There was still some time before the banquet started, Lu Anran thought for a while, and then took Lu Anwei and Lu Anhu to the coffee shop they had been to before. The clerk was still the same girl, and she had some impressions of Lu Anran, after all, it was like last time. It is very rare to have a large group of people, especially the girl who takes the lead is so beautiful.
"Welcome!" The clerk wore two low ponytails, a red and white striped apron, and a coffee shop logo printed on her chest. She looked at Lu Anran with a smile: "What would you like to drink?"
Lu Anran looked around, but there was no change in the decoration of the store, turning her gaze back to the clerk's face, Lu Anran said, "I want a cappuccino."
Lu Anhu said, "Give me a cup of black coffee."
Just as Lu Anwei wanted to order, he was interrupted by Lu Anran: "Give him a cup of hot milk!" I remember the last time, Qin Shuhan said that Lu Anwei had a bad stomach, and it was strange to say that she didn't even know that Lu Anwei had a bad stomach. Qin Shuhan would know! Still look nervous! If Qin Shuhan didn't like Lu Anwei, she would be the first to not believe it, but she didn't know what misunderstanding there was between the two.
Hearing Lu Anran's words, Lu Anwei lowered his head slightly, thinking of Qin Shuhan again, his eyes were full of sadness.
The clerk said to Lu Anran and the others: "Please sit here."
Lu Anran nodded, and sat at a table for four that the clerk pointed out was very close to the bar.
The clerk trotted to the back to place an order, Lu Anran propped his chin with one hand, smelling the reassuring aroma of coffee in the air, there were only two or three people sitting in the whole coffee shop.
After a while, the cup of cappuccino that Lu Anran ordered was brought up, Lu Anran picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then put it down and called: "Hi, please come here."
The clerk walked over strangely and asked, "Hi, what do you need?"
Lu Anran smiled and pushed the coffee cup forward: "Please have another cappuccino."
The clerk saw that Lu Anran only took a sip and refused to drink any more but asked for a new one, nodded and trotted to the back.
While waiting, the drinks ordered by Lu Anhu and Lu Anwei were also brought to the table. Lu Anran glanced at the black coffee in Lu Anhu's cup, then turned his eyes away and continued to wait.
After a while, the clerk brought another cup, this time Lu Anran didn't drink it, just glanced at it, shook his head and said to the clerk who just put down the coffee cup, "Please have another cappuccino."
The clerk was stunned for a moment with an embarrassed look on his face, but he trotted to the back. After a while, the clerk brought out a cup of coffee again, put the coffee cup in front of Lu Anran, and then stood beside Lu Anran nervously looking at Lu Anran. Picking up the coffee cup, he took a sip, then shook his head again and said, "Please have another cup!"
This time, not only the clerk, but even Lu Anhu and Lu Anwei looked at me and I looked at you, wondering what the hell Lu Anran was doing.
The clerk didn't leave this time, but asked politely, "Is the coffee in our shop not to your liking?"
Lu Anran looked into the clerk's eyes and said: "Accord! Of course, otherwise I won't come here again! However, these cups of coffee are not to my taste!" Lu Anran said: "Please let the last time The barista who made me that cup of cappuccino can make me another one, please?" She still likes this coffee shop very much, if it were replaced by the Chinese restaurant for lunch today, she would never go there again in her life It's the second time!
The clerk was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he had met an expert. Just as he was hesitating, the coffee shop opened, and a handsome Italian with a height of about 185 cm and fair skin and deep facial features walked in from the door. When An Ran was at this table, she frowned when she saw several cups of basically untouched coffee. Seeing the Italian, the clerk finally breathed a sigh of relief. Said softly to Lu Anran: "Okay, please wait a moment." Then trotted to catch up with the barista who passed by before.
After a while, the clerk brought out another cup of coffee, put it in front of Lu Anran, and stood beside Lu Anran with a smile, this time the customer should be satisfied!
Looking at the milk froth in the coffee cup, the corner of Lu Anran's mouth twitched, he picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then put it down again and said to the clerk, "Please send a message."
The clerk froze for a moment: "What?"
Lu Anran said: "Tell the barista who made this cup of coffee that he took 2 seconds less to froth the milk. In addition, the last few reverse stirrings made the taste less delicate."
The clerk was stunned for a moment, nodded and trotted into the back again. The Italian who passed by not long ago was wearing a barista's clothes, brought out a cup of coffee himself, and placed it in front of Lu Anran. Then he looked down at Lu Anran. As soon as he came, he heard Xiao Xia, the clerk, tell him that this girl was the one who drank his coffee last time and wanted to see him. Drink again, or ask for another drink just by looking at it. He was still curious, so he made a cup of defective product and brought it up. Even though it was a defective product, it was much better than other baristas. However, he did not expect that the other barista not only drank it, but even noticed his hands and feet. up! Now he is not calm. So he personally made a cup and served it himself. He is still very interested in getting to know people who really understand coffee.
Lu Anran saw that it was the Italian who personally brought the coffee, Lu Anran smiled, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, the taste was delicate and smooth, the aroma of the coffee flowed between the lips and teeth, the milk froth was smooth, the taste of the coffee Astringent, the perfect fusion of the two, a new taste emerged. More importantly, Lu Anran tasted the mellow aroma of steamed milk, which shows that this barista's steamed milk skill is very high! Lu Anran's eyes lit up, it was even better than the last drink! At the same time, Lu Anran thought of the Tao Te Ching that her grandfather asked her to read. Although she had read it well and even recited it all these days, she still couldn't understand the meaning of her grandfather, but after drinking this cup of coffee, Lu Anran seemed a little I understand, the mellowness of the milk, the smoothness of the milk foam, and the sourness of the coffee...the three complement each other and restrain each other, making this cup of coffee different from all the coffees I have ever had before. The bitterness, astringency, and sourness of coffee, in other coffee processes, most people want to get rid of the bitterness and turn it into alcohol, but this cup is different. The containment of the bubble makes it show just right and self-contained! Similarly, milk and milk froth are also restrained by coffee, which not only shows the best side but also makes them moderate... Lu Anran couldn't help but look up at the Italian barista, giving him an appreciative look.
I didn't expect that I just came to drink coffee, but there was such a harvest, Lu Anran couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
Seeing Lu Anran's expression, he knew that this young girl from Country Z really understood his coffee, so he generously extended his hand: "Tom Smollett."
Lu Anran also reached out his hand and shook Tom Smollett's hand politely: "Lu Anran."
Tom Smollett smiled and praised: "Lu, An, Ran? Nice names."
Lu Anran smiled and said, "Tom Smollett is not bad!"
Tom Smollett waved his hand and said, "Just call me Tom."
The two stared at each other, both of which had a sense of heroism. Tom sat on the empty seat next to Lu Anwei, facing Lu Anhu, and Lu Anran diagonally in front: "You can also make coffee?"
Lu Anran smiled and shook her head: "No, but I can taste it." Lu Anran was telling the truth, her taste buds never embarrassed her.
Tom was a little disappointed after hearing Lu Anran's words, but it's good to have someone who understands his coffee so well! Thinking of this, Tom's expression became a little better: "Apart from cappuccino, do you know other coffees?"
Lu Anran nodded: "As long as I have tasted it, I will never forget it in my life."
Tom exclaimed: "Wow! Cool!" Then he stood up: "I'll make a few more cups of coffee, you come and taste!"
"Okay!" Lu Anran naturally wouldn't refuse the delicious coffee.
Next, Tom made five cups of different kinds of coffee in a row, and even the coffee beans were changed from different countries. Unexpectedly, Lu Anran not only told the process of each cup of coffee accurately, but even said the name of the coffee beans and the coffee beans. The roasting time of the beans made Tom admire him.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Anhu reminded Lu Anran that it was time to leave. Lu Anran said goodbye to Tom, and Tom reluctantly told Lu Anran to come again. The two formed a deep cross-border bond over coffee. friendship.
When paying the bill, Tom originally said that he didn't need Lu Anran to pay for it, but when Lu Anran saw a table full of coffee, he smiled and shook his head and refused. After paying, he took Lu Anwei and Lu Anhu to the entrance of the pedestrian street. , Lao Zhang's car has already parked there waiting.
Old Zhang asked, "Miss, where are you going now?"
"Let's go to the banquet." After a pause, Lu Anran suddenly changed his words: "Go to Kailong."
Lu Anhu was stunned: "Isn't it time for the banquet to start?"
Lao Zhang also persuaded: "Miss, this is your first public appearance after the last birthday of the master. This time the banquet was hosted by the Dragons of Kyoto. It is not good to be late..."
Lu Anran smiled and said: "It's okay to be late, go to Kailong!"
Since Chu Yao and Lu Anxin wanted to embarrass themselves so much, wouldn't it be a disappointment to them if he showed up on time? Let them be proud first! Thinking of this, Lu Anran couldn't help laughing. What would Chu Yao and Lu Anxin think if they saw that their dress was not damaged, but even more gorgeous? She couldn't wait to see the expressions of those two.
Seeing Lu Anran's smile, Lu Anhu couldn't help but feel chills down his spine: "Anran, stop laughing... I'm afraid..."
