Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

"Then let's have an iced Americano and a cappuccino." Li Xiao said with a smile, and quickly returned the tablet.

"Your order is too fast!" Xiao Wang was stunned for a moment, but he looked at Li Xiao and the waiter hesitantly, a little in disbelief, "Did you see clearly, you just ordered so quickly. "

Seeing Xiao Wang's hesitant look, Li Xiao just smiled, "Don't worry, you don't like coffee, but I still drink it often, so I still know something about coffee."

Xiao Wang paused, then nodded. After all, this friend in front of him is a well-known gourmet anchor. What's so great about coffee is that it's not a foreign thing.

"However, are you sure that the coffee you ordered will be the one I like?" Xiao Wang was still a little worried, after all, in his impression, coffee was that kind of liquid that was too bitter to swallow, and it also smelled strange. weird.

Li Xiao patted his chest, "Don't worry, I know a little about coffee."

Soon, the waiter ground the coffee beans, made two cups of coffee, and handed them to Xiao Wang and Li Xiao.

The iced Americano was placed in front of Li Xiao. It was an ordinary glass. The coffee in it was brown-black, darker in color, and solid in color. There was nothing special about it, except that a root canal was inserted.

"Why does your cup look so much like banlangen?" Xiao Wang couldn't help teasing.

The color of the Banlangen is similar to that of the Ice American, and people who don’t know it probably think that the Ice American is the Banlangen.

However, Li Xiao just smiled, and then pushed another cup of cappuccino in front of Xiao Wang.

"This cup is yours, drink it before evaluating."

Looking at Li Xiao's mysterious smile, Xiao Wang has already begun to wonder if Li Xiao is playing tricks on him by deliberately giving him bad coffee.

However, compared to Li Xiao's iced Americano, this cappuccino is very artistic.

This cappuccino is served in a small white cup, and although the color is also brown, it is lighter than the ice American style, and there are white garlands on it.

"So this is the latte art of coffee? It's the first time I've seen it, and it's really special." Xiao Wang looked at the coffee in his hand, was a little surprised, and immediately liked it more.

"Not all coffees have latte art. I ordered this cup specially for you. It not only looks good but also tastes good." Li Xiao smiled again, pushing the coffee closer to Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang frowned, so he took a sip timidly.

He had already made a bitter expression, but what he didn't expect was that the coffee felt different when it touched the tip of his tongue, not the bitterness he imagined.

I saw that the taste of this coffee is slightly smeared on the tip of the tongue, and it can be said to be a very gentle feeling. The taste of coffee is very strong, but it will not make people feel conflicted at all. a feeling of.

"Drink it well." Suddenly, a flower bloomed on Xiao Wang's face.

"I also want to praise you, you are good at drinking coffee, at least you won't be bored in one sip." Li Xiao saw Xiao Wang so happy, but in fact he was also very happy in his heart, "If you are bored in one sip, the coffee is delicious You can’t feel it at all, and you can only feel it when you drink coffee slowly, one sip at a time.”

In fact, wine is similar to coffee, and you can only feel the deliciousness in it if you taste it slowly.

"Actually, not all coffee is bitter." Li Xiao said suddenly and seriously, "The coffee you drank before may be bitter, and most of the coffee may also be bitter, but it cannot be denied that there is sweet coffee here .”

Looking at Li Xiao with a serious face, Xiao Wang joked: "Why can't you be sure that this is the result of adding milk and sugar to the coffee?"

Unexpectedly, Li Xiao's expression became more serious, "No, you are wrong, no matter how bitter the coffee is, no matter how much sugar and milk are added, it still tastes bitter. Many things are like this."

The last sentence was just spoken by Li Xiao in a calm manner. For some reason, Xiao Wang was stunned, and he fell into deep thought.

The latte art on the coffee in front of me has been slightly deformed by Xiao Wang, but I can still vaguely see its original appearance, which is still pretty.

And the bitter coffee in his impression didn't seem to be very impressive, his mind was full of the sweetness of this cappuccino.

In fact, cappuccino is not really sweet, it is not the same as sweet milk, it is just because the coffee in Xiao Wang's impression is too bitter, so this slightly sweet coffee occupies his mind.

"Before I drank this kind of coffee, I always thought that coffee was always bitter, unpalatable, or even completely unacceptable." Xiao Wang laughed out loud as he talked, "As expected, I Still don't drink coffee."

At this moment, his mind is full of pictures of himself and Lin Yi being together, and he can already know that in fact, he and Lin Yi are not from the same world, and he will not always walk in the same direction.

A cup of coffee may always be bitter in Xiao Wang's mind, so he refuses to accept new ones.This is just like Xiao Wang's own personality. He is a very old-fashioned person, so he won't try many things.

This is so different from Lin Yi, the two of them together are like a cup of bitter coffee, it is bitter just after drinking it, and some people even want to taste the last sip from the coffee to see if it can change sweet.

In fact, as Li Xiao said, no matter how bitter the coffee is, no matter how much milk and sugar is added, it will still be as bitter as before and will not change much.

"Oh, it's all gone elsewhere." Xiao Wang smiled a little, but Li Xiao could tell that he was still smiling forcedly.

"By the way, can't you tell me how to know coffee?" Xiao Wang blinked at Li Xiao, with a perfunctory smile on his face, and tears in his eyes.

Although Li Xiao was very understanding, but Li Xiao couldn't ignore Xiao Wang's words, so he had to follow his wishes and change the topic.

"Well, it's been so long, you may still not know some coffee." Li Xiao took out his mobile phone, and he searched for some pictures for Xiao Wang.

"Then I'll teach you some coffee skills today. It's actually very simple, as long as you remember it." Li Xiao smiled, just wanting to relax Xiao Wang in front of him.

Xiao Wang nodded, pointed at Li Xiao's coffee and said, "Is this iced Americano? I haven't tried it yet."

As soon as Xiao Wang finished speaking, he immediately stretched out his hand, just about to take a sip, but was held down by Li Xiao, "You still have to be mentally prepared."

Xiao Wang couldn't understand what Li Xiao meant at all, but he quickly guessed, "Isn't this cup of coffee bitter? Maybe it's not as good as my cappuccino!"

Li Xiao was a little surprised, she froze for a while, and after a second, she recovered her smile, "It seems that you are still mentally prepared for what you said."

Immediately, Li Xiao let go of his hand and asked Xiao Wang to try it himself.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wang took a sip of this iced Americano, only to hear the ice cubes in it colliding against the side of the cup, making a bang bang bang bang sound, taking a sip of the cold coffee, Xiao Wang just wanted to vomit immediately .

The stamina of this coffee is also very strong. After a while, Xiao Wang still hasn't recovered. He just wants to take a sip of his own cappuccino.

"My drink is still delicious, what's the matter with your iced Americano?" Xiao Wang's face changed, and he said bitterly.

Li Xiao chuckled, and the reaction was exactly what he thought, it seems that Xiao Wang still can't drink this kind of coffee.

"I told you to prepare yourself mentally, why do you still react like this?" Li Xiao raised her eyebrows, and took a sip of the iced Americano very calmly, without changing her expression.

This is really too difficult for Xiao Wang, because this ice American style is really bitter for Xiao Wang, and he can't accept it at all.

"I'm already mentally prepared. I knew it would be bitter, but I really didn't expect this to be so bitter." When Xiao Wang mentioned this ice Americano, his expression turned pale immediately, as if he just smelled it. His voice changed.

Li Xiao introduced to Xiao Wang: "This is the most orthodox type of coffee. It's called Iced Americano. It's usually iced, and it tastes the most bitter among coffees."

Hearing this, Xiao Wang couldn't help frowning, "Since it's so bitter, why does it still exist? Does anyone really like to drink this stuff?"

Hearing this, Li Xiao lowered his head and smiled, "Don't think too much, the most people drink iced Americano, although it is very bitter and the most bitter, but many people like to drink it with milk and sugar. The taste is also acceptable."

Seeing that Li Xiao took another sip, and his face still remained unchanged, Xiao Wang was frightened and dumbfounded. He had no choice but to feel that the iced Americano was too bitter.

"Is the cappuccino the sweetest coffee?" Xiao Wang lowered his head and took a sip of the cappuccino. The mellow taste reverberated in his mouth, which made Xiao Wang very fond of it.

Li Xiao nodded, "You can say that. Of course, there are coffees like macchiato that taste less bitter. This kind of coffee is made from a blend, so it's not so bitter."

After listening to Li Xiao's introduction, Xiao Wang also thought of making inferences for himself, "Since this is the case, does it mean that the iced Americano is actually the most orthodox coffee, so it is also the most bitter."

Li Xiao nodded, agreeing with this statement very much.

In fact, a lot of iced Americano is ground from coffee beans without any additions, so that its initial taste is like this, so it is very bitter.

After getting to know a little bit, Xiao Wang has learned how to order coffee. When he comes to the cafe next time, Xiao Wang promises that he will definitely be able to order his favorite coffee, and he will not step on the thunder.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Wang was a little hungry while chatting, he looked up at Lin Yi who was not far away, she was still chatting with that man with great interest, and she didn't know what they were talking about, but it seemed that she should It's not that fast.

"Why don't we order something to eat? To be honest, I'm a little hungry." Xiao Wang's hungry appearance made Li Xiao very distressed.

Li Xiao quickly called the waiter and asked the waiter to order.

"This shrimp ball looks very good." Xiao Wang ordered, and the food was served soon.

This is a plate of fried shrimp balls. Generally, there is a shrimp in this shrimp ball, and the outside is fried very crispy. The shrimp inside is also very fragrant and crispy. It is so delicious.

Xiao Wang, who ate a few shrimp balls, tasted like shrimp balls every time he hiccupped, "It's so delicious!"

Xiao Wang really didn't expect to eat such a delicious snack, and it was very satisfying. After eating, he was not only full but also won't feel hungry.

"By the way, didn't you say that you have been to this cafe several times before?" After eating and drinking, Li Xiao still opened up the topic.

As soon as this was mentioned, Xiao Wang felt a little lost in a good mood, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Li Xiao didn't know whether to ask or not. He just thought that this topic should be nothing. Besides, although Xiao Wang himself didn't know how to order coffee, he had been to this shop so many times before. It's a little strange.

But you can’t blame Xiao Wang for this matter, after all, he doesn’t like coffee in the first place, and maybe he accompanied Lin Yi when he went to the coffee shop before. There is an ambiguous atmosphere.

"Actually, I think you should have figured it out, why I don't like coffee very much, and I've been here several times." Speaking of this, Xiao Wang's face is obviously not very good.

All Li Xiao could think about was the picture of Lin Yi and Xiao Wang together, and it really was that kind of scene.
