Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 311

There are differences between raw and cooked coffee beans. If they are raw, Xia Zhi can't handle them, but fortunately they have been processed. Xia Zhi only needs to grind them into powder.However, although Xia Zhi had the store manager's small file that he could use when he was in the store, it was different now.

And using a file is not a normal operation. It is usually ground into powder by a machine. But Xia Zhi was bored, so the store manager suddenly bought a file as a gift for Xia Zhi, but that thing Because he didn't need it at ordinary times, Xia Zhi stayed in the store.

Fortunately, the coffee beans were not very hard. Xia Zhi crushed the coffee beans with a pair of chopsticks, but the degree of fineness was not comparable to what he usually gets in the store, nor what he drinks when he takes it home.Xia Zhi used chopsticks to push away the larger pieces, and at the same time, he used chopsticks to grind them into pieces. Although the speed was not very fast, it was much faster than when he usually had nothing to do when grinding coffee beans, and the level of fineness was also comparable. almost.

Sure enough, using a file is not an orthodox method at all.

There are two common ways to brew coffee. The first one is in a relatively ordinary store. If there are a large number of the same orders at one time, a special container will be used to brew it, and then the coffee liquid will be poured out through the filter port. This is A relatively common one. If you master it well, the taste of the coffee will not be any different.Xia Zhi will use that pot even when there is only one order, because the store does not prepare filter paper at all...

There is also a more particular method used by more particular people. Put the filter paper on the mouth of the cup to form a funnel, pour the coffee powder on the filter paper, and then use the hot water from the kettle to mix the coffee powder around the edge of the filter paper. Pour hot water into the cup. The larger parts that will not melt or have poor melting effect will be left on the filter paper and will not enter the cup and affect the taste.This is the most common practice in higher-end stores.

After all, what people who go in and out of high-end stores are looking for is an atmosphere that is different from the general situation. The raw materials are slightly more expensive, and the high-end atmosphere is the main part of the products they spend money on.

Because obviously there is no special pot for making coffee in the school, so Xia Zhi can only use this troublesome method, which is also impossible.

Xia Zhi himself remembered that the water hadn't been boiled when he was grinding the coffee beans. When he was about to find the pot, he saw that Baishi Lihua had already set the pot stand on the fire.

That's right, after all, she just said that her family has always done this, so it's not a strange thing to think of this.Since the preparation work that needed to be done by oneself was taken care of by Shiraishi Reika, Xia Zhi was happy to be free and left it alone.

In fact, making coffee is not something that requires specialized knowledge. Although excellent baristas have various requirements for coffee beans, water sources, production processes and other troublesome things, Xia Zhi is obviously not such a professional player. What can be done can actually be done by anyone present. The only difference is that Xia Zhi has some experience in the amount of coffee powder and water temperature, and is relatively familiar with the smoothness of the production.

Maybe Shiraishi Rika on the other side knows much more than she does. After all, although drinks belong to another more professional system, Xia Zhi is not professional, and this system and food are also confused and cannot distinguish each other.As a direct descendant of a five-star chef, Shiraishi Rika should be relatively familiar with these things.

Xia Zhi placed the filter paper on the mouth of the cup, poured the coffee powder evenly on the filter paper according to his memory, and then there was no need to do anything else.Although it takes some time to boil water, in this era, it obviously doesn't take long. Xia Zhi took the pot filled with boiling water from Shiraishi Rika's hand and put it on the kitchen counter.

"Isn't the water boiling?" Ryoko Yamamoto looked a little confused.

"It's actually not good to use boiling water directly. It's better to let it sit for a while and wait until the temperature drops to about [-] degrees Celsius."

The principle of "too much is not enough" has a foundation that can be established no matter which country or field it is in.

"Well, I think it's okay. By the way, do you want to pretend to be more professional to look cool or something?"

"I'm not as boring as you."

Xia Zhi opened the lid of the pot to speed up the cooling process. After a while, when it felt like it was almost done, he put the lid back on the pot again, lifted the pot, washed the coffee powder into coffee liquid, and then took away the filter paper. Fold it and throw it in the trash.The coffee is just that, nothing fancy.

"It seems very simple." Ryoko Yamamoto said, holding her chin.

"It's not difficult at all. It can be done with a little contact. Do you want to try?"

Yamamoto Ryoko shook her head simply: "No. In my life, I only need to go to a coffee shop or canned coffee. I don't need such useless skills."

How rude.

Xia Zhi pushed a total of six cups of coffee to the girls who were watching.

"It's better to wait a little longer, it's still hot now."

Xia Zhi didn't pour himself a cup, he knew his own craftsmanship, he used ingredients he was familiar with, and he knew the taste of coffee, so he didn't have any curiosity.And I'm not thirsty now.

If he doesn't do any strenuous or strenuous exercise, Xia Zhi feels that he can go without drinking water for half a day without feeling thirsty. Although he will still drink if there is water around him, he doesn't feel particularly thirsty or anything. It can be regarded as a small specialty.Or is it a feature?
"Xia Zhijun, don't you want to drink it yourself?" Baishi Lihua still asked in a friendly manner.

"No, I just came here after drinking water after lunch at noon. I'm not very thirsty now."

The girls hadn't finished drinking the small cakes. After thanking Xia, they took the coffee cups and returned to the plate with the small cakes.Xia Zhi was a little envious.

Ryoko Yamamoto is obviously not a person who likes to wait. She blew on the steaming and fragrant coffee, then took a small sip, and savored it carefully: "It feels very ordinary, and it is different from the coffee in the coffee shop." There’s no difference.”

If there is any difference, it is weird, this is the coffee in the coffee shop.Xia Zhi rolled his eyes.

"I think it's good." Shiraishi Rika was talking to Xia Zhi beside her. Xia Zhi didn't know if she had drunk it, but speaking of good words, it was a little easier to tell. After all, Xia Zhi didn't think her craftsmanship was comparable to The Shiraishi family lives in a high-end atmosphere every day.

"Hey, your feelings don't count." Ryoko Yamamoto said directly and ruthlessly: "But although Japanese people like to open coffee shops and so on, their requirements for coffee are not very high. After all, even MAX Not so much coffee, but black milk can become a best-selling coffee. It seems that people don’t care much about professional things. As long as it suits your heart, it will be fine. It suits your heart.”

Although he suddenly said something like a philosophy of life, Xia Zhi still didn't believe what Ryoko Yamamoto said.Because for her, or almost all girls, when it comes to clothes, bags, cosmetics and the like, they never look for more high-end and popular brands from the items they like. They only choose from numerous brands that are almost unheard of. Find something that suits them from here, even if the product is not that suitable for them.

Ah.Girls who tell lies.

Xia Zhi has long been accustomed to such common comments, because if you keep caring about it, you will become unable to do things you could have done well. Although it is not good to lose your enterprising spirit, at present, when it comes to this That's enough.Moreover, the main reason is that Xia Zhi does not have the financial support to make himself more sophisticated.

Upgrading skills costs money!If you don’t spend money, just work hard.There is no skill in this world that can be upgraded without moving. If there is, it is probably dazed and sleeping, plus a daydream.

Apparently, Xia Zhi felt that developing these skills was not a good thing.

"Well, you're considered qualified."

"Thank you boss, I will definitely work hard."

Xia Zhi said without emotion.

"Work hard. Promotion and salary increase are not a dream. After marrying Bai Fumei and reaching the pinnacle of life, don't forget me as an old friend. Don't forget each other even if you are rich or noble."

She even patted Xia Zhi on the shoulder, making Xia Zhi almost laugh out loud.

Except for "Fuck it well," not a single syllable she said was in Japanese.Xia Zhi felt that if one day he saw the blogger who was popularizing these things everywhere, Xia Zhi would definitely beat him up to safeguard the country's honor.

However, it had been a long time since I heard them chatting in Chinese, and Xia Zhi felt a little nostalgic for some reason.It may be an exaggeration to say that I miss you, but the meaning is actually the same.

"Ryo! Ryoko you!"

Bai Shi Lihua, who was sitting on the other side, spoke.Speaking of which, Lihua is actually not very good at Chinese. Although she said that she asked her for Chinese lessons, Xia Zhi had never seen this happen before. She probably had forgotten about it.After all, if you have no interest, learning Chinese is definitely a kind of torture.

"Have you been scolded for talking nonsense?" Natsuki looked at Ryoko Yamamoto gloatingly, but found that she was looking in the direction of Shiraishi Reika with some confusion, as if she didn't hear what she said.Xia Zhi also turned around and looked at Shiraishi Reika in confusion. He saw Shiraishi Reika. There was a little anger on her face, but more of it was... shy?
Xia Zhi blinked uncertainly and then checked carefully.

Although Rika Shiraishi curled her lips unhappily and looked at Ryoko Yamamoto, her face was red and her anger was not very visible.

Ok?
Could it be that she understood?
Come on... Is Chinese so easy to learn?This is different from what I remember.

"Lihua, do you...understand?" Yamamoto Ryoko asked uncertainly, and also asked Xia Zhi's thoughts.

She noticed that Xia Zhi was also looking at her, and her speech became hesitant again: "I, I have been self-taught for six months anyway, and I can still understand simple words!"

Cheating can't be so blatant.Xia Zhi rolled his eyes.

Although six months seems to be a long time, half a year, Chinese itself is not that easy to learn. Let’s not talk about the language. Shiraishi Rika is still self-taught, although she may also have hired a tutor or something, because of the existence of Yamamoto Ryoko, she is honest Said Natsuhi thinks it's impossible, Shiraishi Rika's after-school life has probably been controlled by Yamamoto Ryoko.

So, can people really do whatever they want if they are smart?

One bite of the virtual lemon made Xia Zhi cry.

Xia Zhi just took a bite of his virtual lemon when he suddenly remembered something.

Shiraishi Rika has taught herself Chinese for a long time, which means that she probably understands what Ryoko Yamamoto just said.Rather, judging from her reaction, she understood 100%.

What did Ryoko Yamamoto just say?
As long as we are rich and honorable, don’t forget each other?Although it was a little difficult, I didn't expect that Shiraishi Rika could understand it. She was indeed too good.There's nothing wrong with that, just go a little further.

get promoted?It's just a joke, so that's fine, but it seems like it's going too far.

Marry Bai Fumei and embark on...

Absolutely!

"She just made a joke, don't take it too seriously." Xia Zhi coughed lightly and explained.

If there is no explanation, Xia Zhi suspects that Shiraishi Rika will probably ask someone to sink herself into Chiba Bay in a rage.Xia Zhi didn't want to go to a place where he didn't even know whether it existed or not.

Then he turned around and said, "You too, just say some weird things. Apologize now."

Yamamoto Ryoko looked at Xia Zhi with wide eyes: "Originally... Well, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Yamamoto Ryoko originally wanted to quibble, but after seeing the kind eyes of a girl who turned her emotions into murderous intent due to extreme shyness, she decided it would be better to admit her mistake.

Oh my god, why didn't this couple of bitches come together to bully me before they're even a couple? What if this happens in the future?This matter must not be left alone,
After admitting his mistake, Yamamoto Ryoko's brain began to work rapidly again.

Natsuki has no superpowers, and Shiraishi Rika's superpowers are not of the type that can sense when others are having bad thoughts. Naturally, no one can detect the little tricks in Yamamoto Ryoko's mind.

Natsuki saw that after Yamamoto Ryoko admitted her mistake and had a good attitude, she turned to look at Shiraishi Rika: "The coffee will get cold if you don't drink it."

Shiraishi Rika withdrew her gaze, took a deep breath, drank coffee, and took this opportunity to try to calm down the ups and downs of her emotions caused by Yamamoto Ryoko.

The truth is one thing, but it is another thing for others to tell the hidden truth.

The time has not come yet, the time has not come yet, the time has not come yet...

Shiraishi Rika kept repeating these words in her heart.

Xia Zhi regretted that he didn't make a cup of coffee for himself, and now he sat in the same place with a little embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

　Hey, hey, it's really bad, the game group was exploded, but luckily it was a trumpet.Chao Xingkong, who of you is coming?
