Chapter 496 The Correct Way to Taste Coffee

As Xu Wen spoke, he picked up the coffee beans in his hand and introduced them: "For example, this bag in my hand is coffee beans from Central and South America. They have been deeply roasted and carefully ground."

"The coffee brewed from these coffee beans will have a creamy taste and flavors of nuts, cocoa and caramel, but it will be a little bitter when you first drink it."

Hearing Xu Wen say this, Zheng Yue nodded repeatedly.

It’s just as Xu Wen said.

Even though Xu Wen had explained it in great detail, it still sounded like a mystery to Zheng Yue, and she simply couldn't relate to his feelings.

As if he could see what Zheng Yue was thinking, Xu Wen smiled and said:

"Do you know why you can't imagine the taste I'm talking about?"

Zheng Yue shook her head.

Xu Wen went on to explain: "Because a large part of the things I'm talking about are things you've never eaten, or you've eaten them but you never realized that it was that thing or taste."

"For example, I say it tastes like nuts, but there are many kinds of nuts, and it's hard for people who don't eat nuts often to immediately associate what nuts taste like."

"For example, I said it tastes like cocoa and caramel. But how often do most of us get to taste cocoa or caramel?"

“That’s why you have no idea what I’m saying, and that’s why many people can’t taste coffee.”

After Xu Wen finished speaking, he opened a drawer next to him and took out a box.

The box contained a variety of nuts and a small jar of caramel.

Xu Wen pointed at the small box and said to Zheng Yue, "Come, try these things first. Don't be nervous. It's just a simple sample to taste."

Zheng Yue didn't waste any time and just picked up some of the nuts to taste.

Seeing Zheng Yue eating so happily, netizens in the live broadcast room immediately started talking about it.

"Xu Gou is so professional, could he be trying to teach Zheng Yue how to taste coffee?"

"Coffee is as bitter as Chinese medicine. Is there anyone who really wants to drink it?"

"Brother, are you sure that coffee is as bitter as Chinese medicine? If you are not kidding, I suggest you go to the hospital to check your tongue. There may be something wrong with your taste system."

"Chinese medicine and coffee do have two completely different flavors. I think anyone who is not a cross-dresser should be able to taste the difference between the two."

After Zheng Yue finished eating nuts and caramel, Xu Wen poured her a cup of hot water and asked her to rinse her mouth.

Then Xu Wen began to grind the coffee beans in front of Zheng Yue.

The aroma of coffee beans is very strong.

When the coffee beans were poured out of the can, Zheng Yue could already smell the rich aroma of the coffee beans.

As a result, when Xu Wen officially started grinding the coffee beans, the aroma was amplified tenfold and instantly filled the entire kitchen!

Zheng Yue thought this was so magical that she couldn't help but exclaim.

"I smell it! Brother Xu, I smell it! It really smells like nuts and cocoa!"

Zheng Yue had never eaten these things before, so no matter how Xu Wen described them, she couldn't imagine them.

Similarly, because you have never eaten it, even if you really smell such a smell, you have no way to describe it.

It's like a person who has never eaten durian, or has never seen durian. If you suddenly bring a durian to him, he can't describe the smell accurately at the first time, and can only say that it stinks.

He himself couldn't tell what kind of smell it was.

As Xu Wen was grinding coffee beans, he said, “Many people have been drinking coffee all their lives, but they actually don’t know much about coffee.”

"The fundamental reason is that their eating habits may be completely different from those of Westerners."

"Westerners think that what tastes good may not be good for us. Just like they think that delicious desserts must be very sweet, like macarons."

"But we think delicious desserts must be slightly sweet, or even not sweet at all."

"This is both a cultural difference and a difference in eating habits."

Xu Wen's words resonated with netizens in the live broadcast room.

"Yes, yes, I absolutely agree with this! I've eaten their desserts when I was studying abroad, and I can only say that they are not suitable for human consumption! It's better to just eat candy!"

"I was also shocked when I ate macarons for the first time. The name sounded very fashionable, as if it was some high-end dessert, and it was also very expensive. But after eating it, you will find that it is really terrible. It feels like eating saccharin."

"This is the food culture of foreigners. They always complain that Chinese food is unhealthy and contains a lot of oil and salt. But if you look at what they eat, such as double cheese, those are real calorie bombs, which is why there are so many fat people abroad."

Soon, Xu Wen brewed a cup of coffee.

Xu Wen poured a cup for Zheng Yue and asked her to try it.

Zheng Yuechang was somewhat reluctant at first.

She said somewhat awkwardly: "Brother Xu, I don't usually drink coffee, so it's a bit of a waste for you to give me this cup of coffee."

Xu Wen smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a small cup, if you're not used to it just pour it out."

After hearing what Xu Wen said, Zheng Yue picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Who knew that just with this sip, Zheng Yue's eyes suddenly widened!
The rich aroma of the coffee instantly filled her entire mouth!
Although this coffee is still a bit bitter, this bitterness is very peculiar, just like washing your tongue, not the kind of bitterness that comes from special additives sticking to your tongue.

"How does it feel?" Xu Wen asked.

Zheng Yue nodded repeatedly.

"Delicious! I've never tasted such delicious coffee!"

Xu Wen smiled slightly, took out a bottle of milk from the refrigerator and poured some into the cup.

"Pure coffee is only fragrant, but not mellow enough. It becomes mellow after adding milk. Why don't you try a little more now?"

After the white milk was poured into the cup, it quickly blended with the black coffee.

Zheng Yue took a sip and her eyes became even more amazed!
It was exactly as Xu Wen said, the coffee before was just fragrant.

But now, in addition to being fragrant, coffee is also very mellow. The milky flavor and sweetness of the milk also neutralize the bitterness and slight sourness of the coffee, making the whole coffee taste more delicious!
Zheng Yue couldn't help but admire it.

"No wonder people used to add milk to their coffee. Now it seems to make sense. Only with milk can it taste good."

Xu Wen took the coffee pot in his hand and said with a smile: "It's not just milk. In fact, there are many other things you can add to coffee. I'll introduce them to you slowly when I have time."
