Lieutenant, stand at attention and rest!

Irish coffee, missing someone.

It also has another name called: Angel's Tears.

Qin Zhelang asked her with a smile: "Do you know the romantic story behind it?"

Yao Xiaojing shook her head lightly, she rarely drank coffee.

Qin Zhelang stroked the handle of the mug, and his thoughts gradually drifted away. .He recalled: "The first time I drank Irish coffee was in a street cafe in Cambridge. I was a poor student at the time. I remember that it was cold and rainy that day, and I was frozen. With only a few tens of dollars, I entered this cafe at random, planning to take a nap in it, waiting to go to the next student’s home to make up lessons. The booths in the cafe are very expensive, so I can only sit on the stool in front of the bar and prepare to order a drink The hot water sat until the time to leave, but damn, there wasn't anything I needed there. Later, the barman recommended me an Irish coffee, which was cheap and did exactly what I asked for."

Yao Xiaojing's attention was drawn to the story he told, and she listened carefully.

With a smile on his face, Qin Zhelang continued, "I'm not as lucky as you. Someone will remind me to drink it while it's hot and don't stir it. I'm used to mixing coffee with a spoon before drinking it. That day was no exception. , Under the strange gaze of the hostess, I raised my head and drank the messy liquid in one gulp."

Yao Xiaojing imagined his appearance at that time, and couldn't help revealing the dimples on her cheeks, and smiled slightly.

Qin Zhelang also smiled, faintly, like a spring breeze.

"Wow... I was so hot that I was jumping back and forth in the cafe... I never thought that such a hot liquid could be hidden under the cold cream. After I covered my mouth and felt alive again , but the body is strangely filled with a warm feeling. I no longer feel cold, and I no longer tremble all over. Looking at the cold rain in New York, for the first time, I feel that it is not as annoying as I imagined."

Yao Xiaojing picked up the cup, stared at the dark brown liquid inside and said, "Mr. Qin, but I still can't see how romantic it is... From your story, I only heard that it has the effect of dispelling wind and dampness..."

Qin Zhelang was taken aback when he heard the sound, then he laughed. .

"It's not me who is romantic, but the story behind Irish coffee."

"Oh?" She was really curious.

Qin Zhelang tapped the coffee tray with his slender fingers, and began to talk in a quiet tone: "The inventor of Irish coffee is the bartender at Dublin Airport. Because the planes that cross the Atlantic often refuel at this airport, passengers like to drink a cup of Irish coffee when they get off the plane. Coffee, so it was spread around the world with the flight. At first, the bartender met a beautiful stewardess at Dublin Airport and fell in love at first sight. The bartender liked her very much. He thought she was as strong and mellow as Irish whiskey But every time she came to the bar, she always ordered different coffees according to her mood, and never ordered cocktails. This bartender is good at mixing cocktails. He really hopes that she can drink a cocktail that he personally made for her. .Later he finally figured out a way to combine the Irish whiskey he thought was like a girl with coffee to become a new drink. Then he named it Irish Coffee and added it to the Menu, hoping that the girl would find it. It’s a pity that this girl Not a careful person, so I never discovered Irish coffee. The bartender never reminded her, just doing his job at the bar, and then expecting the girl to visit every once in a while. Later, she finally discovered Irish coffee , and clicked on it."

Yao Xiaojing thought Happy ended.Unexpectedly, Qin Zhelang asked her with complicated emotions: "Do you know how long it took from the bartender inventing Irish coffee to the girl ordering Irish coffee?"

Yao Xiaojing shook her head.

"A whole year." He actually spent a few tenths of his life in order to let his unrequited love discover his heart.

"When he made Irish coffee for her for the first time, he shed tears because of excitement. And because he was afraid of being seen by her, he wiped the tears away with his fingers, and then secretly drew a circle on the mouth of the Irish coffee cup with tears. So The taste of the first sip of Irish coffee, with the flavor fermented after being suppressed for a long time. And she became the first customer to order Irish coffee. The flight attendant liked Irish coffee very much, and as long as she stayed at Dublin Airport, Then he would order a cup of Irish coffee. Over time, the two of them became very acquainted. The flight attendant would tell him interesting stories about countries in the world, and the bartender taught her how to make Irish coffee. Until one day, she decided not to be a flight attendant and told him Farewell , their story is over."

Yao Xiaojing murmured: "Farewell? Farewell, I won't see you again."

"Yes, it's not the same as Goodbye. The last time he made Irish coffee for her, he asked her: Want some tear drops? Because he still hopes that she can experience the taste of fermented missing. After the stewardess returned home in San Francisco One day, she suddenly wanted to drink Irish coffee, but she searched all the cafes but found nothing. Later she learned that Irish coffee was created by the bartender just for her, but she still didn't understand why the bartender asked her: "Want some tear drops ? "

"What happened after that?" She felt her heart ache again, deeply regretting this hopeless love and the bartender's persistence.

"Not long after, she opened a coffee shop and sold Irish coffee. Gradually, Irish coffee became popular in San Francisco. This is why Irish coffee first appeared in Dublin, Ireland, but prevailed in San Francisco."

"Aren't they together? Didn't the stewardess understand his intentions?"

Qin Zhelang nodded regretfully, and admitted: "Yes, in this world, there are too many missed things. There are regrets to have memories, and imperfections to cherish. Xiao Jing, for them, the process is the only thing that matters. It's the most beautiful place."

Yao Xiaojing lowered her eyes thoughtfully, and after thinking for a while, she asked, "Mr. Qin, I still want to know why no one orders Irish coffee for a whole year?"

Qin Zhelang stared at her delicate face with burning eyes: "Because the bartender made double coffee orders, only the ones given to the flight attendants when ordering coffee had Irish coffee on it, while the other coffee orders didn't have Irish coffee on it, so the others Customers don't order Irish coffee."

"Oh... so that's how it is..." She sighed, and when she picked up the cup in her hand again, there was something different in her eyes. . .
