v12 Chapter 26: Sakurako's Coffee

"I'm so sorry for bringing friends to disturb you so late!"

"Well... No, I originally planned to continue preparing for the store opening!"

Originally, Lin Xiuyi also wanted to take everyone to Yingzi's store on a whim, but later he felt that Yingzi should have fallen asleep by this time. With the attitude of giving it a try, Lin Xiuyi sent a message to Sakurako's LINE. Unexpectedly, I got a response from Sakurako very quickly.

A group of people filed quietly in through the door of the cafe, and almost every opposite **** who saw Sakurako showed a little surprise at her beauty. But when they thought that they were introduced by Lin Xiuyi, they also misunderstood the relationship between Lin Xiuyi and Yingzi.

"Xiuichi-kun, isn't that lady Sakurako Sakura? She looks so pretty! Are you two dating now?"

Kono Shohei quietly came to Lin Xiuyi's side and asked Lin Xiuyi with envy.

"Ah... that's not true, I just helped Miss Sakurako with a little help after she was released from prison! Now, Sakurako has sold her previous storefront and residence, and plans to rely on running a cafe to start her own new life. life!"

Lin Xiu avoided the crowd and introduced Kono Shohei in a low voice. After all, Kono-kun was also one of the witnesses of the Cassiopeia train murder incident, and Kono Shohei was also an insider of Sakurako's details.

Because it is a store that has just been acquired, it has not been renovated according to Sakurako's wishes, so there is still a long time before the real opening. However, it was not difficult for Sakurako to entertain Lin Xiuyi's friends with coffee.

"So, what do you all want to drink?"

Sakurako stood behind the counter and asked politely to everyone.

"Mocha!"

"latté!"

"Caramel macchiato!"

Although it was the first time to visit this unknown cafe, everyone still reported their favorite drinks.

"Is it a combination of milk coffee? Mr. Lin? Is it still Espresso?"

Sakurako turned her head to the side and asked Lin Xiuyi.

"Ah... No, I want to try something different this time. How about a cappuccino?"

"Cappuccino, okay! Then please wait a moment!"

Sakurako stood behind the bar and firstly rinsed the coffee cup in her hand with a spray gun. The air was filled with the aroma of lavender, and then Sakurako took off the handle on the coffee machine and added some ground coffee powder to it.

Pull off the excess ground coffee, then compact the ground coffee in the handle and place it back on the machine. In a moment, two bunches of dark brown coffee liquid slowly dripped into the white coffee cup below.

The fragrant Espresso is still used as the base, and the proportion to the hot milk should be just right, and at the same time, a special pattern should be formed on the surface of the coffee. Only in this way can the taste and appearance of the coffee be satisfactory.

With the completion of the two espresso shots, Sakurako has also made the milk froth that will be used soon. With a slight shaking of the wrist, two lattes were placed in front of Mr. Kirihara and Mr. Kitamura.

"Lattes for two are ready!"

The next thing Sakurako is going to prepare is Miss Morino's caramel macchiato, as well as Mocha of Hasa Seiichi and Kono Mukohei. These two types of coffee are relatively high in sugar and require more raw materials. A caramel macchiato is an espresso topped with a thick layer of milk foam, topped with some caramel, while a mocha requires chocolate sauce. However, none of this is difficult for Sakurako, who once relied on coffee to pass the time in Aomori Prison. I saw she reprocessed three more cups of espresso, and then covered the top of the coffee with a more sloppy milk froth. When it was all ready, Sakurako left a beautiful pattern on top of the coffee with caramel and chocolate sauce respectively.

When Lin Xiuyi took the cappuccino that Sakurako handed over for the last time, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help feeling heartfelt admiration when he saw the pattern of cherry blossoms floating above the coffee. He raised the cup and took a sip carefully. For a moment, the aroma of lavender, the taste of milk, the sweetness of the fruit, the sour taste of oranges, and the bitterness of the coffee itself made this cup of coffee more appealing. The taste suddenly became extremely rich.

"Eh? This... taste, really!"

"Never tasted such good coffee!"

"Is the lavender smell in it from the time I used the spray gun to rinse the cup just now?"

"I seem to taste a faint orange flavor!"

Almost everyone who tasted Sakurako's craftsmanship is full of praise for their coffee. Lin Xiuyi looked at Yingzi curiously, but found that everyone's reaction seemed to be expected by Yingzi.

"What kind of coffee is this, why is it different from what I usually drink?"

Lin Xiuyi asked Yingzi curiously.

"It seems that everyone has found out. What I invited you to taste just now is something I finally bought from a previous supplier. This year's Esmeralda Selected Auction () is the most eye-catching premium coffee produced by the Emerald Manor. The Geisha in the sun…”

Sakurako had a faint smile on her face. After all, everyone's reaction just now gave Sakurako enough confidence, and she told everyone the secret of this cup of coffee with satisfaction.

"That... Could you ask me, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The Geisha you mentioned just now should be very expensive, right?"

Yu Sa Seiichi curiously asked Sakurako for advice.

"Well... it's really expensive. The price of raw beans per pound is about 601 US dollars. If converted into kilograms, it is probably less than 150,000 yen per kilogram! (8900 RMB

"150,000 yen? Then this cup, this cup..."

Hearing Sakurako's price, Seiichi Hasa couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Although the people present here are all civil servants with high annual income, Seiichi Hasa is not a policeman after all, and his annual income is only about 6 million yen, which is probably a little better than most office workers. So he will naturally be sensitive to the price of coffee.

"Because the store has not yet opened, this cup is for everyone to taste just now. If you think it's not bad, please take care of everyone when it officially opens in the future!"

Sakurako explained to everyone with a smile, after all, these are all friends brought by Lin Xiuyi. Of course, she has to bring out the best to entertain everyone, but if it causes any unnecessary misunderstandings, it will be self-defeating. .
