Chapter 172 Hand Grinding Coffee
Zhao Changan knocked on the door of the archives director's office in confusion, and only after entering the room did he understand what was going on.

The elegant middle-aged woman in front of him is the one he met in Liu Qihua's office the day before yesterday.

Then, the reason why she came to him is self-evident, it is absolutely inseparable from Liu Qihua and this computer contract.

"Sit down, would you like tea or coffee?"

Qi Xiu put down the documents in her hand, stood up, walked to the desk, took out a disposable paper cup and asked.

"I am drinking coffee,"

Zhao Changan actually likes to drink tea.

Yue Lu's mother runs a freshly ground coffee shop and often gives them coffee beans. After a long time, Li Shiya, who loves to stay up late, fell in love with drinking coffee.

And Zhao Changan became Li Shiya's coffee bean grinder and coffee powder brewer.

In this era, Zhao Chang'an hadn't drank coffee for more than half a year. Hearing what Qi Xiuyi said at this time, he couldn't help wanting to taste the taste of the past.

Qi Xiu was slightly taken aback.

Because the vast majority of people who come to her office, facing her politeness, almost say 'I'm not thirsty', 'Thank you, I don't drink'——

Things like that.

Even if I drink it occasionally, I also choose to drink tea.

It's really the first one to drink coffee so frankly.

Qi Xiu glanced at Zhao Changan, and saw the sad look on his face.

I was taken aback again.

"Have a cup of coffee, as for such deliberate vicissitudes? I don't even think about how old I am!"

Qi Xiu cursed inwardly.

All in all, her first impression of Zhao Changan was that she had no impression, and her second impression was that she was somewhat displeased.

Some regretted asking him what he was drinking for?Tell him the business directly, or it will be over!

"Director Qi, I'll do it myself."

Seeing Qi Xiu going to get the coffee box, Zhao Changan hurried over: "How can this be—"

Seeing the empty coffee box opened, Zhao Changan and Qi Xiu were a little dazed.

It was only then that Qi Xiu remembered that she wanted to grind some coffee beans first after get off work in the morning, but at noon she found out that Liu Qihua and Zhao Changan had signed a contract for [-] complete machines, and she was so anxious that she forgot about it.

"This is a big embarrassment!"

Qi Xiu's face was red, feeling ashamed in front of a child, she was very depressed.

"Curator, you have a full set of equipment here!"

Zhao Changan saw a complete set of coffee grinding tools in the glass closet next to it, and a large glass filled with half a bottle of coffee beans.

Can't help itching.

However, there are more small thoughts surging.

He directly opened the glass wall cabinet, took out the hand grinder, the glass bottle containing the coffee beans, the paper filter cup,——

Qi Xiu frowned slightly.

But after all, he didn't say anything, sat back in the office chair, and quietly watched Zhao Changan's performance.

Zhao Changan deliberately did not look at Qi Xiu's expression,
He first scooped out about 25 grams of coffee beans with a wooden spoon, and saw that the surface of the beans was chestnut-colored, which were lightly roasted coffee beans.

This kind of roasted coffee can retain a certain floral and fruity aroma and fruity acidity in flavor.

"It's also a petty bourgeoisie who hasn't suffered much."

Zhao Changan cursed inwardly, put the coffee beans into the grinder, turned the handle, and began to grind the coffee beans.

At this time, Qi Xiu didn't have the heart to look at the documents at all, so she simply took out a fashion magazine and looked through it.

Gradually, 'gululu' turned into '唰唰唰', and gradually turned into a sound of 'rustle'.

Zhao Changan swayed from here to now, neither fast nor slow, as stable as an old dog.

The smell of coffee bean powder lingers in the office, with a hint of bitterness in the fragrance.

Zhao Changan continued to grind constantly.

The autumn sun outside the window shone warmly in, and there were countless fine floating dust swimming in the beam of light.

Like a beautiful still clip.

After grinding, Zhao Changan took the electric teapot and went outside to fetch water.

Passing by a few people in the open office stopped everything in their hands and looked at him curiously.

Looking at each other, Zhao Chang'an nodded to him (her) in a friendly manner, and the other party immediately nodded back with a flustered smile.

"This Qixiu is not simple. Ask Song Jing after school to see if she knows something inside."

After receiving the water and returning to the office, Zhao Changan started to boil the water.

He took the coffee pot and two coffee cups and went outside to clean them.

After cleaning, he returned to Qixiu's office, took out a filter paper and put it in the filter cup, put it on top of the coffee pot, took the hot water in the thermos bottle, cleaned the filter paper and the coffee pot, and preheated the coffee pot at the same time .

Pour out the waste water, drain the coffee pot a little, and the water over there will boil.

Zhao Changan carefully poured the coffee powder in the box into the paper filter cup, picked up the teapot, and started brewing in a fancy way.

Immediately, with the slight 'sizzling' sound of the ground coffee touching the hot water, a strong aroma filled the entire office.

But Qi Xiu had put down the magazine in her hand for a long time, and watched Zhao Changan make coffee with great interest.

At this time, smelling the intoxicating aroma, I couldn't help drooling in my mouth. ——It must look delicious!
Zhao Changan poured out enough water, waited until there was no obvious hot water in the paper filter cup, and took a look at Qi Xiu.

I couldn't help but smile slightly in my heart.

Overall, the show was a fair success.

I just don't know how much energy this 'Director Qi' has. If it's too small, I'll be really at a loss for this strenuous performance!

"Grumble~"

The coffee in the coffee pot was poured out, almost two cups full.

This level is much stronger.

"Do you often brew coffee?"

Until now, Qi Xiu only knew that Zhao Changan was called Zhao Changan, she had written a few songs that sounded good, and she had just signed a purchase contract of more than [-] yuan with her best friend Liu Qihua.

The rest are clueless.

At this time, I can't help being curious, and a person who learned such a skill in making coffee at home, his parents are likely to be high-level intellectuals who have been westernized.

Thinking of the song written by Zhao Changan, the identity of at least one of his parents seems to be readily revealed.

Should be a musician, maybe even a professor of music, or a musician!

"My family was poor,"

'It's nothing, many respectable music masters don't like chasing fame and wealth, they are poor and content. '——Qi Xiu.

"Parents are anonymous,"

'It's okay, many respectable music masters don't like chasing fame and wealth, they are low-key and self-satisfied. '——Qi Xiu.

"I am from a mountain city, a very backward mountain area. My father graduated from high school, and my mother did not graduate from junior high school. A few months ago, I was still working as a small worker on the construction site, cooking, and earning 600 yuan a month."

Qi Xiu was a little taken aback. ——What's the situation?

"As for why I grind and brew coffee, it's not because I brew it often, but because I'm the number one science subject in the Central Provincial College Entrance Examination this year."

Here, Zhao Changan told a fib without blushing.

He worked as a grinder and brewer for Li Shiya for at least seven or eight years.

"?"

Qi Xiu was a little dizzy.

Can't tell, this kid is actually the number one in the college entrance examination.

The top scorer in the college entrance examination is indeed very powerful.

But what does this have to do with brewing coffee?
