Tokyo Police

"Welcome! Ah... Mr. Lin hasn't been to Sakura no Sato for a long time, why didn't he come with Akimi-chan?"

"Uh... She has work to do and can't get away from it, by the way... Is the lady boss there?"

"Hey, the manager is still roasting coffee in the basement, let me tell her!"

"Uh... No, I can sit there and wait for her! Just give me the same cup as usual!"

...

When the clerk in the store who was familiar with Lin Xiuyi saw his figure, he greeted him enthusiastically. During this time, the matter between Lin Xiuyi and Mingmei was very noisy, which made a lot of people know about their affairs. Even Sakurako's subordinates know that the policeman who always comes here to look for the boss's wife on weekdays is actually the lover of the famous star Ennoji Akemi.

When a cup of Espresso was brought to Lin Xiuyi, he first thanked him, and then sat quietly in the corner sipping coffee. Although today is not a holiday, and it is not the peak time of the coffee shop's business, there are still a lot of customers sitting in the shop at this time, and many of them are faces that can often be seen on TV. It is the most well-known tea shop in the vicinity of the Japan Broadcasting Association.

Perhaps because he hadn't been to Sakura no Sato for a long time, Lin Xiuyi soon discovered that the layout of the store had undergone an almost earth-shaking change. Not only are there some shelves selling goods in the store next to the coffee bar, but there are also posters that have not been seen before on the walls around the store. One of the posters shows a man in traditional African clothing. The woman was holding a basket of harvested coffee beans with joy, and behind him was a little girl with the same dark complexion. The daughter's face was full of the same hearty smile as her mother...

"What are you... looking at?"

Suddenly hearing a gentle voice in his ear, Lin Xiu turned around quickly, but saw that Yingzi came behind him at some point. Seeing Yingzi's appearance, Lin Xiu quickly stood up from his seat and greeted her:

"Ah, long time no see. I just heard from the clerk in the store that you are busy baking in the basement. I won't... disturb you!"

"Where, you can come to my shop, I'm too happy! By the way, why didn't I see Mingmei..."

"Uh... She went to the office today. It is said that the broker picked up another CM for her. She wants to discuss the shooting soon..."

"Oh... so that's the case. Speaking of which, I've been busy going to Seoul for the competition recently, and I haven't had time to congratulate you in person!"

Perhaps it was because she came out in a hurry. At this time, Sakurako was still wearing an apron with the words Sakura no Sato on her body. Seeing that her clothes were really inappropriate, Sakurako quickly took off her apron and then folded it and put it aside. After finishing everything, Yingzi sat opposite Lin Xiuyi, and then smiled at him a little embarrassedly.

"By the way, I haven't been here for a long time. I didn't expect the layout and decoration of the store to be different!"

"Hey...Hi, it's all your friends who helped me in the study meeting. Mr. Kirihara helped us set up a coffee lover's club in Sakura no Sato. There are many old customers who have been very supportive of Sakura no Sato to participate. Now everyone On weekends, I sometimes come here to experience the fun of roasting coffee. Occasionally, everyone will go to Sakura no Sato to visit the ecological plantation in Maruyama Village. In short, life is much more fulfilling now than in the past. By the way... It just so happens that I have a few new cups of coffee that I want to hear from you, all of which are new ideas I just came up with recently, you… do you want to try it!”

...

Hearing Yingzi's invitation, Lin Xiu immediately became interested. After he drank all the Espresso in the cup, he stood up and hated Yingzi and came near the bar, and then sat outside the bar. .

"Then, Lord Examiner, are you ready now?"

"Hey, but I've just had an espresso, so can I start with milk coffee?"

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

After Sakurako finished speaking, she picked up the apron she folded just now and put it on again. Immediately afterwards, Sakurako first took out some special coffee beans from a bag under the counter, and then used an old-fashioned espresso grinder to grind the beans into powder.

Just when Lin Xiuyi was about to start crushing the coffee because he received Yingko, Sakurako poured the coffee powder back into the grinder again, and then ground it again.

"This is……"

"Secondary grinding increases the contact surface of the coffee powder with the hot water, so that more active ingredients can be extracted from the coffee. I tried it, and I used 20 grams of coffee powder to extract about 43 grams of coffee. Liquid is the best choice for taste. As for milk, I choose 3.7 milk from Hokkaido, and heating the milk to 50 degrees Celsius can maximize the sweetness of the milk. Then adjust the mixing ratio, the ratio of milk and coffee It's about 4:1, so..."

When Sakurako unreservedly told her colleague the secret of making milk coffee, a cup of fragrant coffee was also placed in front of Lin Xiuyi. When Lin Xiuyi took the coffee and saw the heart-shaped palm pattern hanging on the surface of the coffee, he immediately fell in love with Yingzi's ingenious drawing technique~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and Yingzi was careful After looking at Lin Xiuyi's reaction, he lowered his head and silently waited for Lin Xiuyi's evaluation.

"Oh... this is really a cup of sweet milk coffee! And... there is a faint smell of ripe pomegranate in it, this..."

"It is another coffee bean different from Geisha in the forest. Because the roasted flavor is not suitable for making Espresso, I use it as a magic weapon for making milk coffee. In addition, Hokkaido 3.7 milk is rich in milk. Creamy, so there's a stronger texture on the consistency, and...I've found that for most people...the sweetness of the milk is what makes a good milk coffee...so..."

"So you found the optimum temperature of 50 degrees Celsius right? That's amazing..."

"There... After all, this time I compete with the best baristas in the world, and the only thing I can rely on is the coffee beans from Ethiopia! By the way, Mr. Lin... When the time comes, you... ...He Mingmei-chan, will you accompany me to Seoul to participate in this competition?"

"Us? Rest assured, as a loyal supporter of Sakura no Sato, I will definitely not miss this event."
