Chapter 304 How many mountains do you have to climb from the ends of the earth to Shengge's hom
After successfully getting the 20% off coupon, the next step is to choose the right coffee beans.
Generally speaking, medium-dark or dark roasted beans are used to make lattes. The reason is that these two roasted degrees of coffee beans will not be covered by milk or other flavors like medium and light roasted beans.
The individual flavors of sea salt and coconut water are both very distinct, and when combined with milk, these three ingredients add to the coffee, making it clear that a medium-dark roast is not enough. Although Fushan Coffee doesn't offer a sea salt and coconut latte, Mr. Xiao recommends using dark roasted coffee beans.
Moreover, their dark roasted coffee beans will not have a sour aftertaste, and will not add other more complex flavors to the already rich sea salt coconut latte. Instead, the dark roasted charcoal aroma and sea salt are more compatible.
"Well, we probably can't set up the stall as soon as we get up that day, and with the speed of Sheng Ge and Yu Shao, newbies, we probably won't be able to do it quickly. Let's calculate the amount based on 50 cups. A cup of latte requires at least 18g of coffee bean extract concentrate, so 50 cups is 900g, or a conservative estimate of 1000g. A bag of coffee beans here is 227g, so buying 5 bags should be enough, right?"
Su Xing quickly calculated how many bags of coffee beans they needed to prepare. Others would definitely feel at ease leaving this matter to him, so they nodded without thinking and bought according to this quantity.
Fushan coffee is known for its reasonable prices; even the best beans cost less than a hundred yuan per bag. The dark roasted beans we chose weren't the most expensive; with a discount, five bags only cost 5 yuan. Wang Zhengliang, who had expected to spend upwards of five yuan, was incredibly happy to part with the money.
Yu Yu watched as the coffee beans were purchased. Both parties happily shook hands to express their happy transaction. Others had not yet realized that anything was missing. He thought about it and suddenly turned on the handsome, sweet-talking socialite mode. His deep blue eyes were filled with a gentle smile as he looked at Teacher Xiao seriously.
"Sister Xiao, listening to your introduction along the way, I feel that you are really thoughtful and professional. I wonder if you can recommend a coffee machine for us? I just savored the taste of these four pots of coffee, and they all taste very delicate. I wonder what coffee machine you use?"
Hiss, that's right, you can't make latte even if you have coffee beans but no coffee machine. Su Xing realized it and slapped his thigh. Latte is not like hand-brewed American coffee, which only requires hands and a filter paper cup. Latte requires a coffee machine to extract the coffee liquid.
So he immediately went online to cooperate with Yu Yu. When Teacher Xiao replied that the coffee was all poured over and no coffee machine was used, he pretended to be surprised and said, "That pour-over teacher is definitely a professional. I think his coffee tastes even better than the one made by machine."
"Actually, anyone can achieve this level once they become proficient," said Teacher Xiao modestly. "If you're making a latte, you can also do a pour-over, but it's best to use a coffee machine. The flavor will be greatly reduced by pouring it over."
"So our sea salt and raw coconut latte also needs to use a coffee machine? Sister Xiao, what kind of coffee machine do you think is better?" Yu Yu asked like a well-behaved, studious and inquisitive student.
"If you only make one, a basic coffee machine that can extract coffee liquid will do." Teacher Xiao said, "We also have a basic coffee machine here, in the tea room. Can I take you over to have a look?"
"Then I'll have to trouble Sister Xiao." Yu Yu said with a smile.
Teacher Xiao took them to the tea room to look at the coffee machine. He found that this basic coffee machine was not big and would fit perfectly in the trunk of the car without taking up too much space. So Yu Yu and Su Xing exchanged glances. This time, Su Xing asked:
"Sister, let me ask again, is it convenient to buy a coffee machine like this offline? Do you know where to buy it? I'm afraid it's not convenient to buy online on our road trip."
He retreated to advance, and Yu Yu took a step forward. "Or, sister, do we have any channels for purchasing or leasing within our company? If we have any unused ones, then we can still cooperate, right?"
Teacher Xiao had worked for so many years and knew what they meant. She also said that although they were not a manufacturer of coffee machines, a basic coffee machine was not expensive, and they could sponsor the brothers a coffee machine from a cooperative partner, as long as the brothers who went to the coffee shop to study could graduate successfully.
"Then Brother Sheng and I will live up to Sister Xiao's expectations. We both promise to promote our Fushan brand coffee. Especially our Chen Sheng, who has the BUFF of being a local. I will feel embarrassed for him if he doesn't do well." Yu Yu immediately patted his chest and promised to increase the intensity for Chen Chen Sheng.
"I'll try my best." It was obvious that the kid was being naughty again, but now there were outsiders around, so Chen Fusheng didn't say anything like he did when they were together in private. However, once he said he wanted to do something well, he would definitely do it well with his personality, so Yu Yu's plan of slacking off at the side was just around the corner.
There is a saying on the Internet that goes, "Younger people are too presumptuous because they are spoiled by their elders." So Yu Yu thinks that he is a little naughty and likes to slack off, which must be related to the three people, Hai Shang Hua. Usually, he is a very serious person.
Oliver & Li Mu: At the very least, people should not have such a big misunderstanding of themselves. The most important thing for people is to know themselves, don’t you understand?
The brothers were very efficient. They bought coffee beans at a low price within two hours, and with the cooperation of Yu Yu and Su Xing, they got a coffee machine for free. This forced Zhao Hao, who was planning to cheat them by providing them with a coffee machine, to find another way.
Do you really think that having a coffee machine is all you need? Naive! You need a lot of other things to set up a stall.
Today's driver is Wang Zhengliang. After he sent Chen Fusheng and Yu Yu to the coffee shop, the coffee learning group and the coconut buying group went their separate ways. He took the remaining four people to buy coconuts, and after they finished buying them, he came back to pick them up and headed directly to Danzhou in the afternoon.
After temporarily bidding farewell to his five brothers, Yu Yu and his eldest brother sat in the production crew's car, waiting for the production crew to set up the camera in the coffee shop.
Chen Fusheng said that he had never found a teacher to learn how to make coffee before. He just studied it casually when he was free at home. Compared with coffee, he is more familiar with making tea. He experienced their tea culture when he went to Suzhou and Hangzhou a long time ago. At that time, he followed a master to ask for advice several times.
But whether it is making tea or brewing coffee, the nature is actually the same. He likes this kind of atmosphere that can slowly calm people down, and he is also good at doing this kind of things that require calmness and carefulness to do well.
"I thought this was a hobby you developed on the farm. For example, your father and mother also like to drink tea, so you were influenced by them," said Yu Yu.
"They drink it, too, but they're not that particular about it. When we were on the farm, life was busy and tedious. During the busy farming season, we'd basically be out all day." Speaking of those days, Chen Fusheng gazed into the distance, his eyes filled with a touch of nostalgia. "I've been doing handicrafts since I was a kid, but tasting tea is a habit I developed slowly after I left the farm."
"So the two mountains you wanted to climb when you went to the End of the Earth were all planted with tea?" Yu Yu joked.
"Well, one mountain is a tea mountain and the other is a coffee bean mountain." Chen Fusheng nodded and smiled after he finished speaking.
Yu Yu suddenly had an idea: "Why don't we just hike over those two mountains when we go from Sanya to Licai Farm for the thank-you concert?"
For Cyrus, who had conquered Mount Everest, climbing the two hills on the South China Sea islands was definitely no problem. But for the other old Beibeis, except for Wang Yuexin, it was a life-threatening pace. Even Chen Fusheng, a local who came from Licai Farm, did not think he could climb it.
"You'd better not let Zhao Hao hear this," he said. "If he hears, he might come up with some bad ideas again."
Before Yu Yu could say anything, someone suddenly appeared outside the car door. "What did I hear that would give me such bad ideas? I noticed that you two are always doing crickets on my back when I'm not paying attention?"
Zhao Hao felt that these two people, one always said he wanted to beat him up, and the other was cunning, naughty and bad, so if they got together, there would definitely be no good.
"Haohao, you are a typical example of someone who thinks everyone else is bad because you are bad yourself. You are too suspicious." Yu Yu shook his head.
"Why are you so dark-minded?" Chen Fusheng also teased him.
Zhao Hao, who was bitten back, rolled his eyes and didn't want to dwell on it any longer in case these two irritating artist teachers said something to upset him again, so he signaled them to start recording the next segment and let them "work" well.
There were not many customers in the coffee shop, and the shop was large enough that even if there were other customers watching, the two people studying in a bar area that was set aside for teaching would not disturb the normal business of the coffee shop.
Due to the confidentiality of the recording phase of the unbroadcast variety show, the customers who stayed in the store were informed and understood that they could not use their mobile phones to record the show. They could only crane their necks to look at Yu Yu and Chen Fusheng, who were wearing aprons not far away.
Latte itself is not difficult to make, and the two do not need to learn any latte art. Even if you are a complete novice, if you know how to use the coffee machine and the ratio of the ingredients, you can make a decent latte.
The barista who guided them looked young, but he was actually the store manager. He had trained many interns, so he was very familiar with teaching skills, had strong technical skills, and was also humorous enough, which gave the two brothers enough emotional value.
After learning that he needed to teach them how to make sea salt and raw coconut latte, he looked up information and worked out the ratio before Yu Yu and Chen Fusheng arrived, so that he could start practicing when they arrived.
Soon, Yu Yu, who had a certain foundation, learned how to make latte. Then he turned into Chen Rusheng's brainless flatterer, using sweet words and fancy compliments one after another, coaxing Chen Rusheng, who had just made a cup of sea salt and raw coconut latte, into a coffee master. His emotional value was even greater than that given by the mentor. After a lot of flattery, Chen Rusheng inexplicably became a professional barista, and he was just an assistant who helped him pass the cups.
Chen Fusheng finally realized it: "You did it on purpose. You are so sweet-mouthed that you don't say a single word of truth. You just want to be lazy when the time comes."
"How could that be? I swear to God, I just think that Brother Sheng's cooking is better than mine and I have absolutely no other intentions. If there is any, then let me eat a mix of meat and vegetables for the rest of my life and add a zero to the last digit of my savings." Yu Yu raised his hand pretentiously.
Chen Fusheng was speechless after being taken advantage of by Yu Yu. He even added a zero. With your savings, how many hundreds of millions would it take to add a zero?
He was holding the fallen and unusable ice cube in his hand, and without saying a word, he was about to stuff it into Yu Yu's neck.
"Rescue... It's over. His "pillar" Lu Hu and "protective cub" Xiao Liang are both gone, so it's decided to be you, Zhao Hao! Yu Yu said it in a flash and directly grabbed Zhao Hao's clothes and swung the tall and thin man in front of him.
Zhao Hao:? I told you two that nothing good would happen if you two were together!
