CH 2.4

Chen Jiu didn’t come to work. Su Li took a sit at the bar at night, and when she left, she noticed large characters written on the small board. Recruitment.

So, she had a convulsion and somehow became a member of this music bar.

The next night, Su Li put on light makeup and came to work. Black sweater, jeans, sneakers, like a good girl who is harmless to humans and animals. At 5:30 p.m., Chen Jiu had yet to arrive, and no customers were in the store.

Su Li sat there until 10:30 p.m., when he came.

Su Li tidied up her appearance, stood on the bar’s edge, and took an elegant pose. Waiting for Chen Jiu to greet her, but he not even looked at her.

She tapped on the bar, trying to get his attention. Chen Jiu lowered his head to unpack the newly bought gin but still didn’t lift his head.

Knock, knock

Su Li knocked a few more times.

“Hello. I’m calling you. Can’t see me?”

“Yes.”

Su Li tilted her face to look at him, “I’m a new waiter.” Seeing that he didn’t respond. She adds a sentence again, “And a potential bartender.”

“Potential bartender?”

“Hmm, I will be your assistant in the future, part-time.”

“No, I’m busy.”

“The boss arranged it.”

Chen Jiu did not answer.

“Then help each other in the future?”

“Just don’t make trouble.”

“Don’t worry.” She looked around, “I learned these things in two days.”

Chen Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile.

“Then come on.”  Su Li walked in from the narrow path, stood beside him, and rolled her sleeves, “Let’s get started.”

“Start what?”

“Brew? Make coffee? Just anything, or else, starts flirting? The boss asked you to teach me.”

“You don’t know how?

“No.”

“Do you have the basics?”

“No.”

“Know how to use the coffee machine?”

“Seven or eight kinds.”

“…”

Chen Jiu pinched the center of his brows, “The boss hired you to torture me?”

“Try to make a cup of mocha. First, have a general understanding of the production process. As for frothing milk, you have to practice repeatedly.”

“Oh.”

“Do you understand?”

“Understood.”

“Then practice by yourself.”

“Tomorrow, the boss asked me to bring my own milk.”

“Yes.” Chen Jiu pushed the coffee to her, “Drink it.”

Su Li glanced at him, “Let me drink it?”

Chen Jiu said nothing.

“Is it fine?”

“It’s a waste.”

“Oh.” Su Li picked up the cup, took a sip, leaned her waist against the table, and said with a smile. “By the way, how do you make that kind of love?”

“What’s the hurry? Take it step by step. You first make the milk froth well.”

“You make one first; let me see. I have to see how my master’s skills are.”

Chen Jiu didn’t bother to answer her.

“Make me one. Anyway, you’re not busy.” She blinked, “There’s nothing else to do right now.”

Chen Jiu didn’t want to listen to her nagging, so he used the bean grinder to grind the coffee powder. Held the filter cup and put it on the coffee machine, pressed it down, and the thick liquid flowed into the cup.

“Bring the milk here.”

“Where is it?”

“The cabinet on the lower right side.”

Su Li walked over, bent down, took out the Nestle milk bag, and handed it to him.

Chen Jiu poured the milk into the tumbler and put it under the milk frother, “Come here.”

“Huh?”

“Come and see how to froth milk.”

Su Li come over.

Chen Jiu stood aside, “I asked you to come here, but I didn’t ask you to stick to me.”

“Oh.”

“Look at it, and then listen to the sound.”

Zhizhizhi–

“Forget it. You have to feel it yourself” After Chen Jiu frothed the milk, it was ready to make a latte, “Look at it.”

Holding the coffee cup with one hand, he poured the foamed milk into the coffee while shaking the other hand and pulled out a white love heart.

“It’s quite simple. I’ve already learned it.”

“It looks simple. But when you pour it, you can’t break it from the beginning to the end, and you have to control the flow rate. You have to practice for at least a week, and this is the simplest pattern.”

“Alright.”

“Drink it.”

“I can’t drink anymore.”

Chen Jiu looked down at her complacently, “It’s a waste to throw it.”

Su Li put down the unfinished coffee in her hand. Picking up the cup of love. “Thank you for your heart.”

Seeing his speechless expression, Su Li added, “Then, thank you for your love?”
