coffee love

Shu whispered, "Today happens to be Monday, and there are no guests, why don't we go out and have fun together?"

Hua Yunche opened the newspaper, "The swimming pool in XX theme park is open."

"It's hot, let's go swimming."

"..." Xue Mingsui said, "Okay."

The three headed to the amusement park together.All kinds of mobile games and snacks are in front of you, which makes young people feel very excited.Hua Yunche likes to go to the amusement park the most. After a while, he dragged the two of them and pointed to the roller coaster in the distance, "Let's go ride the roller coaster!"

"No." The two said in unison, "I don't like excitement."

"Okay," Hua Yunche was disappointed, "I'll go by myself."

……

Xue Mingsui led Shu Qiao forward.Shu whispered, "What do you want to play?"

Xue Mingsui looked around, and suddenly looked straight ahead, "Let's go and sit on the rotating teacup."

Shu quietly took a look: "..."

Countless lolita coffee cups are placed inside.Pink blue, yellow purple, all are kawaii candy colors without exception.There are few people on Monday and the line is not long.Xue Mingsui took his hand and quickly squeezed into the team, and the crowd in twos and threes was quickly put into the game area.Xue Mingsui picked out a pink-blue coffee cup, and the two of them sat in it together. Suddenly, they felt as if they were being soaked in a cup of warm coffee, and an inexplicable girlish atmosphere came over them.

Shu Qiao felt that her face was a little hot, but she saw Xue Mingsui looked fine, "..."

The cup started to spin.Xue Mingsui turned the steering wheel, and the cup was turned faster and faster.Shu Qiao was dizzy for a while, lying on the rim of the cup and complaining, "I'm so dizzy..."

"Don't look outside." Xue Mingsui pulled him down, "Come and turn the steering wheel."

"It's not all because you turn so fast, and you will faint when you go out later."

"It's okay, I'll help you out."

The dazed people staggered out of their coffee cups.Xue Mingsui carried the dizzy Shu Qiao out, Shu Qiao muttered that it was so hot, what kind of teacup spinner did she play on a hot day, the wind blowing over her turned into a heat wave.

Xue Mingsui immediately took him to the swimming pool, and he immediately calmed down.

The swimming pool is the best place to go in summer.No matter how hot the body is clamoring, after diving into the pool with a plop, all the sweltering heat can be evaporated in an instant.But Xue Mingsui soon discovered something was wrong - when they arrived at the swimming pool, they would be in the same room to change clothes.

Shu Qiao took off her clothes on her own, and put on swimming trunks.

Xue Mingsui shuddered, suddenly recalling the day when he saw him in uniform.His slender waist, straight hips, smooth back... He changed his clothes unconsciously.The movements were crisp and quick, and the body of the **** was displayed in front of his eyes, which made him unprepared.Imagining that wrapped in swimming trunks... Xue Mingxuan's head felt hot.

"Xue Mingsui, I've changed it..." He turned around and bumped into Xue Mingsui's chest suddenly.

Shu Qiao was surprised to find Xue Mingsui's strange gaze on him.Complicated and connotative, mixed with a bit of malice, like a wolf thinking about how to tear apart its prey.

Shu Qiao probed, "Xue Mingsui..."

Xue Mingsui surrounded Shu Qiao in front of the closet, forcing him to retreat, Shu Qiao frowned, Xue Mingsui looked at him, and couldn't help but move his lips closer...

wait!Shu Qiao pushed him back in surprise.

Suddenly, there were slight footsteps and small chatter at the door!

Shu Qiao immediately pushed him away forcefully.

boom!

The door of the locker room was pushed open, and two well-dressed men walked in.The voice of one of them was particularly cheerful and frivolous: "Swimming is really the best in summer! Don't you think so, Xiaoqi?"

"Yes, Mr. An."

An Qianjing walked over to him.

Xue Mingsui looked at him, and suddenly felt that his reason was clear for a while, and his vision became extraordinarily clear because of the people who walked in.

An Qianjing walked for a while before she froze.For a moment, the four eyes met, and the familiar face magnified in front of them.

"..."

"..."

"Yo, isn't this Xue Mingsui and Shu Qiao? What a coincidence." An Qianjing resumed her lazy demeanor, and began to sarcasm without hesitation, "Long time no see, I didn't expect that we would finally meet. As the saying goes It's not that enemies don't get together?"

"Well, the weather is hot, and we also went out to swim." Shu Qiao said calmly, but Xue Mingsui still heard that he was deliberately lowering his voice.There was tension in his tone.

"Hmph," An Qianjing walked to the closet, "Stop putting on airs there, who doesn't know the purpose of your visit today?"

Xue Mingsui: "Purpose? What purpose?"

"..."

"Mr. An, have we exposed something?"

Xue Mingsui looked directly at him, spread his hands and smiled, "What purpose do you have, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, we are just here to relax."

An Qianjing's face turned red and then pale, "We are also here to relax, what are you doubting!"

"Obviously you were the one who provoked first, didn't you? The words are so connotative that the Kitchen God must be included among the door gods."

"……you……"

An Qianjing choked, and stuffed the changed clothes into the closet, "I hope you don't drown in the swimming pool! Xiaoqi, let's go."

The two left behind their backs, then turned a corner and entered the swimming pool.

"Please explain," Shu Qiao looked at him, "Why just now?"

Xue Mingsui suddenly didn't know how to explain.

Searching for the answer in my heart, finally the male impulse became the only explanation.

Hua Yunche once said to herself, don't escape from your own heart. Did the facts prove that the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear?

Xue Mingsui sighed in his heart, and blurted out all the text in his stomach, "I..."

"you like me?"

Xue Mingsui was shocked.

"Yes or no?"

"Yes." Xue Mingsui said bravely, "I like you."

Now it was Shu Qi's turn to stop talking.The delicate face was dyed with a touch of red, which looked very attractive.Xue Mingsui blurted out accidentally, "I like your appearance when you make coffee, and your expression when you are serious. Especially when you are in uniform, it is very attractive, just like your expression now, I want to do it as soon as I see it .you."

"What are you talking about..." Shu Qiao blushed, "Shut up!"

"So, please give me—"

boom!

The locker room door was pushed open heavily.

"..."

"I knew you were here," Hua Yunche ran in excitedly, "The roller coaster is so fun, I also went to play other sports, jumping off the building, pirate ship, rapids... eh? What's wrong with you?"

"……nothing."

In the swimming pool, Xue Mingsui swung his arms, splashing water everywhere.

After swimming back and forth again, Shu Qiao still stayed in place, dazed.The surface of the water was just below his mouth, and he was spitting bubbles, like a fish in the water spitting bubbles, making people dumbfounded.

Xue Mingsui swam over and asked him why he didn't swim, Shu Qiao just stared at him blankly, saying that he didn't want to move, Xue Mingsui stretched his arms far away helplessly.

Suddenly a bubble appeared in front of him.

The water was stirred up with a splash, "Hey, store manager."

Xue Mingsui's legs trembled, and he almost choked on a mouthful of water, "Don't be scary, Yun Che."

"Okay," Hua Yunche lifted up the goggles, "don't talk about that. Guess what I just found on the roller coaster?"

"what?"

"There's an impromptu coffee competition over there."

Coffee competition?

Xue Mingsui said, "So interesting?"

"That's it, and it's still a two-person competition system. It will start this afternoon." Hua Yunche said, "How is it? Interested?"

Xue Mingsui quickly pulled Hua Yunche aside.

As soon as he told Hua Yunche about meeting An Qianjing, he exclaimed, "Okay, buddy, you can meet in this kind of place."

"I reckon he thought we were here to participate in the competition." Xue Mingsui said, "Since we're all here, why don't we beat him to death?"

"You really are still so wicked."

"Who's having fun?"

"Then why do you want to participate?"

Xue Mingsui thought for a while and said, "Actually, I have an idea. If Shu Qiao is allowed to participate and win the competition, he may regain his confidence in making coffee and return to WSC. What do you think?"

Hua Yunche questioned, "Do you think this is useful?"

"How do you know if you don't try?"

"Okay," Hua Yunche swam away again, "No matter what the outcome of your actions will be, anyway, I'm going to be the old man for you."

In the afternoon, the two dragged Shu Qiao to the direction of the roller coaster.Hua Yunche encouraged Shu Qiao straight away, saying that she wanted to invite him to do something good.

Shu Qiao gave Xue Mingsui a sharp look, "What do you want?"

"There is an impromptu coffee competition in the afternoon, and I want to drag you to sign up together."

"No," Shu whispered, "You know I've quit the circle now."

Xue Mingsui: "Don't you want to regain the glory of the past?"

"Not at all."

"Don't want to rediscover the fun of making coffee?"

"No matter how much fun it is, it has become a chronic disease. I don't want to recycle it like garbage."

"Because it is a chronic illness, you need to face it bravely."

"Xue Mingsui, do you think you know me well?"

The conversation between the two was about to spark a war, Hua Yunche quickly acted as a peacemaker, "Let's try, Shu Qiao. It's a good thing to win, and it's not a bad thing to lose, anyway, you can't afford to lose." ,right?"

"..." Xue Mingsui began to suspect that Hua Yunche was lighting the fire on purpose.

"Okay." Shu whispered.

"Go." Xue Mingsui grabbed his hand and walked forward.

Xue Mingsui signed up and met An Qianjing immediately.When An Qianjing saw them, she became furious and scolded them for pretending to be crazy, but she knew better than anyone else.

Xue Mingsui spread his hands, "I can't help you if you think so."

An Qianjing pointed at them, "This time we will definitely avenge our shame and revenge!"

"Shouldn't it be declining again, exhausting three times, and losing every battle?"

"Xue Mingsui, you villain is despicable and shameless!"

"Are you ready to go on stage?" Shu Qiao remained expressionless, "Mr. An, we will definitely defeat you again."

"I hope so. Shu Qiao, don't forget how you were defeated by a despicable villain back then."

Take a break.

"I don't need you to remind me."

The competition is about to begin, and the contestants are all on the stage one after another.Each person wears a numbered brooch on their chest, and they work in groups of two.They came to their assigned table, where they were provided with the same utensils and ingredients.A large number of onlookers gathered under the stage, some didn't know the truth, and some came here because of the reputation, chattering and chattering, creating chaos.

The host grabbed the microphone and shook his head rattle, and started his opening remarks.His voice was loud, excited as if he had taken medicine, and the magic sound penetrated every corner of the room.

Xue Mingsui and An Qianjing continued to shoot at each other from the corner of their eyes, as if they wanted to kill each other with their eyes.

Shu Qiao started to study the materials on the table.

There is a grinder and several extractors on the table.The extraction agent is drip filter type, siphon type, and Italian type.Coffee beans are free to choose, and there are other utensils; like ingredients, there are alcohol, syrup, milk and fruit... etc., are common ingredients, and there is nothing special, except for a small bowl of fresh chestnuts .

It's hard to guess what kind of questions will be given.

Shu Qiao tugged at the corner of Xue Mingsui's clothes, "Xue Mingsui."

"Huh?" Xue Mingsui turned his head.

"I just looked at the ingredients on the table, there is nothing special, maybe the topic has something to do with the mint leaves."

"As expected, you still care about this competition." Xue Mingsui laughed, "But, why mint leaves?"

"If you participate, you have to take it seriously. As for the mint leaves, I'm just guessing."

Because mint leaves are most commonly used in the application of fancy coffee, it is a good helper for fancy coffee.The chestnuts are only used to confuse the contestants.

"Really?" Xue Mingsui leaned closer to his ear, "Also, what I told you in the locker room just now... Promise me, how about it?"

Shu Qiao raised her eyes slightly.

"There are still people watching from the audience. Let's talk about this issue later... shall we?"

Xue Mingsui smiled.

"Next, let me announce the title of this competition," the host finally finished his hype speech, "Please make a creative coffee with mint as the main taste, and the time is one and a half hours!"

With an order, the game finally started.Each group began to copy pots and look for shovels. The sound of porcelain, tiles, and ironware was banging, and the sound of various machine operations was endless. It seemed that they were deliberately making noise to increase pressure on their opponents, and merged with the noise of the audience to form an alternative symphony. ——Jumping up and down on and off the stage, singing gongs and drums in and out of the play.An Qianjing seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and Xiao Qi calmly selected beans, roasted them, and ground them.

Shu Qiao rolled her eyes, and calmly talked about his thoughts with Xue Mingsui.An Qianjing is familiar with their own characteristics, so they want to break through An Qianjing's law of thinking and make wonderful fancy coffee that An Qianjing can't think of.

In the end they decided to make a cup of "afternoon", which seems to have been prepared by Shu Qi for the competition.This coffee did not appear in the WSC back then, and he has been buried in his heart as a weapon to defeat other players at critical moments.

Xue Mingsui will make the coffee, froth the milk and make the chocolate sauce.And Shu Qi began to refine the syrup.There are green lemons among the fruits provided, so let the green lemons be mixed with mint leaves and white sugar, crushed, boiled, and filtered to make a punchy mint syrup.

After the refining was completed, Xue Mingsui's coffee was almost finished.Shu Qiao took out the mint syrup for him to mix with the coffee.When Xue Mingsui smelled it, he couldn't help sighing, what a strong mint scent.

The time was approaching one and a half hours, and many contestants had already handed over their finished products to the judges, but without exception, they all got a score starting with 7 or 8, which witnessed the strictness and pickiness of the judges.An Qianjing also handed over the finished product. His coffee is called "Peppermint Chestnut". Smoothie, then mix with coffee.Honey and milk are also added to the coffee drink, which has a rich and refreshing taste and a mint aroma.More importantly, An Qianjing showed his unique skill as always - making coffee with beautiful visual effects.In the transparent glass, smoothies and coffee blend into a mysterious underwater world. The surface of the sea is decorated with chestnuts and latte milk foam. There are also two large mint leaves and a colorful straw. At first glance, it looks like a beautiful glass The ultimate Hawaiian freezing point!An Qianjing's final score was 89 points.

Xue Mingsui also completed the final fusion.

"No wonder you have to refine the syrup," Xue Mingxuan said, "The strong and refreshing aroma of mint syrup collides with the strong bitterness of my espresso, it must be very wonderful."

Hand the finished product to the jury.

The five judges tasted their respective coffees, and after a long time of recollection, the judges said, "The syrup extracted from mint leaves, combined with espresso, really completes the strong impact on the taste."

The middle-aged old man in the middle admitted, "The production of espresso is relatively skilled, and the taste is pure."

The young female judge praised without hesitation, "Not only that, the addition of chocolate also makes the taste more smooth. It is like a leisurely afternoon. Although it does not have the visual impact of 'mint chestnut', it has a solid foundation!"

The onlookers sighed, and the judges finally wrote down the scores. 92, 88, 84, 90, 93, remove the highest score, remove the lowest score, and the overall score is 90 points.

"The final score of 17 groups is 90 points!" The host shouted, and some people applauded under the stage.

Immediately, a contestant yelled, "Not convinced!"

"What's your problem?"

"I'm not convinced," An Qianjing said, "Why can't our 'Peppermint Chestnut' win?"

The middle-aged old man in the middle of the jury stood up and laughed twice: "Your 'Mint Chestnut' is certainly good, but for the title, it is mixed with other mixtures, so it is not the best coffee!"

"The competition is over!" the host shouted, "The winning work, contestant No. 17's 'afternoon'!"

The audience was amazed.

"We won," Xue Mingsui turned to look at Shu Qiao, but was surprised to find a rare expression on his face - that was a smile he had never seen before.

Bright eyes stare proudly in the sun, unable to hide the happy note.

Xue Mingsui took his hand, "Come on, step down to accept the award."

"Okay." Shu quietly smiled.
