Chapter 4 Four
"Your powers of observation are really sharp. 』I stopped laughing first.
"I'm bullshit." She also suppressed a laugh, and continued:
"Actually, when I said you are not from Taipei, you said "How do you know? "It's revealed."
After she finished speaking, she laughed again.
"But it's amazing that you can break it like this." 』
"No way, after staying at the bar for a long time, I will always observe the customers habitually."
She looked at me again: "Is this your first time drinking Irish coffee?"
"How do you know? ’ I’m showing off again.
"When you look at the menu, among the 20 kinds of coffee, pick the third from the bottom."
"So what? 』
"That's the least noticeable position visually."
"Ok.I am indeed a cautious person. 』
I started to imitate her tone, which made her laugh twice.
"I thought you had Irish coffee, but you looked surprised when I added whiskey."
"So..." She elongated the ending and pointed at me, "You haven't had Irish coffee before."
"So it's whiskey." ’ I finally realized it.
"Is my Irish coffee good?"
"Excellent, thank you.real. 』
"Did you know? My favorite coffee is Irish coffee."
"Oh, what a coincidence. 』
"It's even more coincidental. In the three months since I opened the shop, you are the first person to order Irish coffee."
"This shop is yours?Are you the boss? 』
"Yes. Before 12 o'clock in the evening, I invited a work-study student, and after 12 o'clock, I was the only one."
"Then why is Irish coffee not served until after 12 o'clock?" 』
"Because brewing Irish coffee requires full concentration. There are fewer customers after 12 o'clock, so I can concentrate on making it."
"Concentrate? ’ It’s hard for me to imagine that brewing coffee requires full concentration.
In the past, the juniors had ground the beans, added water, and when the power was turned on, they could wait with their legs crossed.
"Yeah. Next time you come, I'll cook it for you."
"Ok. 』
I don't know if there will be a next time. Could it be that I missed the last flight again?
"Thank you for letting me drink such a good coffee. 』
I stood up and looked at my watch, it was time for her to close.
"You're the first customer to order Irish coffee, so I insist."
"This... I'm sorry. 』
"It's okay. You are welcome to come again."
I will take another look at the business card I have been holding in my hand, and prepare to put it in my wallet.
"Yeats" is a very special name, and the owner is indeed a very special girl.
Yeats... Yeats... huh?I couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice:
"Ye Ci!The greatest English poet of the twentieth century, as well as an Irish writer and revolutionist! 』
"Hehe, you finally know."
The portrait of the middle-aged man on the left wall is of course Yeats, and the poems on the right wall should be Yeats' handwriting.
Green is the national color of Ireland, so it's no wonder the store is so green.
The three-lobed green leaves are naturally the green sorrel that symbolizes Ireland.
"I have a soft spot for Ireland, and Yeats is my favorite poet."
She stared at the portrait on the left wall first, then shifted her gaze to the right wall:
"Cast a cold eye. See life, see death. Knight, move forward!"
She seems to be fascinated by the emerald island of Ireland, which is full of green.
I picked up my briefcase, opened the door, and prepared to drive back to Tainan.
"Has the rain stopped?"
"Ok.Should stop. 』
"How do you go back?"
"I will take a taxi to Chengde Road later, and then take the night bus back to Tainan. 』
"You'll sleep well in the car with your Irish coffee."
"I hope so. ’ I waved to her: “Bye-Bye.”
"Bye-Bye.Be careful on the road. 』
As she said, I, who was slightly drunk, fell into a deep sleep as soon as I got in the car.
When I went to work the next day, the aroma and warmth of Irish coffee seemed to remain in the corner of my mouth.
I kind of wonder if this warm feeling comes from that girl too?
So after get off work, I went to a well-known cafe in Tainan to look for Irish coffee.
The atmosphere and music of this cafe reveal a high-end taste, and of course the price is too.
But when the waiter brought the Irish coffee, I was very disappointed.
This is an ordinary ceramic coffee cup!It also comes with a small spoon for stirring.
Even though the carving and patterns on the cup body are very detailed, it looks like a beautiful work of art.
It's still nowhere near the quaint and simple Irish coffee mug.
I took the first sip and it got even worse.
Wine is wine, coffee is coffee, and when mixed together, wine is still wine, and coffee is still coffee.
The wine is too bitter, the coffee is too weak, and the colorful sugar strands floating on the cream also make the taste sweet.
This is not Irish coffee!I shouted in my heart.
This cup of coffee is still not Irish coffee under the packaging of gorgeous vessels and elegant atmosphere.
Forget it, just treat it as ordinary coffee and wine.
is it warmI think the owner of this cafe will feel warm for the money I paid.
After that, I also found several cafes, and the situation was even worse.
No matter how careful I am, I can't find Irish coffee in the Menu.
I suddenly missed Irish coffee and the warmth that girl gave me.
I seem to understand that the value of coffee should come from the coffee itself and the careful attention of the coffee maker,
Not expensive fancy coffee utensils.
