Chapter 272 You are really looking for trouble for Lao Tzu
Shen Zhoujin directly took out the coffee beans, wrote these two words on the table, and also wrote them in English, and explained to him: "This kind of thing is a drink for foreigners, and its popularity is probably equivalent to our tea. , very very refreshing..."
Emperor Wu Xuan took the coffee beans, looked at them, and nodded.
Shen Zhoujin took out a hand-cranked machine to grind beans, then set up a stove in the corner of the room and brewed a pot of coffee using a combination of traditional and Western methods.
The bitter and bitter smell spread out. Emperor Wu Xuan frowned while approving the memorial: "Why is it smelling like this?"
Shen Zhoujin said: "Original coffee is bitter, and many people can't get used to it, but you can add milk and sugar..."
Little Phoenix was already asleep, but when he smelled the fragrance, he woke up immediately and jumped up and down: "I want it too."
Shen Zhoujin refused: "No, you will make a scene as soon as you drink."
"I haven't had a drink for a long time!" Little Phoenix stopped on her shoulder, rubbing left and right, rubbing it endlessly: "I really want to drink, I really want to drink! I want to drink! Uh-huh-huh..."
Shen Zhoujin said: "Then you ask the emperor, and the emperor agrees."
The little phoenix immediately turned around and flew back, stopping at Emperor Wu Xuan's hand: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I want to drink..."
Emperor Wu Xuan didn't notice anything at all and nodded, "Okay."
He stretched out his finger and touched its head: "Did you often drink it before?"
"I don't drink it often," said Little Phoenix, "I tend to get fat easily, and I get fat as soon as I drink it, so I can't bear to drink it."
Emperor Wu Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth... A bird, easy to get fat?
Shen Zhoujin also twitched the corner of his mouth.
Can't bear to drink?? She has never seen it succeed!
Little Phoenix said: "Jin'er can also pull flowers. You ask Jin'er to help you pull flowers."
Shen Zhoujin: "..."
You're really going to make trouble for me.
But Emperor Wu Xuan was obviously curious: "Latte art?"
Shen Zhoujin could only take out the coffee again, and after the coffee was brewed, he poured a little bit for Emperor Wu Xuan to have a taste. Emperor Wu Xuan only took a sip, and his brows were almost knotted, and then Shen Zhoujin poured another glass, drew a picture of the palace for him, and gave it to him: "Try it with milk and sugar."
I also poured a small cup for Little Phoenix and a cup for myself.
Coffee grows in space. It is bigger and more fragrant. It is different from ordinary coffee beans. It will not harm the body if taken regularly. Shen Zhoujin had forgotten to drink it before, but when he thought about it, he felt very greedy.
Emperor Wu Xuan looked at it carefully, took a bite, frowned slightly and said: "It's sticky."
He obviously didn't like this kind of thing very much, but it was a new thing after all, so he drank it in one sip and said, "It tastes very strange."
Seeing that the two of them were still drinking, especially Little Phoenix, who looked intoxicated, Emperor Wu Xuan said, "The prince's article is quite good."
"Yes, I think so too." Shen Zhoujin said while drinking: "Prince, you have a pair of imperial eyes, but you don't have an emperor's heart."
What he said was still very bold, but it hit the nail on the head.
Shen Zhoujin himself had been an emperor and knew very well what words could impress an emperor.
Emperor Wu Xuan stared at her for a long time, and finally said: "Then when you go to dig a well, take him with you and let him see more. I want to see what he can do!"
Shen Zhoujin put down his cup and saluted: "I obey your order."
Emperor Wu Xuan patted her on the head and went back to review the memorial.
Shen Zhoujin glanced at Little Phoenix, who had already finished her drink, so she quickly finished her drink, packed up her things, and left as fast as she could.
Emperor Wu Xuan didn't pay attention at first, but a quarter of an hour later, the little Phoenix suddenly sang loudly: "My emperor and I cannot be separated for a moment. No matter where I go, a hymn will flow out..."
Emperor Wu Xuan suddenly raised his head: "..."
The little eunuch inside and outside: "..."
Emperor Wu Xuan finally understood why Shen Zhoujin had to ask for his permission before giving Little Phoenix coffee!
He pinched Little Phoenix's mouth and called, "Zi Yi!"
The shadow guard jumped in silently, and Emperor Wu Xuan pointed at the little phoenix: "Take it out to sing."
Shadow Guard said: "Yes."
Then he could only gently pinch the little Phoenix's mouth and leave the palace to find a place. The little Phoenix didn't mind, looked at him and said in an old-fashioned way: "What's your name?"
Shadow Guard said: "Zi Yi."
Little Phoenix then sang loudly: "One shadow guard has one mouth, two eyes and two legs, and jumps into the water with a plop; two shadow guards have two mouths, four eyes, and four legs, and jumps into the water with a plop..."
Ziyi: “…??”
I don't know why, but I feel like I've been scolded.
In the palace, Emperor Wu Xuan continued to review the memorials and was very energetic. After reviewing the memorials, it was not yet time to go to court. He wanted to close his eyes and take a nap, but he couldn't fall asleep at all!!
He immediately thought it was a good thing, and when Little Phoenix came back from singing for a long time, he told Little Phoenix to ask Shen Zhoujin to give some more.
Shen Zhoujin could indeed send some, but after she returned, she realized that she originally wanted to cooperate with Wu Ge on the mailbox matter, but it turned out to be a national matter. Then she Aren't you going to have to work for nothing again?
Then she suddenly became unbalanced, so she asked Little Phoenix to send a message: "Jin'er said that if she wants her to give it away, please ask the emperor to help find a famous person to write a sign for her."
Emperor Wu Xuan raised his eyebrows, knowing that she was about to open a store.
But Emperor Wu Xuan now understood that although he didn't know what Shen Zhoujin had in his hands, she had to make some income at the same time as she made money, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't make money.
How much money can I make by opening a coffee shop? Can I have a fraction of the cost of building the Great Wall?
Emperor Wu Xuan had a clear mind, and instantly put away his search-and-search style, like a generous emperor, and said: "Tell her, I will help her find a place and someone to write a sign, and she will just open the shop! Wait until it opens. , I will also point out those officials in the court and ask them to take care of Jin'er's business!"
Shen Zhoujin received the message: "..."
This emperor is really good at talking, he will not pay for his life if he cheats people!!
However, even though he knew it was a favor, he was still very happy. Shen Zhoujin gave him two boxes each of coffee beans, coffee powder and the prepared three-in-one coffee beans, as well as several hand-cranked coffee grinders.
Emperor Wu Xuan acted quickly and directly called Mr. He over and asked him to write the word "coffee". He even gave a simple introduction, which was basically: "This is a plant that grows in foreign countries, equivalent to our country's tea. Traveling across the ocean to come here has a refreshing effect..." This kind of thing.
Prime Minister He finished writing silently, and then was given a pack of beans and two cans of three-in-one.
In addition to him, the right minister and the cabinet were also given three-in-one gifts. Prime Minister He only had one more pack of beans and a hand-cranked bean grinder than others.
After returning home, He Xiang hesitated for a long time between the bowl and the cup, but chose the bowl, and then poured a few spoonfuls into the bowl like he was drinking sesame paste.
The smell was bitter and the drink was bitter. For the first sip, He Xiang suddenly turned his face away in disgust, his beard was raised, but he thought it was tea from another country after all, so even if he disliked it, he had to understand it clearly before writing anything he disliked.
For a moment?
So I held back and drank slowly.
Coffee should be savored carefully. Even if it is black coffee, you will feel the aroma if you sip it slowly. Not to mention the coffee with milk and sugar. You will feel better after taking two more sips. Anyway, He Xiang drank it all in one go
