Chapter 10 Coffee

Uncle Jiu was very satisfied with Xu Ce's rescue. Otherwise, Wen Cai's mindless mouth might have ruined the business.

Uncle Jiu nodded and said:

"Mr. Ren, well, if this is not the case, then we will break ground and raise the coffin in three days."

"Then what should we prepare?"

Master Ren asked sternly, breaking ground and raising the coffin is the biggest thing for the Ren family at the moment.

People in this era are very superstitious. In fact, their superstition is well-founded. After all, there are zombies and ghosts.

"Well, there's nothing special that needs to be prepared separately. Just find some strong men to come when the time comes. It's best if they are all young men under the age of 28."

"Okay, no problem."

At this time, a waiter came next to him and whispered in Master Ren's ear:

"Master Ren, Huang Baiwan is here, he is over there."

Master Ren looked in the direction the waiter was pointing and said apologetically:

"Uncle Jiu, I'm sorry, I have a friend here. I went over to say hello."

"It's okay, Mr. Ren, you are busy first."

"Well, bring me some egg tarts.

Uncle Jiu, feel free to eat whatever you want, don’t be polite to me."

"Master Ren, you are being polite."

The two of them were polite, and Master Ren got up and walked towards the other side.

And egg tarts!

Xu Ce hadn't eaten it for a long time, and he didn't expect to be treated like this after traveling through time.

In this day and age, eggs should be all free-range eggs. They are rich in nutrients, so eat more of them.

As soon as Mr. Ren left, a waiter brought a tray. Xu Ce smelled the pure aroma of coffee on the tip of his nose, and his eyes lit up.

This aroma is absolutely made from 100% imported coffee beans, and the barista is also very good. He brewed it at just the right temperature and basically brought out the proper aroma of the coffee beans.

Xu Ce suddenly felt that this era was actually not bad except for the absence of later generations of Internet and abundant entertainment activities.

At least, when it comes to diet, you definitely don’t have to worry about pesticides.

Moreover, although entertainment activities are monotonous, if you have a wife, it is actually not bad to make little ones every two or three days.

The point is, polygamy is allowed.

Then, Xu Ce looked at Ren Tingting again. If the subsequent check-in tasks were related to the Ren family, with his level of flirting, there would be no problem in winning.

Suddenly, Xu Ce felt someone tugging at his clothes. When he turned his head, he saw Wen Cai winking at him.

Xu Ce suddenly realized that Wencai and Uncle Jiu didn't know how to drink coffee, so they wanted him to demonstrate.

At this time, the waiter had already placed a small cup of black coffee and a cup of white milk in front of them.

"Senior Brother, between the black cup and the white cup, which one should we drink first?"

Wencai asked in a low voice.

Xu Ce smiled, picked up the black coffee, fanned the hot air from the cup toward his nose, and sniffed with enjoyment.

"It smells great, Miss Ren. Your coffee is good, and the barista's skills are also good."

While speaking, Xu Ce gave Ren Tingting a thumbs up.

Ren Tingting looked at Xu Ce with some surprise. In her impression, although Renjia Town was considered a developed town in China, most of the people were country bumpkins, and Xu Ce's clothes did not look like he had any experience studying abroad.

People, she asked with some disbelief:

"You know coffee?"

Xu Ce nodded,

"I know a little bit about it."

Immediately, Xu Ce placed the coffee on the dining table, poured some milk into it, added a grain of rock sugar, and said lightly:

“Coffee itself tastes bitter, but with the addition of milk, it can make the coffee smoother.

Some people like to drink bitter coffee without sugar, but I prefer bitter coffee with a little sweetness.

This is just like life, there is sweetness in the bitterness, joy in the bitterness, and finally the bitterness comes out with the sweetness.

As for me, I prefer the bitterness with a hint of rock sugar sweetness, which gives me endless aftertaste."

Wencai imitated Xu Ce's movements, pretended to understand, and said:

"That's right, we usually drink and drink a lot, and we like to have a good time after all the hardships."

Uncle Jiu rolled his eyes when he heard this, and glared at Wencai again. This bastard doesn't understand anything, so he's just messing around!

When Wen Cai saw this, he shrank his neck angrily and did not dare to speak again.

However, after taking a sip of coffee, he almost spit it out. Damn, are the ingredients in coffee a traditional Chinese medicine?

Why doesn't it have such a drool-worthy taste as Big Brother said?

The same is true for Uncle Jiu, but as an old Jianghu, he is more pretentious. Today he has experienced foreign tea. It tastes really bad!

Then, Uncle Jiu looked at the almost full Western restaurant and wondered, are all these people sick?

Come here early in the morning to drink Chinese medicine?

Flying is expensive!

Uncle Jiu was also very lucky that he had accepted Xu Ce as his apprentice at dawn and brought him along to talk things over, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself today.

Despite all the slander, Uncle Jiu did not pretend to understand and lied. He endured the bitterness and swallowed the coffee down his throat with difficulty.

I can only lament that foreigners have such strong tastes.

Xu Ce naturally saw this scene and found it a bit funny.

However, Xu Ce did not mean to look down upon it, because the first time he drank pure coffee without sugar or milk, as a "well-informed" later generation, his reaction at that time was similar to

Uncle Jiu's literary talents are not much different.

No idea, I usually drink instant coffee with a pre-mixed taste, but pure coffee is so bitter.

Ren Tingting looked at Xu Ce with surprise on her face. When she was studying abroad, drinking coffee was the norm, and she often heard foreigners talk about their feelings about drinking coffee.

However, this was the first time Xu Ce had said this, and she could tell that only someone who truly understood coffee could say these words.

Ren Tingting blinked her beautiful eyes twice, looked at Xu Ce, as if she had finally found someone as fashionable as her in a country town like Renjia Town, and had a common topic to talk about, and said:

"I didn't expect you to really understand coffee. I was surprised and pleasantly surprised.

Let me meet you, my name is Ren Tingting, and when Uncle Jiu calls your name, your name is Xu Ce, right?"

Ren Tingting had studied abroad, and her thoughts were less conservative than those of traditional Chinese women, so she extended her delicate hand to Xu Ce.

Xu Ce always kept a faint smile on his face, and he nodded Ren Tingting's hand in a very gentlemanly manner, which was regarded as shaking hands.

It's not that Xu Ce is pretending on purpose, but since he has decided to pick up girls, he naturally has to put his best foot forward.

Moreover, this foreign restaurant belongs to Master Ren. Ren Tingting is relatively open-minded, but that does not mean that Master Ren is open-minded.

What if Mr. Ren saw it and said he was taking advantage of Ren Tingting? This would affect Xu Ce's glorious and perfect image in the eyes of his future father-in-law.

"Please, Miss Ren."

Xu Ce picked up the coffee cup and smiled slightly, looking very sunny and handsome.

Ren Tingting raised her glass, put it to her lips, and took a sip, very like everyone else.
