When Lin thought about this surprise, he was no longer surprised. Because coffee contains the largest amount of caffeine, it is a type of stimulant and naturally has stimulating and refreshing effects. Ranked second, the natural plant with a large amount of caffeine is tea.
For residents of Midland who have no resistance to caffeine, it is natural for them to feel awkward when they taste black coffee for the first time. Lin didn't laugh at them. Instead, seeing those four shining eyes staring at the freshly roasted coffee beans, Lin felt endless worries about the future.
"My little friend."
Here we go again, when some elderly people ask for help from others, they always put on such an air, trying to be close to friendship. You also look like you are honored that I think highly of you.
Lin didn't wait for anyone to finish what he said, he stopped talking and said, "Master, I have paid all the cost of the machine."
"That's right. But didn't we have a happy cooperation before? There can always be a second deal."
Who wanted to strangle me to death before? Lin wanted to ask this question.
Forget it, it's the worst thing to argue with someone with half-grey hair. Watching someone pretending to pick up a cup with a melted handle, and taking a sip of enjoyment before turning his attention back to himself, Lin heard Master Smith say, "This is an unprecedented potion. My friend, are you interested in selling?"
"No, it's just for home use. And don't think that the effect is very good. In fact, the more times you drink it, the effect will decrease sharply. So just treat it as a normal drink and don't take it too seriously."
After hitting a soft nail, Master Smith didn't take it seriously. On the contrary, he was very interested in lobbying the young man in front of him. "Xiao Gai, I know your forum magic stone is very popular. But people must have dreams and not be satisfied with current achievements. Only in this way can we create peaks again and again. And there is a lot of money and it won't be hot. If you don’t make more while you can, by the time you need it and need it urgently, it will be too late.”
Xiao Gai was called out, and Lin didn't know where to start. Besides, someone’s current situation is not caused by having too much money. It is hard to imagine that on Earth, we have never heard of people running away because they owed money. How could we ever hear of people running away after making money? But unfortunately, that’s where someone is.
However, the master who talked about business seemed to be very enthusiastic and talked about all the secrets of dealing with others. Lin had the feeling of entering a direct selling base camp and being brainwashed by a group of advanced people.
Perhaps in the eyes of the master, Lin is a young man who is easy to fool. Although he has a reputation for being evil, he can't be evil. The Tower of the Great Sage even exploded a demon king. Although I didn't do it myself. But as long as such a major event is slightly related, it can be talked about for a lifetime. ——But during this period of time together, the other party did not have that annoying arrogant temper. That's why Smith is thinking of other plans.
Unfortunately, he still miscalculated. Although he was easy to get along with, Lin also seemed aloof and refused to let go at all, which was very helpless. Before leaving, he still remembered Yin Yin's instructions. If you have any plans, you must consider him first, and the cooperation conditions must be satisfactory.
After finally sending Master Smith away, Fen showed that ambiguous expression. He said, "I've never tasted this before. I can't tell the difference after just one drink. So how about another drink?"
"I won't do it. The reason is the same. It's just that you haven't drunk it before, so you will be surprised the first time. In fact, if you drink too much, that's all."
"Then you teach me how to cook it, and I'll do it myself."
"Oh, this is okay."
"Conclusion, you are just lazy."
"Making coffee is quite troublesome. If anyone is willing to learn, of course I will teach you. There is nothing to hide." After saying that, Lin put away the utensils on the table. After washing, get ready to do it all over again. But this time he didn't intend to take action, indicating that Fen, who wanted to learn, would do it himself.
In fact, the process is not complicated. Boil the water and pour it into the pot. Put the pot on and continue cooking. Wait until the water starts to rise before adding the coffee grounds. After boiling to a certain level, remove the fire source and wait for the coffee liquid to fall back into the lower pot, and the work is completed.
But if you follow the method that sounds so simple, the final product will definitely make a certain lich want to kill someone. So it definitely won’t work without explaining the details. But to be honest, Lin only knows how to drink and is pretty good at cooking. But asking him to teach others is really a bit of a stretch. I can only say as much as I can.
When making coffee, some people only count time, but that is only suitable for making a certain type of coffee. If you change the coffee frequently, then this method can only be said to be a safe method, not the best method. The method Lin learned has only one key point, and that is smell. However, this method makes it difficult to impart experience. At most, the most important thing is to pay attention to the time and frequency of taste changes, and use this as the basis for coffee changes.
As for the firepower, because it uses an alcohol lamp, it is a fixed type, so the firepower cannot be adjusted. Another thing related to coffee is the number, strength and method of stirring. This point is also variable, but at least it has some fixed basis than the smell trick.
To put it simply, if you feel it is too light, just stir it a few more times; in other cases, except for the first time to stir up the coffee powder so that it can be completely immersed in the water, try not to move it, or even shake it until the coffee liquid .
Fen studied very seriously, and his movements were meticulous, as if he was performing magic. When all the processes were completed and her first cup of coffee was brewed, she happily took the first sip. Then the first cup of coffee to be sprayed out in the history of Midland was achieved.
The former Demon King wiped his mouth, looked at the black liquid in front of him with a fearful expression, and then looked at someone in panic.
How could Lin not be curious about such a performance. Just pick up Fen's cup and take a small sip. He frowned and said, "You've just learned how to cook. It's normal to overcook. Maybe when you start learning, you should pay attention to the time and don't exceed it too much. This way at least you won't make a big mistake."
"You should talk about this kind of thing first." Fen complained dissatisfiedly, looking at the failed coffee with a troubled face.
Of course Lin knew what this woman was worried about and said, "Generally speaking, it seems wasteful not to drink something after it's been cooked. But the master who taught me about coffee said that if it's not worth drinking, it should be thrown away." , don’t feel it’s a pity. Treat this failure as a motivation for progress, which is much more important than not wasting it. If you always think that this cup is poorly cooked, but you can still drink it if you bite the bullet, then maybe it will always be at this level.”
"This is really a pity." Fen looked at someone with hopeful eyes. Lin could understand the meaning of that look, but he said mercilessly, "Don't expect me to drink. If you just want to be obedient and have others clean up the mess, you will never make progress."
"How inconsiderate."
Lin said without any hesitation, "My girlfriend cooked a pot of hellish food, but in order to coax the girl, I ate it all. I didn't know how many stomach pills I had to swallow afterwards. This kind of thing is really called It’s weird.”
"Why are there such idiots?"
"Oh, this is not popular in Midland. It seems that men in this world are smarter. This is really gratifying."
"That is to say, your earth regards creating waste as a considerate thing."
"What a sharp statement. Due to identity issues, I can't comment. But I really want to see if the people who advocate this kind of behavior can maintain such thoughtfulness in reality; even after getting married, they can continue to eat Eat the same hellish food. Or put your hope in the conscious progress of others. At least in my circle of friends, there are no such idiots."
"You just have no friends."
"Oh my, that's such a to-the-point comment. I have to say, that is indeed very true." After a few embarrassing self-deprecating remarks, Lin cleverly changed the subject and said, "And let me tell you, you really don't have to worry too much about waste. — —" Pointing out the window, he saw a warehouse filled with more than seventy barrels of coffee. "—How much do you need to cook once? Calculate how long the beans there are enough for you to spend."
Thinking about it, it was transported one car at a time, carrying several large trucks. But now that I have been worrying about such a small problem for a long time, Fen only thinks that she is funny. With a flip of his hand, he poured the failed work into the wastewater bucket. After tidying up, she was about to cook for the second time, when she noticed that two girls were hanging by the table, looking at her. "Well, do you want to try it too?"
"I want it, I want it. I come first, I come first." Hallumi shouted while jumping. Although Kaya next to her didn't expect her companion to be as fierce, she still showed enthusiasm, and her bright eyes revealed her ambition.
Although they were burned at the first bite and were not very used to the strange smell, other people's behavior also made the girls realize that this is a rare and good thing, so they naturally fell in love with it. Originally, they were worried that their teachers would be as secretive as programming languages.
Regarding procedures, the only person Lin has taught seriously so far is Fen. The idea for the two girls is that they should complete their magic studies first and at least become official magicians before considering anything else. However, this intention seemed not to be accepted by others, and instead they were taken out and recited from time to time.
In this regard, Fen also maintained the same attitude, but she pretended to be on the same side as the girls when it came to the problem. Although she also doesn't teach, once the girls complain, they always blame some evil force for not allowing it, so she is also helpless.
Mom, who is more helpless!
In short, there are people who want to imitate Lin's attitude towards coffee. Of course, the girls will not let go of the opportunity. After all, their backgrounds were not good, and their experience of becoming magic apprentices was full of twists and turns. If it weren't for Lin's shelter, they don't know what they would be like now.
Even now that I am in the hands of someone, my life is quite comfortable, and I seem to have no worries about food and clothing. But how long it can last, they don't know. They don't know whether there will come a day when they are no longer valuable and will be kicked away. So we can only enrich our skills as much as possible before that happens. This is a common understanding shared by the two girls.
