Chapter 22 Chatting and Drinking Coffee
After overhearing the conversation between Brewer and others, Zhengyao quickly went upstairs and decided to tell Tang Danni the news. ( )
However, at this moment, he saw a Portuguese man walking up to him and saying something he didn't know what he was talking about. Zheng Yao was afraid that this would disturb Brewer who was talking inside, so he decided to do this
Don't listen and go upstairs quickly.
But what he didn't expect was that the Portuguese man stopped him and started talking loudly again. Since Zhengyao didn't understand what he meant at all, he couldn't explain it to him.
Where to start and what to say.
At this time, due to the dispute between Zhengyao and the Portuguese man, a group of people came to watch, and this group of people also pointed and pointed in Portuguese that he did not understand. For Zhengyao,
, at this moment, he seemed to have entered a zoo, facing a group of animals that could not understand the language.
The conversation in the room suddenly stopped, and then came out a middle-aged man in a straight suit and a middle-aged man in a gray gown. If Zhengyao guessed correctly, the man in a straight suit must be Prince Bu.
Ruhl, as for the other person, should be Brewer's confidant.
Zhengyao is not afraid of anything now, except that he is afraid that Brewer will know when he eavesdropped on the conversation between Brewer and that person, because this is likely to accelerate Brewer's persecution of Tang Danni. Zhengyao understands that for the sake of the throne, even if
She is her niece, and this Brewer will not be lenient.
Palace struggles are like this. Emotions are rarely talked about. If emotions are talked about, you lose.
After Brewer came out, he chatted with the group of Portuguese people again. Finally, he saw a smile on Brewer's face, and then turned to look at Zhengyao and said: "Young Master, you
I’m not scared! It turns out that you are a friend of Her Royal Highness the Princess, so I’m really sorry for frightening you!”
Unexpectedly, Brewer would be so polite when he saw Zhengyao, saluting and apologizing, and speaking fluent Ming Dynasty Mandarin. Zhengyao was surprised for a while.
Of course, the more this happens, the more Zhengyao can imagine how good this Brewer is at acting. It is estimated that if he were to participate in a movie, the highest award in Hollywood, the Oscar, would definitely go to him. ( )
Zhengyao pursed his lips and smiled and said: "This should be Dany's second uncle, His Royal Highness Prince Brewer! I'm sorry, my surname is Li Minghe. I come from the capital. The princess of your country brought me here to visit the castle. I didn't tell you beforehand."
Your Royal Highness, your announcement is indeed a bit presumptuous, but I hope that Your Highness will understand it!"
Since Breuer talks to himself hypocritically, why should Zhengyao be false? Isn't it true that in this world, you can be more false, I can be more false, and he can be more false?
Besides, he didn't want to be tricked into saying anything by Brewer. He would just say whatever Brewer asked him. As for the rest, he could treat it as nonsense that went against his will.
"That's it! It seems that this time I want to thank Mr. Li properly. If you hadn't sent Her Royal Highness back, I wouldn't have known where to find the princess! It's true that the princess sneaked away during meal time
Come back. By the way, please come this way."
Brewer said with a smile, and stretched out his hand to signal Zhengyao to come to his office, which is where he was talking to the man just now.
Zhengyao didn't refuse. He also wanted to see how Brewer would thank him, so he nodded and smiled, replied "please", and walked resolutely into the office.
As for the others, under the signal of the person who was talking to Brewer, they dispersed and said nothing more.
"This is where your highness, the prince, works? It seems that his highness is usually very busy!"
Walking into the office, Zhengyao began to look around, but he saw that the display and furnishings inside were not much different from those in modern offices. The only thing was that there were no computers, no water dispensers, and of course, no glass walls.
There is a thick layer of documents on the table, and there are piles of books in the bookcase next to it. It seems that this Brewer is quite serious about his job, and he is personally involved in the usual plans and plans. In a strict sense,
, should be regarded as a rare talent.
However, even if Brewer had a talent for managing the world, in Zhengyao's eyes he was still just like Song Yu, and Zhengyao had no good impression of him from the bottom of his heart.
A person who doesn't even care about family ties. What's the point of becoming a king and conquering the world? Zhengyao still couldn't figure it out. ( )
"Haha, it's quite messy here, which makes Mr. Li laugh! Come on, sit down, sit wherever you want! Mickey, make a cup of coffee for Mr. Li!"
After Brewer sat down, he immediately motioned for Zhengyao to sit down too, and then he said to the man in a gray gown who had talked to him before, asking him to make some coffee for Zhengyao.
I saw that when Brewer talked about coffee, the expression on his face was very high-spirited, as if he was talking about coffee. You Ming people probably have never even heard of it.
However, what Brewer met today was Zhengyao, a modern man who had traveled from the 21st century. Coffee? Although Zhengyao had not really studied it, he still knew something about it.
When I was at home, my favorite thing was to drink tea. My parents also loved to drink tea, but only my younger brother liked to drink coffee because he didn't know what was so good about this coffee that would make his younger brother so addicted.
, so Zhengyao went to the Internet to check some information about coffee. Finally, without knowing it, Zhengyao began to slowly accept coffee as a drink.
The word "coffee" comes from a small town called Kaffa in Ethiopia. In Greek, "coffee" means "strength and passion." The commonly consumed coffee in Japan is made from coffee beans with various cooking methods.
It is made with utensils, and coffee beans refer to the kernels in the coffee tree fruits, which are roasted using appropriate roasting methods.
The world's first coffee tree was discovered in the Horn of Africa. The local indigenous tribes often grind the coffee berries, then mix them with animal fat and knead them into many spherical balls. The people of these indigenous tribes
Treat these coffee balls as precious food, specially for those soldiers who are about to go off to war.
At that time, people did not understand what it was like for coffee drinkers to be excited - they did not know that it was caused by the irritation of coffee. On the contrary, people regarded it as religious fanaticism displayed by coffee drinkers. They felt that this was
This drink was so mysterious that it became the preserve of priests and doctors.
Of course, there are various legends about the origin of coffee.
The most common and popular story is the story of the shepherd. Legend has it that a shepherd accidentally discovered that his sheep were jumping and dancing while shepherding sheep. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the sheep had eaten a red food.
Fruit causes funny behavior
Strange. He tried to pick some of these red fruits and boiled them. Unexpectedly, the room was filled with fragrant aroma. After drinking the juice, he felt more energetic and refreshed. From then on, this fruit was regarded as a kind of fruit.
A refreshing drink that is well received.
Zhengyao listened to these stories over and over ten times and memorized them by heart. The reason was that every time he asked his brother why he drank coffee and whether coffee had as long a history as tea, his brother would
I will use these stories to tell him that coffee is a very good drink.
Over time, Zhengyao became numb and gradually accepted coffee as a drink.
Therefore, when Brewer showed off his coffee in front of him, he was just asking for trouble.
"Coffee? Haha. I haven't drank coffee for a long time. In fact, I don't like the feeling of using drugs to anesthetize myself, because it will make people feel fake."
Zheng Yao made a double entendre. On the one hand, he said that he did not like coffee, but on the other hand, he said that Brewer was just used to drinking coffee and deliberately liked to stimulate himself. He did one thing before others and another after others.
However, Brewer didn't pay attention to this. He just listened to Zhengyao's seriousness and couldn't help but feel surprised. This coffee is not something ordinary people can afford. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it, let alone
In a country like Ming Dynasty where tea is the main beverage, it is difficult for coffee to be introduced.
"What? From what Mr. Li said, it seems that he has quite a lot of knowledge about coffee. I would like to hear Mr. Li's opinion."
Of course he didn't know that Zhengyao said drinking coffee was before time travel. After time travel? Not to mention coffee, Zheng Yao didn't even drink juice.
Zhengyao smiled slightly and said: "I wonder what your Highness the Prince wants to hear about coffee? If I know, I will definitely tell you everything."
I didn't expect that Zhengyao would be so refreshing, but Brewer was amazed again. Seeing that what Zhengyao said was true, maybe Zhengyao really did research on coffee.
After making up his mind, Brewer said: "Try my coffee first and see if you can name it."
After saying that, Brewer also showed a smile on his face. Obviously, in his opinion, this must have posed a problem for Zhengyao. Now it is a mule or a horse, just pull it out for a walk. Who doesn't talk in vain?
Will it?
Zhengyao knew Brewer's intention, but he didn't say anything. He just picked up the cup on the table, took a look at it and said, "May I ask Your Highness, do you have beef nai or nai oil?"
"Beef nai or nai oil?"
Brewer was stunned for a while, wondering what kind of trick Zhengyao was playing to ask such a question.
Seeing Brewer's expression, Zhengyao couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Coffee without adding anything tastes bitter. On the contrary, add a little nai or nai oil in an appropriate amount.
, the flavor will be richer and more fragrant.”
"Oh? I've never heard of such a thing! Mickey, go find some beef! Today I want to try this coffee with beef to see if it tastes good or not!"
"Yes, Your Highness the Prince!"
With that said, Mickey walked out, leaving Zhengyao and Brewer alone in the office.
Picking up the cup, Zhengyao immediately put his nose to it and smelled it. After a while, Zhengyao put down the cup and said to Brewer without taking a sip: "Your Highness, if I am not wrong, this coffee of yours should be
It’s mocha coffee, which is the oldest type of coffee and its history goes back to the origin of coffee.”
After saying that, Zhengyao crossed Erlang's legs with a relaxed look on his face.
"Bah bang bang!"
"Not bad, not bad! I didn't expect that Mr. Li really knows a lot about coffee! I'm convinced this time!"
After a round of applause, Brewer couldn't help but look at Zhengyao with admiration, and the previous disdain disappeared.
Anyone who can drink coffee must not be an ordinary person. In his opinion, Zhengyao is definitely a person with a prominent status, so his view of Zhengyao has also changed accordingly. (To be continued. Welcome.
