Barista: I earn three thousand a month, and I can't lose you a shot!

My Chinese name is Wang Xiaoli. I am a barista from Taiwan. About the slow work of Taiwanese, you can know a thing or two from the speed of walking. When I first married to live in Hong Kong, even now, I still can't fully adapt to the pedestrians on the road. There is a constant question: why don't people on the road move in the same direction? And the urbanites who surpass their own pace one after another, they are walking fast and fast, which makes me think that if they are not in a hurry, they are in a hurry to do something important in life! Interestingly, it is regarded as the slowest "coffee shop" in Taiwan, but it is of no use in Hong Kong. People still have to be "happy" when they are in the cafe.

In my spare time, I will take the same book with me. When I have already marked the high rating or characteristic caf é that I want to try, I will sit for three or four hours. The customers at the next table have changed three to five groups, but I continue to enjoy it. Gradually, I began to observe the caf é in Hong Kong. The guests who came for coffee really just came to have a drink or have dinner or even discuss a few important things with friends. Then I went to the next place, which took only 30 minutes to 1 hour. Perhaps this is the most luxurious time of the day for city dwellers! Compared with me, as a Taiwanese, I have to stay for at least 2 hours as soon as I join the cafe. Yes. We Taiwanese are usually very willing to spend time in this slow living space.

In retrospect, I also forget when I started to drink coffee. Up to now, coffee still occupies a very important proportion in my life, and because I like coffee, I want to know about it! So without any practical experience in making coffee, I signed up and got the international barista certification, became a professional barista and worked in cafe. In the process, I am more sure that coffee is a symbol of slow life for me, and it will continue for the rest of my life. I hope that through my love of coffee and philosophy of slow living, I can infect Hong Kong people, even if it takes only half an hour. It would be nice for them to really relax and enjoy a moment of peace (of course, a lot of coffee).
