Why are there so many cafes in Shanghai? Because "half of what runs through the veins of Shanghainese is coffee"!

The question asked: "how do you feel about the closure of the community?"

A Shanghai citizen: "it's over, no preparation, no coffee!" How much do the people of Shanghai love coffee? A statement at the top of Weibo's most searched list last night answered this question.

Originally, it was just a daily exclamation, but unexpectedly, it attracted the "same feeling" of many Shanghai citizens! Netizens said one after another: they are right! As soon as there is a chance to unseal and go out, the first thing that comes to mind is to buy coffee first! You can make do with it, but you can't do without coffee! (of course, these only represent individual netizens, not all Shanghainese)

Later, the Weibo post also "alarmed" the official of the box horse, and could not help replying: "Ah

Get some more coffee. " Even the coffee official was "not to be outdone" and immediately asked netizens who posted the article: "where does the little sister live? if she is close, I will send you some for a drink."

. When Luckin Coffee saw this, he hurriedly said, "it's too late." Be late but arrive

"

Another netizen said, "half of the flow in the veins of Shanghainese is coffee and half is light!" In the past, Guangming drank directly, but now Guangming more or less wants to be used as a latte.

Do you think netizens are exaggerating? Let's take a look at a set of data: according to Rising Lab, a research institute of Shanghai China Financial Media, Shanghai already has more than 7000 cafes, making it the city with the largest number of cafes in the world (statistics will end by the end of 2021). According to the total annual sales of local coffee shops in Shanghai, the average number of people living in Shanghai is 20 cups of coffee per capita in Shanghai every year. It doesn't seem like a lot? This is only based on the sales volume of coffee shops. Not everyone living in Shanghai will drink coffee, and drinking coffee will not necessarily go to coffee shops.

In response to a netizen's question about whether all Shanghainese like coffee, a local blogger in Shanghai vividly expressed the attitude of most Shanghainese towards coffee through a video.

-Weibo "G Monk Dong"

Shanghainese like to drink coffee more out of a habit. Since the period of the Republic of China, coffee drinking has become popular among the upper class in Shanghai, and cafes invested by many Chinese can be seen on the busy streets. In the 1960s, coffee became popular, and vacuum-packed coffee powder began to be sold, and gradually began to infiltrate people's daily life. As a result, the older generation of Shanghainese began to have the habit of drinking coffee. Habits will be handed down from generation to generation, and the culture of drinking coffee and coffee has long been engraved in the DNA of Shanghainese.

-the production of coffee and tea

Just like drinking tea, it can be brewed delicately or boiled in a pot, and so is coffee. Not everyone will pursue that coffee is fine freshly ground, and every cup of coffee does not necessarily have to drink any exquisite flavor, that is, drinking, instant, hanging ears can still work. Coffee is just a drink, a signal to encourage yourself and cheer yourself up every day. It's energy, it's power, it's a ritual that can switch states.

The popular search on Weibo reminds code workers of this passage: if you tell Shanghainese that you feel a little tired, they will say that you need some moment of your own, so you can go to a cafe for a cup of coffee and relax.

But if you tell the Cantonese that you feel a little tired, they will only say that you are wet and tell you to drink more herbal tea, drink more dampness-removing soup, pull out a cupping and scrape, and then get some sleep.

If you really think about it, the picture will emerge immediately.
