Xinglong in coffee cup has different scenery

"it smells good!" This sound sighs with emotion for a long time.

Caffeine, a magical compound, acts on their cerebral cortex and excites their nerves. Lao Chen said that if you don't touch coffee one day, you will feel empty. Drinking coffee is like an injection.

"Little sister, have a cup of coffee!" This town, with a population of just over 20,000, is home to more than 100 coffee shops, large and small. Here do not pay attention to the so-called elegance and petty bourgeoisie, it is the "people" nature. The Xinglong people molded it into a large stall-style open space, equipped with the most common tables and chairs, and allowed motorcycles to pour in, and people talked loudly. With coffee, they can spend a morning or an afternoon watching the sun become poisonous or sunset in the air.

"having some coffee and talking about national and world affairs with a few friends is the most interesting." Xu Haiyang said. He is the "current politics" in the street coffee shop. Of course, there are also indispensable "lottery circles" (lottery tickets), a piece of "lottery paper" and a cup of coffee, which is enough for them to "study" the "rules" for the first half of the day. In addition, there are meetings in various industries, gossip gatherings between parents, and so on.

The "people" nature of coffee does not mean that Xinglong people do not pay attention to taste. It's just the word taste, returning to its most basic meaning. People here will distinguish the grade of coffee beans by their fullness and color, and they like the local "coffee black" which is more bitter and thicker. They all know whether the brewing water is warm enough and how many seconds it takes to quench the human siphon pot. Even as long as the taste is a little more sour, they can tell that this is not local coffee.

Some studies have shown that drinking coffee in moderation contributes to longevity, which is how Xinglong people feel, which may be revealed by their radiance. "I'll have a pure cup every morning, no more than three cups a day." The female owner of the old overseas Chinese coffee shop in her 40s talks about her youth secrets, and her skin is as smooth and bright as when she was young.

History is what Xinglong people talk about when they talk about coffee. "Premier Zhou came to drink and said that it was world-class!" They proudly told outsiders an allusion that the prime minister had three drinks in a row and was dissuaded by his wife Deng Yingchao when he planned to drink the fourth cup. They will also proudly tell you that the first coffee factory in New China is the Xinglong overseas Chinese Farm Coffee Factory here, whose brand name comes from the Mother River-Sun River.

Up to now, stone mills pushed by manpower or animal power and old-fashioned coffee pots with filter paper can still be seen in many places in Xinglong, showing unique historical memories. The street with the largest number of coffee shops is also called Lao Ka Street, and one of the shops has adopted red-and-black style decoration and named the revolutionary "Vassili" to let the coffee express its passionate and burning nature.

"you smell it first, then open your mouth wide, and let it seep slowly from the tip of the tongue to both sides. In aftertaste, it's a little sweet. "

But what the Xinglong people did not say is that the bitterest residue is at the bottom of the cup. There is a unique scenery lurking here, but you have to wait for the other eye to discover it.
