Taiwanese brothers wish to open a coffee shop in Hefei for their grandfather.

Will personally check the quality of coffee.

Morning News: "Boss, you're not from here, are you?" Listening to Xu Shanqian's slow "Putonghua", customers couldn't help asking. "Yes, we are Taiwanese."

This is a cafe, which just opened on July 2nd. When they went to Hefei, the two brothers had a good wish. "my grandfather always wanted to do something in his hometown, but he didn't finish it himself. We want to help him realize this wish." Xu Shanqian said that his family is a combination of Taiwanese and Hefei. "my wife is also from Hefei."

The two brothers opened a shop in Hefei for Grandpa Yuan's wish

"although I grew up in Taiwan, my roots are in Anhui." Xu Shanqian's grandfather is from Lu'an. In 1949, he left his hometown and went to Taiwan for half a century. "my stable grandfather worked as a headmaster of a primary school in Taitung City, and later met a Taiwanese woman, that is, my grandmother." Although people are in Taiwan, the old people never forget their hometown, and this has a great impact on Xu Shanqian and Xu Shanwei when they were young.

"when I was a child, my grandfather used to tell us stories about my hometown, brick by brick in my hometown. Grandpa said it was very emotional." The two brothers, who are growing up, are looking forward to their hometown in their dreams. Grandpa often said that he must go back and do something for his hometown. However, due to age and other reasons, it has not been realized. " Fully aware of Grandpa's regret, the two brothers are determined to help the old man realize his wish.

In March 2012, the two brothers came to Hefei after military service. On July 2, the coffee shop officially opened.

Forced and casual, I want to do something in my hometown.

"No matter what you do, as long as you can do something for your hometown, it's enough. Grandpa always said that. " As a simple idea, the two brothers opened the cafe.

His younger brother Xu Shanwei has a passion for making coffee and has studied in many well-known milk tea and coffee shops in Taiwan. Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he is elegant and gentle. Looking carefully, he bears some resemblance to the star Li Yapeng. "some people in Taiwan say that he has a star face, and when he arrives in Hefei, there are still guests coming specifically for him." Xu Shanwei felt a little embarrassed by his brother's laugh.

"my father has a coffee tree estate, and now he grows many of the coffee beans we use." For the coffee shop, the two brothers also devoted a lot of painstaking efforts. "my brother and I both have obsessive-compulsive disorder, can't you see?" "what we do is to do our best. For example, the decoration of the store has been improved over and over again, such as the taste of the coffee. If it is not prepared well, we will take the initiative to pour it out. "

Compulsive and casual, says Hsu Shan-chien. This may be a contradiction among Taiwanese. "although we will force ourselves, we hope that the guests who come here can be more casual, how nice it is for everyone to make friends."

The family is a combination of Taiwanese and Hefei people.

"our family is a combination of Taiwanese and Hefei people." Xu Shanqian said with a smile. "my grandmother's mother is from Feixi County, Hefei City, and my own wife is also from Hefei."

The long-distance love of another generation made Xu Shanqian feel that somehow they had an inexplicable fate with Hefei. "when I was in high school, I went to Hefei for a while, and it was at that time that I met my present wife." "the shop is not big, but we want to stay in our hometown." From the moment they decided to get fat, the two brothers were eager to let the seeds in their hearts germinate and grow. "We hope Grandpa can come to our store, taste the coffee and feel the feeling of hometown. We hope we can stay here, reap the joy and feel the affection of the family. We hope that people in our hometown can taste Taiwan's coffee and feel the casual and indifferent life. "

Finally, when talking about Hefei, the two brothers thought for a while and said a word, "home". "this is our home, we are back, and we don't want to leave again!"
