Taiwan Coffee ingenuity + Coffee Coffee atmosphere

Li Yu-ying, a seventh grader, boldly combined the ancestral courtyard with the coffee that young people like. When she stepped into this small shop in ancient times, she was not only surprised by the master's ingenuity, but also amazed at her good skill in making coffee. Coffee can be produced, boiled, baked and, of course, in the atmosphere. Lai Wencheng, who likes wisteria flowers, has created a Qianping wisteria coffee garden so that Minfu can enjoy the romantic sea of purple flowers while drinking coffee.

Li Yuying in Shiqiang Tsai: a Mo's home has been transformed into an online store.

Seven years ago, when I converted my ancestral past, which has been handed down for more than a decade, into a coffee shop, I didn't know it was called the reconstruction of an old house, let alone any "literary creation." it was only natural for me to combine Amor's home with my favorite coffee.

As early as a hundred years ago, because my ancestors lived high up there, my neighbors could only see the outer walls of the courtyard. They were called the "Li family in Stonewall Tsai". The most famous of our family is Uncle Li Kuixian, who was recommended by the International Poet Institute as a candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature. He once wrote poems for Zu Xi, describing the amorous feelings inside Stonewall Tsai. Although my father can't write poems, he will not lose his affection for this land to his uncle.

When I was nine years old and was still a mistress, my father already had the idea of preserving this ancient building, but the Li family had passed down to his eighth generation, and there were more than 200 owners of the courtyard house. He could only persuade relatives one by one to buy Zuxi step by step. I knew from an early age that my father had deep feelings for this land, but I never thought that one day I would go back to the mountain and run a courtyard with him.

When I graduated from college, in order to take care of my sick father at that time, I did not immediately go into the workplace, but accompanied him. As soon as my father got better, he immediately returned to Shek Chi Tsai to take care of the house. When he saw that the second floor of Zu Xi was unused, he left it to me to take care of it. When he heard that I was going to open a coffee shop and use a bowl of public coffee, a bunch of question marks floated in his heart: "does anyone want to drink that kind of bitter tea?" Would you like to put it in a bowl? "

I used to work in a coffee shop when I was in college. From baking beans to making coffee, I learned a lot of coffee-making skills. In addition, my boyfriend is also good at baking beans, so the technical level is not a problem, but how to decorate the old house bothers me.

The bowl of bitter son tea makes the old man more willing to taste fresh.

At first, the designer said he wanted to make it Mediterranean or bohemian, but it didn't match the ancient style of Zu. I thought it was wrong and changed the decoration immediately. Later, the designer was very helpful, knowing that my budget was not high, but he wanted to use the wood as the tone to demolish the alley in the abandoned bowling alley. Many guests thought that our tables and chairs were thick because it was converted from a bowling alley.

Using bowls is also my insistence, not only to highlight the characteristics of the old house, but also to make guests more willing to try coffee. I charge more than 200 yuan for a cup of coffee here, because we use fine beans and bake by ourselves. We insist on the quality. Of course, we hope the guests can savor it carefully. However, there are many old people who come to play in Shek Qiang Tsai. They usually add cream and sugar when they see coffee, and they can't tell whether the coffee is good or bad at all.

Coffee in bowls can arouse their curiosity. After asking questions about me, the old people are very willing to listen to my opinions and try different kinds of coffee. I most often recommend Ethiopia Yega Chevy coffee beans. On the one hand, Ethiopia is the original producing area of coffee beans. Moreover, this kind of coffee beans has a unique sour taste, but it is not difficult to accept. It often subverts guests' impression of coffee.

When I first started running a coffee shop, business could only be described as "bleak." I had nothing to do every day, so I had to boil jam and make cookies with my own fruit, and I practiced my skills for a long time. It was only after three years of hard work that coffee in Shiqiang Tsai became famous on the Internet because of a sudden visit by local visitors.

Seeing the improvement in the business of the coffee shop, my father gradually agreed with me. He, who had never drunk "bitter son tea" before, was also willing to try the coffee I made with my own hands. Over the past seven years, I have become more and more able to understand my father's feelings for this land. Looking at Stonewall, sometimes I have a mission to inherit.

Wisteria Cafe Lai Wenli: flowers bloom for only 1.5 months a year

Wisteria blossoms twice a year, from March to April and July to August, respectively, but the wisteria coffee garden only opens in March and April, because the flowers in this period are the most beautiful. In summer, wisteria grows leaves, which is not so beautiful to watch.

I have always liked flowers and plants. Twelve years ago, my son gave me a wisteria seedling. When the wisteria was in full bloom for the first time, I was deeply attracted by its romantic purple flowers. Later, I even rented land for it to grow, and even opened a coffee garden for people to rest. Other people opened coffee shops because they liked coffee. I did the opposite, thinking about what diet would match this sea of flowers.

Wisteria flowers are very beautiful, but Taiwanese are not familiar with vines, and many people cannot grow them, but because my hometown is a grape grower, I am very familiar with vines. When an Ojisan came to visit and saw the garden full of wisteria flowers, he specially came to me for advice, because the wisteria planted in his family had only opened three strings in thirty years.

Wisteria is an all-day plant, light is very important to them, the sun is shining in Taiwan, this is not a problem, wisteria does not grow well, the reason is usually watering. Wisteria leaves will fall out in winter, some people see this situation, think wisteria is dying, desperately watering, but so that wisteria can not blossom.

Blooming and falling leaves are the norm for plant growth. When the winter climate is cold and plants face the test of survival, they will blossom, pollinate, and fertilize to facilitate reproduction. There is no need for us to worry at all. Moreover, if we pour too much water in winter, wisteria will misjudge the season, so it will skip the flowering stage and sprout directly.

Renting Wanping land to build a ten-fold park

However, even if I have the right concept, it will be very difficult for ordinary people to beat me. I grew up farming and had my own steps in plant cultivation. I installed a special faucet for each wisteria tree, which dripped all the time. Of course, the amount of water should be properly controlled so that the wisteria would not rot. Not only did the wisteria have special treatment, but I managed all the crops in my family. As a result, I was allowed to grow a meter-high cabbage and an one-kilogram Qingjiang vegetable.

Apart from the beautiful flowers, my wisteria grows faster than other people's. It can grow 20 centimeters a day, and it takes me a lot of time just to prune the vines every day. In fact, my business is the wholesale of craft materials. Every day before I go to work, I go to the coffee garden to take care of wisteria, and I have to observe them again after work. I work at least 14 hours a day.

Not long ago, there were a lot of tourists coming to my door. some people saw that I stipulated that the entrance fee for the garden was NT $100, and that I could not discount the coffee, so I would lose a lot of money. I smiled and replied, "I make a lot of money. When I see your smiles, I earn it." "

This is from the bottom of my heart. Not to mention the guests do not know, this coffee garden is only open for one and a half months a year, and people are not allowed to enter the garden individually after April 28 this year. This is my insistence, because wisteria is the most beautiful at this time. Although there are no guests to enter the park for the remaining ten and a half months, there is nothing less to take care of. How can we make money?.

Now this wisteria coffee garden is only 1,000 ping, which is too small. I have rented Wanping land around Tianyuan Palace to build a park ten times the size of the park, and I have planned a 500-meter-long wisteria tunnel. People who like wisteria two years later will be able to walk timidly in the sea of flowers.
