Guangzhou | there are more boutique coffee beans here than the coffee show. Front Street Coffee

A few days ago, I mentioned to my friends that I visit cafes depending on the weather, such as where to go when it is sunny, where to go when it is cloudy, and where to go when it rains. Autumn and winter in Guangzhou are warmer than in many places. On the weekend before last winter solstice, I drank coffee in Qianjie for two days. Dongshan is my favorite place in Guangzhou. There is no one like it. The years settled down have a strong taste of books and simple life.

On the way from Shuqian Road to Miaoqian Straight Street, there are many big trees, many neighborhood grandfathers playing chess under the trees, and grandmothers sitting and chatting together. All the way you can see Dongshan Department Store very old appearance, you can pass very old photo shop, shoe repair shop, and a lot of snacks belonging to Guangzhou. This shop was indeed small. If they were a little late, they might lose their seats. Sometimes, they even felt a little cramped. There was a bean dryer next to the bar. There were many beans written on the blackboard. The boss baked beans every day. When he turned on the machine in the morning, the whole street in front of the security guard might be full of coffee beans.

The bar was filled with regular customers or coffee lovers who wanted to chat with the barista, but unfortunately the bar was full the few times I went. The small table next to it would have a good selection of beans, and the wall at the entrance would be covered with bags of all kinds of coffee beans, and the raw beans would be placed next to the wall, one bag after another.

The small door next to the bar went out, and there were two outdoor seats. When I went for the first time, I specially chose the outside. In addition to smoking, it was also because there was a particularly good sun in Guangzhou in winter. The first time I drank it was sunbathing in Guatemala. I remember Ye Erman asked me why I had to go out when I caught a cold. I said I had to drink it at home anyway. It was better to go out and bask in the sun. The barista sat at the table opposite me with a box of roast meat and asked me how my coffee tasted. Well, just like the mood of the day, a little comfortable, a little happy, very mild but very mellow, sweet and full, and a little bit of wine.

The next day, a friend came to Guangzhou on business from other places. Before dinner, I went to Qianjie to buy ear bags and drink newly raised beans. Most of the cups on the front street were thin and thin, with slender handles. They had the same British flavor as the chairs in the shop. When drinking a single product, they would be accompanied by a caramel biscuit. Many people like to eat this kind of biscuit, I see some cafes, even drink latte also match this kind of biscuit, taste slightly hard, swallow throat will have a kind of burning warm feeling.

I don't know if it's because of the sedimentation time at Dongshankou, or because the cups on the front street are too English, but every time I drink coffee here, I drink very slowly. Most coffee shops had casual cups, or colorful thick cups, which were carried lazily and casually. Some coffee shops also served a sharing pot, and the customers poured one cup after another like drinking wine.

Recently infatuated with a kind of sound, when it was almost time to eat, I heard the sound of chopping vegetables and the sound of spatula collision coming from the window, accompanied by waves of the fragrance of food, which smelled especially like home. I like to go shopping in the supermarket, push the shopping cart to buy a lot of fruits and vegetables in the supermarket, or simply buy a bunch of ingredients to go back to make hot pot, sit around with friends or family, think it is a very happy thing. I think what Sister Yun said at that time, renting an apartment for the weekend, buying some seafood, or buying some ingredients to cook, didn't happen.

Recently, the weather in Guangzhou has been playing in a cycle of cloudy days of more than 20 degrees and sunny days of more than 30 degrees. Today, two typhoons hit Guangdong, but they did not give us a day off like "Nida" before. Instead, they stopped the Guangzhou-Shenzhen intercity railway. I wanted to go to a restaurant in Shenzhen. Now it seemed that he could only reminisce. I haven't been to Shenzhen Pavilion since someone left Shenzhen. It's also because I'm too busy with work and I'm really ill recently. However, it is also possible to prepare for Xiamen's visit itinerary.
