Liao Zinc, a post-90s girl, takes root in his hometown to make coffee for the citizens.

Hazy lights, soft music, the fragrance of coffee in the air. Liao Zinc, a post-90s girl, returned to Wanzhou with her love of coffee and held a coffee-sharing meeting for the citizens once a month. Yesterday, she said that she liked the comfortable life in her hometown and wanted more people from her hometown to understand the coffee culture.

It is hard to give up the feelings of hometown in Wanzhou.

23-year-old Liao Zinc, a native of Wanzhou, has a fighting spirit in his heart. In 2014, with bright hopes for the future, Liao went to Chongqing alone to study coffee making.

Unlike the hardships of other non-local workers, Liao Zinc's road to work is relatively smooth. After two months of study, she successfully found a boutique coffee shop in Nanan District, with imported coffee beans, high-end production utensils and beautiful environment. In this store, Liao learned how to distinguish between different kinds of raw coffee beans, gained a better understanding of the various flavors of coffee, and made many like-minded friends.

By chance, Liao Zinc went to work in a cat-themed coffee shop. after continuous hard work, she became the bar manager from the beginning as a waiter, and eventually upgraded to the store manager. "from discussing cooperation with shopping malls, from paper towels used in the store to serving in the lobby and down to the kitchen to make pizza. I have to do everything myself. " Liao Zan told reporters that in this store, she has gradually developed into an all-round talent.

However, the higher Liao Zan stood, the more lonely he became and the more homesick he felt. In November 2015, when her career was booming, she quit her job without hesitation and returned to Wanzhou.

Hold a coffee sharing meeting for free

Because of his love of coffee, Liao Zinc, who returned to Wanzhou, chose the coffee industry again. "at that time, my current boss and I both wanted to be a pure coffee shop, so I decided to work here immediately." 'it 's very comfortable to make your favorite coffee in a relaxed working environment, 'Mr. Liao said.

"the coffee industry in Wanzhou is developing rapidly, but many citizens have not been exposed to the real coffee culture. As a coffee fan, I want more people to be exposed to coffee, so I decided to hold a coffee sharing meeting once a month. Let the public know more about coffee." Liao Zan said.

At the coffee sharing meeting, Liao not only introduced the types and actual operation of coffee to the participants, but also sometimes invited teachers from Taiwan to impart knowledge. In order to let participants experience the subtlety of coffee, Liao Zinc will let them taste the sour and sweet fruit, and then taste the delicate taste of coffee. Every time such a coffee sharing meeting is held, not only local people from Wanzhou are attracted, but also friends from other places will come specially to attend.

"at every coffee sharing meeting, I was very happy to see many coffee-loving citizens participate. I was very happy to hear their praise for the coffee sharing meeting, and it also gave me the motivation to continue on the coffee road." Liao said that Wanzhou is a city with a slow pace of life, and brewing coffee is also a slow worker who can do fine work, and the combination of the two is a wonderful thing.

Want to open your own coffee shop

The streets and alleys of Wanzhou can evoke Liao Zi's fond memories. "Wanzhou is the place where I was born and raised, witnessed my growth and accompanied me through carefree student time." Liao Zan said that after returning to Wanzhou, the lonely wanderer's heart was appeased.

Liao Zinc not only loves the delicacy of coffee, but also likes the sound dripping brought by sports. Every week, she would run at night along the Yangtze River, standing by the side of the river, watching the bright lights dye the night sky colorful, she would sigh the beauty of Wanzhou.

Today, Zinc Liao, who received the sensory Intermediate Certificate of SCAE European Coffee Association, is still delving into coffee production. "Coffee is my spiritual food. I must show you the best coffee with all my heart." She said that for the future, she plans to open a boutique coffee shop, combine her favorite woodwork, pottery and coffee, and personally brew every cup of coffee, so that customers can feel the pure coffee culture.
