Coffee style

When I was a child, when I saw the word coffee in a book, it felt like a very abstract thing. What on earth is coffee? Why not just eat beans, but boil water to drink? Why is a cafe a symbol of madness and death in Van Gogh's eyes? Santiago, an old fisherman in the Old Man and the Sea, doesn't have to eat all day after drinking a cup of coffee in the morning. is coffee really that magical?

With Teresa Teng's beautiful song "Wine and Coffee", Nestle instant coffee has also entered the Chinese market, although people do not mistake coffee for snuff like Fan Fanshan mentioned in besieged Fortress. as a result, the skin of the nostrils has been scratched, but many people think that coffee is worse than traditional Chinese medicine. The only consensus is that the glass bottle of instant coffee is a good thing, used in the office to make tea, both beautiful and practical.

A friend of mine visited relatives in Hong Kong in the mid-1980s, which was a big deal at that time. When he came back, he took a box of McDonald's instant coffee and boasted that it was the latest "McDonnell brand urea coffee" produced in Hong Kong. Bluffing everyone to face to face, I feel very disdainful. No wonder the coffee is so bad. It's made of urea. We don't want to drink this kind of thing.

In the film and television works of RTHK at the same time, coffee-related scenes are often seen: the protagonist is in a coffee shop with large floor-to-ceiling windows, looking through the glass at the hurried people and cars outside with a cool look. Or in an open-air cafe on the streets of Paris, the protagonist is drinking coffee leisurely while bathing in the gentle wind and sunshine of the Seine, elegantly interpreting the beautiful definition of the fashion capital. At that time, the beautiful scenes, which were still far away from public life, highlighted a kind of aristocratic atmosphere that people had to look up to.

In 1992, I was waiting at the Capital Airport, 30 yuan a small cup of coffee, so that I was in awe of coffee. I felt that compared with a large bowl of fresh noodles, the latter was more direct and appealing, and there was no elegance in my heart. On another occasion, I came back from Guangzhou with a middle-aged businessman who brought a large bag of coffee beans from Hainan. I asked him why he brought so much and how long it would take to drink. He told me mysteriously that drinking coffee with raw salt had a good effect on strengthening yang, and recommended me to try it. I smiled and refused.

Russell, the faithful executor of coffee culture, said: "being able to intelligently enrich leisure time is the latest achievement of human civilization." Nowadays, in the busy pace of modern life, leisure is also a concept of productivity, which has been gradually recognized by people in the imperceptible influence. In the warm afternoon, put aside everything, stretch the frown, lean on the rattan chair of the coffee shop, chat and rest leisurely, enjoy the fragrant coffee and the free and casual state of mind, has become a fashionable life choice. With the melodious saxophone or brass music, the classical cast iron hand bean grinder crushes not only coffee beans, but also a tired and tired state of mind.
