Chapter 8 8

Le An lives in a three-bedroom apartment. According to Le An, it is the owner's house of the coffee shop. It takes only 3 minutes to walk to work.Surprisingly, she was the only one who rented this place, and the other two rooms were vacant. The store manager was not in a hurry to rent them out, and even allowed Le An to use them at will when no one moved in.

Le'an has lived in it for nearly two years, but no one has moved in. She is equivalent to monopolizing a [-]-square-meter house, and the rent is far below the market average in this area because of the internal price of the employees.At first, Le An felt a little guilty, but later he realized that he had to deal with all the worries of the store manager with the salary of the barista, so he stopped struggling and settled down with peace of mind.

One room is her bedroom, and the other room is made into a coffee room by her, with relatively complete coffee equipment, so that she can practice and prepare for exams at home.

"This room has been vacant all the time. I asked Sister Yiqiu if she would like to move here, and she said that she was too used to moving there." Le An introduced from the door of the third room.

Tang Weiran looked around the entire suite. The decoration inside the room is very simple, and the things are neatly arranged without any mess. It can be seen that Le'an is really busy at work, and he must not stay at home for a long time.

She joked, "Wow, is your coffee shop still short of people?"

Le An also laughed, "It's missing, but you have to interview first."

"Are you the interviewer?" Tang Weiran giggled. She sat on the short sofa in the living room and watched Le An go around to pour water into the open kitchen.

"Yes, be stern and selfless, and don't open the back door." Le An put the water glass on the table in front of Tang Weiran, and patiently accompanied her in acting.

"Teacher Le, what is the content of the interview? Do you make coffee on the spot? But I don't know it at all."

Le An said, "I can teach you."

Tang Weiran picked up the water glass, pretending to be serious and said, "Didn't you say you can't open the back door?"

Le'an almost forgot about the character design, so he could only quibble, "Then open a window."

Tang Weiran was amused, she put down the water glass, thought for a while, "I'm really interested in learning how to make coffee, do you charge tuition?"

"Hmm..." Le An seemed to be really thinking, and then raised his eyebrows at her, "Why don't you give me some ideas?"

She deliberately made a frivolous expression, but her thick nasal voice made her look dull, especially wrapped in an inflatable down jacket, she looked like a little animal acting like a baby.

Tang Weiran couldn't help but take a second look.

Le An took off his hat, his hair was fluffy and messy, but the mess was very individual.She led Tang Weiran into the coffee room and introduced her beloved objects one by one.

The device called Ice Extraction looks like something from a chemical laboratory in a long memory. Its structure is complex and huge. Tang Weiran, a liberal arts student, doesn't understand it at all, but after listening to Le An's explanation, she finds it novel and interesting.

She looked around and looked at a pot for a long time but still didn't understand the reason, so she pointed to the small pot with a handle, "Then how do you cook this?"

Le An demonstrated, "This is a grinder, grab the handle and shake it by hand."

Tang Weiran was surprised, "How tiring is this? I see you use electric ones in the store."

"Drink a lot in the store." Le An handed it to her, "I drink less at home, so I won't be tired after getting used to it."

"No wonder you said you have great strength!" Tang Weiran stretched out his hand to pinch Le'an's right arm, and said curiously: "Oh, then you will have muscles..."

She stopped before she finished speaking, because the moment her hand touched Le An's arm, Le An froze, staring at her blankly, unable to tell whether it was surprise, panic or... . Mess.

In short, even Tang Weiran became confused, and began to reflect on whether his actions were a bit too much?But she obviously just squeezed her arm, isn't this an unusual contact?

Tang Weiran finally let go of his hand with a full face of apology, and changed the subject, "Then do you also make coffee at home?"

As soon as I asked, I thought it was nonsense. I already knew that Le An was preparing for a research certificate. Can I not practice?What's more, there is so much equipment at home.

Seeing Tang Weiran's embarrassment, Le An smiled, "I need to do more during practice, but I can't drink alone."

Tang Weiran blurted out as a matter of course, "That's easy, I'll help you consume what you can't finish!"

"You don't like coffee?"

"Is there? I never said that."

Le An breathed a sigh of relief, "...Because I think you only order fruit tea when you come to the store." But she immediately stopped being entangled, "Then you can come to the house often in the future, and I will treat you to a delicious drink coffee."

"Okay, do you have any book recommendations for getting started with coffee?"

Seeing her seriousness, Le An asked, "Do you really want to learn?"

Tang Weiran gripped the bean grinder in his hand tightly, "I want to learn more knowledge. Now if you are a self-media person who is a panacea, you have to know everything... By the way, Le'an."

Le An raised his head, "Huh?"

"What do you think of me being a KOL?"

Le An looked at her, bit his lower lip, and stopped talking.

The air was quiet for a few seconds, and Tang Weiran broke the freeze with a smile, "Don't look at me like this, you can't think that I'm actually a blogger with a small amount of traffic on the Internet, although you might not get me? Haha."

Le'an seems to rely on her natural beauty and always looks up to the sky. Tang Weiran can see that she will only go to the nail salon to get her eyebrows trimmed when she is dying. The chance of getting involved in her world on the Internet is definitely zero.

"I believe it. You are so beautiful."

No woman would be unhappy if she was praised, Tang Weiran tilted her head and moved closer to her, "Do you think I look good?"

Le An nodded, "It's pretty."

"It's made up." Tang Weiran teased her, "I'll scare you to death when you take off your makeup."

Le An was full of disbelief, and the two of them returned to the topic after laughing. Le An asked her, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​doing this? Is it a career change for you?"

"Didn't you say that you won't regret it if you stick to your interest?"

"Ah." Le'an covered his head and pretended to be strange, "After all, I missed you..."

Tang Weiran flicked her forehead with a smile, "Speak well!"

Le'an laughed again, her voice was still hoarse, she cleared her throat, and finally said seriously, "Now that the limelight of the newborn has passed, a large-scale and stable operation model has been made, and I want to break through the barriers and fight against it from scratch. The accounts supported by the platform are very risky."

Tang Weiran didn't expect that Le'an was only obsessed with coffee, but he had some insights into this business, and immediately looked at her differently: "So, it's difficult, isn't it?"

"It's difficult, but you like it." Le'an pursed her lips, and she thought for a while before saying, "Maybe it will fail in eight or nine out of ten, but 'money is hard to buy, I like it'."

Tang Weiran let out a snort, her abdomen was cramped and hurt, she pushed Le'an and said angrily, "Are you here to encourage me or to discourage me?"

Le An blinked innocently, "Am I hitting you?"

Tang Weiran looked at her for a long time, with a hidden smile in his eyes, "A little bit, but you are the only one who tells me I like it."

Le An touched the side of his reddened ear, "...Sister Yiqiu will definitely say the same."

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.Dong Yiqiu called, and Tang Weiran set a special ringtone for her, and the theme song of Pleasant Goat rang loudly in his pocket.

With Dong Yiqiu's call, Le'an had to accompany him even with his sick body.It happened to be meal time, and the three of them made an appointment to meet at a food stall. Dong Yiqiu originally wanted to drink, but after a while, one didn't drink alcohol, and the other was seriously ill. No one could accompany her. up.

She usually looks at Da Lala without pretending in her heart, but after all, people who are engaged in literature and art are a little sensitive.Dong Yiqiu’s predecessor actually had a showdown with her 800 years ago, and even Le’an knew about the fact that she sent old things to tease her after the split, and even received several couriers for her, but Dong Yiqiu has not really left until now. come out.

Tang Weiran has experienced Dong Yiqiu's repeated complaints, and knows that she is much more fragile than himself, and her heart is much softer, otherwise she would not be willing to linger with the same Kaner.

"Come on, let's celebrate!"

Dong Yiqiu was holding a glass full of Sprite to touch Tang Weiran's glass, and then hooked his chin towards Le'an.

Le An picked up the teacup and bumped it with her.

Tang Weiran propped his chin and smiled, "What are you celebrating?"

"Congratulations, I have nothing to do with her!"

Tang Weiran hurriedly clinked glasses with her, "That's for celebration, our teacher Dong wiped his glasses clean."

Dong Yiqiu didn't like her run, she drank a mouthful of Sprite, and hiccupped, "I received a WeChat application today, it was a little girl, underage, I checked Moments, wow! Crystal! "

Tang Weiran took a mouthful of food, ate while listening, and joked after swallowing, "Ms. Dong is going to accumulate writing materials in the chant?"

"What!" Dong Yiqiu rolled her eyes, and put one hand on Le An's arm to hold it down. She felt uncomfortable without touching something with her hands when she was giving a speech.

Tang Weiran looked over, only to realize that Le'an was left-handed. She seemed to be hungry, and ignored her surroundings, focusing on fighting a chicken frame.

"This little beauty is a cheerful person. After passing the pass, she sent me a picture directly. It's the kind of heart-shaped pendant, you know? You can customize the photo inside, and the kind of 12 yuan a dozen in the very rustic wholesale market."

"And then?" Tang Weiran scooped up a meatball with a public spoon.

"Guess what? Inside is a photo of me and that person," Dong Yiqiu burst out laughing at this point, patted Le'an's arm hard, and said with a smile, "Then who, who is estimated Filled in the wrong address and sent it to that little beauty, I laughed so hard!"

Ah... outrageous!

Tang Weiran reached out and patted her on the back.

Dong Yiqiu had enough of laughing at herself, and made a final concluding speech for her several unpleasant love experiences: "Talk to men, sad, talk to women, sad liver spleen lung kidney eyes ear nose throat mouth."

Tang Weiran gritted her chopsticks and twitched, "How about doing surgery here?"

Dong Yiqiu waved his big hand boldly, ended the topic, stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Tang Weiran nodded at her, biting open the meatball at the same time, unexpectedly the meatball was wrapped in the heart, the hot juice inside exploded on her tongue, it was so hot that she either spit it out or swallowed it.

Le'an, who was cooking with his head down, seemed to have eyes on his head, immediately put down his chopsticks, took several pieces of paper from the table, spread them on his hands, and put them to Tang Weiran's mouth.

Um?Tang Weiran puffed up his cheeks and looked at her suspiciously.

Le An raised the hand next to his mouth again.

Tang Weiran had no choice but to hook the long hair that fell from his ears, slightly opened his lips, and spit out all the meatballs that were bitten into pieces and still had soup on the paper towel.

Le An withdrew her hand, rolled the tissue into a ball, and placed it on her own pelvis.

"Ha..." Tang Weiran breathed out with the tip of his tongue out.

Strangely, it was her tongue that was burned, but her ears felt hot.

"Eat slowly."

Tang Weiran lowered his head to avoid her sight, "Okay."

Le An continued to wrestle with the chicken rack, and Tang Weiran also immersed herself in eating the slightly cold dish in the bowl. After several mouthfuls, she thought of something, lowered her head and took out a wet wipe from her carry-on bag, put it on the table and pushed it with her index finger. In the past, "You wipe your hands."

Le'an said, "It's okay...OK, thank you." She still tore open the package and wiped her palm symbolically.

Dong Yiqiu came back, she took out a tissue, and wiped off her damp hands after soaking in water.

Tang Weiran coughed lightly, and changed the subject, "Yiqiu, I have interviewed with several companies recently, but none of them are satisfactory. How about I do self-media? Just use my current account."

"You?" Dong Yiqiu picked up the chopsticks again, she thought for a while and shook her head, "But why bother, if you have the opportunity to enter a big factory, you insist on starting your own business, and your mother won't blame you?"

Tang Weiran gave Le An a look, Le An also bowed his head and laughed.

Dong Yiqiu patted himself on the chest, and continued, "And look, I'm already a self-employed loser in front of you, why are you going so hard to find the south wall?"

Tang Weiran didn't take it seriously, "I see you are doing well, you have meat to eat and wine to drink."

"Hi," Dong Yiqiu swallowed the food in his mouth, frowned and said in the tone of a person who came here: "Your pursuit is to earn food and clothing?"

Tang Weiran sighed, she was almost convinced, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Le'an's gaze, which was full of firmness and confidence that she didn't even dare to have.
