Tokyo Police

Vol 12 Chapter 48: The philosophy of coffee

"Excuse me... can I have another expresso?"

"I'm really sorry, I've used up all the Geisha baked today..."

"Ah...Is that so? That's such a pity, I would like to try the cappuccino you made?"

"I'm really sorry, these coffee beans were obtained by a dealer I was familiar with in the past, and the original quantity was not too many. So... I can only let everyone try it!"

Hearing the final reply from the proprietress, the guests who were still looking forward to it could not help but sigh in disappointment. After all, no one would have thought that such a delicious coffee could be drunk in such a newly opened cafe. But once you drink this cup of coffee, the mesmerizing aroma and aftertaste of the taste are immediately deeply imprinted in your mind. I'm afraid that no matter where I go to drink coffee in the future, I can't help but compare it with today's coffee.

"It looks like today's harvest is still quite big? How many people welcome your coffee!"

Lin Xiuyi looked at Sakurako, who was a little relieved after explaining the reason to the guests, and was sincerely happy for her.

"Unfortunately, these people are all here for those precious Geisha. Without those precious coffee beans, I don't think those guests would come to the door again."

Yingzi pouted to Lin Xiuyi, and replied with some regret, Yingzi knew very well in her heart that her generosity just now was just a loss for money. I am afraid that the profits I made today are even those coffee beans. You can't get your money back!

"Madam, you are too modest. In fact, your coffee is already very rare!"

Just when Lin Xiuyi didn't know how to comfort Sakurako, Urashima, who had never said anything, suddenly encouraged Sakurako.

"Eh... Urashima-kun also likes coffee?"

As soon as Lin Xiu heard Urashima's sudden words, he couldn't help but asked curiously.

"No, the police department! It's just that when I was studying abroad, I was fortunate enough to work as a volunteer in Ethiopia for a period of time. It really deserves to be the origin of coffee. Almost everyone's life is inseparable from coffee, even me This person who seldom drinks coffee has also learned a lot about coffee from the locals…”

"Eh? Is Ethiopia the origin of coffee? ... But why do I think South American coffee is more famous?"

Hearing what Urashima said, Miki asked in surprise.

"Mr. Urashima is right. Ethiopia is indeed the origin of coffee. Almost 99% of the world's coffee beans come from Ethiopia. It is a veritable coffee kingdom!"

Sakurako heard Miki's question, so she explained it seriously.

"Kumashima-kun, I'm a little curious, how do Ethiopians drink coffee? Since it is the origin of coffee, the coffee made by the locals must be very delicious, right?"

When Lin Xiu heard Pu Daojun talking about an experience in Ethiopia, he couldn't help but ask about the coffee drinking habits of the locals.

"You may not believe it, but the coffee made by Ethiopians is far worse than Miss Sakurako's craftsmanship!"

"Eh?"

"No way!"

"Isn't that the country of origin?"

Hearing Urashima's unexpected answer, Lin Shuichi, Miki, and even Sakurako couldn't help but feel very surprised.

"What I'm saying is true, the coffee there is really far from the coffee I drink in Japan, it's just like the difference between clouds and mud!"

"In my opinion, the process of making coffee in Ethiopia is really rough. The roasting process of coffee beans is simply roasted directly on an iron plate. When the test is almost done, they use a stone pestle and stone mortar to roast the coffee. The beans are smashed into powder, and the subsequent brewing process is almost the same as when we usually brew tea, so how can the coffee produced like this taste good?”

"However, it's completely different here. Because Japan basically can't produce coffee, everyone cherishes this imported product, and feels that everyone must give full play to the delicious taste of coffee so as not to live up to it so difficult. The idea of ​​​​obtaining the coffee beans that can only be obtained is precisely with this belief that we will sit in the elegantly decorated cafe and use various special tools to maximize the taste of coffee..."

"Eh... Urashima-san, it sounds really inspired!"

When Sakurako heard Urashima's opinion, she couldn't help but say with emotion. And when Lin Xiu heard the words of the fall, he changed his impression of Urashima in the past, and began to look at him with admiration.

"Ah... I feel like I accidentally said something great! That... Won't everyone be offended?"

Urashima saw that everyone was looking at him in surprise, so he replied a little embarrassedly to everyone.

"No, I think Urashima-kun's words have inspired me very much!"

Lin Xiuyi smiled and replied to his subordinates.

"Me too, I feel like I benefited a lot from Urashima-kun's words at once!"

Miki nodded in agreement.

Sakurako looked at everyone with a smile, but a brilliant idea suddenly appeared in her heart.

"Since the opening of Sakura no Sato, Sakurako has been struggling with how to obtain high-quality coffee that can be supplied stably. Although the quality of Niagara is high, it is impossible for a small cafe like Sakura no Sato to obtain stable coffee. However, if cheap coffee beans are used, Sakura no Sato will lose its distinctiveness due to the mediocre taste. In this way, perhaps Ethiopia, the country of origin of coffee, will be a good choice.”

Seeing that after a cup of coffee was finished, everyone sat and chatted for a long time. Since it was time to get off work, Lin Xiuyi no longer kept Urashima and Miki. After all, there is more important work to do tomorrow.

"Miki-chan, I saw the situation of the Yonezawa family in the hospital today. It seems that we won't be able to obtain Mrs. Yonezawa's confession in a short time. Why don't we go to the Yonezawa's house tomorrow and ask around the house? Does my neighbor have any impression of the Yonezawa family being defrauded?"

Just when Miki and Urashima were about to leave, Li Xiuyi suddenly explained to them tomorrow's task. Miki and Urashima carefully wrote down Lin Xiuyi's arrangements, and then got into the car and said goodbye to Lin Xiuyi. And Lin Xiuyi plans to take Sakurako's car to the TV station to pick up Akimi and Reina back, to celebrate the opening of Sakura no Sato...
