Chapter 16: Offering a Crown of Love, No Comparison, No Hurt



"Just a little bit."

When Qin Ran said this, Yang Shanghua was stunned.

He brought the topic to Qin Ran, not really wanting to know if Qin Ran could make latte art.

It wasn't that he wanted to embarrass Qin Ran. In fact, he didn't take Qin Ran too seriously.

Although what Qin Ran said just now did make him a little unhappy.

His main purpose was to indirectly praise Fang Yunsheng and divert his attention.

His assistant can indeed make latte art, and his technique is pretty good.

But he couldn't possibly say that his assistant's latte art skills were really better than Fang Yunsheng's.

So he changed the topic to Kieran.

By the way, suppress Su Qingmo.

Instead of blaming you, blame your assistant.

But Yang Shanghua didn't expect Qin Ran to be able to make latte art.

Fang Yunsheng was also stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why not let this young man show me his skills so I can learn from him?"

There was a hint of doubt in Su Qingmo's beautiful eyes.

Kieran smiled and nodded, "My skills are just average."

"It's okay, we're all in the same boat, so let's learn from each other." Fang Yunsheng said kindly, as if putting Qin Ran in the same position.

But it seems more like he is showing his kindness and being humble.

Kieran didn't want to delve into it, so he stood up and walked around to the back of the bar.

"Miss, do you have refrigerated whole milk?"

"Yes, I'll get it for you."

"Thank you." Qin Ran looked at the steam temperature of the automatic coffee machine. It was high enough to make milk foam.

The three of them were still chatting, but they kept glancing at Kieran from the corner of their eyes, wondering whether Kieran would do it or not.

Qin Ran rolled up his sleeves and calmly cleaned the latte art jar.

In fact, Qin Ran really knows a little bit.

In his previous life, one of his roommates was a barista with great skills.

He also bought a small coffee machine, and Kieran learned how to make it for a while.

That roommate is not only pretty, but also good at making latte art.

It is said that making latte art is like painting, using milk foam as a pen and coffee as paper to paint on.

Qin Ran studied hard for a period of time, and even though he hadn't touched it for a long time, the memory of latte art was still fresh in his mind.

In order to practice, they drank so much coffee that they were so excited that they couldn't sleep. It was many memorable nights.

It’s a pity that the girl didn’t continue to be a barista, but became a host and moved away.

After that, they lost contact, and Qin Ran didn't know whether the girl had opened a coffee shop that he liked.

Qin Ran sighed a little. The girl's craftsmanship was really good. Her fingers were slender and long, and she took good care of them, so they were white, tender and smooth.

......

"Give."

The girl at the bar handed Kieran a large box of refrigerated milk, interrupting the latter's thoughts.

"Do you need my help?" the girl asked in a low voice.

Kieran was a little surprised, smiled and shook his head, lowering his voice and saying, "I really can, but thank you anyway."

"Yeah, come on."

Qin Ran smiled. This girl is quite interesting.

"What's your name?"

"Xu Yingying."

"Kiran."

Kieran held out his hand.

Xu Yingying was stunned for a moment, as if she had not expected Qin Ran to be so formal as to even ask for a handshake.

But soon she stretched out her white and tender palm.

Qin Ran shook it gently and smiled.

Xu Yingying lowered her head shyly, her cheeks flushed.

Quite shy.

Qin Ran stopped teasing Xu Yingying, wiped the cup clean, and let out some steam first.

Then I made two shots of espresso and started preparing latte art.

Whether latte art is successful actually depends on how well the milk foam is made.

Qin Ran poured two-thirds of whole milk into the latte art cup.

Whole milk has a higher fat content and is more suitable for latte art.

The small boxes sold in general supermarkets are not very suitable.

Qin Ran tilted the latte art cup, and steam continued to gush out from the hole.

The noise caused the three of them to interrupt their conversation and look at Qin Ran who was about to make latte art.

Xu Yingying, who was standing by, seemed even more nervous than Qin Ran. She leaned her head forward and watched the milk rising as it swirled.

Qin Ran felt that the temperature was about right, so he stopped.

There was very little foam floating up, and it was a success at once.

Xu Yingying smiled and was no longer nervous. She could see that Qin Ran really knew how to make coffee.

“Amazing!”

Qin Ran winked at Xu Yingying, who blushed but did not avoid his gaze.

Next is the time to show your skills.

Qin Ran calmed down, held the latte art cup steadily, and poured the freshly frothed milk into it.

Pour, press down, push forward, swing, finish, and turn the cup.

Done in one go.

A white tulip blooms on the golden coffee canvas!

Xu Yingying clapped quietly, "So beautiful!"

Kieran placed the coffee cup on the saucer and said, "Help me carry it."

"good."

Xu Yingying took it carefully, walked out of the bar and looked back at Qin Ran, not knowing who to give it to first.

Qin Ran mouthed silently, "Mr. Fang."

On someone else's territory, of course, give it to the owner first.

Moreover, Qin Ran's cup was exactly the tulip latte art that Fang Yunsheng wanted to learn.

The three of them looked at the coffee cup that Xu Yingying put down, and the expressions in their eyes were different.

Yang Shanghua was very surprised. He didn't expect that Qin Ran not only knew how to make latte art, but also knew a little bit. His latte art skills were obviously better than his assistant's.

He wouldn't lie with his eyes open, and he wouldn't say anything good.

That would only make Fang Yunsheng embarrassed and appear to be ignorant of the ways of the world.

Yang Shanghua mentally labeled Qin Ran a newbie in the workplace.

He doesn't understand the workplace at all and doesn't hide his shortcomings.

If he were to do it, even if he could, he would never be able to play better than Fang Yunsheng.
