Chapter 26 Purchasing Coffee
One cup of coffee for all?
That's quite arrogant.
There are not many varieties of coffee in this Old Time Coffee Shop.
But when you add it all up, it's at least five figures.
The most expensive one costs more than 8,000 yuan per cup.
After being shocked, the waiter asked cautiously, "Sir, are you sure? There are only two of you. Isn't that too much?"
I, Shao Yuan, said calmly, "OK, place your order. Oh, and bring me another pot of boiled water, two cups, and a glass basin. I need to rinse my mouth."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
The waiter put away the menu and immediately ran to find the manager.
When the guests around saw the waiter leave, they immediately took out their mobile phones and took pictures.
I, Shao Yuan, ignored the gazes and cameras of the people around me.
Let Siyi take out his live broadcast equipment from his backpack.
It's actually a cell phone holder.
Then he opened his live broadcast account and started live streaming.
When the people around saw Shao Yuan's posture, they understood instantly.
It feels like I'm doing a live broadcast.
No wonder it was so exaggerated, ordering all the coffee.
Then, those guests moved on and stopped paying attention.
There are too many live broadcasts now, and those hosts often do exaggerated things for the sake of attention.
Therefore, many people are not surprised.
The name of my account Shao Yuan is Royal Super Purchasing Agent.
Why is it called the Royal Family? Because my nickname for Shao Yuan is Your Majesty.
There is no way around it. The surname "朕" is generally used by ancient emperors to refer to themselves.
Therefore, many people have called him "Your Majesty" since he was a child.
Naturally, the nickname "Your Majesty" came into being.
Following Yu Shan's instructions, after adjusting the angle of the phone, I, Shao Yuan, began waiting for people to enter the live broadcast room.
Not to mention, the live broadcast platform will provide some traffic for new live broadcast users.
Even if it's just a little bit, it's invaluable to newcomers.
So, as soon as I, Shao Yuan, started live streaming, several people came in within a minute.
The two people who came in were immediately attracted by Shao Yuan's handsome face.
"Oh my god, this anchor is pretty good-looking."
"Little brother is so handsome."
"This jawline is amazing."
In response to the praise from people in the live broadcast room, I, Shao Yuan, said thank you.
"Ahhhh, the little brother's voice is so nice too."
"Royal Super Purchasing Agent? The name is self-explanatory. Is the anchor a purchasing agent?"
After seeing the inquiry, Zhen Shao Yuan replied, "Yes, I'm a purchasing agent. I'm currently at the Old Times Coffee Shop in downtown Lancheng, purchasing coffee today."
"Buying coffee?"
"Can't you just order coffee takeout? Why do you need to buy it on behalf of someone else? This is the first time I've heard of this."
I, Shao Yuan, did not say anything. After all, this was really hard to explain.
Because there are so many takeouts now.
Many high-end restaurants also offer takeout.
So, buying coffee on behalf of others sounds like something that is not right in the brain.
Therefore, I, Shao Yuan, simply won’t explain.
The boiled water that Shao Yuan ordered, as well as two glasses and a glass basin, were brought up.
I want to taste the real flavor of coffee and give the most authentic rating.
You have to rinse your mouth every time you taste a cup of coffee.
I, Shao Yuan, am very responsible for my work.
Si Yi stood up, walked to the side of Zhen Shao Yuan, picked up the kettle, and poured a glass of water for Zhen Shao Yuan.
It just so happened that the angle he was standing at was right in front of the camera.
It was seen clearly by the people in the live broadcast room.
The two people in the live broadcast room quickly became curious.
"Anchor, anchor, who is that handsome guy? He's so handsome."
"Sure enough, all the handsome guys' friends are handsome guys."
Before I, Shao Yuan, could speak, Si Yi had already seen the words on the phone screen.
He put down the kettle in his hand and said, "Hello, I am the young master's housekeeper, my name is Si Yi."
"Master, butler?"
"Oh my god, why does he bring a butler? Is the host the son of a wealthy family?"
"Isn't the anchor a purchasing agent? Is this another scripted anchor?"
"What's going on? Is this the script anchor? Is he preparing to play the role of a rich young master now?"
Just at this moment, three waiters came up with the coffee that Shao Yuan ordered.
Soon, the table was filled with coffee.
The waiter bowed slightly and said, "Sir, this is the regular coffee you ordered. The high coffee will be served shortly."
I, Shao Yuan, nodded slightly, "Okay, thank you."
Ordinary coffee is hand-ground coffee.
Gaoka is hand-ground coffee that is relatively expensive and very rare.
High-end coffee is usually only available in high-end coffee shops.
Like the coffee shop where Zhen Shaoyuan worked before, it only had some ordinary, common varieties of coffee.
After all, some rarer coffee beans are very expensive.
It cannot be purchased without a specific channel.
At this time, the people in the live broadcast room were curious when they saw the table full of coffee.
"Anchor, anchor, why did you buy so much coffee?"
"Blue City Old Times Cafe? I've been there before. So much coffee, it must have cost several thousand, right?"
Zhen Shao Yuan took a look and replied, "I ordered a copy here. What does a copy mean? It means I want a cup of every coffee on the menu. And I will rate all the coffees. I will only buy coffees with a score of over 8."
After saying that, I, Shao Yuan, picked up one of the cups of coffee and smelled it first.
Then he took a sip without adding anything else.
When the people in the live broadcast room heard that Shao Yuan had actually ordered all the coffee in the cafe, they were shocked.
I was suddenly surprised.
"The anchor must be lying. Judging from the decoration of the cafe, the coffee must be expensive. If they order all the coffee, it won't cost several thousand, right?"
"What do you mean by several thousand? I happen to have been to that coffee shop before. It's the most famous coffee shop in Blue City. The most expensive cup of coffee there costs eight thousand."
"Eight thousand? That's so expensive? It can't be true, right?"
"The waiter just said that these are just some ordinary coffee shops. There are still some high-end coffee shops that haven't been served yet. Either the anchor is collaborating with the owner of the coffee shop to put on a show, or the anchor is the local tycoon."
"Come on, the anchor only has one follower, and that's what I gave him. If the owner of the coffee shop wants to put on a show with an anchor who only has one follower, then he must be crazy."
"Now the number of followers is 2, and I have also clicked to follow."
…
The aroma of coffee is not strong enough when you smell it up close.
Take another sip, and the unique bitterness of coffee spreads on the tip of your tongue.
When I, Shao Yuan, worked in a coffee shop before, I tried many kinds of coffee.
You can also tell the quality of coffee.
Good coffee has a strong aroma, and each variety of coffee has a slightly different aroma. Ordinary coffee has a very strong bitter taste when you first drink it.
Although high-quality coffee may have a bitter taste, it will be very mellow.
The bitterness of this cup of coffee now has overshadowed the aroma of the coffee.
"This coffee has average coffee beans, so the ground coffee is also average. The bitterness is too much, and the aroma is not enough. I give it a 4."
Zhen Shao Yuan put down the coffee, and Si Yi immediately moved the coffee to the corner.
This means that this cup of coffee is out of stock.
Afterwards, I Shao Yuan picked up the cup of water, rinsed my mouth, and then tasted another cup of white coffee with milk.
Because milk is added to white □□, when you drink it, it is not only full of milk flavor but also does not hurt your stomach.
"Although this white coffee has milk, there's too much milk, and the milky aroma overwhelms the coffee's aroma. Even so, it can't mask the flaws of the coffee beans. I can only give this cup a 5."
"You asked me how many points I need to pass?"
"Of course it's a 6. My sense of taste is more sensitive than most people. So I can taste flavors that most people can't taste."
I, Shao Yuan, was chatting with people in the live broadcast room while tasting cup after cup of coffee.
From ordinary coffee to high coffee.
There are more than thirty kinds of coffee in total.
Finally, there are only eleven types of coffee that reach the score of 8 in Shao Yuan’s mind.
Among them, nine are high-end.
So, there is a reason why it is expensive.
Expensive coffee is indeed better than ordinary coffee.
Si Yi wrote down the names of the eleven kinds of coffee in a small notebook he carried with him, then tore off the page of writing and handed it to the waiter beside him.
"Pack up all the coffee here and take it away."
"Okay, then these..."
The waiter looked at the table full of coffee.
I, Shao Yuan, waved my hand and said, "Everyone, retreat."
I've tried so many coffees, even if it's just a sip. Then rinse my mouth.
But I, Shao Yuan, still don't feel well. My tongue feels bitter.
Soon the waiter took away all the coffee.
After the eleven cups of coffee were packed, the manager of the cafe came over in person with a card machine.
"Sir, your total bill is 23,520 yuan. I'll round off the difference and charge you 23,500 yuan. Would you like to pay by mobile phone or card?"
"Wait a mininute."
I, Shao Yuan, looked at the phone screen.
At this time, there were already more than two hundred people watching the live broadcast in the live broadcast room.
Hearing that I, Shao Yuan, spent more than 20,000 yuan, everyone was wondering whether I, Shao Yuan, would pay for it.
"I'm ready to pay. Does anyone want me to buy coffee for them? If not, I'll just pay."
"But you need to come and pick up the things I bought for you."
Although I, Shao Yuan, know that it is impossible to buy coffee at this time.
But I still asked.
After all, he will basically follow this procedure in the future.
No matter how many people there are.
When the people in the live broadcast room heard that Shao Yuan actually asked if they wanted to buy coffee on their behalf, they all laughed.
"Purchasing coffee on someone else's behalf? Host, you don't have the money to pay, so you're making excuses to delay things, right?"
"Yeah, wouldn't it be better to just order takeout if you want coffee? Why would I ask you to buy it from Blue City?"
"If you're out of money, I can pay you. Don't make excuses."
"Since the anchor is so pleasing to the eye, I'm willing to pay you. But I want to watch the anchor dance, is that okay?"
"Fuck, are all the people upstairs rich? They just give over 20,000 yuan just like that?"
"It seems that the host is not hired by the store. A coffee worth more than 20,000 yuan is quite expensive. If the host can't afford it, he should just go with the aunt and uncle upstairs."
"He even brought a butler with him, and he can't even afford a cup of coffee that costs over 20,000 yuan? It seems like he's really just a scripted anchor. The acting is okay, but please bring enough money next time before you go live."
…
The store manager stood aside, watching that Shao Yuan was still not paying, and then saw the words typed by those people on the mobile phone screen.
His face darkened a little.
I, Shao Yuan, ignored the mocking words of those people.
Since no one asked me to help buy the goods, I, Shao Yuan, did not wait any longer.
"Swipe card. No password."
I, Shao Yuan, handed over the black card given by the system.
The store manager immediately took the black card and swiped it directly on the card machine, fearing that if he was a step slower, I, Shao Yuan, would be unwilling to pay the bill.
With a "beep", the ticket was issued.
Seeing that the card swipe was successful, the store manager was obviously relieved.
It's no wonder he acted like this. In fact, it was the first time he met such a generous customer who ordered all the coffee in the store.
In addition, Zhen Shao Yuan was doing a live broadcast and commenting on the coffee in their shop from time to time.
The store manager was also afraid that he would find excuses to find fault and be unwilling to pay.
The moment the card was swiped successfully, I, Shao Yuan, heard the system prompt.
"Congratulations, host, for completing the mission. I'm rewarding you with a free voucher for the Ancient Building. This voucher is valid for 24 hours, please use it as soon as possible."
