The rural daughter-in-law of the bank president

Chapter 391 Familiar Taste

Lele remained calm and replied, "Yes."

"Are you going on a business trip tomorrow?" Lin Xianglan's face darkened again.

"Well, I've been traveling every week, so it's been very busy this year."

Lin Xianglan took Lele's hand and said, "Eat well. You'll be standing for several hours. I'm really worried that you'll get hurt."

"I've been sitting down to give lectures lately. I know my limits. My classes are interactive, so it's easier to manage the amount of time I spend standing."

Lin Xianglan nodded and said no more.

Lele accompanied her silently and covered Lin Xianglan's hand with his other hand.

In Lele’s childhood memories, Lin Xianglan still loved to laugh.

She didn't know when it started, but she always frowned and felt melancholy.

After Lele and Wei Wuya got married?

Children will eventually grow up and become the center of power in the family, becoming the "head of the family" in the new family.

Parents feel unloved and no longer needed, and loneliness ensues.

At noon, watching Lin Xianglan walk away, Lele felt a bitter sense of victory.

Yes, with the change of family power, it also means the aging of parents!

However, Lin Xianglan is only fifty-five, and she is of the same zodiac sign as Lele and Wei Wuya.

Life still has one-third to go!

Perhaps tempted by the coffee, Lin Xianglan sat for a while, then stood up and said, "Let's go upstairs first!"

Lele took Lin Xianglan's arm and took the coffee beans with her.

The coffee beans are packed in storage bags with a one-way valve.

The two men didn't wait for Wei Wuya and went to move things by themselves.

Coffee grinder, a small electronic scale, filter, sifter, filter cup, siphon pot, pour-over pot, sharing pot...

After going downstairs, the two of them started tinkering.

"I'm not very good at it either, let's give it a try." Lele placed the things one by one on the bar.

Arrange them in order according to the steps.

First put down the scale, took the coffee bean storage bag, and poured out 10g of coffee beans.

Put the weighed beans into the amber Italian hand-cranked grinder.

Lele handed the coffee machine to Lin Xianglan, "You come!"

Lin Xianglan grabbed the gyro-shaped handle and started grinding it.

He grinded and laughed, "This is quite fun."

Lele opened his phone and picked out a 0.85mm standard sieve.

After Lin Xianglan finishes grinding, place the ground coffee powder on the sieve on the upper layer of the powder sifter.

"You shake it. Shake it hard!" Lele handed the powder sifter to Lin Xianglan.

Lin Xianglan shook the cup vigorously up and down, left and right, like shaking a dice cup.

Lin Xianglan laughed, "Making coffee is such a hassle."

"The trouble is yet to come! Do you plan to use a siphon pot or pour over?" Lele asked.

"What's the difference?"

"For a pour-over, you need a three-stage pour. For a siphon pot, it's a little more mechanized."

"Hand pour!" Lin Xianglan put down the powder sifter in her hand, "Where should I put this powder?"

Lele took the filter cup, and Lin Xianglan poured the sifted coffee powder from the bottom layer into the filter cup.

Lele read out the water injection method on his phone: "First step, gently inject 30 grams of water and steam for 30 seconds."

"Tsk, so troublesome. How do I measure 30 grams of water?" Lin Xianglan frowned.

"Yes, look at that transparent cup, it has a scale." Lin Xianglan took a closer look and saw a shallow scale.

"Where's the water? Is it boiling water?"

"88 degrees! Haha, so accurate. I don't have a thermometer here."

"Yes, I bought it before to make milk for Moyuan. I'll get it." Lin Xianglan said as she walked around to the bar and quickly took out a thermometer.

Boil water, measure the water temperature, and start brewing coffee.

Lele folded the filter paper into a trumpet shape and stuck it on the coffee filter cup.

"You pour the water and I'll time it." Lele handed the kettle to Lin Xianglan.

"How do I add water?" Lin Xianglan asked excitedly, holding the kettle.

“Pour it into the center of the coffee bed, moving in a circular motion from the inside out, and then, while the water is flowing continuously, move it back to the center from the outside.”

Lin Xianglan poured the water slowly and carefully.

As soon as the water touches the coffee, the rich coffee aroma hits your nose and fine and dense bubbles cover the coffee powder.

Lin Xianglan poured the water while sniffing hard.

"fragrant!"

“......28, 29, 30, okay!” Lele’s timing was also over.

"Now, start in a small circle from the center and work your way out. 125g of water, almost to the grounds."

Lin Xianglan continued to pour water.

“Alright, alright! Wait until the coffee grounds are halfway down the filter cup, then add water to the 225g mark.

Once all dripping is complete, remove the filter cup. The extraction time is 2 minutes, starting from the time the water is added.

You pour, I count."

Lin Xianglan started pouring water, and Lele looked at his watch.

"Add it slowly, making sure the coffee powder rolls around so that all the particles deposited underneath dissolve."

"Are you ready?" Lin Xianglan asked.

"Yeah, okay, pick a coffee cup!"

Lin Xianglan picked up a pair of green gradient coffee cups from the bar, washed them, and placed them on the table.

Lele shook the coffee in the sharing pot evenly and poured it into the coffee cup.

A rich brown coffee with a rich chocolate aroma.

Lin Xianglan couldn't help it, picked it up and took a sip.

"How is it?" Lele was very curious.

Lin Xianglan narrowed her eyes and asked, "Would you like to try it?"

Lele directly took Lin Xianglan's coffee cup and took a sip from the other side.

"Hmm, the chocolate aroma is rich, with a slight aftertaste of almonds."

"It also has the flavor of freshly roasted hazelnuts, a little sour."

Just a small sip, the aroma lingers in the mouth and lasts for a long time.

Lin Xianglan didn't say anything else, just sipped her coffee.

After drinking it, he still felt unsatisfied.

"I just remember that this taste is very familiar, but I don't remember where I have tasted it before." Lin Xianglan looked at the pile of tools on the bar.

"Haha, did it awaken your old memories?"

Lele started to clean the tools. "I'll print out the steps later. If you want to drink it later, you can grind it yourself."

"Yeah, quite interesting." Lin Xianglan seemed to still be lost in her memories.

When Wei Qifeng and the others came up, Lin Xianglan and Lele were already chatting on the sofa.

Lele is not a coffee lover, he just drinks it occasionally.

"If you have nothing to do, you can go out and have a look. Coffee culture is quite popular now. However, most of them are instant coffee. If you want to find handmade coffee, go to a small shop."

"Trouble!" Lin Xianglan returned to her lazy state and leaned on the sofa.

"Haha." Lele smiled and said nothing more.

Mo Yuan sniffed: "Mommy, it smells so good!"

Wei Wuya stared at Lele, "Grandma and Mommy, what delicious food do you want to eat?"

"Coffee? Want some?"

"I don't want it. I can't sleep if I drink it!" Wei Wuya sat down at the tea table, "I'd rather drink tea."

Lele sighed, “It’s strange, tea and coffee, some people can’t sleep after drinking tea, and some people can’t sleep after drinking coffee.

Some people sleep soundly no matter what they drink! "
