Chapter 53 – Yirgacheffe And Outspoken
However, although Yan Xiaopei looked at Yang Yi affectionately, Yang Yi didn’t understand. He clapped his hands, and went straight to the bar, which was his own world.
“Buy you coffee, of course, it’s no problem!”
Xixi was still a little smug looking at her beautiful appearance in the glass partition. When she saw her father go, she also hurriedly jumped down from the sofa and followed him.
Tens of thousands of amperes of current was left in the air. Yan Xiaopei glanced at Yang Yi’s back a little bit of resentment. She looked back at Yan Yingkai, who was staring at her shoes, and reached out to pull him. (TN: I have no idea what the tens of thousands of amperes of current means. If I have to guess, she was trying to create sparks between them but it was completely ignored.)
However, the little guy, who was in a bad mood, refused. He avoided his mother’s hand, straightened his neck and walked ahead.
“You go play with Sister Xixi. As a big brother, you should take good care of Sister Xixi…” Yan Xiaopei didn’t lose her temper, but gently persuaded him.
Xixi went ahead and took her seat. It was the one closest to her father among the high chairs in front of the bar! Although it was a bit high, Xixi still climbed it up. The little girl’s athletic talent was quite high!
“I want to drink too!” Xixi looked at her father eagerly.
Yang Yi apologetically gestured to Yan Xiaopei, who sat down next to him, and then said to Xixi, “You can’t drink coffee yet. Papa will give you milk to drink!”
It was actually not possible for Xixi to drink coffee. She had asked for it before. However, when Yang Yi gave her a sip, the little girl never mentioned drinking coffee again!
Because Yang Yi, this guy, was just too bad, he gave Xixi the drink that has the most bitter and astringent taste, ESPRESSO. Yang Yi himself thought that it has the most authentic coffee taste, but people who do not drink coffee will find it more bitter than traditional Chinese medicine! (TN: Just too bad – doesn’t know what he was doing/clueless)
Poor little Xixi…
“Okay!” Xixi twisted her little butt, looking for the most comfortable position, holding the back of the chair, “But Xixi wants to drink from a cup!”
She used to use milk bottles, but Xixi felt that she has grown up!
Um, like this aunt, drink from a cup!
“Okay, okay, okay!” Yang Yi was very obedient to her daughter.
“By the way, Kei, would you like some milk, too?” Yang Yi asked without raising his head as he poured the milk powder.
Yan Yingkai was pouting, standing at the back, kicking his mother’s chair with his head down. Although not very intense, but he was also moody!
“You haven’t thanked Uncle Yang Yi.” Yan Xiaopei pulled him to the front, but Yan Yingkai turned his head and was very stubborn.
Yang Yi moved very quickly, and two cups of milk were brought over, steaming hot, with a small silver spoon on them.
“It’s a little hot, Xixi, Kei. Don’t drink too fast you two.” Yang Yi said with a smile.
Yan Xiaopei took care of it. Yang Yi felt relieved and went back to making coffee.
“Try Yirgacheffe today. This may be more suitable for women’s taste.” Yang Yi smiled and brought the cup to Yan Xiaopei. “This coffee bean is not easy to buy. What can be bought in the market is not very authentic. Fortunately, I found a good supplier.”
Before even drinking the coffee, Yan Xiaopei could smell a mellow fragrance, which felt a little like the fragrance of jasmine flowers in her shop.
Yang Yi hesitated for a moment, but he still brought the sugar jar over. He said: “This coffee is best drink without adding sugar. If you add sugar, it will affect the taste. But if you don’t drink coffee often, you may not be able to accept the bitterness. You’d better mix it according to your taste.”
“Thank you!” Yan Xiaopei said with a smile, “Why haven’t I heard of this Yirgacheffe you’re talking about? Do you have any idea of its background?”
Its background may be big!
When it comes to the topics he’s interested in, Yang Yi becomes somewhat in high spirit: “It is normal that you haven’t heard of Yirgacheffe. Many people only know cappuccino, latte and mocha when drinking coffee…”
“What are those?” Yan Xiaopei asked curiously, “I haven’t heard of those either.”
Oh, right, there are no such names in this world!
Yang Yi laughed it off and said, “Those are just different ways of drinking coffee, but in fact, there are many different type coffee beans to begin with. Only those who research about coffee will pay attention to the types of coffee beans.”
“The Yirgacheffe I’m talking about is a type of coffee bean. It comes from a small town at an altitude of 1800-2000 meters above sea level in a large country in northeastern Africa!” Yang Yi said.
“Coffee in Africa?” Yan Xiaopei was surprised. “I thought coffee was made in South America.”
Yang Yi was a little speechless. He said, “You’re talking about North America, right? Guba is a country in North America, or Central America”. The names of some countries in this world are translated differently from his previous lives.
Yan Xiaopei stick out her tongue bashfully, and was very playful.
“In fact, the origin of coffee was very early. it was first discovered in Africa, a region called (Kaffa), which is why the name coffee came into being.” Yang Yi explained, “Coffee is grown all over the world, mainly in Africa, Indonesia, and Central and South America. Of course, Guba is quite famous!”
Yang Yi can talk about this topic for a whole day, but it seems that Yan Xiaopei is a little distracted. In fact, she has little interest in coffee beans. Instead, her attention was placed on Yang Yi’s tough face and strong arms.
“Drink it while it’s hot!” When Yang Yi noticed this, he lost interest, pointed to the coffee that had no steam coming out, and said.
Yan Xiaopei poured a lot of sugar. She really didn’t like the bitter taste of coffee.
She took a sip gracefully, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
“How is it? It’s good, right? ” Yang Yi said with a smile.
“It tastes very good!” Yan Xiaopei sincerely praised, “There is a kind of taste, how to describe it, like the feeling of fruit wine.”
“Yes, this coffee here has a very unique aroma of citrus and lemon fruit.” Yang Yi said, “Of course, I only roasted it moderately, keeping the soft acidity, and if I roasted it deeply, the fragrance would be even more concentrated.”
But isn’t that the unique sour taste?
In such a slow chat, Yan Xiaopei had a second cup, but she really had no interest in the origin of coffee, and gradually, she shifted the topic.
“Yang Yi, why did you suddenly think of tying Xixi’s hair today?” Yan Xiaopei asked curiously.
Yang Yi was scrubbing the milk cups of Xixi and Yan Yingkai. He didn’t lift his head and answered casually: “Oh, her mother said that the way I tied it didn’t look good, and gave me a task.”
The cup in Yan Xiaopei’s shook violently. Fortunately, she didn’t spill the coffee. She put the cup down, smiled reluctantly, and said, “So that’s it.”
“Xixi is so beautiful. Her mother must be a great beauty, isn’t she?” Yan Xiaopei was bitter in his heart, but pretended to say it as if nothing had happened.
When Xixi, who was next to Big Brother Little Kai and was gazing at the latter in speechless dismay, heard it, she immediately turned around, and said loudly: “My Mama is the most beautiful!”
Yang Yi smiled faintly. “Um, Xixi inherited more of her mother’s gene. Fortunately, she didn’t grow up as big as I did.”
“But why haven’t I seen your wife?” Yan Xiaopei felt that the coffee she had just drank was like a fermented fruit, sour and bitter, but she could not show it. She could only fight hard.
“Mama is on a business trip!” Xixi answered in place of her father.
The final bubble burst……
“I see. If there is a chance, I’d like to know her…” Yan Xiaopei drank the coffee in the cup, feeling extremely bitter, and adding so much sugar seemed to be useless.
She couldn’t even hear what Yang Yi was saying. She just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, run away from here, and never come again.
As a woman who has been hurt because of a mistress, Yan Xiaopei wants to persue her own love, and does not want to destroy the happiness of others.
It seems that all the previous questions have been answered. No wonder he was indifferent. It turned out that his heart already belonged to someone.
