It's fine to entertain people from other countries, but for them, these so-called feasts only look good, but the taste is really not that good.
Seeing Ji Fenghe eating at a very steady pace, the legal affairs officer couldn't help but sigh quietly:
"Manager Ji, you have a good appetite."
The man was cutting the steak slowly, and a smile appeared on his face when he heard her words.
“It’s free here.”
Legal Affairs: “…”
But then I changed my mind and thought that if I don't eat here, I will still have to order similar things when I get back home hungry, and the quality may not be as good as these. It's better to eat here so that I don't have to spend the company's money to reimburse me when I order when I go back home.
Thinking of this, the legal officer picked up the knife and fork and fiercely cut the steak in front of him into seven or eight pieces.
After finishing their meal, the group stood at the door of the restaurant, not knowing where to go.
After Lu Xun remained silent for a long time, Song Mai finally couldn't help but speak.
"Then where do we go next?"
Lu Xun pinched his brows and looked at the busy road in the distance.
"Since they said they would talk again tomorrow morning, they will definitely not see us today. I will go back to the hotel and report the situation to the group. You are free to move around. If there is anything, we will meet at the hotel later to discuss it."
"it is good."
Since this matter could not be concluded in the short term, we cannot proceed with the next step of work.
Since we are staying in the hotel anyway, we might as well go out for a walk and make the trip worthwhile.
Song Mai took the address of the coffee bean store recommended to her by the coffee shop clerk last time and prepared to go to the store to buy some coffee beans.
The young girl from the legal department was not interested and planned to go shopping in the nearby shopping district to see if there were any counters selling luxury bags that could not be ordered domestically.
Fortunately, it was daytime now and there was no safety issue. Song Mai said goodbye to the girl and went there alone.
There was no language barrier. Although she was in a new place, it was not difficult for her to find a store because she had the exact address.
However, the store was a bit remote, located in a narrow alley. Song Mai walked around it several times and never expected that the store would be located in such a narrow place, so narrow that only two people could pass through at the same time.
Song Mai found the store with the help of an old man at the entrance of the alley.
The storefront looks very old, and the overall decoration style also seems to be from the last century.
The shop is old but not run-down.
Before Song Mai stepped into the store, the aroma of coffee beans hit him in the face, and the aroma seemed to completely permeate the store.
Even the wooden doors and windows seemed to be emitting this smell.
The owner of the shop was an old lady in her seventies, wearing reading glasses and reading a newspaper under candlelight.
The lighting in the alley is not very good. Although there are electric lights, they are still not as good as natural light.
It was a yellowed newspaper, and it was obvious that it was quite old. The footer of the newspaper had become a little thin due to repeated reading.
Song Mai stepped into the store and looked around for a while, and then the old lady realized that someone had entered the store.
Seeing that the visitor was a foreign young girl, the old lady said in broken English: "Feel free to look around, please call me if you need anything."
Song Mai smiled at her and replied "OK" in Spanish. The old lady smiled at her as if relieved.
The shop is not big, with two rooms from inside to outside. However, there are many transparent glass display cabinets in these two storefronts. Various kinds of coffee beans are placed in the cabinets, and next to the coffee beans there are handwritten notes with information such as the name of the coffee bean and the place of origin.
My handwriting is crooked and the ink mark from the pen is a little light, so I guess it wasn't written a year or two ago.
Song Mai doesn't know much about coffee. In her living environment, she has neither the opportunity nor the conditions to drink coffee.
When I was in college, I often had to work part-time to earn money and study at the same time, so studying had to be done in the middle of the night.
She was often too sleepy to hold on, and had to rely on the instant coffee given by her roommate to keep going. She would make a cup of instant coffee in the dead of night, sit quietly under the desk lamp and read and study. Her roommates were all sleeping peacefully, which made her feel extremely happy.
Instant coffee is not made from pure coffee beans, and a lot of sugar is added to it, which made her feel for a while that coffee was not as bitter as it was portrayed in TV dramas.
Later, after she graduated from college and started working, she learned that there are so many types of coffee, and the bitterest one is called espresso.
But she still couldn't bear to spend money, so even when she needed to stay awake after working overtime, she still drank instant coffee.
So she had not really drunk coffee many times, and naturally did not know how to choose coffee beans or what kind of coffee beans were the best.
Song Mai looked at the various colored coffee beans for a long time, but he just felt they were magical and couldn't figure out anything.
The old lady saw her looking at him for a long time and was just about to introduce him to her when a tall and slender figure appeared in front of the door.
The man walked straight towards Song Mai and saw her staring at a type of coffee beans in the display cabinet, while searching Baidu for the characteristics and taste of the coffee beans.
"How long will it take you to investigate like this?"
Song Mai was startled by the voice and quickly turned around, only to find that the person standing behind her was Ji Fenghe.
"Manager Ji, why are you here?"
Ji Fenghe raised the newly bought coffee cup in his hand.
“Come and buy coffee beans.”
Song Mai nodded, feeling a little surprised.
“How did you find this store?”
This store is obviously so hard to find. If she hadn't asked the waiter in the coffee shop for the exact address, she would have never been able to find it.
The man picked up a coffee bean and put it to his nose and smelled it.
"This store is very famous, didn't you know?"
Song Mai shook her head. She really didn't know.
The man found the exact type of coffee beans he wanted on the counter, and then called the old lady sitting by the door to ask her to pack the beans for him.
He called out twice before the old lady heard his voice, but when she saw his face, her wrinkled face instantly came alive.
"How come you have time to come over at this time of year?"
Ji Fenghe smiled, his brows full of gentleness.
"I'm on a business trip with the project team, so I came here. I just ran out of coffee beans this afternoon, and there aren't many left at home, so I came to buy some more from you."
The old lady pulled out a small sealed bag from the drawer, opened the bag and gave it to Ji Feng and the coffee beans he ordered.
"It's hard to believe that you still miss this place. The last time you came here was last year."
Ji Fenghe nodded and watched the coffee beans flow into the sealed bag.
"What are you talking about? I've been here for many years. How could I forget you so easily? Even if I wasn't on a business trip, I would still come here. First, I want to see you, and second, I'm used to your coffee."
