After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Before we knew it, the day for the coffee shop to open arrived.

The shop entrance was filled with auspicious flower baskets from relatives and friends.

Even the owner of the private restaurant that previously rented the space, and the designer who helped design and decorate the café, sent congratulatory gifts to express their congratulations.

When the auspicious hour arrived, firecrackers went off. Lan Yujuan covered her ears with one hand and smiled as she lifted the red silk.

"Riverside Hidden Cafe is officially open today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted in the room.

After the opening ceremony, the café officially opened for business. People curiously looked around, took photos, and browsed the various areas, both upstairs and downstairs, in the front and back yards.

Last night, professional baristas were brought in from the group chat and quickly took over the various workstations, enthusiastically and professionally recommending various coffees to customers who came into the store.

On the opening day, almost everyone who came was one of our own.

Among them, those who are professional coffee connoisseurs make up almost half!

Chen Mo followed him around the store, but couldn't find a way to help.

Make coffee? He doesn't know how.

Even when trying to help collect a cup, they are a step behind the baristas.

"Brother, you rest, we'll take care of it!"

A young man with dreadlocks and a magician's headscarf said with a grin.

Chen Mo awkwardly withdrew his hand and silently put it in his pocket.

Another barista next to me wanted to try a new type of bean, but almost everyone in the room had a cup of coffee, so there was clearly an oversupply.

When she turned around and saw Chen Mo wandering around with his hands in his pockets not far away, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Brother, come here!"

Hearing the voice, Chen Mo instinctively turned around. "Did you call me?"

The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw his face clearly.

"Hmm! Would you like some coffee?"

Chen Mo frowned slightly, strolled over, and casually tapped the menu with his finger.

"A hand-brewed Ethiopian drink, please."

"Hold on!"

The little girl almost without hesitation immediately put away the beans she was about to boil and decisively replaced them with Ethiopian beans.

While waiting for the water to boil, the girl crossed her hands, leaned forward slightly, and rested her body on the bar counter, clearly showing interest in Chen Mo.

"You seem to know a lot about coffee. Do you often drink pour-over coffee?"

Chen Mo glanced at the little girl, but didn't respond. Instead, he pulled over a high stool, leaned back, and sat down, continuing to look around.

However, his indifference did not deter the young girl; on the contrary, it only aroused her interest.

"Brother, my name is Qi Pei, and I'm a senior in college. You can also call me by my nickname: Pei Pei."

Qi Pei extended her hand to him while introducing herself with a smile.

"Nice to meet you! What's your name?"

However, Chen Mo glanced at the fair hand, frowned slightly, and then simply nodded.

"Just call him brother-in-law."

Qi Pei's smile froze slightly, and she slowly withdrew her hand, but her form of address remained unchanged.

"Brother, don't overthink it, we're just having a normal chat."

Just then, the water next to them boiled, so the little girl decided to start cooking.

A few minutes later, the aroma of coffee wafted over, and Qi Pei simply took two small coffee cups, one for each of them.

"Brother, try the coffee I made, is it good?"

As Qi Pei said this, she raised an eyebrow with a smile, clearly very pleased with herself.

However, Chen Mo took a small sip, then frowned and put it down, leaving only two words:

"good."

After saying that, he prepared to get up and leave, wanting to go outside for some fresh air.

But when the little girl heard the evaluation of "not bad," she immediately became unhappy.

"Not bad? What do you mean by 'not bad'?"

She immediately stopped the person, and began to show her displeasure.

"Brother, you need to explain yourself clearly. How can you call this coffee 'okay'?"

"Do you think the beans are bad, or that I brewed them badly?"

Chen Mo was somewhat taken aback; he hadn't expected that drinking a cup of coffee could cause such trouble.

"The beans are good. The technique is just average."
