He has always been good at eating melons!

Chapter 11 SWEET-COFFICE
The part-time cafe is very close to the school, and it doesn’t even take 5 minutes to walk.

Nekoyashiki went out and turned left, and turned left again at the intersection.

Passing by izakaya, Italian food and French food in turn, you will see the brand of SWEET-COFFICE coffee shop.

The sign at the door says 'Mixed coffee 480 yen | 100g'.

Nekoyashiki pushed the door open, and the notification bell on the top of the door made a crisp sound.

"To tell you the truth, I'm quite confident in blending coffee..."

The one who spoke was a handsome store manager in a Western-style uniform.

He was taking an order for a customer at the table by the window.

This scene is very common. There is only one part-time employee in the cafe, and most of the things are done by the store manager himself.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the store manager looked this way, so Haruka Nekoyashiki bowed down to say hello.

The shop manager nodded and looked at the customer to continue ordering.

"Nokiyashiki brother, you are here."

Just as she was about to enter the inner door to change her work clothes, the female customer who ordered suddenly raised her hand to say hello.

Nekoyashiki took another look and realized that it was Mrs. Sawajo Misato, a regular customer.

Mrs. Misato is 25 years old, mature and beautiful, with a plump figure. She loves sweet coffee. Her home address is at [-]-chome, Nishi-Pan District, and her house number is ***.

Here I want to clarify that Nekoyashiki has no special interest in wives, and remembering the information of regular customers is purely for work.

"Hello, Mrs. Zecheng."

He greeted politely.

"What's your name, madam? Didn't I tell you that I want to call you sister~"

Mrs. Zecheng emphasized in a weakly elongated voice, her face pressed against the table, and her voice was also very lazy.

Her free and exhausted state is also considered normal.

Mrs. Sawajo, who is already married, did not choose to become a housewife, but continued to work outside.

What I do is a rather exhausting job like a salesperson who runs outside every day.

The coffee shop is like a break between work for her.

"Okay, Mrs. Sawajo.

From now on I will be called my sister, Mrs. Sawashiro. "

Nekoyashiki played a little joke.

"Ah~ I hate it! Uncle, please take care of this disobedient boy."

Mrs. Zecheng said she was disgusted, but her expression was very cheerful, she even sat up straight and grabbed the store manager to complain.

"I've decided it's going to be mixed coffee, plus 'beat the waiter' service!"

"Okay, one cup of mixed coffee."

"And 'beat the waiter' up!"

"No, selling violence is illegal..."

The store manager is serious.

"..."

No longer joking, Nekoyashiki walked around the counter and entered the inner door, put down his schoolbag, and changed into a white shirt, black vest, and black pants in turn.

Finally, adjust the neckline bow in front of the mirror.

After washing his hands, he walked out with a note pad, and the store manager had already returned to the counter to prepare mixed coffee.

"Today, too!" said the uncle, not forgetting to skillfully weigh the coffee beans.

"Please take care of me." Nekoyashiki followed politely.

As soon as I walked to the door, two young and beautiful girls came to the door.

Judging by the age of these two people, they should be college students of a certain school.

"welcome."

Nekoyashiki took the two of them to a table for two and sat down.

"Is this the first time for the two of you?"

"Yes, I have classmate Amway." The girl with short hair said, still smiling.

The other looked down at the drink list and asked, "Any recommendations?"

"If you don't hate sweets, our sweet coffee will never disappoint."

Nekoyashiki pointed to the list of sweet coffees on the list.

"Really? Well... then I'll have a caramel macchiato, how about you, Midori?"

She pushes the drink menu over.

Midori was leaning on her chin, staring blankly at Nekoyashiki, "Huh? Me? Just like you."

Nekoyashiki Midori smiled friendly, lowered his head and quickly wrote down the content on the sticky note, and said, "Please wait a moment."

Walking back to the counter, the manager has already made the mixed coffee.

"Add two caramel macchiatos," Nekoyashiki said.

At the same time, tear off the note paper and hand it to the store manager.

The mixed coffee is steaming under the indoor lamp, and you can smell the tempting aroma without getting close.

Nekoyashiki brought the coffee to Mrs. Sawajo's table.

This lady is already melting on the table...

Seeing the cat house approaching, she struggled to get up.

But the broad chest was still leaning against the edge of the table, and the bright white hemisphere squeezed out of the collar of the business suit was a bit dazzling.

Gentlemen pay attention to seeing no evil, and this kind of scene should look away.

Nekoyashiki is well aware of this truth.

So he decided not to be a gentleman.

Zecheng lazily picked up his cup and took a sip.

"Uh! It's a bit bitter!" The wife frowned her slender eyebrows.

"You can take a big bite." Nekoyashiki encouraged.

Mrs. Zecheng was skeptical, but she followed suit.

"Hmm! It will be delicious if you take a big sip!" Starlight flashed in the wife's eyes.

"The manager's blended coffee has a mellow aroma, which is easier to taste when you take a big sip."

Mrs. Zecheng sat up straight and took another big gulp.

At this time, Nekoyashiki noticed a small package next to Sawajo, which looked like a book in outline, but he didn't ask much.

"Huh~" Mrs. Sawajo let out a long and comfortable breath, holding the cup and looking at Nekoyashiki, "My little brother understands a lot now!"

"I have learned a lot!" Nekoyashiki said with a smile.

After speaking, he put the coffee tray back on the counter, and he returned to the door to welcome the guests.

The main job of Nekoyashiki is to welcome guests, order, serve coffee, talk to customers, cash register, and pack coffee cups.

When the pressure of coffee production is high, I also help to prepare coffee. If there are fewer customers in the evening, I will go to the backstage to organize the storage containers.

It sounds like a cumbersome task, but it's actually not that much work.

After all, it is a traditional coffee shop. Even if it is very popular, the passenger flow is limited, and there are rarely crowded scenes.

I waited at the door for 3 minutes, but still no customers came. The store manager on the other side has already made two cups of caramel macchiato skillfully.

The way to make caramel macchiato is to add espresso to the caramel and vanilla base and mix thoroughly, then add the whipped bubble milk for latte art, and finally pour pure caramel.

Because a lot of caramel is added, the sweetness of this coffee is particularly difficult to control.

Even after learning about it for four months, if Nekoyashiki makes it, occasionally there will be situations where the sweetness is too greasy or the bitterness of the coffee cannot be covered.

But it’s different when it’s the store manager, and I don’t know how he controls the ratio. Every time he makes coffee, he can accurately hit the taste buds and limit the sweetness to the optimum critical point acceptable to the drinker.

After all, everyone has different tastes, and the uncle's skill can be said to be amazing.

He brought the coffee over, and asked Midori to take a big sip immediately.

The girl who took the order inserts a straw and sucks slowly.

The drinking methods are different, but at the same time, the two girls all tightened their eyebrows and then stretched them out, and finally the corners of their mouths turned up, showing bright and sunny smiles.

That is the stimulation and delayed satisfaction brought by the sweetness filling the mouth.

The corner of Midori's mouth was stained with a layer of dense milk foam, as if a white beard had grown out of nowhere.

The order girl pointed at her and giggled.

Nekoyashiki also raised the corners of his mouth.

This is a wonderful feeling, as if other people's happiness can be felt by Nekoyashiki.

Being able to easily gain warmth and a sense of healing is probably the real reason why he chose to work here.

Back at the counter, Nekoyashiki thought about the introduction of caramel macchiato.

Macchiato is Italian, meaning "branding" and "printing and dyeing", transliterated as "Macchiato".

Caramel macchiato, which means "sweet mark".
