Extra (4) (Chapter 20-28)
As soon as the host's voice fell, the twenty people on the stage immediately started.
Coffee latte art, of course, the first step is to make coffee first.
Coffee is always poured by hand, and competitors are required to make their own coffee.
Mu Xia weighed 15g of coffee beans and put them into the grinder for grinding, with elegant movements and serious demeanor.
Situ Qingshan took the time to look at Mu Xia, and was shocked to find that she actually did a good job, like she really knew how to brew coffee?
She saw Mu Xia folded the filter paper skillfully, put it in the upper brewing seat, and then picked up the boiling hot water and filled the filter paper in circles clockwise.
Seeing this, Situ Qingshan couldn't calm down a bit.
Only professional coffee brewers know this step, because filling the water in a clockwise circle can make the filter paper and the filter cup fit better, and at the same time it can remove the paper smell of the filter paper, and it can also play the role of warming the lower pot, so that the brewed Coffee is more delicious.
Mu Xia even knew this, and her technique was beautiful and skillful. At first glance, she could really make coffee.
This village girl can actually make coffee? !
Situ Qingshan's head was stunned for a while, she was sure that she did not have hallucinations, but what was going on?
Isn't Mu Xia a village girl?
How can a bum who can't even drink coffee be able to brew pour-over coffee? !
Situ Qingshan was shocked for several seconds, she reached out and pinched herself, and finally recovered before the judges were unhappy, and lowered her head to concentrate on making coffee.
Soak up! Even if he can make coffee, can't Mu Xia be able to draw on latte?
Situ Qingshan took a deep breath, tried to calm down her inner emotions, and continued the movements in her hands.
Traditional hand-brewed coffee needs to be filled twice. After two fillings, a cup of fragrant hand-brewed coffee is ready.
Among the twenty people, all of them brewed coffee at the same speed, only Mu Xia was the slowest.
Situ Qingshan laughed disdainfully when she saw that Mu Xia was still brewing for the second time after she had finished brewing.
She attributed Mu Xia's ability to brew coffee is perhaps Mu Xia worked in a coffee shop.
Soon, Mu Xia also finished brewing coffee.
The host signaled that the coffee can be started.
Compared with the relatively simple operation of coffee brewing, coffee latte art is the focus of Challenge.
The latte art uses whole milk, and everyone needs to come up with a theme for latte art before doing it.
Many people have already thought about the theme, and they reported their own themes one by one——
"My theme is spring blossoms."
"My theme is three thousand miles of mountains and rivers."
"My theme is where are Fantastic Beasts."
It was Situ Qingshan's turn, she maintained an elegant smile and said, "My theme is: A Snow-Covered Cottage in Freezing Weather..."
However, Situ Qingshan didn't pay attention to her smile, and she showed her tooth that was lost when Situ Hai slapped her and had not been filled in time, which looked rather funny.
It was just such a serious occasion that everyone held back their laughter.
Situ Qingshan saw everyone's expressions a little strange, and thought they thought their subject was lofty and admired her.
For a time, the smile on Situ Qingshan's face became even bigger, and the broken tooth became more obvious.
Situ Hai underneath looked away awkwardly, regretting hitting Situ Qingshan.
It was Mu Xia's turn.
Mu Xia held the microphone, thought for a while, and said lightly, "My theme is, The Bloom of a Thousand Pear-Flowers Ushered Forth by the Night Breeze of Spring."
Hearing that Mu Xia also said an ancient poem, Situ Qingshan pouted speechlessly.
How could this little bitch still learn from her eloquence? How many years has she read?
I am studying in the A university - of course, in the art department.
Situ Qingshan was very disdainful, thinking about the theme of Mu Xia, she probably just painted a few pear flowers.
She didn't pay much attention to Mu Xia's theme at all, she bowed her head and painted with whole milk seriously.
Situ Qingshan first covered the surface of the coffee with whole milk, and then used a drawing tool to outline a Cangshan Mountain, and then a small wooden house.
At first glance, there really is such a feeling of "A Snow-Covered Cottage In Freezing Weather".
Situ Qingshan quickly outlined all the themes, the screen magnified her coffee latte, and the bottom was amazed—
"This mood is really good. If this cup of coffee is sold in a cafe, it will cost hundreds of dollars, right?"
"This is not a latte art, this is art!"
"It's no wonder that the Royal Coffee Academy is the best place to learn coffee skills, and it is!"
"This world is a lot higher than the previous one."
"I think that 'A Snow-Covered Cottage In Freezing Weather' has the most artistic conception. She should be the first place."
"I think so too, and the barista is also pretty, it seems that the brand ambassador of the Midnight Coffee Café is hers."
Situ Hai and Mu Xinyue couldn't stop laughing when they heard those discussions.
As expected of their well-trained daughter, they did not disappoint!
Situ Qingshan could also hear the voices of the subordinates on the stage. Hearing that most of those people were praising themselves, she suddenly became complacent.
She knew that the first place must be hers!
Her theme, but secretly invited a well-known designer to design, has been practicing at home for a week, and no one can be more amazing than her work.
Situ Qingshan can predict that when the video is posted on the official blog, she may gain a large number of fans without having to make a movie.
And Ye Sijue will definitely give her a high look.
At that time, she will have a double harvest in love and career!
The more Situ Qingshan thought about it, the happier she became, but she still pinched her thigh secretly before she could hold back her laughter.
Of course, she didn't forget to see Mu Xia.
I saw that Mu Xia was still pulling flowers.
Her "The Bloom of a Thousand Pear-Flowers Ushered Forth by the Night Breeze of Spring" actually only drew a few pear trees. Those pear blossoms looked budding, and the technique was not bad.
But it's a pity, compared with her "A Snow-Covered Cottage In Freezing Weather", the artistic conception is still a little worse.
Finally, Mu Xia finished, raised her hand, and asked, "Host, can you do me a favor?"
The host immediately raised his foot and walked over.
Situ Qingshan sneered in her heart: grandstanding!

Finally, Mu Xia finished, raised her hand, and asked, "Host, can you do me a favor?"
The host immediately raised his foot and walked over.
Situ Qingshan sneered in her heart: grandstanding!
Not to mention asking the host for help, even if she has Ye Sijue's platform, she can't win herself, because this is an open competition, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at it, and there is no possibility of going backstage.
Even if Mu Xiazhen went backstage and won the first place, it would only attract countless abuses.
She also hoped that Mu Xia could go backstage, the scolding from those netizens is not something that ordinary people can bear.
The host here has walked over to Mu Xia and asked, "Miss, what do you need my help to do?"
Mu Xia saw that her coffee was being photographed on the big screen behind, and the time was up.
So she said, "Can you lend me the table book in your hand?"
"Of course." The host was happy to help the beauty, and handed the script in his hand to Mu Xia.
Situ Qingshan next to him saw Mu Xia's finished work on the big screen, and was even more disdainful.
Isn't the pear blossom painting a little more lifelike?
Not at all to be afraid of.
I don't know what else to do with Mu Xia.
But no matter how much Mu Xia does things, it is impossible for her to win!
But, is it really what Situ Qingshan thought it was?
