Chapter 237: The Way to Parting(1/2)
November 26, more than a month later.
Uesugi Sao made his last Irish coffee for Mr. Bryce at Soho Café.
"Haha, is this a thank you?" Mr. Bryce smiled, holding his lazy blue cat.
"The only thing I can do is this." Uesugi Tho hung milk foam on the mouth of the cup and handed it out on the tea tray.
In the pastoral coffee shop, Mr. Bryce smiled and shook his head, put the cat on the bar, and took a sip of the 'coffee' with the aroma of wine.
Uesugi, who was neatly dressed in Western style, waited for Mr. Bryce's answer under the gaze of the British short blue cat.
"You know what I'm going to say?"
"'I have nothing to teach you anymore'." Uesugi Sao said.
"I'm very confident!" Mr. Bryce reached out and patted his shoulder. "But just happens that the barista must be confident in his work. When the barista loses confidence to make a cup of coffee, the work will only be a work, that is, a loss of the 'soul'."
"But don't understand it as something like fantasy and magic. 'soul' means that you take different water, filter, and steam each coffee bean.
"When you lose your 'soul', you will only make coffee according to your script, and the different charms produced by different types of coffee will greatly narrow the gap, and all coffee flavors will become the same."
“'Soul' is something very important for baristas.”
Uesugi Do understands that Mr. Bryce is telling him the idea he has gained in making coffee for more than a decade.
More than ten years of experience... is extremely precious no matter what.
"Thank you." He thanked the teacher.
"There is nothing to thank for. Some things are always shared. After leaving here, I hope you can maintain this learning attitude. I hope that one day I will come to Tokyo and I can drink the coffee you made in the coffee shop you open again!"
"It's my honor, Mr. Bryce."
Hearing the words of the teacher, Mr. Bryce just smiled and picked up his English short blue cat again and stroked its head.
"Zhao, are you really leaving?" Miss Anna, who walked out of the kitchen, took off her gloves and asked.
"Well, Huahuo has already dealt with the things here, and it's time to set off tomorrow morning."
"To be honest, I still can't bear to part with your money tree."
Miss Anna smiled, turned around and took out a large stack of money and two ceramic cups with a coffee shop logo from her backpack.
"This is your salary this month and the two small souvenirs I have with you."
The stack is twice as thick as the previous £4,000.
Uesugi Do knows that this is a salary that is far beyond his own value, but also understands that Miss Anna is the kind of British who doesn't like to shirk it.
So I had to accept it.
Miss Anna patted his shoulder and said in a rather funny and clear tone:
"Love also needs scenery and fresh air. I hope you can use this money to take good care of the child Huahuo and take her to see more things in the world. Everything you do for her is her happiness. As a woman, I understand this very well.
"I like her very much. These two cups are proof that you come to my little coffee shop.
"I hope you can remember when you drink tea and water. You will have a cup at my soho coffee shop every day."
After saying that, Miss Anna smiled at him.
Uesugi: "Miss Anna."
"Haha, I don't need to say anything thank you. If you often see you visit frequently in the afternoon, I will feel that the store is warmer. In short, leave with peace of mind. I will travel to Tokyo if I have time!
"Also, don't stop practicing guitar! You are the first student in my church."
Facing the beautiful smile of Proprietress Anna, Uesugi Dog also smiled slightly:
"Well, I will, Miss Anna."
After changing out the work clothes, sweeping the bar again, and scanning the coffee shop.
Uesugi Sao officially resigned with the eyes of Miss Anna, Mr. Bryce, and several clerks at the entrance of the soho coffee shop.
Although time was short, he had contacted them personally.
Mr. Bryce, who likes to hold cats, coffee and desserts, and animals and travels around the world.
Miss Anna, who loves money, can play guitar, and can take care of her disabled husband. Even though she is a newcomer, she also doubles her salary.
The experience of soho coffee shop is short, but I will feel a little reluctant when I really want to leave.
Perhaps this is what human beings call bondage.
"Remember to bring firewood to see when you leave tomorrow!"
Uesugi, who was carrying his backpack, turned around and saw Miss Anna under the sign of Soho Coffee Shop full of fuji flower embellishments and everyone, and waved to respond:
“It will definitely be.”
————————————
Back to the small villa where Huahuo lived next to the Fountain Square.
Next to the trickle of hot spring, the saxophone who was dressing money in a top hat was still intoxicated.
Uesugi Sao met Mrs. Margaret who had just arrived at the door to say goodbye.
"Mrs. Margaret."
"Are you leaving?" Mrs. Margaret looked into his face.
"Yes, Huahuo has prepared the matter, and her match agreement with her teacher has been completed. Just submit the painting."
Mrs. Margaret: "I heard that the winning painting will be exhibited at the London Gallery. If Miss Fireworks succeeds, many people will witness her efforts and talent."
“For fireworks, it’s more about hard work.”
Uesugi Tou is very grateful to the old lady in her seventies. She comes to the house every day and prepares everyone's breakfast and dinner with the firewood.
At that time, Yuki Hanamaru always played with her cell phone and chatted with Uesugi sitting opposite the table.
Let’s talk about what foreign students confessed to Huahuo today, how Huahuo refused, and what it felt like when kissing.
Mrs. Margaret has no children or relatives, some of them are just houses that she bought for her long-dead husband.
Mrs. Margaret said slowly:
"I like Miss Fireworks quite a bit. There are few people who are as quiet and gentle as hers who will appear."
Uesugi Osa heard a hint of loneliness in his wife's words, "Madam, you..."
Mrs. Margaret turned to laugh and said, "Don't worry, I just like to see how you look when you eat together every morning.
"It's just that the warm and harmonious look suddenly disappeared and I was a little reluctant to leave.
"You all communicate in English when I am here, and there are few children who are as caring as you."
"Nothing, something trivial," said Uesugi.
"It is the inadvertent details that are touching."
Mrs. Margaret pushed the door of the villa, "Let's leave with peace of mind tomorrow. I think Miss Huahuo is extremely happy to have such a husband who loves her. Today I will make me a sumptuous English dinner for you, which is a farewell ceremony.
"Don't worry about being too bored, at least Miss Yuxi and Anna."
......
Tomorrow, Mrs. Margaret will see them off at the airport.
When chatting before, I also learned about Hanabu's uncle Yuzuki Hanamaru and her sister's daily affairs studying abroad.
......
Following Mrs. Margaret into the house, she was going to the kitchen to work for dinner.
Hanamaru Hanawa was going to help, but Mrs. Margaret firmly said that she would be busy alone today and asked her and Yuxi to sort out the clothes that she would leave tomorrow.
In the room on the second floor, Uesugi saw Yuki Hanamaru who was helping Hanawa to sort out his clothes.
Huahuo was reluctant to ask him to help organize it, probably because there were too many close-fitting things. She felt a little embarrassed to let him touch it, so she asked him to wait a moment before.
"Sister, you have so many white skirts. Why do you like to wear pink underwear? Why are they all white stockings?"
"Don't, don't say it!" Hanamaru Hanahuo panicked and took back her clothes.
Hanamaru Yuki went to see Uesugi Sato standing at the door.
"Brother-in-law, do you feel that you are romantic?"
"What happened at the birthday party?"
"Although my brother-in-law's shy look really romantic when she made her shy at her birthday party, I think it's romantic to chase her to London."
Uesugi: "I've heard you talk about this."
Hanamaru Yuki was next to Uesugi Tho and raised her face and said, "My brother-in-law helped me introduce a boyfriend as handsome as you and willing to be caring for girls. After you take your sister away, do you know that I will be much bored at home in school?"
"You have no bad conditions, you can find it yourself. Well, it's mainly because I don't know anyone who meets your conditions."
"Does my brother-in-law have no handsome friends?"
"It's a logical mistake. What are the benefits of making handsome guys and being friends?"
