    <span style="font-weight:400;">"What are you nning to do, Keith?" Ange was quite curious. The two weren''t working. Right now, Keith was standing with Helen behind the counter. He said he was going to repay Helen for the drink. Whatever Keith nned, it would be interesting.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"I''m going to make this drink more vorful and delicious." Keith asked Helen, "Owner, how do you usually prepare this drink?" He wanted to know first.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"I usually crush the beans, pour water, and mix it until it turns ck," Helen exined.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"I see." So that''s how she does it. Keith smiled, "I''ll show you another way to make your drink." Keith quickly looked at the bean. These were called Macao beans. However, he knew what these were; coffee beans.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">It has been so long! He had been trying to find coffee beans for quite some time now! Yet, there were no descriptions of it in books. Just the thought made his head hurt, but he shook it.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">Back to work. The first thing needed was to grind the coffee beans down. Good consistency.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">With the beans ground down into the texture he wanted, Keith took out a cloth.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Are you nning to filter the drink?" Ange questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"That''s correct, Beautiful Senior. One way to remove the drink''s grittiness is to strain it. A cloth would be perfect." Pour-over coffee. It uses a filter to make it. However, a cloth will do fine for now.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Ehe," Ange grinned when she heard thepliment.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"What do you need to do next, Keith?" Helen was curious.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"The next step will be to hydrate the coffee before we pour more water in." Hydrating the coffee would make extraction simpler. Pouring a small amount of water, he let the ground soak.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"And now you pour the rest of the water," Keith poured the rest of the water in. Slowly, liquid dripped down from the cloth and into the cup.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"And we''re done." Keith ced two cups in front of the two. They looked down,


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"This looked nothing like the one I made before." The one Helen made was simr in color. However, it was murky. Anyone could tell it was a mix of water and Macao beans. The one in front of her now was dark ck in color.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Please have a taste," Keith smiled as he gestured the two. When the two drank.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Oh, my!" "It''s really smooth." Helen and Ange were astonished by the taste of the coffee. Keith made himself a cup as well. Much better. Besides the enhanced rich vors from the beans, there was a smoothness that made it easier to drink.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"This drink is really delicious, young man!" Helen couldn''t believe the macao beans could be made like this.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"You can also change the vors if you seep the beans longer or add more. Also, you can add other things to change it." Keith exined. There were many different ways to change the vor profile of coffee.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Young man, how do you know so much?" The owner was surprised by Keith''s vast knowledge. Wasn''t this the first time he drank this?


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"That''s because I cook. I run a cart a bit farther away from here." Keith scratched his head.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"A cart?" The owner thought about it, and it hit her, "Wait! Do you mean the famous cart, Eden, that was opened up recently?"


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"That''s the one." His cart was the only one that had opened recently.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"I''ve been meaning to go there and try!" The cart was famous; however, there was always a long line.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Hmm? Junior, did you open up a cart?" This was the first time Ange had heard about this. That caused Helen to frown,


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Ange, how have you not heard about it? That cart sells delicious food! From what I heard, it''s otherwordly!"


    <span style="font-weight:400;">Keithughed wryly, "I don''t think my food is that delicious." That was some high praiseing from her. But if he thought about it, what she said made sense. His food did break the conventional way of thinking.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Then I will have to go there and try!" Hearing Helen''s words, how could she not?


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"That''s great." Keith smiled, "Also, about this drink. If your customers find it hard to drink, try adding milk or cream."


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Milk?"


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Mmhmm. Milk really helps bring out the vors. Not only that, it adds an extrayer of smoothness." Kinda want a frother. I wonder if Dalen could make me one?


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Owner, you have some right?"


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Of course! Please try it out," Helen handed the milk over to them. The dark color slowly turned dark brown.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"It''s more fragrant." "Indeed."


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Will this work for you, Owner?"


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Of course!" The owner nodded her head. With this, she was sure it would be a hit for her menu.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Let''s return to work, Senior," Keith remembered his objective. It was to help Ange with her work.


    <span style="font-weight:400;">"Don''t remind me," Ange groaned, and like that, the two started to work again.
