Su Zhi: Thank you for the invitation. In ancient times, people just stepped out of the space-time tunnel and were selling coffee on a live broadcast.
I, Su Zhi, am an ordinary coffee lover. My lifelong dream is to open a coffee shop, smell the fragrance of coffee every day, and be a happy salted fish.
Who knows, I just made three more wishes before going to bed, and was forcibly bound by a system called "Time and Space Live Broadcast"!
The system tone rang in my head: "Welcome anchor Su Zhi to join the Super Dimension Live Broadcast! There will be a assistant to help you complete the live broadcast task! The task is completed and you will be rewarded with a coffee shop of your own! There are also more exquisite gifts~"
Me: "... Huh?"
The words "your coffee shop" are injected directly into my soul like a cup of double espresso.
For my dream love shop! I clenched my fists on the spot: "Okay! I'll do it! Go, go, go!"
Then I wore it.
Then, I stood in the ancient market where people were coming and going and shouting. I looked at the siphon pot, hand brewing equipment and several sacks of coffee beans on the stall in front of me, and fell into deep thought for a minute.
My novice assistant, a ball of light who calls himself "Xiao Qi", cheerfully broadcasts in my ear:
"Dear anchor! Your first live broadcast task has been released: successfully sold 10 cups of hand-brewed specialty coffee on the streets of Song Dynasty! Two hours time! If the task fails, the punishment is... Electric shock and disqualification."
Me: "..."
I looked down at the coarse linen clothes I was wearing, and then looked up at the man selling cooking cakes across the street.
Help! If I explain to the people of the Song Dynasty what "medium-roasted floral and fruity aroma" means, will they regard me as a lunatic selling spices? !
Live broadcast, start!
I bit the bullet, put on a professional fake smile, and waved my hand to the void (live broadcast room camera): "Home, family... Oh no, fellow villagers, don't miss it when you pass by! This refreshing fairy water from overseas fairy mountains! Try it first before buying it. If you don't like it, you don't have to pay!"
A scholar waving a fan came over and pointed at my filter cup suspiciously: "Girl, what is this? A medicine brewer?"
Me: "... This is an extraction tool."
Scholar: "Take? What to take?"
Me (trying to keep smiling): "Get the essence of the coffee liquid."
An old lady passed by carrying a vegetable basket, picked up a coffee bean and looked at it, frowning: "Does this black briquette-like thing taste good?"
I (mouth twitching): "Mom, these are roasted coffee beans, not briquettes..."
The first cup of hand brew was ready, and I tremblingly handed it to a strong man who looked the boldest.
He picked it up and tilted his neck as if drinking.
The next second, his whole face wrinkled up: "Pfft! Little lady, are you selling gall water?! It's more miserable than my life!"
Me (broken inside): "Brother! This is black coffee! You have to taste it carefully! It has the aftertaste of nutty chocolate!!"
The barrage was already laughing like crazy:
[Hahahaha, help! The anchor's face is bitterer than coffee!
[People from the Song Dynasty: I have endured the bitterness that this era should not have!
[Anchor: I want to open a coffee shop. System: No, you don't. You want to be an ancient street performance artist.
[Ask the host about the psychological shadow area!
Xiao Qi is still adding fuel to the fire: "Come on, anchor! Sales are still zero! There are still one hour and forty-seven minutes before being shocked!"
I looked at the bustling but unattended stalls, took a deep breath, and gave it a go!
I opened my voice, exhausted all my life's knowledge, and started to talk nonsense:
"Come and take a look! Overseas tribute, the same style as the emperor! One cup will refresh your mind, two cups will never fatigue you, three cups will make you immortal! It is a must-have for office exam preparation and staying up late for reading at night! Pair it with cooking cakes for a better flavor!"
The man selling pancakes opposite said: "???"
As a result, a strange scene appeared on the streets of the Northern Song Dynasty: a woman who was suspected of being crazy was using strange equipment to "cook medicine" while shouting "Arabica!"
Su Zhi: My coffee shop dream... Was probably shattered in the spring breeze of the Song Dynasty, just like my reason.
System, thank you! Is it okay if I don't want this reward? All I want now is to go home and drink a cup of instant three-in-one to calm down my panic!
Purpose: To have fun
