Chapter 441 Coffee
In fact, this kind of practice has been carried out in various towns before. Compared with the other counties in Manzhou, the business of Jiachuan Sugar and Wine Company is the first to be profitable, at least the employees The salary bonus can also be guaranteed.
The liberalization of monopoly in the sugar and wine business means business transformation. In this process, 99% of county-level sugar and wine companies across the country were unable to withstand the competition from individual industrial and commercial operators and eventually went bankrupt.
Some successful examples are just to persist until the real estate spring arrives, sell the land in their hands, divide the homes, and then everyone is busy with their own affairs.
Only provincial and municipal-level sugar and wine companies have survived in the brutal market competition, absorbing capital from all sources, and many have even grown bigger and stronger, and finally became directly managed by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, engaged in A sugar and wine group with comprehensive businesses such as wholesale, supermarkets, catering, group buying, retail, and e-commerce.
Now there are signs of this. With the rise of individual traders, sugar and wine companies in various places are shrinking because their leaders cannot change their thinking. As far as Manzhou is concerned, only Jiachuan, who adjusted his thinking with the help of Zhou Zhi, , not only maintained the market, but also established itself as a self-employed supplier, further expanding the business scale.
"Shu Yi, stop being busy, come here and try my craft first." Zhou Zhi greeted Jiang Shuyi who was having trouble making a choice.
Jiang Shuyi came over with a basket filled with snow cakes and popcorn.
Zhou Zhi pushed the cake over: "Eat first, coffee is your favorite."
Jiang Shuyi blushed: "How do you know?"
Zhou Zhi smiled slightly: "The coffee at home is disappearing so fast. I prefer tea."
"You..." Jiang Shuyi was a little embarrassed: "That could be someone else?"
“It seems "You are the only one who likes coffee." Zhou Zhi said, "They prefer drinking Guozhen." "Zhou Zhi, I find you are really bad." "What do you mean?" ?”
"You like to observe secretly so much, you can often see a lot of things that others don't want others to see."
"No, I think the way you quietly go to make coffee is very cute..."
“You still said that!”
"Don't tell me, try this quickly. This is different from mixing it directly with Nestlé..."
In fact, it is still Nescafe coffee, but the hot milk used to brew the coffee has been processed by a milk frother. , and sprinkled with chocolate cookie powder instead of cocoa powder.
It can't be compared with the famous coffee of later generations, but this is the first time that Jiachuan can drink it.
"What pattern is this?" Jiang Shuyi's attention was attracted by the pattern of milk foam and coffee on the quilt: "Cat paws?"
"Uh...is it?"
"No? Then what is this?"
"I want to be a sun."
"Pfft - it's cuter when it looks like a cat's paws."
"You really reminded me, wait a minute..." Zhou Zhi drank the milk foam from his cup of coffee and poured the milk foam again. After turning into a plain base, I ran to find a piece of paper, pulled it a few times with a utility knife, came back and put it on the cup to cover it, then sprinkled the biscuit powder on the paper piece, and then took the paper away.
The letters S and Y appear in the coffee cup.
Obviously it is the first letter of the word Shuyi.
Jiang Shuyi blushed, her eyes became soft, and she said to him a little carelessly: "This is...fourth aunt's method of making incense seals..."
Just when the atmosphere was gradually turning ambiguous, Liang Hong's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Hey, what are you two doing?!"
Jiang Shuyi was almost frightened out of her wits, and looked at Zhou Zhi's expression Horrified and pleading.
Zhou Zhi acted like a carefree person, flicking and crumpling the piece of paper with his left hand, then quietly put the piece of paper into his trouser pocket, picked up the coffee with the letters blurred by the biscuit powder, and prepared to take a sip. .
"Don't move!" Liang Hong rushed up: "Let me check!"
"Sister Hong..." Jiang Shuyi's face turned pale.
"What?" Zhou Zhi had no choice but to stop.
"What were you doing just now? What is this?" Liang Hong had a keen sense of smell and intuitively felt that something was fermenting between the two people. "This, coffee, coffee from the karaoke parlor, new way of making it." Jiang Shuyi's chest was filled with thunder, and her face was as thoughtful as a flat lake.
The friends gathered around: "What kind of coffee is this?"
"Well, it's a cappuccino, you can use milk foam for latte art. The kind with cookie dust pattern.”
Liang Hong studied the pattern in the cup carefully: "Elbow, what are you drawing?"
"Elephant."
"Ahem cough cough..." Jiang Shuyi said to Zhou Zhi's quick wit made him cough.
The two letters SY are similar to the front part of an elephant. With the added biscuit powder, the current pattern in the cup...well, it does look a bit like an elephant.
"It seems a bit fun..." Liang Hong also became interested: "Teach me how to do it."
"Don't you want to sing? Tingting and the others have already sung."
"Singing is still fun." Ye Xin pulled Jiang Shuyi and Zhang Xinyi: "Give us a few cups of this fun thing." Coffee, we are waiting for you singing!”
“Take this basket of food in” Zhou Zhi took the basket. Leave it to Ye Xin: "There are also two fruit plates. These are prepared for free customers tonight. We won't eat for nothing, so get more!"
"Wen Yuhe is behind. , let them take it!" Ye Xin couldn't wait any longer and pulled Jiang Shuyi, who had not yet recovered from the fright and tension, into the hall.
"I'll make coffee with you." Liang Hong stayed.
"Okay, go get the cup from the cabinet." Zhou Zhi glanced at Jiang Shuyi's back worriedly. The little girl was really frightened just now.
After a while, He Dayong and Li Jia also came back, as well as the yawning Sun Ermao.
"Hey, it's already cooked?" Li Jia asked.
After buying a new speaker, it will take a long time to play. It seems to be like boiling soup. Only after ten or twenty hours of continuous boiling, the sound effect of the speaker will be optimal.
This action is called "bao" in jargon.
"Actually, competitions have been held, and the effects are almost the same."
"There still needs to be some running-in and fine-tuning. After all, I haven't tried it here."
"Why don't you go and get busy?" Liang Hong said, "I already know how to do it."
"Okay, Wenyu and the others will be here soon. You can take whatever you want to eat." Zhou Zhi said, "We still need to check out the equipment."
The karaoke room was lively with singing, Zhou Zhi Not bothering to care about them, he got into the DJ room with Brother Dayong, Li Jia, and Sun Ermao.
The densely packed function knobs and faders on the mixer made Dayong and Sun Ermao dizzy.
But in fact, the principle of tuning is not complicated. It mainly includes the signal amplification function; the tone equalization function of high, medium and bass; the output grouping function and the output control function as required.
The program signal amplification function in the karaoke hall mainly matches the amplitude of the music signals of various musical instruments and the vocal signals received by the microphone to make them more integrated and harmonious.
The amplification of the overall volume is actually done by the front amplifier and the rear amplifier.
The second function is very important and involves signal frequency adjustment.
Different signals will form different timbres due to their spectral distribution, harmonic components and other reasons.
The impact of buildings on sound will also cause great changes in timbre.
The sound engineer must process the different sound signals entering the mixer according to the current amplification environment, so that the sound in the current environment is as close to the original sound as possible.
This requires the use of the mixer's processing devices for each channel, such as three-band equalizer, gain controller, high-pass filter, etc.
