When I wrote this slogan, I seemed to smell coffee, and I couldn't help thinking of the bitterness that slowly slipped between my lips and teeth, which made my taste buds throb faintly. Coffee, as "the most valuable legal commodity next to oil on the earth", may have changed from a refreshing drink to an unconsciously integrated work life for lawyers. When the warm liquid of coffee flows into the body, immediately cheer up and prepare for a sprint; When you need to work overtime and stay up late, a full cup of coffee will appear early when you are sleepy to get rid of endless fatigue and drowsiness. Coffee and the file filed after the lawyer closed the case were originally completely different "strangers". But the author often thinks that they are very similar, and both are bitter, sour and sweet "spiritual products".
Presumably, everyone's impression of coffee mostly stays in various drinks in cafes and instant coffee on supermarket containers. After drinking coffee, it's hard to think of the condensation behind you. In addition to the alternation of seasons, there is also the sweat of washing coffee beans, and the hands of picking inferior beans in the hot sun overhead.
Where do hard and crisp coffee beans come from?
It turns out that it grows from a tree and is the fruit of a tree. In China, it is difficult to see the cultivation of coffee trees. Only Hainan Island and Yunnan have planted coffee trees. The familiar coffee bean is the seed that grows in the fruit. Usually, coffee trees begin to bear fruit about 3 to 5 years after sowing, and coffee fruits are densely distributed and grow along branches. Although it grows on the same branch, the maturity of each fruit is different. Some are "immature" turquoise, some are slightly yellow, some are yellow-red, some are fully mature cherry red, and some are dry dark brown. So you need to pick coffee cherries manually. Workers fly around the same place with their hands like rain every day before picking to check the maturity of the fruit. It often takes several weeks to pick the same coffee fruit again and again before all the harvests are completed. Later, after professional processing and baking, finished product production and creative research and development, it was able to "meet perfectly" with every cup of coffee.
Maybe the files that have been filed are the same. In the eyes of others, they are just simple file sorting and binding, but they don't know that each file has its own "story". Only lawyers who handle it know the traces of painstaking and thinking in this "story"!
Those rainy nights when you worked overtime to study the case, those train stations at five or six in the morning when you were on a business trip, those piles of materials that you "chewed" for tomorrow's negotiations, and those lights that you finally left the closed office. Whether it's coffee or the case file, it's really "a tragedy" and "a case is tired", but as long as you take a sip of coffee and watch the case successfully closed and filed, those dark clouds will flood the city and all those urgent things will disappear, perhaps because of the mellow coffee in your mouth, perhaps because of your vision for the future!
After graduating from school, I began to work in a law firm. I have always felt that going to Starbucks for coffee is very expensive and I am reluctant to spend the money. But I can always find other coffee to touch my taste buds and nerves. That is the Nestle three-in-one instant coffee that everyone knows. There are many years of festive red packaging, limited edition ceramic cups, and small eddies formed by stirring stainless steel spoons. It seems that every sip can filter out all the tiredness, leaving only persistence and enthusiasm.
In the bittersweet time of paralegals, various brands of instant coffee are inseparable.
After working for two or three years, I began to slowly go to Starbucks or Pacific Coffee for coffee. I was beaten by the cold wind and worked overtime in the afternoon. I was going to buy a cappuccino. On the way, I thought that Starbucks coffee can be divided into large cups and small cups. What kind of coffee has the highest cost performance? It suddenly occurred to me that a book written by Japanese economist Yoshimoto Yoshio was called "Buy a large cup of coffee at Starbucks". In the book, I saw the other side of life with "price"-buying a large cup of coffee at Starbucks is "win-win", because for coffee shops, compared with raw materials such as milk and coffee, manpower and rent are the fixed costs of the big head, so coffee shops are willing to exchange small money for a large cup of coffee.
Finally, I turned a corner and went to Starbucks coffee shop. When I came to the place where I ordered, I subconsciously said, "Hello, I want a large cappuccino. It would be great if the milk bubble could become the "milk beard" of my upper lip. Thank you!
After several years of independent practice, I began to know that an excellent cappuccino should have three beauties: espresso extraction is perfect-skeleton beauty, milk beauty-soul beauty, milk beauty-and Starbucks' "milk beard" is never perfect. At first, I was gradually dissatisfied with instant coffee, so I began to buy ground coffee powder, cook a pot with a coffee machine, sit at the desk in the office, gently stir the coffee in the cup, and let the rich fragrance pervade the whole office.
Perhaps, the hero of this story is you now or in the future, or you are still drinking various brands of instant coffee many years later, but in any case, the fatigue and pain in that "legal way" is silently remembered by every cup of bitter coffee. Don't give up, they will always come back in the way you once dreamed.
Lawyer A asked lawyer B, Do you prefer tea or coffee? Lawyer B replied: More coffee. Well, well, I'll teach you the "Secret of Coffee Jianghu" that I've studied all my life (not crooked ways). Please turn around:
Jianghu secrets 1: Don't forget the "troublemaker" of caffeine.
I still remember a farce when I was studying: a friend of Xueba unconsciously drank a small cup of coffee to refresh himself before the exam. And the result? Raise your hand twice in the middle of the exam to apply for going to the toilet. If the usual grades are not in the top ten of the grade, the class teacher suspects that this may be cheating. Later, this behavior became more and more strange. After reading the book and checking the internet, I realized that caffeine in coffee is making trouble-a mild diuretic that can make you go to the toilet more often. Therefore, many private beauticians will advise the stars to drink a cup of black coffee in the morning, which can eliminate the edema of the face and body. Foreign studies even show that the intake of coffee with moderate caffeine can reduce the risk of kidney calculi's disease by discharging a large amount of liquid. Then, when a lawyer meets a "troublemaker" of caffeine on a street corner, he may want to remember to avoid drinking coffee before attending many meetings that are inconvenient to leave often, such as business negotiations.
Jianghu Secret 2: Only when we meet in the most beautiful 10 minutes can we live up to ourselves.
Relatively speaking, how can I drink a cup of delicious and healthy coffee? The easiest way is to drink coffee within 10 minutes after brewing. Famous nutritionist Zhang Ye and Yu commented on the life of coffee-shake the coffee in your hand, and coffee stains will form on the cup wall within 10 minutes. If it is left for too long, the fungi in the air will attach to the coffee cup in a very short time, thus polluting the coffee. This fungus attached to the coffee cup in a short time, thus polluting the coffee. In addition, after the brewed coffee is cooled, with the decrease of temperature, quinuclides will be hydrolyzed into quinic acid, which invisibly increases the sour taste of coffee, and the taste is no longer so strong. For lawyers, time is the biggest enemy and cannot be wasted on inferior coffee. Well, please cherish this 10 minute coffee!
Jianghu Secret 3: Although coffee is refreshing, don't drink too much.
In warm winter, the warm-hearted girl wears a thick scarf and holds a steaming cup of coffee ... I don't know how many times this beautiful and warm scene has been replayed in my mind, but what if the hostess drinks too much coffee? The most direct symptom is that the heart beats violently, and even leads to side effects such as trance and unstable walking center of gravity. Although the caffeine content in daily drinks is not high. Take Starbucks' large coffee (16oz) for example, its caffeine content is about 320mg. For normal adults, this dose is considered as a low dose after drinking and absorbing. But in a country that emphasizes China culture, the charm of coffee lies in the doctrine of the mean, not the upper limit. Maybe you will ask, how many days a day is the upper limit for drinking coffee? Before the author has a deep understanding of coffee, as a shallow eater, he may answer: two cups a day. Only by drinking good coffee can we "study hard and make progress every day".
The other side of coffee and the secret of coffee grounds
The ancient Arabs didn't find coffee refreshing at first. At first, they just dried and boiled coffee beans and drank the juice as stomach medicine to help digestion. Today, this effect has evolved into a very popular coffee diet. There are three keys to the method: a cup of coffee without any coffee partner and sugar cubes, and proper exercise after drinking for about 30 minutes. At this time, coffee can accelerate the metabolism in the body, help the digestion of food in the gastrointestinal tract, make you sweat more than usual and burn more fat, so as to achieve better slimming effect. But don't binge drink 5 or 6 cups, because coffee accelerates metabolism and also accelerates the loss of water in the body, and the skin will be prone to water shortage. After we have experienced the beauty of coffee and enjoyed the beauty of coffee, don't forget those bitter coffee grounds, like tea leaves, which are completely dried and put in the cupboard where you moved to a new house, in the refrigerator where you smell each other's smell, and in your shoes where you play basketball. The ability of coffee grounds to absorb flavor will let you know that your whole body is precious, and "I"!
Lawyer A asked lawyer B: Have you studied the four tricks all your life? Well, four strokes are just right, no more, no less. Don't let drinking coffee be too restrictive.
