Chapter 687: Chapter 687

Could Mo Fei lose tonight, and she win?

It seemed a bit unimaginable because his craftsmanship was acclaimed; last year’s champion. He had never even heard of her little partner, let alone that they actually intended to fool the judges with a paper cup.

The three judges seemed to shake their heads at the unique paper cup coffee, not even desiring to taste it.

But out of respect for the competitors, they all had to score. After reluctantly taking a sip, the judges continued to shake their heads and went on to score.

Yang Zhilin found this somewhat surprising and asked her mother, who was a judge: "What do you think?" Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

Mrs. Yang had taken a sip of Gu Nuan’s coffee. Of course, she had already planned what to do for her daughter, but had not expected Gu Nuan’s strength to be just that?

It seemed like her assistance for her daughter was a wasted trip because it seemed there was no need for her to intervene.

"The taste is strange," Mrs. Yang honestly remarked.

If she found the taste odd, one could only imagine what the other two pickier judges thought.

The first round was over, and it was time for the second round.

This round involved choosing one’s coffee beans, which was undoubtedly Zhuang Haoran’s forte.

Luca felt very relaxed about this because based on the scoring of the first round, Zhuang Haoran’s score was far ahead of the others, with no pressure of winning tonight’s championship. The only thing that made him slightly anxious was wondering what Gu Nuan intended to do, as Zhuang Haoran mentioned.

In the second round, Gu Nuan’s group used the same seemingly ridiculous paper cups.

Without close observation, it seemed no one knew why those cups were laughable.

Gradually, all the contestants and judges could unexpectedly sense a change in the atmosphere both inside and outside the venue. The audience seemed not focused on who would win tonight, but instead, they all took out their cameras to photograph Gu Nuan’s group’s strange paper cups.

"Although I’ve never tasted their coffee, don’t you think the coffee cups they’re holding are so entertaining?"

"My son and daughter seem very curious about the coffee cups in their hands."

"Why are the coffee cups so odd? The ones we’ve seen before are nothing like what they’re holding."

Yes, what was spontaneously named ’the joker’ by the audience was the new type of coffee paper cup that Gu Nuan’s group presented. Indeed, such a coffee cup had never been seen before in any market, in any corner of the world.

Perhaps, someone had once tried to use clay to create uniquely shaped coffee cups, but the obvious disadvantage of ceramic coffee cups compared to paper cups is that they’re hard to promote and distribute, hard for everyone to have one, and hard to change at will. Once a design is set, it can’t be changed.

As for paper cups, they’re made of eco-friendly cardboard and can result in a myriad of variations. Yet, no coffee business had ever thought to add creativity to the paper cups. Therefore, the coffee paper cups provided by coffee shops on the market are all the same: plain cups with a logo, and nothing more.

People have focused too much on the quality of the coffee itself, seemingly disregarding what container it comes in as not their concern. In reality, packaging has become increasingly important for goods today. A fine item like coffee requires appreciation. What container one uses to savor such a fine drink is naturally something producers need to consider. They can’t neglect the inner desire of even low-end customers for the ultimate perfection.
