7月17日10时，70岁的周伟女走进位于武义县山下鲍村山脚边的乡村咖啡馆，轻车熟路地依次按下开关，咖啡机、磨豆机随之运转。磨豆声应和蝉鸣，伴着满屋浮动的咖啡香，周伟女正式开启一天的营业。

“今年‘五一’假期最忙，每天都要接待两三百位游客、制作上百杯咖啡，双休日天气好的话，也会有百来位游客走上来喝咖啡。还有从宁波、金华组团来的外国留学生，特意找过来喝我做的咖啡。”面对突如其来的走红，周伟女有些许不好意思。从“留守奶奶”到炙手可热的古村咖啡师，年已七旬的她，在武义深山古村里上演了一场“银发逆袭”。

然而，很多人不知道的是，今年之前，周伟女从没有喝过咖啡，更别提做咖啡了。周伟女说，自己原本也和其他留村老人一样，每天在家里做做农活、看看电视，打发时间。转机出现在两年前，原本在杭州经商的外甥决定返乡经营村咖，盛情邀请周伟女担任“大厨”兼“内务总管”。自从来到村咖后，对新鲜事物充满好奇心的周伟女，常在做饭打杂之余，边看外甥制作咖啡边默记步骤。咖啡馆打烊后，周伟女就用当天剩余的物料练习做咖啡。渐渐地，她做的咖啡口味越来越稳定，会做的咖啡种类也越来越多。

今年清明假期的第一天，小店突然迎来大批客流，外甥急需外出采购物料，分身乏术，周伟女便自告奋勇充当“临时咖啡师”。没想到，客人们不仅称赞她做的咖啡好喝，还把周伟女做咖啡的视频发到网上，收获大波点赞和评论。自此，咖啡师周伟女正式上岗，短短数月，她熟练掌握美式、拿铁、生椰拿铁等六七种咖啡的制作技巧，最拿手的当属用自家武义宣莲做的宣莲拿铁。

每到夏天，周伟女都会在自家后院种下一池武义宣莲。采摘后，把莲子烘干研磨成细腻莲浆，加入冰糖调出天然清甜，融入现磨咖啡之中。莲香清润中和咖啡微苦，一口下去回甘绵长，是独属于武义古村落的山野风味。

来自肯尼亚的留学生Liam在品尝完宣莲拿铁后连连点赞，满脸惊喜：“我的家乡盛产咖啡，但我从未喝过莲子和咖啡的组合，实在太新奇了。草本植物的清甜融合咖啡香，特别好喝。”

褪去咖啡师身份，周伟女还是古村的“金牌讲解员”。“我们村年纪最大的房子有六七百岁，门前柱子两个人手拉手才能合抱。”空闲时，她总会热情带领游客穿梭古巷，细数百年老宅的历史故事。

At 10:00 on July 17th, 70 year old Zhou Wei walked into a rural caf é located at the foot of Baocun Mountain in Wuyi County. She skillfully pressed the switches one by one, and the coffee machine and grinder started running. With the sound of grinding beans and cicadas chirping, accompanied by the floating aroma of coffee throughout the house, Zhou Wei officially opened her day of business.

This year's May Day holiday is the busiest. Every day, we have to receive two to three hundred tourists and make hundreds of cups of coffee. If the weather is good on weekends, there will also be hundreds of tourists coming up to drink coffee. There are also foreign students from Ningbo and Jinhua who came in groups to drink the coffee I made. "Faced with the sudden popularity, Zhou Weinu felt a little embarrassed. From a "left behind grandmother" to a popular ancient village barista, at the age of seventy, she staged a "silver haired comeback" in a deep mountain ancient village in Wuyi.

However, what many people don't know is that before this year, Zhou Weinu had never drunk coffee, let alone made coffee. Zhou Weinu said that she used to be like other elderly people who stayed in the village, doing farm work and watching TV at home every day to pass the time. The turning point occurred two years ago when my nephew, who was originally doing business in Hangzhou, decided to return to his hometown to run a village caf é and warmly invited Zhou Weinu to serve as the "chef" and "head of the internal affairs department". Since arriving at the village caf é, Zhou Weinu, who is full of curiosity about new things, often watches her nephew make coffee while memorizing the steps while cooking and doing odd jobs. After the coffee shop closed, Zhou Weinu practiced making coffee with the remaining materials of the day. Gradually, the taste of the coffee she made became more and more stable, and the types of coffee she could make also increased.

On the first day of this year's Qingming Festival holiday, the small shop suddenly welcomed a large number of customers. My nephew urgently needed to go out to purchase materials and was exhausted. Zhou Wei's daughter volunteered to be a "temporary barista". Unexpectedly, the guests not only praised her for making delicious coffee, but also posted a video of Zhou Weinu making coffee online, receiving a large number of likes and comments. From then on, barista Zhou Weinu officially took up her job. In just a few months, she proficiently mastered the making techniques of six or seven types of coffee, including American style, latte, and coconut latte. Her most skilled one was undoubtedly the Xuan Lian latte made with her own Wuyi Xuan Lian.

Every summer, Zhou Weinu plants a pond of Wuyi Xuanlian in her backyard. After harvesting, dry and grind the lotus seeds into delicate lotus paste, add rock sugar to create a natural sweetness, and blend it into freshly ground coffee. The lotus fragrance is clear and smooth, and the coffee is slightly bitter. It is a unique mountain and wild flavor that belongs only to the ancient villages of Wuyi.

After tasting Xuan Lian Latte, Liam, an international student from Kenya, gave it a lot of likes and was pleasantly surprised: "My hometown is rich in coffee, but I have never tasted a combination of lotus seeds and coffee. It's really novel. The sweet herbal blend with coffee aroma is particularly delicious

Removing her identity as a barista, Zhou Weinu remains the "gold medal guide" of Gucun. The oldest house in our village is six or seven hundred years old, and only two people holding hands on the pillar in front of the door can embrace each other. In her free time, she always enthusiastically leads tourists through ancient alleys, recounting the historical stories of century old houses.
