impure

The neon lights are flickering, and the night in Huadu has come.The girl playing the guitar at the bar had thick bangs, and her smoky eye makeup set off her small face with only a little greenish white.

Liang Chuan took a puff of the cigarette, and the nicotine diffused slowly into the lungs through his throat, and then sprayed white mist from his mouth and nostrils, confusing the light in front of him.

The girl's hoarse voice sang an R&B song, which was out of tune throughout.Liang Chuan shook the ashes into the glass, and the gray ashes fell into the orange wine, like the ruins of a volcano that had just erupted.

"What a waste." Someone sat down in front of him.Liang Chuan frowned slightly, and looked up at the other party with some doubts.It was a young man with a cropped head and a small dimple around the corner of his mouth.It looks like it might be a few years younger than myself.

"Waste what?" Liang Chuan put the cigarette to his mouth and took another puff.

"You haven't had a few sips of this glass of wine," said the other party, "you're using it to dust off cigarettes."

Where did this little drinking cop come from.Liang Chuan laughed secretly, "It's a waste to make the wine so bad."

The face of the other party changed slightly, and he was a little surprised, "Why doesn't it taste good?"

Liang Chuan simply threw the whole cigarette into the cup, and a long stream of smoke came out from "Zi La", "It's just personal taste. It has nothing to do with you, right?"

Liang Chuan swiped his card to settle the bill, then turned and left.

The cropped man followed closely behind him, "Hey, I think you always come these days. How about... let's get to know each other?"

Bad start.But the inch-cut man had sincere eyes, and he didn't look like a bad guy.Best of all, he actually wears a bar uniform.Although the clothes didn't fit well, there was a sense of tightness that didn't make people feel cramped.

Liang Chuan turned his head, "Liang Chuan."

"what?"

Liang Chuan smiled, "Didn't you mean to get to know each other? My name is Liang Chuan."

Cun Tou obviously couldn't keep up with the other party's rhythm, so he immediately smiled, "Hello, Liang Chuan, my name is Zhao Shengyan... Oh, I'm the bartender of this bar... er, I'm also the owner."

Liang Chuan looked up at the signboard of the bar, Hua Lang.It's a good name, Liang Chuan thought, but he probably won't come to this bar again.He nodded and looked at Zhao Shengyan, "Then... leave."

This is Liang Chuan's first month in Huadu.

Not long after the Beijing Olympics, the whole country is still immersed in the aftertaste of the fierce competition.The autumn tiger is fierce, and it is still a little hot at night.Liang Chuan rented a private house next to Bar Street.

He gently pushed the door open with a "squeak".There seemed to be a dark shadow running across the room, it was a stray cat roaming around the area.Liang Chuan "meowed" twice, and a pair of copper-yellow eyes flashed faintly in the darkness.Liang Chuan took out a bag of cat food from behind the door, poured half a basin for the little black cat, and placed it by the door.

The lights on this floor have long been broken, and Liang Chuan is also familiar with the layout here.Xiao Hei hesitated for a moment, then walked slowly to Liang Chuan's feet and began to eat.

Liang Chuan looked at the cat for a while, stretched his waist, and prepared to go upstairs to sleep.

He rented a loft.Those big rooms with good lighting have been rented out long ago, and he can't afford to rent them.There was nothing wrong with the attic, he took a shower, fell on the creaking single bed, looked at the stars all over the sky outside the window, and thought that tomorrow would be another fine weather.

A good day to do nothing without finding a job.

Leaving his job in his hometown and coming to Huadu, Liang Chuan is an out-and-out weirdo in the eyes of others.However, his parents died young, and he almost grew up savagely, and his relatives avoided him, and had no intention of caring about his life or death.They also laughed at Liang Chuan's resignation, which was deviant.

By the way, it has become a classic case of adults educating children.

"Don't be like your cousin/cousin/cousin, who is in his twenties and has nowhere to go."

Yes, when Liang Chuan came to Huadu, apart from his flesh and blood, he only had the 5000 yuan he had saved from working in the steel factory.Before spending all the money, Liang Chuan had to find a job.

But what can he do?

Liang Chuan stopped looking at the stars, he was looking at the ceiling.

Zhao Shengyan's smile flashed in front of him.

You can't be a bartender, can you?Then don't be a bartender in a crappy bar like that.

Going to sleep, Liang Chuan closed his eyes a little disturbedly, and turned over.

"Oh, you're here." When Xiaocuntou saw him, his face was full of smiles, "Sit, sit, wait. I'll make you a glass of wine."

When the bar opened, Liang Chuan couldn't help but walked into the bar.To be honest, he didn't know why he came here again.Maybe it's because he lives close by, Liang Chuan has a boring temper, but he likes places that are more lively.Lively places with lively people, such as here and Zhao Shengyan.

It could also be because it's cheap.

There are not many guests around, sitting in twos and threes, a big brother with a flower arm wearing a big gold chain is drinking G&T, sitting next to a beautiful woman, who looks like an animated movie.

"I haven't said what I want to drink yet." Liang Chuan smiled and looked at Zhao Shengyan.

"Yesterday you ordered a screwdriver," Zhao Shengyan began to mix the drink skillfully, his movements were chic, and he dazzled in front of Liang Chuan, "You said it's not good, I wonder if it's my problem. So, I have to drink again today. Please taste it."

"It wasn't my order, so I won't pay for it." Liang Chuan said with a smile.

Zhao Shengyan still smiled, "It's okay, I invite you."

In my hometown, there were not many bars.When he came to Huadu for the first time, Liang Chuan entered here with curiosity at first.Some people sing and there are outdoor seats. In Huadu in 2008, it was considered quite fashionable.However, there are not many people here.

It is not without reason that such a good location and such a friendly price cannot attract people.

"Here." Zhao Shengyan pushed the mixed wine in front of Liang Chuan, "Taste it."

"Is there any difference?" Liang Chuan asked.

Zhao Shengyan said with a smile, "You think it's the difference between good and bad."

The base of vodka, the blend of orange juice, a lot of ice cubes.Although simple, the requirements for balance are not low.Yesterday's wine tasted like an orange drink.Liang Chuan glanced at the cup, "Your ice cubes are melting too fast."

"Ah." Zhao Shengyan scratched his head, "The ice cubes in our bar are indeed... so you have to drink it quickly."

Liang Chuan smiled lightly.But the smile quickly disappeared.

"Could it be that it was frozen in the refrigerator? There are impurities like this." Liang Chuan said, "The quality of the ice cubes will directly affect the taste of the wine. You have to use that kind of pure ice cubes, which will melt slowly and the taste of the wine will be better." People don’t rush to drink.”

Zhao Shengyan was a little dumbfounded.

Zhao Shengyan has a little money in his family. After graduating from university, he opened a bar with his father's funds. He was a bartender, a boss, and sometimes a waiter.As for why not hire more people?Because the money is all used up.

However, Zhao Shengyan's mentality is quite good, and he enjoys making small troubles.You say business?The business is alright, but it may be a long way off to get back the money.

Zhao Shengyan originally thought, just keep going like this, and when the bar becomes a ten-year-old shop, everything will be fine.Then, Liang Chuan came.

Liang Chuan came for a week in a row, and he also observed for a week in a row.This is a very special man who ordered different wines every time, but never finished the wine every time.

It can't help but hit people a little bit.

Of course, Zhao Shengyan noticed him at first because he was handsome.Clean and neat dress, shirts and suits that are unshakable every day.The hair is slightly long, but not sloppy.Under the black-rimmed glasses is a pair of calm eyes.

Drinking looks like that, take a sip, frown, and put it down.Occasionally, I would take two extra sips, most of the time to dust off cigarettes.

He was sure that this person knew about wine.Otherwise, this person is an arrogant pretender.

Facts have proved that Liang Chuan should be the former.

So what is the problem?

"Boss," the flower-armed elder brother wearing a big gold chain came over, and smashed the wine glass on the ground with a "snap", "What kind of broken wine are you all, it's too bad to drink!"

The female guests around screamed and fled in all directions, but Liang Chuan didn't move, knowing that he had accidentally encountered trouble.He glanced at Zhao Shengyan, wondering what he would do.

"I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry," Zhao Shengyan nodded and bowed, "If you are not satisfied, I will make another cup for you..."

"What's the use of making another cup? It's still bad." Brother Huayi blew his beard and stared, "Free order!"

"Okay, free of charge." Zhao Shengyan smiled.

Liang Chuan frowned.

"What are you doing? Do you have an opinion?" Brother Huayi glanced at Liang Chuan, "What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing." Liang Chuan said, "I think you're right, his wine should be quite bad. But since it's bad, why do you keep coming here?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback.

"Yesterday you were sitting in the garden, the day before yesterday you were at the window seat, and the day before yesterday you were at the bar, ordering Mojito, G&T, and Margarita." Liang Chuan said lightly, "As far as I know, No matter what kind of wine this store produces, the quality of the wine is quite stable. Even though you know it’s bad, but you still drink it, I don’t know if you have a problem with your taste, or something wrong with your brain?”

"Liang Chuan!" Zhao Shengyan was in a hurry, he didn't want bloodshed to happen on his territory.

Brother Huaarm was stunned by Liang Chuan's question.Subconsciously glanced at the female companion beside him, Liang Chuan said with a smile: "Why don't I make you a drink, what do you want to drink? Order whatever you want, no charge."

He paused and continued: "But we have to make an agreement. If you are satisfied, I will send you out after paying for the cup. If you are not satisfied, you don't have to pay for the cup. We will close the shop and leave."

Liang Chuan looked thin, as if he could be knocked down with one palm.It seems to be a college student who has just graduated, or a middle school teacher, in short, it doesn't look like he would appear in a bar.

Brother Huaarm was nailed to the spot by his words, and it took him a long time to recover.In fact, he doesn't know much about wine either, it's just that the girl who just got drunk said that today's wine tasted weird, and wanted to show off his masculine charm, so the innocent glass became a victim.

He didn't expect to meet Liang Chuan, who was so stubborn.

Zhao Shengyan whispered, "Xiao Liang, Brother Liang, don't be impulsive..."

Liang Chuan gave him a reassuring look, meaning, trust me, it's okay.

"Okay." After a while, Brother Huayi suddenly smiled, "I want to see what you can do."
