impure

"A glass of mai tai."

Li Mu has already memorized the recipe fluently. If he is really asked to do it, he can do it.It's just that he's just a bartender now, and he can't mix drinks without permission.

The drinkers around were full of noise and joy, and Li Mu's emotions sank to the bottom of the water, and no one knew.

Manager Wang was in a good mood today, pulling Li Mu to talk about it, Li Mu smiled and coped with it, praying in his heart that this old man would not drink too much again, and he would have to stay and take care of him later.

"Is there a girl before your bar?" Manager Wang said suddenly, "Qi Liuhai, the one with the ponytail."

Li Mu handed him a small dish of olives, but for a moment he couldn't remember who he was talking about.Manager Wang frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly his brows relaxed, and he patted the table with his chubby hands, the liquid in the wine glass almost sloshing out, "I remembered, Zhu Zhu!"

Li Mu turned his head and subconsciously repeated the name, "Zhu Zhu?"

"Well, didn't I still work as a waiter here before. The name is quite special."

Li Mu smiled slightly, and then heard Manager Wang say: "I saw her in Hualang a few days ago, it's amazing, she's already a bartender!"

The smile on Li Mu's face froze slightly, but soon relaxed again, helping Manager Wang pass him the mai tai he ordered, "Really?"

In fact, after Zhu Zhu left Dionysia, he occasionally got news from Dionysia.The whole flower said it was not big, not to mention that the circle is so small, if you really want to find out about someone's current situation, it is really easy.

Hearing about the other party's current situation, Li Mu didn't find it strange.Zhu Zhu is talented and willing to work hard.Flying on a branch to become a phoenix, the branch is of course important, but more importantly because it is a rare bird, not a grass chicken.

Zhu Zhu finally realized his ideal.And what about Li Mu?

Can't even touch the shaker.

Manager Wang was still chatting enthusiastically, but Li Mu had already lost his mind.Suddenly, his hand hurt, Li Mu came back to his senses, and faced Liang Chuan's solemn expression, he quickly bowed his head and apologized.

He also heard Liang Chuan say coldly, "What are you apologizing for?"

Li Mu didn't say anything, and helped him fill the highball glass with ice cubes.

Yes, he didn't apologize for anything, Li Mu's heart was no longer in the present moment.His thoughts have drifted far, far away, to the starting point of his original dream. A little child less than one meter tall watched the jade liquid pouring from the cup, mixed with people's laughter, soaked in all kinds of drunkenness. In a drunken state, he regards the most common happiness in this world as his lifelong pursuit.

"Li Mu, pay attention." After a while, Liang Chuan threw a lemon into Li Mu's arms.Li Mu caught it and got a good word.

Today is Sunday, and there are not as many drinkers as in previous days.Everyone knows that they have to go to work the next day, so entertainment is restrained by coincidence.

After wiping the last glass, Li Mu watched the water drip slowly along the uneven pattern, and realized a problem, Yue Renge didn't come to him today.

Lost?not.

On the contrary, he felt that he had escaped a catastrophe, because he didn't have time to think about the question Yue Renge raised.

"I'll go first." Liang Chuan stood at the door, knocked on the door panel, and made a hollow "dong dong" sound.Li Mu nodded at him, watching Liang Chuan's back disappear into the night.All the lights of Dionysus are only for him.

It is rare to have such an opportunity to be alone.with wine.

The hustle and bustle of tonight has subsided, and the drinkers who were still sitting here just now ordered two glasses of martinis.The girl in the red dress in the corner lost her love today and was depressed all night.The waiter smashed a glass, causing screams.Li Mu stretched out his hand and pressed on the bar counter that had been wiped countless times, imagining himself standing here one day.

in another capacity.

The shaker is where it should be.Liang Chuan likes to use a three-piece shaker, which looks light and light, with a layer of soft light on the silver-gray surface.Liang Chuan uses it to mix various wines, adding vodka or whiskey.

The knives are quietly inserted into the knife holder.It is fierce, and it is easy not to appear on the stage, but it must be amazing when it appears.Liang Chuan had a good knife, he was able to crack ice cubes lightly, and he was also very flexible in peeling fruit.Li Mu felt that it seemed to grow in Liang Chuan's hands, and a person who uses a knife with a sharp edge can do anything well.

Then there's the wine measurer, stirring spoon, and strainer.Everyone likes differently.Li Mu picked them up and looked at them one by one. He cleaned them. He touched them countless times, but never really used them.

Zhu Zhu has become a bartender.

When Zhu Zhu told him with a serious face that she would become a bartender before the age of 26, Li Mu thought it was a fantasy.But now, the other party has realized his dream, but Li Mu is still spinning around.

Li Mu smiled, what are you doing?Do you regret not accepting Zhao Shengyan's invitation?

There is still a distance from the bartender, and Li Mu knows that even if he goes by himself, he may not be able to make any achievements.

Right now he was the only one left in the bar, Li Mu turned around and looked at the shelves full of fine wine, and suddenly wanted to make himself a glass of wine.

He hasn't done a serious bartending since he's been here.

It's not allowed, but it's okay.No one will know anyway.

Liang Chuan, I'm sorry, I'll use your tool for now.

Three parts gin, one vodka.The wine measuring device has not been touched for a long time, and the dosage is a little bit out of control for a while.Knowing that he had put too much vodka, Li Mu tilted his head and sighed. If you don't practice, you can learn by hand. This is an eternal truth.

There are too many recipes for Martini. It is said that more than 200 kinds can be found in specialized books.Li Mu only chose the one that impressed him the most. When he was a child, he watched movies and was obsessed with this part. He also imitated the hero in a foolish way and said, "Adrymartini, Shaken, notstirred".

Shake until cold enough to pour out.Li Mu realized his recklessness, and his hands were severely frozen.The heat was off and it was still cold at night.He estimated that it was almost there, and then carefully poured the wine into the glass.

It must be a martini glass, and the glass and wine must match, otherwise it will be neither fish nor fowl.He looked at his masterpiece with a little satisfaction, and always felt that something was missing, lemon peel!It's just that he can't consume a lemon for no reason. After thinking about it, he made a compromise and added an olive to the wine.

All moods are immersed in the clear moonlight.Li Mu has been busy for a while - the movements are not skillful, and the proportions are not in place. Every movement is stumbling, but it is barely completed.He hasn't really mixed drinks for some days, but fortunately no one is watching, no matter how clumsy he is, it's all his own.

Li Mu wanted to pick it up and taste it, no matter how bad it tastes, it's good to taste it.Accompanied by the bleak coldness of the spring night, a cold sentence hit her head and face, "Don't drink it, it must be very bad."

Li Mu shook his hand, half a glass of wine spilled on his clothes.

Liang Chuan crossed his arms and leaned against the door, "Dionys bar rules No. 15, non-bartenders are not allowed to drink alcohol without permission. No. 16, without permission, do not use other people's exclusive wine at will. Utensils. Once discovered, deal with them seriously."

"...Brother Chuan." Li Mu didn't care to wipe off the wine stains on his body, "I'm sorry."

This brat, it's quite quick to apologize.

Liang Chuan raised his eyebrows provocatively, and said to the people around him, "Your darling is taking the lead in breaking the rules now, should I take care of it or not?"

Li Mu raised his head, only to find that there was a pair of disappointed green eyes hidden behind Liang Chuan.

Yue Renge felt that he was really unlucky today.

He was just wandering around, fantasizing about running into Li Mu by chance, but he was caught by Liang Chuan who was off work.Naturally, Liang Chuan would not give up the opportunity to rub the car, so Yue Renge had no choice but to give him a ride.Unexpectedly, when they were about to get home, Liang Chuan's grandson found that he hadn't brought his mobile phone, so the two of them turned back again—coincidentally, they happened to have a panoramic view of Li Mu's whole process of committing the crime.

"Personal evidence," Liang Chuan pointed to himself and Yue Renge, "Physical evidence," and then pointed to the remaining half glass of martini on the bar, "it's all there."

What else can Yue Renge say, Yue Renge can only say that you can figure it out.

"Very good." Liang Chuan rejoiced, "You won't use it tomorrow."

Li Mu didn't say anything, and nodded after a while.Yue Renge tugged at Liang Chuan's sleeve, "As for?"

"That's right." Liang Chuan looked at him with a playful smile, but his tone was rare and serious, "Yue Renge, are you in charge of this Dionysia now or I? If it's me, then listen to me; if it's you , then I will resign tomorrow.”

Yue Renge was helpless, "Why do you..."

Liang Chuan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It seems that Yue always wants to take care of himself."

This is of course impossible.

Singer Yue Ren went to two stores, and there are usually a lot of miscellaneous things, so he came to Dionys to sneak in.Liang Chuan picked his weakness.

"Mr. Yue, Brother Chuan." Li Mu tidied up the bar silently, took off the apron that was stained with alcohol, and held it in his hands, "Brother Chuan is right. I violated the rules, and I should be punished logically. There are no rules, and I voluntarily accept the punishment."

"But..." Yue Renge still wanted to stay, but was pushed back by Liang Chuan's eyes.

"Okay." Liang Chuan nodded with satisfaction, "You still have a little self-knowledge. Is the bar cleaned? I won't count the money with you for the wine you used. I will let the accountant contact you. You have served ten times this month. Day shift, I'll ask her to pay you half a month."

Li Mu remained expressionless, "...Thank you Brother Chuan."

"I'm okay? Truly realize humanized management." Liang Chuan was complacent, and glanced at Yue Renge.Yue Renge ignored him, waved his hand, and left.

"Hey, hey, why are you walking so fast!" Liang Chuan yelled at Yue Renge's back, then turned his head and glanced at Li Mu.He seemed to be tired, so he yawned for a long time, and told Li Mu as if nothing had happened just now, "Okay, it's time to get off work. Are you not tired after staying every day? Go out for a walk, you don't have to stay here. Okay, okay, you can stay if you want, but before you leave, remember to close the door."
