impure

Before nine o'clock in the evening, the bar was already full of people.

Diony's business has always been stable, not a big hit, but always lively.A few bartenders were busy at the bar, and the sound of tinkling was continuous.Raising the lavender wine glass in his hand, Yue Renge looked at Li Mu who was busy beside Liang Chuan.

Handsome, really handsome.

Do you want salt or not?

Li Mu's hair was cut short, revealing a smooth forehead.A pair of sword eyebrows flew into the temples obliquely, and two star eyes shone brightly.He has the appearance of a decent young man, straight and upright, every inch is pleasing to the eye, looking at him, I can only feel that the sun is slowly flowing from the bottom of my heart.

Yue Renge took a sip of drink, leaned on the sofa and concentrated on admiring his wife.

Li Mu only felt that he was uncomfortable at work today, as if two eyes were shooting straight from a distance, making his whole body hairy.He wanted to look up, but there were too many people in the store to be distracted, and after a while, Liang Chuan called him over again.

Liang Chuan only glanced at the iron plate containing the ice cubes, and didn't say much, Li Mu understood.

Ice cubes are a must and consumable item in a bar.Unlike ordinary ice cubes, the ice cubes placed in the wine need to be completely transparent and crystal clear.It is not easy to make such ice cubes, but now most bars have purchased from specialized manufacturers, and even cut them, and no longer do it by themselves.

The supply of ice cubes is not enough right now, it's simple, just buy it again.

Li Mu came back with a whole tray of ice cubes, and put it heavily beside Liang Chuan. "This is the last point," he said. "I'll call the factory back and ask them to deliver it tomorrow."

"Stay after get off work." Putting the ice back in place, Liang Chuan said, "I'll teach you how to carve ice."

Do you want to learn how to cut ice cubes?

Li Mu has already played with the wine measurer and stirring spoon, Yue Renge did not break his promise, and got him an electronic scale.Li Mu practiced day and night with those gadgets every day. Yue Renge accompanied him and said with a smile that the long stirring spoon was Li Mu's magic wand.

Ji Ligulu uttered a series of spells, the pumpkin turned into a carriage, the cold kiln turned into a palace, Cinderella... no, Cinderella turned into a princess.

Li Mu made rapid progress, even if Liang Chuan was so stingy to praise him, he reluctantly gave him some recognition.Just when Li Mu thought that the next step was to hold the shaker and start shaking the drink handsomely, the old man said lightly and beat Li Mu back to before liberation.

You want me to learn how to cut ice cubes?

Li Mu was puzzled, but Li Mu didn't say anything.He responded and filled Liang Chuan's shaker with ice.

Liang Chuan glanced at him and put the lid on the shaker.

The last guest left at 01:30 am.The lights were few and scattered silently on the brown bar.The floor has just been mopped, and there is still a faint smell of disinfectant.The tables and chairs have been placed neatly, as if the noise and wantonness just now have become scenes in a dream.

It's funny to say, what is a dream and what is reality?Li Mu often walks on the edge of dreams and reality, once or twice, without consciously confusing all of them.

While tidying up the bar, Li Mu was thinking that he should call Yue Renge to report extra classes tonight.Several other interns were sent away by Liang Chuan, Li Mu packed up the odds and ends and waited for Liang Chuan to teach him.

But after waiting and waiting for no one to come out, Li Mu looked in the back kitchen while Liang Chuan was on the phone.

He arched his back slightly, the black shirt drew an arc on his back, and a tuft of hair was raised on the back of his head, which should be because he broke his hairstyle last night.Liang Chuan said gruffly, "Don't worry about my affairs...are you annoying?"

Got into a fight with your lover?

Li Mu pricked up his ears, Liang Chuan didn't look like he had a partner - he was not ugly, even a little handsome.But if there is a partner, who still hangs in the bar every day?

He heard Liang Chuan say again: "I don't have time this weekend! Are you coming? I don't have time to see you when you come. I'm busy, that's all."

Sure enough, there was a quarrel.

Li Mu quickly came to the conclusion that Liang Chuan was really a straight man, so he couldn't speak properly if he had something to say?

In fact, Li Mu himself is still a novice, but for some reason he is very courageous.

Liang Chuan hung up the phone and sulked for a while.Put your phone in your pocket, put your hands on your hips, and blow on that beard that doesn't exist.Li Mu hesitated, should he remind this old man that he is still here waiting for him to make a fuss?

"Come out." Liang Chuan seemed to have eyes behind him, and before Li Mu could finish hesitating, Liang Chuan blasted him out loudly, "What are you doing hiding behind?"

Hehe, hehe, Li Mu had no choice but to come out scratching his head, "Brother Chuan, are you still in class tonight?"

Liang Chuan rolled his eyes, "Go and take out the ice cubes from the ice machine. It was frozen before, and it should be usable now."

Dionys has his own ice machine, which is expensive and takes up a little space.Li Mu didn't pay much attention to this piece before. Ice cubes are the icing on the cake after all. Good ice cubes can certainly affect the taste of wine, but even if they don't, Li Mu feels that it doesn't seem to make much difference.

He kept muttering in his heart, but Li Mu still complied.A large block of ice lay on the desk.This is a very beautiful piece of ice, square and square, with a layer of white underneath, because impurities were forced to the bottom during the freezing process.The rest of it was translucent and crystal-clear, and it was cold.Through the ice, Li Mu saw Liang Chuan's serious face.

"Ice cubes are very important. We must use transparent ice cubes, which melt slowly and evenly. Many cocktails are made with it. If we use ordinary ice cubes to mix drinks, not only can't Controlling the proportion of water directly affects the taste of wine.”

Liang Chuan was not as tense as he was when he quarreled just now, and he gave the lecture with the usual seriousness of the teacher, "Actually, you can use common mineral water to freeze ice cubes to ensure basic quality and hygiene; the freezing method is more critical, use a special machine to freeze, The direction of icing is different. Our machine starts icing from top to bottom, so that impurities can sink to the bottom, and transparent ice can be produced to the maximum."

Liang Chuan explained the principle of the ice machine clearly in a few words, looked at Li Mu, "Do you understand?"

Of course Li Mu understood, he hesitated for a moment, "But now there is a way to order ice cubes, why should we make them ourselves?"

Cutting ice cubes is not an easy and pleasant task, and accidents can cause work-related injuries.The ice is very cold, even if you wear gloves, it is uncomfortable to cut ice and cut ice in summer.This is why the tradition of making your own ice cubes was abandoned in Basten.

Of course, Li Mu is not afraid of suffering, he is not afraid of jigger and stir exercises, they must be used, but since ice chiseling is replaced by professionals, why bother asking for trouble?

Li Mu is just used to breaking the casserole and asking the end.Just ask if you don't understand, and Liang Chuan doesn't like it very much.

The teacher raised his eyebrows provocatively, "It seems that you have your own ideas?"

It was a dangerous question to ask, and combined with Liang Chuan's character, as usual, everyone should hurry up and slip away.But Li Mu shook his head, he nodded, "I just don't understand why we do this. If it's really not necessary, we can optimize it."

Liang Chuan dropped the dagger in his hand with a "bang", which startled Li Mu.Liang Chuan was still smiling, but he laughed hard, "I thought you were still down-to-earth and learning things honestly. I didn't expect you to show your true colors after just a few days."

Li Mu was wronged.It's just a normal comment, and it's not that I really don't want to learn.He knew Liang Chuan's temper, and it was inconvenient to talk back to him at this moment, but his eyes met the other's gaze without fear.

Liang Chuan sneered.

Li Mu tightened his back.

"Don't look at me like that." The smile on Liang Chuan's face faded, "You can also give opinions? Can you weigh yourself? Li Mu, do you want to optimize? It's early!"

Li Mu knew that he was careless in what he said. Liang Chuan was capable, but he had a weird personality. If he didn't pay attention to a sentence, he would memorize it in his heart and misinterpret it. No matter how he looked back, it wouldn't help.He retracted his gaze and focused on the floor in front of him.

Liang Chuan was so angry that he just let out the anger that was suffocating in his heart at Li Mu, the innocent culprit, "If you don't want to learn, don't learn. I am willing to teach you, and you are still picking and choosing here? Why don't you just turn around and clean your toilet?" Raise your mint, so as not to dislike each other. Reading is really stupid, and you don’t understand the most basic principles. Go out and ask, where can you learn some real skills like this?”

Li Mu was sprayed wildly, and he was about to rush up in a fit of anger.He wanted to retaliate, but his rationality parachuted. That was Liang Chuan. If he really wanted to retaliate against him, he would ruin his own future.Li Mu endured and endured, only when he himself was abandoned by his wife, and he was so angry that no one liked it, after a long time, he finally said: "I'm sorry, Brother Chuan."

After Liang Chuan was finished, he felt refreshed, but his heart beat wildly.How the hell is it so hot?Isn't it summer yet?He just felt a little dizzy, the big ice bricks on the desk melted a lot, dripping down, and a small lake flowed out.

Liang Chuan supported the bar with one hand, took a breath, regained his composure, and subconsciously softened his tone, "Forget it, I was not in a good mood today. How about this, you put the ice back and clean it up. What can I say? Let's talk tomorrow."

Li Mu stopped talking too much, and ran away with the ice cubes in his hand.

Liang Chuan propped himself up on the bar for a while, wondering if he had reached menopause, and he would feel dizzy if he got angry.Probably really pissed off.

Small ice cubes are really not a big deal.If you don’t want to learn, don’t learn. Li Mu is right. Nowadays, many bars order ice cubes directly from outside, which is cheap and easy, so why not do it.

But Liang Chuan was so obstinate.As for why he was so angry, probably only he knew the reason.

Liang Chuan's face was cold and his mouth was poisonous. Everyone was afraid of him.It is wrong to say that he hates Li Mu.After working in the bar for so many years, he has brought several apprentices one after another. Liang Chuan counted them on his fingers, and there are not many who can compare with Li Mu.

What's more, how many times have I secretly thought that the current Li Mu is somewhat similar to the original self.

Just because of appreciation, I hope that he will walk swiftly and steadily, and I hope that with my own strength, the other party can avoid many obstacles and detours.What's more, it's the beginner stage, and you have to lay a solid foundation in everything you learn. Whether the other party thinks it's cumbersome or pedantic, it's not in Liang Chuan's consideration.

It's a pity that he has a heart to love his disciples, but his behavior is rough and reckless.A good tutoring class turned into a scene of trolling.

Concern is chaos.

All the things he cared about, but because of his caring, eventually went away from him.After living in my thirties, how come I still don’t understand these things.

Liang Chuan closed his eyes, raised his hand to rub his temples, and took a long breath for a long time.

Li Mu was the last to leave again.

Of course it doesn't feel good to be sprayed.Li Mu felt as if he had screwed up again.He packed his things and prepared to turn off the lights and leave.Before leaving, he glanced here again.

Dionysia is really a magical place, Li Mu thought.Obviously there are so many unpleasant things here, but why is he always reluctant to leave?

Maybe it's because I'm incompetent.Li Mu grinned.What if he were Zhu Zhu?Maybe he has already spread his wings and flew high, the sky is vast, and there is always room for him to soar.

But he is nobody, he is just Li Mu.

Li Mu closed the door desolately, regretting what he said wrong today.It was past two o'clock, and everything was still.I don't know if Yue Renge has fallen asleep.Since it's already so late, Li Mu thought, it's not bad to just walk back.

Just as he was thinking about it, the headlights of a car in the distance turned on at him.Li Mu was a little startled, seeing someone get out of the car.

"I'm free to come out for a stroll." The other party said the long wait lightly, "By the way, let's see how you are doing tonight?"
