impure

At 04:30 in the afternoon, Li Mu involuntarily glanced out the window. Usually at this time, he was already on his way to Dionysia.He is a rare person who actively goes to work, but today, it is different.

Things fermented faster than he had imagined. In just half a day, that video with more than one million views pushed Li Mu, a little-known bartender, to the forefront.

In fact, the emotional entanglement between men and women is nothing new, but Liang Chuan came up with a superficial reason why the popularity of this matter skyrocketed: because Li Mu is handsome.

Good-looking is a scarce resource, even if it comes out of dope.What's more, Li Mu is such an out-and-out handsome folk guy, thrown into the entertainment circle to hang and beat all the little fresh meat; he also has a special skill, which is like a pearl falling into the grass in the hearts of the people, which is even more distressing.

Those mixed voices gradually divided into two factions: one group envied rich women for their good fortune, and the other group speculated whether handsome men dislike rich women and prefer handsome men.

All of them are like a thousand needles, piercing Li Mu's heart.

Li Mu suddenly realized that he might have overestimated his mental quality earlier.Facing those well-intentioned inquiries and malicious speculations, he couldn't help but worry. What would happen to him if he really met people face to face?

But he had already promised Yue Renge, so he would not choose to back down.

Outside the window is still the clear blue sky, washing everything clean.Li Mu's heart was full of ups and downs and chaotic emotions, those rough needles and threads popped up from time to time, and submerged again, messing up his emotions.For the first time, he knew that human speech was such a terrible thing.

Liang Chuan stayed in the bar early.He still had a serious face, when he saw Li Mu, he just rolled his eyelids calmly.Li Mu noticed his indifference, and without making a sound, he quickly walked to the lounge, changed his clothes, and started to prepare for work.

None of the interns who came some time ago remained.Among the bartenders, Li Mu has the least qualifications, so he naturally has to take care of the bar preparation.

Li Mu knew that he was a bit late, so his hands and feet became more agile, and he started to do those odd jobs.

Open files, bartend, clean up.The job of a bartender is surprisingly dull.Many people feel that it is completely different from what they imagined after doing it for a while, and finally leave with disappointment.

When Li Mu returned to the front desk, Dionysia already had a few guests.

He subconsciously glanced at the time, it was six past five.

Today is Monday.

It's a little strange.

Huadu ranks among the first-tier cities in China, so it naturally has the style and style of a first-tier city.Li Mu honed in Dionysia for some time, and he has a lot of understanding of the work rules of young people today.It's a working day right now, and it's not completely dark yet, so there are a lot more guests now than in the past. If you think about it with your toes, you can guess that the video is credited.

"What are you doing in a daze? Someone ordered the sidecar." Liang Chuan gave him a sideways glance, and Li Mu only felt his skin tighten, and started to work.

Once busy, those emotions were swept away.

The sidecar is a blend of cognac, triple sec and lemon juice that dates back to the end of World War I.This orange juice-like drink has a sweet and deceptive exterior.Sitting in front of the bar was an immature face, who looked like a college student who had just escaped from the girls' dormitory.

"Handsome guy, is that you in the video?" The little girl stared at Li Mu seriously for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, "You look much better than the one in the video."

Li Mu smiled, took out a piece of lemon peel, pulled it, and the faint fragrance diffused. "Thanks."

The girl is young after all, confused by that bright smile, she took the drink nonchalantly, "Can I take a picture of you?"

"Why did you shoot me?" Li Mufang softened his tone, "Our brother Chuan looks better."

The girl and her companion looked at each other and almost screamed, "Are you really a couple?"

No matter how low the voice was, Liang Chuan still heard it.He made a stinky face, "What do you think it looks like?"

The little girls nodded excitedly, the little milk dog matched the old fox, and the master and apprentice yyds.Liang Chuan rolled his eyes, what look.

"He is my teacher." Li Mu patiently explained, "It's not the kind of relationship you imagined."

The girls looked pale, "But it's okay," they said, "Come on, we're all behind you."

What do you support?Li Mu was puzzled, looked at the girls' sincere eyes, and shook his head helplessly.

Since there were people blatantly sitting at the bar and chatting with Li Mu, there were also some secretly poking and poking and hiding in the dark to observe.Li Mu usually only focused on the shaker in his hand and the guests in front of him, but today it was different. Those guests seemed to be chatting with each other, and it seemed that they were all talking about him.If you look casually, you can almost catch curious eyes.

"This is the bartender in the video."

"It looks like a dog."

"If it's not good-looking, can it be eaten by men and women?"

Li Mu almost suspected that he was delusional, those whispers hidden under the wine glass, between the eyes, all blowing to his ears along the undercurrent of Dionysia.

Yue Renge is not here today.

In fact, Yue Renge's absence is not a novelty, he is the boss, he holds several positions, and Thyme, which runs in the south of the city, has just started on the right track.But Li Mu really wanted to meet Yue Renge at this moment—even if they had just met not long ago.

"You're distracted again." Liang Chuan floated past him, "Peel a few slices of lemon peel."

"Okay." Li Mu tried his best to straighten his back, "Orange peel..."

"Lemon peel." Liang Chuan reminded him.

Li Mu was startled for a moment, then nodded.

Learning how to use knives is a compulsory course for Li Mu on the road to become a bartender. Everyone is looking for the most suitable knives and usage methods in the long-term training.Whether you are cutting ice cubes, or peeling and cutting fruit, you cannot do without a knife.Li Mu watched a video of Liang Chuan's early years, a flying knife made in Germany dazzled his eyes, a real show of skill.

Li Mu is not at this level yet.He took a washed lemon and peeled off a small piece of lemon peel with a knife.The faint wind brought the whispers of the guests, silently crashing into Li Mu's ears.In the fully air-conditioned room, Li Mu's forehead was dripping with sweat.

There was a dazzling red in front of his eyes.Immediately, the pain spread from the fingertips.

"Li Mu?"

"Li Mu!"

He came back to his senses, and met Liang Chuan's eager eyes, "You're hurt!"

I'm injured?Li Mu looked down, the blood was all over his hands, and the little girl at the bar screamed.

"It's okay." Li Mu squeezed out a smile, "It's just a small injury."

Liang Chuan turned his head and directed the other bartenders to continue fighting, and hurriedly pushed Li Mu to the back kitchen, "Go and get bandaged! There is a medicine box in the lounge!" He wanted to turn back, but he was worried, so he shook his head and stomped his feet, and simply followed passed together.

He wiped off the blood stains on his hands, revealing a not-so-small wound.Liang Chuan was a little dizzy, grinning his teeth when he saw it. He wanted to touch it but didn't dare to touch it. He just acted as a supervisor, "Wrap another layer, yes...don't wrap so much, you think it's zongzi?"

Li Mu laughed.

Liang Chuan glared, "Laugh, what a fart, can you still laugh?"

Li Mu quickly restrained his smile.The pain spread, and he couldn't help frowning.

"You're not in the right shape today." Seeing that he had healed the wound, Liang Chuan suppressed his agitation, and showed a calmness rarely seen in the past. "I almost forgot to add lemon juice to the sidecar I adjusted just now."

"I know you have emotions, it's normal. We're all human, who can't be affected." Liang Chuan remembered the eyes that those little girls gave them, and his old blood was still coughing up in his chest, "But since you're here for work, We must do the job well. If you cut your hands today, what about tomorrow?"

What Liang Chuan said was not unreasonable.

For the first time, Li Mu accepted the training obediently, "Brother Chuan, I'm sorry."

"Don't tell me you're sorry, you don't owe me anything." Liang Chuan felt sorry for his apprentice, and his tone didn't feel any softer, "This matter is not over yet, and Lao Yue is still running around to settle this matter. To put it bluntly Although this matter is caused by you, it is not that simple. It is the matter of our entire Dionysus, and no one can escape."

After a pause, Liang Chuan said, "What we should do, we will do; what we should accept, we will accept. We need time."

Yes, it takes time.

Li Mu nodded, "I know."

The corners of Liang Chuan's eyes raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "It's good that you know. Come out to work after you've had a rest. There's not enough manpower today. Even if your hand is broken, don't try to be lazy."

"Understood, Brother Chuan." Li Mu sniffed, followed Liang Chuan, and walked forward step by step.

The two little girls in front of the bar had already left, and the guests came and went, as if they had changed a batch.The bar is such a fluid place.

Li Mu returned to his post, but fortunately his left hand was injured.A guest looked at him curiously, and Li Mu retracted his hands unnaturally.

"Don't be afraid." Liang Chuan whispered.

Li Mu glanced at him, then moved his gaze to the door unconsciously.

Yu Yan'

There is a long wooden ladder, and people come in from time to time.Brightly dressed men and women in colorful costumes.The smell of wine is mixed with the smell of various perfumes, and the city is not short of beautiful people, nor is it short of novel scandals.

Unknowingly, some inexplicable calm came out of my heart.Li Mu looked away, and when he was about to make a new glass of wine, a woman in a red dress appeared gracefully.

The color of the red dress was dazzling, just like the puddle of blood on Li Mu's palm.The woman also wore heavy make-up, with two thick eyebrows, flying pretty slantingly, showing a faint murderous look; her cheekbones were already high, but when they were glossed off, she had a fierce look.And the pretty bridge of the nose and plump red lips made her facial features not so sharp, but instead showed a touch of charm.

It can be seen that she is a little old, but that age has become her charm.On the slender neck is a string of shining pearl necklaces.In his hand is a small black satchel, the metal buttons are shining with dazzling luster.

She brushed aside the crowd, and walked straight to the bar like a flower brushing against a willow.Someone pulled out the chair for her.The woman Shi Shiran sat down, glanced at her, her eyes rolled, and she smiled charmingly.

"Have a glass of whiskey." She said, her eyes fell on Li Mu's astonished face again, "Xiao Mu, long time no see."

Li Mu smiled at her in relief, "Long time no see."

Who doesn't know this woman?It was the richest man in Huadu, Wang Xinyan.
