impure

"I'll replace you? No, no, no!" Li Mu shook his head a series of times, "Why am I here? Isn't there Amy? She has more seniority and experience." Li Mu observed the eyes of others, "Anyway, it's not my turn yet. I."

In the small lounge, there are only three people, Liang Chuan, Yue Renge, and Li Mu.

After taking the medicine, Liang Chuan calmed down a bit, curled up on the sofa chair with peeling paint leather, his two long and narrow eyes seemed to be closed but not closed,

"I said you can do whatever you want." Liang Chuan's face was still pale, but it was better than before, "Annie said that the part we shot just now is needed, and in order to ensure the continuity of the video, I still need you to appear on the scene. "

Li Mu stopped talking, Li Mu looked at Liang Chuan, and then at Yue Renge.

"Actually, we don't really have to choose anyone," Yue Renge pondered after a while, "Our main character is wine. It doesn't matter whether the bartender is Liang Chuan or you, the key is to show the characteristics of the wine , and of course, our bartending philosophy.”

"You are Liang Chuan's student, and you are also one of our best bartenders." Yue Renge raised his hand to hold Li Mu's shoulder, and sank down hard, "I hope you can represent what Liang Chuan wanted to express. Show it."

Express ideas?can he

If it is messed up, wouldn't it take the entire Dionys face to shame?

No... Li Mu will not let such a thing happen.

"Okay, then I'll go."

Not knowing where the courage came from, Li Mu squeezed his fists, "I won't embarrass you... I will try my best."

Liang Chuan looked relieved, "You never embarrass us."

When Li Mu returned to the bar, Annie was the first to rush forward, "Is he alright?"

"It's okay, it's just an old problem." Li Mu comforted her, "He's not in good health recently."

"He's so young..." Annie couldn't believe it, "Then what should we do now?"

"If you don't mind, I'll do the next job of bartending."

For this shoot, Liang Chuan took Li Mu to do a lot of homework.Not only did he touch the shooting process several times, but he also took the few glasses of wine that Li Mu was going to mix to get a good feel for it.Talking about the historical story behind a small glass of wine is also very clear.

The tacit understanding between Li Mu and Liang Chuan was gradually perfected during those few days of cooperation.

"Little handsome guy," Annie smiled, "Can you?"

Li Mu also smiled, "Yes."

The second glass of wine is a bit of a gimmick. The difficulty lies not in bartending, but in ice sculpture.

According to the original plan, Liang Chuan wanted to ice-carve a martini glass for Annie.Liang Chuan didn't like this at first, he thought the key was to highlight the wine, not the bartender showing off his skills.But he succumbed to the beauty and cheated his apprentice by the way.

Annie's "Can you" was not a casual question.Li Mu took a large piece of ice, and suddenly thought of arguing with Liang Chuan over the ice.

Of course, it was just Liang Chuan's unilateral quarrel.

Now that I think about it, it's really funny.

Who would have thought that Li Mu would still perform this seemingly useless technique in front of the camera?

The cube-shaped ice bricks are frozen transparent, shining like huge rough diamonds.Ice carving is physical work and more technical work. "Sorry, it might be a bit noisy." Li Mu reminded Annie, "You have snacks at hand, you can eat some first."

Use a drill to drill to the approximate depth of the martini glass, and then use a dagger to chisel out the broken ice like waves.Li Mu used some brute force inside, and the arm under the short sleeve bulged slightly.The camera hesitates between Li Mu's face and his hands, and finally decides to focus on Li Mu's hands.

The pure ice without impurities melted slowly, but under Li Mu's ravages, a floating layer of water dripped down.He had already cut out the capacity of the cup, and then smiled at Annie, "You may have to stay away, I'm worried that the broken ice may splash you."

Anne was kind, and kept a little distance.

After finely crafted, it is drastic.Li Mu raised his knife, and a large amount of shards of ice splattered all of a sudden, his face was calm, as if submerged in a silent snowstorm.The prototype of the cup has loomed, but this is not a slim glass, it looks bulky.This should be held by a wrestler, not suitable for the petite woman in front of me.

Ten minutes have passed.

Annie didn't show any impatience on her face, and with her kind words, it was rare for her not to strike up a conversation with Li Mu at this moment.Li Mu used the knife, but the direction and strength of the knife had been slightly adjusted—he began to carve carefully, and the thin cup rim and slender cup foot appeared one by one under Li Mu's ten fingers wearing black gloves.

There is already a little water in the glass, and the ice cubes are melting slowly.The rough ice surface that was originally sharp and chiselled by the blade gradually began to soften—like Li Mu himself.

He is more like that piece of ice, because he is young, so pure, so there are always some sharp edges and corners.But now he's changed, and he's aware that he's starting to soften—not just outwardly, but inwardly.

His pride and stubbornness, stubbornness and face-saving, he has learned to make concessions in the face of growth.Occasional confusion and occasional panic are comforted and appeased.

Growth is accompanied by confusion and pain, but people who have grown up have peace of mind.

Just like Li Mu now.

He began to work on the final sculpting until it was almost perfect.His companion had already put the shaken martini in his hand, Li Mu raised his hand, swept the ice floe away, poured the pear-white martini into the glass, added olives for decoration, and pushed the glass to Annie.

The girl applauded in awe after enjoying such a wonderful ice sculpture performance. "This is the first time I've seen such a wonderful performance. You know, many bars don't make their own ice these days—even, bartenders haven't been able to carve ice for a long time."

"A bartender who can't carve ice is not a good artist." Li Mu concluded for her.

Later, this sentence became the most frequently used barrage in Annie's video.

"Excuse me, are your hands cold?" Annie asked him mischievously.

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I urgently need a warm baby right now."

——A lot of people want to send warm babies to this handsome bartender soon.

"This kid is really stupid." Liang Chuan rested but was not idle, "What kind of warm baby do you want, at this time, say 'your smile keeps me from getting cold', how nice it is!"

Yue Renge was surprised, "If you were to play... you plan to say that?"

Liang Chuan raised his eyebrows proudly, "Of course."

"...It's a good thing he didn't learn from you." Yue Renge rolled his eyes, "Otherwise, a good child would be spoiled."

"Hey, hey, please speak clearly." Liang Chuan had sharp ears, caught Yue Renge and asked repeatedly, "What do you mean being spoiled by me?"

Yue Renge laughed but didn't answer, Liang Chuan thought to himself again, "He doesn't need me to take him with him at all, you see how skilled he is in chatting with little girls." After a pause, he teased Yue Renge, "If you want to play and develop, you still have to have a heart What if a person is cultivated and runs away?"

Yue Renge's face remained unchanged, after a while, he smiled and said, "He won't."

"Oh, trust him so much." Liang Chuan said, "The power of love is really great."

"You really don't need to have a relationship?" Yue Renge said in a steady tone, "I have a friend who just broke up."

"Don't, don't look for me." Liang Chuan shook his head like a rattle, "I pursue singleness."

In fact, except that Wushan is not a cloud.

Yue Renge blocked Liang Chuan's mouth with these old topics. Although there was not much change on his face, he was like a mirror in his heart, because he knew that Liang Chuan was right.

Li Mu is becoming more and more outstanding, and also more and more eye-catching.

He is constantly improving.

This is of course a good thing.As the boss, Yue Renge will tell all employees that if one day you feel that you have learned enough here and want to go elsewhere, you are welcome to leave at any time.He said these words to Amy, Liang Chuan, the new intern, and Li Mu.

But damn it, Li Mu is different.

Yue Renge thinks that his heart is not that broad-minded yet.

If one day Li Mu doesn't work here, or even develops in this city—his hard work and talent prove that he won't stop here—then what will he do then?

"What's the matter, are you unhappy?" Liang Chuan said cheaply, leaning over to see Yue Renge's expression.

"Go." Yue Renge smiled and waved him away, "Is it annoying?"

Liang Chuan grinned and lay back on the sofa clutching his chest.

In the first 10 minutes of Dione's opening, Anne's team finally collected all the materials.Li Mu felt even more ashamed when he thought that the finished film only took five or six minutes, or at most 6 minutes, but required several times or even dozens of times the amount of material.

"I'm leaving, handsome guy." Annie waved at him before leaving, "You performed very well today. Xiao Wang, please leave a call for him; Li Mu, if you need to make up some shots later, my agent Will contact you."

"It's my master who taught me well." Li Mu didn't forget Liang Chuan, and incidentally said good things about him in front of his mentor's idol.

"Of course, you are all great." Annie smiled, "When the film is released, remember to support it."

Liang Chuan put his arms around Li Mu and took over the conversation, "Definitely!"

What is excitement?This is.

When Annie's group left and a group of people were busy preparing for the opening, Li Mu pressed both hands on the bar, pouring almost all his strength down, still trembling slightly.His face was hot and his heart was beating fast. Liang Chuan glanced at him and patted him, "Are you sick too?"

"I'm just excited."

"Ouch," Liang Chuan looked at Li Mu as if he didn't know him, "I can't tell, you're quite comfortable chatting with the little girl, and you still have the function of delaying nervousness?"

Li Mu knew that Liang Chuan sometimes spoke out loud, so he didn't feel offended. "Stay here after today's over." Liang Chuan patted him on the shoulder again.

"Why?" Li Mu asked.

"Aren't you happy to ask you to work overtime?" Liang Chuan said angrily, "Boy, if I wasn't feeling well today, how would you have a chance to show off? Don't put your tail up in the sky!"

Once Li Mu saw him lose his temper, he didn't touch his bad luck.Can't afford to provoke or hide?He just shut up.Someone just happened to ask Li Mu to help, so he took the opportunity to slip away.

No one quarreled with Liang Chuan, so Liang Chuan became inexplicably angry on his own.

After being angry for a while, Liang Chuan himself laughed, what did he do?Do you treat Li Mu like a kitten and get angry at him when you have nothing to do?

Yue Renge also talked about him, just talk about it if you have something to say, why bother?

Yes, why bother?Perhaps, he should also try to learn to be more peaceful.Liang Chuan thought, after all, he was not young anymore.
