impure

Dear brothers and sisters, relatives and friends:

With a sad heart, we would like to convey a very heavy news to everyone: Liang Chuan, the co-founder and manager of Dionysus, left us forever this morning due to terminal cancer and treatment that failed.

Liang Chuan is an outstanding bartender. He has won the Chivas Regal Masters for three consecutive years and is a leader among his peers. He joined Dionys ten years ago. The bar that has been shortlisted in the "Asia's 50 Best" list for six consecutive years.Yes, just last night, Dionysus topped the list of the best bars of the year, creating the history of Dionysus and the history of the bar industry in China.And Liang Chuan witnessed this glorious moment together with us.

Liang Chuan's life had no regrets, but was full of too many regrets.

Liang Chuan is a serious person.He strives for perfection in every detail of bartending, determined to provide customers with the best drinking experience.

Liang Chuan is a person who is willing to innovate.He integrates the ingenuity and wisdom of life into the innovation of drinks, so that customers can taste freshness, flavor and happiness.

Liang Chuan is a warm person.He brings knowledge, endeavor and harvest to his team; brings joy, smile and memory to his customers.

Liang Chuan's departure, for him, did not cause much pain; for us, it left too much reluctance and memories.Liang Chuan dedicated all his enthusiasm to the industry he loves and the people he has met.

The accompanying illustration is a photo left by Liang Chuan when he performed bartending for Annie yesterday.He wore a neat suit and looked dignified.His eyes fell on the wine glass in front of him.This is the most glorious and soulful moment for a bartender, and there is nothing better than this photo to define Liang Chuan's appearance.

If it was Liang Chuan himself, he should be satisfied too.

Li Mu also translated the above text into English—after all, Dionys still has a lot of foreign drinking friends.He checked it again for the administration, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and let it go.

Liang Chuan's departure made this already noisy bar even more lively.The release of the obituary, coupled with Annie's immediate forwarding, allowed more people to see the news.Some people came before the opening time, but they didn't come to drink.

"Li Mu," Amy called him, "a lot of people came to send flowers."

There were familiar faces and some unfamiliar ones. Li Mu recognized one or two of them as regular customers.They originally came to Dionys to relax and have fun, but unexpectedly, they shed tears for the first time in this happy place.

"Manager Wang." Li Mu recognized the acquaintance, "Don't cry, Brother Chuan will definitely be upset if he finds out."

Manager Wang was no longer wearing a suit, and his chin was piled up on the collar of his white T-shirt, sobbing, "I'm just sad! I just want to cry! How could he just leave like this! I still want to drink him What about the wine..."

Li Mu was speechless and could only silently pat the old man on the shoulder.

Another fan of Liang Chuan, pear blossoms and rain, cried and asked Li Mu if he could let her see Liang Chuan for the last time now.The answer was of course no, Li Mu told her gently that Liang Chuan's farewell ceremony would be held on Thursday, if she didn't mind the long journey, she could go.

All the people who came were Liang Chuan's acquaintances at work, and none of Liang Chuan's relatives.

What Yue Renge said was actually true.

But what if there are no relatives?A person would not feel lonely after death, not to mention, it was Liang Chuan who had long been used to loneliness.

After getting off work from Dionys in the middle of the night, Li Mu was still the last one to leave.He was already a bartender, but he still kept the habits he had developed when he first came to Dione.Together with the interns, he washed the cups one by one, dried them, and put them in the correct position.Another table was wiped clean, and the bar was tidy.Everything is in order, as if life has never been disrupted.

Li Mu stood by the bar, logically, he should leave.An hour has passed since the off-duty time, but Li Mu didn't feel tired.The bar is not very long, and Liang Chuan often likes to stand in the middle left.The shaker and stirring spoon are placed according to his habits, so that he can stand here at any time and mix a glass of wine he likes.

Liang Chuan mixed wine for others so many times, did he indulge once secretly for himself?

Li Mu's fingers slid gently along the bar.He imagined what would happen if Liang Chuan stood here.He looked at the whole bar with Liang Chuan's eyes, and he found a small cloud-shaped stain on the ceiling; he found that even the guests sitting in the corner could see clearly from here; he found that the moonlight tonight was so beautiful, quietly The ground filled the room.

Li Mu squatted down and found the bottle of wine that Liang Chuan treasured from under the bar.

Already drunk to the bottom.

He could almost see Liang Chuan's smirking face: I already knew you would come to steal the wine, and I've already finished it all!

This is Liang Chuan.Li Mu also laughed, feeling that his idea was very reasonable.

He also felt as if he owed Liang Chuan something - he had known him for so long, and at least he was also a mentor, yet he didn't even give him a bottle of wine.

Thinking of it this way, my heart felt a sense of loss again.

There was a "click" at the door, and Li Mu raised his head, and stood up while supporting the bar.In fact, there was no one there. He stared blankly at the door for a while, feeling somewhat resentful that this was just his auditory hallucination.

It's time to go home, Li Mu put the wine bottle back in its original place.

The bar street at night is the most powerful part of the heart of the whole city.Now the bars are closed one after another, and the neon lights are still on, like sleepy eyes that want to close.There is an artificial lake behind the bar street. Occasionally, drunken drinkers accidentally fall into the lake and cause accidents, so there are always people guarding it at night.In fact, Li Mu seldom goes there, he usually takes the main road.

There are fluorescent strips on the uniforms of the patrolling security guards, and only vague figures can be seen vaguely.

Li Mu walked casually, bypassing the lake.The summer wind softened and blew against his face.Li Mu's eyes became dry, like dry land.

He deviated from the lake, turned into a residential area, and walked into a narrow alley.A vague shadow vomited against the wall, and the sour smell escaped.Li Mu suddenly remembered that he also had memories here, that was the first time he met Yue Renge, and he beat someone for him.

Basten is driving near this alley.

Counting it, Dionys and Basten are not too far away, separated by the lake.It's just that he doesn't like to go around, and he doesn't like to come back.There are more psychological reasons.When he was younger, because of his personality and the way he handled things, he didn't have a very good time there-not to mention the reason for leaving in the end.

Now that the ice has long been released, Li Mu's mood has calmed down a lot.He walked around to Basten's front door, where the intern-looking young man was about to close.

"Sorry, it's closed." Thinking that Li Mu was a late-night drunk, "Come back tomorrow."

It's normal for him not to recognize Li Mu because he's a stranger.Li Mu smiled gently, "It's okay, I'm just here to take a look."

The young man found it strange, who would come to the bar after closing time in a sane way?He glanced at Li Mu, and tiptoed down the shutter door.Seeing that Li Mu hadn't left yet, he asked tentatively, "Are you... are you looking for someone?"

Li Mu shook his head, "No, I just came to see."

Maybe it was because I was in a better mood after work, and because it was too late and there was no place to go, the boy saw that Li Mu didn't look like a bad person, so he handed him a cigarette, "Smoking?"

Li Mu took it.

The two lit their cigarettes and leaned against the pillar at the door.The sky is full of stars above their heads, that is the light that was born tens of thousands of years ago, but now it pities the people of this world.

"Do you know the people who work here?" The boy was sure that Li Mu was here to remember the old days, "If you tell me, maybe I know you...but not necessarily, the changes here are quite big."

Li Mu was smoking a cigarette, looking at the other party with vain eyes.His face was obscured by the smoke, it was a very handsome face, and the simple boy was a little dumbfounded.

"A big change?" Li Mu asked.

"Ah, yes." He stammered, "In the past few months, the bartenders have left several times. Everyone can't stay. Our boss is a woman now, the very rich one, You know it. But she doesn't care about us, she has nothing, and everyone just does it blindly, and it will be boring after a long time."

Li Mu would not have understood these words at all if they were put in the past.But now he understands that there is no one who can manage, and no matter how many excellent people there are, it will be a mess.

"What about you?" Li Mu asked him with interest.

"Oh, I just want to learn. I think bartending is very interesting. It would be even better if I can be a bartender, like Liang Chuan." The boy began to look forward to the future, "But Liang Chuan passed away, you heard Are you there? I went to watch him make drinks before. He is so handsome, Liang Chuan is really an eternal god!"

"Yeah." Li Mu smiled, raised his hand, and sucked the cigarette between his fingers.

The boy said he was tired, waved his hand to say goodbye to Li Mu, and went to the nearby M Ji to make do for the night.Li Mu didn't go back, he sat down on the bench next to him.

The smoke has burned to the end and cannot be shortened any longer.The spark fell to the ground, persisted tenaciously for a few seconds, and then went out quickly.

Just like the past of a person, like the future of a person, it is gone in a flash, and it is short and unrecoverable.Sitting on the bench outside the bar, Li Mu suddenly felt that the night was a bit cold.The wind became calmer, less irritable, and even somewhat understanding.He rubbed his arms, and an indescribable feeling of sourness surged up.

It was unprecedented, profound loneliness.

Separation is a problem that everyone must face, and Li Mu is just one of thousands of ordinary people.All along, he has always moved forward desperately, because there are always new things waiting for him in the future.

But now, Li Mu has a attachment.He wanted to look back, grab something, hold something.The night wind was getting colder, and he curled up silently.He felt bitingly cold, and his heart was immersed in the ubiquitous cold night.

At this moment, Li Mu misses Yue Renge very much.
