impure

Chapter 92

Yue Renge pressed his fingers on Li Mu's chest, his fingertips were cold, like sharp knives touching his warm skin, and in the next second his skin would be ripped apart, and hot blood gushed out.

Hair fell on Li Mu's face, her beautiful eyebrows were raised, showing a slight murderous look.At first Li Mu only thought he was beautiful, but now for the first time he felt that Yue Renge was glamorous.Like a glazed thorn, beautiful and cold, piercing his body and blocking his blood.

"I'm going to find Zhao Shengyan." Li Mu said.

"Old Zhao?" Yue Renge was taken aback for a moment, "What are you going to do with him?"

"His cat is a little sick, so he was sent to the pet hospital. He was worried, so he asked me to take a look for him." Li Mu said, "So it took a while."

Zhao Shengyan raised a black cat, Yue Renge knew about it.Li Mu's expression was indifferent, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.

"If you don't believe me, ask him." Li Mu said.

Yue Renge hesitated for a moment, clenched his right hand into a fist, and lightly hammered Li Mu's chest twice, "This is not an example."

Xingshi's questioning stopped abruptly, Yue Renge originally wanted to deceive him, if Li Muzhen had any other secrets, he would be the first to not believe it.After the interrogation, I felt cold. I didn’t know where to throw the bath towel just now. Li Mu’s clothes were torn apart by him. ——

Li Mu took out a blanket and wrapped him around his head, "It's been cold recently, don't wash your hair so late. If you don't blow it dry, you'll catch a cold again."

He lowered his brows and eyes, and his tone was as gentle as an old lady's.Yue Renge was wrapped in a fluffy blanket, and immediately changed from a cheetah with its teeth and claws into a docile kitten.Trembling, Yue Renge leaned into Li Mu's arms, and Li Mu opened his arms to hug him, only to realize that the other party was so thin and weak.

"I'm really tired recently." Yue Renge said, "Let's take a good rest after we've been busy for a while."

Li Mu felt sorry for him, "Actually, you don't have to be so tired..."

"What are you talking about?" Yue Renge immediately refuted him, "It's actually nothing, it's just that I stopped for too long, and now I need a little time to recover. By the way, my mother called me."

"Oh?" Li Mu was a little surprised.

"The soup you cooked last time was made with clams and tofu. It's delicious." Yue Renge smiled with light lines on his nose. It should be better."

This is gossip, and since they returned to Huadu, it seems that they seldom talk about it.Li Mu raised his hand and patted Yue Renge's head, "I'll get you a hair dryer. It's better to dry it."

Zhao Shengyan had a Yuxi smoke in his mouth, didn't light it, just held it in his mouth, the slender smoke dangled around, and finally stopped.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I really...wanted to accompany him yesterday, so I couldn't come." Li Mu apologized first.

Zhao Shengyan lit the cigarette with a "snap", and the hazy smoke immediately enveloped the two of them.

"If you're not kidding me, then don't let this happen in the future." Zhao Shengyan said, "I know it's difficult for you, but since you made a choice, you have to be responsible for your choice."

This is a very heavy word.Li Mu said solemnly, "I was wrong."

"Okay," Zhao Shengyan choked out his cigarette, "how is he?"

"He's busy these days, so I'll go back to my own house." Li Mu said, "He's going on a business trip this weekend...the game is this Sunday, and I'll just be in time for the game after I send him to the airport."

"The busier you are, the more closely you will be watched." Zhao Shengyan, who has been here, smiled knowingly, "Okay, let's not set the time so rigidly, let's seize all available time and opportunities. You Get familiar with the bar first."

The design of the bar in Hualang is similar to that of Dionys, but it is slightly longer, enough to stand six to seven bartenders.Several commonly used wines have been neatly placed in front of Li Mu, and ice cubes, knives, and fruits have been prepared.

"You can adjust the position of the tool according to your own habits first." Zhao Shengyan clapped his hands, "Huawu's competition rules are very clear, except for the wine used in the competition, you have to bring everything else by yourself. I suggest you make a small list and check it again before the game. The location of things can be based on your own habits."

Li Mu nodded, and he stretched out his hand to caress the countertop.Wipe it clean, press the palm of your hand on the countertop, and you can feel what kind of mood it is to stand here and mix drinks.

"Speed ​​bartending," said Zhao Shengyan, "the first thing to do is to know the recipe well."

Of course Li Mu knew this.Some speed bartending will require the bartender to call out multiple drinks at the same time in a short period of time.At the beginning of entering the store, Li Mu was familiar with the recipes of common wines and cocktails. It was inevitable that he would encounter some unfamiliar wines at the beginning, but now, he is basically able to deal with the various needs of customers skillfully.

But the problem is, "simultaneously".

"My personal experience is to disassemble and reassemble." Zhao Shengyan said, "I believe that now I can name any cocktail at random, and you can make it quickly. The key is that if you make multiple cocktails at the same time, then Not purely additive."

He walked up to Li Mu and took a bottle of gin.

"It's also gin, you can mix it with tonic water, and you can add lime juice and syrup to make augers for G." Zhao Shengyan weighed the bottle and put it back, "For balance, vermouth; Supplements, bitters, olives, lemons. Memorizing each recipe is your job, and I won’t spend time testing you; what you have to do now is to link them together in another way.”

"This..." Li Mu was a little embarrassed, "How to do this..."

"There are so many things, I don't know where to start?" Zhao Shengyan smiled, "Simple, we can classify the formulas you are familiar with according to the type of base wine. One category is whiskey, one category is gin, and the other category is rum. Alcohol...and subdivide it according to the difference in balance and decoration. Do you understand?"

Li Mu took a bottle of whiskey casually, "Godfather."

After thinking about it again, "Highball."

"Whiskey Sour."

Those formulas that have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow emerged one by one, randomly arranged in front of Li Mu's eyes like phantoms.And he adjusted their order arbitrarily, and in the end they stuck together firmly like molecules.

Wine has never been isolated, just like people.They may have their own histories and origins, but at the root, they all come from the land, from a grape, a potato, a bunch of sorghum, and a handful of rice.Although they are presented in different ways, they all come from terroir and time.

Seeing that he understood so quickly, Zhao Shengyan felt that this temporary assault might have some hope.He nodded, "You can do these homework when you go back. What we have to do now is to practice."

"How to practice?"

"10 minutes, 8 cocktails." Zhao Shengyan smiled slyly, "Of course, you can't finish it. But I won't blame you, all you have to do is to think and practice. What I want to tell you is , Huawu's standard won't be that high, but it's not your goal."

Li Mu nodded.

Zhao Shengyan raised his hand and showed the test question in his hand, "Highball, WhiskeySour, Sidecar, Margarita, Penicillin, Sazerac, DryMartini, the last one, NegroniBianco."

When Li Mu came out from Hualang, it was already past lunch time.Where is Zhao Shengyan still the amiable mother Zhao?He was simply the leader of the Devil's Cult, who tortured him to death.Li Mu used his brain and hand speed to speed up the wine. Li Mu originally thought he was okay, but the first time he speeded up, he was in a hurry and almost threw the mixing spoon away.Zhao Shengyan didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, and laughed from the sidelines.

Li Mu blushed, Ren Cai deserved to be laughed at.After Zhao Shengyan finished laughing, he still didn't forget to give him some pointers, which actions were not crisp enough, and which steps could be adjusted. Li Mu nodded and wrote it down. The morning passed quickly.

"Let's go to eat." Zhao Shengyan patted him on the shoulder, "Continue to practice in the afternoon. If you are free, think about what you want to do with creative performance."

Li Mu was just about to say that he had a treat at noon, but the phone came over.Seeing that it was Yue Renge, both of them were surprised.

"Pick it up, pick it up quickly," Zhao Shengyan urged him, pulling the zipper with one hand, "I will not make a sound."

Li Mu answered the phone, "Where are you?" Yue Renge asked immediately, "Aren't you at home?"

"I... went out to buy something." Li Mu said, "You came to my house?"

"Well," Yue Renge said, "I just came over by the way after meeting a client. I saw that someone made claypot rice that was doing pretty well, so I packed two copies back. Don't you like eating this the most?"

"I, I'll be right back." Li Mu glanced at Zhao Shengyan, and Zhao's mother had a look on her face that I knew you were leaving, "Wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, my hanging heart was relieved a little.Zhao Shengyan smiled and said: "It seems that I won't be able to eat your meal for a while."

"He... he is indeed a bit clingy." Li Mu said, "Anyway, it will be good to get through this for a while."

Zhao Shengyan looked at him like that, and the more he looked at it, the more he found it funny, so he couldn't help but burst out laughing.Li Mu didn't understand, so he looked at Zhao Shengyan blankly, "What are you doing?"

"I said you, why are you acting like a cheating scumbag? My wife checked the gang and was flustered. At least he didn't make a video with you, or he would reveal his secrets." Zhao Shengyan laughed and teased him, "It's you, stupid, All day long, I just focus on this matter, without any other thoughts. He also has a big heart, and he is so reassuring about you. If someone else finds someone as good-looking as you, they don’t have to tie a rope to the waistband of his trousers all day long. .”

The call involved both of them.After hearing this, Li Mu defended Yue Renge, "He is very nice and never doubts me. In the final analysis, this time, I did something wrong. I have a secret in my heart, so I feel uncomfortable."

"Want to quit?" Zhao Shengyan lit a cigarette and took a puff.This smoke is really a bit strange, for some reason, it makes my eyes a little sour.

People in love are good, and they always talk about him and him.In Zhao Shengyan's life, he seldom regretted it.Today, I felt a little sad. If they had thought about each other so much back then, why would they have left so many regrets now?

"No." Li Mu smiled, "As you said, since you have made a choice, you must be responsible for your choice."

--------The author says------------

Cat Mom: Regarding speed bartending, I tried my best to find information, but it seems that there is no very detailed tutorial suitable for the competition, so on the basis of consulting relevant information, according to the requirements of the competition rules, I guessed it myself and worked hard. Went to write some.Inadequacies, welcome to correct me!

The memory of the recipe is definitely a must-knowledge point.For this piece of content, I refer to some information on the Internet, and memory according to the type of base wine is also inspired by the information on the Internet.Speed ​​bartending often calls out a variety of different drinks in a short period of time. When watching some live performance videos, I found that those bartenders do not arrange their work one by one when they are doing fast bartending, but break down their movements. The result of understanding and coordinating arrangements.Based on the results presented in the video and some rules of the competition, I presumptuously deduced possible training methods. It is very unprofessional. Just watch and have fun!
