Chapter 10 Because I like it

"Li Mu? Your name is Li Mu, right?" Li Mu turned his head, and the person who called him was a colleague who was working with him on trial.Dionysus didn't have a uniform, let alone a so-called breastplate, only a denim apron.Li Mu only vaguely remembered such a person. "Who are you……"

"Maomao. Mao Xiaojun." The other party smiled and announced his family name, showing a row of white teeth, "I heard from Amy that you have a high degree of education? Did you study abroad before?"

"...It's just been out for two years." Li Mu was a little embarrassed, "It doesn't matter if you have a high education."

In the bar industry, the threshold is not high, and many people have limited education.After studying an undergraduate degree, you are a high-level intellectual.What's more, Li Mu also messed with Upenn.

Mao Xiaojun clicked his tongue several times, "You speak like someone who reads a lot. It's not like me. After finishing junior high school, I came out to hang out. However, we are the same now, colleagues and colleagues."

Today is the third day of trial work, and Li Mu has already adapted to the working rhythm in Dionysia.He was busy helping the bartenders prepare the fruit for use.Maomao said again: "Hey, why do you come to this business?"

Li Mu picked off the leaves of the fruit and threw them into a plastic bag, and picked out the shriveled and rotten secondary fruits, while coping, "Because I like it. Would you like to be able to do this business?"

The wages are low, the work and rest are upside down, and even the rent may not be affordable.There are those who climb to the top of the pyramid, but they are rare among the people.

Maomao sneered, making Li Mu couldn't help but glance at him.Maomao immediately turned serious, "Yes, if it wasn't because I like it, I really wouldn't be able to continue working. When I first came out of the society, the first part-time shop I worked in was a bar. At that time, I was a waiter, cleaning, and doing all kinds of chores. .Do you know what the happiest thing is every day? Watching other people bartending, good guy, you can be as handsome as you want. Such as Moscow Mule, Whiskey Mizuki, London Mist... After a few years of mixing, I changed several stores, This is the best stay I've ever had. Well—" He suddenly sighed long, "but why do you say that the work we do is always in such a corner? We should sweep the floor and sweep the floor, should we? Cutting fruit. Cutting fruit. Doesn't teach a thing. I think we're just tricked into being coolies—"

The kitchen door was pushed open with a swipe, and Mao Mao trembled in fright. Li Mu looked up, and it was Liang Chuan.Liang Chuan was still the same, with a stern face. He didn't know how long he stayed behind the door, and he didn't know how much he listened to these words.He turned to Li Mu, "Is the fruit ready? Why are you dawdling?"

"It's been picked and cleaned." Li Mu hurriedly packed the fruit and handed it to him.Liang Chuan didn't pick it up, "Come to the front desk after packing up, and you're in charge of ordering today." At the end, he glanced at Mao Xiaojun who was cowering at the side, "Even if you're an intern, we still give you money. Now that you've got the money, you can Don't use your working hours to gossip."

The front desk and the back kitchen are two worlds.

For the first two days, Li Mu worked in the back kitchen, handling fruits, washing cups, and cleaning the battlefield after closing.Although the tasks are complicated, they are only dealing with items after all.The reception is different.

He opened the kitchen curtain, and the music suddenly rang several degrees.The guests are full, and the shakers in the hands of the bartenders are dazzling.The guests were drinking happily, and the waiters shuttled through it like butterflies, delivering all kinds of drinks. From time to time, someone asked for an additional order. The waiter who took the order saw Li Mu, patted him on the shoulder, and handed him the workbench.

that's it?

Li Mu was stunned.No one taught him how to operate this machine, but this is a workplace, not a school, so if he doesn't ask, his colleagues will naturally assume that he knows everything.A layer of sweat broke out on Li Mu's back. "I want a glass of G&T!" A customer placed an order.

G&T?

Li Mu was full of question marks.

"It's gin and tonic." Liang Chuan happened to be standing beside him, "You don't even know the most basic knowledge of drinks, do you?"

"...I'm sorry." Li Mu stared at the stand-alone page.In fact, it's not too difficult, it's a fool's operation, just poke it twice, "A glass of G&T!" Amy snapped her fingers, and the bar equipment began to hand over the base wine and ingredients she needed.

Li Mu silently remembered a new knowledge point in his heart.

"One glass of martini! One glass of rusty nails! Three glasses of Negroni!" Li Muyun pointed his fingers like flying, and quickly placed an order, and the bartenders prepared various drinks according to their work progress.It was like a fierce battle.

"A cup of Mint Julep." Li Mu pressed the confirmation button.The machine's pages are stuck.

He pokes twice more. "A martini!"

The machine is broken.

It was the busiest time of business, and the machine happened to be broken.Li Mu glanced at the orderly and busy bartenders, his heart almost skipped a beat.

"A Moscow Mule!" "A New York Sour!"

Li Mu wiped his sweaty palms on his apron, took out a pad from his pocket, found a chair, and climbed up.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, please be quiet, everyone." When Li Mu stood on the chair, his legs felt a little weak, but he had to shout out. This was the only way he could think of now.

"You brat!" Liang Chuan raised his head and frowned, "Why don't you work hard?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to inform everyone that our order machine is out of order and needs time to fix it." Li Mu tried his best to control his voice so that it didn't sound so trembling. There were forty or fifty pairs of eyes staring at it. No matter how courageous he is, he will feel a little guilty.

"In order not to affect everyone's experience tonight, we will place orders manually." He raised the pad in his hand, "It may be slower than placing orders by machine, but we will try our best to meet everyone's needs." He said Looking around, I found that there were many foreign guests, and repeated what I just said in English.

"I wish you all a wonderful night in Dionysia." Li Mu felt his legs were going to be weak, but he couldn't fall down.He is just an inconspicuous bar teller, but he must communicate the needs of customers in place.He cherishes his position, and he must stand his ground.

"Before the machine broke down, the customer ordered a Mint Julep, a Martini, a Moscow Mule, and a New York Sour." Li Mu's voice trembled slightly, probably because the room was a bit too stuffy, and his forehead was wet. There was a trace of sweat.

"How old is this stand-alone machine?" Liang Chuan muttered, taking a bottle of vodka, "I have to mention it to Mr. Yue when we have regular meetings later, we are also the eldest sons, don't live like the little mother raised us. "

The hustle and bustle dissipated, the smell of alcohol filled the air, Maomao mopped the floor twice with disinfectant, Li Mu tidied up the note papers used tonight, and started to debug the machine.

"Don't go yet." Maomao stood at the door with her bag on her back, "Going to eat supper?"

"I still have something to finish here." Li Mu smiled, "You go first. Let's eat together next time."

"No, you still want to do this?" Maomao was surprised, "Didn't it mean it was broken? Anyway, the boss has money, so you can replace it with a new one, and you still put so much effort."

"I just wanted to see if it would be better if it could be repaired." Li Mu stopped talking to him, Maomao felt bored, scratched his head, and left.

Li Mu has never touched a stand-alone machine, but he still knows the principle.Liang Chuan said that this machine had broken down several times before, and it was the same problem.Li Mu squatted down and looked at the wiring first, it was still new.

"Haven't you left so late?" Li Mu raised his head, first he saw a pair of shiny leather shoes, and then two long legs in straight trousers.Yue Renge shook the bag in his hand with a smile, "Supper."

"Yue...Mr. Yue." Li Mu hurriedly stood up, dizzy after squatting for a long time, he subconsciously helped the bar.

"Let's eat something first." Yue Renge put the food on the bar counter, "I've been working all night, I should be hungry."

"...I'm not hungry." Li Mu said.That's bullshit.After eating a bowl of beef noodles with no beef in the evening, coupled with a night of super-intensive mental work, Li Mu was already so hungry that his chest stuck to his back.

There was a rumbling sound in the stomach, and the surrounding was quiet, which was clearly heard by Yue Renge.He smiled slightly, and took out a sandwich from the bag, "It may be a little cold, you should eat it quickly."

To refuse would be hypocritical.Li Mu had no choice but to take it, found a low stool to sit on, and started eating honestly.

Yue Renge watched Li Mu finish eating a sandwich, and poured him another glass of water.

"Mr. Yue...you haven't returned so late?" Li Mu packed up the wrapping paper, wiped the mashed potatoes with black truffle on his lips, looking for something to say.

"Well, come and have a look." Yue Renge nodded.The opening of the new store is a lot of shit. He had just finished dealing with the odds and ends of Thyme, and he just took a breath when he received a call from Liang Chuan. Liang, who had been busy all day, told the story of how the stand-alone machine was scrapped at a critical moment today. He complained again.

The core purpose is to get some money out of Boss Yue's pocket to buy a new order machine.

"The order machine is scrapped, so what do you do?"

"That so-and-so is the one you insisted on opening the back door to recruit. He found a chair, went up and talked aloud, and changed the order." Liang Chuan said, "Although he looks like a little boy, he did a good job. Reliable. Hey, Mr. Yue, I think this kid is a bit like you back then."

Liang Chuan usually couldn't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, but this sentence inexplicably stepped on Yue Renge's refreshing point.After a long day of exhaustion, he could go home and rest, but Yue Renge decided to come over to take a look. Although he was not sure if he could see anyone, he turned around involuntarily.

"I know everything about today." Yue Renge cleared his throat, "You have done a good job. Although you may not have done enough in some areas, you really take this job to heart, which makes me feel that you did a good job at the beginning. I did nothing wrong when you called me over."

Li Mu looked up at Yue Renge, under the dim light, Yue Renge's eyes were shining brightly.His eyes are naturally beautiful, but Li Mu has never had a special feeling like this moment.

He saw hope in Yue Renge's eyes.
