Chapter Eighty-Six: The Ivy League

When Xiaoqiang came to the coffee house, Yinglong only said that he would make coffee and make cocktails, but he didn't expect that Xiaoqiang's craftsmanship became more and more exquisite, and there were often repeat customers who came to visit.

Xiaoqiang's original name was Wei Qiang, because of his name, Yinglong and Wenxue often called him "Xiaoqiang". In addition, Xiaoqiang originally likes to be flamboyant and has an extroverted personality, so Yinglong and Wenxue think

It's more appropriate to call him "Xiaoqiang".

Xiaoqiang is from a nearby township, in fact, his village is not far from Wen Xue's house, so it can be said that Wen Xue is also his hometown.

Wei Qiang used to work in a small bar, because the boss always thought he was not skilled, and he also thought the boss was picky, so he was introduced by a friend to Yinglong.

Yinglong usually doesn't like to put up the boss's shelf, doesn't like to point fingers, and can pay wages on time, and the salary given to Xiaoqiang is not small, so he is happy to work here in Yinglong.

Xiaoqiang was actually secretly unconvinced, the original boss was always critical of his craftsmanship, but after all, he had learned a few tricks from the master, so he was very unconvinced.

But the boss loves to clean him up, and Xiaoqiang has to keep a thought, whether he really can't do it, or the boss dislikes him.

Therefore, in the Yinglong store, he pondered the preparation method of cocktails whenever he had time, and slowly worked more and more refined, and the wine was full of color and aroma, and the aftertaste was long in his mouth.

As a result, the drinks he blended attracted many customers who came to spend their time here.

Yinglong found that Xiaoqiang's craftsmanship was becoming more and more exquisite, and there were more and more guests who came to visit. He understands that Xiaoqiang is a smart person, so although Yinglong admires Wenxue, he gives Xiaoqiang a salary

There is more water, and Xiaoqiang is also happy.

After all, Xiaoqiang has brought a lot of business to the store, and the credit is naturally not small.

Xiaoqiang knows this, Wen Xue is mainly entertaining guests, cashiers and other chores, although the salary is a little less, but Wen Xue also understands things, so there is nothing to complain about.

Xiaoqiang's "Apple Martini" and "Manhattan" are good spots, both of which are good varieties.

"Apple Martini" is an emerald apple green, which looks like a vibrant jade from a distance, and a strong apple fragrance up close. The moderate sweet and sour taste with vodka gives you a strong taste in your mouth.

"Manhattan" is poured into the cup, full of cherry red, and from a distance it looks like "pigeon's blood red" in the cup.

Although some liquor is added, it is full of sweetness, and there is a sense of affinity in the mouth. In addition, it is mixed with vermouth and whiskey as the base liquor, which has a unique bourbon flavor.

Under the illumination of the light, Xiaoqiang's "Manhattan" emits a faint red halo, like a glittering, crystal clear ruby.

These two wines are loved by many ladies. It can also be said that both men and women have a soft spot for Xiaoqiang's two unique skills.

Watching the bartending jar flutter and dance in Xiao Qiang's hand, dazzling like a vibrating bee wing, Yinglong was amazed.

He felt that Xiaoqiang was not so much a bartending as a performance.

There are some varieties of cocktails, and he doesn't understand how Xiao Qiang came up with them, and Xiao Qiang just told Yinglong that these were all taught by the previous master.

In fact, this unique flavor made by Xiaoqiang, Yinglong understands that he has put a lot of thought behind it.

Xiaoqiang also has a few good varieties, such as the ice-cream-flavored "Green Grasshopper" and the smooth "Alexander".

Both of these are everyone's favorite flavors.

Couples who often come to the café always like to order a cup of "Green Grasshopper" or "Alexander" for their girlfriends to make the dating atmosphere more emotional.

In addition, "Gin & Tonic Power", "Moscow Mule", "Coconut Grove Fragrance" and "Singapore Commander", Xiaoqiang has done well, and these are probably his unique skills in steel.

As for the copper mug used for the "Moscow Mule", Yinglong didn't find the kind that could satisfy Xiaoqiang.

Xiao Qiang said that he wanted to use the cup with the unique style of "fighting nation", but Yinglong never found it, so every time Xiao Qiang mixed the "Moscow Mule", it was a pity that there was no favorite thing to hold this unique cocktail.

In this way, Yinglong has no choice, he doesn't know what kind of cup Xiaoqiang needs to reflect the style of "fighting nation". In fact, whether it is good or not depends on your craftsmanship!

The cup is just a container, an ornament, and the wine is delicious, which is the last word.

Yinglong found that there were more and more repeat customers, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and it was inevitable to praise Xiaoqiang for having a hand!

But Yinglong is also a little lonely, although he is a boss, but he is not proficient in the technology of bartending, and the business depends on Xiaoqiang.

Therefore, Yinglong secretly instructed Wenxue to "steal teachers and learn arts", lest Xiaoqiang jump ship in the future and mess up his poor business.

To say that Wen Xue is also a smart person, Yiduo is not pressing. Therefore, when Wen Xue was chatting with Xiaoqiang, she half-jokingly inquired about the cocktail preparation method and secretly wrote it down.

When she was fine, she observed that Xiao emphasized making all kinds of drinks, and by the way, she started to do it. Xiaoqiang is not wary of this, and always teaches some skills generously.

Xiaoqiang already had a good impression of Wen Xue, so he didn't plan to be wary of her, and he was willing to teach her a few unique skills, and let her mix one or two varieties by herself, so that Wen Xue slowly learned to make cocktails.

Sometimes Xiaoqiang is sick or has something, Wenxue will mix wine herself. Although the taste is a little different from Xiaoqiang, the wine she mixes also has its own characteristics, and everyone likes it very much.

Many guests who came to relax were curious and took a sip, and secretly praised Wen Xue's craftsmanship for getting better and better.

Yinglong saw Wen Xue's progress and felt that she was very motivated, so he trusted Wen Xue more and more.

Yinglong felt that his small shop had these two guys to help support the façade, and his business was complete

Do not worry.

But those who do this business will either be their own boss in the future, or they will not be able to do it for long after all.

Needless to say, Wen Xue is going to marry in the future, and Xiaoqiang will retreat when he is older. At that time, Yinglong will either continue to hire another master, or he will be unable to continue.

Therefore, Yinglong also has its own concerns. He wondered what else he could do besides opening a coffee shop. In case business is bad in the future, you will have a way out.

Yinglong thinks that this is what most people are worried about. Doing business is not like working in a unit, you can get paid on time every month, and you don't have to worry about it at all. However, you must have a set of business experience to do this business, otherwise when there is no money to make, you can only drink the northwest wind.

Fortunately, the people invited by Yinglong were still on the right path and helped him a lot. This also shows that Yinglong was lucky and found the right person at the beginning.

And as soon as the business opened, it looked like it was on the road, otherwise Yinglong would be white-headed.

When it comes to doing business, Yinglong believes that it is not only necessary to have a unique vision, but also to have reliable people. There are only three people in his small shop, and although the number of people is too small, it is also reliable.

He knew that he couldn't treat them badly, after all, when he was working in Dahua Company, although it seemed that business was becoming more and more difficult on the surface, but in Yinglong's opinion, there was another reason, needless to say, deep things.

Yinglong knew that as long as Wenxue and Xiaoqiang did their best, he couldn't treat them badly. So Yinglong sometimes asks them what they think, discuss together what to do with the business, and what else needs to be done for them.

So Wenxue and Xiaoqiang also believe in Yinglong and feel that the boss is not a stingy person. The trio is small, but they are quite united. As the old saying goes: "One fence has three stakes". The "Iron Triangle" of Yun Zhiyao is so painstakingly running a small shop, hoping that it will be smooth and smooth in the future, and everything will be safe.

There is a rooftop on the upper floor of Yunzhiyao, surrounded by a circle of iron railings, and Yinglong found someone to paint a layer of paint during the decoration, but it still showed mottled traces after the sun and rain.

There is a white wall behind the roof, which looks bare and unsightly, despite some paint.

Yinglong specially asked people to install a colorful wind and rain canopy, usually guests can sit down to drink tea and chat, blow the wind and bask in the sun, or enjoy nature very comfortably.

There were several large flower pots left by the owner on the rooftop, and the flowers and plants in them had long since dried up and withered.

I don't know when Wen Xue has been paying attention to those flower pots, and she suggested to Yinglong to get some flowers and plants to plant there, so that the flower pots can be used, even if they raise a few potted plants casually, it looks comfortable.

Yinglong just thought it was Wen Xue casually talking, so he casually agreed, but he didn't bother to take care of it.

Later, Tianyinglong was sitting on the rooftop, and accidentally found that tender green vines had grown in the flower pot, so he curiously leaned over to watch.

I saw several large pots filled with swarthy potting soil, and the vines were growing a few slender branches in all directions, and they were covered with fresh green leaves.

Yinglong curiously observed the potted plants, and then Wenxue came up with a pot of water, and saw Yinglong squatting there to inspect the potted plants, so she introduced these flowers and plants with a smile.

"Brother Long, this is an ivy, I got it from someone else earlier, and now these have been planted. ”

With that, she scooped some water with a spoon and poured it into the pot.

"Wen Xue, it turned out that you made it, but the speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart. I just talked about it casually, but I didn't have time to do it, and I didn't expect you to really plant flowers. Yinglong straightened up and stared at the living ivies.

"After a while, the ivy will grow more and more, and then find a way to make them crawl all over the surrounding places! Wen Xue smiled and continued to water the pot.

"You're really smart, you can think of this way, if it's surrounded by ivy, this place will be much more beautiful!" Yinglong patted Wen Xue on the shoulder, obviously happy with the idea.

"yes, if the ivy crawls all over this wall and these railings, do you think it's unique?"

Wen Xue held the basin of water, and her face showed a shallow pear vortex.

Yinglong looked at Wen Xue carefully, he saw the dimples on Wen Xue's face, and his heart was touched, and he found that she was standing there smiling and smiling very cute.

Soon after, after Wenxue's careful care, the ivy grew more and more vigorously, gradually growing along the surrounding places that could be climbed, and overgrown the empty walls around it.

In order to allow the ivy to climb the empty wall smoothly, Yinglong and Wenxue thought of a way, nailed a few nails on the wall, and then pulled a few strings to the side of the flower pot, so that the ivy could be covered with the empty wall piece by piece according to their imagination.

In late autumn, the ivy has grown all over the place where it can be climbed, and the rooftop is a green scene, and you can see the spring color of the garden on the roof of the building from a distance.

The guests who sat there drinking tea felt a special interest when they looked at the ivy with lush leaves, and they often talked to Yinglong about this idea. Yinglong didn't know if Wen Xue intended to serve these plants, but he found that Wen Xue was so smart and clever that not everyone could come up with this idea, and not everyone was willing to serve these potted plants.

He was able to see Wen Xue's ice and snow intelligence, and the most impressive thing was the pair of cute dimples when she laughed, which almost made him unforgettable.
