I stared at Lin Ke's computer for a while, it was some hand-drawn design drawings, if I guessed correctly, this should be Mo Qiu's hand-drawn draft, maybe when she didn't see real life clearly, she also carefully planned the ideal bar.

Seeing the atmosphere between the two of them calming down, I slipped out under the pretext of the bathroom.

As soon as I got out of the negotiation room, a person who claimed to be the manager greeted me, and then asked me to go to the café to rest and wait, accompanied by the aroma of coffee overflowing, I think this is really a good start, if Lin Ke and Mo Qiu's things can also be negotiated, it will be quite pleasant!

I took another sip of coffee, and then looked at the tall building opposite, I don't know how long I looked at it, and finally saw Lin Ke and Mo Qiu walking out of the negotiation room one after another.

I was a little nervous and expectant, so I immediately came to them and asked Lin Ke for the first time, "How are you talking?" ”

Lin Ke said with an excited expression, although he didn't speak, he couldn't hide his joy,

I looked at Mo Qiu, but she was very calm, and she didn't have any special emotions, and after nodding to the company leader, she walked outside the company.

Lin Ke lowered his voice and said to me, "She has promised to help me renovate the bar, and I still have a chance." ”

I am sincerely happy for Lin Ke, because this kind of relaxation is what he dreams of, as long as there is contact, there will still be a chance, although I know that Lin Ke may be injured again, but there are some painful cruxes that others can't solve. Many times, because time, mood, and characters can't collide with sparks, so many favorite things are close at hand, but they can't make the trip.

When Lin Ke and I walked outside the company, Mo Qiu got out of her car, and at this time she had already changed into a pair of sneakers and said, "Let's go!" Go find some bars for some reference, and in the end it will be noisy, decadent, emotional, ambiguous, and relaxed, up to you. ”

……

I started the car and thought about where to go in the neighborhood, in my mind's mind, the bar with its unique mood rolled up the joy and sorrow of the people in the night, disguised the outflow, the countless ripples, the bar is the continuation of the day, is the condensation of the night, every song and every glass of wine is branded with urban culture.

In the increasingly impetuous era and the relatively fixed rhythm of life, perhaps the blur of the bar can make our hearts more reined.

In order to find a bar that can be suitable for reference for a long time, we drove the entire streets and alleys of Xi'an, and saw some young bars and felt a little noisy, and some traditional ones were too old, and then Lin Ke called and asked a friend, and chose a bar called "yuppie"!

Pushing open the door, a strong wine culture came to the face, the whole atmosphere was very civilized and strong, full of people, and followed the waiter's arrangement into the second floor.

Slowly go up the wooden staircase, open the door in a remote corner, only to see a few dining tables lit with lamps by the window, very suitable for couples, the seat introduced to us is just a foreigner sitting, has not yet paid, very leisurely tasting wine, next to a few waiters, the whole feeling is very quiet.

It didn't take long for us to sit down in the middle of the window seat, a seat on Nanshan Road where we could see the gentle sunshine and the traffic, Lin Ke and Mo Qiu looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that I was a little redundant, in fact, I was really quite redundant.

……

After ordering the wine, we looked at the decoration of the store, the whole revealed the American style, the old tables and chairs, the classical lighting, the wall seems to be covered with a lot of old American movie posters, the whole atmosphere reveals a pleasant feeling, which is what I like, suitable for chatting with long-lost friends, tasting wine, reading, and understanding life......

Coincidentally, Lin Ke and Mo Qiu each ordered "Margaret", and I followed the crowd and also ordered a cup, in fact, I had never drunk it before.

In the corner, Lin Ke and Mo Qiu sat opposite each other, and I sat alone.

After a while, the "Margaret" I ordered came up, a milky white wine, the glass was stained with sugar on the rim, and a slice of lemon floated gently in the glass.

I was looking forward to a slightly illiterate way of holding the cup and took a sip, the indescribable stinging in my heart, Lin Ke and I looked at each other and smiled, knowing that I might be quite unaccustomed to drinking, regretting that I was not in a hurry, so I could only drink it.

Mo Qiu took a sip elegantly, which made me even more embarrassed, and in order to ease the atmosphere, she explained: "There is a poignant love story about the origin of this wine. Once the winner of the 1949 National Cocktail Competition, this cocktail was created by Jane Duresa of Los Angeles, and Margaret is the name of his late lover. In 1926, Jane Duresa and her lover were out hunting, and Margaret was killed by a stray bullet. Jane Duresa was so depressed that she named her award-winning work after her in memory of her lover. It is said that the salt required to make this sake was also said to be due to Margaret's penchant for salty food. ”

After Mo Qiu finished speaking, Lin Ke seemed to have a tacit understanding and introduced: "Margaret is a cocktail that I am good at making, mainly made of tequila and various orange wines, as well as fruit juices such as lime juice, and is generally drunk after a meal. Because agave is a strong liquor produced in the tropics, when you first enter it, you can feel the hotness of a spirit, but in an instant this heat is diluted by the gentleness of the lime, and the aftertaste has a faint orange flavor, which seems to be the love between Jane Duresa and Margaret, warm, and has a faint mourning......"

After Lin Ke finished speaking, he didn't say anything for a long time, and he opened his mouth to be this, which made me cry and laugh a little bit, so that I looked at him in a daze, and only after a while did I take out the cigarette case and shake it in front of Mo Qiu, and said, "Mo Qiu, are you still going to add?" ”

Mo Qiu actually nodded and said, "The base wine for Margarita is tequila, a Mexican specialty. Tequila is what we call aloe vera, and once only a local regional consumption drink in Mexico, the popularity of the "margarita" cocktail based on agave has turned tequila into a popular drink around the world. In addition to making cocktails and drinking with water, someone once told me that there is another very special way to drink tequila: first put salt on the back of your left hand, hold a small glass of pure tequila with your thumb and forefinger, then use your ring and middle fingers to hold a corner of lemon, squeeze the lemon juice with your fingers, lick the salt, and ......then drink the wine in one fell swoop."

"Is that person Lin Ke?"

Mo Qiu didn't speak, just picked up the wine glass, looking at something through the glass, I really didn't know that they could say so many things in a cocktail, and what was certain was that what Mo Qiu knew must have been given to her by Lin Ke, and she also wrote it down carefully.

At that time, they must have loved each other very much, but some love can't withstand the cruel real life after all, and I always have a feeling of being inexplicably sprinkled with dog food and kicked over the dog bowl......

Wine is always given to those who have stories and colors, and there are probably two types of people who come to the bar to taste wine: one is the person whose feelings are hurt, and the other is the person who celebrates happily, so what about me? What do I belong to?

said that it was drinking, Mo Qiu was basically not idle, and the manuscript drew more than a dozen pages, until the bar waiter reminded us that the afternoon session was about to end, and we were still chatting stupidly.

"Let's talk about it today, I made some creative ideas, go back and give you some renderings, and when you are satisfied, I will give you construction drawings!"

"Don't wait, you can draw the picture directly, the picture you come up with must be what I want."

"Boss Lin is too casual, in the past few years, maybe you and I have different ideas, as for our happy conversation today, it is completely out of etiquette between cooperation, don't think about it."

"Okay, I'll try not to complicate it."

Even if Lin Ke said this, Mo Qiu was still indifferent.

I pushed Lin Ke's arm: "Can you please stop being so obedient?" ”

Before the words fell, Mo Qiu looked at me with a deep face.

I didn't know why she was looking at me like that, so I lit a cigarette to cover it up.

Time passed in my daze, and Mo Qiu finally couldn't help it, and said, "If you plan to sit, sit for a while, I'll go first." ”

As soon as she left on her front foot, Lin Ke and I immediately got up and followed, and Lin Ke just wanted to sit with her for a while, after all, I don't know what excuse to use next time......

……

When I was about to leave the bar, it happened that the band was also packing up the instruments and preparing to finish, Mo Qiu suddenly stopped, Lin Ke seemed to realize something, took a deep breath, and then gave me a look, the two of them took steps at the same time, went on stage and negotiated with a few musicians for a while, and played the instrument, and under the guidance of Lin Ke's music, the sensual music made several dancing actresses next to him couldn't help but twist their graceful bodies, and gently shook with the lazy rhythm.

Lin Ke's playing skills are very high, the timbre of the instrument is also very good, a jazz and blues style song is perfectly interpreted, even I playing the guitar, I indulge in indescribable relaxation, until the end of the music, Lin Ke smiled and said: "Are you still familiar with this music?" ”

Mo Qiu regained his cold expression, combed his scattered hair, and said with a lonely smile: "Familiar." ”

Lin Ke looked at her and smiled, "At that time, you said I wasn't mature enough, right?" ”

"Immaturity is also a charm, so I want to thank you for letting me experience a youthful frivolity in my lifetime, and finally know what I really want."

"What exactly do you want?"

"A love that doesn't have your shadow at all."

After saying that, Mo Qiu didn't give Lin Ke a chance to argue, and just left, but the back of her departure made me feel so uncomfortable, not to mention Lin Ke, and what was even more uncomfortable was: I didn't know where the source of my discomfort was, I only felt that I agreed to be an abandoned person!
