Volume 2 Mahjong Chapter 64 Red and White Tenderness
"It's very simple, you can just mix a glass of wine for me in person, enter the store, there is a bar in the store." After saying that, I led Li Fansen to the bar.
After Li Fansen entered the horror bookstore, his face was frightened, his body that was shaking because of cowardice before trembled even more, and it was estimated that the wooden platform and red lanterns and other arrangements caused him an indescribable spiritual impact.
He couldn't understand why someone opened such a bookstore and was not afraid of frightening customers.
In fact, not only he didn't understand, but even I, the nominal bookstore owner, didn't understand how there could be such a terrible bookstore in the world.
That's right, although I was the 10th bookstore manager of the horror bookstore in terms of management rules, I was the bookstore owner in the eyes of others when the real owner was not born, which was a blessing in misfortune.
Although Li Fansen was very afraid of the bookstore in front of him, he was forced to make a living, so he had to obediently cross the bar and come to the antique wine cabinet.
This antique wine cabinet is blood-red all over, as if it is watered with blood, which scares Li Fansen a lot.
However, seeing the dazzling array of wine in the antique wine cabinet, Li Fansen forgot his fear for a while, and showed an ecstatic expression: "Boss, you have a lot of wine here, not only champagne, rum and other foreign famous wines, but also our Moutai wine from Nanqian." ”
Facing all kinds of wine in the wine cabinet, Li Fansen looked like a treasure, and seemed to know really about wine.
I was stunned, how could an eighteen-year-old boy who had not yet grown his hair know so much about wine?
It's not strange to know some famous wines, after all, the popularity of famous wines is very high, maybe he has seen it on TV, but for some unknown small family wines, Li Fansen also told the story, and he said it well.
"I don't think I've met a Bacchus, right? Eighteen-year-old Bacchus? It's ridiculous, times have changed. "But absurd is absurd, I feel more and more that Li Fansen is not simple, if he is really a poor teenager, how can he know so much about wine? This man must have some secret secrets.
But after endless hard thinking and meditation, I couldn't guess Li Fansen's secret, so I had to watch Li Fansen's bartending operation carefully: "Forget it, everyone has their secrets, maybe this is not an area I set foot in at will, as long as he is useful to me, I should trust him." ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, when Li Fansen picked up the shiny goblet, I felt that his temperament changed from cowardice to self-confidence in an instant.
It seems that the sloppy teenager in front of him is a qualified bartender by nature.
Looking at the goblet in front of him, Li Fansen shook off his lengthy bangs, revealing his preoccupied eyes.
It was a pair of delicate eyes, although it was a little tired inside, but there was a hint of confidence in the round eyes, which was the confidence of bartending.
He placed the goblet flat on the bar and then pulled out an unknown bottle of wine from the antique wine cabinet.
This bottle of Xiaojia's wine is a unique liquor in Xicheng, with a particularly high degree, and I usually don't even dare to stick to it.
"Take liquor as a base wine? It's too strong. "The base liquor used to make cocktails is mostly rum, whiskey and vodka and other Western liquors, and rarely uses Huaxia liquor, because Huaxia liquor is too domineering and difficult to neutralize with other liquors. We'll see. ”
Next, Li Fansen measured 30 milliliters of liquor in an ounce cup.
The so-called ounce glass, also known as the wine measuring glass, is a mini-bar with everything from ounce glasses to bartending tools such as shakers.
After measuring the liquor in an ounce cup, Li Fansen stopped his movements, looked at me and asked, "Is there ice here, I can't find it?" ”
"There's an ice machine there, and there should be ice cubes in the ice machine." I replied as I pointed to the inside of the milk tea counter.
There are several machines lying quietly, one of which is the ice machine used to make ice.
The bar counter and the milk tea counter are closely connected, that is, from the inside of the bar bar, you can go directly to the inside of the milk tea counter.
After picking up a piece or two of solid ice with an ice tong, Li Fansen returned to the mini bar and placed the ice cubes in the goblet glass.
After that, Li Fansen poured the amount of liquor in the ounce cup into the shake glass.
After doing all this, Li Fansen measured 10 milliliters of red wine, 10 milliliters of vodka and 15 milliliters of coconut water.
Of course, the above three auxiliary ingredients are also poured into the shaker glass.
Now that the auxiliary ingredients were ready, Li Fansen came to the ice machine again, took two Xiaoice pieces, and put them in the shaker glass.
At this moment, the small shaker glass contains not only white wine as the base wine, but also auxiliary ingredients such as ice cubes, red wine, vodka and coconut water.
With the sloppy Li Fansen, carefully covering the wine shaker, he pressed the head of the shaker with the thumb of his right hand, and the other fingers of his right hand held the shaker.
The little finger of his left hand chooses to hook the bottom of the shaker, and the other fingers of his left hand hold the shaker evenly like the other fingers of his right hand.
Confirming that the shaker was held secure, he shook his hands up and down, causing the sound of dice shaking in the horror bookstore.
In the interval between Li Fansen's shakes, I suddenly noticed his arms.
His arms were covered in strips of scars, which had not yet fully crusted over, and some blood oozed from them, leaving them bloodied.
"These scars are very similar to whiplashes, could it be that the young man in front of him has been beaten severely? Whose heart is so bad? "I gradually fell into deep thought.
I didn't think much for long, though, and after a few minutes, I was awakened by the fact that Li Fansen had stopped shaking his wine.
I followed my gaze to Li Fansen, who first poured the ice from the goblet before pouring the wine from the shaker into the goblet.
Add an oval lemon slice and a red and white straw to create a delicious cocktail.
"Boss, this is a cocktail specially made for you, the name is Red and White Tender." Li Fansen bent slightly with his right hand behind his back and made a gesture of inviting him to drink, like a modest European gentleman.
If he is not wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, but a well-mannered black suit, then he is really a European gentleman.
A good glass of red and white tenderness, both the whiteness of coconut water and the elegance of grape wine, the two are fused together, and there is a strong visual impact.
I picked up the bar and sniffed it, and the thick scent came to my nose and stirred up the excitement in my heart.
I took a sip of it, and the fragrant and delicious blend immediately smoothed my throat and gave me a warm and refreshing feeling.
"How do you get rid of the potency of the liquor? It's amazing, this glass of red and white tenderness retains the fragrance of baijiu, but it is not as strong as baijiu, which is very suitable for people like me who don't drink often. As soon as I put down my goblet, I couldn't help but ask.
"It's very simple, the white wine is pure and strong, the red wine is mellow, and the harmony of the two can neutralize the fierceness of some liquor, and as for the remaining strongness, use coconut water and other sweet fruity flavors to eliminate it." Seeing that my face was full of satisfaction, Li Fansen explained happily.
"You're so good, you're fully qualified to be a bartender in a big bar, do you really want to stay in my little shop? Buried talent. I sighed regretfully.
Li Fansen didn't understand the pity in his words, and exclaimed like a dance: "Boss, are you going to invite me?" ”
"Of course I have to ask you, you're a great bartender, I'm embarrassed to refuse you, can I go to work today?" I said straight to the point.
"But my clothes are so sloppy that they scare away a lot of customers." Li Fansen, who was not bartending, suddenly returned to his cowardly and inferior expression.
"What's this, no matter how sloppy you are, how many customers can be scared away by the bookstore itself, and besides, clothing is just a small problem, just clean it up." I didn't care, and continued: "I'll give you a thousand dollars in advance later, you go and clean up and buy some clean clothes." ”
Since we talked about wages, I casually asked, "What are your requirements for salary, and if you have anything, you can talk about it." ”
In fact, it was my first time recruiting employees, and I didn't know how much salary to pay, so I didn't write the salary on the job posting.
"A salary, a thousand a month? Or two thousand a month? Boss you decide for yourself, Komori really doesn't know how much to get paid. Li Fansen drooped his head, looking entangled, which showed that he really didn't understand the doorway of wages.
I then remembered that the boy in front of me was still a child, where did he understand the concept of money, and immediately replied: "One or two thousand a month is too little, so let's do it, I'll give you four thousand a month, remember to work hard." ”
"Then thank you boss, Komori must work hard." Li Fansen was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him, he originally thought that he could only receive a salary of 2,000, but now he has several times more salary out of thin air, why is he not happy?
In fact, the salary of 4,000 a month is not very high, but the teenager is not deeply involved in the world and is too surprised, but my money is not blown by the wind, and it cannot be wasted at will, after all, other positions in the bookstore still need to be recruited, and several salaries will need to be paid at that time.
Yes, after my parents evaporated, my company became my company, and I suddenly became the landlord of the snake building, owning a nine-story property out of thin air, it stands to reason that I am not short of money, even if I offer a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan.
But I pay attention to following the rules of the market, since the average salary of a clerk in Xicheng is 4,000, I should also follow this rule and give Li Fansen a salary of 4,000 at most, otherwise it will be too impetuous.
And it's the same sentence just now, my money is not blown by the wind, and the company's funds are the flesh and blood of my parents, how can I use it too much? As for the Snake Building property, only Gu Ya rents it alone, but how much money can she earn by collecting 200 yuan a month?
I thought about selling the floor above the Snake Tower, but the Snake Tower involved too many secrets, and I was afraid of causing big trouble.
And the horror bookstore is estimated to be able to expand, and if the other floors are sold without authorization, it may become a cocoon.
What's more, the female ghost in room 504 has not been solved yet, and I don't dare to sell other floors of the Snake Tower casually, if I sell other floors of the Snake Tower casually, isn't this harmful to others and myself?
I also thought about using the turnover of the bookstore to increase Li Fansen's salary, but the bookstore has just opened, and the turnover is still zero, and it is not enough to pay Li Fansen's basic salary, where is the money to increase Li Fansen's salary?
