Sad Chinese New Year's Eve (1)
Qiao Yan went to the door to pick up Lu Bin and brought him directly to Qiao Ran. "This is my sister." She introduced.
"Hello, Mr. Lu, my sister said you want to know me." Qiao Ran tilted his head and smiled at him.
"That ......" Lu Bin grabbed his hair, smiled embarrassedly, and stretched out his hand to Qiao Ran, "It's a pleasure to see you." ”
Qiao Ran shook his hand generously.
Lu Bin looked cramped and smirked blindly. That embarrassment made Qiao Yan laugh. She secretly looked at Lu Bin, he was already good-looking, and he was even more handsome in a suit. This young man is actually quite good, good looking, and well-behaved.
It's a pity that it's a policeman, or I can really match him and Qiao Ran.
After thinking about it, Qiao Yan saw Hai Haoyi coming over, he was wearing a black suit with dark patterns and a black bow tie, full of gentlemanly atmosphere. After greeting Qiao Yan and them, he walked straight to Mo Yuqing, who was sitting next to him, stood upright in front of her, bowed slightly and said, "Can I invite you to dance?" ”
Mo Yuqing gladly accepted, and the two slid onto the dance floor. Hai Haoyi gently supported Mo Yuqing's waist with his left hand, and gently supported her right palm with his right hand.
Qiao Ran's gaze was completely attracted by them. "Mr. Hai is too gentlemanly." She exclaimed, "Sister, last time you said he was pursuing your colleague, it was the beautiful woman who danced with him, they are really a good match." ”
"He's pursuing Mo Yuqing?" Lu Bin also looked curiously at the pair of beautiful people on the dance floor.
"This, you better ask Mo Yuqing yourself." Qiao Yan did not respond.
Lu Bin didn't ask, but said to Qiao Ran half-jokingly: "It's a pity that I can't dance, otherwise I will invite you and show your gentlemanly demeanor." ”
"I'm not very good at dancing." Qiao Ran smiled kindly, "My sister is a master of the dance forest, I don't know how Detective Wei Chi's dancing skills are." ”
Lu Bin also came to be interested. "Does Cold-Faced Detective dance?" He couldn't imagine what it would be like for such a cold person to dance.
"I don't know, I didn't ask him." Qiao Yan said faintly, she suddenly realized that she knew too little about Yu Chihong, he imprisoned his heart in the iceberg, and did not let anyone get close, even if she did, she could only melt the tip of the iceberg. Saddened, she turned and sat down. Qiao Ran chatted with Lu Bin very closely, and he didn't notice her abnormality.
Qiao Yan sat alone silently for a while, got up and walked to the bar, and the beautiful lady in a cheongsam asked her if she wanted a glass of angel kiss cocktail, angel kiss - angelkiss, drinking this wine is like kissing with an angel. Qiao Yan thought the name was very good, so she said to give it a try, and when she heard the young lady, she realized that there was a sad story behind the name: the angel broke his wings for the man he loved, but God punished the man and made him lose his eyes to express his love and hang in the distant stars. A man without eyes can no longer see his beloved angel, and an angel without wings can only hide his face and pray: We have no chance in this life, but I hope we can see each other in the next life.
The bartender was a tired young man, his eyelids drooping, and he didn't say a word the whole time. Qiao Yan noticed that he was left-handed and mainly left-handed. The beautiful lady went to receive other guests just now, Qiao Yan stood quietly, her mood was inexplicably heavy, and her mind was in a trance, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the Angel's Kiss cocktail was actually red, with a layer of white whipped cream floating on the top, and the cream was decorated with a red cherry, which was very cute.
The bartender took out the ice cubes of rose petals from the crystal ice bucket and put them into the martini glass in front of Qiao Yan. The most basic and elegant part of a cocktail party is the feeling of holding a few pieces of ice for the guests with an ice tong, which is a very refined living experience.
Qiao Yan stared at the red liquid in the cup, and the feeling of headache and suffocation came again. She turned her face away, trying to adjust her breathing, but her eyes were instantly fixed on the figure in the doorway. She suspected that she was dazzled, closed her eyes, and she was indeed not mistaken, it was Wei Chihong. He wore a sophisticated dark suit and tie, and he was dashing and imposing.
Wei Chihong didn't see Qiao Yan, he walked straight to the seating area and found a corner to sit down.
Qiao Yan was disappointed for a while, she thought that Yu Chihong was coming to her, but judging from his performance, it was more like he came to have fun alone.
"Miss", "Miss"...... The bartender called a few times before calling Qiao Yan back. She stared at the scarlet liquid, and a cold feeling of nausea welled up as she struggled to suppress the "red demon" that was about to explode in her heart. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable." She picked one up from the stack of napkins arranged in a spiral and covered her mouth to reassure herself.
The bartender glanced at Qiao Yan and stepped aside to serve the other guests.
Qiao Yan left the Angel's Kiss cocktail on the bar, and after taking a few steps, she heard the hostess solemnly introduce to the guests: "Next, we have invited our very good cocktail bartender, Mr. Gary, to perform the flame cocktail for everyone."
Gary is the bartender he said he had paid a lot of money to poach from somewhere else, and it was said that the cocktails he made tasted absolutely first-class.
Qiao Yan felt a little more comfortable, and curiously squeezed into the crowd to watch the bartending performance.
Gary is a blonde foreigner, fifty miles away, who speaks Chinese fluently. The host asked Gary to introduce to you what it takes to become a good cocktail bartender. Gary said he was 15 years old
There is no further study, and among the many industries, the bartender industry does not require any degree. But that doesn't mean that bartenders are a job that anyone can do. "First of all, you have to love the industry. Some people work to earn money, some people to pass the time, some people to pursue their dreams, and bartenders must love the industry, because only love can make delicious cocktails, and with a coping mentality or reluctant mechanical concoction, it must not be called delicious.
Many people think that a good bartender depends on the accumulation of techniques, skills, and professional knowledge, but in fact, I think the most important thing is how to communicate and interact with customers when bartending. Because only by having a clear understanding of the tastes, preferences, and even the mood of the guests when drinking can you create the desired taste of the guests, this is the only way to become a good bartender. ”
Gary gave a live performance on how to prepare and enjoy the "Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire", the English name "RainbowNight". Ingredients include spirits vodka, rum, and agave, as well as spearmint, blue orange, and coffee sweet. The cocktail in his hand dances up and down in front of and behind him like Gary's dance partner. The cocktails are poured out of top of each other, filled with a flame and lit with flames, making them as dazzling as fireworks in the dark night.
After the entire cup tower is on fire, the splashing flames pour into the large cocktail glass, dazzling and crazy. After a few seconds, he drenched the fire with blue orange juice, which poured into a large cocktail glass that was divided into three colors: brown, golden, and orange, for a total of nine colors from bottom to top.
The audience applauded Gary's wonderful performance. Qiao Yan casually looked behind Gary and saw Yu Chihong standing at the front of the crowd of onlookers, staring straight at her. In the dim light, his eyes were a little dark, and two small clusters of light flickered in the darkness under his eyes.
It turned out that he had noticed her a long time ago, but he didn't even come over to say hello, it seemed that he was determined to treat her as a stranger. She looked away bitterly, and saw that Zhong Kai was also in the crowd, not far from Yu Chihong, and Wan Xing was standing next to him, and the two seemed to be talking about something. Wasn't it unpleasant for these two to meet last time, how did they get together? But she didn't bother with this, Zhong Kai's appearance made her mood even more depressed, and she was heavy with anger in her heart.
"Do any of your guests want to come up and experience the 'Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire' for themselves? Drink three cups in a row to ensure that you have the feeling of the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire. Gary looked around and smiled as he extended the invitation.
Many guests were eager to try it, but this wine was extremely strong, and three glasses in a row were not a joke, and everyone was a little hesitant.
Qiao Yan suddenly felt that the "Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire" was very much in line with her current mood, her heart seemed to be burning, but her body was frozen and cold, these "Nine Heavens" were all disasters brought to her by Yu Chihong, and she couldn't get angry when she thought about it. In the midst of extreme fire and stimulation, she desperately needs an outlet for catharsis, especially, in front of him!
"I'll try!" She straightened her back and walked over to Gary.
Gary gave her a thumbs up, and everyone else applauded her courage.
Qiao Yan instantly became the focus of the audience. She picked up a glass of colorful "Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire". She took a sip, and it was a smooth fruity wine in her mouth, which was sweet and delicious, so she took another big sip and drank the whole glass of wine. The aroma of fennel, which is like a sexual fantasy, is thickened by the rising alcohol content, and the hot and cold reaction between ice and spirits begins to make dizziness hit.
She closed her eyes, took a breath, picked up the second glass of wine, and unconsciously glanced in the direction where Yu Chihong was, he was very close to her, the light had become bright, and the worried look on his face could be clearly seen. She was secretly a little proud, and she didn't care that the feeling of dizziness was getting stronger and stronger, and she raised her neck and poured the second cup of "Ice and Fire Nine Heavens" in one go.
She was hot and sweaty, and the scene and the crowd around her began to spin before her eyes, but a spirit of unyielding support and picked up the third glass of wine.
