277. The Godfather
"Hello everyone, your friend Xiaoyu is here again as promised. Do you miss me? ”
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the outdoor anchor Xiaoyu raised the selfie stick and opened his live broadcast room.
"Anchor, you are too lazy, you even postponed the live broadcast time because of the hot weather, and you have no fighting spirit at all!"
"Anchor, you're late again, deduct money!"
"See this big red rocket? It was meant to be given to you, but you were late, so it blew up. Boom! ”
"Congratulations to the anchor for losing a rocket, firecrackers! (o?v?)ノ”
"I know you upstairs, you're an old fan, yes, you're pretty diligent in sending barrages, but rockets? Do you have the strength to send rockets? ”
"I came to answer for him, and he didn't. He is the big brother who has always only sent fish balls! ”
“66666”
“6666”
……
Xiaoyu first let the barrage float for a while, and only after the fans finished laughing did she explain:
"Everyone, spare me, the weather in Kyoto is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and going out at noon is almost fatal, even if you don't get heat stroke, you have to sweat profusely, this level of hot sweating can't be stopped at all, and the makeup on your face is spent not long after you go out. It's good at this point in time, although you still have to sweat, but the waterproof makeup can still be fixed. ”
"Anchor, you actually put on makeup? Closed off the ......"
"+1 Clearance"
"+1 Clearance"
"Clearance +10086"
……
Although the fans in the live broadcast room are clamoring to take it off, Xiaoyu is no longer surprised. Makeup and beauty filters are already standard operations for female anchors, and Xiaoyu has never hidden this point.
And because you're shooting food and drinks, beauty filters can distort the results and make the colors weird. In order to ensure the effect of the food in the live video, Xiaoyu often turns off the filter. It's not once or twice that he appears without a beauty filter, and most of the audience is used to it.
Besides, although Xiaoyu is not as good as those big stars on the screen, he has the confidence to be an anchor, and the good-looking disciples are still good, at least after putting on makeup, he can be regarded as a beauty close to eight points. And that's one of her selling points.
As for the clearance that fans are clamoring for, it's basically a joke. If there are really so many people who take the pass, the people who can't be kept can't be retained, and no matter how hard they try, they can't become their own fans. She had already seen it.
"Okay, today Xiaoyu will take everyone to a real walk through the streets for a long time. Today's trip was not planned in detail, just looking at the map and choosing a neighborhood that we hadn't been to before. Will there be any surprises in this area? ”
Xiao Yu said as he held the selfie stick in his hand and spun around in place, showing the fans in the live broadcast room his current surroundings.
"Real street walking? Does the anchor mean that this time it's not just a meal? ”
"The anchor is such a money fan, if he has food, it must be just right. I guess there is really no food this time. ”
"Asking for Food"
"Asking for Food"
"Asking for Food"
"Xiaoyu: 'I finally became an anchor and has tens of thousands of fans. I still have to pull advertisements, I have to desperately cover up the rice, and I have to look at the faces of fans and merchants, haven't I become a kneeling begging for food? ’”
"Fans: 'Then you have to say that, coming to DY as a streamer is really kneeling and begging for food. That's it, how much is it not good-looking, I want to kneel, and I haven't done this! ’”
"Xiaoyu: 'Let me ask you, why don't I go for a serious job?' I just can't kneel down because my legs and feet are not good! ’”
"Fans: 'So you're trying to earn money standing there. Let's go back to the mountains. ’”
"Xiaoyu: 'I don't understand this, I already have tens of thousands of fans, why am I not as good as an unemployed vagrant?' ”
"Fans: 'In our eyes, you can still be considered a streamer. But in the eyes of merchants and DY platforms, you are kneeling and begging for food. Make money, business, not chilling. ’”
"Little Fish: 'Cold! It's shabby! ’”
"Fans: 'Do you want to stand or do you want to make money?' ”
"Xiaoyu: 'I want to stand and earn money!' ”
"The fan (shakes his head, is straight): 'Can't earn it!' ”
"Little Fish: 'Can't you earn it?' ”
"Fans: 'Can't earn it.'" ”
Xiaoyu: (Throws a gun out of his cuff with four big words written on it - Cha Fan Advertisement.) Slapped on the table and rolled up his sleeves): 'Can this make money?' ’”
"Fans: 'You can earn it, lose some face and reputation.'" ”
"Xiaoyu (shot with a rewarded airplane rocket): 'Can this make money?' ”
"Fans: 'Earn it, serve the audience.'" ”
"Xiaoyu: 'This plus this, can you earn money standing still?' ”
"Fans: 'Dare to ask Big Brother where is sacred?' ”
"Xiao Yu: 'Contemptible, DY outdoor anchor Cha Fan Crazy Demon Little Fish!' ”
Looking at the self-congratulatory laughter of the barrage audience, Xiaoyu couldn't cry or laugh. I had to forcibly pull back to the topic.
"Don't be funny, I really plan to have a random encounter today, this is a pedestrian street near Qianhai East Di'anmen Street, which is estimated to be 500 meters long. Let's go around the streets with you today and see if you can find a store that catches your eye! ”
Xiaoyu held a selfie stick and walked into the pedestrian street.
There are many businesses on the left and right of the pedestrian street, and Xiaoyu is talking about the decoration products of the major merchants while walking:
"This bubble tea shop is like a few bubble tea shops just now, it's 9012, why are there so many new bubble tea shops opening? And in terms of taste and variety, there is no advantage at all compared to other bubble tea shops. Is it possible to make money in this way? ”
Someone also started a discussion in the barrage:
"Many people follow the trend to open bubble tea shops, but the franchised bubble tea shops have not been inspected in detail, and now many so-called chain bubble tea shops are actually cheating franchise fees."
"The bubble tea shop looks beautiful, but no matter the location, the raw materials, decoration, new beverage varieties and store products are all very important. Only a handful of people can really make money. ”
"The two big brothers upstairs seem to have suffered a lot, can you tell the story of the two?"
"What? Got something to listen to? Melon seeds are sold in the front row! ”
……
Xiao Yu continued to move forward while chatting and farting with the audience in the live broadcast room, and suddenly, she heard a faint but clear harmonica sound.
"I miss it so much, this seems to be the castle in the sky, an episode that I listened to several times when I watched the animated movie "Spirited Away" by Hayao Miyazaki when I was a child. Which store owner is so emotional? ”
Xiao Yu followed the direction of the harmonica and found a shop on the side of the street not far away.
Outside the open door, I took a look at the decoration of the store, which has been completely renovated in a retro wooden and metal style, with a display board at the door and a few lines written on the door - serving the world's three largest non-alcoholic beverages (coffee, tea, hot cocoa), as well as selling alcoholic beverages.
Judging from the almost brand new state of the signboard and display boards, it should have not been long since the store opened. From the half-open gate, the voice of the city in the sky was heard clearly.
"Have a small shop? The shopkeeper has a random name. Is what is written on the display board real? It's good that a coffee shop can do one of these things well. There are four more? ”
Xiaoyu said to himself, but the gimmick of the store in front of him is still very sufficient, and the outdoor live broadcast has to be something to watch, contrast, gimmick, and something new that can arouse the curiosity of the audience.
Walking into the store, a few sporadic customers were sitting in their seats and doing their own thing, while a girl with long hair played a harmonica in a nearby position in the store. It is the melody of the castle in the sky.
"Someone was playing a musical instrument, and I thought it was music from the owner."
"Playing live, Bige suddenly got a lot taller."
"Huh? Xiaoyu, look at the guy at the bar, is it the one you failed to talk to at the hot pot restaurant a few months ago? ”
"Really! Like! I was on the scene a few months ago, although I changed my clothes, but it should be him, Xiaoyu, look at the bar brother! ”
"What happened? But since everyone is brushing, then I'll brush it too. Little fish watch the bar guy! ”
After looking at the structure of the store, Xiaoyu was about to say something to the audience in the live broadcast room, but found that the barrage in the live broadcast room was all the same, "Xiaoyu, look at the bar brother!" ”
"What do you say? Bar guy? Is there anything special? ”
Raising his head, Xiao Yu saw a familiar face.
Although it can only be regarded as a one-sided relationship, but because the other party left a deep impression on himself, although the memory of his face was a little blurry, when he saw the other party's face appear in front of him, Xiao Yu suddenly recalled this person.
"What a coincidence, handsome guy, I can see you here."
Li Xiang, who was holding a few coffee beans and carefully examining them, raised his head and saw a young woman who looked about six or seven points, holding a selfie stick, and the headset of white in-ear headphones was taped to her mouth, looking at her. Listening to what she said, the woman seemed to know herself. But no matter how Li Xiang recalled, he couldn't remember where he had seen this person.
In the end, Li Xiang still asked tentatively:
"Excuse me, who are you?"
The barrage in Xiaoyu's live broadcast room suddenly turned into a sea of joy.
"Congratulations to the anchor for sticking his hot face to the cold ass again."
"The handsome guy completes the double kill."
"I didn't expect to be able to see such a perfect realistic interpretation of the idiom of self-inflicted amorous in my lifetime. Small Fish NB. ”
"It's such a sad scene, why am I laughing?"
"Little brother: Who are you? Where are you? What are you doing? ”
……
The atmosphere was a little awkward, but since Xiaoyu can be the anchor, such a scene is not once or twice, and she has already practiced a cheeky face, so she explained without any hesitation:
"Handsome guy, you may not remember, I am Xiaoyu, the anchor of the live broadcast on the DY platform, we met in a hot pot restaurant a few months ago, and we chatted a few words."
kept searching in the corners of his brain, and finally Li Xiang finally remembered this matter,
"Eh, that's really a coincidence, and it's still live?"
"Yes, you see this is the audience in our live broadcast room."
Xiao Yu took the phone from the selfie stick and turned the phone screen to Li Xiang.
As Xiao Yu said, there are a lot of barrages flying from left to right on the screen. According to the rule that the barrage on the live broadcast platform is far less than the number of viewers under normal circumstances, the number of fans of the female anchor in front of her seems to be quite large.
"Hello, then...... Miss Fish, huh? You're ......."
"That's right, the content of my live broadcast room is to take everyone around Kyoto to find good things to eat and play, and today I was wandering the streets, looking for attractive and unique shops, and then I was attracted by the harmonica sound in your store. You're the ...... of this shop Forehead...... Barista? ”
Looking at the coffee beans in Li Xiang's hand, Xiao Yu made a reckless guess.
Li Xiang looked down at the coffee beans in his hand and smiled.
"I'm the owner of this shop, and I also work as a barista and bartender." Li Xiang casually glanced at the mobile phone screen in Xiao Yu's hand, and the barrage on it was still popping up. His heart moved slightly: "Miss Xiaoyu, since we are so fateful, then I will invite you to have a drink, right?" Which one do you prefer, coffee, pure tea, flower and fruit tea, or cocktail? ”
"Huh? Are you sure? Then thank you to the owner, I drank a lot of coffee and tea, then a cocktail, to suit the type of girls and. ”
"The alcohol content is low, okay, I understand, Miss Xiaoyu, you wait a minute."
Li Xiang turned around, took out a few bottles of wine from the wine cabinet behind him, and took out a bar spoon, a classical glass, and a stainless steel three-pronged ice pick from the cabinet under the bar.
Taking out a square of old ice about 10 centimeters in length, width and height from the refrigerator under the bar, putting on a glove, Li Xiang picked up a stainless steel ice pick and chiseled the ice puck.
"Wow, hand-chiseled pucks? It's the first time I've seen it. ”
"It's too earthy upstairs, isn't it? It's just a hand-chiseled hockey puck, and a social person like me is ...... It's the first time I've seen you too. ”
"Little brother's movements look very skilled, and his skills should be good."
The fans in the barrage were still chatting, and in order to make the content of the live broadcast richer, Xiaoyu asked:
"Handsome guy, why do you want to chisel the ice hockey puck?"
"Huh? Ice hockey, you say? The more elegant way of saying is that the ice hockey is a sphere, the surface area is relatively small, and it can last longer. ”
"So that's what it's for, shouldn't there be some very professional and high-end reasons?"
"It's hard to bartend, it's not difficult, customers enter the bar to order wine, but it's not just wine, sitting at the bar and enjoying the bartender's performance is also one of the reasons, some guests enter the bar to relieve pressure, let him watch me chisel a hockey puck, and after the puck enters the classical cup, you can also enjoy the crystal clear texture of the ice hockey in the liquid, which is quite decompressing."
Three times five divided by two, Li Xiang has cleanly chiseled the ice hockey, the ice hockey was put into the classical cup by him, with a special filter and clean ice water to rinse the surface of the ice puck and filter off the ice water, to complete the ice washing.
And although there are special machines on the market now, you can customize any shape of ice, heart-shaped diamond-shaped oval and choose at will. But the machine costs money, and in a small bar like ours, of course, it can be replaced by manual labor. ”
"Hahahaha, the bartender brother is real."
"It's so invincible to save money."
"Only I think the bartender brother looks very chic and handsome?"
"No, you're not alone, and I feel the same way."
……
Lee wanted to open the whiskey and almond liqueur and pour it into a classical glass in a two-to-one ratio. After a slight swirling of the bar spoon, the orange peel of a strip of orange is cut and heated with the flame of a small hand-held blowtorch to roast it to create an aroma and enhance the flavor of the cocktail.
After everything was finished, Li Xiang pushed the wine glass in front of Xiao Yu:
"Cocktail Godfather, please use it slowly."
Xiao Yu wondered:
"Godfather? I seem to have heard the name of this cocktail, don't you say that it is a cocktail that men drink? ”
"Hahaha, although the alcohol content of whiskey and almond liqueur is not low, the taste of Godfather wine is relatively soft, and 'what is suitable for men should be as strong as liquor' is actually a stereotypical prejudice, especially in the case of Godfather."
Li Xiang picked up the bottle of almond liqueur, pointed to the bottle and said to Xiaoyu:
"The reason why The Godfather Cocktail gave the name of the Godfather is actually because The Godfather is a very masculine gangster boss character in gangster movies. And this character comes from Italy. This almond liqueur comes from Italy, which is why the cocktail made with it has the name of the godfather. ”
"One-third of the Godfather wine is made with almond liqueur, which is already a large proportion. And the taste of almond wine is actually very sweet. So in terms of flavor, this is actually a relatively soft taste that is suitable for girls to drink, and it is not as tough and manly as its name Godfather. ”
"The little brother is really professional."
"What should I do, I'm so handsome and so stylish, I'm going to be a fan of this bartender brother."
"Please don't add drama to yourself, this is the live broadcast room that belongs to the macho man."
……
Xiao Yu nodded, and suddenly realized:
"I see."
She picked up her glass and took a sip.
"Sure enough, as you said, this wine tastes a little sweet. But I think it's still a little strong. ”
"This is also unavoidable, after all, whisky needs to be distilled at the end of the processing process, and the alcohol content is generally around 40%, and the alcohol content of the liqueur is not less than 17%. However, I only added a total of 60 ml of wine to this glass, and it was okay to drink a small amount of spirits once in a while. ”
