"What's a cocktail?"

"You see, you'll find out later."

When Wang Er mentioned wine, Liu Xiao thought of cocktails in his mind, if this can be done, then he can take his first step.

Liu Xiao's sales in her previous life, one of the most basic sales, to please customers, where to please customers? Of course, it is a variety of entertainment venues, what to drink on entertainment occasions? Of course, there are all kinds of sake!

In this world, except for rice wine, baijiu is wine, and there is no whiskey, vodka, gin, rum and the like.

All the liquor here is made of pure grain, and the highest degree is only more than 20 degrees, and the taste is relatively milder and smoother than the liquor in the previous life.

Liu Xiao picked up these kinds of wines, tasted them one by one, and finally chose Jiannan Roasted Spring and Fenjiu as the base wines, which have the purest taste.

Since there is only liquor, Liu Xiao plans to use baijiu as the base liquor to see if he can make a qualified cocktail.

The base liquor corresponding to liquor is vodka, and the number one product of vodka as a base liquor is Bloody Mary.

"Well, Wang Er still has to trouble you, a tomato, a pot of pure water, and a handful of coarse salt."

"Right now!" Wang Er was very fast, and he came back from the kitchen in less than half an hour and put his things on the cutting board.

Liu Xiao looked at the glass in his hand, although the craftsmanship was rough, it was already a good product for this society, and it was roughly estimated to have a capacity of about 200 ml.

Liu Xiao picked up Jiannan Shaochun and poured 50 ml into a glass, then poured 100 ml of pure water, then cut the tomato, and said that he pinched and screwed all the juice of a tomato into it.

He picked up the coarse salt and rubbed it around the mouth of the bottle, and a simple version of the Bloody Mary was complete.

Liu Xiao picked up the cup and tasted it, "Hiss!" "It's kind of like that, the salty and sweet taste of wine is very pleasant in the mouth.

"You taste?" Liu Xiao handed the cup to Wang Er.

Wang Er looked at this cup of blood-red liquid, and his heart was beating, "Brother Xiao, are you sure that tomatoes and wine can be mixed and drunk together?" ”

"You can just drink it and see it, it's not poisonous." Wang Er saw that Liu Xiao had tasted it and was okay until now, and his heart was stable, so he also tasted it.

"Shhh With a bang, Liu Xiao looked at Wang Er who was smacking his lips with a smile, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Er had never drunk such a peculiar taste of wine, so he took another sip without replying to Liu Xiao, and after a while, he drank half a glass.

Wang Er breathed a long sigh of relief, "Ah!! Brother Xiao really couldn't imagine that these three random things could have such a peculiar taste, it was unbelievable, this is a cocktail? ”

"Well, the cocktail is actually a general term, and the name of this drink is 'Bloody Mary.'"

Looking at the half cup of red liquid in his hand, Wang Er smiled, "It's really bloody!" Brother Xiao is amazing. Wang Er drank all the wine in his hand and gave Liu Xiao a thumbs up.

Wang Er is a smart person, and even if Liu Xiao doesn't say it now, he knows what this person wants to make money from.

But there is only one that will never work, Liu Xiao tried to add orange juice to the Bloody Mary, and sure enough, the taste was softer.

Liu Xiao and Wang Er worked for most of the day, and finally determined three varieties.

The first one, Bloody Mary, adds orange juice and ice cubes on the original basis, and the taste is extremely pleasant, but fortunately, this Red Moon House stores ice cubes in the cellar every year, and the taste is even richer.

The second, mojito, is based on Fenjiu, adding mint leaves, orange juice, ice cubes, and a little peppercorn powder, which is sweet and spicy to drink.

The third, Baiwei Immortal, is Liu Xiao's own creation, Jiannan Burning Spring Mixed Fen Wine, if orange juice, lychee juice, bayberry juice, ice cubes, mixed production, the juice of the three fruits is abnormally sweet and sour, with two kinds of mixed wine, the whole taste is colorful, sweet and fragrant with a strong wine flavor, and the degree is not low.

Looking at the final cocktail on the table, Liu Xiao and Wang Er both giggled happily.

"Wang Er, go and send it to Sister Hongyue, as long as Sister Hongyue thinks it's okay, then this thing can be done."

"Hmm!" Wang Er carried the cutting board and walked towards Sister Hongyue's wing.

It was noon, Sister Hongyue was still eating in the wing, and Wang Er came to Sister Hongyue's room with three cocktails.

The weather is hot, this door is open, Sister Hongyue watched Wang Er come with three cups of liquid of different colors, and wondered in her heart, "Wang Er, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

"Sister Hongyue, what I have in my hands is a good business, this is Brother Xiao, no, it's Ergouzi, I learned it from an old gentleman in the Western Regions, it's called a cocktail."

Wang Er walked as he spoke, and as soon as he finished speaking, the cutting board was already placed on Sister Hongyue's table.

Although Sister Hongyue is nearly 40 years old, she is dressed in green and red, with black hair, big eyes and high nose, and she looks like a beauty in red from a distance.

However, when you take a closer look, the rouge gouache on your face can't stop the fine lines left by the years.

"Business? Cocktail? Wang Er, what are you going to do? ”

Wang Er smiled, knowing that Sister Hongyue was impatient, and hurriedly explained: "Sister Hongyue, this thing is called a cocktail, it is a mixture of fruit and wine, Sister Hongyue, you can try it, this thing is sold in our Hongyue Building, it is definitely a big sale!" ”

"Oh?" Sister Hongyue was skeptical, but she expected that this Wang Erju would not mess around with something, so she told herself that it was a big business, so she picked up one of the cups and tasted it.

This Hongyue sister picked up the mojito, her red lips sipped lightly at the mouth of the cup, her brows furrowed, she took another sip, and then she frowned again and took a small sip.

After a while, he drank a third, and Wang Er looked at Sister Hongyue's mouth non-stop, knowing that this was done, her face was full of joy.

"Sister Hongyue, why don't you try the other two cups?"

"Good! Putting down the cup in his hand, he picked up the Bloody Mary and tasted it, and then it was the Hundred Flavors Fairy.

Sister Hongyue's whole face had already begun to flush, and she looked at Wang Er and asked, "Huh?" The second dog actually learned such a skill? ”

"Well, Ergouzi, I went out a few days ago and met an old beggar, I felt sorry for the beggar and invited the beggar to eat a few meals, the beggar never thought to be a strange person, and I taught Ergouzi this technique in gratitude, and also helped him name Liu Xiao."

These words are Liu Xiao's words to Wang Er, and he can't say that he has crossed over, so he can only act in the name of Liu Chu temporarily.

Sister Hongyue has been in the Qinglou for decades, experienced and experienced, and smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, "Hehe, I didn't expect these two dogs to have such opportunities, it's really a blessing and a curse." ”

Wang Er saw that Sister Hongyue was in a good mood, and continued: "Sister Hongyue, this Liu Xiao proposes, sell a cup for one or two silver, and then ......" Wang Er glanced at Sister Hongyue with slanted eyes, and the words on his lips paused without speaking.

How could Sister Hongyue not know Wang Er's thoughts, "Say, what benefits do you want?" ”

Wang Er was recognized by Sister Hongyue, his face was embarrassed, and he said: "This is what Liu Xiao meant, what he means is that he is responsible for bartending, every glass of wine throws away the cost, and the profit is three or seven points, he is three, Sister Hongyue is seven, and then new varieties will be launched regularly." ”

Sister Hongyue looked at the wine glass on the table with interest, picked up the fan in her hand and fanned herself, and said quietly: "This kid, there are new varieties?" Then let him come to me. ”

Wang Er knew that this matter had been completed, and he responded happily and ran in the direction of Liu Xiao's firewood house.
