Chapter 1: What Popped Out of the Cracks in the Rocks
Longdu is a prosperous modern city located on the coast of the East China Sea. For many years, it has stood tall on the land of China, overlooking how many changes in the world are, and clouds are rolling and unfolding.
It was a midsummer evening. The dragons washed away all the dew gradually became comfortable. The sunset dispelled the rolling world and sprinkled a light golden color on the skyscrapers of the festival.
People who are busy for money have begun another way of life, looking for all kinds of freshness and excitement in the colorful city.
It is a confusing and infatuated place, located on the tranquil and elegant Chunhu Lake. Its geographical location can be described as remote, but it is one of the most famous bars in the city.
If you don't look carefully, it will be difficult to distinguish it from the elegant European-style buildings on both sides. The four words "incest" are enough to make people fascinate. However, if you taste its unique cocktail, you will be able to stop being low-key and mysterious charm.
When the night just came, the bar was filled with people of all kinds. Many people even gave up the time to date their lover to taste a cocktail they liked.
Looking at the clear wine pot sprinkling between the bartender's fingers, greedily sucking the lazy tones in the air and the smell of wine that twitches the nerves, I was already intoxicated before the wine could enter my mouth.
A flash silver Audi Q7 slowly stopped at the bar door, stretched out a snow-white slender legs from the car, and red high heels landed on the ground in the most elegant posture. A gust of night wind maliciously lifted up the corner of her small narrow collar and large slit black waisted evening dress, blowing away her high-pinning hair, and her charming temperament instantly drifted, making many passers-by stop and smack her tongue.
She subconsciously tucked her skirt and stepped into the bar slowly. The waiter immediately greeted her with a smile on his face, leading her to the best position at the bar counter.
This location has been empty before, obviously reserved for this woman. Sitting here, the entire bar can be seen at a glance, and you can also enjoy the beautiful view of the spring lake reflecting the moon outside the window.
Even many regular customers who often come to the bar may not know that this beautiful woman is the owner of the bar, Dingxiang.
She sat there quietly, with a beautiful arc of large rise and fall that made people unable to stop. She stretched out her jade-like fingers and tapped slightly on the bar. Her other hand held her delicate chin and her rose-like lips slightly opened, and there was a mystery and charm that she wanted to speak but was ashamed to speak. A trace of sharpness that even a man had inadvertently flashed in her moist eyes.
In addition to being the owner of this bar, she is also the top taster in Longdu. It is said that she can taste the ingredients and ingredients of a hundred fancy cocktails with her eyes closed, and can also smell the brands and vintages of a hundred whiskeys. Therefore, it is often said that the tongue and nose of a lilac are more valuable than her bar.
Every time this time, she would come to her bar, taste a glass of wine, and put forward her suggestions for improvement. It is precisely because of her professional boss that the fancy cocktails prepared by her are unique and flawless.
"Boss, which one should I try today?" A waiter in a dress walked over politely and bowed slightly to his respected boss gracefully.
"A cup of virgin."
The waiter smiled slightly and snapped his fingers at a bartender behind the bartender.
Before the arrival of Lilac, the bartender stood humbly in the corner, smiling at everyone in the bar, but it would be difficult for anyone to drink a glass of wine he made.
Because he only mixes three glasses of wine a day.
In the bar, guests usually choose bartenders, but this bartender is just the opposite.
The bartender took out a transparent bartender and quickly started his first job today, and the most important job for him every day.
Soon, various wines were poured into the mixing pot in sequence, put into the filter, and cover the lid. The mixing pot was made of transparent crystal, so during the mixing process, the state of the wine inside could be clearly seen.
The skillful technique of flowing clouds and water, the confident and relaxed expression, and the wine that shines like a flame in his hands, made the people in the bar intoxicated and selfless.
The dark red wine poured into the exquisite Martini glass, and suddenly, the entire bar was filled with a scent of being ashamed to speak.
Some people couldn't help but exclaim: "It smells so good!"
But more people are addicted to the scent of fragrance and forget to applaud and amaze.
When everyone turned their respectful eyes to the bartender, he was more concerned about Lilac.
Dingxiang pinched the wine glass, squinted his eyes and quietly admired the slowly settled wine body. He first placed it at the nose and sniffed it slightly, then sucked it a little, letting the little wine slide freely in his mouth and tongue tip, and he showed his face slightly, and only said two words: "Very good."
The harsh wine taster said only two words, which made the proudest bartender ecstatic. For him, these two words were rewards that were more valuable than gold.
"This is not a virgin, I look like a black fungus." A voice sounded from the side, but it was not loud but it seemed extremely harsh.
Dingxiang frowned gently and looked at the sound. She saw a young man dressed in a torn and dirty dress sitting in front of the bar, crossing his legs and clenching his feet. Within five meters, people were pinching their noses and frowned and looking at him. Some even cursed: "Where the hell did this worker come from the broken migrant worker!"
The man turned his face and grabbed his messy hair, put his other hand into his clothes, rubbed the mud on his chest, and held the cigarettes in his mouth. The pair of dark eyes that were faintly visible behind the smoke were more disdainful.
He jumped out of the high chair, "I fucked out of the crack of the stone!"
The waiter wanted to scold him, but Dingxiang waved his hand. The waiter looked at his boss with a puzzled look.
No one has slandered the cocktails that are so stunning, and no one has mocked her wine because they are not worthy. But tonight, I heard enough of the complimentary lilac, and after suddenly hearing a sarcasm, I suddenly became interested in the man.
"Friend, do you mean that the wine is not good, or is my bartender and I not good enough?"
"Why...beauty, you are the woman with the most say. Do you look like a virgin by comparison? Also..." He picked up the wine glass with the hand that had picked up the foot, drank it in one sip with the red lips, smacked his tongue and frowned, "What's the point? It's not as good as a small roasted pot worth ten yuan per bottle."
This kid is here to drink!
A few people were ready to go, and just waited for the boss to say something, and threw out this miserable migrant worker who had nothing to do.
"So you must have drunk the best wine." Dingxiang asked with a faint smile.
"Boss, don't pay attention to him, this person is a lunatic!" The most infatuated bartender was ridiculed in person, and his elegance and calmness disappeared immediately.
Dingxiang seemed not to hear him and said calmly to the man: "This way, if you can make a cup of authentic virgin for me, I can give you a free order."
The man waved his hand quickly: "No! No!"
The bartender was proud, and he put a feather duster on his butt and pretended to be a big-tail wolf. Now he showed his strength.
"Why can't it?" Dingxiang's eyes flashed.
"What should I do if you drink my wine and fall in love with me? I'm afraid of trouble!" The words came out, and the bar was silent.
Oh my God, there are such shameless people in the world!
Dingxiang still maintained an elegant smile, but the charming spring eyes flashed with a gleam. She pointed to the empty wine glass on the table and said, "There is another option. If you eat this cup, you may not be able to get out of my bar tonight."
The man picked up the wine glass and frowned: "I'm afraid that eating it will cause indigestion."
"Then let's mix the bartender!"
"Do you really need to adjust?"
"must!"
The man sighed, "To be honest, I'm better flirting than bartending. Since that's the case, then that's fine, but I still have a small request."
"explain."
"If my wine really satisfy you, let me kiss you."
There was an uproar in the bar. This kid really wanted to eat swan meat. If he was really kissed by such a person, the beautiful bar owner would not be able to survive.
No one expected that after listening to the man's words, Dingxiang said two words lightly: "Yes."
The man nodded, and the joke suddenly disappeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Please get me a bottle of good whiskey."
Dingxiang winked at the bartender, and the bartender helplessly took a bottle for him and mocked him, "Is it enough to drink?"
The man curled the corners of his mouth, gently pinched open the bottle cap, and slowly poured out the wine inside.
He didn't drink it at all, but used this bottle of wine to wash his hands!
Seeing a bottle of emperor derwar's, known as the "water of life", cleansing his yellow mud and dirty hands, the hearts of many drinkers were broken.
He came to the back of the bartender, and the bartender moved away and said sarcastically: "Do you want me to introduce you to the wine here?" As he said, he pointed to the wine cabinet with hundreds of bottles of various wines placed behind the bar.
The man smiled faintly and said his request slowly: "15 ounces of gin wine, 1 teaspoon orange liquor, half a teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon red pomegranate syrup... Oh, by the way, let's have some mustard."
The bartender's face changed. He was a bartender or a cold dish. He had never heard of a virgin who had to add mustard to make it, and he had never heard of this recipe before.
"Give it to him." Dingxiang said a little unhappy.
The bartender had to do the same and said unwillingly to himself, "Let's see how you make a fool of yourself later."
The amber wine was poured into the bartender pot, and the man stretched out his hand, and a trace of solemnity appeared on his face. The man's washed hands were as white as fat, and his ten fingers were as slender as spring onions. If he had not seen them, no one would believe that this would be a pair of men's hands.
The wine pot was placed on the bar, and the man's dim eyes suddenly flashed, and suddenly it looked like two cold stars!
The wine pot seemed to have life, and suddenly jumped into his palm and then rotated like a top.
Dingxiang's body involuntarily stretched forward, and a strange flashed across the tip of her eyebrows.
