Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 154 Metropolis and Shirley Pie

Snapped!
Boss Manaka slammed his wine glass on the bar, his face full of grief and anger.

"Why? Why on earth is this happening? The whole world is against me!"

"Parade! News? Gangs! Idols? Woohoo, my big hotel..."

Boss Manaka seemed to see the big hotel of his dreams grow wings and rise into the sky.

Today was a nightmare for him.

First, some people demonstrated in front of the art museum in the morning, which attracted reporters to interview them.

Then his office received another threatening letter, warning him that he would be killed if he demolished the art gallery.

Then at noon, the idol named Yoko Okino was on a TV show discussing the importance of art.

In the afternoon, all major newspapers and media began reporting that the Mihua Art Museum was going to be demolished, and even some of the dirty tricks he had used behind the scenes were dug up.

Given the current situation, if he still insists on converting the Rice Art Museum into a hotel, he will be burdened with unimaginable infamy.

The restaurant’s reputation will also be ruined and it will not be able to continue operating.

Even worse, he might be killed by an angry citizen.

This is not surprising in Beika Town.

He knew that he could not build his own hotel.

But he didn't understand what was going on and why the whole world was suddenly against him.

So he came to Polo Bar, and after a few drinks, he couldn't help but complain to Lin Ye, the bartender he originally wanted to poach.

Hearing the complaint from Boss Zhenzhong, Lin Ye smiled and said:
"Boss Zhenzhong, there is an old Chinese saying, 'A blessing in disguise'. I wonder if you have heard of it."

"...Ma, what blessing?"

Boss Manaka looked like he didn't understand, it seemed he had never heard it before.

Lin Ye told him the story of A Blessing in Disguise.

After hearing this, Boss Zhenzhong immediately understood that Lin Ye wanted to use this story to make him feel more positive.

Although I still feel very unbalanced, I feel better now.

"Alas, my dream since childhood is to open a big restaurant. I was finally about to succeed, but then I encountered this kind of thing." Boss Manaka took a sip of wine and his mental state became much more stable.

Lin Ye advised: "Mr. Zhenzhong, things are different now than before. In the past, everyone had money and people were willing to spend. It was good to open a restaurant at that time.

But in the current economic environment, it is more difficult to run a large hotel. Even the old-established big hotels like Sun Plaza Hotel are having a hard time. It is really difficult for a new hotel to survive in this environment. It is better to wait for the right time and make long-term plans. "

It was almost 97, and if the Asian financial crisis broke out, Japan would also be affected and the economic environment would further deteriorate.

Lin Ye felt that investing money to open a restaurant at this time was no different from throwing money around.

After hearing Lin Ye's words, Boss Zhenzhong sighed heavily.

"What you said makes sense, but I just can't accept it."

Lin Ye thought for a moment and said, "I'll make you another drink."

Boss Manaka sighed and nodded.

Add ice to a shaker and then add cranberry juice, lime juice, citrus-flavored vodka, and Cointreau.

Shake until chilled and strain into a chilled martini glass.

Finally, garnish the rim of the cup with a wedge of sour lemon.

"Cosmopolitan, please."

Boss Manaka picked up the wine glass, stared at the wine in the glass, and read the English name of the wine.

“Cosmopolitan.”

"Yes, besides metropolis, it also has another meaning, a traveler around the world."

"Traveling around the world, I once had such a plan." Boss Manaka sighed and raised his glass to take a sip of wine.

Lin Ye saw the subconscious bubbles coming out from above his head, which were pink, just like the wine he was drinking.

His consciousness tendril touched one of them and immediately immersed himself in it. What appeared before him was the renovated Shinaka Hotel.

There is Manaka's name printed on the entrance of the hotel, which looks very grand.

Boss Zhenzhong was standing at the door of the hotel with a rosy face. When he saw Lin Ye appear, he immediately came up to him with a smile.

"Young man, have you finally figured it out? That's right, come work for me, I won't treat you unfairly."

This is probably what Boss Manaka wants.

Lin Ye left this impossible fantasy, looked at the bubble of consciousness above Boss Manaka's head, and thought, if only he could convey to him the scene of his death.

At this moment, a black bubble emerged from above Boss Manaka's head.

The bubble shows the scene where Boss Manaka is nailed to the wall by the knight's sword.

Snapped.

Lin Ye seemed to hear a slight sound.

Black bubbles burst.

Boss Manaka suddenly woke up and shuddered.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Ye asked in surprise.

Manaka shook his head, "No, nothing."

Then he took a big gulp of wine.

[How could I possibly tell you that I saw myself being stabbed in the throat by a moving knight, and then cruelly nailed to the wall]

[Speaking of which, there seems to be a rumor about Ghost Rider circulating in the art museum recently...]

[This is terrible. We can’t keep this Rice Flower Art Museum! ]

[I'm going to leave Beika Town and use this money to travel around the world! ]

Manaka finished his drink, quickly paid the bill, and left in a hurry.

Lin Ye looked at his back as he left, and started to ponder.

That black bubble just now? Was it because of me?

If it is true, then we can use this method to influence other people's thoughts!

"Welcome, Miss Yami."

Seeing Miyano Akemi walking into the store, Lin Ye greeted her with a smile.

Miyano Akemi smiled slightly, walked to the bar and sat down in the vacant seat.

Although she was smiling, there was a hint of sadness between her brows.

Lin Ye's heart moved, and he asked:

"Ms. Yami, what would you like to drink today? Or a rye whiskey cocktail?"

Miyano Akemi shook her head and said, "I want to drink sherry today. Does Mr. Lin have any good recommendations?"

Shirley? It seems that Miss Mingmei wants to try the taste of her younger sister today.

Lin Ye smiled and said, “In that case, how about trying ‘Sherry Cobbler’? This was a very popular way to drink sherry in the 19th century.”

"Sherry Cobbler?" Miyano Akemi looked puzzled. "Sherry, cobbler?"

Lin Ye explained: "In addition to cobbler, Cobbler also means fruit pie. This style of wine requires the use of fruit, so I prefer to call it "Shirley Pie."

Miyano Akemi laughed, "Shirley Pie, that sounds so cute." She couldn't help but think of her sister.

Lin Ye thought to himself, Miss Shirley is indeed very cute.

Then he went on to introduce:
"Sherry pie uses wine, sugar, fruit and ice. These four elements have a mild and sweet taste and low alcohol content. It is a very popular way to drink sherry and has pioneered the Cobbler series of cocktails, including champagne pie, red wine pie, and whiskey pie."

Miyano Akemi nodded and said expectantly, "Okay, let's drink this."
