Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 21 Tokyo Green Tea
In Lin Ye's eyes, Kusaka Omi is just a vain little sister.

Facing her teasing gaze, he felt nothing in his heart and even felt like laughing.

With a slight smile on his lips, he calmly introduced himself:

"Lin Ye, the bartender."

"Uncle's introduction is too simple." Rixia seemed not very satisfied with Lin Ye's brief self-introduction.

"What does Miss Kusaka want to know?" Lin Ye asked with a smile.

"For example, uncle's hobbies, maybe we have the same hobbies."

Seeing that her roommate was clearly trying to seduce a man, Aragaki Kaho, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but grit her teeth.

Why didn’t I realize that this guy is so coquettish? He actually came to the bar dressed so boldly.

She didn't know that Kusaka Omi followed her and after finding out that she entered the bar, she went back to change her clothes before coming, otherwise she would have entered the store long ago.

Kusaka Omi thought that when going to a bar, one should wear clothes that suit the bar style.

But after entering, she found that this was not the kind of bar that was so passionate that people wanted to take off their clothes, but a very quiet and comfortable bar.

"I like wine." Hearing Rixia's question, Lin Ye answered without hesitation.

"That's right. After all, uncle is a bartender. So besides wine, what else do you like?" Kusaka Omi asked again, looking very interested in Lin Ye.

"I also like to mix cocktails for guests. By the way, what would Miss Kusaka like to drink?" Lin Ye took back the initiative and asked with a smile.

[Wow, this man is not simple. Even this can't seduce him. He is not the perverted sex maniac that Xia Fan said.]

Hearing what Kusaka Omi was thinking, the smile on Lin Ye's face froze slightly. Xia Fan actually mentioned him in front of others, which was obviously not a good thing.

"I don't know much about wine, do you have any recommendations, uncle?" Rixia asked innocently, like a bar rookie who was at the mercy of others.

"Ms. Kusaka, have you ever drunk alcohol? How much can you drink?"

"No need to be so polite, uncle, just call me by my name, just like you call me Kaho." Kusaka Omi glanced at Aragaki Kaho and said with a smile.

[Xia Fan, you actually want to act noble in front of me. You clearly care about it, but you insist on pretending not to care. Let me show you how you really are.]

Sure enough, when she heard her words, the expression on Aragaki Kaho's face froze slightly.

Lin Ye took in the two people's appearances, his mind was as clear as a mirror, and he smiled slightly and said:

"Haha, well, how is Ms. Omi's drinking tolerance?"

"As for me, I can't really drink much." Kusaka Omi said after thinking for a while.

[Just kidding, I can drink a lot, but I'll just tease him a little bit]

Lin Ye sighed. Why are all these young girls like this? Can’t they be more honest?

He pretended not to know and recommended:
"How about a gin and tonic? I'll reduce the alcohol content appropriately."

Gin and Tonic, a simple combination of gin and tonic water.

Simple, so versatile.

Every bartender may make a different taste and different alcohol content.

It can be made into a strong liquor that can make girls fall down without knowing it, and it can also give first-time drinkers a wonderful experience of being slightly tipsy.

"No," Kusaka Omi rejected Lin Ye's proposal and said with a curved eye: "I want to drink Tokyo iced tea."

Lin Ye was secretly shocked. It seemed that this guy could drink quite well and he actually dared to order this glass.

Tokyo Iced Tea, a variation of the Long Island Iced Tea.

Long Island Iced Tea has a sweet taste that masks the smell of alcohol and can easily make people drink too much and get drunk, so it has the unseemly name of "virginity-losing wine."

As the daughter of Mrs. Nagashima, Tokyo Iced Tea is naturally not to be underestimated, and it also contains four major base liquors:

Gin, vodka, rum, tequila.

Beneath the seemingly sweet and harmless surface, there is a danger that can numb human nerves.

But it is this danger that creates its magical charm and makes people intoxicated.

After saying Tokyo Iced Tea, Kusaka Omi held her chin with both hands, ready to appreciate the surprised expression on Lin Ye's face. However, Lin Ye looked normal, with a calm smile on his lips, as if he knew she was pretending to be a novice.

"Tokyo Iced Tea? Please wait a moment."

While Lin Ye was busy at the bar, Aragaki Xiafan walked behind Kusaka Omi, put a pair of cold hands on her shoulders, leaned over and whispered in her ear:
"Omi, why did you come out dressed like this?"

"Haha, are you jealous?" Kusaka said with a smile, then lowered his head to look at his collar, "But his gaze is very polite. He doesn't even glance at people who deliberately reveal their flaws."

Aragaki Xiafan glanced at her chest and said angrily, "This is not a frivolous bar. Don't come here dressed like this. The uncles around are staring at you."

Kusaka Omi had already noticed the gazes of the uncles around her. Although the uncles pretended to be casual, a girl's body is very sensitive, especially to the gazes of men.

She puffed out her chest nonchalantly and said, "Look, the uncles have worked hard all day, it's not easy. It's a pity that I can't attract the uncle at the bar."

Lin Ye was pouring Mildano into the cocktail shaker and couldn't help laughing when he heard the conversation between the two.

What a strange girl.

Midori is a melon liqueur produced by the old winery Suntory. Just like its name Midori (green), it has a emerald green color and is the soul of Tokyo Iced Tea.

After pouring the required ingredients into the cocktail shaker in a specific order, closing the lid, Lin Ye began to shake the wine and ice in the shaker.

After shaking, strain the cold wine into a highball glass filled with ice cubes, top it up with a can of 7-Up, and stir gently with a bar spoon.

Finally, add a slice of fresh lemon for garnish.

A glass of green Tokyo iced tea is ready.

Judging from the color, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it Tokyo Green Tea.

Whether it is iced tea or green tea, although it is called tea, it does not contain any tea ingredients. It is a glass of wine called tea.

"Ms. Omi, your Tokyo iced tea." Lin Ye gently pushed the glass to the front of the bar.

"Thank you. Let me see how good you are."

Kusaka Omi giggled, licked her lips with her tongue, and gave Lin Ye a charming look as if she was attacking him secretly.

Unfortunately, Lin Ye had guarded against all of this and was not moved at all, maintaining the calmness and composure that a bartender should have.

Kusaka Omi wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The icy, sweet, sour and vibrant taste made her eyes light up and her frown instantly relaxed.

"It's so delicious! This is the best Tokyo iced tea I've ever tasted." Kusaka Omi gave her highest praise.

Putting down the wine glass, she stared at Lin Ye with shining eyes, as if she had discovered an incredible treasure.

Lin Ye was already accustomed to such looks and his expression was very calm.

Instead, it was Aragaki Kaho's voice that caused a ripple in his heart.

[This guy's bartending skills seem to have improved by leaps and bounds recently. Has he discovered any secret recipe for bartending?]

Hi, I accidentally forgot again.

I am no longer the famous "Healing Cup" in the industry, but an unknown bartender on the streets of Tokyo.

But it's not a big problem. With little Xia Fan's intelligence and imagination, there is no way she can discover her little secret.

Cocktail secrets? Haha, this isn't a martial arts novel, where does this come from?

Lin Ye laughed secretly in his heart.

Cocktail making relies on the accumulation of experience, plus a little imagination, a little creativity, and a passion for wine.

As long as you are wholeheartedly and sincerely devoted to the wine, the wine will respond to the bartender's expectations and present itself at its best.

It can be said that wine is the bartender’s best friend and will never betray him.

Lin Ye will never betray his partners. He will give his all and take every drink seriously. This is his bartending philosophy.

"Uncle, you are so good at making cocktails, why do you work in this small bar? With your skills, you should be able to work in more prestigious places, right?" Kusaka Omi asked curiously while drinking Tokyo iced tea.
