Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 24 Communication with Gin
"Gin Fizz." Gin was still so frugal with his words, his voice was short and powerful.

Vodka looked at Lin Ye strangely. Why did this kid look so strange? Then he said:
"me too."

Lin Ye looked at Vodka in surprise.

"Isn't this gentleman driving today?"

"We took a taxi here today. Wait, how did you know I was driving?" Vodka suddenly reacted, and two sharp glances shot out from under his dark sunglasses.

There is murderous intent!
Even through the thick sunglasses, Lin Ye could feel it.

Lin Ye was shocked, but his expression remained normal and he smiled:

"You didn't drink during your first two visits, but I can tell that you are a heavy drinker. If a heavy drinker enters a bar but doesn't drink, he's either taking medication or driving. The answer is obvious, isn't it?"

Vodka thought about it and it seemed to be true.

"You are quite smart."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir. Two glasses of Gin Fizz, please."

While Lin Ye was preparing the materials for Jin Fei Shi, he was eavesdropping on their thoughts.

Qin-[Vodka has been with me for so many years, but he is still so reckless. When will he improve? ]

Fu - [Today I can finally drink this guy's cocktail. I want to see what kind of taste can make big brother praise it so much that he comes here for three days in a row]

Lin Ye's mouth curled up slightly. Don't worry, Vodka will not let you down.

Gin Fizz is one of the classic cocktails based on gin. It is made by adding lemon juice, syrup and soda water to gin.

This drink tests the mastery of the proportions of ingredients and the bartender's shaking skills.

Adding ice cubes, gin, lemon juice and syrup into the shaker in turn, Lin Ye began to shake the silver shaker in his hand.

As his arm swung at high speed, the silver pot in his hand turned into a dazzling silver light. The ice cubes in the pot continuously hit the pot wall, making a rhythmic sound.

Gin looked at Lin Ye's hands, listened to the sound of ice cubes colliding near his ears, and gradually became fascinated, as if he was listening to a musician's performance.

The movements are so graceful, yet the impact is so powerful. What a wonderful sound, it's the perfect rocking harmony!
The sound suddenly stopped, and Lin Ye quickly put away the cocktail shaker, opened the lid, and filtered the wine into a Collins glass with ice cubes.

Top with soda water and garnish with lemon peel.

Two glasses of Gin Fizz, done.

Lin Ye gently pushed two glasses of wine in front of the two people with both hands, and said with a smile: "You two, please enjoy your golden fish."

Gin picked up the glass and took a sip.

Lin Ye's drinking skills surprised him again.

【Balance of sweet and sour, with the fresh fragrance of lemon and the herbal aroma of plants. The bubbles of soda water burst in the mouth, and multiple flavors blend into one, stimulating and sweet. A perfect cup of Gin Fizz! 】

Vodka also drank his share.

The eyes behind the sunglasses suddenly widened.

【What? It tastes good! 】

Tons tons tons.

Vodka drained the glass in one gulp and pushed it forward.

"Continued Cup!"

Lin Ye smiled slightly, looking at the man who was conquered by his drinking skills:
"OK, just a second."

After the second glass of Gin Fizz, Lin Ye became more and more pleasing to Vodka's eyes.

No wonder the eldest brother was fascinated by this kid’s wine, there really is something behind it!

Gin glanced at Vodka and shook his head slightly.

His way of drinking was much more elegant, he was enjoying the pleasure of this perfect glass of Gin Fizz while thinking about things.

[Heh, that stupid woman, Akemi Miyano, thought she could leave the organization by completing the mission? How naive. ]

Lin Ye's heart moved.

Woman, mission? Could it be the sister who came to the store before?
It turns out her name is Miyano Akemi. My sister really thought things were too simple. Criminal organizations won't talk about loyalty or trust.

[One billion yuan is not a small amount, haha]

One billion?

Lin Ye began to suspect that he was hallucinating again.

But then again, a billion yuan in retirement benefits isn't enough? This organization is really shady.

[Even if she succeeds in getting the money, she will still die. Once you join the organization, there is no turning back. Shirley, don't blame me for being cruel. Who let your stupid sister want to take you away from the organization? You are a big celebrity in the organization, haha.]

Shirley? Is that a code name for your younger sister?

Lin Ye remembered the young woman he met in the coffee shop during the day.

It seems that this younger sister has a much higher status in the organization than her older sister. Gin called her older sister a "stupid woman", while the younger sister has the code name "Sherry".

Sherry is a good thing. It is a fortified wine made from white grapes from a specific producing area in Spain. Lin Ye has a special liking for this wine.

I couldn't help but feel a little curious about the little sister code-named "Shirley".

What does she do in the organization?
The delicate image he saw in the coffee shop during the day appeared in Lin Ye’s mind.

He looks weak and lacks exercise, like a captive canary. He can't be a killer. He must be a technician who stays indoors for a long time, right?

Her sister was so determined to leave the organization, it seemed that neither of them worked for the organization voluntarily, but were forced to do so.

Should I remind Miss Mingmei next time she comes to the store? Lin Ye considered.

Judging from Gin's inner voice, this mysterious organization suspected to be a brewery wants to eliminate Miss Akemi because she wants to leave the organization with her sister.

But the sister code-named "Shirley" is obviously a relatively important member of the organization, and the organization is unlikely to let her go.

If only Miss Mingmei left the organization, then maybe it would be possible.

But asking her to give up her sister seems unlikely...

By the way, besides her sister, it seems that Miss Mingmei’s motivation for leaving the organization is also related to the man named “Dajun”.

Perhaps we can start from this point and let her choose between her lover and her sister.

With organized obstruction, it is unrealistic to want all of them, so who will she choose?
At this moment, a slightly cold voice interrupted Lin Ye's thoughts.

"What's the bartender's name?"

Lin Ye raised his head and found that Gin was staring at him with great interest.

It feels really bad to be stared at by a cold-faced killer, but fortunately Lin Ye is strong-willed enough and can bear it.

He responded calmly: "Lin Ye."

Gin was slightly surprised when he heard the name. "Mr. Lin is a foreigner?"

"Yes, Huaguo. I stayed here after I finished college."

Gin nodded. "As far as I know, China has a long history of brewing wine, including Fenjiu, Dukang, Xifeng, Baigan... But there are very few modern bars in China, and even fewer bartenders. Mr. Lin is so young, but he has such a superb bartending skill, which is really amazing."

Lin Ye smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sir. I have been interested in wine since I was a child. Later, when I came into contact with the art of bartending, I was deeply fascinated by it. One of the reasons why I chose to stay after graduation was to hone my bartending skills."

Lin Ye's words were not made up.

Although the original body only had about a month's worth of memory left, Lin Ye found his diary when he was tidying up the room, and thus learned some things that happened even longer ago.

"I see. Although China's wine culture has a long history and there are many drinkers, they seem to prefer drinking it neat and have a low acceptance of foreign wines and cocktails. It is indeed a wise move for Mr. Lin to stay," Gin agreed.

If Lin Ye chose to return to China and open a bar, he would most likely be alone behind the bar every day and would have no chance to show his talents.

Staying is indeed a better choice.

While drinking, Gin had an in-depth exchange with Lin Ye on wine culture around the world.

At this moment, Vodka, who was sitting next to Gin, was looking at his elder brother with surprise.

[Why did Big Brother suddenly become so talkative? He talked more to this kid than he did to me in the past three days combined. Did this kid put something weird in the wine?]
