Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 34 Tracker

"Conan, Sonoko, the meal is ready."

Xiaolan pushed open the door of the bar and greeted the two people, one adult and one child, sitting at the bar.

"Mr. Lin Ye, I will come back another day to take care of your business." Yuanzi said goodbye to Lin Ye in a very ladylike manner.

After dinner, it was time for her to go home.

After all, she is still a high school girl. If she stays out in the bar too late, it would be a little troublesome if her family finds out.

Conan on the side twitched the corner of his mouth.

[Haha, Sonoko only pretends to be a lady in front of handsome guys]

He jumped off his chair, looked at Eiichi Yamagishi who was sitting at the bar, and then glanced at Akiyoshi Fujie who was sitting by the window.

His detective intuition told him that there must be a secret between the two.

However, what he is most concerned about now is the matter of the man in black. He plans to come back to the store to guard after dinner.

After the two of them left with Xiaolan, Yamagishi Eiichi, who was sitting in front of the bar, also stood up, took out a 5000 yuan bill from his arms, gently placed it on the bar, and pressed it down with his wine glass.

"Mr. Bartender, your wine is very delicious. It refreshes me. Thank you for the hospitality."

After saying that, he turned and left. When he opened the door, he glanced at Fujie Akiyoshi, snorted coldly, and then left the bar.

[Fujie Akiyoshi, I will never allow you to get close to Miss Yoko, let's wait and see! ]

Lin Ye looked at Fujie Akiyoshi who was sitting by the window. The latter was looking out the window with a look of resentment on his face.

[This damn bastard, the culprit who broke up Yoko and I, actually acted so high and mighty. I really want to kill him! ]

[No, if I do that, I will become a murderer, and my image in Yoko's heart will be completely ruined, and I will never see Yoko again.]

[I want to talk to Yoko and clear up the misunderstanding between us. ]

Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this man still had some rationality and was not completely crazy.

But judging from his inner thoughts, he didn't seem to have done anything to Yoko.

Who did those things that Mr. Yamagishi mentioned? Was there some misunderstanding?

Well, he should entrust Mr. Maori to investigate tomorrow, and then I can ask Uncle Maori.

"This customer is really generous." Aragaki Kaho said in surprise as she took a look at the banknotes under the cup.

"Hmph." A cold snort.

Aragaki Xiafan turned around and found that the fat man sitting at the table was staring at her with a bad expression, and she couldn't help but feel a chill on her back.

"Wow, what a scary look." Aragaki withdrew his gaze as if he had been electrocuted and never wanted to get close to the fat man again.

At this time, Lin Ye's voice came from the bar: "Xia Fan, send this to him."

Lin Ye pushed out a glass of water, a plain warm water.

When drinking whiskey straight, alcohol over 40 degrees will make your tongue and even nose numb. A glass of water can relieve the irritation, lower the alcohol concentration in the blood, and reduce the burden on the body.

In addition, it helps the aftertaste of whiskey spread in the mouth, allowing the drinker to better feel the aroma and flavor of the wine.

There is a special term for this kind of hangover water, called chaser. Lin Ye likes to call it a tracker.

In the world of wine, it has two completely opposite meanings.

In the UK, it refers to strong alcoholic beverages that are drunk lightly.

In the United States, however, it refers to light wine or beverages after drinking strong liquor directly, which can be plain water, ice water, carbonated water, fruit juice, or beer with a lower alcohol content.

Drunkards in Scottish bars use stout as a sobering drink for whiskey, and Mexicans also like to use beer as a pairing with tequila.

Different wines require different decanting waters.

For a strong, aromatic drink like whiskey, a glass of warm water is more appropriate.

If it is ice water, it will make your tongue cold and your sense of taste dull.

Therefore, it is better to use room temperature water or warm water.

"But his eyes are so fierce..." Aragaki Kaho really didn't want to get close to the fat man, so she hesitated.

"Please, I'll treat you to a drink after get off work." Lin Ye smiled.

When Xinyuan saw Lin Ye's gentle gaze, her face turned red and she couldn't say no.

With a light hum, he picked up the water cup, put it on the tray, and walked towards Fujie Akiyoshi. [This is my job, not because of his request. That's right, because of work! ]

Looking at Aragaki's charming back, Lin Ye smiled slightly.

My heart says no, but my body is honest.

The girl whose body and mind are out of place and whose words and deeds are inconsistent is really interesting.

When Aragaki Kaho placed the cup of water in front of Fujie Akiyoshi, the latter was visibly stunned and looked up at her in surprise.

Aragaki Kaho frowned, said nothing, turned and walked towards the bar.

Fujie Akiyoshi looked past her and saw the smiling bartender at the bar.

[Hmph, a fake smile, just for the tip. But don't worry, I will definitely give more tips than that guy.]

Lin Ye's smile froze. This guy was very alert.

But the more this happened, the more excited he became.

He likes difficult guests. Generally speaking, the more difficult the guest is, the stronger the emotions hidden in his heart.

Once the ice in their hearts melts, the moment their intense emotions are released is as beautiful as fireworks.

He loves to admire the fireworks of emotions.

Akiyoshi Fujie picked up the cup and took a sip of warm water. His tongue, which was numbed by alcohol, was moistened and gradually regained consciousness.

Holding the cup of water in his hand, he suddenly fell silent, staring blankly at the clean water in the cup.

A warm touch came from the palm of my hand.

Not ice cold, but warm water.

In the bars he had been to before, the hangover sobering drinks given to customers were all ice water or iced carbonated drinks. Although the coldness made people more sober, it always made people feel uncomfortable and their bodies felt cold.

But this cup of warm water made his tongue feel very comfortable. There was no chill running up his spine, and he even felt a little bit of warmth...

Under the stimulation of warm water, the lingering aroma of Royal Whiskey bloomed in his mouth, and his paralyzed taste buds all came alive, as if dancing.

It's just a glass of ordinary water, why does it make me feel so touched?
Maybe it’s because I haven’t been treated kindly for too long.

Since I graduated and started working, I have always been alone, without any real friends or people who care about me...

Fujie Akiyoshi wiped the wet corners of his eyes, put down his water glass, stood up from his chair and walked towards the bar.

Aragaki Kaho, who was leaning against the bar, was startled and looked at the fat man who was approaching in surprise.

What's wrong with this fat guy? He looked so ferocious just now, why is his eyes suddenly filled with tears?
Aragaki Kaho rubbed her eyes to make sure she was not seeing things.

What's going on?
Under her surprised gaze, Fujie Akiyoshi sat obediently at the bar, seeming to be in a very low mood.

Aragaki Kaho blinked and looked at the table where he had been sitting before.

There are two glasses on the small round wooden table with a very textured feel.

One is empty, the other is empty too.

He actually drank up all the water?
Looking at Fujie Akiyoshi's belly, Aragaki felt relieved again. Well, with this capacity, it's no problem.

At the bar, Lin Ye smiled and said, "Would the guests like to drink anything?"

"No, I want to watch TV."

Fujie Akiyoshi raised his head and looked at the TV hanging high up.

"No problem at all."

Lin Ye found the remote control and turned on the TV.

"I want to see Yoko." Fujie Akiyoshi said again, his tone like a willful child.

Lin Ye pressed the remote control twice again, and Yoko Okino appeared on the TV.

After knowing that Uncle Maori was a fan of Yoko Okino, he learned a little about the channels where Miss Yoko appeared, which came in handy at this time.

Looking at the beautiful figure on TV, the tenderness of the past came to his mind. Fujie Akiyoshi could no longer control himself and two lines of tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

"Uh, Yoko..."
