Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 40 Flying
The bar was empty, and the bell at the corner of the door rang in vain.

Akiyoshi Fujie looked at the closed wooden door, his eyes went dark, as if he had lost all his strength.

"But I haven't said anything yet..."

"Mr. Fujie." Lin Ye's gentle voice came from the bar.

Fujie Akiyoshi turned around in despair and looked at Lin Ye at the bar.

"Remember, I said I would buy you a drink?"

Fujie Akiyoshi took difficult steps and when he reached the bar, his face was already covered with little pearls.

"I haven't told her the truth yet..." he muttered.

"Let me make you a drink first, and I'll talk to you about this later."

Fujie nodded mechanically.

Aragaki Xiafan walked to the bar counter and looked at Lin Ye's busy figure with a little dissatisfaction.

[Why is this guy so nice to this fat guy? He clearly deserves it. ]

Her inner voice reached Lin Ye's ears.

Lin Ye silently found gin, maraschino cherry wine, and violet wine from the wine cabinet and placed them on the bar.

Cut half a fresh lemon, squeeze out fresh lemon juice with a juicer, and cut the lemon peel into strips for later use.

Add ice cubes, 45 ml of gin, 15 ml of cherry wine, 15 ml of lemon juice and a spoonful of violet wine into a shaker.

After putting the lid on the cup, Lin Ye’s slender fingers covered the cup body, grabbed the shaker and began to shake it, making a rhythmic sound.

Lin Ye closed his eyes and felt the degree of fusion of the various materials in the cup with his fingertips.

He felt the ice melting, and some of the water mingled with the wine.

When the ice melted to a certain degree, all the materials were fully integrated, and a feeling of roundness and unity came from his fingertips, he suddenly opened his eyes and the movement of his hands stopped abruptly.

Open the lid and filter the light blue liquor into a chilled martini glass.

Finally, use the lemon peel left when cutting the lemon to smear a circle around the rim of the cup, then roll it into a small flower and stick it on the rim of the cup as decoration.

“Aviation, please.”

Lin Ye pushed the wine glass away from the bar and made a gesture of invitation.

"Flying?" Upon hearing the name, a hint of curiosity appeared on Fujie Akiyoshi's face.

"In 1903, the Wright brothers flew the world's first airplane, the Flyer, into the sky, fulfilling the ancient dream of mankind and marking the beginning of human spaceflight."

Lin Ye calmly narrated the history of this glass of wine.

"In 1917, the famous German bartender Hugo Ensslin created this cocktail to pay tribute to the Wright brothers. It was included in his book The Art of Mixology and has been sought after by many people."

Seeing that Fujie Akiyoshi was still in a daze, Lin Ye reminded him, "This is a short drink cocktail. If you don't drink it in time, the wine will warm up and the taste will disappear. Please drink it in time."

"Oh."

Fujie Akiyoshi came to his senses and picked up the wine glass carefully, afraid of spilling a drop.

When you take a sip of the wine, a delicate floral and fruity aroma rises in your mouth, mixed with the aroma of herbs, bringing the healing scent of spring.

"what."

With a sigh of contentment, Fujie Akiyoshi briefly forgot his sorrow.

"After Flight was created, it experienced two major blows and has disappeared from the public eye. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a forgotten wine." Lin Ye began to tell the story again.

"Forgotten wine?" Fujie Akiyoshi opened his eyes, "How could it be? It's such a delicious wine..."

Lin Ye explained: "In 1920, America introduced Prohibition, which caused the three-year-old cocktail to remain silent for a long time. It was not until more than ten years later, when Prohibition was repealed, that it reappeared on the bar menu. But in the 60s, violet wine, one of the ingredients, was discontinued, causing this cocktail to disappear from the bar again..."

"What's this glass?" Fujie Akiyoshi stared at the glass in his hand in surprise.

"Yes, although violet liquor has been discontinued, our store happens to stock this liquor." Lin Ye was quite surprised when he first discovered violet liqueur on the wine cabinet.

The owner of Polo Bar is definitely a serious drinker.

"Isn't this glass of wine very expensive?" Lin Ye smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I only added a small spoonful."

Only then did Fujie Akiyoshi breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Bartender, do you think Yoko's attitude towards me would change if she knew what happened?" Fujie asked confusedly.

When Aragaki Kaho next to her heard this question, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

[Is there any need to ask this? Of course it's impossible. Is this fat guy still daydreaming? ]

Lin Ye advised: "At this point, whether Miss Yoko knows the truth is meaningless. Your love is like this glass of 'Flight' and the discontinued violet wine, which has disappeared. Things that only exist in memory should be left in memory.

Even if you tell Miss Yoko about that, she won't fall in love with you again. If you continue to pester her, the beautiful memories will become fragmented. "

Fujie Akiyoshi opened his mouth wide. In fact, he had known this for a long time but just didn't want to admit it.

Yoko's refusal just now says it all.

Lin Ye added: "Ms. Yoko is an excellent idol. Excellent idols will bring strength and courage to life to their fans and spread beauty and hope.

"She must not want to make her fans sad. So I think she won't date anyone before she retires from the entertainment industry. If you can't forget her, try to support her like her fans do. Maybe in that way, you can get the strength to continue living from her."

"Become a fan of Yoko." Fujie Akiyoshi's pupils trembled violently, and he was obviously experiencing a drastic change of mind.

This was a path he had never envisioned, and he had previously viewed all Yoko fans as enemies.

But in the end, it was all just his wishful thinking.

He drank the rest of the wine in the glass in one gulp, feeling melancholy.

[Yoko is no longer the Yoko she once was. Now she is an idol loved by countless people. Even the detective uncle is her fan.]

[Her singing voice and cuteness are healing millions of fans, but I want to destroy this beauty. Am I too selfish? ]

Hearing this wavering voice, Lin Ye struck while the iron was hot and quoted the classic saying of Bodhidharma:

“Buddha said, to be without mind is to be sincere, to let go is to have.

"A heart without mind refers to a mind of delusion. To be without mind means to let go of attachment. Only by letting go of attachment to the past can we have happiness and joy in the present and the future. Mr. Fujie, please let it go!"

"Let go of your obsession with the past..." Fujie Akiyoshi murmured, shedding two tears of understanding.

Now is the time to deliver the final blow—no, the final word.

Lin Ye seized the opportunity and said his last words:
“Flying symbolizes freedom and dreams. If you still love Miss Yoko, become her wings and help her fly higher.”

boom!
A surge of emotions exploded in my brain.

tears,
Pull it out!

Fujie Akiyoshi covered his face, weeping bitterly, and a hoarse cry came out from between his fingers:

"Woo, Yoko, I want to be your fan!"

Aragaki Kaho opened her mouth wide and stared blankly at Lin Ye at the bar.

Appeared, Lin Yefo!
A huge Buddha statue with a face like Lin Ye, smiling and holding a flower, with golden light shining on its head, rose up in her mind. The dazzling Buddha light made it difficult for her to open her eyes.

Lin Ye noticed that Xinyuan covered her eyes and looked at her in surprise. The moment he saw the picture in her mind, he almost choked on his own saliva.

Hey, I'm not bald!
