Chapter 417 Bartending Begins

After entering the bar, Yi Yun separated from Wei Shan.

Yi Yun didn't know anyone when he came here, and he didn't intend to have any interaction with these people, so he hid in a dark corner and waited quietly for the start of the bartending competition. Thinking about how to cooperate with Teacher Wei Shan to avenge him tonight.

He thought he could stay quietly for half an hour, but he didn't expect to be recognized by several girls not long after he sat down.

It turned out that the two or three girls who attended the reception here had been to the zero bar for drinks, and they recognized Yi Yun as the "handsome" bartender at the zero bar.So, they brought a few friends over to strike up a conversation with Yi Yun.

"Jiu Shuai, you must be the champion tonight! Our sisters all support you." A girl with red hair and avant-garde clothes approached Yi Yun and said softly, looking at her beautiful eyes with a look of hunger. Mang, just like Big Big Wolf saw the beaming, wishing to go and eat him right away.

Yi Yun could only politely nod and thank him.

Another short-haired girl pushed Yi Yun's arm with her huge "weapon", and said angrily, "Jiu Shuai, after tonight's reception, can you have supper with us? .”

"That's right! Eat supper together, and go for a drive in the wild together. I guarantee you will have a wonderful memory tonight."

"Oh, don't be so teasing about Jiu Shuai, okay? Look at him blushing, so cute."

……

The pungent and bitter taste ignited a raging fire of revenge in Wei Shan's body and mind.

He said to himself, "May'er, I'll let that bastard be buried with you tonight."

In the highest office of the Emperor's Hand bar, a handsome middle-aged man about 37 years old is sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a glass of scarlet cocktail in his right hand, and looking at the big screen on the wall .The screen was the scene of all the activities in the bar hall, and almost every move of everyone at the scene fell into the eyes of the middle-aged man.

He raised his glass, took a sip very elegantly, then closed his eyes and sighed softly, "Year after year, the years have passed, and the face has grown old, and another year has passed without knowing it, although the annual festival is held every year Bartending competitions, but you can't relive the friendship years."

He drank the red wine in the glass, sighed heavily, and then threw the clear wine glass away.

"Pa..." The wine glass fell to the ground and immediately fell apart.

……

Half an hour passed quickly, and the hall became silent again. The sexy hostess came up again and talked nonsense for a while before finally announcing the start of the bartending competition.

There are more than 100 bartenders here, which is more than double that of last year. Of course, not every bartender will perform on stage.At least you have to have absolute confidence in your fancy bartending before you dare to step onto the bar in the middle of the stage.

Due to the large number of people and the limited number, in order to test the level of some poor bartenders, the bar adopted a very fast screening method at the beginning.

On the stage, ten tables are set up, each table has a waiter on the side, and ten bartenders go up each time, and let each of them play three-bottle catching and tossing movements, and those who can last for 3 minutes without letting go are OK Stay for the next round of real bartending.

Such screening would eliminate at least one-third of bartenders from making it to the second round.

Don't underestimate these three bottle throwing movements. Although this is an action that any fancy bartender must learn, how many bartenders can persist within 3 minutes without letting the bottle drop?This is to pay attention to a bartender's skill and his psychological quality.

After the first round, as expected, one-third of the bartenders were missing.However, there are still [-] bartenders left to enter the second round.If all the high bartenders come on stage to perform, I am afraid that the competition will not be over until dawn.

Therefore, another screening method was adopted in the second round, which is faster than speed.

In front of the ten tables, there are bartending utensils, three bottles of brand-name red wine, ice cubes and fruits.

Except for the top ten who came to participate in the competition last year and don't have to go up to compete, everyone else has to go up and make a glass of "blue margarita" that guests most often order.

Blue Margarita, after making it into wine, it looks like an ice blue ocean. The feeling of dark blue is intoxicating. It has very good effects, prolonging life, forgetting worries, and relieving fatigue...

There is no time limit for bartending this time, but it is more difficult than having a time limit.Because of this screening, only the fastest 20 people can enter the final round of the real finals.

Of course, don’t think that you can pass the level with just a couple of swipes. There are ten wine-tasting experts arranged by the bar to calculate the speed, and at the same time, they will also taste the prepared cocktails. The taste makes them nod before they can pass.

What's the use of speed alone if you can't make a good wine?It is impossible to pass the level in a daze.

Therefore, this screening is absolutely fair.

"Okay, the second round of the competition begins, the ten bartenders I ordered next, please come forward," said the sweet voice of the sexy hostess.

"Mr. Qu Zhi, bartender at Dynasty Bar."

"Mr. Ruan Ping, bartender at the PS bar."

……

"Ask ten bartenders to come to the stage immediately and prepare for the competition."

As soon as the voice fell, ten bartenders walked to the bartending table in the center of the stage.

They all have high morale and look like they are determined to win.

They are all the best bartenders in their home cities, and they have been bartending for three if not five years. They think that a glass of "blue margarita" is nothing to them.

After the sound of "start" fell, the ten people started to do it.

Everyone's movements are very skillful, most of them pour wine step by step, add ice, shake the wine, squeeze the juice...

Every now and then, someone would mix the wine first, and it only took a minute and a half, which is not slow in the bartending industry.

"Please taste" the bartender confidently made a gentleman's gesture and said to the judge next to him.

The judge nodded, picked up the blue cocktail, took a sip, frowned slightly, then picked up a sign next to it and held it up.

An "X" sign, representing the failure of the fastest bartender.

The bartender asked unwillingly, "Why?"

"Take a sip yourself." The judge didn't answer directly, but put his glass of Margarita on the table and said lightly.

The bartender didn't mind being tasted at all, and immediately picked up the wine and took a sip, his face turned blue, and he didn't dare to make another sound, and left the bartending position disheartened.

After the man went down, people began to mix the wine one after another.

Among the first batch of people, only three stayed, and seven people were eliminated directly, and these three people will compete against the time with the remaining bartenders in each group. Gotta stay in the end.

The first group went down, the second group came up, the second group was not as lucky as the first group, and only two people remained.

The third batch of five people, the fourth batch of four people...

In the sixth batch, Gu Yang actually appeared on the bartending table on the dance floor.

He put away his usual condescending smile. Before he started, he lightly rubbed his hands. Under the light, his ten fingers were slender than the average person, and they were very smooth and delicate, almost like a woman's hand. Compare.

With a sound of start, he started to move.

His movement gives people a dazzling feeling, grabbing wine, lifting the cap, and pouring wine, almost in the blink of an eye.

At the beginning, his actions immediately attracted the attention of most bartenders.

The bartenders who had dealt with Gu Yang just now had a sentence flashed in their minds, "This guy turns out to be a hidden master."

Gu Yang's speed is very fast, his expression is very focused, he shakes the wine with ice, and his movements are fast and elegant, which makes all the audience in the audience have an indescribable feeling, as if this guy is like a master of art, making people feel instantly Be attracted to him.

It took only one minute and five seconds for Gu Yang to finish the bartending. This speed shocked everyone in the audience, because he was the fastest bartender among all the people so far.

"This kid is so fast, he is no worse than last year's top five masters, but does he know how the wine tastes?"

"In my opinion, it's just a boo. He will be the first one to qualify later."

"Probably not. Seeing that he is quite seasoned and skillful, he should be able to advance to the final round."

……

The bartenders in the audience started talking about Gu Yang.

Gu Yang didn't care about other people's comments at all, but bowed down with a confident smile and said to the judge, "Sir, please taste." At this time, Gu Yang looked very respectful as if he was treating a customer.

Just based on this evaluation alone, I have a good impression of Gu Yang. How can any of the bartenders in front of me treat the judgment as a customer like him, and the respectful appearance from the heart is like treating the customer as God , everyone will like this service attitude.

The judge picked up the blue cocktail, smelled it first, showed a satisfied smile, and then took a sip, a refreshing taste lingered in his mouth.

"Okay, very good." The judge immediately gave an evaluation, and then held up the pass sign.

"Damn it, this guy actually passed the test, he must have hit a dog and died."

"It seems that this guy still has some strength, but he can only squeeze into the top ten at most."

"I think you overestimate this guy. Look at that guy's arms are all signed. How can a bartender like him, who has no dignity at all, be in the top ten."
