Oh, how do you hit someone?

Xu Li called him in and gave him a suit of clothes.

The man next to him smiled and asked, "Is this the person you mentioned? He looks good."

Xu Li pointed to the man and said, "My boss, Zhang Xuemao, just call him the store manager."

Pei Jiding called "the store manager" and was pushed by Xu Li to change his clothes. The clothes were ordinary bartender uniforms, white shirt, black vest, and suit pants.Pei Jiding has a good figure and looks stylish in his clothes.

Xu Li looked around, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "I have good eyesight."

The facade of the bar is not ostentatious, but there is a lot of space inside, and the bar is only a small part.

Xu Li pointed to the wine cabinet and asked, "Do you know all of these?"

"I know." Pei Jiding glanced at it, and it wasn't some hard-to-recognize wine.

Xu Li nodded with satisfaction, and said, "When I was mixing drinks, I asked you to get which one for me. When the list comes, you read it accordingly, and then you are responsible for delivering the wine to the guests."

"The rules of the full stop, as long as it's a cocktail, you can order it yourself and take it yourself. You don't need to remember the table number. If you see no wine glasses, there will be a number on it. Just face it when someone comes." Xu Li took out a wine glass and gave it to him. Look, "I'm a bit more human. I don't like people chatting with me when I'm bartending, and they don't have eyes. Please help me stop it."

Pei Jiding agreed.

There are not many employees in the period, and the bar is far away from the dance floor. Pei Jiding can see a few people there setting up the venue, but it has nothing to do with him.

After six o'clock, people came here one after another. Such a remote place was actually quite lively, and Pei Jiding finally understood why Xu Li wanted a helper who worked part-time.

There were few people who came to sit at the bar, and they were all crowded on the dance floor, but those who ordered wine were not as lonely as the bar, and there was a steady stream of people who came to give away signs. Seeing him, they were all surprised. Pei Jiding kept smiling, received the signs, Pass wine to Xu Li, and wait for the guests to come to get the wine. Some people are waiting nearby, and some people ask for wine early in the morning, but no one comes to get it in the middle of the night.

The music in the store was very exciting, and the twists and turns on the dance floor were quite enjoyable, but no matter how out of the ordinary, Pei Jiding was used to it, and it was Xu Li who made him more interested.Xu Li's bartending skills are top-notch, smooth and beautiful. She doesn't like to smile when bartending. Pei Jiding loves to watch her pour wine. After opening and closing, the wine pot knocks on the table, and the wine flows into the glass , there is a kind of calm where everything is over and everything is over.

It wasn't until after two o'clock in the morning that several guests were seated at the bar one after another. There was an elder brother with a tattoo on his arm and a black vest in the cold weather who sat closest to Xu Li. He ordered a glass of wine and spoke to Xu Li. Li said, "It's been a long time since I sat at the bar."

Xu Li glanced at him, but said nothing.

This is the first one that doesn't have eyes.

The elder brother was not embarrassed either. Looking at Pei Jiding, he asked Xu Li, "This is new? You have a good eye."

Pei Jiding wanted to take over the topic, so as not to bother Xu Li again, but when he stopped, he put the jug on the bar and said, "My apprentice."

The tattooed man glanced at Pei Jiding and smiled: "How old is it?"

Pei Jiding glanced at Xu Li, and Xu Li pushed the wine glass out without saying anything.

"22." Pei Jiding said.

"Very good, young. I, Lu Lang, am a regular customer of the period. Let's get acquainted?" Lu Lang stretched out his hand.

"Pei Jiding." Pei Jiding shook hands with him generously and said, "Brother Lu."

Lu Lang was the only one who didn't have eyesight tonight, because Xu Li put a triangular iron sign on the bar after Lu Lang left the bar to go to the dance floor, saying "Temporary Rest".

Xu Li threw a bottle of whiskey to Pei Jiding and said, "Go, get off work."

Pei Jiding followed Xu Li across the dance floor and walked to the staff changing room.

The light spots reflected by the light ball climbed up from the ground to Pei Jiding's face, separated by an aisle, it was the place Pei Jiding was most familiar with, exciting music, primitive desire, he rotted under the wanton carnival, and then the next morning be buried.

Pei Jiding can find countless former him on the dance floor and in the surrounding booths. The restless music and crowd made Pei Jiding panic.

"Hey!" Xu Li patted Pei Jiding on the back and looked him up, "You don't want to try it, do you?"

Pei Jiding came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "No, am I leaving early?"

"It doesn't count, your boss is me, when I get off work, what time do you get off work."

"Oh."

"I've been doing this all the time, and Zhang Xuemao doesn't care about me." Xu Li pointed to the dance floor and said, "Don't go."

Her voice was low, with a kind of warning and helplessness.

Xu Li came by car, a white Toyota, parked next to the period.Inside the full stop, the lights are feasting, and as soon as the glass door is opened and closed, it is that lonely and dilapidated corner again.

Pei Jiding felt that he had returned to the world.

It's a bit hypocritical to describe it like this. I don't know how many people are addicted to late night disco, seeking themselves, taking off the burden under the high pressure of society, and releasing themselves. These are unavoidable things for Pei Jiding. He was once indulged and ruined his life. , I wish there was a cage that could imprison him and teach him how to live in a well-regulated way.

A lot of cars were parked at the entrance of the period, expensive ones, cheap ones, four-seaters, six-seaters, gathered in front of such a small bar, Pei Jiding was a little dazed.

Xu Li drove a Toyota to him and wanted to lower the window, and said, "Do you want to learn how to mix wine?"

Pei Jiding nodded: "How do you know?"

"Your eyes almost fell out when I was mixing wine, do you think I'm blind?"

Pei Jiding blushed a little, and asked, "Is it that obvious?"

Xu Li was amused by his honesty, and didn't answer, just said: "Tomorrow, let me teach you." Then she rolled up the window and left.

Pei Jiding is used to the upside-down day and night schedule. When he woke up at noon the next day, Pei Jiding thought about making noodles, but when he opened the refrigerator, he found something was wrong.

The vegetables in the upper layer were all frozen, while the meat in the lower layer was dripping with water.Pei Jiding frantically cleaned up the refrigerator, washed all the meat obsessively, and put it in the freezer.

Potatoes and other root vegetables are frozen when they are frozen, but cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. are soft after thawing. It looks a bit disgusting. Pei Jiding hesitated for a moment, and then added a few pieces of pork to these vegetables to make a Stew.

The taste is hard to describe, but Pei Jiding thinks it can still be eaten, and it even tastes a little bit hot after eating for a long time.

At the end of the afternoon, Zhang Xuemao was not there.

Xu Li took the rum from the shelf and taught Pei Jiding a more basic Mojito. This wine is very simple, and Xu Li's fancy wine-turning skills can't be used at all.

Press lime juice, pour mint and syrup into a wine glass, then pour rum, add ice cubes, and it's done when you order soda.

The alcohol content of Mojito is not high, and the transparent wine is embellished with mint leaves, which is bright and fresh.

This wine does not require high technical content, and it is a piece of cake for Xu Li, with skillful movements and ease, but when it comes to Pei Jiding, it is not the case.

Just squeezing the lime juice made it hard for Pei Jiding.When Xu Li was doing it, she held the cut lime with one hand, and the lemon juice poured out when she twisted it in her hand. She didn't even look at the scale. It's 30ml, which is not much worse than the scale.

Pei Jiding did the same way, the lime was cut crookedly, and when he twisted his hands, the half of the small lemon was like a seven-year-old child, either fell on the table and jumped all the way to the ground, or fell into the cup, throwing the countless lemons inside. Too much lemon juice splattered everywhere.

He wasted three or four before pouring out a complete and clean 30ml of lemon juice. Xu Li gave two glasses of stainless steel with scales. Pouring rum and syrup was obviously much easier than lemon juice.

It is easy to deal with ingredients with specific measurements, but when the most soulful amount of cooking comes out, Pei Jiding can't hold it anymore. Xu Li said seven or eight ice cubes, how much is seven or eight?Also say a small amount of soda, how much is a small amount?Pei Jiding almost put a piece of ice and asked a question, and asked again when he got a drop of soda water. After he added the soda, the ice was half melted at first. Xu Li asked him to drink it by himself. Pei Jiding took a sip and frowned. .

There was still too much soda and more ice, which covered up the sweetness and alcohol a lot, and it was bitter in the mouth, with refreshing mint in it. In Pei Jiding's opinion, it was not much different from a better-tasting mouthwash.

Xu Li said: "Your ice cubes are like stacking bricks one by one. I can't wait to fill up the glass. It's strange if there are not many."

She looked at her watch and said, "Go ahead and practice. It just so happens that Zhang Xuemao is not here today, so the materials in the shop are useless."

Pei Jiding practiced for three hours, and in the end only one cup was rated as okay by Xu Li, but it was still at the layman's level.

Pei Jiding looked at the mojito with half of the ice cubes gone, took out his mobile phone and took a photo at an angle. Xu Li glanced at it and said, "The wine is not professional, but the photography skills are not bad."

There were a lot more people at the bar tonight, and that Lu Lang came again, but he wisely ignored Xu Li and kept asking Pei Jiding questions instead.

Who is Pei Jiding? After all, he has been in various wine bars for so long, and Che Jilu is the best at talking. Lu Lang ordered a bottle of foreign wine and settled down at the bar. He licked his face and asked Pei Jiding to add ice cubes.

Xu Li still watched coldly, calling Pei Jiding to get off work again at two or three o'clock.

Lu Lang didn't go to the dance floor tonight, so he said to Xu Li with a glass of wine, "You get off work as soon as you get off work, why don't you call me young and young, and we've just started our nightlife."

Xu Li said: "You hung that one a few days ago, and you got tired of playing it in two days? This room is full of your kindred spirits, don't stare at the staff."

Pei Jiding felt that something was wrong, he had been patronizing Xu Li's bartending for the past two days, but he really didn't pay much attention to the business situation of the period.

Lu Lang clung to him today, and that kind of interest emanated from every hair on his body. Pei Jiding is not unfamiliar with this kind of signal. Treat the bartender, waiter, or master princess like this.

It was Xu Li's words that made Pei Jiding wary.Choked by Xu Li, Lu Lang raised his hand to express his surrender, but smiled at Pei Jiding inexplicably.

Pei Jiding changed his clothes and saw Lu Lang holding a wine glass at the door of the fitting room.The fitting room is in an aisle, and outside is the dance floor with flashing lights. Lu Lang is a few centimeters taller than Pei Jiding, and his body is also much wider. He leans on the wall and raises his glass to Pei Jiding: "Xu Li is so old-fashioned, don't worry about her, Shall I play with you?"

Pei Jiding is a man, and a man who is used to seeing nightclubs and bars. Lu Lang's words between the lines clearly imply that he is very clear. Pei Jiding raised the corner of his mouth: "Sorry, I'm not good at this."

Lu Lang didn't take it seriously, and sneered: "Do you know where this is? It's not good? Are you lying to a ghost?"
