he met his confidant

Xu Nuo watched Ah Jie mix the wine very seriously. He looked calm and concentrated on the wine glass in his hand. His nimble fingers held the silver spoon in skillful gestures and quickly stirred the ice cubes in the glass without making a sound. .The sound of the ice slamming illustrates the cut marks on the ice.He gently picked up the prepared brown foreign wine, poured it slowly and evenly into the wine glass, slowly raised it when 3/2 of the foreign wine was poured into it, and quickly set up the bar spoon, resting it on the top of the cup mouth, full and thin The smooth cream flows into the glass along the back of the spoon, and floats on the surface of the wine like a feather.Finally, Ah Jie put a bright red cherry on the sword and fork, and put it on the cup.Cherry red, wine tawny, creamy milky white.A cup of pure white love appeared in front of Xu Nuo.

"Brother Ah Jie, how old are you?" Xu Nuo watched Ah Jie when he was free and chatted with him.

"22 years old." Ah Jie's tone did not look like a young man at all, as if there was a kind of ethereal insight into the world.

"You're so young, how long have you been learning bartending?" Xu Xu saw that Ah Jie's bartending skills could not be so good in four or five years.

"It's been five years." Ah Jie thought for a while.

"It's been so long, you came to this bar early?" Xu Nuo asked curiously.

"Well, I started working with my boss when I was 15, and I took over as a bartender when I was 16, and I've been doing it until now." Ah Jie's thoughts went back to six years ago.

At the age of 15, Ah Jie rebelled and left home, and met his current boss.

Back then, the boss was originally a college student, and he was considered a high school girl. He met the big boss of a company, stalked her, and opened today's bar for the boss.

The boss back then was a very innocent little girl, as pure as a piece of white paper, and also very kind.

At that time, the bar had just opened, and Ah Jie, who had nowhere to go, saw the recruitment information and applied for it. He was not allowed to work at the age of 15. Ah Jie lied to the boss that he was already old. The boss knew that Ah Jie was a child at all. Leave him as a waiter, just order food for the guests. The boss not only pays Ah Jie a high salary, but also provides him with free board and lodging.

At that time, the little Ah Jie regarded the boss as a big sister and helped her manage the bar wholeheartedly. Ah Jie heard that the boss was a college student and was very happy for the boss to have such an excellent boyfriend.

The boss's boyfriend is the chairman of a company, and he can be regarded as a public figure. Once the boss accidentally discovered that his boyfriend was married, and he became a mistress.

The boss always hid in the bar and did not go to class, and was later expelled from the school.

The boss was found by his boyfriend's wife, and he beat her and scolded her in front of everyone. Ah Jie was very scared and felt sorry for the boss. He used his thin body to protect the boss.

The boss later washed his face with tears every day, and he was not in the mood to take care of the bar. There were fewer and fewer guests in the bar. Ah Jie couldn't bear the house that the boss managed so hard to run down like this, so he started to manage it. Although it was very hard, Ah Jie thought As long as you work hard, there will be rewards.

The bar could no longer afford to pay the salaries of its employees. The old bartender saw that there was no future for him to stay any longer, so he left, and the waiters also gradually left.

The boss didn't care at all that the bar couldn't continue to operate. Funds were in short supply. The always simple boss began to like to buy luxury goods, clothes and jewelry were expensive.

Ah Jie knew that the boss was in a bad mood, so he didn't bother. Since the boss likes to buy luxury goods, he should manage the bar well and satisfy the boss.

Ah Jie began to learn bartending by himself, all kinds of tricks and flavors were learned by Ah Jie himself, and Ah Jie made the deserted bar lively again.

It's just that when the boss can never get back to being happy, all Ah Jie can do is run the bar well, which is the best reward for the boss.

In this way, Ah Jie has been with the boss for six years. Ah Jie has long forgotten that he still has a home. He thinks that the place where there is a boss is his home.

Seeing that Ah Jie hadn't spoken for a long time, Xu Nuo still had tears in his eyes, "Did Brother Ah Jie think of something sad?" Xu Nuo asked him cautiously.

"No, some past events made you laugh." Ah Jie stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, "No one drinks now, so I'll teach you how to make a bar!" Ah Jie looked at Xu Xu and said.

"Okay, Master Jie, I will definitely study hard." Xu Nuo said mischievously.

"The requirements for each type of wine are different. Generally, the main types of wine are brandy, rum, tequila, whiskey, vodka, and gin." Ah Jie said while pointing to the wine rack on the back. wine presentation.

"Champagne glasses are generally shallow-bellied and wide-mouthed. This can fully express the aroma of the wine, and it is also convenient for quick pouring and drinking."

"Drinking whiskey, the mouth of the glass can be large or small, as long as it is convenient to add ice and water. This is because drinking whiskey is more casual, you can drink it pure, you can add ice cubes, the taste is rich, not strong and not choking. You can add water , the taste of the wine is lighter, but the aroma is still strong." A Jie picked up the glass and poured some whiskey, then added some water and ice cubes for Xu Xu to drink.

"I'm afraid of getting drunk." Xu Nuo said awkwardly.

"The whiskey with ice and water is clear and refreshing. You can try it." Ah Jie insisted on asking Xu Nuo to try it.

"I'll give it a try." After sniffing it, Xu Nuo felt that it was really as Ah Jie said, so he decided to give it a try, "It's really refreshing." Xu Nuo said with a smirk after drinking.

Ah Jie returned to Xu Nuo with a smiling face and continued, "When tasting brandy, you must use a brandy glass with a big mouth and a small mouth. Only pour about one ounce into the glass at a time. Put the glass in the palm of your hand and warm the wine with the heat of your palm. When drinking, drink it lightly." Swirl the wine glass, smell the aroma with your nose, and then sip carefully." After speaking, Ah Jie poured another glass.

"Brother Jie, I really don't want to drink anymore." Xu Nuo thought that Jie wanted to drink by himself again, so he quickly shook his hand.

"Hehe, I won't give it to you if you want to drink it. I'm afraid you're drunk and I can't handle it." Then he drank slowly by himself.

"I'll teach you this today, and remember it carefully." Ah Jie said to the promise who took notes carefully, "It's getting late, and you should get off work."

"Well, I'll leave after writing my notes." Xu Nuo has been concentrating on writing notes.

"It's so late, why don't you open the door when you go back to the dormitory." Ah Jie asked kindly.

"Ah...it seems to be." Xu Nuo said worriedly while biting his pen.

"Forget it, stay with me tonight." Ah Jie said generously.

"I will pay the rent." Promised not wanting to owe others.

"You're slapping me in the face. The place where I live is where the boss kindly let me live. Can I charge you more money?" Ah Jie patted Xu Nuo's head.

"Thank you Brother Jie." Xu Nuo said with a smirk.
