I'm just an information dealer

Argo handed the mixed wine to Yuyue Qiaoke who was sitting in front of the bar.

"Master Mouse, you don't need to call me Mr. Chocolate in this private moment~"

"Excuse me, I'm used to it in the company, and you don't call me the mouse too?"

Argo smiled, and at this point the two were each other.

"Well, that's true, but now my mind is full of thoughts about the live broadcast."

Yue Yueqiao also smiled, but this smile was a little sad.

"But it's not very easy to do in this industry, and I don't make much money at the moment."

The current vtuber industry is still relatively deserted. Except for famous V characters such as Kizuna Ai and Nekomiya Hinata, other vtubers are still a bit difficult to do.

"After all, we are not very famous in this world. At that time, when your senior Shi Nakong held his first concert, there were only thirteen people."

Argo closed his eyes and thought about it. Although it is much better than before, there are still some difficulties.

"Now there are a lot of vtubers who are doing live broadcasting and doing other jobs part-time. As far as I know, Ms. Natsuko Matsuri is doing live broadcasting while working part-time. So is Ms. Ozora Subaru. Before yagoo found her, she had a lot of part-time jobs. innumerable."

And even if she is in vtuber, it only relieves the pressure on her body. Ms. Ozora Subaru is still doing other part-time jobs.

"There are also many places in the company that are standing still due to economic difficulties."

Thinking of Argo, I sighed for a while. When I first joined the company, many things and plans were subsidized with her own money.

"...But that's why we have to work harder, right?"

"Oh~ Mr. Chocolate really understands, he is indeed the member with the most colorful appearance but the clearest."

Argo praised Mr. Chocolate.

"Master Mouse, don't praise me. If you say that, I don't know what will happen in the future."

Teacher Chocolate drank the wine on the table with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, it will definitely get better, just hold on."

"Then I'll wait here first~"

While the two were chatting, Masami Iwasawa, who was serving as a waiter, came over.

"Deputy store manager, this is the order for table seven."

"I see, thanks for your hard work."

After Iwasawa Masami left, Yuzuki Choke said to Argo.

"It's a nice child, but I remember she's underage. It's illegal to employ child labor, Mr. Mouse."

"Yami is almost an adult, so she is not considered a child laborer. Besides, she is only here to work part-time. I give her food and lodging, and she helps me work. It's a deal, understand?"

Argo gave Yueyue Qiaoke a helpless look, then looked at Yami who was working not far away and said.

"Besides, Masami is still continuing to realize her dream."

"That musician's dream, I've heard her play, it's pleasing to the eye."

In addition to working in the bar, Masami usually performs in the bar from time to time, and the result is unexpectedly popular, and the guests are looking forward to Masami's next performance.

As a result, Masami's guitar became one of the characteristics of this bar before I knew it.

"Not only that, I heard that she met some good friends outside and formed a band called Girls Dead Monster, or GDM for short."

For this reason, both Tainaka Ritsu and Xiao Wei came to her and cried, saying that Masami was going to abandon them and leave, but after that, the two bands still often got together for afternoon tea.

"Hey, that's really good. I really hope to hear their performance."

"There is a chance. Yami already plans to hold a small concert in the bar. The store manager and I have no objection to this. Sometimes a different performance will attract more people to the bar."

This is killing two birds with one stone, Yami can continue to realize her dream, and the business of the bar will be better, I am so smart.

Argo boasted in his heart.

Jingle bell~

A clear voice sounded, and the representative came in again.

What came in was a beautiful woman with bright blue long hair, golden eyes that seemed to be emitting light, and a perfect figure that made the male guests present couldn't help but glance over, just like an elf from the Snow Country .

"Good evening Miss Mira, today is the same, right?"

"Yes, please, the deputy store manager."

The blue-haired woman showed a sweet smile, and her voice was very soft, which made people feel relaxed.

The blue-haired woman walked to the bar and sat down beside Yue Yue Qiaoke.

"Good evening, Mira-sama."

"Good evening, Ms. Niku, by the way, is your lord......?"

The two greeted each other, obviously it was not the first time they had met, but they still had some doubts about Yue Yue Qiaoke's title of each other.

"Ah, sorry to get used to it, you should treat it as an occupational disease."

"Hey, it's really interesting, hehehe~"

Mira covered her mouth and covered her smile, her demeanor, words and deeds were full of gentleness and courtesy.

"Here, here is your sake."

Argo came back at this time, and she handed Miss Mira a jug of sake and a small wine glass (like a small saucer) for her own use.

"Thank you."

Mira couldn't wait to pour a cup, then drank it happily, and then made a refreshing sound.

"Ha~ Sure enough, the wine here is the best, and the other stores are also delicious, but there is an inexplicable sense of lack."

"It's best if it fits your heart."

Argo accepted the praise without humility. To be honest, if the beauty in front of him is really an elf, then she should be considered an alcohol spirit.

Miss Mira, one of the regular customers who patronize the alley bar for many years, and likes to drink very much (and it is more than [-] degrees), it can be said that most of the sake in the bar contributed to her.

Since he is a regular customer of the bar, he is somewhat familiar with other regular customers, and Yue Yue Qiao Ke is one of them.

But I have to say that many of the old customers of the bar are rare beauties, whether it is Yue Yue Qiao Ke or Miss Mira.

"Miss Mira doesn't come here very much recently, what's the matter?"

Argo was chatting with Mira while making orders for other tables.

"Oh, the workload has become a lot recently."

When it comes to the topic of work, Ms. Mira has a headache. I think the recent work is very complicated.

By the way, Miss Mira's current job is in the insurance business.

"I don't know what's going on for a while. Two buildings collapsed. One of them was a department store that had encountered a terrorist organization for several weeks, and the other was a building that was still under construction."

After speaking, Miss Mira silently drank a glass of sake, and then continued to complain.

"Thanks to this, those of us dealing with insurance have had a dramatically increased workload, and it's not easy to take a break now."

It seems that Miss Mira really has a lot of complaints about this, but it's just like a child acting like a baby to others. "

"Hmph~ If you let me know who caused these accidents, I think I will give him/her a hard time."

Argo didn't say a word, and silently shed cold sweat.

………Separation area………

Some people said that they want to watch the daily life of bars, but the author also thinks that there are few plots about bars.

So these chapters should be about the daily life of the protagonist in the bar~

Volume 2 continues the happy daily life: Chapter [-] Ice Slicing and Pucks

Argo looked away guiltily, not looking at Miss Mira's complaining expression.

"By the way, the deputy store manager, I heard that you know a lot, so do you know about the collapse of the building......"

"Ahh~Miss Mira, do you want to drink today's newly purchased liquor? Since you are a regular customer of our store, I can give you a discount~"

"Huh? Okay, okay..."

Argo took out a bottle of white wine with bright packaging from the shelf behind him, and poured a bottle for Miss Mira.

"You're here to relax tonight, so you don't have to talk about work worries."

"That's right, that's good! I'm going to have a good drink tonight!"

Agreeing to Argo's words, Miss Mira drank the wine in her hand directly, and then waved her hand. "

"Deputy store manager, bring me any good wine or good bartending! It doesn't matter if it's Long Island iced tea!"

Mira took out a credit card from her pocket and slapped it on the table.

"Don't worry, I have money!"

"Okay~I'll send it to you right away~"

Yue Yue Qiaoke on the side looked at Argo, whose eyes were full of money patterns, and smiled silently. Mr. Mouse really has no resistance to money and so on.

With the guarantee of money, Argo's motivation surged instantly, and he served Mira with various good wines at once.

And Argo also brought a large ice brick from the freezer, and then began to cut the ice brick under the expectant eyes of Mira, Yue Yueqiao and other guests.

First use a saw to cut the ice bricks into small cubes of equal parts, then pick up the ice chisel and toss it in your hand to make an ornamental knife flower, and then start to cut ice cubes.

A technical job of the bartender: chipping the ice ball, ice is very important to cocktails and bartending.

Professional bars are very particular about water and ice cubes, and making ice cubes is a technical job.

Large pieces of ice have to be cut with a saw, which requires strength, but brute force alone is not enough. After being cut into small pieces, it needs to be carved carefully, which is difficult to do without years of training.

Although there are special machines that can make ice hockey without physical effort, many bars will choose hand-made ice hockey, and ice-chiseling is the basic skill of bartenders, which reflects the aesthetics and the pursuit of elegance. The texture adds reflections for a more crystalline shine.

Of course, Argo also mastered this technique. She picked up the ice pick without hesitation and began to dig ice in an orderly and elegant manner.

Where to start, what strength to use, and what posture to look good, Argo doesn't need to think about these things, because she has been proficient for a long time, and she doesn't need to think for more than half a second about what kind of ice puck she wants to carve out.

"Oh~" X n

The guests in the bar were all amazed at Argo's skillful ice-cutting, even throwing and catching ice bricks like a magician performing.

"By the way, why do you have to cut it into a hockey puck? Can't you use ordinary ice?"

At this time, the two guests on the side were discussing in a low voice.

"Maybe it's to save some alcohol? You see, the hockey puck is so big and our cup is so small, it will probably melt soon after putting it in, basically there is not much wine left."

"That's not the case, my two guests."

When Argo spoke suddenly, the two guests were taken aback. Argo turned her head and explained to them, and at the same time, her hands did not stop.

"We drink wine like whiskey with ice balls. The reason is that the square ice cubes tend to melt from the corners. Too much water will over-dilute the wine as you said."

Talking behind the back was heard by the person concerned, the two guests were a little embarrassed, but Argo just smiled kindly.

"Ice is the soul of cocktails. It can lower the temperature and increase the taste. The ice we use for hockey pucks actually needs to be frozen at minus 22 degrees for a week. After such old ice is chiseled into balls, the melting speed will decrease due to the smaller surface area. It is much slower than ordinary ice cubes, and it can also awaken the aroma of aging wine in the wine."

Argo gestured with his eyes to the ice hockey in the wine glass on the table of the two of them.

"So this ice ball will not melt for a long time, and the taste of this glass of wine will not be diluted much. From the looks of the two of you, I think they don't come to the bar often.

"Yes, yes..."

The two guests touched their heads and smiled wryly, and at this time Argo had finished chipping three hockey pucks.

"It's normal for the two of you to be unclear about this kind of partial knowledge. It's not the first time you have such doubts, and they won't be the last."

"But why is there not a puck in my wine glass, but crushed ice?"

At this time, a girl sitting next to Mira looked curiously at the crushed ice in the wine glass.

"Not all wines are suitable for ice hockey. There are many kinds of ice. Only the right ice can give the corresponding wine the best taste."

Argo carefully looked at the girl in front of him, wearing an earmuff earphone around her neck, with short shoulder-length hair that was pinkish and the inner layer dyed green, and a pair of big crimson eyes that were like rubies.
