Chapter 334(1/2)
"Hello, what do you need?"
After the fat young man opened the door and came in, his steps were a little slow. His eyes were always focused on Lu Ze. He rubbed his hands on the left and right sides of his pants twice. Lu Ze could clearly see his Adam's apple.
After a while, I didn’t know where all the saliva came from.
"Hello, Lu Ze, I really like your drama...that...I want to buy some beer. Who is the boss?"
"Oh, I just drink craft beer often? Do you need me to recommend it?"
Lu Ze stood up and walked over to the man and talked to him formally. Seeing that the man was a little nervous, there was no way to calm the atmosphere for a while. Fame will always cause you more troubles than benefits after you return to ordinary life.
Much.
Now if Lu Ze calls on his fans to take care of his business, his income will definitely be much higher than it is now, but if he really plays himself as an Internet celebrity, it will be meaningless, and Lu Ze is not willing to do that kind of thing to sell his face.
Son, Lu Ze didn’t touch any of those popular short videos or WeChat businesses. He only opened an online store on a food delivery software and delivered goods to customers in the same city, without mentioning whose store it was.
You can say that Lu Ze has not been forced to that point yet. Otherwise, if he were asked to dig out shit, he would have to do it in order to survive. This is true, but it is not to that point.
"Is this your shop? Why...Oh, I have only been exposed to craft beer for half a year, and I have not tasted many types. I am just a beginner. Recently, I want to try making some at home, and I also want to advance.
Now, it is said that there is a chain of contempt for craft beer. I really don’t know how to choose, just don’t take it out and it will be too embarrassing.”
The man choked back the questions in his heart, which made Lu Ze feel a lot more relaxed. He didn't have to explain over and over again why he opened a beer hall. It would undoubtedly be more comfortable to get along with him. After hearing what the man said later, he just shook his head and smiled, turning sideways.
Go into the bar.
He actually hates the fact that drinking a bottle of beer is divided into entry level and advanced level. What does it mean if you are advanced? Does it prove how big your beer belly is?
This is nothing more than a matter of personal financial strength. If you have money, of course you don’t mind trying Anchorage that costs thousands of dollars a can. From the outside, it seems to outsiders that you have drank IPAs of this grade in Anchorage. Then
Definitely an audiophile.
But if your financial strength is insufficient and you can only drink Godfather that costs seven yuan a bottle, in the eyes of others, you may be just a novice who has just started drinking craft beer. So in the end, what is the difference between a beginner and an enthusiast?
It’s just money. As for the taste, if your tongue is easy to use, who can’t taste it?
As for the chain of contempt, those who drink sour beer look down on those who drink stout, those who drink stout look down on those who drink IPA, those who drink IPA look down on those who drink wheat, and those who drink wheat look down on those who drink water beer. Are you tired? God and earth do not care.
Can you control people's poop and farts? Can you control what they want to drink? To put it bluntly, those who despise craft beer are people who have a considerable sense of superiority and like to follow trends they heard from nowhere.
Lu Ze has always scorned these two statements, but he is a guest, here to buy drinks, not to listen to your lectures. Lu Ze will not say such words, he just sits behind the bar with his hands crossed.
He raised his chin and asked the next question.
"What price do you have in mind? Do you think it's serious?"
"It should be less than 20 yuan. It's not too bad. It's not too heavy."
"Have you driven?"
"No, my home is nearby. I came here while taking a walk. It's the weekend and I don't have to go to work."
Nodding, Lu Ze took two wine glasses, turned around and picked up a brown wine bottle with a skull pattern on the cover from the wine rack. For those who didn't know, he might have mistaken it for dichlorvos. After opening it with a push-type bottle opener, he issued a
There was a soft bang.
Picking up the wine glass at an angle, the slightly turbid wine flows along the wall of the glass, and a layer of bubbles gradually rises. The graininess is much smaller than that of the big green stick. It looks like a layer of cream, white, dense, and tinged.
With the faint aroma of wheat.
Stop when there is still a quarter of the wine in the bottle, shake the remaining wine clockwise to bring out the sediment at the bottom of the bottle, which is the essence of a beer, and finally pour it directly into two cups.
Waved to the man.
"Dead soul, have a taste."
The foam of this wine dissipated quickly. The man did not dare to delay. He took a sip of the foam, which only brought a faint taste of wheat and cocoa. Then he took the first sip of the wine, and the taste of citrus and cocoa washed away first.
When it comes to drinking, the taste of hops is different from the previous drinks that the man drank, and the bitterness will be stronger, but the aftertaste after swallowing has a very strong aroma, the taste is very rich, and the balance of the taste is also well managed.
Very good, he liked it instantly.
The man was quietly tasting the beer, but Lu Ze noticed that there were three men and two women outside the door looking into the room through the windows. After looking at the five people, Lu Ze did not say hello, but just nodded and looked again.
Back to the man.
"Is it here?"
"Yes, yes! Isn't Dahai sitting inside? Holy shit! I saw Lu Ze! He made eye contact with me! It's really Lu Ze! Shall we go in?"
"Why don't you come in? You want an autograph. The sea is inside. What are you afraid of? Come in quickly."
The doorbell rang again. Seeing Lu Ze chatting with the guests, Gao Peiling got up and went over to say hello, smiling at the five helpless people.
"We come to find friends...the sea! the sea!"
"Here you come? Sit down, do you want something to drink? Lao Yang, can you try it? I think it tastes good. I'm going to buy some to take home. See if you like it?"
None of the five people refused the proposal to drink. They just wanted to stay here for a while and watch the celebrities. The bar was too small and could only seat four people. They had no choice but to move to the wine table. Lu Ze helped them pick out several bottles.
After drinking beer, I took out some potato chips and nuts, and followed the six people to chat with the music played on the record player.
"Lu Ze, can you sign your autograph for me? I really like your movie. I've watched it over and over again. It's a hardcore movie. I don't even know what to say now. In short, it's just...
...Extremely exciting!”
One of the girls spoke first, and it was obvious that she was really excited. After just two sips of beer, her face turned very rosy, which obviously had nothing to do with the wine.
"Forget it about signing autographs. I'm not an artist now, so autographs aren't of much value. Now I've opened my own shop. You can see me at any time. Everyone comes here to sit and chat. It's also lively.
.”
This was the first time Lu Ze refused a request for an autograph, but this did not disappoint them. On the contrary, they were even more happy. Being able to make friends with their idols, wouldn’t that be much better than asking for an autograph? Let’s go to Lu Ze’s shop for a drink today.
Drink, maybe you can ask Lu Ze to go fishing tomorrow. Wouldn’t that be awesome?
Lu Ze didn't mind making friends with them. Now that he's in the beer business, you can't rely on new customers to make profits. If you want to maintain profits, you must rely on the support of repeat customers.
After drinking alcohol, the atmosphere gradually became warmer. The six people lost their sense of restraint. When they were happy, they went to the refrigerator to search for their favorite wines. The record player was also turned off, the TV was turned on, and the set-top box played a movie until
As night fell, the yellow ambient lights turned on and the small colored lights began to flicker. The six of them stood up to say goodbye. Each of them carried a dozen of their favorite beers and the garbage left behind from the takeaway, and said goodbye to Lu Ze enthusiastically.
After seeing off the six people, Lu Ze sat on a chair and lit a cigarette. Gao Peiling rushed to clean the table and fed the lame man dinner. She turned around and saw Lu Ze deep in thought. Perhaps due to the influence of the ambient light and alcohol, she sat down on Lu Ze.
Next to Ze, Lu Ze became more courageous. He grabbed Lu Ze's shoulder and put it on his shoulder.
"It's getting late, I'll take you back."
Lu Ze said something disappointing, which made her mood not so happy. This kind of environment is particularly suitable for romance. If you have to tell me to get out, what do you mean?
She didn't believe that Lu Ze was just a piece of wood, but should be shrewd and top-notch. Either Lu Ze was really that upright and refused to do anything to her even though she was willing, or he had something on his mind or someone, so she asked about women.
A question asked.
"Brother Ze...how many girlfriends have you had before?"
"Me? It seems like I haven't."
"What? You're still trying to fool me into having no ex on the Internet, and you don't admit it?"
"Why do you say the same thing? If it does, I'm already in my thirties, can I still hide it? I think it's a shame not to have a girlfriend in my thirties...
.”
Indeed, Lu Ze struggled to make a comeback in the first twenty-four years of his life, and was busy with his future in the next seven years. There were women who left a huge mark in his life, but no one could truly become his passer-by, not even that gangster.
The woman he lost his virginity to, the two of them didn't seem to have much emotional communication. They didn't even say that they liked you, and Lu Zebai had been a prostitute for half a year.
The only daily communication is "Are you going to play today?", "I have work today", eating from one pot and sleeping under the same quilt, that's all.
But when these words came out of Lu Ze's mouth, who could believe it? At least Gao Peiling didn't believe it. There was no quarrel or fussing. First, the two of them had only been together for a short time, and there were not many reasons to quarrel during this period. Second, she
There is no need to force Lu Ze to create a woman who has owned Lu Ze for her, so that she can be jealous of a loser.
It's just... now that the atmosphere is gone, she feels that the exchange of liquids should be slowed down later.
"It's indeed a bit late. I have to go home. I have work tomorrow. Brother Ze, will you see me off?"
"good."
Carrying her bag, after the two of them went out, they hailed a taxi, sent her into the car and memorized the license plate number. They watched the taxi slowly leave, lit a cigarette, and kicked the snow that had frozen in the middle of the night.
Stack and return to the store.
Closing is at ten o'clock every night. This is the time set by Lu Ze, because after ten o'clock, there will be people having supper and drinking. As for whoever wants to wait in the second half of the night, he cannot accompany them.
A bill was printed, the beer was put into a plastic bag, the bill was stapled to the plastic bag, two extra wine glasses were given, he sat behind the bar and teased the cripple, and the rider came to pick up the goods and sold them again.
When I placed an order, the business on the first day was better than Lu Ze thought.
"Ling ring ring...Sister Gao, I have to ask you to help me recharge my phone bill again..."
"Hello, welcome."
After closing Xiaoxiao Lok and putting his phone in his pocket, Lu Ze stood up and watched a girl struggling to open the door. The walking stick made a clicking sound on the ground. After hearing Lu Ze's voice, he stopped in confusion and raised his ears.
It actually moved twice.
"Hello, is this Xi'an Cafe?"
"The coffee shop is no longer available, and now we have opened a beer house."
"Then...I'm sorry to bother you."
To be continued...
