Listening to Ji Bin's words, Ji Dong's thoughts raced. Someone robbed the Bartenders Guild? For what purpose? You know, the most precious thing in the Bartenders Guild is probably wine. For wine, you have to kill people and rob.
, this is too much. Moreover, the ones dispatched are all magicians, there must be some hidden secret in this.
Ji Bin continued: "The Bartenders Guild is also a first-class association, especially since the Guild is located in the capital of our Beishui Empire. After this incident, the imperial royal family was furious and ordered a strict investigation. Entry and exit from Tianshui City were restricted.
Du Sikan, the god of wine, was even more furious, and even his old man's family was robbed. That's why we have this city gate inspection. Do you want to go to our guild? I will take you there."
Ji Dong probably understood the whole story, shook his head to Ji Bin and said: "No, we can just go into the city by ourselves. Thank you for telling us.
Ji Bin and another magician kept sending Ji Dong into the city. He did not return to the city gate to assist in the inspection. Instead, he went directly back to the Tianshui City branch of the Magician's Guild. The law enforcement elder was here, how could he not hurry up and pass through the city?
Report.
Walking into Tianshui City, Ji Dong had no intention of admiring the deep and noble buildings here. He said to Lieyan: "It's better to come early than to come by chance. Unexpectedly, we happened to encounter the Bartender Guild in trouble. It seems that this door-to-door challenge will not work.
Now. People are in crisis, so to challenge them at this time is to take advantage of them. Lie Yan, I have to take care of this matter. Although I don't think highly of the bartending ability of the Bartender Guild. But after all, we are of the same lineage.
.
My senior brother is the vice president of the Bartenders Guild. From any point of view, I have to get involved in this matter. If I can help the Bartenders Guild solve this matter, it will not be too late to challenge the Bacchus God Du Sikan.
."
Lie Yan smiled slightly and said, "You can make the decision. Should we go to the bartender club now?"
Ji shook his head and said: "There's no need to be in such a hurry. Let's find a place to stay first. You and Ah Jin have a rest, and I'll go to the Bartenders Guild to check it out myself. Ji Bin, the state official, said that the thief left a letter for Du Sikang.
Letter. I believe that this letter has a lot to do with the whole story. We must first figure out the situation."
The streets of Tianshui City were bustling with people, and there was no tension at all. Ji Dong found a very luxurious hotel to stay in. As before, he also asked for a husband's suite. Of course, as his trust in Ajin deepened,
, naturally it was the room where Lie Yan and Ah Jin lived, while Ji Dong practiced on the sofa outside.
After settling Lieyan and Ajin, Ji Dong immediately walked out of the hotel. In order to avoid misunderstandings, he did not ask about the location of the bartender club. Instead, he directly purchased a map of Tianshui City. After reading it carefully, he couldn't help but
I was speechless.
Is Tiangui City undefended? The bartender club is on the north side of Tianshui City, only three streets away from the Beishui Empire Palace. The thieves can be said to have looted at the gate of the Beishui Empire Palace.
The bartenders' association is attacking the Royal Palace. It's doubtful whether the Palace can stop it.
After all, Tianshui City is not as big as Zhongyuan City. It didn't take Ji Dong long to follow the map instructions to find the location of the bartender headquarters. From a distance, he had already seen the special building.
The Bartender Club is a very tall building in the shape of a wine bottle, which is taller than the surrounding buildings. If calculated by floors, it must have seven floors. This wine bottle-shaped building is thick at the bottom and thin at the top, and the whole body appears strange.
The amber color is unknown. I don’t know how it was achieved in this building. You can vaguely see water waves flowing inside this amber bottle-shaped building. It is very strange. It can be said that this bartender club itself is Tianshui City.
One of the landmark buildings.
There are no soldiers guarding this place. It has been ransacked, so what is the use of guards. The arched door is tightly closed, and you can vaguely feel that it is filled with a murderous atmosphere.
After Ji Dong thought for a moment, he walked to the door and knocked. Several times, there was movement inside.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man came out. He looked Ji Dong up and down, and said solemnly, "What's the matter?"
Ji Dong said: "This is the Bartenders Association. I want to come and take the bartender qualification assessment."
A trace of doubt flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, "The store is temporarily closed. It will not be open to the public in a short period of time. You go." After saying that, before Ji Dong could speak again, the door was closed with a bang.
If he hadn't known that something was wrong with the Bartenders Guild, Ji Dong would have directly set up a formation at the door to challenge him in this situation. But now that he was in trouble, he couldn't be too aggressive. With a thought in his mind, he had already thought of a way.
Well, if he directly intervened in the ransacking of the Bartenders Guild, I'm afraid he would have to rely on his identity when he entered the city.
Just as Ji Dong was about to leave and go to the Magician's Guild, suddenly, his keen sense of hearing caught a burst of noise coming from the bartender club.
The door that had just been closed opened with a bang, and an angry voice was heard inside: "Get out, get out. I don't have a son like you. From now on, you are not allowed to step into the door of the Bartenders Association."
Kick him out. Anyone who intercedes for him again will get out of the guild with him."
"Do you think I am willing to come back? You are too stubborn. If my mother and sister had not been kidnapped, I would not have come back. One day, I will replace your reputation as the God of Dionysus." Amidst the chaotic footsteps, a person
He walked out angrily from the bartenders guild, followed by several people.
Du Ming, don't be impulsive. The president is angry. You shouldn't contradict him!"
The person who came out first looked like he was twenty-three or four years old. He was slender and about the same height as Ji Dong. His handsome face was a little red because of anger, and he had short black hair. He was very handsome. Those who followed him were all
Several young men with at least six-star bartender badges were constantly persuading him.
"Everyone else will come. Tell him to get out of here." The angry voice from before came out again. The few people who came out waved helplessly to the young man, then turned back to the bartender club and closed the door again.
Door.
When he heard the sound coming from inside, Ji Dong stopped. The young man walked out of the guild and strode over, just in time to meet him face to face.
Seeing Ji Dong, the young man was stunned for a moment, and the angry look on his face subsided slightly, "Who are you?"
Ji Dong smiled slightly and said: Hello, I'm here to conduct the bartender assessment. But something seems to have happened to the guild, saying that the assessment has been suspended. What are you doing?"
The young man said angrily: "What kind of bartender qualifications do you rely on! Now the bartenders guild has changed its taste a long time ago. If you are not a magician with three crowns or above, you are not allowed to take the bartender exam with three stars or above. What is this?
The truth? Who stipulates that bartenders must be magicians? Is it really that good to use magic to assist bartenders? This completely violates the purity of bartenders. The guild is full of die-hards. One day, I want to
Rely on pure bartending skills to defeat these bartending methods that only use magic power. I advise you not to take the exam. It is completely meaningless. If you are a magician, go to the magician guild. If you are not a magician, let alone
There is no point in taking the bartender qualification exam."
Listening to this young man's words, Ji Dong couldn't help but be a little surprised. After coming to this world, he also met some bartenders. This was the first time he heard someone say that bartending should be done with pure techniques instead of using magic. And
Judging from the previous conversations, this young man has an unusual relationship with Du Sikan, the president of the Bartenders Guild and the god of wine. This young man seems a bit interesting.
"You are right. Technique is the foundation of bartending, and it is the most important aspect of bartending ability. However, everything has its two sides. If one day, you can defeat them with pure bartending techniques,
Adding magic power to mix drinks under special circumstances may have a better effect. Different cocktails will have different needs when making them. Some are impossible to achieve with the help of magic power, and some cannot be completely achieved through pure techniques.
No method is absolute. Only by integrating each other can the bartending skills reach a deeper level. Perhaps these people in the Bartenders Guild are also working hard in this direction?"
After listening to Ji Dong's words, the young man's angry expression gradually disappeared, and he said in surprise: "It sounds like you have a deep knowledge of bartending! You can't take the test anyway. You are the first person to praise me."
.Come on, I’ll treat you to tea and we’ll have a chat.”
Ji Dong smiled and nodded. This young man must know much better than the four-crown magician at the city gate. It seems that the magician's guild itself will not need to go for the time being.
"My name is Du Ming. I haven't asked you yet. What's your surname?"
"Ji Dong."
Du Ming looked Ji Dong up and down and said, "Ji's surname is the national surname of the Middle-earth Empire. Are you from the Middle-earth Empire?"
Ji shook his head and said: "You can say that, but it's not entirely correct. I come from the Southern Fire Empire. However, my father is indeed from the Middle Earth Empire."
Du Ming said: "Let's find a place to sit down and talk. These days, I'm really depressed to death." He was obviously very familiar with Tianshui City. He took Ji Dong around three times and came to an elegant and elegant restaurant.
In the teahouse, I went directly to the second floor and found a seat by the window and sat down.
"Brother, you are not older than me?" Du Ming asked Ji Dong after ordering a pot of tea.
Ji Dong said: "I am twenty this year. What about you?"
Du Ming said: "I am twenty-five years old, but I am five years older than you. You have the courage to go to the Bartender Guild to take the bartender exam when you are only twenty years old. Are you from family background or are you self-taught?"
Ji Dong smiled slightly and said: "He is self-taught." Whether in his past life or in this life, he learned and researched all his bartending skills by himself.
Du Ming chuckled and said: "If you really want to become a bartender, I can give you some advice in the future. I know a lot of people in Tianshui City. As long as you have some skills, I recommend
There is no problem if you work on some high-end wines.”
Ji Dong laughed and said: "That's great! I'll ask you for more advice later." If Lie Yan were here, he would definitely laugh. This young man named Du Ming actually wanted to give Ji Dong tips on how to mix drinks. Even Du Sikan would definitely not
He didn't have this ability. But Jidong could see that Du Ming's Qingnian personality was bold and straightforward, coupled with his thoughts on bartending skills, which made Jidong very fond of him.
At the same time, Ji Dong also noticed Du Ming's hands. The palms were white and slender. They obviously paid great attention to maintenance, especially the fingers and wrists. They were indeed the most suitable hands for bartending. They had obviously been trained.
Hard work.
Du Ming said: "The Bartenders Guild has branches in some big cities. Why did you go all the way from the Southern Fire Empire to the Northern Water Empire? It's not a short journey! You don't look like an ordinary person.
He should also be a magician."
Although Ji Dong's appearance is not very handsome, his temperament is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. Although Du Ming is in a bad mood, he can still tell.
Ji Dong said: "I am a fire magician. What about you? Renshui type?"
Du Ming said: "Of course. Our magicians in the Northern Water Empire are mainly of the water type. I am not a sissy, so naturally I am of the Renshui type. I just heard you say that I can do this with my bartending skills under a mosquito."
Under what circumstances is there something that magic cocktail making can’t do?”
Looking at the burning light in his eyes, Ji Dong was slightly startled, because he seemed to see himself in his previous life in this young man. Wasn't he like him in his previous life when he was in his twenties? He was so good at bartending.
His love for the bartenders' guild had just happened, so he could put it aside temporarily and ask himself about bartending first. This persistence could not help but make Ji Dong's affection for him increase even more.
"A good bartender must first have a good understanding of all kinds of wine. The same wine, with different origins and different degrees, will have ever-changing tastes. When making cocktails, the effect will be achieved by blending them with the ingredients.
It's completely different. What magic can do is to add magical properties to cocktails, or use magic elements to affect the taste of cocktails, and make cocktails more beautiful when making them. It is even through magic that the cocktail is produced.
Qualitative change. However, if it is just like this, it cannot truly show the various changes in wine. It can only use a fixed model to prepare a fixed wine."
When it comes to bartending, Ji Dong doesn't need to think at all and talks eloquently, "Just give me a simple example. If I make a cocktail, then I can definitely do it. I can use the same materials and different techniques to make a hundred cocktails."
It has more than 100 flavors. This is something that magic cocktails can never achieve."
Du Ming was shocked, what did you say? Using the same materials, but using different techniques, you can create a hundred flavors. Brother, that's not how you brag." He was obviously doubtful about Ji Dong's statement.
