Chapter 8: Bartender Mudley

Chu Long took the information in his hand and read it carefully. Looking at the information in front of him, Chu Long remembered that his mother had told him that in addition to gold, there were many jewelry, bronzes, and porcelain in this batch of treasures.

What is produced in China is probably due to trade exchanges between the two countries, while there are very few products produced in South Korea.

Looking at the data, gold is hard currency and can be easily sold in any era. The gold was acquired by the bank itself. Now only the jewelry and other items are left to be auctioned, and the jewelry and other items have also been contacted for auction.

OK.

The price of the gold bars purchased by the bank is the same as the market price. Chu Long once inquired about a 100-gram gold bar that is worth 44.6 pounds in the London market, but the black market price is 0.4 pounds more than this, which is 45 pounds.

The weight of my gold bar is 128 grams, and the bank gave me 57.1 pounds. If it were on the black market, it would be 57.5 pounds. But the black market sells gold, and there is no recommendation from an acquaintance. It is not safe at all, and there is a high possibility of losing both life and property.

, and banks provide more insurance.

The data showed a total of 100 gold bars, and the bank finally gave 5,710 pounds. Chu Long's parents withdrew 200 pounds in advance and bought a lot of daily necessities and food in Dover, preparing for a long salvage operation at sea.

Now there is 5,510 pounds left in the bank.

Next, Chu Long asked about the situation after the auction of jewelry and other items, such as the fees charged by banks and auction houses. The service staff of the bank told Chu Long that the bank and the auction house were in a cooperative relationship, so the bank did not charge extra fees.

The auction house takes 1% of the auction price as a fee.

After Chu Long found out the information he wanted to know, he left the bank and returned to the hotel. He was doing the same job every day and walking in the same town he walked through every night.

"This damn weather makes people feel depressed!" Brooke stood in the backyard of the hotel in the early morning, looking at the gloomy sky, and said irritably.

The gloomy weather seemed to cast a shadow on the flowers planted in the garden, which made Brooke, who was standing in the yard preparing to go to the winery, feel quite heavy.

"Brooke, are you going to the wine warehouse?" A voice sounded from behind Brooke.

Brooke turned around and looked, and it turned out to be Chu Long. Maybe it was due to the influence of the weather. Brooke looked at Chu Long and asked listlessly: "Is something wrong?"

"Oh, I wanted to ask you, do you still have the Cognac brandy in the wine warehouse?" Chu Long looked at Brooke and asked.

"There is another bucket, the new one will arrive tomorrow." Brooke said without thinking.

"In a moment, my name is Baker, and that boy will come and get it." Chu Long said casually.

"Okay!" Brooke nodded and turned around to head to the wine warehouse.

"But by the way, what's wrong with you today? You're a little dull!" Chu Long asked as he looked at Brooke who was about to leave.

"I don't know! I felt a little depressed when I woke up this morning. When I came out and saw the damn weather, I felt like my whole body was not good." Brooke looked at the gloomy sky again and said to Chu Long.

"Come here in a moment and I'll make you a cup of 'Dream Heart' and just relax." Chu Long said.

"Okay." Brooke nodded, turned around and walked towards the wine warehouse.

After Chu Long saw Brooke leaving, he came to the bar alone. There was no one in the bar at this time. Chu Long saw the only female bartender in the bar, Mu Deli. Baker, who was practicing making cocktails. Mu Deli

She came from Leeds, West Yorkshire, half a month ago. It is said that she was admitted to the Regent Street Polytechnic in London. She came two months earlier than the time to register at the college and studied at Dover Primary School in the suburbs of London.

I settled in the town. The air in the town near the sea is not as stuffy as in the city. After living in "Locke", I wanted to earn some tuition, so I asked the boss, Mr. Selt, if there was any suitable job I could do. Selt

Her husband recommended her to work in the kitchen, washing dishes, etc. Finally, she decided to learn how to make cocktails and become a bartender's assistant. She had no time to practice on her own.

"Master Chu, you came so early!" Chu Long walked into the bar. Mu Deli had just finished mixing a glass of wine and saw Chu Long and asked.

"I'm here to check on the lack of wine in the bar so that I can tell Brooke and ask him to prepare it."

"Also! I've told you many times, don't call me Master Chu. The homophone sounds like something big has happened." Chu Long looked at Mu Deli speechlessly and said.

"Oh." Mu Deli nodded, and then began to concentrate on making cocktails.

Chu Long looked at her and had nothing to say. Mr. Selter arranged for Mu Deli to learn cocktail making as a little assistant, and the person who led her was Chu Long. Chu Long showed his proficiency in front of her.

After that, Mu Deli started calling herself Master Chu. She told her many times not to call her Master. She was not a master either, she just knew more about bartending.

Chu Long walked behind the bar and looked at the 'Burning Beach' prepared by Mu Deli. He picked it up and smelled it. After tasting it again, he looked at Mu Deli and said, "This 'Burning Beach' is a

A cocktail suitable for women, the content of vodka is very small, so it is not suitable for men to drink, but it is just suitable for women. The addition of orange juice makes it sour and sweet, and tastes better."

"In the cup of 'Burning Beach' you made, you put too much orange juice, at least 60 ml, and too much cranberry juice. The sourness is much stronger and overwhelms the taste of the vodka itself."

"You still need to practice more!" Chu Long said, took the shaker, poured 30 ml of vodka into it, and then added peach liqueur, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice.

Chu Long took a glass from the corner of the bar, put a few ice cubes in it, poured the mixed wine into the glass, handed it to Mu Deli, looked at her and said, "Try it.

."

Looking at the orange-yellow cocktail, Mu Deli felt that it was almost the same as hers. After taking a sip, her eyes lit up and she said: "It's slightly spicy, sweet and sour, and the taste is slightly sweeter than 'Burning Beach'"

."

"What kind of wine is this? Master Chu," Mu Deli asked.

Chu Long looked at Mu Deli with playful eyes, then looked at the accessories on the table, and smiled.

Mu Deli looked at Chu Long and looked at herself and the accessories on the table with a smile. She suddenly understood and said, "Is this the 'Burning Beach'?"

"Yes, it's another version of 'Burning Beach'. It was a suggestion made by a French lady last time. She said that pineapple juice can balance the sweet and sour taste, and cranberry juice can also replace cranberry juice. I listened.

Later, I tried changing it and it tasted pretty good." Chu Long shook a glass for himself and took a sip before saying.

Mu Deli practiced the bartending method taught by Chu Long. Chu Long looked at the empty bar, feeling bored, and told Mu Deli that if Brooke came, just wait for him. After that, he left.

bar and walked to the restaurant for breakfast.
