Badoya Bar is a bar, but it does not specialize in illegal business. Special products are just add-ons, just to attract more customers.
The bar culture of the British Empire has a long history. Bars offer everything from catering to entertainment. People have become accustomed to bars. Men, women, old and young, and people from all walks of life, with various moods, enter the bar to relax their souls. .
Time slowly entered the evening, and the sunset was scattered through the mist, showing psychedelic colors. The city of London gradually fell into a different kind of "quietness". Most people had spent a full day at work. The rest time has begun. Of course, there is no shortage of various leisure and entertainment venues suitable for evening under the night.
The weather in the Empire where the sun never sets is known for its changeable weather. Even so, the nights here are never deserted.
Chu Long, who was dressed in the latest black and gray casual clothes, entered the Badoya Bar. As soon as he entered the bar, a waiter greeted him with a smile on his face and led Chu Long to the central area of the bar that is open at night. There are basically booths in that area, far away from the drunkards in the outer hall who come to get drunk.
Even the bartenders are only responsible for entertaining customers in the VIP area. Of course, this does not mean that those at the bottom will not be entertained. As long as you can afford to pay, you can be treated like those nobles.
Although Chu Long has not been here a few times, the waiter here has a deep impression on him. The young man with short brown hair always orders cocktails in the bar every time he comes. The cocktails he orders are all those that have received rave reviews from customers. The average person doesn't even look at it, and always asks when the black market will open every time he comes. Unfortunately, he never comes across it several times.
"Sir, it's a coincidence that you're here. Passes are on sale tonight." A young man in a short dress came over and bowed to Chu Long gracefully.
Looking at the waiter in front of him, Chu Long knew that the waiter was a working college student. This bar safeguarded the rights and interests of employees and did not allow trouble, let alone make unreasonable demands to the waiter by borrowing alcohol.
Because of this, the bar has attracted many students who are short of money to work.
Chu Long's eyes lit up instantly, he looked at the waiter with a smile and said with a smile: "Ada, two cups of "Charge", one cup is for you."
"Thank you, sir, please wait a moment!"
The waiter whom Chu Long called Ada turned around and walked towards the bar, with a hint of joy on his face. A cup of "Charge" costs five pounds. If he doesn't drink it, the bar will reward him with half the value of the drink.
"Charge" is a cocktail with a strong taste. The first time you drink it, it has a strong and unforgettable feeling. It is the feeling of a man stepping onto the battlefield for the first time. The strong sense of charge makes people feel real. memorable.
It is said that "Charge" was invented by a certain British general, but I don't know who it was. After it was spread to the people, each bar added different auxiliary materials and had its own characteristics.
Soon, a glass of fine wine was delivered to Chu Long. He took the glass directly from Ada's hand. Chu Long took a sip, breathed out, and praised Ada who was standing in front of him: "It's really good! The feeling of charge is still so strong and delicious. No wonder your bar lists it on the recommendation list."
Badoya Bar is located at the door
A recommendation list. The recommendation list contains the top ten recommended wines every week. When customers come to the store for the first time, they will use the recommendation list to find the wine that suits them.
"Sir, sales will start in half an hour."
Ada stood next to Chu Long with a smile on her face and said.
Chu Long learned that the purchase of passes is not a well-known face-to-face transaction method. There are two mailboxes in front of the toilet door in the bar, one red and one blue. To outsiders, they are just two decorations.
Decor that embellishes the bar environment.
Only regular customers who frequent the bar and those who know the inside story know the true purpose of the two mailboxes.
Red represents danger, warning those who enter the black market with evil intentions, and also reminds people to stay sensible and not do things that harm others or themselves.
The red mailbox is used by people who buy passes. The decks are all numbered, and even the scattered seats outside are numbered. Just write the number on a note and put it in the mailbox; of course, there are some places that do not have numbers.
, just like the seats at the bar, it is impossible to number them, but you can write your initials and add the drink you drank today.
After you put the note in the mailbox, a waiter will charge you for the drink within half an hour. Even if you have no intention of leaving, as long as you want to buy a pass and put the note in the mailbox, you must pay for the drink. Of course, you will be charged an extra pound in the drink price.
, you also need to tip the waiter, the amount should not be less than 5 shillings.
After you pay the money, the waiter will give you a glass of ice water within ten minutes, followed by a black card. The ice water will be pressed on the card. That card is the pass.
Blue represents the ocean, just like the boundless ocean, from which people will "fish out" things that are useful to them.
The blue mailbox is used to buy information. People throw notes into the mailbox in the same way. The difference is that the waiter brings you wine instead of water. The wine will be the lowest-priced wine. You need to put it at this time
Just write down the tip and the cost of the drink along with the information you want on a note and give it to the waiter. The waiter will tell you in the same way within half an hour whether the information can be found and how much the information is worth.
Of course, the time required to investigate different information is also different. At this time, the bar will roughly estimate the required investigation time and tell the customer that if an investigation is needed, it must be calculated according to the time estimated by the bar, and a certain fee will be required.
The amount of the deposit will depend on the information you need.
If there is no need for investigation, the tip and wine fee will not be refunded to you. After all, the waiter does not serve you for free.
The mailbox has a special "status" in the bar, and there will be specialized personnel to secretly monitor it. However, it is inevitable that some people who are full will throw some pieces of paper into it randomly when they are not visible. Once such a person
If you are caught, you will be immediately blacklisted in the bar and banned from entering Badoya Bar from now on.
Every time Chu Long makes a cocktail at Badoya Bar, he has to order one, taste it slowly, and feel how each cocktail makes him feel. It’s not that the cocktails here are better than those made by Chu Long, it’s just that the same cocktails are used by different people.
There is something different and wonderful about making.
Cocktails here have not been developed for a long time. Chu Long was originally from a world where all industries had been developed into outer space. The technological power was far superior to that of this world for thousands of years. Even the bartending technology could not be compared here.
Chu Long's superb bartending skills are not due to his genius, but rather the experience summed up by bartenders in the past thousand years and learned through his own hobbies.
Bardoya Bar has a cocktail that is famous in London. Many aristocrats come to the bar early just to drink this cocktail. This cocktail is not comparable to those ordinary cocktails. It is rarer than a pass and can be prepared.
There is only one bartender, and no one else can learn from it. It is a kind of wine that is a treasure of the shop.
The name of this cocktail is "Dream Night", which is the name Chu Long saw on the huge glass bottle at the door.
The cocktail "Dream Night", when Chu Long came to the bar for the first time, wanted to taste what it tasted like, what kind of experience it was, and what kind of person could make a cocktail that was famous in London.
It's a pity that Chu Long never got a drink at the bar these few times, and the bartender never showed up.
Ada has only been in this bar for a short period of time, only half a year, but she has only seen the bartender twice in total. Of course, Ada does not come to the bar to work every day, but she has only seen the bartender twice.
The sommelier’s status is quite high!
According to Ada, this bartender always wears a mask every time he comes, and leaves immediately after mixing the "Dream Night". He never stays in the bar, and the bartending process is not allowed to be watched by outsiders. It is said that there were once rich and noble people.
I spent a lot of money to see it, but after watching it I couldn't remember anything. I only remembered that I had a good memory, and I was very happy, but I couldn't tell what kind of memory it was.
Just this attracted countless attention, and some good people called the bartender the "Dream Maker", which attracted many customers to the bar. The "Dream Night" prepared by this bartender every time
There is a limit of twenty drinks. It is not based on the order of first-come-first-served. Whoever orders first will get it. It must be based on the bartender's own requirements. The "Dream Night" will be bid in an auction, and the one with the highest price will get it.
“There are a lot of people today!”
Chu Long suddenly said such a sentence, which confused Ada beside him. Fortunately, Ada reacted quickly and said: "Sir, there are so many people today because of the pass. Today's pass is a stamp.
This is the first commemorative pass."
"A commemorative pass?" Chu Long's entire face was filled with confusion.
There is a commemorative version of a one-time pass like a pass. What kind of fun are these people in the black market doing!
It’s not like you’re bored!
Chu Long muttered deep in his heart.
"Yes, sir, no one knows why commemorative passes are being issued, but the price of the pass has become three pounds."
Ada looked at Chu Long and said.
"What? Three pounds!"
"Is this a money grab?" Chu Long exclaimed.
Ada looked at Chu Long's shocked face and shrugged slightly. Chu Long was not the first person to be surprised tonight. Almost everyone who was going to the black market was surprised. The price of the pass suddenly
It has tripled in price, which would surprise anyone.
"I heard this sentence so much tonight that my ears were numb." Ada said helplessly as she looked at Chu Long sitting in front of her.
Just when Chu Long was about to say something, a brown-haired man not far away shouted loudly: "How can you do this?"
