"It's very simple. Just make me a drink in person. Come into the store. There is a bar in the store." After saying that, I led Li Fansen to the bar.
After Li Fansen entered the horror bookstore, his face was frightened. His body, which had previously been shaking due to cowardice, was shaking even more violently. It was probably because of the wooden platform and red leather lanterns that the decorations had caused an indescribable mental impact on him.
He couldn't understand why someone would open a bookstore like this and not be afraid of scaring customers?
In fact, not only he didn't understand, but I, the bookstore owner in name, didn't understand how there could be such a horrible bookstore in the world. Isn't this making people miserable?
Yes, although according to the management rules, I am the tenth bookstore manager of the Horror Bookstore, but in the absence of the real owner, I am the bookstore owner in the eyes of others, which is a blessing among misfortunes.
Although Li Fansen was very afraid of the bookstore in front of him, he had no choice but to cross the bar and come to the antique wine cabinet due to his livelihood.
This antique wine cabinet was completely blood red, as if it was made of blood, which frightened Li Fansen.
However, seeing the dazzling array of wine in the antique wine cabinet, Li Fansen forgot his fear for a moment and showed an ecstatic expression: "Boss, you have so many wines here. Not only do you have champagne, rum and other famous foreign wines, but we also have our southern wines."
Guizhou Moutai.”
Facing all kinds of wines in the wine cabinet, Li Fansen looked like he knew everything about them, and seemed to really know the wines.
I was stunned. How could an 18-year-old boy who hadn't even fully grown his hair know so much about wine?
It’s not strange to know some famous wines. After all, famous wines are very well-known. Maybe he has seen them on TV, but for some unknown wines from small families, Li Fansen also talked about them very clearly.
"You won't meet a Bacchus, right? An eighteen-year-old Bacchus? It's so ridiculous. Times have changed." However, it is ridiculous. I feel more and more that Li Fansen is not simple. If he is really a poor man,
Young man, why do you know so much about wine? This man must have some ulterior secrets.
But after endless meditation, I couldn't guess Li Fansen's secret, so I had to watch Li Fansen's bartending operations carefully: "Forget it, everyone has their secrets, maybe this is not an area I can casually enter, as long as it is useful to me
, I should trust him."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Li Fansen picked up the bright goblet, I felt that his temperament suddenly changed from cowardice to confidence.
It seemed that the slovenly young man in front of him was born to be a qualified bartender.
Looking at the goblet in front of him, Li Fansen shook his long bangs, revealing his focused eyes.
They were a pair of delicate eyes. Although they were a little tired, a trace of confidence flashed in the round eyes, which was the confidence in bartending.
He first placed the goblet flat on the bar, and then took out a bottle of unknown Xiaojia wine from the antique wine cabinet.
This bottle of Xiaojia's wine is a liquor unique to Xicheng. The alcohol content is so high that I usually don't even dare to take a sip.
"Using baijiu as the base liquor? Isn't it too strong?" The base liquors used to make cocktails are mostly Western liquors such as rum, whiskey and vodka. Chinese baijiu is rarely used because it is too overbearing and difficult to mix with.
Neutralized by other drinks, I couldn't figure out why the young man in front of me went in the opposite direction: "Is this Li Fansen arrogant, or is he really capable? Let's wait and see."
Then, Li Fansen measured 30 ml of liquor in an ounce cup.
The so-called ounce cup, also known as the measuring cup, is a miniature
The bar has everything you need, not only ounce glasses, but also bartending tools such as shakers.
After measuring the liquor in an ounce cup, Li Fansen stopped moving, looked at me and asked, "Are there any ice cubes here? I can't find them."
"There is an ice machine there, and there should be ice cubes in the ice machine." I answered, pointing to the inside of the milk tea operating table.
There are several machines lying quietly there, one of which is an ice machine used for making ice.
The bar counter and the milk tea counter are closely connected, that is to say, from the inside of the bar, you can go directly to the inside of the milk tea counter.
After picking up one or two pieces of solid ice with an ice tong, Li Fansen returned to the mini bar and put the ice cubes into the goblet.
After that, Li Fansen poured the liquor measured in the ounce cup into the shaker glass.
After doing all this, Li Fansen measured out 10 ml of grape wine, 10 ml of vodka and 15 ml of coconut water.
Of course, the above three auxiliary ingredients were also poured into the shaking glass one after another.
With the auxiliary ingredients already prepared, Li Fansen went to the ice machine again, took two small ice cubes, and put them into the shaker glass.
At this moment, the small shaking glass not only contains white wine as the base wine, but also auxiliary ingredients such as ice cubes, grape wine, vodka and coconut milk.
As the slovenly Li Fansen carefully covered the shaker, he pressed the head of the shaker with his right thumb and held the shaker with the other fingers of his right hand.
The little finger of his left hand chose to hook the bottom of the wine shaker. As for the other fingers of his left hand, he evenly hugged the wine shaker like the other fingers of his right hand.
After confirming that the wine shaker was held firmly, he moved his hands and shook it up and down, causing the sound of dice rolling to resound in the horror bookstore.
While Li Fansen was shaking his wine, I suddenly noticed his arms.
His arms were covered with strips of scars, and these scars had not yet completely scabbed over, with some blood seeping from them, making the two arms stained with blood.
"These wounds look like whiplashes. Could it be that the boy in front of me was beaten severely? Who has such a bad heart?" I gradually fell into thought.
But I didn't think about it for long. A few minutes later, Li Fansen stopped shaking the wine and woke me up.
I followed my gaze towards Li Fansen. He first poured out the ice in the goblet, and then poured the wine from the shaker into the goblet.
Add an oval lemon slice and a red and white straw, and a delicious cocktail is ready.
"Boss, this is a cocktail specially prepared for you. The name is Red and White Tenderness." Li Fansen clasped his right hand behind his back and bent slightly, making a gesture of inviting a drink, like a humble European gentleman.
If he were wearing not a white T-shirt and jeans, but a elegant black suit, he would really be a European gentleman.
What a glass of red and white tenderness. It has the whiteness of coconut milk and the elegance of grape wine. The two are blended together to create a strong visual impact.
I picked up the tall bar and smelled it. The thick fragrance came to my nose and aroused my interest.
I took one sip and the fragrant and delicious mixed wine immediately lubricated my throat, giving me a warm and comfortable feeling.
"How do you get rid of the strong flavor of white wine? It's amazing. This glass of red and white tenderness retains the fragrance of white wine, but it's not as strong as white wine. It's very suitable for people like me.
A person who doesn't drink often." I just put down my goblet and couldn't help but ask.
"It's very simple. White wine is pure and strong, while red wine is mellow. When the two are combined, some of the strongness of the white wine can be neutralized. As for the remaining strongness, use sweet fruity flavors such as coconut milk to eliminate it." Seeing my face filled with satisfaction.
, Li Fansen explained happily.
"You are so awesome. You are fully qualified to be a bartender in a big bar. Do you really want to stay in a small shop like mine? You are burying your talent." I sighed sadly.
Li Fansen didn't understand the pity in his words, and exclaimed like a dance: "Boss, are you planning to invite me?"
"Of course I have to invite you. Your bartending skills are so good that I'm embarrassed to refuse you. Can you go to work directly today?" I said straight to the point when I met a good person.
"But my clothes are too sloppy, I think it will scare away many customers." Li Fansen, who was not bartending, suddenly returned to his cowardly and inferior expression.
"What's the point? No matter how sloppy you are, you can scare away as many customers as the bookstore itself. Besides, clothing is just a small issue. Just clean it up." I didn't care in my heart and continued: "I'll pay you in advance later.
With a salary of one thousand yuan, go and tidy up and buy a few sets of clean clothes."
Since we talked about salary, I asked casually: "What are your salary requirements? If you have any, you can tell me."
In fact, this is my first time recruiting employees, and I don’t know what salary is appropriate, so the salary is not mentioned in the recruitment notice.
"In terms of salary, one thousand a month? Or two thousand a month? Boss, you can decide for yourself. Xiao Sen really doesn't know how much salary he should receive." Li Fansen drooped his head, looking confused, which showed that he really didn't understand the art of salary.
Only then did I remember that the boy in front of me was still a child and he didn't understand the concept of money. I immediately replied: "One or two thousand a month is too little. Let's do this. I'll give you four thousand a month. Remember to work hard."
"Thank you boss, Xiao Sen will definitely work hard." Li Fansen was overjoyed and quickly thanked him. He originally thought he could only receive a salary of 2,000, but now his salary has increased several times out of thin air. Why is he not happy?
In fact, the salary of 4,000 per month is not very high, but it was a pleasant surprise for a young man who is new to the world. However, my money did not come from the strong wind, so I cannot waste it casually. After all, the bookstore still needs to recruit people for other positions, and then it will have to pay several dollars.
salary.
Yes, after my parents disappeared, the company they owned became my company. In addition, I suddenly became the landlord of Snake House and owned a nine-story house out of thin air. Logically speaking, I was not short of money. Even if I offered a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, I would not be short of money.
Can.
But I am a person who pays attention to following market rules. Since the average salary of a store clerk in Xicheng is 4,000, I should also follow this rule and give Li Fansen a salary of 4,000 at most, otherwise it would be too impetuous.
And as I said just now, my money is not blown by the strong wind. The company's funds are the flesh and blood of my parents. How can I use too much? As for the Shelou property, only Gu Ya rents it, but the monthly rent is 200 yuan.
How much money can you make?
I have thought about selling the floors above the Snake Building, but the Snake Building involves too many secrecy, and I am afraid that it will cause big trouble.
Moreover, the Horror Bookstore can probably be expanded. If it sells other floors without authorization, it may be in a cocoon.
More importantly, the female ghost in Room 504 has not been solved yet, so I don’t dare to sell the other floors of the Snake Building casually. If I sell the other floors of the Snake Building casually, wouldn’t this be harmful to others and myself?
I also thought about using the bookstore's turnover to increase Li Fansen's salary, but the bookstore has just opened and the turnover is still zero. It is not even enough to pay Li Fansen's basic salary. Where is the money to increase Li Fansen's salary?
