Ah Fa shrugged his shoulders: "Just think of it as understanding what it's called, Five Yellows Chongsha, go to work. Come and help me... Hey." At this point, Ah Fa patted his head and said with a smile, "I haven't asked you yet.
What’s your name?”
"...My name is Jiang Yan." Anyway, this is regarded as a "code name" in Heigang's registration. Jiang Yan did not intend to use a pseudonym from the beginning.
"Well, Jiang Yan, we don't need security here, but you can make an exception and hire one."
"Uh, Brother Fa, you can't just see one side of me. I actually want to be a bartender." Ah Fa slapped his head: "Oh, that's right. You just said you knew how to bartend wine. You mix it."
Is drinking as good as your fight?”
What good things should be said about Fa Ge? To praise him, one should say that he has a keen eye for people and good steel is used on the blade; to criticize him, one should say that his thinking is too straight: a bartender who can fight sounds obviously better than a bartender who can mix things up.
The security guard at the hotel is more upscale and handsome.
"I know a little bit." Jiang Yan found a place to throw away his slippers and came to the back of the bar. "Let me see: rum, vodka, whiskey, and some accessories..." He turned to look at Ah Fa: "Okay.
, almost. Brother Fa, what do you want to drink?"
"Then I want a hard cup, a short drink, I don't care about the type." Ah Fa saw that Jiang Yan really wanted to show off his skills, so he sat down by the table with interest. "I want a cup with the same size - it hurts!" Short-haired
As soon as he opened his mouth, Ah Fa hit him on the back of the head: "You are not old yet, sit still for me!"
Jiang Yan picked out a classical thick-bottomed cup and a Mason cup, found enough ingredients and started mixing, and then, after a while.
Jiang Yan pushed the classical cup with a coaster in front of Ah Fa: "Maitai, please use it." He then took out the filled Mason cup from behind the stage, inserted the straw, held the handle and raised it in front of the short hair:
"Mojito, please."
Before Ah Fa could react, the short-haired man quickly raised his big cup and took a sip. He closed his eyes and thought about it for a long time, then smacked it and said, "It seems to be no different from soda."
Afa looked at Jiang Yan, and when Jiang Yan responded in a blink of an eye, he felt relieved and said to the short-haired man: "Li short-haired man, when you taste it, go back and write a review! Do you hear me?" The short-haired man shrugged.
Finished the drink in the cup and left the bar obediently.
The sound of the store door closing was heard. Jiang Yan put the cup away, put it in the sink, and asked Ah Fa: "He can't drink yet? I thought he was twenty years old... Why is he called Li Short?" "Who knows?"
Well, the name given to him by his father—maybe it’s because he has a cheap name so he can make a living.” Afa raised the cup in front of him, took a sip, and his eyes lit up: “—The craftsmanship is pretty good. Have you learned it?”
Jiang Yan smiled and replied: "It's just a hobby." As he said this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Black Steel International's operator training can be described as comprehensive, even a little diverse. When they completed basic training, strengthened training and field training and returned to the base in City A, Connor called everyone together and said:
"Now let's learn how to make a living."
Then came a month of skills training, which Connor euphemistically called: disguise training. They used the method of teaching trainees other professional skills to bring this group of warriors who had been tempered in the flames of war back to the civilized world.
Whether this method will help this group of preparatory operators learn to hide themselves in a complex urban environment is not yet known, but it does comfort this group of young people from all over the world who are not used to killing.
Under the premise of having a clear position, they gave full play to their strengths and promoted and improved themselves in their studies: Nate's career choice was to specialize in saxophone performance, possibly because he planned to specialize in street performance; Jessica used her own skills
Learned painting (mainly by cheating, although she was very reluctant, but the tearful cat Maotou still worked hard to complete the goal); Hank learned to play DJ with great interest; Ai Ruo's professional skills were already enough for the market, but he still responded
Hank learned to play drums when he asked to form a band. Jiang Yan learned to bartend. In Connor's words, there is no piano everywhere, and they may not hire you.
As for Ai'er, her career positioning is Jiang Gaoti's opinion.
"Since Aier can play the erhu and is young and beautiful, I think the image of a blind artist should suit her very well: she can be sympathetic and topical, and she can ensure survival while also taking into account intelligence collection."
It is said that all the top management of Black Steel applauded this idea, and regardless of Aier's opinion, the proposal was forcibly passed. So Aier learned how to pretend to be blind for a whole month, and scolded Jiang for MMP for a whole month.
"The drink I gave Ah Duan just now..."
"There's no alcohol in it, it's just soda water."
"That's good." Ah Fa put down his wine glass, stared at Jiang Shao and asked, "Since you really know how to mix drinks, don't you think there's anything wrong with the stuff in this shop?"
"To be honest, there are not enough things." Jiang Yan looked at the materials he had just used and did not continue.
As a bar, many different types of wine glasses are prepared at the same time, which proves that this place does provide drinks. However, when Jiang Yan was counting the materials just now, he discovered a big problem: there are too few things.
If there is a shortage of fruits and the like because the goods have not arrived, it is still acceptable. However, even if there are not many ice cubes left, it is worth pondering, not to mention that as a place that provides mixed drinks, there are only three base liquors -
-This is not normal.
Moreover, he found a lot of oriental wines among the numerous but monotonous wine bottles: these things are not suitable for Western bartending culture.
Ah Fa raised the cup and continued to ask: "Don't you ask why?" Jiang Yan looked away and came to the sink to start handling the cup that Li Chang had just used to drink.
If Ah Fa didn't ask, Jiang Yan would just pretend to be crazy and brush it off. But since Ah Fa said so, it must be because there is indeed some "why" in it.
There are only three base liquors in the store: rum, vodka, and whiskey. Except for mixing, these three liquors are drunk neat in most places. Think about the obviously abnormal auxiliary ingredients, Ah Fa's "three masters of water"
"identity of--
This shop does not intend to mix drinks at all, but wants to pretend to be a normal bar that provides mixed drinks. As for why it is disguised, it is naturally because it is necessary to disguise, but that is not the question Jiang Shao should ask.
Cleaning a cup did not delay much time. Jiang Yan had to raise his head to face Ah Fa. He pretended to be calm and said: "Why?"
Afa stared at him for a long time, until the orange drink in his cup bottomed out, then he put down the cup: "——You are a smart man."
Jiang Yan smiled and said nothing.
Fortunately, I don't sweat on my head.
"When you become a bartender, you can change your clothes - the changing room is over there. The clothes are all unworn. You can choose them by yourself." Afa stood up and moved the empty cup to Jiang Yan: "The price list is in the drawer.
, if anyone comes to see me, I’ll be upstairs. I’ll look after the shop by myself and get off work at four o’clock.”
——————————
As a result, Jiang Yan stayed behind the counter all night and no customers came.
In the early morning, Jiang Yan squatted under a street lamp, waiting boredly for the sunrise: Morning tea in Longmen can be had at around five o'clock in the morning, and it was almost the same time to pack up after work. Jiang Yan settled his salary and received
He took the morning tea money given by Brother Fa and left the bar.
It wasn't until he left the bar that he remembered that this bar didn't even have a sign. He just followed the instructions given by Lao Wang: when he came to this road, there was the only shop that looked like a bar. It didn't sound easy to call it without a name, so Jiang Yan thought he might as well call it it.
Wuming Bar.
It wasn't until he was about to find a place to eat that he realized that he was not familiar with the place. The terrain of Longmen slum was so complex that he couldn't even find a convenience store, let alone a morning tea shop.
Jiang Yan had no place to go: the safe house at Lao Wang's place could not accommodate him according to the requirements. Even if he begged, it might be possible, but Jiang Yan didn't want to cause him any trouble. He couldn't find a place to live without his identity, so he was wandering around.
After half a day, I had to find a place with lights to rest for a while.
Waiting for the sunrise? Oh, the buildings are so high, how can you see the sea?
It was not until the sky was already dark that Jiang Yan knew that the sun had risen. At this moment, he heard a sound of footsteps coming towards this direction.
PS: I found that some friends didn't quite understand the "Five Yellows Combat Evil" last time. Well, I don't know Feng Shui. For a professional explanation, you can only search it on Baidu.

Mai Tai, the name is very Thai but it is actually a product from the Caribbean. The ingredients are mainly orange juice and some lemon juice. Decorated with mint and pineapple, it is a tropical-style hard drink (that is, alcoholic. The content of this wine is already
More than 50%). It appeared in Elvis Presley's movie "Blue Hawaii" and became popular.
Mojito, a large drink based on lemon and mint, soda water and a small amount of rum, so it is a long drink (300/5). It is barely a standard soft drink (requires no alcohol or 1% alcohol)
