Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 98 Whiskey not for retail sale

Accompanied by everyone, strolling on the streets of Atlanta.I accompanied them into several shops with recruitment notices, and after a brief consultation, night was about to fall.

"Hey, do you want to go to the nightclub tonight? Back at the hotel so early, there's nothing to do."

At the dinner table, a boy put down the knife and fork in his hand and suggested with some excitement.Children from small cities who come to Atlanta, one of the few megacities in the United States, are not much different from rural people who come to cities.Naturally, I don't want to waste my rare urban time in a boring hotel room.

If anything, they'd adjust to life in Atlanta a little quicker.For young people, the alcohol and hormones in nightclubs are their pursuit.

What's more, there is a female companion right now.After playing around, there is something beyond friendship, which is simply too normal and ordinary in America these days.

Li Kelisi and the others don't count on her anymore. From the way she has behaved this day, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this girl is eyeing Carter.But there is no Liklis, isn't there Beatrice, Alice, kelp shreds and radish beside it?
Girls who can enter the cheerleading team these days, let alone their appearance, at least their figure must pass the test!After all, the muscular people of the school team don't want a group of "soil fat round" to show their heads and pose during the intermission, right?That was too embarrassing.
"Nightclub? Can I buy alcohol?"

Carter was a little stunned when he heard the words. Didn't it mean that drinking alcohol is prohibited in the United States under the age of 21?Do I need to check the ID to buy wine?
I have drank alcohol before, but once in a Sichuan restaurant, it was brewed by the owner himself, and it was not registered with the Bureau of Tobacco, Alcohol and Explosives, and generally no one came to check this.And the other time, it was in Trifali's repair shop, but he didn't buy the wine himself, did he?

So when he heard this boy excitedly suggest going to a nightclub, Carter was subconsciously taken aback.Could it be that today I can see the operation of American teenagers stealing ID to buy alcohol?
"Yes, why not? There is no Prohibition now. This is not the [-]s and [-]s. What do you think, do you want to go?"

After replying to Carter with a little surprise, the boy looked straight at Carter.As long as Carter nods, Licoris will definitely keep up. With these two centers of influence gone, it is impossible for the rest of the people to have objections.

"Well, I have no problem. Find a quieter place, disco or something, it's too noisy!"

Carter, who liked to go to folk taverns in his previous life, didn't object. Just like what he said just now, when he returned to the hotel early, he just sat there bored. The motels of this year are still such ordinary motel rooms. TV will be provided for you.

Instead of watching TV, watch Likrish?Huh. It seems that it is not impossible, huh?

"Okay, then let's check out and go!"

Just thinking about Likris, the girl spoke up.Everything was as expected by the boy, and Licoris would not object to Carter's opinion at all.
This dog licking style, seeing the two boys excited to go to the nightclub, can't help but think of the days when they used to lick Li Ke Lisi, and a little resentment suddenly added to their hearts.
About half an hour later, when Carter and his party arrived at a slow shake bar, night had already enveloped the land.The bar street in Atlanta at night is very similar to Hengshan Road in Shanghai, Taikoo Cang in Guangzhou, or the Old Bund in Ningbo that Carter visited in his previous life.

On both sides of the narrow street, neon signs lit up one by one.In front of some stores, small outdoor spaces are surrounded by iron pipes or wood.

Even though it was not yet seven o'clock, the number of people on the street had already started to increase, and these people had a common characteristic, they were all young people. Moreover, many of them had tattoos.

"Carter, what would you like? And the girls, how about you?"

Looking at the crowd around him, Carter followed them into one of the bars.While he was looking around at the decoration and layout of this tavern, and comparing it with the folk taverns of later generations in his mind, the boys in front of him suddenly asked questions.

"A glass of whiskey, thank you."

After thanking him casually, Carter turned his gaze to the wine cabinet behind the bartender at the bar.In his previous life, Carter drank whiskey, more Solvay and Riviera, but less, or even almost none, produced in the United States.In my impression, there seems to be only one wine called "Jack Daniels", and by coincidence, he found traces of Jack Daniels on the wine cabinet at this time.

But I don't know if it was good luck or bad luck. Carter's glass of wine was not poured out of the "Jack Daniels" bottle. It was forced to let Carter experience a wave of authentic American whiskey.

But bad luck is also because of this.Whiskey produced in the United States is mainly made of corn, such as the famous bourbon whiskey. According to the regulations of the American Liquor Law, the proportion of corn in the raw material must account for more than 51% before it is allowed to be called bourbon.

This felt extremely awkward to Carter, who was used to drinking whiskey made from barley.The first experience of the tavern in the late [-]s in the United States did not start well
"Carter, what's wrong with you? Are you not used to drinking it? Why don't you try my cocktail, it's not high."

Li Kelisi, who had been focusing on Carter, saw Carter's suddenly weird and twisted face, and immediately had a plan.He picked up the wine glass in front of him, leaned against Carter, and gently raised the wine glass to the position between the two of them.

If Carter agrees, then if he wants to grab the straw, he must lean his body to his side.Then.
"Thank you, but I'm not used to drinking bourbon."

Carter, a veteran whiskey lover who had spent several years in a folk tavern in his previous life, was thinking about the wine. He couldn't care less about Li Ke Lisi's style, so he raised his hand straightly and called the waiter.

"gentlemen?"

"Do you have Scotch whiskey? Or barley, I'm not used to it."

"I'm sorry, sir. There is whiskey from Scotland, but the price is relatively high, and it is no longer retail. If you want a whole bottle, you can. Single glass retail, only rye brewing, is this okay?" "

The waiter bowed slightly, apologetically.

Scotch Whiskey out of retail? !And according to what the waiter said, it turned out that they were retailing, but only now began to cancel the retailing.

After hearing this, Carter frowned subconsciously.After directly asking for a bottle of Solvay, and sending the waiter away to go to the warehouse to get the wine, Carter thought secretly.

In pubs some drinks are not sold by the glass and this is normal.In his previous life, Carter also visited many taverns, like Glenfiddich, Chivas Regal, etc., they were all casually dismantled and retailed.Only some whiskeys with higher value, such as Hibiki 17 and Hakushu, will not be opened at will.

Either meet a big customer like Carter and take a bottle at a time, or keep it and organize some activities such as "wine tasting".Before the event, the number of people who are willing to try the wine is collected in advance, and then the whole bottle of wine will be charged in advance before it will be opened, and the wine will be equally distributed to every customer participating in the event.To put it bluntly, it is crowdfunding to buy wine.
But those are relatively high-value wines, that's why they did this!Ordinary whiskey can't reach that level, or in Atlanta, is a bottle of ordinary Scotch whiskey already a relatively high burden for people?

Thinking about the premium price of drinks sold in the tavern, and looking at the bustling young men and women around, Carter touched his chin, and two words popped out of his mind:
Salary cut!
