Leader of the Ark Raiders

"How?" Platinum asked.

Little stars twinkled in her eyes, eagerly waiting for his reply.

"It's delicious." Shen Cangye said.

Then it was no surprise to see Miss Assassin's crooked smile.

Shen Cangye took another sip.

The rich taste spreads out layer by layer on the tongue.

Perhaps this is the true meaning of cocktails.

He thought that Platinum just showed contempt for those female bartenders in the bar who deliberately used their figures to attract attention.

Although there is a certain element of jealousy in it.

But he has to admit that Xiaotianma's bartending skills do have the capital to be superior to others.

"Isn't it much better than the one you drank in the bar?" Platinum asked.

She moved closer, her face proudly waiting for praise.

"Of course, what you made is the best cocktail I've ever had." Shen Cangye smiled and rubbed Little Tianma's ears.

Platinum fluttered his ears quite proudly, and squinted his eyes as if enjoying a caress.

"What kind of wine is this?" Shen Cangye asked, "I don't think I've ever seen a cocktail that uses green tea as an ingredient."

"It's not in the classic wine list." Bai Jin smiled slightly, "Considering that you are from the country of Yan, you may prefer the taste of tea, so I added some personal changes to the classic brewing method of gin. Sommelier Platinum - an exclusive blend."

She said, blinking her left eye playfully.

Shen Cangye drank the last sip, "It tastes so good, it would be a pity not to give it a name."

"A name?" Platinum nodded her temples, "Then it should be called 'My villain is a playboy'."

Shen Cangye raised his forehead, "Can you respect the fruits of your labor and give such a cheap name to such a delicious wine?"

"One, two, three, four, you said it was delicious four times." Platinum laughed and snapped his fingers.

Pegasus is thrilled by his compliment, as can be seen from her pricking ears and tail wagging from side to side.

She smiled and approached his face, "Do you still want to drink?"

Shen Cangye nodded.

Then, he remembered something again, "Speaking of which, isn't there that fancy, acrobatic bartending movement?"

"To ask for so much." Platinum flicked his forehead.

513. Your Exclusive Bartender

Platinum took out a few more bottles of wine.

I still add ice cubes to the wine glass, and then stir to create a light mist.

Then she cut open another lemon and squeezed out the juice.

After making all the preparations, Platinum started bartending.

This time, her actions were more like performing than the bartending just now.

Several bottles of wine were switched in the girl's hands like a cloud and flowing water.

The thrown wine draws a graceful arc in the air, and is firmly caught by the shaker cup.

The snow cup was tightly covered, thrown up, turned around and then picked up again...

The boring action of shaking wine is replaced by the dazzling mid-air spin.

At last.

A glass of translucent cocktail, dotted with spiral cut lemon peel, was pushed in front of Shen Cangye.

Platinum put away the bottle and said: "Fancy bartending is different from ordinary bartending, and it pays more attention to performance, so measuring cups are rarely used. The proportion of various wines depends on the bartender's touch, so The taste will be slightly lacking.”

Shen Cangye picked up the wine glass.

As soon as the wine enters the mouth, it explodes with a strong aroma.

He saw that the base wine of Platinum was still gin.

This is a relatively strong wine.

However, all the irritating alcoholic sensations are suppressed by other accessories, leaving only the endless bouquet.

After the aroma of the wine, there is a sour smell so strong that it makes the scalp tingle.

Aromas of lemon and orange peel.

Further down, the flavor of the liqueur becomes more crisp and rich in texture under the wrapping of these two aromas.

The acidity pushes the umami of the sake to the limit, extracting an unforgettable flavor.

Platinum said that fancy bartending will lead to a lack of taste.

In fact, this glass of wine is still a level of perfection.

"You are going to acidify my teeth." Shen Cangye joked with a smile.

That's what I said, but the sourness and wine taste are actually very well balanced.

After taking a sip of wine, I can still feel the warmth from the esophagus.

Platinum blinked, "Do you know the name of this special drink?" 7) [-], [-]-[-]_[-] [-]

"what is it call?"

"It's called—'I, angry, angry,'." Platinum said seriously, word by word.

"You're so angry, you're so sour." Shen Cangye raised his eyebrows, "Look at the name...do you want to drink the last cup with this one?"

Little Tianma pouted, stared at him and said, "Tell me, are you still going to the bar?"

"I won't go, I won't go." Shen Cangye laughed loudly, "With you here, I can stay drunk every day."

"I told you that there is a bartender at home, and I went to the bar to drink drinks made by others." Miss Xintraya said angrily.

"How about you open a bar in Rhodes Island?" Shen Cangye said with a smile, "It will definitely become a big hit."

The preparation of cocktails needs to grasp the taste, not only the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty that can be tasted by the tongue.

There is also the burning sensation of alcohol, numbness, and the temperature of wine;

And the pungent smell of tannins in the wine.

Balance in a cocktail is key.

For example, sweetness can balance bitterness and acidity;

Hot and spicy can balance sweet;

And the cooling balances the alcohol...

An excellent bartender who can perfectly balance the flavors.

Shen Cangye felt that if Bai Jin opened a bar, it would definitely be crowded.

Putting his hands on the bar, Platinum looked at him and smiled, "Open a bar in Rhodes Island...?"

"...Well." She thought for a while, shook her head, and said lazily, "I still can't. I'm too lazy to think about the wine list for other people. I'll do it for you alone."

Shen Cangye went around to the other side of the bar, came behind Bai Jin, put his hands on the bar, and imprisoned the assassin girl in it.

Kuranta smiled and turned to meet him.

"Then make me a cup every day?" Shen Cangye tried to persuade.

With just these two glasses, he felt that he had fallen in love with cocktails.

Platinum pointed his lips with his index finger, "The premise is that you can go home every day."

"Then you will be my exclusive queen bartender." Shen Cangye bit her fingertips, causing Xiao Tianma to chuckle.

Shen Cangye thought for a while, and said: "You only learned to mix wine for poisoning, you wouldn't put weird things in the wine for me, would you?"

"Hahaha, as long as you pay your salary on time, I won't poison you." Little Tianma stuck out his tongue mischievously, "However, the price of hiring me as a bartender is not cheap."

Shen Cangye approached her face, "How do you calculate?"

Platinum pointed to his lips, "Three times a day is the basic salary, and on top of that, if you make a good drink, give more tips."

"Then I'll pay now." Shen Cangye picked her up, put her on the high stool, lowered his head and kissed her.

"...Mmm..." Little Tianma's eyes were blurred by the kiss.

Her hands were still around his neck, and she sniffed him again, "Why do you smell like a bar, go wash up, or you won't be allowed to go to bed."

When Shen Cangye came out of the shower, Bai Jin was already lying on the bed and fell asleep.

He sat on the edge of the bed, took his mobile phone, and saw a message from the black hair:

[Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, see you at the Xista Civic Square. 】

514 You Like to Come to This Kind of Place

Shen Cangye replied "Okay" casually, and threw the phone aside.

I don't know if it's because I drank some wine.

He now feels full of energy and zero sanity.

There is one thing people do when their sanity goes to zero.

The name of this thing is: committing cheapness.

Shen Cangye stared at the little Pegasus lying on his side with his back facing him, and stretched out his hand to stroke her tail.

Platinum's tail fluttered, as if trying to drive away annoying bugs.

Shen Cangye went to touch her ears again.

The fine velvet white hair feels very good, as soft as cotton.

Platinum shook his ears again, pulled the quilt over his head reflexively and continued to sleep.

"Sintleya, what are you doing going to bed so early during the holiday?" Shen Cangye was bored, "Hey, why don't we do something interesting~?"

Platinum didn't respond at all.

Shen Cangye had no choice but to lie flat again, "Suddenly I really want to eat spicy hotpot..."

Cravings to eat before bed seem to be something in human DNA.

Platinum still didn't respond.

Shen Cangye leaned closer to her ear, "Miss Platinum, here is a task for you—"

"Hiss—" Platinum woke up with a start, and subconsciously pulled his arm into his arms, eyes full of horror.

After two seconds, she came to her senses and thumped Shen Cangye's shoulder resentfully, "What!"

"Did it scare you?" Shen Cangye grinned.

Platinum frowned, "I had a nightmare... well, let's not talk about it..."

She huddled in his arms again, breathing in his scent deeply, as if she felt relieved a lot.

"Are you hungry? I vaguely heard just now, you said you want to eat something?" Little Tianma murmured.

"No, I just want to eat suddenly." Shen Cangye said, "There's no need to go to bed so early, it's only eleven o'clock now."

"I still have training tasks tomorrow. I told Kelsey that I would take a two-week break to play with you, and she arranged three days of specialized training for me... After that, I can take a vacation." Platinum swallowed With a groan, "Go out early tomorrow..."

...the vicious old capitalist lynx.

"Sorry for waking you up." Shen Cangye said apologetically, "I thought you were fine tomorrow."

"Go to bed early, when I am on vacation, we can do many interesting things together." Platinum hugged his arm, whispered good night, and fell asleep again.

Shen Cangye glanced at the phone, and found that Hei sent another message:

【Rest early, good night!Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow! 】
