Chapter 2 Karasuma Shuryo is the bar owner
When he woke up from his sleep three days ago, the young man realized that he had lost his memory.
After searching the place where he lived, and by piecing together his driver's license and other items, the young man found out that his name was Karasuma Shuryo, that he was the owner of a bar, and that he lived alone in the bar.
The bar is called "Baker Street". The store is located in Ginza. It is neither big nor small. The front store is used as the back home, and a warehouse is renovated into a bedroom.
The most important thing is that he found a memo, which helped him a lot.
Before amnesia, I seemed to suffer from forgetfulness. I wrote down a lot of trivial things in my memo, such as bedroom keys, shop keys, back door keys, the color of warehouse keys, and where I usually put my key chain; feeding lotus seeds and coconuts every few hours, once
How much to feed; what health supplements to take before going to bed, how many tablets of each to take, etc...
Although Karasuma Shuryo wanted to go to the hospital to treat his amnesia, he knew that medical treatment would cost money even if he lost his memory.
Unfortunately, after searching all the bars, he found that he had no money. So he could only continue to live in a state of amnesia.
Then at the bar counter, Karasuma Shuryo found an entry-level bartender textbook and cocktail recipe book.
Could it be that before he lost his memory, he was mixing drinks for customers while reading textbooks? Karasuma Shuryo couldn't help but doubt himself.
After mixing himself a mojito according to the method in the textbook, Karasuma Shuryo found that his muscle memory was still there. He could master the cocktails on the menu once after mixing them according to the textbook, and he also remembered the recipe very firmly.
So Karasuma Shuryo spent three days relearning the basics of bartending in his own shop.
Because the bar can also provide guests with some light meals and snacks to go with wine, there are two freezers filled with ingredients in the kitchen. Karasuma Shuryo doesn't even need to go out to buy food for the past three days.
"Lotus seeds and coconuts, are you ready to welcome the guests?"
The crow looked at its owner with its dark eyes. The fat cat lay dozing under the warm light of the bar. No one responded to Karasuma Shuryo's inquiry.
Three days later, the bar owner Karasuma Shuryo, who had lost his memory, opened the 'close' sign at the door of the bar and replaced it with 'open'.
Then Karasuma Shuryo stood behind the bar... in a daze.
What should a bartender do when there are no customers?
Karasuma Shuryo took out the Bartender's Guide that he had just put away and looked at the cover of the tutorial.
On the cover is a middle-aged bartender with a beard, elegantly cleaning a wine glass.
Karasuma Shuryo, who was a little nervous about opening a store for the first time, immediately took out a square glass for drinking beer and wiped it with a white silk cloth.
Rub, rub, rub...
After about three or four minutes of cleaning, the glass wind chime hanging on the door rang, and a guest opened the door and walked in.
Karasuma Jiuruo raised his head and looked towards the door, his eyes immediately lit up.
The first customer who came to the door turned out to be a beauty with blond hair and big waves. She also had blond hair and big waves.
He has fair skin, big blue eyes, long eyelashes, and a small cherry mouth under the straight bridge of his nose. He is probably in his twenties and should be European and American.
A black long skirt from the northern hemisphere was exposed, with a pair of beautiful legs covered in 20d black stockings underneath.
Japanese makeup is worthy of being among the four evil arts, and any customer can be such a snow and ice beauty. Karasuma Shuryo thought this way.
After all, he is a person with amnesia, so he cannot recognize the American star Chrissy Wynyard from this face.
Should he say something nice to entertain the guests? Karasuma Shuryo put down the wine glass in his hand.
"The cry of lotus seeds this morning was as beautiful as a magpie. I knew something good would happen today. Look, today's first guest turned out to be such a beautiful lady."
Of course, let alone chirping like a magpie, the crow named Renko has not uttered a sound in the past three days, which made Karasuma Shurya make sure that its tongue had not been cut off during feeding.
Seeing that the beautiful guest's eyes were brighter and there seemed to be a smile in the corner of her eyes, Karasuma Shuryo took advantage of the victory and pursued:
"What would you like to drink, miss? For your beauty, I'll treat you to the first drink."
The beautiful customer sat in the center of the long bar, opposite Karasuma Shuryo.
"Of course it's Vermouth," the guest said.
Karasuma Shuryo was stunned for a moment. If he remembered correctly, Vermouth was a separate alcoholic beverage, not the name of a cocktail.
Guest, if you don't order a cocktail, I will be embarrassed after working hard for three days!
While he was complaining in his mind, Karasuma Shuryo suddenly thought of something that made his heart tighten.
This beautiful customer just used the word 'of course', and seemed to take her ordering vermouth as a matter of course. Could it be that... is this a regular customer of the bar?
You should be lucky now. Fortunately, the guest didn't order a cocktail. Otherwise, his bartending skills might be a bit rusty compared to the past, and regular customers might find out and complain.
With this thought in his mind, Karasuma Shuryo showed off the appearance of a professional bartender, still wearing a smiling poker face: "Do you want to drink it neat? Or add ice?"
"Anything is fine," the beautiful guest said.
Then add ice. Karasuma Shuryo decided that by adding ice, he could pour less wine.
Karasuma Shuryo's hand reached under the counter, passed a 150ml red wine glass, a 90ml sherry glass, and then selected a 60ml small triangular cup to place on the bar.
When he turned around to get a drink from the wine cabinet behind him, Karasuma Shuryo was in trouble again.
There are actually two types of vermouth, dry vermouth with a light-colored liquor and sweet vermouth with a brown-red color containing caramel.
If the other party is a regular customer, one of them should be the vermouth she often drinks...which kind?
Even if you say to her at this time: Sorry, actually I lost my memory two days ago, which one do you prefer? The other party will not believe it, right?
Karasuma Shuryo felt that the other party would be angry, thinking that he, the bar owner, did not take her as a customer seriously, and then turned around and left angrily, and might even complain about this matter to all his friends.
Frequent visitor -1, Reputation -10.
Then the only choice was to take a gamble. With his back to the guests and thinking about the sweet face of this ice beauty, Karasuma Shuryo picked up a bottle of sweet vermouth.
If the guest is surprised by the sweet vermouth, say to her: Try different flavors occasionally. Don't panic when you say it, express it naturally.
There is absolutely no need to use your bartending skills. In order not to make your first drink after opening so lonely, as a newbie bartender’s last stubbornness, Karasuma Shuryo took a piece of candied orange peel and shaped it into a spiral shape and hung it on the bartender.
He thought the bright and clear colors on the cup wall looked very nice.
"Please use."
The guest picked up the wine glass and didn't seem to care about the sweet vermouth. Maybe Karasuma Shuryo made the right bet.
But the guest did not drink the wine immediately, but gently shook the glass in his hand, as if admiring the crystal clear luster of the wine under the light.
The two ice cubes rotated together in the wine glass, sometimes colliding with each other and sometimes rubbing against the wall of the glass. The sound made Karasuma Shuryō feel a little fuzzy.
He tried to chat with the other party: "Is the lady alone? Or is she waiting for a companion?"
This determines whether he can make money from one person or a group of people next.
"I'm just a person. I originally wanted to come to Ginza with my boyfriend, but something happened to my boyfriend's side and I was let go." After hearing Karasuma Shuryo's question, the beautiful guest replied gloomily: "I'm sorry.
I have no choice but to come alone and drink a cup of bitter and dull wine."
Karasumajiu's conscience was secretly happy.
I have a conflict with my boyfriend, which is a good thing.
Of course a sad person comes to a bar to get drunk. This customer will keep ordering one cup after another. Maybe her order will be enough for tonight's turnover.
After complaining, the beauty finally took a sip of the wine in the glass. It was only a very small sip, and the liquid level did not drop much after she put it down.
A drop of wine slipped from the corner of the other party's lips, and without pausing on the delicate chin, he lightly jumped into the 36D East African Rift Valley. Karasuma Shuryo almost stared straight in his eyes.
"The dryness derived from plant ingredients and the spiciness of alcohol are suppressed by ice cubes, and the sweetness brought by caramel and the fruity sweetness of candied orange peel are blended together. BOSS's craftsmanship is so good." She praised.
