The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 662 [The Boss Invites]
He couldn’t help but raise his head, and a mischievous smile suddenly popped into his view.
"How about a Black Russian?" Ye Chenfeng asked lightly.
The bartender gave Ye Chenfeng a cool glance, then started to flaunt his expert cocktail-making skills.
Soon, a Black Russian was prepared and the bartender placed it in front of Ye Chenfeng.
Amid the envious looks from the waitstaff, Ye Chenfeng somewhat reluctantly accepted the glass.
First, he sniffed it at the tip of his nose, squinted his eyes to admire the slowly settling body of the drink, sipped gently, clicked his tongue twice, and said, "Not bad!"
"I wouldn’t claim to be the best in the world or the country, but at least in Jiangnan, my ’Black Russian’ is the best in all the bars!" a voice brimming with confidence rang out.
The bartender looked at Ye Chenfeng with disdain.
"Not long ago, I had one better than yours!" Ye Chenfeng said, "Do you believe that the one I mix is better than yours?"
"Hmph, mere words prove nothing!" the bartender snorted coldly.
The bartender was very angry; he had been hired from Yanjing for a high price to replace Li Yang, keeping the bar’s business from declining for ten years—he had his pride.
To him, a casual critique from Ye Chenfeng was an insult, and now Ye Chenfeng even claimed to mix drinks better than him, which made his anger surge.
So, the head bartender looked at Ye Chenfeng with a hint of anger in his eyes.
"Forget it, I’m just playing with you. Make me a Rainbow Drink!" Ye Chenfeng said nonchalantly, seemingly oblivious to the bartender.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng ignore him, the bartender grew even more sullen, sweeping a cold, hard stare over Ye Chenfeng and said scornfully, "Aren’t you a master mixer yourself? Isn’t yours better?"
Ye Chenfeng was taken aback for a moment, then finally focused his gaze on the bartender, his furrowed brow smoothing out, "Alright then, just prepare the ingredients: 10mL of Osmanthus Aged Wine, 10mL of vodka, 20mL of Red Leaf Meisujiu, 20mL of White Meisujiu, 30mL of syrup, 30mL of bamboo leaf liquor. Remember, the Osmanthus Aged Wine must be Old Yanjing!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"What!"
The bartender was taken aback on the spot. Initially, he thought Ye Chenfeng was merely boasting to gain applause, but it is clear to an expert at first move!
The Seven Color Rainbow Cocktail actually comes in many varieties, such as Fire Phoenix, Flying Heaven, Safety Zone, Traffic Lights, Angel Ascension, etc., but the ingredients Ye Chenfeng asked for were for making "Neon Lights," which is one of the hardest to make among the Seven Color Rainbow Cocktails.
And Ye Chenfeng’s request for Old Yanjing’s Osmanthus Aged Wine spoke volumes of his expertise!
Osmanthus Aged Wine, also historically known as "Osmanthus East Wine," has a brewing history of over three thousand years. Yet, this wine was always "ensconced" within the deep confines of the imperial palace, brewed by the imperial kitchen exclusively for the nobility.
The Osmanthus Aged Wine from Beijing has an alcohol proof of just 15 degrees, a fortified, fragrant wine. Its color is a bright gold, pure and clear. It embodies the delicate fragrance of osmanthus and the rich aroma of wine, appropriately sweet and sour, with a lingering aftertaste.
Osmanthus Aged Wine, originally called "Osmanthus East Wine," has been brewed for more than three thousand years. However, this wine was always "nestled" within the confines of the royal courtyard, and later, the art of its brewing was nearly lost. This is a testament to the value of Old Yanjing’s Osmanthus Aged Wine.
Previously, when Li Yang was around, Ten Years Bar was arguably the best bar in all of Jiangnan, with a rich collection of aged spirits, including Old Yanjing’s Osmanthus Aged Wine.
The bartender hesitated for a moment but finally decided to go and prepare the ingredients. He wanted to see this man’s mixing skills!
As the bartender fetched the materials, Ye Chenfeng thoroughly washed his hands.
When the bartender saw this, he was again surprised. Considering Ye Chenfeng’s attire, his hands should have been covered in calluses. Yet, paradoxically, Ye Chenfeng’s hands were as white as jade, with slender and delicate fingers—a very beautiful pair of hands that sometimes even women would envy.
Ye Chenfeng seemed to be doing something very sacred, his expression somewhat solemn. Suddenly, with a flicker in his eyes, a crystal-clear liquor bottle had already landed in his hands, rolling elegantly. The bartender couldn’t help but tremble, his eyes unwaveringly fixated on Ye Chenfeng’s hands.
The lights were dazzling, with the exquisite bottle spinning in the palm, reflecting rays of bright light that were somewhat blinding.
Golden osmanthus wine and dark brown syrup abruptly filled the bottle, with streaks of liquid cascading down its body, quite spectacular.
Red Leaf American whiskey, vodka, and white American whiskey were sequentially sprinkled along a delicate glass rod into the rapidly spinning bottle, the splashing liquids tracing patterns on its surface.
Taut cheeks, clear eyes, faint stubble, a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, spinning bottle, and splashing liquid created a visually striking tableau.
"Clack!"
Finally, thirty milliliters of bamboo leaf green liquor was slowly poured into the bottle, completing the divine Neon Light Cocktail within the spectrum of a seven-colored rainbow.
The liquid continued to swirl as the bottle abruptly came to a stop, the bartender and other servers still intoxicated by the mesmerizing scene that had just unfolded.
Once the liquid settled, an even more splendid scene emerged.
Distinctly layered and vivid in color, its elegance was accentuated by a natural harmony.
This was the Seven Colors Rainbow Cocktail, a natural visual effect created by the varying densities of the liquids.
Intense contrast yet naturally harmonious, only under Ye Chenfeng’s skill could such a paradoxical tableau be crafted.
"So beautiful!"
An exclamation resounded through the Decade Bar, captivating everyone’s heart with Ye Chenfeng’s divine performance, including the head bartender of the bar.
"Men should treat themselves well; sipping a Rainbow Cocktail now and then is excellent," Ye Chenfeng said lazily, the corners of his mouth curving up mischievously.
"Sir, our boss would like to see you!"
Just then, a voice rang in Ye Chenfeng’s ear, halting his actions just as he was about to drink.
Turning around, he saw a young girl brimming with youthful energy, apparently a server at the bar.
Your boss?" Ye Chenfeng paused, wondering if Li Yang was still alive, a thought that startled him.
Li Yang had long been dead; it was not possible for him to be alive.
"Sir?" Seeing Ye Chenfeng lost in thought, the young girl waved her hand in front of him.
"Let’s go see your boss," Ye Chenfeng said, figuring it was better to satisfy his curiosity by meeting them himself.
The young girl led the way, with Ye Chenfeng following, holding the Seven Colors Rainbow Cocktail.
Watching Ye Chenfeng’s departing figure, the bartender muttered to himself, "Who exactly is he? Even the boss wants to invite him."
They crossed the bar and entered a luxurious apartment.
"Sir, please come in; I should not enter,"
Full of doubts, Ye Chenfeng entered the apartment and quickly noticed a woman.
