"Master, try this drink I made and let me know how it is." Qi Zhixi made a cocktail and brought it to Liu Shichu, then looked at her expectantly.
Liu Shichu picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The first thing he felt in the mouth was sweet, sour and spicy. After the spicy taste, it became a very mellow wine taste. At the end, the wine taste passed away and it was refreshing and delicious.
"It's very good, the taste comes out." Liu Shichu praised honestly, "It seems that you are quite talented in bartending."
The anticipation on Qi Zhixi's face instantly turned into joy. He smiled so hard that his eyes were bent, and the dimples on his cheeks were deeply exposed: "Really? I am so happy to get your approval."
Liu Shichu smiled and said, "The colors are also very beautiful. Everyone will like it."
Liu Shichu was right. The upper layer of this glass of wine prepared by Qi Zhixi is a refreshing sky blue, refreshing and bright, while the middle layer is orange, which is the color of sweet orange wine. It is bright and warm, and is the same as the top layer. The cold color blue forms a sharp contrast; while the bottom layer is white and transparent, crystal clear, which is pleasing to look at.
These three colors are not rigidly and clearly divided into three layers, but are intertwined into irregular shapes. There is me in you and you in me. They are beautiful and cute. If you hold it up and shake it, you can still see it. to the rainbow.
In order to make the cocktail more emotional, Liu Shichu specially bought a glass that was still very precious at this time to serve it, because only a transparent glass can allow people to clearly appreciate the color of the cocktail.
Many guests who come to the tavern, even if they don’t drink, feel that the trip is worth it just by looking at the dreamy wine. This is not just a simple wine, but has become a kind of wine. Art, the art of wine.
"I deliberately shook it for a long time before shaking it like this. There are only three colors, which are still too few. If more colors can be added, it will be more beautiful." Qi Zhixi looked at the glass of wine with some regret. Said, "My technique is still not very good, I have to continue to practice hard."
The employees were so self-conscious that Liu Shichu didn't need her to say anything more at this time, so she could only encourage: "Then you work hard." She put down her wine glass and suddenly saw a piece of paper under the wine jar in front of her, which seemed to be written Word.
She curiously pulled out the piece of paper and looked at it, and found that it contained a recipe for a cocktail.
"Who wrote the words on this paper? These words are so well written!" Liu Shichu exclaimed. These words were written elegantly and coldly, like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the pen moved like a dragon and a snake, with a sense of leisure and leisure, as if With the owner's chic demeanor, he has become a family of his own.
When Qi Zhixi heard what she said, he smiled even brighter and said, "I wrote it. Do you think my handwriting is good?"
Liu Shichu nodded: "Of course, you must have practiced. No wonder you said before that you make a living by selling calligraphy and painting. It turns out that your calligraphy is so good, no wonder you can support yourself by calligraphy and painting - then I think your paintings are also very good. Really? To be able to practice calligraphy and painting well in a difficult environment, you must have put in a lot of hard work, right?"
Qi Zhixi's eyes flashed with a hint of guilt. He touched his nose and said, "It's okay, it's okay. After all, my father is a scholar. He taught me to write and draw when I was very young. If I can't write well, he will Don't hesitate to use your strength to beat me."
"He's doing it for you too. Let's see if you can survive by selling calligraphy and paintings. It sounds like he's quite foresighted." Liu Shichu joked.
Suddenly she had an idea and said, "Since your calligraphy is so good, why not let you write the wine names and wine lists in the store? You can also write a few big letters and hang them on the wall when you have free time. There will definitely be a lot of them." People appreciate it.”
Qi Zhixi smiled and said: "Okay, then I will show my shame." He agreed immediately.
Liu Shichu kept his promise and immediately asked someone to bring him paper and pen, and brought out the wine list and wine names for Qi Zhixi to copy.
Qi Zhixi sat on a chair, with his back straight, his head down, holding a pen, and began to write on the paper.
As soon as he picked up the pen, his aura seemed to change, the smile on his face faded, and his eyes that were usually full of smiles became serious. He sat upright and lowered his head to write, and the tip of the pen touched the paper, like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, one by one. The elegant and lively words flow out from the tip of the pen like flowing water.
Qi Zhixi's movements were free and elegant, as if he could write such good handwriting effortlessly. At this time, he had completely become an elegant and gentle man.
Some people can burst out with dazzling charm when doing what they are best at and most confident about. Qi Zhixi is like this. Liu Shichu knew it all at once, even if he worked as a waiter and as a waiter, he also He became a bartending apprentice, but he is still a scholar at heart, and writing and writing is his essence.
Although he said that he came to work in the tavern to repay his favor, Liu Shichu realized at this moment that his tavern could not keep this person forever. Even if he said that he was happy to work here, Jin Zi Destined to shine.
"Write me a calligraphy, write the words 'poetry and wine while enjoying the youth', and I will hang it in the lobby so that everyone can appreciate it." Liu Shichu said with a smile, taking advantage of Qizhixi here, While he hasn't yet become successful, he should leave more of his calligraphy treasures, maybe they will be very valuable in the future, Liu Shichu thought secretly.
"Poetry and wine take advantage of the youth?" Qi Zhixi stopped writing when he heard this sentence and couldn't help but think about it. After a while, he sighed: "This sentence is really good? Where did it come from? Who did it come from? written?"
"It's from Su Shi's poem, what? Haven't you heard of it?" Liu Shichu asked in confusion. Su Shi is so famous, and Qi Zhixi is a scholar, how could he not know about it?
"Who is Su Shi? What lyrics did he write? I have never read his masterpieces. Could it be that I am ignorant?" Qi Zhixi suddenly doubted his own knowledge.
Liu Shichu suddenly remembered that the history of this dynasty did not include Tang poetry and Song poetry, and there was no Tang Zong and Song ancestors. The history was different. Obviously Su Shi did not exist in this era.
"Su Shi is a lyricist, and he may not be very famous. I also read his lyrics by chance and remembered some of them. You don't know that he is quite normal." Liu Shichu quickly made an excuse and said, oh, almost. Exposed.
Qi Zhixi suddenly asked with great interest: "Did you see his lyrics in that book? I want to see it too. What is the entire poem of his? Do you still remember it?"
Liu Shichu's head suddenly got big, and he said quickly: "I read that book a long time ago. I don't know where it was thrown away, and I don't remember what the title is. If you want to know the whole poem, then I still remember it."
"Then read it to me quickly." Qi Zhixi said expectantly with bright eyes.
Liu Shichu had no choice but to read Su Shi's "Wang Jiangnan, Transcendent Taiwanese Works" once. Qi Zhixi's eyes brightened even more, and he murmured the poem a few more times before sighing: "This Su Shi is really He is a talented man, but it is a pity that I have never read his masterpiece before!"
Liu Shichu touched his nose and felt very guilty.
