When Linger took Lanya into the Emerald Bar, Elise, who was cleaning the table, stopped her movements, glanced at the two of them, made a tut-tsk sound in her mouth, and shook her head slightly.
"Look at how much trouble you have made with your child. You are really a big pervert."
Lin Ge ignored her and went to the rest room to change clothes. Lanya still looked a little weak and explained:
"Please don't misunderstand Mr. Ringer, it's my own problem."
"No, what kind of ecstasy soup did he give you to drink to make you defend him like this?"
Lanya blushed and said: "There is no ecstasy soup. Mr. Ringer gave me milk to drink and gave me food to eat. He is a good person, not a pervert."
Elise shook her head with a look of regret on her face, as if she was lamenting the fall of a young girl, and said nothing more.
Ringer put on the white shirt he wore at work, came out of the rest room, walked into the bar, and began to prepare for business.
"Elise, bring me a wet towel."
"You don't have long hands, come and get it yourself."
Lin Ge laughed and was about to get a towel when he saw Lanya running to the bucket.
She picked up the towel hanging by the bucket, soaked it and wring it out, then ran to the bar, stood on tiptoes, raised her hands above her head, and handed the wet towel to him.
"Here, towel."
Lin Ge smiled and said thank you, took the towel, took down the wine bottle from the upper counter behind him, wiped the bottle, and said to himself: "Would you like to suggest to the store manager that we recruit another obedient and lovely apprentice?" What? But our store is not large, and four employees seems to be too many."
Lin Ge paused and suddenly thought of a good idea.
"By the way, let's lay off employees!"
Elise finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Asshole, I want to be the first one to cut you!"
Ringer smiled and said, "I didn't say I would lay you off. Why are you so excited?"
"Who is excited? I am not." When she said this, Elise was like an angry little lion, completely unconvincing.
Lanya's eyes lit up as she climbed in front of the bar. If she could really work here, she wouldn't have to worry about eating and drinking.
"Is it so lively so early in the morning? I heard Elise yelling before I opened the door." There was the sound of wind chimes shaking at the door, and Nilu opened the door and came in, smiling.
"Early in the morning?"
"Although it's evening in Linge's world, in our world, it's eight o'clock in the morning." Nilu explained with a smile.
Ringer was relieved.
Shortly after officially opening for business, the Emerald Bar welcomed its first customer today.
Ringer thought the first customer entering the store would be Karina, but he didn't expect it to be the big red lizard who called himself the prince.
When Prince Lieyang entered the store, he was obviously not as arrogant as yesterday. He went straight to the bar and sat down.
"Let's have a cup of what we had yesterday, iced black tea!"
"It's Long Island iced tea."
"Hey, everything is fine. Come on, give it to me."
Ringer smiled and prepared a cup of Long Island ice tea for him. Prince Lieyang did not pour it into his mouth like flushing the toilet like yesterday. Instead, he stretched out his long and forked tongue and gently stirred it around in the glass. There was an expression of enjoyment on his face.
Although it looks a bit disgusting, Ringer is still satisfied that the guests are enjoying the wine he made.
Prince Lieyang suddenly retracted his tongue and asked, "Why does it taste different from yesterday?"
"Better or worse?"
There is no need to ask this question, Ringer also knows the answer, but he wants to hear the guest say it himself.
"The taste is more refreshing than yesterday, and the aroma of wine lingering on the tip of the tongue is also longer-lasting. Compared with today's cup, yesterday's cup is like the work of an apprentice."
Ringer showed a satisfied smile and explained: "A prepared cocktail is filled with the efforts and emotions of the bartender, even if it is the same person, the same materials, the physical state, emotional state of the bartender, and the subtleties of the mixing techniques. Any difference will make the resulting wine different.”
Prince Lieyang showed a clear expression, and then suddenly asked: "In other words, your boy was perfunctory with me yesterday, right?"
"The guest was joking. I just happened to be out of shape yesterday."
Yesterday, when he was mixing wine for Prince Lieyang, Ringer's mood fluctuated violently. He completely lost his calm mind and relied purely on instinct to mix wine. The wine made under such circumstances was naturally no different from ordinary wine.
However, although Prince Lieyang is a lizard, he does know some ways of tasting wine, otherwise he would not be able to detect the difference between two glasses of wine.
"Indeed, you looked like a stupid frog yesterday, and you look much more normal today."
After Prince Lieyang glanced at Linge, he reluctantly believed his words.
Lin Ge smiled slightly and accepted his words as a compliment.
"In that case, you are qualified." Prince Lieyang said suddenly.
Lin Ge was stunned: "What qualifications?"
"You have the qualifications to follow the future emperor of the Garama Empire. Come with me and prepare a fine wine for me. In return, I will give you wealth and status. If you perform well, you will marry the noble princess of the empire and join the noble royal family. It’s not impossible.”
Prince Lieyang took out a ruby from his pocket and threw it on the bar very casually. The gem was shaped like a blood diamond and shone gorgeously under the light.
He tapped his paws lightly on the glass at hand, speaking like a true king.
Ringer was a little funny. What he meant was, let me marry a female lizard?
How can it be.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I just want to be a free bartender and let more customers appreciate the charm of wine."
"You should think about it again. If you miss this opportunity, it will be useless for you to beg me again." Prince Lieyang was surprised and emphasized again.
"Yes, just follow him. The Garama Empire is one of the most powerful countries in the continent of Ios. Following this noble prince will ensure that your future is bright." Elise also came to the bar and encouraged Ringer leaves.
Prince Lieyang turned his head and glanced at Elise in surprise.
"Woman, I have to admit, I'm starting to like you a little bit."
"Thank you, but please shut up."
"you--!"
Prince Lieyang glanced at Elise's rolled-up sleeves and swallowed the rest of the words.
Although those hands were slender and as white as jade, they contained terrifying power.
At this time, Ringer smiled and said: "Thank you both for your kindness, but everyone has his own ambitions. I just want to be a free bartender and serve more guests good wine."
Snap-pop-pop!
"well said!"
Loud applause came from the door, and a young man with short white hair and fair skin leaned against the store door and came in at some unknown time.
With everyone watching, he walked to the bar and sat down on the left side of Prince Lieyang.
A forearm with a clenched fist was placed in front of Prince Lieyang. The slender wrist and small fist made Prince Lieyang feel bitingly cold.
"You want to poach me, right? Little lizard~"
