Five Elements Continent, the western part of the Southern Fire Empire, Lihuo City.
In the Southern Fire Empire, Lihuo City can only be regarded as a medium-sized city, but it is quite prosperous in all aspects. There are only a few thousand people in the garrison, but the law and order here is surprisingly good. The wide streets are spotless, and all the main roads are paved with the unique dark red granite of the Southern Fire Empire. Using this kind of rock as a brick pavement is not only beautiful, but also durable. As long as there is no human damage, it will be used for hundreds of years No problem either.
It was already evening, and the setting sun left a gorgeous sunset glow on the horizon, and Lihuo City became more and more comfortable. After a day of work, people who were not considered busy began to enter the rest time. All kinds of entertainment venues suitable for the evening are also lively.
Flame Burning Love is one of the most famous bars in Lihuo City, located beside the main road in the prime location. Its main color is also mainly red like most buildings in Lihuo City, but its red is more vivid. The tall two-story building is not its biggest selling point, but the open-air square in front of the bar is what attracts the most customers.
The open-air square is about 500 square meters, and in the center is a circular bar with a diameter of 10 meters. The most famous bartenders in the flame burning love bar will mix drinks for the guests here every night, even if it is raining. There is never a shortage of guests, and the roof that can be pulled up at any time to cover the entire open plaza is sufficient.
There is no winter in the Southern Fire Empire, so the nights here are never deserted.
At this time, several bartenders from Lie Yan Burning Passion were already in place, and the number of guests in the open-air plaza gradually increased. For them, this was the busiest time of the day.
An old man in a red robe walked into the open-air plaza. As soon as his front foot stepped into the confines of the plaza, a waiter greeted him with a smile on his face, leading him to the middle of the open-air plaza, closest to the central bar. . The ten tables surrounding the central bar are not for ordinary guests, they are all reserved for the VIPs of the bar. There is no doubt that this red-robed old man is one of them. Moreover, the position where he sat was facing the street, which was the A-shaped table here.
The old man in the red robe has short gray hair, a rosaceous nose, small eyes, and a short stature. No matter how you look at it, he looks very inconspicuous. But the faint red light that flashed between his small eyes occasionally opened and closed seemed to have a breathtaking power.
"Old Yang, are you still the same?" A middle-aged man in a formal dress came over and bowed gracefully to the old man in red. Only guests at the VIP table are personally entertained by the bar owner.
Elder Yang said helplessly: "Except for the special taste of your place, Lie Yan Burning Love, there is nothing that can attract me."
The boss smiled slightly and said, "Please wait a moment." While speaking, he turned around and snapped his fingers at the oldest bartender behind the center bar. The bartender understood immediately, took out a clean crystal shaker, and quickly started his first job of the day, which was also the most important job for him every day.
Soon, all kinds of wine were poured into the shaker in order, put into the strainer, and the lid was closed, and the shaker immediately danced cheerfully in the hands of the bartender.
Since the shaker is made of transparent white crystal, the color of the liquor inside can be clearly seen during the mixing process. In the quick and skillful shaking of the bartender, the red wine in the flagon is flying up and down like a cluster of flames, which is really beautiful. When the flames finally calmed down in the hands of the bartender, the lid of the jug had been opened at some point, and the bartender poured the dark red liquor into a martini glass, and from the lamp next to it, With a flicker on the stove, suddenly, a reddish flame ignited above the liquor, and the rich and somewhat spicy aroma of the liquor spread.
The smooth movements of the senior bartender at the Flame Burning Love Bar, as well as the aroma of the special Flame Burning Love cocktail, immediately won applause and smiles from nearby guests. Elder Yang was no exception, and nodded to the bartender. When his eyes fell on the glass of wine, his small eyes couldn't help showing a look of impatience.
Soon, the glass of fine wine was delivered to Elder Yang, and he directly took the glass from the waiter. Elder Yang took a sip, completely ignoring the flames burning on the wine, heaved a long sigh, and praised the bar owner: "Good! , It’s still delicious enough. After drinking it for five years, it still makes me, an old alcoholic, linger. No wonder your business here is so prosperous.”
The bar owner smiled respectfully and said, "As long as you are satisfied."
At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded from the side, "Is this also called good wine? It's just rubbish." The voice was not loud, and it was a little hoarse and weak, but it could not conceal the arrogance in his words .
"Huh?" The bar owner and Elder Yang looked towards the direction where the voice came from almost at the same time. I don't know when, a small beggar in tattered clothes was squatting not far from the table, his eyes were focused on the cup of flames, and his dim eyes were full of passion. The color of disdain.
The bar owner frowned slightly, and looked sternly at a waiter not far away. Only then did the waiter notice the existence of the little beggar, and hurried over, "Sorry, boss, I didn't see him coming in."
The bar owner waved his hand and signaled the waiter to pull the little beggar out quickly so as not to affect the business. In front of Elder Yang, it is not easy for him to act too aggressively.
The little beggar stood up by himself, his face was dirty, his body was thin, he looked only eleven or twelve years old, his disheveled hair hadn't been washed for many days, and it was unavoidable that he had some unpleasant smells on his body. smell.
The waiter came over with some disgust and wanted to pull him out, but Elder Yang said, "Wait a minute." Without the bar owner's signal, the waiter quickly withdrew his hand and looked at Elder Yang hesitantly.
Old Yang's eyes fell on the little beggar, "Little friend, did you just say that this cup of flaming flames is not good? I don't know where you have seen better wine. Let me tell you." The pursuit of good wine can be said to be his whole life. one of my greatest interests.
The owner of the bar hurriedly said: "Old Yang, what can he know as a little beggar, don't let him spoil your drinking pleasure." The people of Nanhuo Empire like to drink the most, and the competition in the bar industry is naturally extremely fierce. The little beggar lured the distinguished guest away by telling which other bar in the city had a good drink. You know, it's not a matter of how much income Mr. Yang comes to drink with him every day.
