Of course Du Ming understood what Ji Dong meant by going to the appointment, and hurriedly led Ji Dong and the three into the bartenders guild. Du Xiner on the side has already taken the initiative to run to Ji Dong's side, grabbed his sleeve and said: "Brother Ji Dong, I have been practicing very hard. I will definitely cultivate to level 60 as soon as possible, and let you accept it." I am a disciple."
With a slight shake of Ji Dong's arm, he brushed aside Du Xin'er's pull without a trace, "Miss Xin'er, it's a good thing to practice hard. I look forward to your reaching level 60 as soon as possible."
Du Xiner was thrown away by Ji Dong, looked at him with some dissatisfaction, then looked at Lie Yan wearing a bamboo hat beside Ji Dong, stuck out her tongue at Ji Dong, and said: "Brother Ji Dong, why does this sister always take veiled! Is she ill?"
Ji Dong frowned slightly, "Miss Xin'er, please respect yourself." His tone was obviously a bit serious, and Du Xiner said that Lie Yan was sick, which he could not accept. While speaking, he had already held Lie Yan's hand and led Ajin into the gate of the Bartenders Guild.
Du Xiner looked at the backs of the three of them, and stomped her feet fiercely. He snorted angrily, and said to himself: "Dead Ji Dong, stinky Ji Dong, I will not give up. Auntie, why don't I respect myself. I haven't had a boyfriend yet."
Lie Yan chuckled in Ji Dong's ear and said, "Unexpectedly, my little Ji Dong is still very popular!"
Ji Dong smiled slightly, looked at Lie Yan, and said in a low voice: "I am your Ji Dong, not Xiao Ji Dong. Lie Yan, are you jealous?" Finally established a relationship with Lie Yan, he is no longer as cautious as before , couldn't help joking Lie Yan.
Lie Yan smiled and said: "Do I need to be jealous? Your person, your heart, and your soul are all mine. Besides, I don't think there will be any more attractive girls than me in your human world."
Confidence comes from strength. If someone else said this, Ji Dong would definitely snort, but it was so natural when he said it from Lie Yan. Even Ah Jin who was on the side nodded.
At this time, Du Sikang had led a group of bartenders to greet him from inside.
"Mr. Ji Dong." Du Sikang stepped forward a few steps and came in front of Ji Dong. Ji Dong reached out to shake hands with him, and said apologetically, "President Du, I was really sorry that day, because something happened and we had to leave temporarily. Go. I'm so sorry, please forgive me."
"It's nothing, it's nothing. As long as Mr. Ji Dong is safe and sound. Come on, please come inside." Du Sikang personally led Ji Dong and the three to go inside. Du Xiner who followed behind saw her father, naturally It's not good to go forward to harass Ji Dong anymore.
While walking, Ji Dong said to Du Sikang: "President Du, I am here this time to fulfill the agreement between us. After competing with you, I may leave the Beishui Empire to fight for the next holy and evil war." Ready for battle."
Du Sikang said: "Okay. I've already made arrangements. I heard my son talk about Mr. Ji Dong's bartending skills in detail, and I can't help but feel a little itch. Mr. Ji Dong, do you mind letting the bartenders in our guild also watch it?" How about a flip?"
Ji Dong frowned slightly, looked at Du Sikang with deep meaning in his eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't want to compete with Du Sikang in front of members of the bartenders guild, in that case, even if Du Sikang lost, not many people would know, It will not affect his Dionysus reputation. At this time, Du Sikang made this request obviously for a purpose. The bartenders' guild suffered heavy losses from the Magic League this time, and the influence of his president in the guild has dropped significantly. He is trying to build confidence in his members by showing off his bartending skills by beating himself in bartending. Obviously, Du Sikang is full of confidence in himself when it comes to bartending. And there may be other purposes as well.
The improvement of mental power makes Ji Dong more thorough when he sees people. When Du Sikang made this suggestion to him, his heartbeat obviously accelerated, which proved that he was restless and had some plans. Although Ji Dong didn't know what Du Sikang was plotting, he wasn't afraid either. What's more, he was the one who saved the entire bartenders guild before, and he believed that Du Sikang would not do anything against him.
"Well, if that's the case, I will follow what the president said. However, I will definitely do my best." Ji Dong said lightly.
Du Sikang nodded and said, "Me too. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to Mr. Ji Dong."
When they came to the meeting hall of the Bartenders Guild, Du Sikang first asked Ji Dong and the others to sit down, and then immediately ordered people to go down to prepare.
"Mr. Ji Dong, since the competition is being held in our guild, I have taken advantage of the wine category invisibly. It is up to you to propose the method of this competition. This way, it can be regarded as fair."
Ji Dong smiled slightly, this is more than fair, two bartenders are competing, and it is a great advantage for one of them to propose the method of the competition. Almost every bartender has his own best way and type of bartending. Using one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses will undoubtedly greatly increase the chances of winning. Du Sikang made it clear that he didn't want to take advantage of him, and it also fully demonstrated his strong self-confidence as a Dionysus.
Ji Dong nodded and said, "Well, I won't be polite."
A trace of hesitation flashed in Du Sikang's eyes, he gritted his teeth, and he said it anyway, "Mr. Ji Dong, I have another suggestion. Our competition this time can be regarded as a grand event in the bartending world. How about it? Let's add some color to each other, maybe this can stimulate us to better display our bartending skills."
Hearing what he said, Ji Dong immediately understood what Du Sikang was plotting. Although this is what he expected, but looking at Du Sikang, he felt very uncomfortable. Pretending not to understand what he meant, he said indifferently: "Then what kind of prize does President Du plan to add?"
Du Sikang said: "Of course Mr. Ji Dong doesn't notice ordinary things. I'll use a bottle of Vast Sea Wine as a prize."
As soon as this remark came out, a kind of bartenders suddenly went into an uproar. For Ji Dong and Du Sikang to discuss bartending skills, they were very strange. It was just that Du Sikang had told them before that Ji Dong's bartending ability was very strong and he had defeated Fu Rui, which made them interested. At this time, Du Sikang They couldn't help being shocked when they said that they would bet on the vast sea wine.
"Dad..." Du Ming came to Du Sikang quickly, and said angrily: "You, how could you do this, this is..." After all, he still didn't say the words "gratitude and revenge", but the look in his eyes when he looked at his father had completely changed. up.
Du Sikang shouted in a deep voice, "This is between me and Mr. Ji Dong, you step back."
Ever since Ji Dong expressed that he wanted to have a bartending discussion with him that day, Du Sikang has thought a lot in his mind. Ji Dong's magician strength is unquestionable, but he never thinks that Ji Dong has the ability to compete with him in bartending. strength. The most important thing is that the source of life of a thousand years is too attractive to him. That fatal attraction is stimulating his heart almost every day. Of course he knew that by offering such a lottery today, it can be said that he would leave no way out, or even repay his kindness with revenge. But he really couldn't help it. He clearly remembered every fine wine on the wine list. As the president of the Bartenders Guild, he finally had the chance to get one of them, so how could he have no idea. He knew that as Ji Dong, he would absolutely keep his promise, and he would not come to trouble the Bartenders Guild. At most, it would offend him completely, and he would never help the Bartenders Guild any more in the future.
After much deliberation, Du Sikang finally made a decision to sacrifice his old face and win the second peerless famous wine for the Bartenders Guild. In that case, his name will be forever engraved in the history of the Bartenders Guild. You know, from the first guild president to the present, no one has been able to leave another bottle of peerless wine on the wine list for the guild!
Ji Dong looked at Du Sikang calmly, his eyes were calm, and his expression did not change at all because of the lottery Du Sikang proposed, but he said calmly: "President Du, your lottery seems to be more valuable. The source of life can be compared with it."
Du Sikang forced a smile, and said: "We are just discussing at random. Although the source of life is lower than Hanhai Qiongjiu in the ranking of my guild's famous wine list, it is enough to be used as a lottery."
"Dad, you can't do this." Du Xiner also understood at this time, and rushed up from the side, even more direct than her brother, blocking Ji Dong and glaring at her father.
Du Sikang's face darkened, "Come here, take the two of them down for me. It's not proper to be so disrespectful in front of distinguished guests."
Several bartenders came up and grabbed the Du Ming brothers and sisters. Du Ming kept winking at Ji Dong, signaling that he should not agree to his father. Du Xiner even called out directly, but Ji Dong's reaction to them But they all turned a blind eye, nodded to Du Sikang, and said: "Okay, since President Du is so interested, how can Ji Dong not accompany you? I am also very curious about the wine list of your club. In addition to the famous wine record, how about I use two bottles of the source of life as a lottery? The source of life is ranked below the vast sea wine, so you can't suffer, right? "
Although the famous wine record is precious, it is impossible to compare it with a bottle of peerless famous wine. Hearing that Ji Dong said that he has two bottles of the source of life, Du Sikang couldn't help being overjoyed. At this time, he was completely immersed in the joy of getting the source of life for a thousand years, but he never thought why Ji Dong was willing to take out two bottles of such precious wine as a bet.
"Okay, then we'll make a deal." Du Sikang stood up, and Ji Dong also stood up, and the two of them clasped hands, making a bet.
The other bartenders sitting in the conference room stood up one after another. They didn't quite understand why Du Sikang proposed such a lottery. For Ji Dong, they felt grateful in addition to being grateful, and felt something was wrong faintly. Most bartenders don't know what the source of life is. After all, only a few bartenders at the highest level have read the Famous Wine Records.
There was a icy light in Ji Dong's eyes, and Du Sikang couldn't help trembling slightly, but since he had already made a decision, it was too late to regret it. With a sudden heart, for the source of life, I don't want this old face of my own.
At this time, the staff in charge of preparing for the bartending competition had turned around and nodded to Du Sikang. Du Sikang made a gesture of invitation to Ji Dong, "Mr. Ji Dong, please."
"President Du, please." Ji Dong looked at Du Sikang, he actually quite understood what Du Sikang was thinking at this time. As a top bartender, he has been immersed in bartending all his life, and his desire for peerless wines is stronger than anyone else. Just like when he was faced with the thousand-year-old wine, he still couldn't help but taste it, so that he came to this world. Of course, if it was changed to the present, let alone a thousand-year-old brew, even a ten-thousand-year old brew would not be able to drunk him to death again.
However, as a real bartender, no matter how tempting the wine is, you must keep your heart, otherwise, your heart will be intimidated by foreign objects, and you will never be able to keep calm. Ji Dong even dared to say that even if Du Sikang, who offered the bet, had a bartending skill not inferior to his own, he had already lost half of it at this time. Because his heart has already been lost, the psychology of repaying kindness and revenge is bound to affect his mood.
Under the leadership of the staff, everyone came to a huge room. As soon as you enter the room, the first thing you smell is a tangy aroma of wine. It is the taste of the aroma of at least a thousand kinds of fine wines mixed together. Although the taste is not very strong, it will undoubtedly have some impact on bartenders who use their sense of smell as their main judgment.
In the room, two bartending platforms have been set up. Each platform is a standard semicircle with a width of one meter and an arc length of 3.5 meters. This is the bartending table used by the most standard bartenders. The semicircle is for the bartender to easily retreat when mixing drinks, and there is more space in front of him to display.
About three meters behind the bartending tables, there is a huge wine cabinet. The wine cabinet is even a bit exaggerated. At least a thousand kinds of fine wine are placed on it. Ji Dong only needs to glance at it to see that all the wines on the wine cabinet are vintage wines. That said, none of them are common base wines. Each bottle has a high price. At least one-third of them were people he had never seen since he came to this world.
Just like the Mage Guild has a rich background in magic weapons and equipment, the Bartenders Guild also has a strong strength in the accumulation of wine. Even after being robbed once by the Demon League, they were still able to produce so many good wines. It is conceivable that the Bartenders Guild definitely has more than one place to store wine. Not only in this guild.
Ten meters away from the two bartending tables and the wine cabinet, there is a circle of seats for watching the ceremony, and the whole room is brightly lit. The huge crystal palace lantern above the head clearly illuminates every bottle of fine wine on the two bartending tables and the wine cabinet.
