Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 260: Snatching Wine


Seeing Chu Ge actually start bartending, Mu Lingshan grew more curious, yet outwardly she pretended to be indifferent, casting her gaze over.

Upon seeing, Mu Lingshan felt speechless and amused again - is this called bartending?

Watching other bartenders, they use both hands to perform dazzling, beautiful moves, tossing shakers up and down, like a spectacular acrobatic display, it's practically a visual feast.

However, at this moment, Chu Ge was unhurried, his hands could even be described as leisurely. While it seemed rhythmic, where was the flair or eye-catching moves?

Rather than bartending, Mu Lingshan thought this scene looked more like an old man toying with exercise balls.

It wasn't just Mu Lingshan who thought this; most of the onlookers also shared this opinion, except for one person - Guo Hao, who was qualified as a bartender technician. His face was filled with excitement and thrill.

Even though Chu Ge had just started bartending, Guo Hao was already watching in rapture.

Some who initially found it boring and looked disdainfully at Chu Ge, seeing Guo Hao's expressions, forced themselves to keep watching, pretending to understand.

Mu Lingshan glanced at Guo Hao, then back at Chu Ge, feeling even more speechless. She really couldn't understand why faced with Chu Ge's monotonous, simple, leisurely moves that seemed devoid of technical content, Guo Hao was so excited.

Amidst skeptical glances, a few minutes passed, and Chu Ge looked up and smiled at Guo Hao, "Done."

"Done?"

Before Guo Hao could speak, Mu Lingshan and several others were initially taken aback, then instinctively asked, with a tone of indescribable confusion, looking at Chu Ge with a strange gaze.

In their view, the drink Chu Ge had just concocted looked neither brightly colored nor layered - it was... it was like a glass of water.

Unlike others' doubts, Guo Hao's face was already flushed with excitement. As a bartender technician, he could see what others couldn't.

"Master, could I have the honor of lighting this drink?"

Chu Ge smiled and nodded.

With a "click," a lighter in Guo Hao's hand sparked, sweeping across the calm surface of the glass, the liquid inside immediately transformed, a bright flame ignited, and the glass seemed to turn into a candle.

Watching the burning flame, everyone felt duped - what's new about this?

A few individuals gave an eye-roll to the still composed Chu Ge and turned to leave.

However, just as these people walked a short distance away, a series of exclamations and gasps arose from behind.

"Oh my! So beautiful!"

"Is this... is this really a drink? It's simply a work of art!"

"I've been clubbing for so many years, this is the first time I've seen such a drink! A master is truly a master!"

"Just witnessing this scene made today's night worthwhile!"

Hearing these comments, the few who had left quickly turned back, eager to see what had happened. But unfortunately, by the time they hurried back to the table, the drink had already returned to looking like a mere glass of water.

If it weren't for the uniformly amazed and awe-struck expressions on everyone's face around them, they would've thought everyone was playing a joke on them.

At this moment, no one was more amazed than Mu Lingshan. Even having seen it with her own eyes, she felt like she was dreaming - the scene just now was too beautiful, like a dream!

As the exclamations and gasps echoed around Chu Ge's table, everyone in the bar was drawn in, quickly surrounding the table several layers deep. The newcomers asked the earlier ones what had happened, eagerly trying to peek inside.

Guo Hao asked Chu Ge several questions in agitation, and Chu Ge responded with a smile to each, then continued to mix a "Seascape Horizon."

This time, though his moves were still not flashy, anyone present dared not underestimate him, all holding their breath, as if witnessing the birth of a great miracle, excited and quietly, eagerly watching every move he made.

When "Seas and Sky Intersect" was masterfully mixed by Chu Ge, the entire scene erupted with waves of cheers and whistles. Even the bar owner was drawn in, craning his neck to see inside and inquiring with familiar customers.

Guo Hao was also beyond excited. He really did not expect that these two evidently challenging drinks would be successfully mixed by Chu Ge in one go!

Watching Chu Ge, who appeared calm and was smiling, Mu Lingshan was utterly dumbfounded.

So this guy is really that amazing? Putting aside the monotonous actions during the mixing, the visual impact and the aroma in the air from these two drinks were simply mesmerising, making her almost want to applaud!

Her gaze shifted from Chu Ge's face to the two cocktails on the table. Even though Mu Lingshan wasn't a drink enthusiast, she couldn't help but lick her lips, desperately wanting to taste these beautifully named and even more beautifully presented cocktails prepared by Chu Ge.

However, given her relationship with Chu Ge, she was too shy to make such a request.

Seeing Mu Lingshan's expression, Chu Ge immediately knew what she was thinking. With his trademark smile, he pushed the two drinks towards her, "Want to try?"

Mu Lingshan blushed. Although Chu Ge's tone was casual, she couldn't help but feel awkward, as if Chu Ge was teasing her.

She intended to refuse, but the allure of those two drinks was just too strong. Yet accepting them made her feel a bit too embarrassed.

Mu Lingshan was in a dilemma, she glanced at Chu Ge with pursed lips, visibly conflicted, and after several seconds, she reluctantly said, "No need, I'm not interested."

As soon as Mu Lingshan said that, she regretted it. Around her, several customers who had been eyeing those two drinks were overjoyed and began to speak up.

"Master, if your friend isn't drinking, could you sell those two drinks to me? Name your price?" A well-mannered man said politely.

"Are you kidding me, you want both drinks? That's greedy! Master, I just want one glass, look..."

A rugged-looking man shot a glare at the first speaker, then turned to Chu Ge with an earnest plea in his eyes, speaking politely.

Soon, more and more people started chiming in, calling out "Master" with admiration and anticipation, appealing to Chu Ge for those two drinks.

Chu Ge glanced at Mu Lingshan, "You're really not going to drink? Can I sell these two drinks then?"

Although Guo Hao had paid for these drinks, he had made it clear earlier that he just wanted to see the drink mixing process, so these drinks belonged to Chu Ge, and it was his decision whom to give them to.

"I..." Mu Lingshan was even more conflicted. Even if she wanted to pretend she didn't care, her eyes couldn't stray away from the two drinks, betraying her true thoughts.

"Smack" A customer slapped a thousand yuan on the table.

"Master, is this enough? Please, sell me that Fleeting Clouds?"

Seeing someone lay down cash, the crowd around the table seemed suddenly awakened and each took out their wallets, eagerly pleading and causing a chaotic scene, with piles of red banknotes quickly stacking up on the table.

Amidst the looks of expectation from the people around, Chu Ge slowly and calmly picked up the "Fleeting Clouds", glanced at Mu Lingshan, smiled, and said, "If you're not drinking, I'll..."

"Alright, alright, seeing how sincere you are, I'll reluctantly accept,"

Mu Lingshan's cheeks reddened. She quickly uttered the words and swiftly grabbed the glass from Chu Ge's hand, her movement precise, as if afraid Chu Ge might change his mind and let someone else have the drink.

Seeing Mu Lingshan eventually took the "Fleeting Clouds," the others around couldn't help but show deep disappointment, their eyes now fixed on the "Seas and Sky Intersect", each eager to compete for it.

Unfortunately, amidst all the eager gazes, Chu Ge picked up the glass, cast a slight smile at Mu Lingshan, and without saying anything, placed it before her on the table.

With his keen eyes, how could he not see that Mu Lingshan was equally interested in the "Seas and Sky Intersect"? His mention of selling the drinks earlier was just to tease this little policewoman and see her conflicted expression.

Looking at the drink placed in front of her by Chu Ge, Mu Lingshan's face turned even redder, suddenly feeling that this guy could be quite thoughtful, and perhaps... wasn't so annoying after all.

Seeing both drinks out of reach, the people around almost wanted to curse, casting jealous glances at Mu Lingshan but also helplessly accepting the stacks of cash Chu Ge returned.

Just as the crowd regretfully prepared to leave, a very trendy-looking man in his thirties finally squeezed through and gave Chu Ge a courteous smile.

"Master, sorry to disturb. I'm the owner of this bar. Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, I wanted to ask if you could mix two more drinks for us? We could auction your drinks, of course, without the bar taking any commission. What do you think?"
