Chapter 467: Peak within half a day of debut
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Craven cheered repeatedly, and even the old wrinkles on his face seemed to be smiling, "You are indeed a born bartender. Master, not only can he see through the essence of the matter at a glance, but he can also directly grasp the two essences depending on the matter. The rest is a matter of technique. Do you want to try it?"
Gavin smiled bitterly and shook his head. Said: "Teacher, you see too much Sorry for me, knowing the principle is one thing, but actually doing it is another thing. Let alone other things, just talking about emotional control, it is difficult for me to achieve the level of a teacher. If my own emotions If you can't mobilize, how can you infect others? "
He is a member of his family who knows his own affairs. His previous success was due to the accumulation of multiple special abilities. He is not really like Craven, who can control, Simulate various emotions.
“How come you are smart sometimes and confused sometimes.” Craven said with a smile, “Why do you have to follow my old path unchanged? Don’t you create your own bartending method? I have everything you have. There are no advantages, but you also have an advantage that I don't have, the ability to control negative energy
What's more, you also have ghost wine. Since ghost wine can even arouse other people's emotions, why can't it be used as an inducement to catalyze your own emotions?
You can use it as an auxiliary wine to reduce the difficulty of bartending.
Expanding the ways to use ghost wine, isn’t this what you want most? ”
That’s right!
I only thought about learning Craven’s method of controlling emotions freely, and completely forgot what I was good at.
Nothing comes in a pinch.
Especially for his ability, I don’t know if it involves his professional abilities or special abilities.
Before learning the other party's abilities, you can completely use the existing conditions at hand to imitate them. When the time is right, new abilities will naturally emerge.
As Craven said, doing this will help broaden the market for ghost wine. Even if he really wants to build a theme pub in the future, he will have more options than A mind-watching cocktail.
Not only can you use ghost wine as a complementary wine, but other bartenders can too.
Once it is true, as Craven said, that ghost wine can allow those bartenders to be exposed to a higher level of bartending palace in advance, they will definitely pursue ghost wine crazily, carry it with them, and use it as a bartending sacred tool.
Gavin paid tribute to Craven again: "The teacher woke me up. I was thinking wrongly before. I only wanted to get it right in one step, but I forgot to start with myself first. I think I know what to do. Now, leave the bar to me. I think I have a lot to try."
"Okay, I'm looking forward to your performance." The master and apprentice exchanged seats and identities again.
Creven looked at Gavin eagerly. He wanted to see how far this new apprentice he had accepted on a whim could achieve today?
Maybe I really introduced an extraordinary existence into the bartending industry, bringing unprecedented innovation and impact to this industry.
After entering the bar, Gavin began to adjust his state of mind, blocking out both the true purpose of his trip and the noisy external environment.
In this regard, he has a unique advantage. Don't forget, he is a psychic.
Fortunately, he actually entered a state of spiritual concentration.
This is a very special state of mind. In this state, spiritual consciousness is more concentrated than ever before, and psychic energy is more active than ever, making it easier to cast some special and powerful psychic spells.
Because Gavin’s Psion career level is too low, entering this state depends entirely on good luck. It’s good to be able to do it once or twice out of ten times.
When distracting thoughts are eliminated and the mind enters an ethereal state, thinking becomes more active than ever.
Craven’s previous bartending techniques, ingredients, and state were replayed repeatedly in his mind.
Everything else is fine, the main problem is emotional control.
If you ask yourself to imitate Craven, you will definitely not be able to learn it for a while, but when it comes to the use of negative energy, it is too simple.
Think of something that annoys you, and then use your shadow to bring in the negative energy.
A trivial matter made him furious, and his anger level soared crazily, far exceeding the feeling caused by the Flame Violence Cocktail.
But you cannot let this angry emotion control you, you must keep it under your control.
This is an extremely fragmented situation.
Extremely furious on one side and extremely calm on the other.
It is difficult to simply control your emotions, but when you enter the bartending state and have a channel to vent, unconsciously, your movements become wider and wider, as if what is dancing in your hands is not a shake. A wine vessel, but an exotic weapon.
It has become very different from Craven's previous bartending actions.
Including the order of the ingredients, because Gavin needs to add a wine that Craven has not put in before - ghost wine.
Whether it is the dosage or timing, Gavin needs to master it himself.
This time Gavin didn't make any plans, he just followed his feeling.
His experience of working with kobolds and Goliaths taught him that there is no absolute right or wrong in this kind of thing, and if you follow your feelings, you will often make the most correct choice.
Whenever he feels that his anger is about to get out of control, Gavin will channel a little shadow wine, channeling some of the emotion into it, but not injecting it all at once.
Just keep accumulating and injecting.
This also means that Gavin is not like Craven, who can finish mixing Flame Fury once, but can continue to add ingredients and mix wine continuously, just like a production line. Same.
Only tried one cup at first.
Then it became five cups.
Ten cups!
Twenty cups!
Finally reached the limit of thirty cups.
In the end, what limited Gavin’s performance was not the control of his emotions, but the size of the wine shaker.
The whole thing is a bartending production line. Even so, the supply is still in short supply.
Because the news that Master Craven personally took charge of bartending spread like wings, spreading throughout the entire Amphail Village.
No need for wings at all.
The village of Amphiel itself is the size of a palm. If you stand at the gate of the Antler Pot Tavern and roar, most of the village can hear it.
When we got together, we discovered that the person bartending wine was not Master Craven himself, but a strange young man. I was a little disappointed at first.
But when I heard that this young man was Master Craven’s new disciple.
Owner of a unique ghost wine estate.
The rare bartending genius in the world learned Master Craven's unique skills after just watching it once, and made a unique magic wine.
These magic wines use unique ghost wine.
The most important thing is that you can taste it for free.
Many of them are old drinkers with vicious eyes. Just based on the ingredients they use, regardless of their craftsmanship, they will charge at least ten gold coins in the Glory City.
Who doesn’t like free stuff?
Not to mention, it is worth at least ten gold coins. Many people will never have the opportunity to taste such an expensive cocktail in their lifetime, because it is enough to cover half a month's gross income of an adult worker.
“Line up, everyone is in line, no jumping in line, come one by one.”
“After drinking, if you want to be drunk, go to the Marande intersection to do so. , who didn’t drink enough, went to the back of the queue. Father Craven said, as long as Mr. Gavin’s adjustment As long as the wine doesn’t stop, our free delivery will continue.”
“Little Guitou, what are you doing? You’re not even as tall as my thighs, so you want to drink, go, go, have fun. Adult drinks are not for you. Go home and drink milk from your mother.”
Don't look at the six waitresses at the Antler Pot Tavern. In front of Gavin, all of them had smiles like flowers, and looked well-behaved and quiet.
When it gets really busy, especially when faced with chaotic scenes, the little wildcats will hold their waists and give orders loudly at the door of the tavern, sharp and fast, just like the ones on their hands. The action is the same. The doors of the Antler Pot Tavern near the long road were all opened, turning the bar directly into a semi-open air. Gavin's smooth bartending process was displayed directly in front of everyone like a juggling act.
This design is of course to facilitate attracting customers. The local residents who patronize this place only account for one-third of the customer base, and the remaining two-thirds mainly come from long-term customers. Some of the business travelers passing by were in a hurry and did not have time to stop in the tavern, but they could still squeeze in a few minutes to have a quick drink and replenish some drinks for the road.
Creven doesn't care about the tavern's income, but the waiters who work here do, so they naturally think of ways to increase their business income.
In the countryside, there is no such thing as kindness. Even a child with his buttocks still exposed is not afraid of the waitress at all. Instead, he argued with reason: "You just said there would be a queue, and now because the child won't be given to us, you Isn't this bullying a child? We are in line, no, you have to give it to us."
"Your adults let you drink? "
" Hehe, it was my dad who asked me to queue up. I don't want to drink, so I can give it to my dad. "
"Here is an apple and a glass of wine. Choose one of the two. You choose.”
“Of course I choose apples. I can’t drink wine. I can eat apples by myself.”
These children naturally have their own little calculations. Compared with a compliment from their father, a big, round apple is more attractive.
Everyone also laughed kindly and did not embarrass these children.
As the sun sets, more and more people who have gone out to work return, and the Marande intersection becomes completely lively. People are no longer just queuing up to taste wine, but have turned the place into a bonfire party scene.
Those men who were in high spirits began their best wrestling and fighting games.
The violent flames completely ignite their emotions, and they are particularly fond of fighting bravely.
The most eye-catching one is a woman. She has dark skin and is more than 2.4 meters tall. Even if she is placed in Goliath, she is as tall as one. She has long hands and long legs, and has the same height as Goliath. Agility that doesn't match his size.
This woman named Delala immediately became the unshakable master of the ring. Many people were thrown out by her with one hand, especially after a cup of flames was violently consumed, they became even more excited. It's a one-on-one battle.
Those men who want to save face can't stand this stimulation, and they can't wait to end.
The result is that the faster you go in, the faster you fly out.
Fortunately, she was just excited and not crazy. She did not lose her mind and used clever force when throwing people away.
Each of them looked like they had fallen miserably, but in fact they all hit the ground first with rough skin and thick flesh, and no vital parts were injured.
The noise in Amphier Village lasted until late at night, until the 20 kilogram barrel of ghost wine that Gavin brought as a cooking wine was used up.
The crowd dispersed and the Antler Pot Tavern closed. Gavin, who had been mixing wine for five or six hours, was in high spirits. Not only did he not look tired at all, but he was full of energy as never before.
And the waitresses, all looking like they were almost paralyzed from exhaustion, were lying on the bar, refusing to move even half a step.
As for the six female mages, they returned to the family manor shortly after dark. They had missions, and they had taken a break from their busy schedule.
Moreover, they have now basically confirmed the authenticity of Gavin's identity. The fact that he wants to eat a large number of horses is not a boast or a joke. It is very likely to be true.
This matter must be notified to the elders in the family as soon as possible and let them make a decision. This kind of matter must be preempted as soon as possible, because they are not the only ones raising horses in Amphier Village. They are the only ones raising horses. One of the famous families.
The Ancasra family, the Ilzimer family, the Janskzer family and the Tam family all own large horse farms here, as well as some small and medium-sized independent horse farm owners. The horse market here is competitive. Very intense.
In this matter, they made a mistake and had the upper hand. They must continue to expand this advantage. Once this happens, their benefits will definitely be indispensable.
"Thank you for your selfless help today. I have nothing to repay, so let me make a glass of water of life for you. Luna, a natural blessing, the ultimate infusion." Gavin pushed a glass of water in front of Luna.
"Okay." Luna enthusiastically guided the natural power in her body and poured it into it continuously.
She also followed the waitresses and worked hard for a long time, but she didn't look tired at all. On the contrary, she was full of energy.
In addition to the difference in physical constitution, the most important reason is that her body has a steady stream of natural power to support and nourish her.
As long as she keeps the power of nature constant, she can go without eating, drinking or resting. This is a special ability given to her by the characteristics of plants.
With a backhand, Gavin filled the glass with natural water and poured it into the shaker as the main seasoning. With the shaking of his arms, various condiments were added in a smooth flow, and finally added Had a little wine.
In less than a minute, seven medium cups of cocktails were placed in front of seven people. The liquid was green, crystal clear, and exuded a light fruity aroma. Just smelling it made people feel energetic.
The seven people were not polite, just picked it up and took one gulp. Everyone suddenly felt their eyes light up, and a burst of vitality exploded in their stomachs. With the rapid absorption of the wine, most of the fatigue on their bodies dissipated. , especially the six waitresses feel the most real.
Everyone couldn't help but stretched and said: "Ha, I feel like I am alive again. If I have a busy day in the future, having such a glass of fruit wine will be the greatest enjoyment."
"What did Mr. Gavin just call it?"
"The water of life."
"This is a good name, and it lives up to its name."
"Congratulations to Mr. Gavin, you are not just a beginner in bartending, but you are ready to practice bartending. You are so happy to learn and use it to create your own unique cocktail. You have made history. The record for the fastest start in history, no one can beat it.”
“Hey, I used to feel like a genius, just like Mr. Gavin. For a sum of money, we are just a bunch of local chickens who have never seen the world."
"Haha... you just know, I have told you a long time ago, we live in this world just to make up for it. A genius like Mr. Wen serves as the background of the canvas."
At the end, these waitresses could not hide their self-deprecation in their words.
There was nothing I could do, Gavin hit me too hard.
I have worked hard for ten years and achieved nothing, but others reached their peak within half a day of their debut.
As the person involved, Gavin couldn't come forward to comfort him in this situation. He could only divert his attention. He bowed to Craven respectfully and said, "Thank you, teacher, for your help. I I think I have found my bartending path, and all that is left is to continue to explore and hone it.”
He is a smart man and understands that Craven did not take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune before. The profound meaning of free wine.
This not only helps him build a reputation, but also brings him closer to the villagers of Amphail Village.
From now on, he is no longer a stranger who first came to Amphier Village, but a disciple of Craven, a bold and promising young man. No matter what he wants to do here, it will be much more convenient.
Although this master-disciple relationship came in a hurry, the other person's teaching and support came from the bottom of his heart.
Although such good people are not rare animals in Faerûn, they are also rare.
"This is the first time I have seen your growth rate in my seventy-six years of life. From the beginning to the end, I have never taught you anything. It was all you who realized it. I have a little bit of this teacher. I can't bear it." Craven said from the bottom of his heart.
At the beginning, he was purely out of curiosity and wanted to help the younger generation. He didn't expect that this casual support would lead to a super genius.
Apprentice as a teacher in the afternoon and leave as a teacher in the evening.
This teacher, he seems to be qualified, but he seems not to be qualified at all.
Forget about the weird and awkward feelings in my heart.
"Teacher, please don't say that." Gavin said hurriedly, "I just have my own ideas about the future path, and my method is to follow the gourd. I know what is beyond this. Very rarely, the classification and use of some alcoholic beverages and the preparation methods of some mature cocktails require consultation with teachers. ”
Hearing what Gavin said, Craven's face suddenly looked better. At least he was not useless. He smiled and said: "If you want to learn in the future, just come to Xuanlu to find me. I will usually be here. Today It’s getting late. Let Ella clean up the two rooms for you and have a night’s rest. If you have anything to do, wait until tomorrow.”
"Then I'll trouble you, teacher." Gavin didn't refuse.
Although taverns are mainly engaged in the sale of alcohol, they usually have several guest rooms in case of emergencies, and the Antler Pot Tavern is obviously no exception.
The progress of this trip to Anfield Village has been extremely fast. Starting the situation on that day was far beyond his plan. The rest can be planned slowly. He has prepared for himself this time. , which is quite abundant.
