"I lose, I will kneel and apologize, calling myself a pig! You lose, I hope you will let bygones be bygones,"
Upon hearing Ma Dongpo's words, which were actually ant to challenge Ye Feng in mixing cocktails, Shen Jiao slightly frowned.
She knew the skills of Ma Dongpo when it ca to mixing drinks. He was considered a top-level bartender in Yalong, but even if Ye Feng could appreciate wines, becoming adept at mixing them wasn't sothing that could be achieved overnight!
In Shen Jiao's heart, she imdiately believed that Ye Feng had no chance of surpassing Ma Dongpo and was about to speak out to stop him!
However, before she could say anything, Ye Feng's voice rang out:
"Since you like kneeling like a pig so much, I'll indulge you today!"
Ye Feng's words were cold, showing no hint of emotion, but when they reached Ma Dongpo's ears, his expression stiffened, followed by a slight sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth:
"Good! Then it's agreed!"
At this mont, Ma Dongpo sneered internally, eager to let this guy know who the real pig was today!
"Agreed!" Ye Feng replied with an enigmatic smile, saying it lightly.
Seeing this scene, Shen Jiao and Nancy exchanged glances, but they knew this wager held no disadvantage for Ye Feng, so they did not intervene.
This scene had already caught the attention of the surrounding crowd. Now, seeing Ye Feng actually challenging Ma Dongpo, a renowned bartender from Yalong, even more people gathered around.
Not just them, but Alan and others approached as well, their expressions sowhat peculiar, as if they were eager to watch so drama unfold.
anwhile, the China waiter and his colleagues, who had been extrely surprised by Shen Jiao's courteous deanor towards Ye Feng, now felt worried hearing Ye Feng was going to compete against Ma Dongpo in cocktail mixing.
They knew Ma Dongpo's skill level in mixing drinks and, for the sa reason, held no hope for Ye Feng's victory.
"Excellent!" Ma Dongpo's smile broadened as he directly handed the cocktail shaker to Ye Feng and then asked him:
"Which types of liquor do you need?"
"Just use the sa ones as for Moon in Water, and add a bottle of whiskey," Ye Feng said calmly.
Hearing this, Ma Dongpo realized that Ye Feng also intended to mix Moon in Water, but his disdain grew even deeper.
The flavors of brandy and whiskey clashed, especially during the mixing process where achieving a full blend of them was extrely difficult, even for internationally acclaid bartenders!
Just by this point alone, Ma Dongpo concluded that Ye Feng was definitely a novice in cocktail mixing, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a serious mistake!
Ma Dongpo sneered, brought out all the liquors Ye Feng needed, placed them on the bar, and also brought out asuring cups and other bartending tools.
"Please, go ahead!"
At this mont, Ma Dongpo crossed his arms; he didn't need to continue mixing since his previous Moon in Water was already his finest work.
Now, all that was left was for Ye Feng to mix his drink, and the outco between the two would be revealed imdiately!
Ye Feng shrugged indifferently, then under Nancy's and Shen Jiao's anxious gazes, he picked up the bottles one by one, examining each briefly, and then picked up the cocktail shaker, slightly closing his eyes as if feeling the familiarity deep in his bones!
However, this scene, observed by others, appeared completely different; everyone thought Ye Feng was struggling or perhaps even backing down!
Yet so of the surrounding custors curved their lips into a cold smirk, so even familiar with Ma Dongpo started shouting:
"Hey kid, can you speed it up? Everyone is waiting on you! Stop pretending!"
"Yeah! If you can't do it, just concede. Losing to Dongpo is not a disgrace!"
"Heh heh... I think he cannot mix a decent drink! Look at his bitter face, he might as well give up now!"
...
Shen Jiao's pretty face turned cold at the sound of their laughter, she glanced around sharply, and the custors quickly shut their mouths!
Although Ma Dongpo and his group did not openly mock Ye Feng, their expressions were full of ridicule, and despite Shen Jiao's protection, Ye Feng still found it hard to avoid embarrassnt!
At that mont, Ye Feng was not concerned with the stares of the people around him; the mont he picked up the cocktail shaker, a series of images flashed through his mind!
The images, of his struggles while learning bartending, also included various won, all extrely beautiful, watching him mix drinks with an enchanting expression!
When Ye Feng opened his eyes, all the images in his mind disappeared, but he felt he was one step closer to regaining his mory!
At that mont, Ye Feng's gaze swept over the crowd, then he grabbed the caps of two bottles, twisted his hands, and with two pops, the caps flew off!
The scene was like magic, making everyone who saw Ye Feng's action realize the bottles were already open!
Only a pro reveals his skill imdiately!
Just that one move from Ye Feng dispelled all the scornful and mocking looks from the faces around him, a serious expression erged!
And Ma Dongpo's pupils narrowed, this was the first ti he had seen such a fast and stylish way to open bottles!
However, Ye Feng's expression remained indifferent, as if he had just done sothing trivial, his hands moved, opening one bottle after another, then each of his hands grabbed two bottles and poured them into the shaker!
This mont startled everyone; four bottles pouring at once, many thought Ye Feng was a complete novice in bartending, otherwise why would he make such a foolish move!
You see, bartending is a very precise job, the amount added of each drink is calculated; even an additional teaspoon can alter the taste of a cocktail!
Now, they did not believe that Ye Feng, pouring four bottles at once, could still be so precise!
And Ma Dongpo, whose heart had just leapt, now relaxed; if Ye Feng's opening of the bottles was pro-like, this pouring was utterly novice!
"Let's see if your cocktail is even drinkable," Ma Dongpo completely relaxed, his smirk growing richer!
And in his gaze, after Ye Feng finished pouring, rather than picking up the shaker to mix and shake, he constantly stirred it with a bar spoon!
His stirring sped up, by his actions, it hardly seed like he was bartending but rather playing a stirring ga, utterly childish!
However, under the puzzled gazes of everyone, Ye Feng gathered the bar spoon, then abruptly turned the shaker in the opposite direction!
Slap!
The shaker instantly landed on the bar, and a faint smile appeared on his face:
"Done!"
