On the drinks menu, the main drinks highlighted in the most prominent spot are actually two drinks he randomly invented before, "Fleeting Clouds" and "Skyline."
Presumably, someone who had seen these two drinks before in the Encounter Bar had done some research and brought them here.
If it was just that, it wouldn't be much, but what really made Chu Ge laugh was that he thought these two drinks were completely out of sync with the style of this bar.
A bar with such a strong American western rugged style actually featured these two artistically styled drinks, even as the main offerings, it's like 'elegant art appreciating crude folk music.'
To put it simply, it's like eating western cuisine in a steamed bun shop, with coffee on one side and soy sauce and vinegar on the other, lobsters and abalone to the left, buns and garlic to the right, such a mix really is weird.
Seeing Chu Ge looking at the drinks menu with an amused expression, Qin Ruoying couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother-in-law, what's so funny?"
Chu Ge smiled and said, "Oh, nothing, I just feel the signature drinks of this bar don't quite match the atmosphere here."
Qin Ruoying glanced at the drinks menu and laughed along with Chu Ge, "You're right, it's exactly like that. I wonder how the bar owner is so peculiar, not only with a strange bar name but also featuring such artistically styled drinks as the main offerings in such a rugged-style bar."
Both of them were speaking normally, their voices were not loud but not too quiet either. Hearing their conversation, several well-dressed men at the next table couldn't help but frown, even though Qin Ruoying, a beauty, was sitting at the table, they still cast unfriendly glances at them.
Meanwhile, the waitress waiting for them to order spoke up.
"Sir, Miss, I don't mean to offend you, but I hope you don't disparage these two drinks. If you try them, you will definitely fall in love with them. They are an incredibly delightful taste, and they are only available in limited quantities each day. If you don't decide soon, you might not have the chance to drink them."
Chu Ge chuckled secretly, thinking to himself that since he invented these two drinks, doesn't he know how they taste?
However, Chu Ge didn't say much more. He gave Qin Ruoying an inquisitive look, and seeing her somewhat interested expression, he nodded to the cowgirl waitress, "Then give me two of each."
"Alright, please wait for a moment."
The cowgirl waitress replied and turned around with a dismissive look on her face, thinking these two people were so ignorant to find these drinks amusing?
These two drinks were personally mixed by their boss, and precisely because of them, their business became so booming. Just a few days after opening, more and more customers started coming specifically for these drinks, including seasoned wine connoisseurs. Every customer who tasted these drinks couldn't stop praising them.
Hmph, once they've tried these two drinks, they'll realize how ridiculous their words just now were.
Soon, the cowgirl waitress returned to the table and carefully took out two glasses of "Skyline" and two glasses of "Fleeting Clouds" from the tray, gently placing them on the table.
Qin Ruoying looked at the two glasses in front of her and was immediately attracted by the appearance of the "Skyline," letting out a surprised exclamation, "Wow, this drink is so beautiful. It really gives a sense of a skyline."
Chu Ge smiled, Qin Ruoying's words were a kind of acknowledgment for him as the inventor, naturally putting him in a good mood.
After speaking, Qin Ruoying turned her gaze to the seemingly ordinary "Fleeting Clouds."
Because of the brilliance of "Skyline," even though the "Fleeting Clouds" appeared just like a glass of clear water, she did not instinctively judge it as a failed creation.
Curiously examining the "Skyline," Qin Ruoying then turned her eyes to the waiting cowgirl waitress and asked, "Miss, this drink... should have some special meaning, right?"
Hearing Qin Ruoying's question, the cowgirl waitress showed a slight hint of pride, thinking she has some insight, and nodded, "This drink is called 'Fleeting Clouds' because initially, it seems plain, but once a flame skirts across its surface, it unfolds into a dreamlike, colorful mist, a beauty I simply can't describe with words."
With this answer, Qin Ruoying's interest in the "Fleeting Clouds" grew significantly, exclaiming, "Really that miraculous?"
The cowgirl waitress nodded, "Once you see it with your own eyes, you'll understand how beautiful that scene is, but that's not even its most unique feature. Once the colorful mist dissipates, this drink will revert to its usual plain appearance, living up to its beautiful name, truly like a fleeting cloud."
Looking at the talkative cowgirl waitress, who was clearly full of admiration for "Fleeting Clouds," and then at Qin Ruoying, who was now staring at "Fleeting Clouds" with strong interest yet some skepticism, Chu Ge couldn't help feeling quite pleased.
He never thought that a drink he originally created to impress girls would be lauded to such heights by others.
After listening to the introduction about the "Fleeting Clouds", Qin Ruoying couldn't wait any longer. She smiled and nodded at the cowgirl, "Thank you for the explanation, beautiful. Please help me order this drink."
Seeing Qin Ruoying's eager expression, the cowgirl smiled and said, "My pleasure," then took out a lighter. With a "click", a bright flame swept across the calm surface of the glass.
Soon, changes occurred in the glass. It was misty and dreamy, and Qin Ruoying's eyes sparkled as she excitedly grabbed Chu Ge's arm, exclaiming in awe.
"Brother-in-law, look, look, what a beautiful drink! I've never seen such a beautiful drink before!"
Chu Ge chuckled and looked at the changes in the glass. But he noticed the mist only lasted a few seconds and then ended. The color changes were also less than when he made it, and the fragrance wasn't as rich as his version of "Fleeting Clouds". It was evident that there were some problems in its preparation.
Not only Chu Ge and Qin Ruoying were watching, but other customers at nearby tables also turned their attention to it, their eyes filled with dazzling admiration.
When the mist above the glass dissipated, the cowgirl said, "Enjoy your drinks," before leaving the table, and the surrounding customers reluctantly moved their gazes away.
Even though they had seen this scene before, no matter how many times they witnessed it, everyone was still mesmerized.
Moreover, in their view, the "Fleeting Clouds" served at this table was apparently very well-made. The mist lasted such a long time; these two were really lucky.
"Brother-in-law, did you see that? The mist was so pretty, but it was too short-lived. Can you let me order your drink too?"
Hearing Qin Ruoying say this, the cowgirl, who had just left the table, paused in her steps, and some of the other customers around had expressions that could only be described as speechless.
This girl is just too unsatisfied, isn't she? Her drink was clearly very successful, even a masterpiece, yet she still complained the mist was too short?
For Qin Ruoying's little request, Chu Ge had no objections. He smiled, took out a lighter, and lit his drink in front of him.
Very soon, Qin Ruoying's exclamations were heard again, but unfortunately, the mist from this drink lasted even shorter, almost vanishing instantly.
"Oh brother-in-law, my drink's mist was short enough, but yours is even shorter. I hadn't even looked enough, and it disappeared already."
Qin Ruoying, supporting her chin with one hand, watched the last of the mist completely vanish, looking quite disappointed and saying regretfully.
Chu Ge grinned and said, "Didn't see enough? No problem, brother-in-law will let you watch a bit more."
Qin Ruoying thought Chu Ge was going to buy her another drink and shook her head, "Brother-in-law, forget it. It's not worth spending another drink's money for just a few seconds."
Chu Ge wagged a finger, "Who said it's just a few seconds? Do you believe brother-in-law can make the mist on this drink last for a minute?"
Qin Ruoying was taken aback, "A minute? Brother-in-law, are you kidding me?"
Facing Qin Ruoying's somewhat confused gaze, Chu Ge didn't answer immediately but teased her curiosity a little, then took a sip of the "Fleeting Clouds" in front of him.
As expected, just like he anticipated, although this drink wasn't just for show, its taste compared to his was much inferior.
Moistening his throat, Chu Ge put down the glass, "This drink is too mediocre, neither the presentation nor the taste is good. Let brother-in-law make you one."
This time, after Chu Ge finished speaking, the customers at the surrounding tables all twitched at the corners of their mouths, almost unanimously looking over at him. Their gazes were not just unfriendly anymore but carried a bit of ridicule and anger.
Any one of them was here for the renowned "Fleeting Clouds" and "Ocean Line". After tasting these two drinks, they all felt these were decidedly the best-tasting drinks they had ever had.
Yet this guy was gulping down this exquisite drink without appreciating it and even... even expressing such disdain for this top-class cocktail?
This, indeed, is quite an audacious claim!
