Seeing this person, Wei Hong hurriedly went forward and said a few words in his ear. Ji Dong's six senses were extremely sharp and he heard all of Wei Hong's words. The other only described what had just happened and didn't exaggerate or hide anything.
The middle-aged man in the lead nodded when he heard Wei Hong's words. Wei Hong immediately retreated to the back. The middle-aged man strode forward and quickly arrived in front of Ji Dong.
At this time, there were more and more onlookers. More than half of the street was already blocked.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Hello little brother, I am the vice president of the Central Plains City branch of the Bartenders Guild, Chen Xiao. May I know who you are?"
"Ji Dong." Ji Dong's answer was very simple. He only said his name.
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I have already heard about what happened just now from the bartender Wei Hong. First, I represent the Bartenders Guild to formally apologize to you for what Night Sorrow said before." As he spoke, he actually bowed slightly towards Ji Dong.
Chen Xiao's actions instantly received unanimous praise from the onlookers.
"Great Master Chen Xiao, I … …" Night Sorrow wanted to defend himself but was stopped by Chen Xiao's slightly cold gaze.
"Great Master?" Ji Dong's mouth twitched. He had seen many people who called themselves Great Masters, but how many true Great Masters were there? Chen Xiao's hands did attract his attention, but in his eyes, this was far from enough to be a power that could be used against him.
Chen Xiao still had a smile on his face and said, "The two words" Great Master "are just praise from my friends. This one doesn't deserve it. However, little friend Ji Dong blocking the front door of the Bartenders Guild doesn't seem to be appropriate. How about we go in and talk? You can use the Three Suns Reflect the Moon technique. I sincerely hope to be able to invite you to become a member of the guild. "
Ji Dong shook his head and said, "There's no need. I have no interest in joining the Bartenders Guild. Please take a look at my words. If you don't dare to accept my challenge, I can just turn around and leave. If you accept, Mr. Wei Hong has already told you the outcome of the bet."
As soon as he said that, the group of advanced bartenders behind Chen Xiao immediately rebuked him. If the Bartenders Guild didn't accept the challenge in front of so many people, wouldn't they be admitting that they were inferior to Ji Dong? What face would they have left? But even if he won, Ji Dong was only a teenager, and it would give people the suspicion that he had an unfair advantage.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but frown as well, and he said, "Young Brother Ji Dong, do you really have to force us?"
"You're forcing me?" Ji Dong smiled. He did not respond to Night Sorrow's provocation. With a smile, he stared at Chen Xiao and said, "I forced you, so what? If you have the ability, you can do it too. " This was the pride of the God of Wine. This was the first time that even Carr and Bissou had seen this side of Ji Dong. That strong confidence and arrogance that left no way out also infected them.
Chen Xiao's expression turned cold, and he said, "If that's the case, then please state the rules. How do you want to compete?"
Ji Dong smiled faintly and said, "There isn't much equipment here. I will only use one method of mixing wine. If you can do it, or if you can do it to a similar level, then you win. If you can't, then you lose."
Chen Xiao did not say anything else. He took a step back and made a gesture, saying, "Please." Even though Ji Dong was only fourteen years old, being able to use the Three Suns Reflect the Moon technique was enough to make them take him seriously. Moreover, from the looks of it, the method that Ji Dong suggested was extremely beneficial to the Bartenders Guild.
In the field of bartending, everyone had their own cocktail that they were good at. There was no doubt about this. Right now, there were seven or eight people on the side of the Bartenders Guild. As long as one of them could use the same method as Ji Dong, they would win. Chen Xiao had already thought it through. Not only did they have to win this competition, they had to win beautifully. They could not damage the reputation of the Central Plains City branch.
Ji Dong calmly took out nine highwave glasses from his storage bracelet and placed them behind the nine shakers. When Chen Xiao saw the storage bracelet on his hand, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of surprise. He thought to himself, this youth is not only a bartender, but also a Yin And Yang Magician. Could it be that he is a disciple of a large family? Fire element? A noble of the Southern Fire Empire?
Naturally, Ji Dong did not know what the people in front of him were thinking. After placing the nine highwave glasses on the table, he turned his wrist and a bottle of wine appeared in his hand. It was a transparent and colorless 15-year-old Vodka. When he opened the nine crystal shakers, everyone from the Bartenders Guild, including Chen Xiao, had a serious expression on their faces.
They were all experts, so they could naturally tell that Ji Dong was using nine shakers to mix cocktails at the same time. There was no doubt about the difficulty. When mixing cocktails, one must ensure a stable technique in order to mix the various ingredients in the shaker in the best way and complete the mixing. Using multiple shakers at the same time required the control of each shaker when mixing cocktails.
The Bartender Guild had a total of nine star exams. One of the most basic exams was to mix a cocktail at the same time. The number of stars a bartender had to use at the same time. Of course, this was only a basic exam, but it showed how difficult it was for Ji Dong to choose nine cocktails at the same time. It was one of the exams that only nine-star bartenders had to take!
Chen Xiao thought to himself. He could manage to use nine shakers at the same time, but even if he tried his best, he could not guarantee success every time. If this young man really did it, the Central Plains City branch would lose face today. It was a pity that the branch president was not here. With his eight-star strength, he should be able to deter this young man. A fine layer of cold sweat began to appear on Chen Xiao's forehead. He secretly prayed in his heart that Ji Dong would not be able to make the cocktail this time.
As the saying goes, when a connoisseur reaches out his hand, there is nothing he can do. When Ji Dong picked up the Vodka bottle and poured it into the nine shakers, all the bartenders began to watch his movements attentively.
Ji Dong's hands were not as beautiful as Chen Xiao's, but they were extremely stable. His eyes were like the most accurate ruler. Not only did the Vodka pour nine times in a row, but not a single drop spilled out. Moreover, the liquor in the nine crystal shakers was exactly the same, no more, no less.
The crystal flask was colorless and transparent, and it was done in front of so many people. It was impossible to use any tricks. Moreover, Ji Dong's movements were very slow, as if he was deliberately letting everyone see what he was doing.
Vodka took up four-tenths of all the ingredients. Ji Dong poured in three more ingredients, one-tenth of raspberry syrup, four-tenths of Cointreau orange-flavored wine, and one-tenth of lime juice.
Without a doubt, the four ingredients that Ji Dong used were the most common ones used to make cocktails. According to the proportions that he distributed, the bartenders of the Bartenders Guild in front of them, even the lowest-ranking Night Sorrow, could recognize this cocktail.
Night Sorrow curled his lips with some disdain and said, "Isn't it just a glass of Sunfall?"
At this time, not only were there more and more people watching, but many low-level bartenders from the Bartenders Guild also walked out and surrounded the back. How could they not know that high-level bartenders had appeared together in front of the door? This was the first time that someone had come to challenge the Central Plains branch to a bartender.
Even now, Ji Dong's movements were still calm and unruffled as he covered the flasks one by one. Night Sorrow was disdainful of this ordinary cocktail, but the expressions of the senior bartenders, led by Vice President Chen Xiao, became more and more serious. They all knew that the better a bartender was, the more they could show off their superb skills in mixing ordinary ingredients. Different bartenders mixed the same ingredients, and the taste would definitely be different. Ji Dong had chosen to mix the Fallen of the Sun, so there had to be something unique about it.
After covering all the shakers, Ji Dong's movements stopped. He quietly looked at the nine shakers in front of him. At this moment, everything in the outside world had been completely isolated. In his eyes and consciousness, there were only the existence of these nine shakers. His breathing rhythm also adjusted accordingly, and his spirit was completely at its peak under his effective control.
Perhaps influenced by Ji Dong, the surrounding people also quieted down. They all widened their eyes and prepared to see what skills this young man who dared to publicly challenge the Bartenders Guild had.
Ji Dong took a deep breath. Under everyone's gaze, he finally began. His right hand flashed, and he had already grabbed the first shaker. With a flick of his wrist, the shaker flew into the air, followed by the second, the third, … all the way to the ninth shaker. Even though there were a total of nine shakers, Ji Dong's lightning-fast movements didn't give people a sense of abruptness. When the last shaker was thrown into the air, the first shaker also fell.
Ji Dong took half a step back, and with a flick of his left hand, the shaker that had fallen first flew into the air again. Moreover, it spun rapidly in the air. His arms were fully extended, and he caught the shakers one by one before throwing them into the air again.
He stood firmly on the ground without moving an inch, but his upper body began to sway like a lotus leaf in the wind. With his waist as the axis, he swung his arms. His waist, back, shoulders, arms, palms, and fingers — every part of his body began to move. The nine shakers miraculously began to dance around his body with extreme dexterity.
In the beginning, it was still possible to see it clearly. Sometimes it was left, sometimes it was right, sometimes it was up, and sometimes it was down. But soon, everything turned into an illusory brilliance. It was no longer possible to see where his hands and arms were. Only the sparkling orange-red shakers could be seen dancing and changing in the air.
Exclamations of surprise rose one after another. To the public, everything that Ji Dong was doing was simply a miracle. Those were nine shakers! Even the slightest mistake would immediately lead to the collapse of the shakers. However, the shakers continued to revolve around his body like dragons, and they were spinning rapidly like orange-red discs.
Ji Dong was like a whirlpool of power, constantly sucking these shakers and manipulating them like his arms and fingers. His eyes were as calm as still water, and he did not look at these shakers. The position of each shaker was under his control. As they danced and surged rapidly, the orange-red radiance became more and more intense, and the crystal shakers reflected dazzling brilliance under the sun.
Suddenly, Ji Dong shouted softly, and his movements doubled in an instant. Even an experienced bartender like Chen Xiao could not see his movements clearly. He only felt that Ji Dong's entire upper body had left countless afterimages.
In the resounding exclamations of the public, the nine shakers seemed to have stopped in the air, forming a parabolic arc, and at the same time, they stopped rotating rapidly in the air, like nine suns shining on Ji Dong's head at the same time.
Of course, the nine shakers could not stop. All of this was created by Ji Dong's amazing skills.
Boom …
Thunderous applause sounded. Even the city guards, who had rushed over upon discovering the sudden gathering of the crowd, could not help but cheer excitedly. No one was willing to destroy this miraculous scene in front of them, and the people of the Bartenders Guild were already dumbfounded.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang …
Amidst nine crisp collisions, the nine suns in the sky seemed to have fallen at the same time. Amidst the nine soft sounds, they landed steadily on the table in front of Ji Dong, and the position where they landed was exactly the same as when they left, as if they were originally there.
Ji Dong's upper body swayed a few times before he gradually stabilized. At this time, the calmness in his eyes had turned into an unparalleled fanaticism.
He succeeded. Yes, he succeeded. In this reborn world, for the first time, he used one of the most complicated bartending techniques in his previous life. Not long ago, he used this technique to amaze everyone at the International Bartending Conference, establishing himself as the pride of a generation's God of Wine. After living in this world for four years, he finally completed it for the first time. At this moment, the blood in Ji Dong's body was completely boiling, and steam was even rising from his head. Sweat flowed down his face, but it was all worth it.
In fact, Ji Dong could have used a slightly simpler bartending technique to complete this challenge to the Bartenders Guild, but he did not do so. What he wanted was the limit, the limit that no one could match. When he wrote on the white cloth, he had already decided to use this technique to restore his bartending skills to its peak. Even if he did not have the slightest confidence in the beginning, he still made this choice. This was the pride of a generation's God of Wine, the pride that belonged only to Ji Dong, and it turned out that he had succeeded.
