The system displayed, "The draught beer will be supplied in unlimited quantity during the business hours."
"Unlimited quantity? No wonder. "Yuan Zhou then understood.
"What's the price?" Yuan Zhou continued asking.
The system displayed, "The draught beer is 302 RMB per cup."
"That's not right. Usually, the price is always 8 or 6. Why did it change to 2 this time?" Yuan Zhou noticed the problem as soon as he saw the price.
However, the system didn't answer Yuan Zhou's question.
After checking the draught beer, Yuan Zhou went to the second floor directly and carried a barrel of beer upstairs conveniently. After all, he couldn't let Shin Min carry the beer for him. One should know that the barrel weighed at least 60 KG. Plus the wooden barrel, it was almost 70 KG.
As soon as he went upstairs, Yuan Zhou immediately saw a row of glass mugs in the bar counter. They were all thin at the bottom and thick at the top. Each mug could hold 600 ml of beer.
"This beer mug is really nice." Yuan Zhou put down the barrel and picked up a mug thoughtfully.
The mug in Yuan Zhou's hand wasn't small, but only such a mug could better reflect the taste, foam and unique fragrance of the beer.
However, the mug was indeed bigger. A mug of 600 ml was even more than a big bottle of beer.
"302 RMB per cup and unlimited quantity. It seems that I have to consider it carefully." Yuan Zhou put down the mug lightly and then went back to the kitchen.
With such thoughts in his mind, Yuan Zhou didn't sculpt in the morning. Instead, he tidied up the first floor of the pub. Even though the system had cleaned the dust when it rewarded him, Yuan Zhou still cleaned it again as he was obsessed with cleanliness.
The whole morning passed while Yuan Zhou was cleaning. The lunchtime came and ended on time. In the afternoon, Yuan Zhou took out the ice cubes he had prepared last night and prepared to sculpt.
That's right. Yuan Zhou also prepared to practice sculpting ice. After all, it could help him improve his sculpting skills.
In order to sculpt well, Yuan Zhou had watched many videos of ice sculpting experts recently, hoping to get some inspiration from them.
However, he didn't get any inspiration. Instead, he discovered something else.
First of all, most of the videos that Yuan Zhou could find on the Internet were foreign. Moreover, the protagonists of these ice sculptures were not chefs. There were artists, sculptors, bartenders, and other professions.
There were good and bad carving skills, but there was no one like Yuan Zhou who used a kitchen knife to complete this work.
That's right, Yuan Zhou had evolved from a professional carving knife to a kitchen knife. He was definitely a weirdo in the ice sculpting world.
Back to the topic at hand. It wasn't that there weren't any ice sculptors in Huaxia. To be precise, ice sculpting originated from Huaxia. The reason why videos could not be found on the internet was that most folk experts liked to keep their trump cards and hide the good stuff.
In any case, Yuan Zhou remembered very clearly that the old man on the tricycle said that there was a person who could carve an ice dragon.
This Ice Dragon Elder was said to have won the Ice City Ice Sculpture Competition twice, but he would rather starve than show his skills.
He wouldn't know if he didn't practice it, but after practicing hard recently, Yuan Zhou understood very well how difficult it was to completely carve an ice dragon.
"As a successful person, should I keep a trump card? I should keep a trump card, "Yuan Zhou mumbled to himself and immediately gave up on this idea.
Don't think about keeping a trump card. Many good things were lost because of keeping a trump card.
Yuan Zhou's thinking might be extreme. He believed that it was better to spread the skills on the streets than to bury them in the ground. It was an exaggeration because the difficulty of many skills meant that they couldn't be popularized. But wouldn't it be better to have more people?
"Now, this ice sculpture can finally be taken out to show people."
As Yuan Zhou spoke, his hands had already started moving. The ice cube that was the size of a clay pot gradually took shape under the carving of the kitchen knife.
The technique of ice sculpting was very different from carving vegetables. Carving vegetables required "finesse, precision, and dexterity" and required more dexterity.
However, ice sculpting required "stability, accuracy, and restraint". Yuan Zhou raised the knife in his hand slightly and retracted 70% of the force of the knife's tip. His sharp eyes were like a tiger's as he carved.
Vegetables required dexterity, but ice sculpting required restraint. Many ice sculpting failed not because the sculptor didn't have enough strength, but because he used too much force and was too ruthless.
If ice sculptors were to be ranked, being able to carve a deer would be the first level, and then carving a dragon's head would be the next level. Just like what was said before, if one could carve a complete dragon, one could be called a master.
Yuan Zhou himself had already reached the point of perfection in carving radishes and vegetables. Although the technique was different, his foundation was still there. Therefore, after a period of hard work, his skill level was already quite good.
His first ice sculpting was not only seen by Ji Yi, but also by a few other customers. Therefore, Yuan Zhou had planned for a long time to get back at him.
He accurately remembered that excluding Ji Yi and Liu Zhang, there were five customers who saw his first ice sculpting. As for who these five customers were, there was no need to mention them. Anyway, Yuan Zhou had been waiting for these five customers to arrive at the same time.
He had to avenge himself.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou bought a large block of ice. He wanted to carve the most difficult ice sculpture, the "Double Dragon Fighting for a Pearl".
The difficulty of this "Double Dragon Fighting for a Pearl" lay not only in the skill of carving the dragon, but also in the word "fight". To achieve this, he had to carve it vividly.
Yuan Zhou put the ice block on the table and picked up the kitchen knife. Then, he looked at it carefully, looking for a place to cut it.
Meanwhile, the people watching by the side couldn't help but start to discuss.
"Is this Boss Yuan planning to carve ice?"
"It seems so."
"But I'm afraid it won't be easy to succeed with such a large ice block this time."
"Exactly. Last time, it was a small one. How come he directly made a big one this time?"
"No, it's not that. I remember last time, it was the size of a washbasin. He directly carved a pond and the fish inside all felt like real ones."
"I wonder what Boss Yuan is planning to carve this time."
"It's so large. I guess it's a big one." It was a man wearing glasses who said with a seemingly serious expression.
"Nonsense."
That was the reply of the person who heard the man's deliberately mystifying answer.
Although the customers were noisy, it didn't affect Yuan Zhou's performance. Before cutting, Yuan Zhou specially turned his head and took a look.
"Very good. Everyone is still here." Yuan Zhou nodded his head inwardly and then started to cut.
The blade of the menu was very sharp. Every time it was brandished, it was as if a silver thread was slicing through ice. The places that were sliced would immediately break. The incision was neat and smooth, without a single trace of the blade.
"Shua Shua Shua". Yuan Zhou waved the kitchen knife and the ice block under his hand slowly came out. Now, he could already see what it looked like.
Another difficulty of ice sculpting was not how to cut the ice block without breaking it, but to move fast. Otherwise, the time would be up before the sculpting was finished and it wouldn't look good.
However, Yuan Zhou's current skills could basically satisfy the two requirements of being spirited and fast.
