Chapter 285 The bet proposed by Du Sikang
Du Ming certainly understood what Ji Dong meant when he was about to go to the appointment. He hurriedly led Ji Dong and the other two into the Bartenders Guild. Du Xiner, who was beside him, had already run to Ji Dong and grabbed his sleeves and said, "Brother Ji Dong, I have been practicing very hard. I will definitely practice to level 60 as soon as possible and let you accept me as your disciple."
Ji Dong shook his arm lightly and shook Du Xiner's pull without a trace, "Miss Xiner, it is a good thing to work hard to practice. I look forward to you reaching level 60 as soon as possible."
Du Xiner was thrown away by Ji Dong, looking at him with some dissatisfaction, then looked at the flames wearing a hat beside Ji Dong, and stuck out his tongue at Ji Dong, saying, "Brother Ji Dong, why does this sister always wear a veil? Is she sick?"
Ji Dong frowned slightly, "Miss Xin'er, please respect yourself." His tone was obviously a little heavier, and Du Xiner said that Lieyan was sick, which was something he could not accept. While speaking, he had already taken Lieyan's hand and walked into the gate of the Bartenders' Guild with A Jin.
Du Xiner looked at the backs of the three of them and stomped her feet hard. She snorted angrily and said to herself: "Die Ji Dong. Stinky Ji Dong, I will not give up. Why don't I respect myself anymore? I have never had a boyfriend."
Lieyan chuckled in Ji Dong's ear and said, "I didn't expect that my little Ji Dong is still very popular!"
Ji Dong smiled slightly, looked at Lieyan, and whispered: "I am your Jidong, not Xiao Jidong. Lieyan, are you jealous?" Finally, he established a relationship with Lieyan. He was no longer as cautious as before, and couldn't help but joke about Lieyan.
Lieyan smiled and said, "Do I need to be jealous? Your people, your heart, and your soul are mine. Moreover, I don't think there will be more attractive girls in your human world than me."
Confidence comes from strength. If someone else said this, Ji Dong would definitely make a fuss, but it would be so natural to say it from Lieyan. Even A Jin, who was standing beside him, nodded.
At this time, Du Sikang had already led a group of bartenders to meet him.
"Mr. Ji Dong." Du Sikang stepped forward a few steps and came to Ji Dong. Ji Dong reached out to hold him and said apologetically: "President Du, I am really embarrassed that day, because something happened temporarily, we had to leave temporarily. I'm really sorry, please forgive me."
"It's okay, this is nothing. As long as Mr. Ji Dong is safe and sound, please come inside." Du Sikang personally led Ji Dong and the other two to walk inside. Du Xiner, who followed behind, saw her father, naturally couldn't come forward to harass Ji Dong anymore.
While walking, Ji Dong said to Du Sikang: "President Du, I came this time to fulfill our agreement. After competing with you, I may leave the North Water Empire to prepare for the next battle of holy evil."
Du Sikang said: "Okay. I have already made arrangements. I heard from the child that he talked about Mr. Ji Dong's bartender skills in detail, and I couldn't help but feel a little itchy. Mr. Ji Dong, do you mind letting the bartenders in our guild watch it?"
Ji Dong frowned slightly, looked at Du Sikang with deep eyes, and sighed in his heart. His original intention was not to compete with Du Sikang in front of the Bartenders Guild. In that case, even if Du Sikang loses, not many people will know that it will not affect his reputation as the God of Baccarat. At this time, Du Sikang made this request with a purpose. The Bartenders Guild suffered a severe blow this time, and his influence in the guild has dropped significantly. He wanted to defeat himself in bartending and show his unique skills to make the members more confident in him. It is obvious that Du Sikang is full of confidence in himself in bartending. And there may be other purposes.
The increase in mental power made Ji Dong look at people more thoroughly. When Du Sikang made this suggestion to him, his heartbeat was obviously a little accelerated. This proves that he was unstable and had some plans. Although Ji Dong didn't know what Du Sikang was planning, he was not afraid. What's more, he had saved the entire Bartenders Guild before, and he believed that Du Sikang would not do anything that was unfavorable to him.
"Okay, since that's the case, I will follow the president's words. However, I will definitely give my all." Ji Dong said lightly.
Du Sikang nodded and said, "I am the same. Otherwise, I would be disrespectful to Mr. Ji Dong."
When he arrived at the conference hall of the Bartenders Guild, Du Sikang first asked Ji Dong and the other two to sit down, and then immediately ordered someone to go down and prepare.
"Mr. Ji Dong, since I was discussing in our guild, I have taken advantage of the types of wine. You can propose this method. In this way, it can be considered fair."
Ji Dong smiled slightly. This is more than just fair. Two bartenders competed, and one of them proposed the competition method, which was a big advantage. Almost every bartender had his best bartender methods and types. With his own strengths and the weaknesses of the enemy, he would undoubtedly greatly increase his chance of winning. Du Sikang clearly did not want to take advantage of himself, and it also fully demonstrated his strong confidence as a god of wine.
Ji Dong nodded and said, "Okay, I'm not polite."
A trace of hesitation flashed in Du Sikang's eyes, and he gritted his teeth. He still said, "Mr. Ji Dong. I have another suggestion. Our competition this time can be regarded as a grand event in the bartender industry. Look at this, let's add some highlights, so that it may stimulate us to better display our bartender skills."
After hearing what he said, Ji Dong immediately understood what Du Sikang was planning. Although this was what he expected, he felt very uncomfortable when he looked at Du Sikang. He pretended not to understand what he meant and said lightly: "What lottery should President Du add?"
Du Sikang said: "Mr. Ji Dong naturally doesn't see any ordinary things. I will use a bottle of vast sea nectar as the first prize."
As soon as this was said, the bartenders were immediately in a state of great excitement. They were already very strange about Ji Dong and Du Sikang's bartender skills, but Du Sikang had told them before that Ji Dong had a strong ability to mix and defeated Fury, which made them interested. At this time, Du Sikang said that he would use the gamble of the vast sea nectar as a bet, which shocked them.
"Dad..." Du Ming quickly walked to Du Sikang and said angrily: "You, how could you do this? This is..." He still didn't say the words "gratitude and revenge", but his eyes at his father had changed.
Du Sikang shouted in a deep voice, "This is a matter between me and Mr. Ji Dong. You retreat."
Since Ji Dong said that he wanted to have a bartending and exchange with him that day, Du Sikang thought a lot in his mind. Ji Dong's magician's strength is beyond doubt, but he never thinks that Ji Dong has the ability to compete with him in bartending. The most important thing is that the source of life for a thousand years is too attractive to him. The fatal attraction stimulates his heart almost every day. Of course, he knew that he would give such a lottery today, which could be said to be without a way out, or even to repay grudges with grudges. But he really couldn't help it. He clearly remembered that as the president of the Bartenders Guild, he finally had the opportunity to get one of them. How could he have no idea? He knew that with Ji Dong's identity, he would definitely keep his promises, and would not come to trouble the Bartenders Guild. At most, he would completely offend him, and he would never help the Bartenders Guild again.
After thinking about it, Du Sikang finally made a decision to give up his old face and win this second famous wine for the Bartenders Guild. In that case, his name will be forever engraved in the history of the Bartenders Guild. You must know that from the first guild president to now, no one has been able to leave another bottle of famous wine in the famous wine list for the guild!
Ji Dongfeng looked at Du Sikang lightly. His eyes were very calm, and his expression did not change at all because of the lottery head proposed by Du Sikang. He just said calmly: "President Du, your lottery head seems to be more expensive. It seems that only by taking out the source of life can you compare with it."
Du Sikang smiled reluctantly and said, "We are just talking casually. Although the source of life is lower than that of the Hanhai Nectar in the famous wine list in our guild, it is enough to use it as a lottery."
"Dad, you can't do this." Du Xiner understood it at this time and rushed up from the side, even more direct than her brother, blocking Ji Dong and glaring at her father.
Du Sikang's face darkened, "Come here, take them down to me. How can it be so disrespectful to me in front of the distinguished guest?"
Several bartenders came up and grabbed Du Ming's brother and sister. Du Ming kept winking at Ji Dong and signaled him not to agree to his father. Du Xiner even called out directly. However, Ji Dong ignored their reactions and nodded to Du Sikang, saying, "Okay, since President Du is so interested, how can Ji Dong not be with you? I am also very curious about the famous wine list of your association, which is better. President Du and the famous wine list, how can I use two bottles of life as the lottery? The source of life is ranked under the vast sea of nectar, so you can't suffer any loss, right?"
Although the famous wine list is precious, it is impossible to compare with a bottle of peerless famous wine. When Ji Dong said that he actually had two bottles of life, Du Sikang couldn't help but be overjoyed. At this time, he was completely immersed in the joy of getting the source of life for a thousand years, but he never thought about why Ji Dong was willing to take out two bottles of such precious famous wine as a bet.
"Okay, then we'll make up for it." Du Sikang stood up, Ji Dong also stood up, and the two of them held each other's hands, which was considered to have made a bet.
The other bartenders sitting in the conference room stood up one after another, and they didn't quite understand why Du Sikang offered such a lottery. For Ji Dong, they felt something was wrong in their hearts. Most bartenders didn't know what the source of life was. After all, only a few bartenders of the highest level had read the famous wine list.
A trace of cold divine light appeared in Ji Dong's eyes, and Du Sikang couldn't help but feel a little trembling, but since he had made a decision, it was too late to regret it. He made up his mind and wanted to be the source of life, so he would not want this old face.
At this time, the staff responsible for preparing for the bartending competition had turned around and nodded to Du Sikang. Du Sikang took the opportunity to make a gesture of inviting Ji Dong, "Mr. Ji Dong, please."
"President Du Dong looked at Du Sikang, and he actually quite understood Du Sikang's thoughts at this time. As a top bartender, he has been immersed in bartending all his life, and his desire for peerless wine is stronger than anyone else. Just like when he was facing a thousand-year-old wine, he still couldn't help but taste it, so he came to this world. Of course, if it were the present, let alone a thousand-year-old wine, even a thousand-year-old wine wouldn't be drunk to death.
However, as a real bartender, no matter how tempting the wine is, you must keep your original heart. Otherwise, your heart will be intimidated by external things and will never be able to remain calm again. Ji Dong even dared to say that Du Sikang, who took the initiative to make a bet, had already lost half of his bartender skills at this time. Because his heart has lost, the mentality of repaying grudges and revenge will inevitably affect his mood.
Under the leadership of the staff, everyone came to a huge room. When they entered the room, the first thing they smelled was a scent of wine. It was the smell of at least a thousand kinds of fine wines mixed together. Although the taste was not very strong, it would undoubtedly have some impact on bartenders whose sense of smell was the main judgment.
In the room, two bartender platforms have been arranged, each of which is a standard semicircle, one meter wide and three meter five arc length. This is the most standard bartender table used by bartenders. The semicircle is designed to easily retreat when the bartenders mix and have a larger space in front of them.
About three meters behind the mixing table, each has a huge wine cabinet. The wine cabinet is even a bit exaggerated, with at least a thousand kinds of fine wines placed on it. Ji Dong just needs to glance at it and you can see that all the wines on the wine cabinet are vintage wines. In other words, none of them are ordinary base wines. Each bottle has a high price. At least one third of them are those he has never seen since he came to this world.
Just as the Magician Guild has a rich background in magic weapons and equipment, the Bartender Guild also has strong strength in the accumulation of wine. Even after being looted by the Magician Alliance once, they can still bring out so many good wines. It is conceivable that the Bartender Guild has definitely used more than one place to store wine. It is not only in this guild.
Ten meters away from the two mixing tables and wine cabinets, there is a circle of seats for watching the ceremony. The whole room is brightly lit. The huge crystal palace lantern on the head illuminates the two mixing tables and every bottle of wine on the wine cabinets in the middle.
