God of Wine

Chapter 286 The Dionysian Controversy

See this bartending competition venue. Only then did Ji Dong understand that Du Sikang was not modest and didn't want to take advantage of him before. From the arrangement of these thousands of precious and fine wines, it can be seen that he is bound to win. Undoubtedly, as the president of the Bartenders Guild, he must be very familiar with these wines, and the placement of this wine cabinet is definitely the most suitable for him. Such advantages really need to be balanced by the method of competition.

Du Sikang took off his coat and handed it to an elderly bartender. His expression had become serious. To Ji Dong's surprise, Du Sikang was clearly guilty and ashamed before, but when he saw the bartender The wine table and the thousands of fine wines in the wine cabinet, all emotions have been replaced by fanaticism. It was a realm that only bartenders of their level could understand, and there was nothing else but wine.

Ji Dong found that he still underestimated this Dionysus. From Du Sikang, he saw the shadow of himself before he came to this world. The title of Dionysus is indeed well-deserved. I originally thought that the change in mood would have an impact on him when he competed with me in bartending, but now it seems that I was worrying too much.

However, this is also what Ji Dong wants to see the most, after all, he has just come to this world. He had heard of the name of Du Sikang, the God of Dionysus. It can be said that he was the first person to mix wine on the Bright Five Elements Continent before he came to this world. If the first person was defeated so easily, what's the point? As a generation of Dionysus, in a sense, he is the same person as Du Sikang, that is, he has absolute confidence in his bartending skills. As a bartender at the top, you will never lose such confidence. At this time, he could finally compete with Du Sikang in a real sense.

It is precisely because of seeing Du Sikang's eyes that the unhappiness in Ji Dong's heart has disappeared, and the Dionysus in front of him can fight for the source of life despite the burden of revenge and revenge, which shows his attitude towards wine. Obsessed. For wine, he can even give up everything, including his own reputation. Such a bartender is absolutely worthy of respect.

Du Sikang made a gesture of invitation to Ji Dong, and he walked behind another bartending table, the light in his eyes became more and more hot. He hasn't had this kind of pressure in the bartending world for many years, and now this feeling is finally back. For him, this feeling is wonderful, and it is also what he expects. Only under such pressure can he fully display his bartending skills, and even make a breakthrough. Of course, he didn't think that this pressure was brought to him by Ji Dong, but the desire for the source of life for thousands of years. No matter how weak Ji Dong's bartending ability is, he will definitely go all out today. Let the source of life fall into his hands without any regrets, into the hands of the Bartenders Guild.

Ji Dong walked to the bartending table opposite Du Sikang and stood still. The two looked at each other. Du Sikang was surprised to find that although he did not see the same enthusiasm and persistence as himself in Ji Dong's eyes, what he saw was Unparalleled confidence, absolute confidence. The calm and clear gaze was bottomless, but there was no tension at all, and the whole person looked so calm.

"Mr. Ji Dong, please suggest a way to learn from each other." Du Sikang said in a deep voice.

Ji Dong said: "Since it's a competition,

Then we should show our bartending ability from all aspects. It's not as good as this, let's decide the outcome with three games. Best of three. What do you think? "

Du Sikang nodded and said: "No matter what kind of competition it is, you are the one who decides."

His moving eyes lit up, just like Du Sikang, he hadn't felt this kind of excitement from bartending for a long, long time. Not even when facing Lei Di Fu Rui back then. At that time, the draw between him and Fury was made by himself. Although Fury's bartending ability is strong, there is still a slight gap between him and him, and for a truly top bartender, even a small gap is an insurmountable gap. Du Sikang in front of him represents the most peak bartending power in the world. What's more, Lie Yan was watching by his side. This bartending was also a gift from him to Lie Yan. He and Lie Yan became attached to each other through wine, so how could he not go all out?

"In the first round, we mixed wine with a single bottle, each depending on the method, and the base wine and ingredients were optional. In the second round, we had a multi-bottle competition, and we also chose the base wine and ingredients. In the last round, we mixed a glass of wine with each other , imitated by the other party. What do you think?"

Listening to Ji Dong's proposed method of sparring, Du Sikang's pupils shrank obviously, not because Ji Dong's proposed method was so harsh, on the contrary, the three methods of competition that Ji Dong mentioned were the bartenders. Discuss the three most common and the fairest three. Is he really that confident?

Taking a deep breath, Du Sikang faintly felt that the young man in front of him might really be unique in bartending. But how could he have less confidence in himself? He is a talented bartender, from entering the bartenders guild to becoming a generation of Dionysus, it only took ten years. In the past 30 years, no one has been able to compete in the bartending industry in mainland China, so naturally no one can shake his position as the president of the Bartenders Guild.

"Okay. Let's start then." Du Sikang didn't say much, feeling the fiery and intense excitement in his body, he had already entered the state completely.

The surrounding bartenders all stared wide-eyed. Du Ming and Du Xiner also knew that it was impossible to interfere with this competition, so they all watched quietly from the sidelines.

Only flames. He walked slowly to a place not far from Ji Dong's bartending table, and stared at him through the veil on the bamboo hat. Except for Ji Dong herself, she was the only one present who had absolute confidence in Ji Dong.

Ji Dong and Du Sikang walked to the sinks next to their respective bartending tables almost at the same time, and began to wash their hands seriously. They cleaned the palms, fingers, finger crevices, nail crevices, and even every texture on the hands extremely carefully. If an outsider sees them washing their hands like this, they will definitely snort. But the senior bartenders present all understood that washing their hands completely is not only a respect for bartending, but also to prevent any smell on their hands from affecting their judgment on wine. , can also maintain the perfect fit and friction with the shaker. Who would be sloppy in this top-level duel?

After washing their hands almost at the same time, they returned to the bartending table at the same time, and each of them took out an identical crystal shaker from under the bartending table. Since it is a fair competition, the competition is about techniques and bartending skills, not bartending tools. Therefore, all the utensils in this competition are exactly the same.

Until now, almost everything done by these two gods of wine was a mirror image. The eyes of the two faced each other. The next moment, they had already started their first bartending at the same time.

Du Sikang didn't need to see with his eyes at all. He can also clearly grasp the position of each bottle of wine in the wine cabinet behind him, which is originally arranged according to his best, and his usual position in the wine cabinet. Without looking back, his arm was thrown back as if it was broken, and three bottles of wine appeared on the mixing table in front of him in an instant.

However, to Du Sikang's slight surprise, Ji Dong also didn't look back, and didn't even make a move. Three faint red lights flashed, and there were three more bottles of wine on the bartending table in front of him. Moreover, these three bottles of wine were exactly the same as those selected by Du Sikang.

but. Du Sikang didn't think about how Ji Dong did it, because at this moment he no longer had Ji Dong in his eyes, only the three bottles of wine in front of him remained.

Like Du Sikang, Ji Dong's eyes sank and fell on the three bottles of wine. It was the first time he saw the wine cabinet behind him. But when he glanced at it earlier, his mental power, which has been improved after ten transformations, has firmly remembered the position of each bottle of wine. The reason why he chose the same wine as Du Sikang was to compete with his opponent in the same bartending.

The three base wines chosen by Du Sikang are vodka, Cointreau and almond brandy. These are three completely different wines.

Vodka is similar to filtered purified alcohol plus purified water. It doesn't have any added flavor. It is widely used in base wine, but it only produces auxiliary effects by diluting other base wines and ingredients.

Cointreau orange liqueur, also known as Cointreau orange liqueur, is a liqueur with the aroma of sweet and sour oranges. It is the core ingredient of many famous cocktails,

To get the perfect Cointreau, it is necessary to obtain the essence of sweet and bitter orange peel through distillation, and then mix it with high-quality pure alcohol, sugar and water, and finally synthesize an absolutely high-quality finished wine with an alcohol content of 40%. . All the careful selection in the whole process is to ensure its pure and moderate taste.

As a result, Cointreau has a unique mouthfeel that is mellow and rich. Although the blend is balanced, it gives people a refreshing new taste experience with the sharp contrast between strong and mild, cool but warm, bitter and sweet. When it is poured into the glass for the first time, it shows a crystal clear color, but it turns milky white after adding ice, with a light floral and fruity aroma, followed by a strong orange aroma. The overall feeling is a cold, subtle, complex and lingering temperature aftertaste.

Obviously, there is a fixed gap between Ji Dong and Du Sikang, that is, he does not have the ability to make ice, which is an inherent disadvantage. But even before opening the bottle cap, Ji Dong can still feel the perfection of this bottle of Cointreau orange wine in front of him.

The last base wine is almond brandy, general brandy, mostly refers to grape distilled wine. But this kind of almond brandy is a distilled wine made from almonds, so the production is more complicated. But it also has a unique taste. Intense on the palate with hints of almonds, it's not as famous as Cointreau, but it's undeniably a great wine. It's just that it never appears as a base wine alone.

The cocktails brought by three base wines with different tastes and origins will naturally be ever-changing, and the bartenders have different techniques. It is entirely possible to create different results. In the future, some staff have already delivered ingredients to Ji Dong and Du Sikang respectively. The ingredients are exactly the same, and there is no need to order them. The staff of the Bartenders Association also know what they should be served with.

There are two ingredients, grenadine and lemon juice.

The cocktail made from these three base wines and two ingredients is the famous Midnight Sunshine, which is also a kind of wine that Ji Dong made for Lie Yan before. I don't know if it's a tacit understanding, but this was originally one of the cocktails that Ji Dong wanted to choose in the first round. Since Du Sikang chose it, Ji Dong has no reason to choose others.

The bottle cap of the shaker was still opened at the same time in the mirror-like opening of both sides. Whether it was Ji Dong or Du Sikang, their hands were very steady. Four tenths of vodka, two tenths of Cointreau orange wine, very Two parts almond brandy, plus one tenth part grenadine and one tenth part lemon juice. There is no slight difference in the amount that the two add to the shaker. There was not even a trace of residue dripping on the mixing table.

Three kinds of base wine, the liquid mixed with two ingredients in the crystal mixing jug is shining brightly under the light outside, and some cloudy liquids soak each other.

The moment the lid of the shaker was closed, Ji Dong and Du Sikang stopped their movements, and surprisingly, the mirror image reappeared, and at the same time they closed their eyes. Everyone's nerves can't help becoming tense at this moment, because they know that this peak duel is finally about to really start.

The mirror image was broken in the next instant, and the two hands were raised almost at the same time. The difference was that Ji Dong raised only his right hand, while Du Sikang raised his hands.

Ji Dong's right hand swept towards the bottom of the crystal mixing pot on the mixing table like lightning. In an instant, the brilliance flashed, and the mixing pot was spinning rapidly and flew into the air.

But what Du Sikang did was completely different. He pressed both hands towards the wine mixing pot at the same time, and two strong black water magic power surged out, one in front and one behind, under the action of these two magic powers , the entire mixing pot is spinning rapidly on the mixing table like a top.

From the beginning of the competition, they showed completely different bartending styles. Ji Dong mainly relied on his pure skills, while Du Sikang, the god of wine, completely combined his bartending skills and magic power. It was at this moment that the battle of the God of Dionysus kicked off. Until this moment, Lie Yan was the only one who believed that Ji Dong would win. Among the others, only Du Ming still had some confidence in Ji Dong.

The same shaker, the same mixed liquid, began to bloom their dazzling brilliance at this moment.

The bartending competition has started, let's get some monthly tickets and give a reward to encourage the mistress. hey-hey.
