Lofan's surprise was reasonable. This Martini had no unnecessary components. It wasn't that a frivolous veteran wanted to make changes to a classic, but rather that he hoped newcomers would proceed steadily according to the teaching content, step by step, and eventually restore this timeless classic.
But RPK smiled shyly: "You flatter me, I still have a lot to learn."
Even so, she couldn't hide the joy in her words. It was truly gratifying to receive recognition for her first attempt at bartending, especially from a commander.
"Maybe you can work with me again in the future, as long as you learn a few more cocktails."
"I'm happy to share your burden."
The other party nodded slightly to indicate their attitude.
For some reason, Luo Fan felt that RPK was increasingly resembling Mrs. Springfield in terms of being a virtuous wife and loving mother.
Looking back now, it seems like it's been a long time since I've heard RPK speak in that sarcastic way, or perhaps she only shows gentleness to those close to her.
After all, Luo Fan had seen RPK's interrogation methods in the storyline...
But Luo Fan was also pleased with this change...
"So, M4, what would you like to drink?" RPK had his tools ready, seemingly about to make another cocktail.
M4 was taken aback, not expecting the other party to ask him this question.
"Emmmm......I'll just drink whatever Sister 16 usually drinks."
M4 initially wanted to refuse, but RPK did seem much more approachable.
Uh......
“M16, she doesn’t seem to drink cocktails very often, but she really likes Jack Daniel’s.”
So she took a brand new bottle of Jack Daniel's from the liquor cabinet.
M4 had no idea what the liquor tasted like, but he simply poured it into his glass and drank it under everyone's watchful eyes...
"Ah, M4, don't drink too fast, Jack Daniel's a bit..."
"Ugh...this tastes so weird, why would Sister 16 like drinking this stuff..."
Sure enough, not everyone can accept the oak flavor of Jack Daniel's, let alone M4 who took a big gulp in one go.
"You have to sip your drink slowly. This isn't beer; you can drink beer like cola..."
Click, a bottle of cola. Luo Fan gave M4 a look.
"Why don't you drink this first? It'll definitely taste better than Jack Daniel's for you."
M4 didn't hesitate at all. After all, she had been hanging out with Luo Fan for so long that she couldn't have never tasted Coca-Cola. For her, Coca-Cola was definitely much better than Jack Daniel's. More importantly, it was much cheaper. In terms of cost-effectiveness, Coca-Cola really won.
284 Wow Sauce
As everyone was chatting, WA, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, came up behind M4 with her phone and gently patted her on the shoulder.
M4: "???"
WA-chan's voice sounded a little nervous, but she tried her best to appear calm: "M4 and AR15 want you to go back to your room. They said they have something to tell you. Go and see them."
"Oh well."
Without asking any further questions, M4 politely responded, greeted the people at the bar, and then headed upstairs.
After M4 left, WA immediately sat down in M4's original spot and continued operating her phone.
Although he appeared quite indifferent, Luo Fan could easily guess that WA was probably getting nervous again...
Unexpectedly, WA casually remarked...
"RPK, a Kentucky Girl, on the rocks."
.......
The mere mention of this question caused Luo Fan and RPK to exchange a puzzled look.
"What, what's wrong?"
The other party's reaction was abnormal, so Wa-chan naturally started to get nervous as well.
RPK looked troubled and said, "Uh, Commander, forgive my ignorance, but in the original recipe for Kentucky Girl, was there... an option to add ice?"
"It seems... not, but maybe Wa-chan herself prefers the texture with ice?"
"Does the Kentucky Girl's stemmed glass need ice? It doesn't seem to be the right size..."
While Lovan may not be able to master the recipes for every drink, Kentucky Girl is by no means an obscure one. When recommending bourbon cocktails, Kentucky Girl is definitely the first choice. However, Kentucky Girl doesn't seem to be served with ice. Among the drinkers of this cocktail, he has never seen anyone want ice in their drink.
"Wow, are you sure you're not mistaken? Or do you think it tastes better with ice? If so, I can try it..."
Luo Fan actually began to seriously consider the feasibility of this way of drinking.
"Uh...!" Wa-chan was speechless for a moment.
Damn it, this isn't what we agreed on! In the video, don't those people at the bar always ask the bartender for ice? Why doesn't this Kentucky Girl need it?
Damn it, I've been scammed!
Although she still maintains a cool and aloof image, Wa-chan is secretly going crazy inside.
In reality, Wa-chan has hardly ever drunk any alcohol and knows nothing about the intricacies of cocktails. She only thought of this as a way to start a conversation since Luo Fan likes mixing and drinking, after all, they haven't spoken to each other for a while.
The Kentucky Girl was chosen simply because the drink looked like orange juice and the description said it was a very refreshing cocktail with herbal notes.
Simply put, she simply chose a cocktail based on a young girl's perspective that she herself probably wouldn't have much of an effect on, but there were some minor oversights in her description...
"Then let's skip the ice and make it according to the classic recipe!"
She didn't want to dwell on this dangerous issue and tried to ignore it as much as possible with an indifferent attitude.
But RPK then asked, "So, does WA want lemon juice or lime juice?"
"Uh!"
Damn it, what's the difference between the two?!
"......?" Although Luo Fan didn't say anything, he could roughly figure it out. After all, it's not easy to pretend to be an expert in front of a bartender, although it's quite easy for a novice like RPK.
"Lime juice, please."
Wa-chan no longer possessed the confidence she had when she first sat down. She was worried that if the flavor she created wasn't what she had imagined, her reaction might be awkward...
She could see that Luo Fan was propping his head up with one hand, looking at her with a teasing expression and a malicious look.
"Idiot, you idiot, why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing, I was just looking."
Luo Fan didn't expose her, and silently took a big gulp of the Coke he hadn't finished before leaving with the M4.
"Tch..."
......
"Let me see... mint leaves, cucumber slices, the Commander's homemade simple syrup..."
Although it is essentially a copy, RPK's methods are indeed quite impressive, perhaps because tactical dolls are more precise than humans.
"Here you go, WA, Kentucky girl, it's simpler than you think."
"Thank you."
Two minutes later, the finished product appeared in a stemmed glass, and a Kentucky Girl cocktail, with a flavor exactly like orange juice, was complete.
Before drinking, the adorable Wa-chan secretly brought the wine to her nose and sniffed it twice to make sure the taste wasn't too strong before slowly drinking it.
The actual taste was beyond her expectations; it wasn't as unacceptable as she had imagined. On the contrary, it was quite wonderful, making her want to drink more.
The taste and texture are equally refreshing, with mint leaves adding a herbal flavor. In her stereotype, alcohol has always been a strong-tasting and unpalatable beverage that can even cause people to become intoxicated and confused. She has always believed that alcohol is not a good thing.
But after drinking some, I realized that not all alcoholic beverages are meant to numb the senses. Some alcoholic beverages are indeed a pleasure to drink, something that ordinary drinks cannot do under normal circumstances.
RPK wiped his hands with a hot towel and asked with a smile, "How are you feeling?"
"Mmm...it's really good. I don't know what level a beginner should be at, but this drink is really great for me."
"Thank you for your recognition!"
RPK then handed a plate of strawberries to Wa-chan and prepared to wash the used cups.
After RPK left, Luo Fan decided to play a little joke on Wa Jiang.
She was still drinking, perhaps because RPK was busy and couldn't come back right away, and she couldn't bear to finish it all at once.
"Wow-chan?"
"Ok?"
"You didn't memorize the key points of your lines well, and your tone isn't natural enough."
"What...what are you talking about? Who memorized their lines?"
When Luo Fan exposed her, she chose to continue playing dumb and maintain her status as a seasoned veteran.
Luo Fan nodded, giving the impression that "you're absolutely right."
"Alex Day's 'The Cocktail Codex,' although it's a study book, still describes the basic styles and flavors. Would you like to take a look?"
......
"Well, let's take a look..."
Sure enough, Waa-chan is starting to show some interest in cocktails. With a little more encouragement and by understanding her preferred styles, we can get her to like cocktails.
but......
"Dingling bell~"
The bell next to the bar door suddenly rang...
"Hmm? Mr. Luo, you're awake? How have you been resting these past few days?"
285 Conversation with Rosalia
The space between the bar and the door was blocked by a rockery. Luo Fan felt that the female voice sounded very familiar, but the girls had already drawn their pistols and pointed them at the source of the voice.
Even by the door, there were people standing...
Barrett had already noticed the surrounding situation through surveillance and spotted an unpleasant figure among them.
She silently unfastened the safety lock and pointed at the back of the other person's head: "So, what are you doing back here?"
"Don't be so nervous. I just came to check on your man. How is he? He looks pretty good."
Rosalia wasn't nervous at all; she didn't even take her hands out of her coat pockets, and it was impossible to tell from the naked eye where her confidence came from.
She politely closed the door behind her, and with more than a dozen gun barrels pointed at her, the girl slowly walked to the bar and sat down in an empty seat on the other side of Luo Fan.
Morido, standing at the table, was confused and nudged Nemokin behind her, asking, "Who is she?"
"An unpleasant stranger."
She shook her head, unable to offer any further details.
Regarding Rosalia, they are not involved and do not have much intelligence to support their claims, so it's best to remain silent and observe more for now.
This time, Rosalia opted to wear a proper coat; her previous outfit looked too cold.
She raised an eyebrow at Luo Fan, as if it were an established custom.
Luo Fan responded by lightly touching the table with his fingers, and the girls put their guns away.
She laughed and said, "Isn't it better to keep things peaceful? Why make the atmosphere so tense?"
"Sigh, these are special times, but we still have to follow the procedures. After all, I don't know why you came to see me, and I don't like riddles."
Luo Fan couldn't help but smile wryly, and could only temporarily believe that the other party hadn't approached him with malicious intent...
The girls went about their business casually, but they would still glance at the two of them from time to time.
Laughter and conversation returned, as if the little incident had never happened...
RPK didn't know what the other person wanted to drink, but out of politeness, she poured Rosalia a glass of lemonade.
"Hmm...it's pretty good, but the flavor is a bit bland; it could be sweeter."
"????"
This time, not only Lofan and RPK were dumbfounded, but Wajang was also stunned. Isn't lemonade supposed to be bland? If it gets any sweeter, won't it just be a beverage?
Although Rosalia does appear to be quite petite...
