[On the day you first came to the bar and had your interview, I had a brief conversation with Tony.]
A story of the past brought up out of nowhere.
Suddenly, I wondered if it was some kind of old-fashioned story, but the words that followed were unexpected.
[It was about you. Will I be able to adapt to the bar, and will I be able to cope with various customers and incidents? I put that in my mouth.]
No, the two of us had a conversation like that.
So what was the conclusion?
On the day Tony and Dragon President first met, what kind of evaluation did those two ultimately make about me?
What was my first impression of them?
I wondered. A person can only be curious
[Look at the change in his eyes. Are you curious?]
“Yes. Please tell me.”
[Hey, if you don’t say this, you’re in trouble. I’m talking about being scared like this, so I’m not sure if it’s funny or not.]
The Dragon boss grumbled and said.
[Maa (what?), it wasn’t a big deal. just… I don’t think he’s a bad kid, but I was a little worried because he looked like an Asian chef and had a gentle appearance. [
“Ugh.”
[Tony was like that, I thought he might look down on the guests.]
It was a reasonable concern.
In fact, there were quite a few cases where it looked shallow.
It can be said that the Fallen Angel case with the truth detective and the dispute with the Man Hunter were all the cause.
Because I look weak and stupid, because I look like a novice to anyone.
[Do you know what I answered back then?]
“What did you say?”
[I don’t think you need to worry about that. From what you’re saying, it sounds like you have a kang. What did you say then? to me… .]
President Dragon scratched the horn of the helmet, as he could not remember.
Unfortunately, I remembered it very well. It’s a black history that makes your face go red just by mentioning it.
‘Sasha, you better prepare.’
‘I’m ready to rip off a huge chunk of my bonus.’
‘Worry about a month in advance.’
‘In a month, the job experience period is over, and at that time, you will be very anxious to accept me as a full-time employee. You’re so good at your job.’
“Kee-e-e-e-eek!”
[Bikkurishita (surprise)! Why are you suddenly screaming? Surprise people.]
“There is something worthwhile… It’s something I can’t stand without screaming… .”
[Did you get any disease? Or muscle pain? Didn’t I say everything was fine?]
As if he was genuinely concerned, he answered Dragon’s words without strength.
“No, it’s a psychogenic disease… You don’t have to worry about it. More than that, what I said back then was completely drunk and nonsense.”
That was real bullshit.
If I hadn’t gotten drunk after receiving the Dusk Ice Tea that day, it was delicious.
If I had known just a little bit how great the boss dragons and bartenders are, I wouldn’t have said such a cheeky thing.
When I explained it like that, the Dragon president said, ‘Huh… .’ made a snort. I feel it every time, but the sound of my nose that is modulated with a mechanical sound is really weird.
[That’s really fun. I’ve come to the conclusion that I can use you because of what you claim to be bullshit. Thanks to you, I was able to convince you.]
“… Your eyes are very special.”
[And he was right. I hit it.]
I’m at a loss for words.
While I kept my mouth shut, the Dragon President continued to speak while looking up.
[On that day, Tony and I just need to be together. That alone is enough to do a good job. That’s what I said.]
“… .”
[Well, of course, just a real gang isn’t enough. You have to have some brains, and above all, you have to have your own will and effort. it will But I think the most important thing among dogs is the gang.]
He has the guts to react calmly in front of any accident.
No matter what kind of guests come, no matter what they do, they are just my customers, I am only doing what I have to do.
Everything else could be cultivated, but that skill had to be innate. Or is it created through long experience.
[All you need is kang. If there is that, the rest of the abilities can be provided somehow even through hell training. No matter what accident happens, I can cover it all. The problem is that I really can’t see the person with the guts.]
So, despite the shortage of manpower, they were unable to find new employees.
No matter how many times I tried to recruit, they all didn’t last long, so they gave up.
[I wondered if my eyes were too high because the two bartenders I already had were so outstanding… What can I do, I don’t see it.
You can’t force yourself to take what they can’t stand. If there is a relationship, anyone will come to me, and then I stayed still.]
I stayed still, and someone really came to visit me.
Aaron Nakamura.
[I have a lot of hallways. How did this guy roll in like a vine? I feel like I want to even make a temple at Gintoki Tower.]
Putting his arm over my shoulder again, the Dragon President continued talking playfully.
[It’s okay if you don’t have the ability, so I thought it would be nice if I had the strength, but I have the strength and I have the ability. Kya—I thought I was enjoying some kind of cheat engine.]
“What skills do I have? .”
[Does humility do that? it looks kinda I really like to humble myself in case someone is not Asian. If you look at cancer, you’re right about Nihonjin (Japanese).]
it’s humility To be honest, compared to the bartenders and the Dragon President, it is true that my abilities are limited.
Just as I was about to refute, he made another noise.
[You know what? Tony, have you started studying cocktails again these days?]
“Yes?”
No, is there anything else to study there?
It is a fact that is often forgotten because of his seemingly lethargic and drowsy appearance.
Although not as good as Say, Tony was also a proud professional bartender. In particular, the showmanship and craftsmanship of that splendid cannot be overstated.
[That’s something you don’t know. Real bartenders usually have to keep studying non-stop. That way you can become familiar with new recipes, develop your own signature cocktails… .]
At the words of the Dragon President, he shook his head.
Haha, the cooking was the same. Proper cooks don’t stop studying.
When I was working at a restaurant, the deputy general chef, who served as the actual head chef, was also a huge workaholic.
He developed a new menu almost every week and never left work, so he got a lot of anger from his chefs.
Do I have to say that it’s amazing that he doesn’t stop trying even though he’s already a great person, or was he able to build up such skills because he was such a person in the first place? .
[Don’t let go of your hand and study a little bit, even if it’s daijobu (it’s okay) now, even if you ask me what to do if an unfamiliar order comes out, I’ll be able to do anything because I have basic skills.
He was a guy who said that it was okay because he was the one who pleases the eyes with his dexterity rather than his ability to brew, and he used the excuse that he could make it while secretly looking at the recipe through the neural interface when he ordered a cocktail he didn’t know.
“Hey, that’s great.”
When I said that with genuine admiration, the Dragon boss laughs.
[If it’s great, that’s great, but the reason is so funny. Hmm, I told you not to tell anyone about this.]
“What?”
[It’s because of you.]
I closed my eyes because I thought this was the sound of a bangchan while sleeping again.
[Tony teaches you how to brew. Your actor seemed to feel a sense of crisis when he saw the speed. They say that if we go on like this, we will be robbed in three months, and that we will have to study in order not to catch up with knowledge.]
“to? lie.”
Tony can’t Rather than feeling a sense of crisis, he was stingy with praise and was quite strict.
I’ve taken bartending lessons from Tony several times so far, but I’ve never felt that way.
Even though there have been times when I was amazed that someone who seemed relaxed in everything would have a hard attitude when teaching… .
[Believe it or not. Anyway, it’s really funny. The guy who was always taking it easy was like, ‘I don’t know why this bastard’s hair is so good. What recipe can you memorize in 1 minute? Maybe he wasn’t a chef, so his dexterity… .’ It’s like he’s complaining and acting as if his feet are on fire.]
The Dragon boss giggled.
[Mochiron (of course), that’s just your learning ability. How well you learn is a different matter from how well you do it in practice.]
“Yes.”
[But you did well in practice.]
yes, I admit At this point, I have to admit it.
honestly it wasn’t bad.
It’s hard to find a bar manager like me anywhere.
As with other things, it will be even more so if you look at gang as a criterion for judging.
All he has is a chip in his head, but how common is it that he cuts off the arm of the infamous Manhunter and engages in a sword fight with the head of the psycho gang Luddite?
[okay. That’s not crazy.]
Dragon President agreed.
