There are many people in Qing Bar.
Mainly in the clear bar type of bar operation, in addition to drinks, it also provides staple food.
But there aren’t many varieties to choose from…
Ordinary guests will not sit here to dine, but mainly drink and chat.
This is also the first choice for some business people…
Whether or not to sign a contract is too tiring to discuss in the conference hall. Many partners will look for some places that are relatively literary but can highlight their style. Qingba is undoubtedly a good choice.
This type of bar operation is more suitable for guests who are active but may not have company.
This way you can watch the bartender mix drinks when you’re bored.
When the bartender is free, he can also chat with them, or even play simple games with the guests to relieve their worries.
This kind of bar is the most humane. Guests often become good friends with the bartenders, so the bar has a certain number of regular customers.
“Find a place to sit first. It’s best to have a wide view and a place where you can see the stage.” Lu Weiwei is a good person.
The purpose of her coming here is partly to listen to singing and partly to drink.
However, the decoration and layout here do not seem to require Lu Weiwei to worry too much about the viewing angle.
Because from any angle, it seems that the performance on the stage can be seen.
“Let’s sit here, there are just a few seats.” Gu Chen found a place at the corner of the bar, where there happened to be a few empty seats.
Like other common beer bars, this style music bar is centered around the wrought-iron bar counter and has a row of small tables in the bar passage for several people to sit face to face.
Unlike ordinary small Qingba bars, this Internet celebrity Qingbao is often crowded.
When guests are seated, they sit down. If not, they stand and crowd in to spend time.
The reason is simple. The hustle and bustle of the city makes people breathless, but the atmosphere in the bar is better.
Coupled with the bartender’s bartending skills, bottle tossing, bottle shaking, and gestures that are chic but not fancy, attracting the attention of guests.
Moreover, many of the bartenders are from Europe and can easily switch between fluent English and Chinese, allowing them to communicate with guests smoothly.
Coupled with their handsome uniforms and rich experience, they have endless topics to talk about with their guests.
Many bartenders use humor and make customers willing to accept them as friends.
Precisely because it is easy to make friends in such an environment, many businessmen like to gather here to meet new business partners.
The place Gu Chen chose was surrounded by several business people holding contracts and chatting while drinking.
“Gu Chen, go order some wine.” Officer Wang said.
Gu Chen looked at the dazzling array of drinks on the bar, wiped his sweat with some embarrassment, and said with a smile: “Sorry, Senior Brother Wang, I don’t understand drinks.”
“Haha, actually Lao Wang doesn’t understand either.” Lu Weiwei also covered her mouth and snickered.
Officer Wang’s heart was filled with excitement, and he chuckled and said, “I don’t understand. Do you, Lu Weiwei, understand it very well?”
“I don’t understand either. I’ve never been to a place like this, but I often see some online singers singing songs in places like this. It’s very interesting.” Lu Weiwei covered her mouth and chuckled, and she also honestly confessed the fact that she didn’t understand. .
At least in Lu Weiwei’s opinion, the consumption here should not be low.
In addition, it is an Internet celebrity music bar, and its popularity is undeniable.
It’s not show time yet, so there aren’t that many people here.
If you don’t order some drinks now, there will be many people who won’t understand you later, and you will feel embarrassed.
“How about Lao Wang, you and Gu Chen go take a look and understand the drinks first. If you really don’t understand, you can ask the bartender to recommend it. Remember to control the price. Our consumption is capped at 1,000 yuan.”
Lu Weiwei gave her own suggestions.
Gu Chen and Officer Wang looked at each other, nodded, and decided to go to the bar to do some research.
After the two left, Lu Weiwei sat alone in her seat playing with her mobile phone. After taking out her hairpin, she draped her hair over her shoulders and twisted her neck to relieve the fatigue of a day’s work.
Not long after, a bespectacled man in student uniform looked around, adjusted his two-dimensional glasses, and strode up to Lu Weiwei.
“Beauty, alone?” the man asked with a smile.
Lu Weiwei looked at the crowd near the bar and could no longer find Gu Chen and Officer Wang. She nodded immediately and asked, “What can I do for you?”
“Beauty, let me treat you to some sweet water.” The man took out a long can of drink and handed it to Lu Weiwei.
“Thank you.” Lu Weiwei took the can from the man’s hand, looked at it in her hand, and said, “Thank you for your kindness, but no need.”
“This is the first time I’ve met such a beautiful woman like you. I’m also alone. Why don’t we share a table and I’ll pay the bill.” The man directly moved Gu Chen’s stool away with jio and sat down familiarly. In front of Lu Weiwei: “I’ll treat you to some sweet water.”
Lu Weiwei was about to refuse again, but as soon as she picked up the can, another person took it in his hand.
“Wait a minute, this wine… isn’t like wine, it’s more like a drink.” A tall, middle-aged man with a stylish silhouette smiled and said, “If you don’t mind, I’ll treat you to something else.”
Then, the man threw the can back into the hand of the man wearing two-dimensional glasses: “I’m sorry, this is my friend.”
“Your friend?” The man wearing two-dimensional glasses saw that the visitor was tall and familiar with the wine category.
Although he knew that this man might not know Lu Weiwei, he still left wisely.
“We don’t seem to know each other?” Lu Weiwei looked at the middle-aged man in front of her. Although he had a beard, he had the masculine demeanor of a mature man.
He is handsome, stylish, and has a gentlemanly demeanor. Compared with the slightly effeminate man just now, he is completely different.
“Girl, there are some wines that must not be touched.” The man sat down opposite Lu Weiwei and said with a smile: “Just like the one he handed you just now, Four Loko, the English name is Four Loko, it is a typical representative .
Lu Weiwei frowned slightly and asked, “Is there anything wrong with this wine?”
The man snapped his fingers in a gentlemanly manner and said, “You look like a girl who doesn’t know how to drink.”
Then, he pointed to the same Four Loko on the bar and said: “This drink is this emerald green color and smells like fruit. In addition to alcohol, Four Loko also contains caffeine and taurine. Acid, guarana, guarana, you know?”
“A plant often used as a stimulant.” Lu Weiwei answered with a smile.
I have been exposed to these in the police chemistry course.
The man was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled: “It seems you still know something. Yes, Four Locks is named after these four ingredients. When you drink it…”
The man paused and said with a smile: “To be honest, it feels a bit like juice, but actually this wine, if it is beer, this bottle is equivalent to six bottles of beer.”
“So powerful?” Lu Weiwei heard this for the first time.
“Of course, because its alcohol content is very high, reaching 14 degrees.” The man stood up directly, waved to a bartender, and pointed to one of the cans of Four Locks.
The bartender handed the Four Rocks to the man, who then sat back in front of Lu Weiwei: “Look, 14%.”
“It’s true.” Lu Weiwei also stretched her neck and looked at the data on the wine label.
The man also smiled and said: “Actually, Four Locks, strictly speaking, is not beer, it is a kind of prepared wine. It is like a sugar-coated cannonball. When you drink it, you feel it tastes good, but before you know it, you drink too much. Yeah, so little girl, you have to be careful when drinking.”
“So that’s it.” Lu Weiwei suddenly realized it and thanked you: “Thank you just now, but I won’t drink wine from strangers.”
“You did the right thing.” The man nodded and said, “Although the bar is a place for communication, there are some people… you still have to be careful, especially if you don’t know how to drink. Don’t drink with strangers at will. of wine.”
“Actually… the formula of Four Locks has been modified to reduce the taurine content.” The man checked the Four Locks in his hand repeatedly and said, “I have drunk the old version before, and no one can last more than two bottles.”
“The old version of Four Locks is more powerful than the current one?” Lu Weiwei’s curiosity was like that of a primary school student listening to a lecture.
“You really can’t drink the old version, it will cause an accident.” The man also reminded sincerely: “Now that the new version has been modified, the concentration is also very high.”
“But isn’t ordinary beer also 8 to 10 degrees?” Lu Weiwei took the Four Locks from the man’s hand and showed the 14% logo in front of him: “But how do you understand the sentence that it is equal to six bottles of beer? “
“Haha.” The man smiled and said, “You are wrong. The malt content you are talking about is the sugar content. The content of ordinary beer is about 2.5 to 3 degrees.”
“It’s true.” Lu Weiwei suddenly smiled.
At this time, Gu Chen and Officer Wang also came over with several bottles of beer and placed them on the table.
“Lu Weiwei, is this your friend?” Officer Wang asked.
“I just met him. He knows a lot about wine.” Lu Weiwei said with a smile.
Then he looked at the beer on the table and asked Gu Chen curiously: “What kind of wine did you order?”
“Just because he didn’t understand much, Senior Brother Wang casually ordered a few bottles of affordable beer.” Gu Chen said.
The man looked at Gu Chen’s extraordinary appearance, and then looked at Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei beside him. He probably knew that these people were friends, or that this handsome young man and this girl who didn’t know how to drink were lovers.
Seeing through but not telling off, the man smiled and said, “I’m used to hiding a few bottles of wine in my bag.”
Then, he took out two bottles of exquisite-looking beer from one of his designer bags and placed them on the table: “How about I treat you to the good wine I brought?”
Lu Weiwei glared and said, “Let’s not say anything else. What do you mean by bringing your own wine in someone else’s bar?”
“Because this is a shop opened by the boss himself.” A bartender then placed four large beer glasses in front of several people from the bar.
“So you are the boss?” Gu Chen suddenly realized.
“Introduce yourself.” The man stretched out his hand with a smile and said, “My name is Han Bing, you can call me Lao Han.”
“Gu Chen.” Gu Chen shook hands.
Later, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei also reported their names, and they were simply acquainted with each other.
Lao Han pried open the beer bottle, poured his own treasure for the three of them, and said with a smile: “This is my favorite wheat beer. I usually don’t sell it in beer bars. I ask foreign friends to send it to me.” ”
“Then we are lucky?” Officer Wang also said with a smile.
Originally, none of us had ever been to a place like this, and we didn’t know much about wine. It was rare to meet the boss at a clear bar, a very polite middle-aged man.
“I’m bored too, so come over and check it out.”
While he was talking, no one noticed that beer bubbles were flowing out along the beer glass.
“Oh, it’s your beer.” Lu Weiwei quickly reminded.
Old Han moved his stool back, and the beer bubbles fell directly along the table to the ground.
“It’s a pity that such valuable wine is lost.” Officer Wang also expressed regret.
“Oops, I accidentally poured it out, but it doesn’t matter.” Old Han also waved his hand, holding the beer bottle and smiled: “But, this is the best part, fortunately I stayed, this is The bottom of it.”
“Bottom?” Lu Weiwei asked suspiciously.
“That’s right, all the nutrients of beer and its yeast are concentrated at the bottom.” Gu Chen also answered.
Old Han took out a few napkins from the bar, cleaned the table, and said with a smile: “Gu Chen, it seems you know something.”
“I took the high-speed train before and saw it in a magazine on the car.” Gu Chen said.
“That’s right, all the nutrients of beer and its yeast are concentrated at the bottom.” Old Han picked up the bottle again, pointed at the bottom and said: “You see, the color is completely different. This wheat beer, In addition to the faint aroma of yeast, there is also an obvious citrus aroma. ”
“And this wine, with its overall thickness and aroma, I personally think it is more suitable for the taste buds of our people.”
Old Han picked up the beer glass, clinked it with everyone, and then said with a smile: “I have finished this glass of wine, and the bottom one in the bottle is also the best. I left it for the last drink, so for people like me, generally It is relatively optimistic, that is to say… there is always hope for the future.”
Watching Lao Han drinking beer and instilling some truths, Gu Chen was also very interested and said: “Listening to what you said, you have changed my view on wine. Drinking is not just about drinking, but walking into the wine.” Deep into the heart of wine.”
“Yes, this is the wine culture I advocate.” As soon as he finished speaking, Old Han poured another big mouthful into his mouth, and then let out a burst of satisfaction.
“What about another kind of person?” Lu Weiwei just took a small sip and asked with a smile.
“Is there another kind?” Old Han smiled slightly and said, “They drank the best beer before drinking it. Such people are generally considered to be pessimistic.”
Looking at Lu Weiwei, Old Han also suggested: “I don’t know which type you belong to, but I have a saying for you, that is, don’t be greedy for good wine, and being a little tipsy is better than being drunk.”
“This sentence is quite good, the essence of wine culture.” Gu Chen also admired it.
The advice from a bar owner is not how to promote his high-priced drinks, but to share the wine culture with others.
Perhaps, this is the success of this internet celebrity bar?
“Boss, why hasn’t the resident singer come yet? This drink is not exciting.” A fat man weighing more than 200 kilograms immediately stood up and protested.
Soon, other people chatting in the bar also responded.
“That’s right, the performance time and the name of the resident singer are clearly marked on the door of Qingba Bar. Why hasn’t it started yet? It’s already been more than fifteen minutes.”
“Yes, boss, what’s going on?”
“You have to be honest when doing business. We old customers can’t just disrespect your customers after making your style music bar popular, right?”
The number of people with complaints is increasing and a manager on duty is dealing with it.
Old Han also smiled and took out his mobile phone and dialed a phone number.
“The performance is about to start. Come here quickly and don’t make it difficult for me.” After saying that, Lao Han hung up the phone and explained with a smile to Gu Chen and the others: “Recently, our style music bar has become famous. The resident singer started to act like a big star, so he always liked to be ten or twenty minutes late.”
“Then will they come? I see that the resident singers marked on the door board are Yi Chen and Jun Ze.” Lu Weiwei said.
“Yes, they are the Internet singers that I have spent a lot of money to become popular. I support their online music creation. They come to my place to perform to make money and bring popularity to my bar. So it is a win-win situation for us.”
After a glass of beer, Lao Han added: “It’s just that these two people are getting harder and harder now. Some of them don’t listen to discipline. They are often late for work, don’t sing hard, or reduce the number of songs themselves.”
Speaking of this, Lao Han seemed quite helpless.
“After working together for a long time, maybe you have new ideas of your own?” Gu Chen said.
“You can sign another batch of singers. After all, people go to higher places. After they become popular, someone will pay a lot of money to poach them.” Officer Wang also gave his own advice.
Lu Weiwei curled her lips and murmured: “I have always liked these two singers Yichen and Junze. I watched them talk about their early busking experiences on a live broadcast. In fact, they were quite miserable. They were in the most difficult time. , and even sold socks on the overpass.”
“Yes, I also found that these two people are very talented and have special voices, so I made a special trip to Jiangbei City to sign them into my Qing Bar and let them become the resident singers here.”
After another glass of beer, Lao Han said helplessly: “People must know how to be grateful, but they don’t seem to think that I gave them the opportunity and platform and provided money to support their music creation. In fact, I am also grateful to them.” It’s not bad, but they also made my Qing Bar popular, so we can be regarded as mutual achievements.”
While Old Han was chattering with emotion, two men in very cool clothes, carrying their own guitars, walked out of the backstage of the bar and walked directly towards the stage.
Then, I heard the whole Qing Bar, everyone, as if they had discussed it in advance, suddenly shouted “Yichen” and “Junze” in unison…
