During this time, Chen Yi has mainly focused on working at the "Passing Through the Night" bar and has been undergoing physical rehabilitation and exercise. Due to the need to avoid excessive exposure, his life is mainly limited to the bar and the surrounding area. However, despite his limited activities, Chen Yi still manages to experience the unique charm of this street during occasional outings.
Whenever the bar needs to replenish supplies or other daily necessities, Chen Yi is sent out to make purchases. These brief outings give him the opportunity to further understand the neighborhood he is in. He discovers that the street is home to a variety of small shops, including different styles of cafes, tea shops offering select teas, as well as stores selling daily groceries and handicrafts.
This bustling shopping street is filled with the vitality of life and a lively atmosphere. People come here to socialize, shop, and enjoy coffee, while the shop owners on the street are familiar with each other, forming a close-knit community. Chen Yi often stops during these brief outings to chat with the shop owners or carefully observe the unique features of these stores.
Although this street is teeming with diverse scenes of life, Chen Yi is unaware of the hidden secrets behind it. To him, it is simply a vibrant and friendly place, a refuge where he can temporarily forget his worries.
In this environment, Chen Yi's life gradually entered the right track, and he found a new rhythm and tranquility here. Every time he returned from the street to the bar, he brought some fresh ingredients and a full sense of life, continuing his daily work at "Night Passerby."
As time passed, Chen Yi's life at the "Night Passerby" bar has been close to a year. In this year, he not only learned many cocktail techniques and cooking knowledge, but also continued to exercise his body. Under Lin Fan's guidance, he gained a deeper understanding and mastery of the art of mixology, and learned more delicate cooking techniques from Lin Wanqing.
Their relationship became closer as time went by. In their daily work and interactions, Chen Yi felt himself gradually becoming a part of this little family. Although he occasionally still thought of his parents and felt anger and sadness, whenever he immersed himself in work, these emotions would be temporarily set aside.
However, behind this harmonious life, Chen Yi felt that some things seemed to be hidden. Especially Lin Wanqing, he noticed that she often left quietly in the early morning or late at night, after the bar had closed. Her whereabouts were mysterious, always slipping away without anyone noticing, which piqued Chen Yi's curiosity.
Chen Yi felt confused about this and didn't know the reason behind Lin Wanqing's behavior. Although he wanted to inquire, he was afraid of disrupting the existing harmonious relationship between them. Therefore, he chose to remain silent for the time being, observing these subtle changes, filled with doubt and curiosity in his heart.
In this year, Chen Yi's life seemed to have entered a whole new stage, but deep down, he still held unresolved mysteries about the past events. And in this seemingly peaceful environment, there were secrets lurking that he had not yet discovered.
Chen Yi On the occasion of the first anniversary of the "Night Passerby" bar, Lin Fan decided to hold a small celebration to express his welcome and recognition of him. On that day, Lin Fan specially closed the bar early to create an intimate and warm celebration environment.
Lin Fan asked Lin Wanqing to help prepare some special dishes. When Chen Yi learned about this, he felt both touched and a little embarrassed. He offered to help Lin Wanqing on his own initiative, but Lin Wanqing just gently shook her head and smiled, telling him to just enjoy the evening and not to help.
At this moment, Lin Fan smiled and looked at Chen Yi, suggesting, "Why not take this opportunity to test the cocktail skills you've learned over the past year?" Lin Fan's words made Chen Yi feel both excited and nervous. This was not only an opportunity to showcase his learning achievements, but also a moment to express gratitude to Lin Fan and Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing was busy in the kitchen, preparing delicious dishes, while Lin Fan sat at the bar, looking forward to Chen Yi's performance. Chen Yi was dressed in a neat bartender uniform, standing behind the bar with anticipation and excitement in his eyes. The challenge posed by Lin Fan made him feel both pressured and motivated, as he was ready to demonstrate everything he had learned over the past year.
Chen Yi begins to prepare the first signature cocktail, specially crafted for Lin Fan. Knowing Lin Fan's preferred flavors, he selects a cocktail that combines apple brandy and blackcurrant, adding a touch of fresh lemon juice and a hint of simple syrup to balance the sweet and sour. As he skillfully shakes the cocktail shaker and pours the mixture into a chilled glass, garnishing it with a slice of apple and a fresh mint leaf, Lin Fan's eyes sparkle with appreciation.
Next, Chen Yi sets out to create a fresh and creative cocktail for Lin Wanqing. He chooses gin as the base, adding homemade grapefruit syrup and a dash of fresh ginger juice to infuse the drink with vitality and a subtle spiciness. He elegantly swirls the cocktail shaker, ensuring each ingredient is perfectly blended. Finally, he lightly sprinkles crushed ice on the surface of the drink, garnishing it with a twist of grapefruit peel and a sprig of rosemary, making the drink not only delicious but also visually appealing.
As the evening progressed, Chen Yi also made several classic and innovative cocktails for them, each showcasing his passion for the art of mixology and attention to detail. His movements were smooth and confident, with each shake and pour filled with rhythm, like a captivating performance.
