Just as Bei Chen finished mixing the drinks, Feng Yueke arrived: "Hahaha, better late than never, please let me have a drink."
"Young man, why are you interrupting me!" Liang Guyin thought she was already very fast, but she didn't expect there to be someone even faster than her.
The pleasure-seeker looked at the newcomer, somewhat bewildered: "Excuse me, who are you?"
In this setting, in a live stream with millions of viewers, someone who dares to so brazenly compete with the "Fengyueke" for drinks is definitely not an ordinary person.
Just because the womanizer didn't recognize him didn't mean others wouldn't. Soon, people around stood up to introduce him:
"This is Liang Guyin, the president of the Kyushu Pipa Association!"
"His mastery of the pipa, a national treasure, relegated foreign violin masters to the role of mere accompanist..."
After this explanation, netizens suddenly realized:
[My goodness! The president of the Pipa Association is here in person! It seems the Pipa Association really values this performance of ancient music!]
This makes me even more eager to hear this ancient pipa piece. What kind of charm does it possess to attract someone of this caliber?
[No, no, it's not just the president of the Pipa Association, the president of the Piano Association is here too.]
This guy is amazing. Although his composition skills are average, his piano skills are admired even by some international piano masters.
He is now ranked 39th on the global list of pianists who perform.
This is the second entity to enter the top 50 of this list.
[...]
They were referring to Beihe Mountain.
The first person to enter the global list of pianists is Beiheshan's teacher.
Today, Bei Chen's piano skills have reached the level of a national treasure, and this lineage can be described as the best in the piano world.
Bei Chen, hidden behind the mask, twitched at the corner of his mouth. His parents had actually come to the scene?
This was something he hadn't expected.
But the support they gave was really impressive!
The number of viewers in the live stream surged dramatically at that moment, heading straight for 1.2 million.
However, this is just the beginning!
Following Beiheshan, the president of the Erhu Association also attended!
The president of the Guzheng Association was present!
The president of the Guqin Association was present!
The president of the flute association was present!
...
The presence of such high-profile figures elevated the atmosphere of the event many times over.
The shock caused the pleasure-seeker to take several steps back. "This glass of wine should be given to these big shots. We little shrimps can't afford it!"
[Hahaha, poor Mr. Fengyueke, forgive me for laughing so heartlessly.]
[But I must say, this lineup is truly terrifying; you can see the atmosphere on set has become quite tense.]
[Mr. Mask is alright, still quite composed, but the members of the Wind Whisper Band, who were chatting and laughing just now, now look completely stiff, hahaha!]
How could they not be stiff? It's one thing to play around normally, but now there are officials watching live; not many bands get this kind of opportunity...
[...]
Bei Chen knew without even guessing that this was his mother's doing.
But my mom actually had such influence that she managed to invite all of these people!
He was deeply shocked, but he managed to hide it well.
He quickly made a few more cups of side dishes and then served them to them one by one.
"Gu Yin, is this the cocktail you were talking about? It looks like a beverage!"
These association presidents are all in their forties or fifties, not too young.
Not particularly interested in bars, this was naturally my first time trying cocktails.
But this doesn't mean they don't drink alcohol. Music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, and flowers are all part of their pursuits, so naturally they don't reject them.
Moreover, sometimes, after a little drink, the music played becomes even more unrestrained and exhilarating.
However, they all maintain a certain balance, ensuring that it doesn't affect their signature skills.
"Try it, you might be pleasantly surprised." Liang Guyin said, then took a sip herself.
The other association presidents all knew Liang Guyin and wouldn't speak without reason. Since they had already said so, there was no harm in giving it a try.
Everyone tried it, and it was amazing!
Upon tasting, the aroma of citrus surrounds the mouth and nasal cavity, along with a clear and pleasant acidity.
It then quickly transitions to the aroma of cognac aging, with a hint of playful cocoa.
Overall, it is sweet, smooth, and pleasant, with a lingering, elegant fragrance.
The rich flavor impressed all the presidents.
"It doesn't have the harshness of alcohol, but it has the unique flavor of brandy, and with the blending of other ingredients, the taste is even more refreshing and rich."
"Is this the cocktail that Gu Yin mentioned? It certainly has something special about it."
"That's right, it's more enjoyable than drinking spirits alone."
The praise from several association presidents greatly impressed netizens and customers at the scene.
But these are all association presidents, so there's no reason for them to be shills; their evaluations are of great reference value.
With 10 minutes left before the official start time, Beichen has enough time to release another one.
"Now let's start making the second cocktail."
This one doesn't require a shaker, so Bei Chen simply took out the Collins cup, filled it to 70% capacity with ice, and first used the handle spoon to stir the ice to chill it.
Next, pour in 45ml of dark rum and 10ml of lime juice.
Dark rum and white rum have different flavors.
White rum has a sweet and delicate flavor, while dark rum is aromatic and rich, so when used in this drink, it is important to pay more attention to the balance of flavors.
Lime is more acidic and astringent than lemon, and its aroma is not as strong, so it is less likely to spoil the flavor of the wine.
Next, pour the cola to nine-tenths full, then stir it 15-17 times with a spoon. After stirring well, add a lime as a garnish.
A cocktail with an appearance and color scheme similar to Long Island Iced Tea is now complete.
"This wine is called 'Cuba Libre,' which represents the passionate and unrestrained Aries in the zodiac."
Having learned from the experience of the sidecar incident, the association presidents became even more interested in Cuba Liberty.
If you use white rum to make a Cuba Libre, the overall taste will be more mellow and refreshing.
It's especially suitable for drinking on hot summer days, as if you're on the beach, enjoying the freedom and joy brought by the sea breeze and sunshine.
But this uses dark rum, which gives it a completely different flavor.
The first taste is an explosion of cola bubbles, accompanied by the refreshing aroma of lime, making it very crisp and refreshing.
Then comes the slightly spicy sensation from the dark rum, which begins to stimulate the taste buds.
Then came a creamy aroma, smooth and delicate, a stark contrast to the cola.
Overall, the taste is almost impeccable.
And so, the two new cocktails were successfully launched, attracting even more customers in the future.
Then comes the main topic.
The three ancient melodies are about to begin...
