'Cocktail Potion' by Transworld Transfer Bartenders

"Well, let's start with Phil."

"Yes!

He called me, and Phil stood in front of the workbench looking pretty nervous.

Me, Sue, Sally, Rye and Mr. Oyaji, the lookouts, sit at the counter and watch.

Phil was holding his hand and opening it repeatedly while trying not to see much of the human face lined up.

"Don't be too nervous. This is only the first time."

"Wow, I get it"

"... you don't really understand."

I can only give back a bitter laugh when they say it in a voice solidified by a bee.

Phil seemed conscious, too, and was slightly embarrassed.

After that, Phil shifts his gaze and checks the position of the instrument provided as he points. Major cups, shakers, bar spoons and knives, and glasses.

The cold table was also opened only once to check the bottles of ice and ingredients.

I called to see if it was time.

"Well, here we go."

"Yes."

After I reply, I'll be ready to slap my hand.

Sitting next to me, Sui grabbed a stopwatch-like tool in this world.

After seeing that Sui was ready, I spoke of the challenge.

"Well, [Gin Tonic] and [White Lady] and 'Orange Juice', within three minutes. Begin!"

With the first words, I slapped my hands on bread.

What I'm getting now is a simple exam.

The content is simple.

Prepare all three beverages mentioned earlier, within three minutes. That's all.

When it comes to how to do this, it is to acquire the least amount of bartender movement.

Movements in this case mean optimizing behavior to suit the situation on the spot and practicing the best you can.

To put it even more simply, how does it move faster?

Typically, bartenders don't make a glass of discipline once three cocktails are ordered at the same time.

Reduce time by first preparing three glasses, adding ice at once, or if you have the same ingredients, putting them in at the same time.

Well, I'm trying to get you to wear the basics right now.

Let's take an example of an earlier order.

Set aside "Orange Juice," [Gin Tonic] and [White Lady].

What these two have in common is the use of 'gin' - 'gini'.

So, when weighing Gini in a major cup (a liquid measuring instrument), it's faster to put it in each container at once.

Opening a stopper is a surprisingly time-consuming point, even for one bottle.

Also, I always make cocktails in the order of squeezing fruit juice, adding ice, and adding other ingredients.

However, if this is a challenge, the task of shortening time and squeezing fruit juice is followed by weighing the ingredients in. Then add ice and finally orange juice or tonic water to fill the container.

The reason is when to use a major cup.

When making [White Lady], squeeze the fruit juice first and measure the missing fruit juice in a major cup with the juice.

We use the major cup during that operation, so we put the ice motion behind us and bring the weighing first.

However, there are actions that should not be omitted. For example, putting ice in the shaker must be just before the shake.

If you add ice with the other glasses, the completion itself will be quicker, but the ice will melt out even though you have done nothing, and if you look at the completion, it will drop.

If I don't strictly adhere to those places, I'll be an unsavory cocktail no matter how soon.

Even if omitted, sharpen the less affected areas, leaving them where they should not be sharpened.

If you poke at such fine behavior, that alone shrinks time in minutes.

From there, how can we naturally do that quickly?

Once you have your way, all you have to do is remind your body of it over and over again, dozens, hundreds and thousands of times.

The repetition allows for aggressive behavior in the course of business, which in turn leads to customer satisfaction.

"So, we're done"

In front of him, Phil offered three glasses each.

'Orange Juice', 'Gin Tonic', 'White Lady' from left.

With a nervous look on his face, Phil was looking at me with a flicker.

I glanced at Sui before I put my hand on the glass.

"Sui, what's the time?

Five minutes, twenty seconds.

When he hears Sui's merciless proclamation, Phil drops his shoulder.

"... ha"

"Ma, that's what happened at first. That's how I was."

"Is that true?

"True"

When I inspired Phil, he grabbed his fist a long time ago and renewed his feelings.

Finally, in this exam, I suddenly let Phil do it with little to nothing to teach me.

But Phil, even for the first time, had the basics.

I guess I didn't have to teach you to get all the ingredients out first or to do the same work at the same time, but I would have seen and learned what I was always like.

It took time, but if we knew where it was, we should be improving fast.

"So, what about the flavor?

"Oh, sorry, I'll take it"

Phil prompted me to include his made [White Lady] in a glass of mouth.

The spiciness of Gini, the acidity of the lemons and the sweetness of the coantro come together well. For the first time in two months of training, it can only be done well.

If this happens, even if a new customer comes, they won't say it tastes bad.

"Taste passes. Anyway, you need to get up to speed."

In my words, Phil had a relief look for a moment.

In the case of Phil, after that, he shall lose his stray anyway.

If we make one move faster and run out of time to think in between, three minutes will run out in no time.

One mouth on the other glass, and after nodding again, um, I called the name of the other apprentice.

"See you next, Sally."

"I've been waiting!

Sally answers my call with a cheerful voice.

As it was, he went in to the counter with a strong foothold and turned his sleeve around.

He gives me a challenging look when I gently tap Phil's back, which is slightly depressing, to get him out of the counter.

"You're so confident."

"Naturally. I saw Phil's earlier and figured out how to do it. It won't fail."

Apparently, she's willing to succeed in three minutes of the assignment.

Well, the first time I let Phil do it, it was actually because there was something I thought.

Phil is the type to think well, but Sally is the type to move with immediate problems.

Phil doesn't have to be taught anything to think and move his muscles, but Sally can be very bad at that kind of place.

So if I got Sally ahead of me with no thought, I could see the consequences for Gudagda.

So I wanted Phil to set an example once and see how far Sally could go.

"Well, that's all I'm saying, so can you give me two minutes and thirty seconds?"

"Hey, wait a minute!

"Just kidding."

When I tease her, Sally catches tears in a little panic.

I don't know if he's confident or not.

"Bye, Sue. Ready?"

"It's always okay"

Sui shook a stopwatch tool, so I nodded and put my hand forward.

"So, [Gin Tonic], [White Lady] and 'Orange Juice' in three minutes. Begin!"

When I slapped my hand on the bread, Sally went into immediate work.

"Thank you for waiting."

Where Sally offers three glasses, Suey stops the stopwatch.

And I said the result before I asked.

"Wow. Three minutes and ten seconds. I passed in ten seconds."

"Naturally!

Sally snorted so good, she looked at Phew Phew, me and then Phil.

But before I could say anything to her, I stared at the glass I could.

"Sally, do you understand the intent of this exam?

"You just have to make it fast, right?

…………

To my question, Sally said without breaking her grin.

When I accidentally turned to a comrade sitting on the counter, Mr. Oyaji was sending me a sympathetic gaze.

I smile tired and then reach out to Sally's made [White Lady].

"I'll have it."

"Enjoy, please."

And includes a bite of that thin white liquid.

…………

"Sally. Here's a [White Lady] made by Phil a few minutes ago. Compare yourself to a drink."

"To?"

"Because it's good"

Sally puts her mouth on Fearful Phil's made [White Lady] after shaking those eyes with anxiety for just a little bit.

After closing his eyes to bite that flavor, he now included his own made [White Lady].

"... that's not good."

"It doesn't taste good, does it? You think you can get it out to customers?

"... no"

Where Sally sinks, I say words that encourage me again.

"I've conveyed enough of your desire to hurry, and the fact is, speed is getting to a good point. The rest is the accuracy of the work. Just a little less waste in between and use your time where it matters, and you'll pass right away."

"Ugh."

"Don't snag. The test should do the least for now. You'd be right there."

"Is it true?

"True."

In Sally's case, the feeling was that it was early anyway.

As a result, the ingredients are cluttered, the selection of ice is appropriate, the taste is mixed by not immersing the major cup in water, or the shaker is left with ice.

Anyway, it was noticeable that I was scraping to a point where I shouldn't have.

But it's something I can teach you right around the corner. Originally, the memory itself isn't bad, so it will probably be Sally who passes this exam first.

"Then the first exam is over. Individually, practice with water."

Speaking face-to-face, including the gallery, I slapped my dad and his hand to tighten.

"Yes."

"I understand."

Phil and Sally each tried to clean up the glasses on the spot in gratitude for the special victory.

"Oh, don't throw it away. I'll drink all your cocktails for once."

"Huh?"

"Is it true?

Phil and Sally each looked strange to my suggestion.

Well, normally, a cocktail made in these exams is doomed to be thrown away for the rest of it, unless it's a mess.

But I wanted to take a little responsibility for my first apprentice.

"As a testament to your growth, I want to remember the flavor."

Saying, Phil changed his expression as a little lit up and Sally as a little rushed.

"Well, if that's the case, have a better cocktail!

Unlike Phil, who was so deliciously made, Sally reaches for the glass to wipe out her failures.

But I took it away before it got to the glass.

"Whoa, Sally. I even drank your [screwdriver]. I thought we could fix it now."

"Ugg."

Sally frowned all the time and stared at me without saying anything back.

For a little while, did your consciousness as a bartender sprout? It seems somewhat embarrassing for me to drink an unsavory cocktail.

When you're impressed with the growth of Sally like that,

"Bad taste"

Suddenly I was flanked by Sui.

The itchy pain spreads from your flank to your body.

"So, su, sui?

"I hate you, I'll give it back to you"

"Okay, so don't follow me!

I lost Sui's offense and returned the [White Lady] I had in my hand to Sally.

Sally tried to take it away and drank it up with Gokugoku as it was.

"Wow, it's sour, spicy, and watery."

Sally said clearly to the cocktail she made, after she spilled her thoughts on it, to me.

"Is that good! I'll make a better cocktail, so leave it that way for the general to remember!

I see. I'm looking forward to it.

I smiled back at Sally's challenging words.

Next to that Sally, he rode himself out all the time without Phil, and he told me.

"Mr. General. Me, too, same. You'll be able to make a better cocktail than you do now. So stay tuned."

"... then you're expecting"

Usually to the insistence of an understated Phil, he now returned a eagle-fried nod.

And it made me feel warm to the two disciples who were motivating me.
