Tobirama raised his head.
"What?"
"The Perfect Martini."
Zhang Yu repeated it.
Tobirama frowned.
He had been exposed to beer, vodka, erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), and several other types of alcohol.
But this was the first time he had ever heard of the name "Perfect Martini".
"Is this wine?"
"Cocktail."
What, then, is a cocktail?
Looking at Tobirama's puzzled Tobirama, Zhang Yu suddenly realized something.
The Undead Tavern has a good selection of drinks.
There are quite a few employees.
But even now, the bar doesn't have a professional bartender.
The customer ordered beer; they simply opened the bottle.
If you want vodka, pour it into a glass as well.
When faced with a cocktail like the Perfect Martini, which requires mixing, everyone can only stare blankly.
Zhang Yu stroked his chin.
"The tavern really needs to add a new position."
Tobirama asked, "What position?"
Bartender.
"Specializing in mixing various types of alcohol."
Zhang Yu said, "By mixing different alcoholic beverages in the right proportions and adding other ingredients, you can create completely different flavors."
Tobirama listened more attentively.
"Similar to a ninja drug formulation?"
The principle is somewhat similar.
"But what's mixed is alcohol."
Just then, a system notification popped up.
[bite!]
[A vacancy has been detected in the Undead Tavern position.]
[New main quest triggered.]
[Quest Name: Senior Tavern Bartender]
[Task Requirement: Train a senior bartender.]
[Task Reward: 20,000 Gold Coins.]
After reading the mission, Zhang Yu's gaze fell directly on Tobirama.
The right candidate is right in front of us.
Tobirama was intelligent.
He is also skilled in research and development.
Many Ninjutsu in the Shinobi World originated from him.
Learning bartending certainly won't be slow.
Most importantly, Tobirama was already in charge of the accounts at the bar.
When a customer orders a drink, he can mix it with ease.
Tobirama.
"Are you interested in changing jobs?"
Tobirama immediately became alert.
"The finance department is no longer doing its job?"
"Finance will continue."
Zhang Yu said, "I'll also work as a bartender at the pub."
Tobirama looked at him but did not immediately agree.
What exactly needs to be done?
Learn about various types of alcoholic beverages.
"Familiar with bartending tools."
"After the customer places an order, you will prepare the food yourself."
Zhang Yu paused for a moment, then continued, "During the learning process, you can personally sample various wines."
Tobirama initially showed no reaction.
Upon hearing that they could taste the wine, their attitude immediately changed.
He doesn't have many hobbies.
Studying Ninjutsu counts as one.
Drinking alcohol counts too.
The tavern had a wide variety of drinks, but he had never really looked into them.
Becoming a bartender not only allows you to work with a wider variety of alcoholic beverages, but also lets you create different flavors by hand.
"Can I try all the wines?"
"Of course, it's necessary for my studies."
"I'll also be responsible for developing the formula?"
"Learn the existing formulas first."
Zhang Yu said, "Once you're proficient, you can study new things if you want."
Tobirama only considered it for a few seconds.
"Can."
"I'll take this job."
Zhang Yu immediately opened the System Shop.
Soon, a thick book appeared on the panel.
"From Novice to Professional Bartender (Quick Guide)"
Price: 2000 gold coins.
"Buy."
[bite!]
[Deducted 2000 gold coins.]
[Purchase successful.]
The book appeared in Zhang Yu's hands.
Tobirama seeing this, Tobirama immediately reached out and took it.
The book is very thick.
It contains more than just words.
The beverage classification, tool usage, mixing ratios, and complete steps are all accompanied by pictures.
Tobirama casually flipped through a few pages, his reading speed increasing rapidly.
"I see."
"The taste, concentration, and proportion of different base spirits will all affect the final product."
"There are also requirements regarding the size of the ice cubes."
The cups need to be processed in advance.
He flipped through another dozen or so pages.
It's not complicated.
Zhang Yu asked, "How long will it take to learn?"
The Tobirama closed the book.
"One week."
"Within seven days, I will master all the bartending techniques."
Zhang Yu had no doubts.
For an ordinary person, memorizing the recipe from such a thick book would take a long time.
But Tobirama is no ordinary person.
Having mastered techniques like Flying Thunder God, Shadow Clone, and Impure World Reincarnation, learning bartending was no challenge for him at all.
"OK."
"I checked the results a week later."
"No problem."
Tobirama placed the book next to the account book.
Zhang Yu opened the System Shop again.
Having books alone is not enough.
The drinks and equipment also need to be provided.
Cocktail shaker, measuring cup, strainer, bar spoon, ice bucket, glasses.
Various base spirits and auxiliary materials are also essential.
He selected the complete set of professional tools and corresponding beverages in one go.
[Total Price: 50,000 Gold Coins.]
[Buy or not?]
"Buy."
[bite!]
[Deducted 50,000 gold coins.]
[Purchase successful.]
[Current Gold Coin Balance: 150,000.]
The next second, a large quantity of drinks and equipment appeared neatly behind the bar.
The previously empty wine racks were quickly filled.
The bottles were arranged according to their type.
Different shaped wine glasses are placed in their dedicated glass holders.
Metal cocktail shakers and measuring instruments are also neatly arranged on the worktable.
Tobirama stood up and began to inspect each item.
Bai heard the noise and peeked out from the stairwell.
Sakura also stopped in the corridor.
Tenten was holding an unopened gift box, staring at the suddenly appearing wine rack.
"So much stuff?"
Zhang Yu patted the bar counter.
"A complete set of bartender equipment."
Tobirama picked up the sake measure and checked the volume at both ends.
He picked up the cocktail shaker again and tested its opening and closing mechanism.
"The tools are good."
"The selection of drinks is sufficient."
Zhang Yu looked at his remaining 150,000 gold coins and felt no heartache whatsoever.
Fifty thousand gold coins seems like a lot.
However, if Tobirama is successfully trained, the system will reward him with 20,000.
Mixing drinks can increase the bar's revenue in the future.
This investment was well worth it.
Tenten finishing his business in the front hall, he returned to his room with the gift box.
She closed the door and placed the box on the bed.
"I'd like to see what's so special about maid outfits."
The box lid was opened.
The ease on Tenten's face vanished instantly.
A black and white dress was layered inside.
The collar, cuffs, and apron are all exquisite.
Next to it were white stockings, a headband, and matching shoes.
The skirt was much shorter than she had expected.
The waist is also very cinched.
This is hardly the attire of an ordinary servant.
Tenten picked up the skirt and held it up against herself.
My cheeks quickly felt hot.
Why didn't Boss Zhang Yu explain things clearly just now?
She remembered the promise she had made, and felt a pang of regret.
If I go out and refuse now, Sakura will just laugh at me.
And she just agreed to take the waitress assessment yesterday.
If she doesn't even dare to wear a work uniform, Zhang Yu will definitely doubt her service attitude.
Tenten gritted her teeth.
"It's just a set of clothes, isn't it?"
"Fine, I'll wear it."
A few minutes later, the door reopened.
Tenten slowly walked out of the room.
The black and white maid outfit fit her figure perfectly.
A white apron was tied around her waist.
Long stockings covered her calves.
She usually walks with a brisk pace, but now she keeps reaching out to pull at the hem of her skirt.
