Seeing Alan go downstairs, the four demon lords and Yupanki turned to look at him.

What happened just now made everyone a little confused. Usually after Alan went downstairs, he rarely went back upstairs before the business was over. Just now, Alan turned around and went back upstairs, so everyone was a little worried.

“Alan, What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Yupanki asked anxiously.

Ever since Abraham moved into the tavern, it had been a long time since he put on his hood. His pale face had become much more expressive recently.

“If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t hide it from us.”

Although Abraham’s words were stiff, his tone was full of concern.

The other three also looked at Alan with worried faces.

Seeing their reactions, Alan was touched. He was glad that he could befriend with them.

“Don’t worry, everyone. I’m fine. Come to the bar. I’ll give you a taste of the good stuff before business!”

He waved at everyone, pushed open the short door, and entered the bar.

The four demon lords all knew that under normal circumstances, only Yupanki and Alan, who could sober up, could enter the bar. The others all sat outside the bar consciously.

Yupanki, who had wanted to go in and help, was rejected. The five big men sat in a row in front of the narrow bar counter and watched Alan.

The bar was Alan’s favorite place in the tavern. He opened the drawer where the drinking utensils were placed and then he looked for the various appliances needed to make cocktails.

Measuring cups, tamping sticks, filters, ice clips, bar spoons, wine muzzles, juicers, and the most crucial shaker.

Alan laid a clean cloth on the bar counter and placed the wine sets out one by one.

Yupanki looked at the wine sets on the table that he had never seen before and was puzzled. Just as he was about to ask, Alan turned around and took out ice cubes suitable for making cocktails from the freezer and placed them in an ice bucket.

He prepared all the raw materials needed for the next two cocktails he was going to make. Alan glanced at the five stunned brawny men opposite him and finally remembered that he needed to explain.

“Next, I’m going to make a brand-new type of drink, cocktails. A cocktail is usually made from two or more types of drinks, together with fruit juice, vegetable juice, and some special condiments.”

As Alan explained, he continued to make cocktails with his hands.

“Cocktails are a type of drink that emphasizes color, aroma, taste, and shape. Therefore, it can also be called an artistic wine.”

The five of them watched the young man perform a set of smooth operations. Taking a bottle, passing the bottle, displaying the bottle, opening the bottle, measuring the wine, mixing, pouring, and decorating. The eight steps seemed simple, in fact, each step was very particular.

Then, Alan chose the fruit that was suitable for decoration, decorated the wine glasses he had chosen, and poured out the prepared wine from the shaker.

Using the low glasses that were used to drink whiskey, he added large chunks of ice to all five glasses. The color of the orange juice was fresh and attractive. A strong sour aroma rushed straight to the tip of one’s nose.

“This one is called whiskey sour. The taste is sour with some sweetness. Everyone, try it.”

Alan pushed the first cocktail that he had prepared in front of the five of them. Although he knew that they had many questions, Alan did not give them the opportunity to ask. He poured himself a glass of whiskey sour, he took small sips and drank.

Asmodeus looked at the intoxicated expression on Alan’s face and took the lead to pick up the glass in front of him. Looking at the alluring color, he calculated in his heart that if he used this cocktail to flirt with his little lambs who needed saving, how should he coax them to the maximum effect.

When the first mouthful of cocktail entered his mouth and flowed down his throat into his stomach, all the thoughts in his mind disappeared. This cocktail was a brand-new taste experience!

Alan finished the cocktail in his cup and looked at the five people in front of him who were all intoxicated. He quietly washed the utensils, poured them cold water for rinsing their mouths, and began to prepare the second cocktail.

By the time they came back to their senses, Alan had already pushed the second cocktail in front of them.

“This is a Chinese Martini. The one is mix with the Burning Knife Soju. Rinse your mouth first and then taste it.”

As Alan moved, everyone began to look forward to it.

Alan was very happy that everyone enjoyed his cocktails.

“This cocktail is not bad. It suits my temperament!” Beelzebub spoke proudly. If he had restrained the infatuation on his face a little, Alan might have believed him.

“It’s just that the taste is a little bland…” Samael liked hard liquor. The taste of cocktails was not his favorite.

“This cocktail will definitely be very effective in coaxing my little lambs.”

Asmodeus was full of thoughts about his girls.

“To be fair, cocktails are still very good. Alan, can I learn how to make this cocktail?” Yupanki was not particular about it. He did not particularly like it, and there were very few who did not like it. However, he seemed to be very interested in all skills.

Abraham did not say anything. He just sat quietly at the side and listened to everyone’s discussion.

It had been a long time since everyone had seen him take out his diary and carefully record it.

“I hope that everyone can learn the skills of bartending, because this is a brand-new culture. In the future, when there are more types of drinks, there will be more combinations of cocktails. It’s not enough to rely on just one person or a small group of people to do it.”

Alan voiced his thoughts. He welcomed Yupanki’s desire to learn.

“There are different combinations, and the products will have different tastes. Everyone likes different tastes, but these are things that need to be explored by bartenders.”

Yupanki nodded repeatedly to show that he understood and asked Alan to teach him how to barter.

Before the pub opened for business, Alan’s temporary cocktail tasting meeting ended.

Ai Xiaohei had completely missed this event because she was sleeping in the backyard. When she returned to the lobby, Beelzebub had told her about the process of everyone tasting the cocktail. She was so angry that she was hopping mad.

While Alan was teaching Yupanki the basic knowledge of bartending, Ai Xiaohei’s proud child’s voice kept ringing in his heart. She acted cute and coquettishly, saying that she wanted to drink cocktails too. Everyone else had already drunk cocktails, but she did not. Hence, she kept making a ruckus.

In the end, Alan had no choice but to agree. He would make another cup for her when they opened for business.

Ai Xiaohei got what she wanted, so she stopped tormenting Alan. As usual, she lay down on the bar counter. From the way her tail swayed, one could tell that she was in an extremely good mood.

The preparations before opening were carried out in an orderly manner as usual.
