catmint bar: Cuba Libre, Kalimotxo, buttered popcorn

Recently, there have been fewer customers at the Cat Mint Bar, probably because of the epidemic. Try not to go to crowded places. But the most important thing is that the currency circle is filled with a bear market atmosphere. The currency value of LIKE has shrunk more than 10 times since I joined Matters in the second half of last year. I am afraid that everyone is too lazy to even clap!

It doesn’t matter, the bar can be fictitious, Ah Meow can be fictitious, and I can design it myself even if there are no customers.

It is inevitable that customers from the wrong room will suddenly show up at the bar and yell, " How could they not sell coffee ?" or run in temporarily and say that they are dizzy, " But I forgot if I have taken any blood pressure lowering medicine ?" and ask Is there a blood pressure monitor I can borrow?

The weirdo customers often bring a lot of joy and vitality to the bar. Ah Miao and I always look at each other and smile. And the guests in the affair always exude the feeling of enjoying pleasure more than the lovers.

They know how to capture the joy of condensing endless emotions in an abnormal time and stealing the pleasure of the person they love.

When checking out, I tipped a lot and I was happy to give it. He smiled like a fool at Ah Meow, as if he was smiling unintentionally. Don't tell anyone else.

This was so obvious that Ah Meow and I looked at each other and smiled again.

Whenever the uncle and aunt come to the bar, Ah Miao will play "Waste of Love" by Xiao An. Two watery, ambiguous eyes immediately appeared on the uncle's wrinkled old face like a pug. This is already the inside story of the Cat Mint Bar, and the old assholes are snickering.

My uncle always orders the (old school) Long Island Iced Tea and then orders a dessert for my aunt, usually tiramisu .

It is true that this does not comply with the rules of low consumption, but Ah Meow respects the "sweet sharing" ceremony of the elders. The main thing is that when Ah Meow serves Long Island Ice Tea, he always pronounces it "Long Dick Ice Tea" with his big tongue and leaky words. Uncle is so happy that he immediately takes out money and puts it in Ah Meow's pocket, and then quickly pushes Ah Meow away, as if He knew that everyone was waiting for this scene and making fun of him.

I can’t remember what they looked like, because as soon as I started, my mind automatically transformed into the silly Uncle Pug and the cute Auntie Red Poodle.

It is said that during their first date, the coffee shop where they originally planned to meet was suddenly closed. His uncle looked around and couldn't find anyone nearby, so he had to sneak into an underground bar that barely looked like a coffee shop. When he saw Ah Miao, he immediately asked , "Do you sell coffee or juice?" Uh... uh, it took a while before I replied, "Juice is available, but..." The uncle yelled loudly and anxiously, "We'll come in as soon as possible." The result was no (pure juice).

What kind of coffee should I drink to pick up a girl? My uncle became a customer in one try. Will the innocent pug laugh? Yes, when Auntie Hongguin didn't see it, the way my uncle ordered the wine was like adding a drug to the juice. (It’s just a cup of Long Island iced tea, with an alcohol concentration of 30%, lemon juice, and some cola)

Auntie took a sip or two of tiramisu. Uncle drank half of the Long Island ice tea and was talking to himself. It turned out that the aunt was just smiling throughout the whole process, spoke volumes and had an elegant temperament. Ah Miao later found out that this aunt had mistakenly entered a bar a few months ago and wanted to borrow a blood pressure monitor. She kept saying that she felt dizzy and had forgotten whether she had taken any medicine. Another time, she was in a daze. Knowing why she came, she was finally taken back by her son.

Ah Miao brought plums mixed with water and mixed with whiskey. A plump plum was suspended on the edge of the cup. He saw the laptop screen and laughed at me for arbitrarily adapting the customer's story again.

He told me "another version" of the story about his uncle and aunt.

They are colleagues, just in different departments, and they often come here for a drink after get off work on weekends. When I went to the Cat Mint Bar for the first time, they looked like a middle-aged couple, but behaved like shy lovers. Not sure what to order, Amiao recommended this pair of colleagues who are "AUO and above, but not yet lovers", a glass of "Cuba Libre" (rum + Coke) and "Kalimotxo" (red wine + Coke), dedicated to the lovers. , as a result, the two of them said at the same time: "We are just colleagues!" As expected, they had a perfect understanding.

The appetizer is buttered popcorn, the taste of adolescents!

(Just fucking my brother or my sister, I understand!)

As a result, the aunt resigned after less than two years as a colleague. Everyone was wondering whether something good was coming for the two of them. The uncle who occasionally appears alone in the bar told Ah Miao that the aunt raised her son alone and later suffered from dementia. Now her son is taking care of her, but her son has just graduated from college.

"Do you want to marry her?"

Uncle asked Ah Miao, when a person can no longer say "I do" and I am the only one who is willing, do you think this is fair to her?

In the next few years, my uncle fully supported my aunt's family financially. After retirement, I spent almost all my time with my aunt during the day.

As before, I would come to the Cat Mint Bar on weekends and order a glass of "Kalimotxo" (red wine + Coke) for my aunt. The aunt who is always smiling, can't remember who she is, but she will take a few bites of buttered popcorn, as if she is nodding gently, and says to her uncle, actually I understand!

They are not a couple, but they are better companions than a couple.
