Chapter 7 The Bar and the Man in the Bar
ps: There may be another chapter later...... Text: The main island of the Capital of Seven Waters, that is, the shipbuilding island, looks like a huge fountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoFrom a distance, the buildings are stacked like stacked platforms, and the platforms are connected by waterways, except for the city hall at the top and the shipyards on the periphery, but all along the waterways, there is a strong commercial atmosphere.
After all, with the special topography of the capital of seven waters, as well as its position, agriculture, animal husbandry and other industries cannot be developed, and only tourism and commerce can be relied on.
It can be said that the capital of the seven waters is full of commercial districts, and the name of the commercial district is only because it is located in the center and is more prosperous than other places.
The commercial area is located on the opposite side of the city from Dock 1 to avoid noise disturbances from the Dock side. It is said that the distance should be quite long, but thanks to the waterway transportation of the Seven Waters Capital, the two places are connected by the Watergate elevator and the waterway, and you can quickly pass through.
At this time, on the lower floor of the Seven Waters City, a commercial street that is not a central area - the eighth block, a bar called Blue Creek is quietly located here.
The Blue Creek Bar looks to be a certain year old, with the top half of the bar on the water and the other half sinking to the bottom. The part that sank to the water was obviously abandoned, and the damp environment could not even be used as a wine cellar, and the part above the water was built up to create a second-story terrace. It's nice to have a few sips at this bar when you're fine, sit on the terrace, and enjoy the scenery in the breeze.
In fact, according to the bar, the location of Blue Creek is not good, whether it is a commercial area, a dock, or a wharf, the number of customers will be much stronger than the current here - although this is also a commercial area, but after all, it is an old area, and the location is too remote, which limits the source of customers for the bar.
And the taste of the wine in this bar is actually not good, and the environment inside the bar is always too dim, as if the owner is reluctant to give up that little electricity. In addition, there are many faults that can be counted, just like the sign outside the bar that has long since been painted off, there is nothing to attract people.
At least, as far as the residents near the bar are concerned, they wouldn't have come here if it weren't for something like being kicked out of the house by their wife. But to their surprise, the reality was that the bar definitely had quite a few customers. And most of these guests, if you look closely, are very familiar, which is the so-called repeat customers.
The most important thing for any bar is repeat customers. And this bar, which has no merits other than a nice terrace, has many committed regular customers, which naturally seems a bit unusual.
At this point in time, it's not yet time for the nightlife to begin, and most bars choose to close. However, the blue stream opened its doors early, maybe they were just trying to attract a few more guests, right?
In the bar, as expected, there were few people, not even the bartender could be seen, only a slightly chubby middle-aged man with a mustache stood behind the bar, wearing an apron at this time, boringly wiping the quilt. This person is the owner of the bar, with a fat face, and when he is not smiling, he seems to have a hint of joy, and even his eyes disappear when he laughs.
The glass kept turning in circles in his hand, as if it could never be wiped clean, and he didn't see him put it down. Maybe he's just trying to kill time by wiping the cup.
Like all the bars in the Seven Cities, the blue stream has one side against the water, and through the window you can see the not very wide waterway, and from time to time there will be a bull or two swimming in the waterway, but they are only swordfish, and the slightly larger herring is not to be seen, and the waterway here is too narrow for them to gallop.
At this time, there was only one customer in the bar except the owner, who was sitting in the window seat, also looking bored, holding his cheeks and watching the water flow outside the window. In front of him, a strangely shaped glass wine bottle sat quietly, it seemed that there had once been a bright red liquid in the wine bottle, but now only a few drops remained on the wall of the glass.
The guest was a young man with black eyes and black hair, and he looked delicate. Outside the half-open silk shirt was a short shoulder embroidered with gold patterns, and his hair was tied up by a thin strand, and his hair fell down with his tilted head and rested on his collarbone. The black smooth hair and the fair girl-like skin complement each other but never blend, making it look particularly sexy.
"Uh-huh~~~~~~!" the young man, probably too bored, squinted his eyes and snorted softly. However, his voice seems to be extremely comfortable, and the depressed **, coupled with his reddened and slightly open lips, is particularly seductive. Suddenly, the bar owner on the other side shook his hand and almost threw the cup out.
"Hey, Delkule, it's the third time!" the bar owner slammed his cup onto the bar, and the glass collided with the wooden bar with a dull sound, "Please, don't make a GC-like sound, okay?"
"Oops~Aren't people boring~~~~" Delkuler smiled back, winked at the bar owner coquettishly, and the bar owner shuddered again, before he successfully stretched out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips.
"Hey, I didn't say you......" The barkeeper turned around, took out a half-bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, and walked over to Delkule, saying as he went, "What are you doing here in the new world!"
"Ah~ because it's boring!" Delkuler replied as a matter of course.
"Bored, if you're bored, go catch the pirates and show yourself as a pirate hunter!" the bar owner said as if he was not making steel, filling the glass on Delkule's table.
"But I'm on vacation now!" said Delculle, emphasizing the second time he was on vacation, pointing to the glass that was once again filled with bright red wine, "and I won't have the money to pay for another drink." ”
"Count me on you!" said the bar owner helplessly, and a few wrinkles appeared on his chubby face, looking very bitter, "But you can't come to me for a vacation! You come here for a few days, and I won't have any guests for a few days!"
"Oops~ It's all a trifle!Trivial!Who told you that the rum here tastes the best!" Delkule waved his hand and drank the wine in the glass, and then the glass reached out in front of the boss again, "Another glass!"
"You said please~" The index finger stretched out, and Delkule smiled mischievously.
"Hi...... Hi ......" nodded reluctantly, and the boss still obediently poured the wine. Putting down the wine bottle and looking at the liquid level in the bottle, the boss's face became even more bitter.
"I heard that there is a new group of pirates today! The Straw Hat Boys have a total bounty of more than 100 million Baileys!" Watching Delkule drink his treasured rum one by one, the bar owner's cheeks twitched, and he hurriedly changed the subject in order not to make himself more heartbroken.
"Oh, yes, who did you say?" asked Delculle, raising an eyebrow, "from Frankie's gang?"
"yes! I still can't hide it from you!" the boss gave a thumbs up.
"Uh-huh! That must be! What news can hide from my ears! I am the most handsome Master Delculle!" Delculle said with his chin tilted at a wonderful angle, as he held out the cup in his hand again.
The corner of the bar's eyes twitched this time, and he silently filled the wine, and then continued: "I heard that they also brought a lot of gold, where did they loot it? The Frankie family has already set their sights on them! If you don't hurry, maybe this big fish will be snatched away!"
"Cut, those brainless fools!" Delkule snorted disdainfully, snorting disdainfully, "They're the ones who can't handle tens of millions of pirates......!"
Delkuller rolled his eyes to the barkeeper and asked, "Why did you take the initiative to reveal information to me today?" Calford Strosson! This is not your reputation in the past! Mr. Grandet in the shadows?"
"Uh......" Calford, the owner of the bar, choked for a moment, opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say, did he just say let the other party go? Thinking of Delkuller's nickname of "vampire" to insiders, and the bad character he knew, he estimated that if he said it, he treasured it......
Thinking of this, Calford, who was respectfully known as "Grande", couldn't help but shudder.
"Don't worry, I don't care about this kind of small fish and shrimp yet!Besides, if it's only 100 million Baileys, it's not enough to pay for your drink, right?" Delculler chuckled and put the drained cup back on the table, "Besides, the pirates of the old world are boring guys." ”
"Tut-tut, the tone is as arrogant as ever!" Calford pouted, "and 100 million Baileys is not a small amount ......of money!
"That's a must! I'm Delkule!" Delkuller twirled the ring on his index finger slightly, "but I've found an interesting guy lately!"
"Aren't you on vacation?" Calford paused, then felt the urge to slap himself in both mouths.
"yes, so I'm ready for ...... Watch the show~" Delkule said casually, "By the way, let's have another drink~" Laughing, Delkule raised the empty cup in front of Calford with both hands.
"Bang!" The obese boss finally couldn't stand the high blood pressure and rolled his eyes and fell to the ground. And the bottle of rum, which was only half small, reproached him for holding it tightly, and even the bottle had sunk deep into the fat.
