At night, the sprawling neighborhood of southern Manhattan Island is sparsely lit with lights. Without television, the Internet, and movies, nightlife in the 17th century was boring to the extreme, and homemade poker and mahjong became one of the few forms of entertainment that could pass the night.

Another kind of entertainment venue, which has never been lacking in almost every era, is still unfolding in a corner of the Manhattan neighborhood shopping street, but the extremely high consumption and the disdainful gaze of female residents make many people dare not go often.

The one-storey, 100-square-meter bar is one of the few buildings in Manhattan that is still in the pure log style. Except for the modern energy-saving lamps behind the bar, all the other corners are lit with candles to set the mood.

The middle-aged man dressed in a short shirt leaned back on the bar with a smile, looking at the bar he designed himself with a satisfied expression, as if he remembered his old life again.

The strict issue of gender made all the bigwigs of the serious community committee compromise on a certain issue. Although Su Zining and Yan Xiaosong sent a few special professional women who could not get along in Europe, the male committee members who took care of their faces quickly reached a consensus after sighing and condemning on the surface, and the establishment of a red-light district in the Manhattan neighborhood is currently second only to the production of cannons and steam engines.

But who is in charge of running the business? This question has stuck the committee members who led the survivors of the catastrophe to bravely open up a new world of life. In the end, it was an unsolicited application letter that relieved the people at the helm of the community council.

Guanyun, before the catastrophe, was the owner of a private restaurant in the dock area of Y City. He is 39 years old this year, of medium height, with a polite appearance, and does not look like a small self-employed person who once ran a variety of restaurants and entertainment, but all of them did not operate well and closed down several times.

The character is quite straightforward and optimistic, is a typical liberal, perhaps limited by the social rules of the past, in addition to the fact that Guanyun has practiced first-hand cooking and bartending skills in the past few years, the ordinary life is actually very restrained in the hippie smile.

In this way, Guanyun became the owner of the "Phantom Bar" on the Manhattan Community Commercial Street, and the property rights of the bar are very complex and vague, and it belongs to the restaurant under the "Food and Beverage Department managed by the Community Services Department of the Manhattan Community Council".

Well, if it weren't for the fact that Guanyun would also show a few hands cooking in the back kitchen of the bar from time to time, this wooden house full of wild and seductive style from the outside to the inside would not have been able to connect people with eating.

Not long ago, the whaling mermaid rescued dozens of Irish and Scotsmen from an unlucky English sailing ship, most of the ordinary men and women were sent to settle in West Point, a few skilled male craftsmen were absorbed by the Brooklyn industrial area, and among the women, two young women who also belonged to a special profession were unexpectedly obtained.

In this way, after the Phantom Bar has added a "new force", the number of escort girls has reached 6, Portuguese, Hispanic, Irish, and Scottish, all of different origins...... Since its establishment, Guanyun's bar has become a place for high-level technical talents with good salaries, and of course, ordinary skilled workers who have saved enough money to come crazy are also welcome.

Today, at the bar, there are several young men dressed in Brooklyn Industrial Area overalls, one of whom appears to be dressed as an engineer.

"Hehe, Xiaodi, don't be awkward, aren't you all doing things for the public, you don't need to be so serious." Guanyun took his gaze back from a corner, took two small cups from the counter behind him, poured them full of freshly brewed blueberry fruit wine, and pushed them in front of the two young men sitting opposite.

The young man dressed as an engineer looks to be in his thirties, his full name is Di Zugong, and he is a safety production and quality supervisor in the Brooklyn Industrial Area, a newly established management position. But in front of Guanyun, who has almost half of his body in the age of not being confused, he can only be called "Xiao Di".

The safety and quality supervision engineer who took off his glasses, with a cold expression, grabbed the small wine glass, drank the mellow fruit wine, and then looked sideways at a Scottish wine escort not far away.

With a coquettish smile, the escort girl, who had only been in North America for half a month, leaned over with ease, and put her slender hand on the engineer's shoulder.

"Yes, Brother Di, you don't need to mess with them, aren't they just some Indians, anyway, our people are very safe." The young man on the side was also persuading, and then looked at the European escort girl who was already relying on Di Zugong with a red face.

Guan Yun poured another glass of wine and handed it to the Scottish escort who was "doing business", and then lowered his voice: "Xiao Di, I didn't say you, except for Li Xiang's brainlessness, you don't need to offend your own people, and it's not worth ...... to take the Indians' affairs on your own people."

Di Zugong, who was in a depressed mood, suddenly raised his head, smashed the empty wine glass in his hand on the bar, and shouted with wine: "It's all a careless and simple working environment, not to mention the Indians, even your own people will die one day!" In the cement firing yard, forget if you don't wear masks for Indians, don't work more than 8 hours a day, otherwise people will hang up in less than a year! There is also a cast iron workshop, so why don't you put asbestos gloves on people?! Just let people work like that, and if something happens, you have to do it! ”

The sudden loud noise in the bar made the hands and feet in all corners suddenly pause, and many people turned their heads and looked in the direction of the bar in a daze.

"Gotcha! You're loud! I'm afraid of you, brother! Guanyun hurriedly made a look, and the escort girl on the side walked away in a playful manner.

"Now that we are gradually getting more stable, we should pay attention to the details. It is also not easy to train Indian workers, and now almost all of the entry-level jobs are replaced. And one day, they will be one of us......"

Di Zugong drank another glass of blueberry fruit wine, and his eyes were a little confused.

"Could it be that just a few hundred of us can really build a Chinese America? Shit! How many of us are there? It is necessary to face the objective fact of living with the Indians and Europeans, who sooner or later will understand the injustice they have suffered in the industrial areas! If we want to get their real support, we need to take into account their feelings and personal rights! ”

As soon as these words came out, even the young man next to Di Zugong was stunned, and Guanyun opened his mouth even more and didn't say anything for a long time.

"What? You think I'm talking about drinking? Di Zugong smirked, and a sad expression appeared on his face, "Actually, it's not just Indians...... Look at the dockers, their working conditions are worse than before, do we really treat them as our own? Which so-called leader of the community committee would dare to work for a day in any factory in the current industrial zone?! ”

"Di Zugong drank too much, you can help him go back quickly, today's wine money is mine!" Guanyun looked at a young man wearing a maritime guard uniform in a corner, quickly suppressed Di Zugong's mouth, and then whispered a reminder to the young man who followed Di Zugong.

Di Zugong fell crookedly and was helped away, and Guanyun felt that the stone in his heart fell to the ground. Di Zugong's remarks, if they spread, God knows what storms and waves will be set off in the community. The former restaurant owner, who was skilled in human resources, only now noticed that his palms were sweaty.

There was another shadow in front of him, and a tall young man stood in front of the bar. When I looked up, I was surprised to find that it was Sun Yang, an officer of the Maritime Guard who had been drinking alone in the corner at night.

"Lao Di was fired today?" Sun Yang took a sip of the imported wine from Europe in his hand, looked at the door of the bar with a sneer, and then stared at Guanyun's eyes, "Why does he smell like a human rights defender?" ”

"Hehe, it's just too much to drink......" Faced with the fact that the military system now occupies most of the community committee, Guanyun is naturally very careful with the people of the Maritime Guard.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just talking about it." Sun Yang knew that the other party was tabooing that he was a member of Zheng Quan's family, so he patted the other party's shoulder, "Now we are all grasshoppers on the same rope, even if he is nerdy, he will really scold his own people, and there will be no good fruit to eat in the future......"

"Di Gong has a straight temperament, he does what he does, and he dares to say anything cruel." Guanyun thought for a moment and chose a vague way, "He may just be using such an example as an example." ”

"Hopefully, we're desperately trying to get out now, and we don't want anything to go wrong inside. The safety of the industrial zone is naturally responsible for Lao Jiang and Lin Youde...... Everyone's security problems will definitely be solved gradually. Don't talk about how our own people are in the factory, look at those brothers in the land garrison, the appearance of flintlock pistols even makes me tremble when I see it. Sun Yang was also a little drunk, stretching his waist, and looked at Guanyun's eyes with mysterious eyes, "Old Guan, you said that among the hundreds of people here, will there really be an opposition in the future?" ”

"Ah......" When Guanyun heard this, the whole person was stunned again.
