Chapter 063: The Calm Before the Storm
At the same time, in the soft light, on the edge of the tavern, on a decoration shaped like a tree stump, the annual rings suddenly lit up in circles, emitting a faint light, and everyone present realized that it was actually a disguised megaphone.
The next moment, with the slight flow of the aperture of the annual rings, a slightly immature crisp voice suddenly sounded from it, echoing leisurely around:
"Do you feel lonely during the boundless journey?"
"Do you feel lonely on the vast sea?"
"After many years of wandering, will you miss your relatives and scenery in your hometown?"
"If so, then why don't you come and sit at the Tree Cave Wine House?"
"Taste countless varieties of clear wines."
"I met a friend with the same interests by chance."
"Reminiscing and sharing the trajectory of my life."
"Well, what if you're still unhappy?"
"It's okay, there's a tree hole that belongs to you, talk to it, no one knows your secrets, no one can disturb you, wander in your own world, and be accompanied by the fragrance of the trees......"
"Need to believe."
"A good day will always come."
The voice was a little rusty and shy at first, but the more it was recited, the more full of emotions became, and it was perfectly combined with the classical music sound coming out of the gramophone.
Suddenly, there were many guests at the table, and they all showed their expressions of interest.
In the northeast corner of the restaurant, on the window seat, two young people, a man and a woman, are sitting opposite each other, with an intimate attitude, and the wedding ring in their hands is shining brightly, looking like a newly married couple.
"Honey, that brewery seems to be interesting." The young man had just withdrawn his gaze from the tree cave tavern, and he looked at his beloved lover in front of him gently, and said with a smile: "Why don't we go over and sit down and have some wine?" ”
"If it's alcohol, I still don't want it."
The young woman had long flaxen-colored slightly curly hair, which looked quite touching and beautiful, she first shook her head slightly, then pursed her lips, revealing a hint of a peaceful smile: "But that tree hole is really interesting, I really want to try it." ”
"Hahaha, coincidentally, I thought so too." The man laughed, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then got up and left the table. "Let's go, then."
…………
On the southernmost side of the hall, next to the main entrance.
Unlike the north, the tables in this area are large round tables that can accommodate more than a dozen people, and at this moment, there are more than a dozen sturdy men sitting around, pointing at the tavern, whispering something in groups.
"Damn, if you have something to say, let it go!"
In the middle, a one-eyed old man wearing a captain's hat couldn't look at it, so he slapped it on the table and roared: "It's all big men, one by one, where to hide and what it looks like crookedly!"
After looking at each other for a long time, a bold bald head stood up and cautiously said, "Captain, that ......"
"The last time you defeated the Amaranth Pirates, you said that you would invite everyone to ......" Speaking of this, this man hesitated for a while, swallowed and foamed at the mouth, and then dared to continue: "Drink it happily, right?" ”
"Huh? What did you say!? ”
As expected, as soon as he heard this, the one-eyed old man's eyes suddenly widened like cowbells, and he shouted angrily: "Still drinking? You fucking didn't see the bill just now or what, the things sold in this restaurant are very expensive, our table of dishes will cost a full 10,000 Bailey, that damn gourd-headed waiter still said that he didn't give change, he couldn't lose any more, just like that, you still have to go and drink together, isn't that clearly open your wallet for them to rob clearly! ”
"Hey, stingy."
After muttering in a voice that only he could hear, the bald head spread his hands to the friends around him, indicating that he couldn't help it. So, after some lamentation, the big man at the table had to shift his gaze from the wine house back to the table and continue to eat dinner.
However, what no one noticed was that after seeing all his subordinates hanging their heads listlessly, a look of struggle appeared in the eyes of the one-eyed old man, and then he secretly opened his wallet under the table, counted the poor Bailey, and sighed reluctantly:
"These stinky boys...... This time I'm really going to lose the coffin book......"
……………………
"That's a good read."
On the second floor of Bharati's restaurant, through the gap in the stairs, he coldly watched the emotions of the guests below being aroused, and Xia Nuo, who was excited to pour into the wine house one after another, suddenly smiled slightly, turned his head, and reached out to rub the hair of the little guy next to him.
"Hehe, of course."
Xiao Shanji did not resist Xia Nuo's touching and killing, but showed a little enjoyment, and after putting away the microphone and manuscript in his hand, he raised his face and said curiously: "By the way, Brother Xia Nuo, didn't you say that you were in charge of the wine house before, and now that it is open, don't you go down?" ”
"No, no."
Xia Nuo glanced at him, then his gaze fell on the overcrowded wine house again, and said lightly: "At least for now, not yet." The guests are not drunk yet, and it is a waste of time to go down early. ”
"Oh." Sanji nodded as if he didn't understand.
After that, probably because it was already late, Sanji didn't stand for long, and in the end, he couldn't hold on, and after saying goodnight to Xia Nuo, he went back to his room to sleep.
So, the staircase on the second floor.
Xia Nuo was the only one left, standing there with Lake Toya in his arms, silently watching everything that happened in the sake house.
………………
Time passed slowly, and before you knew it, the night was getting darker and darker.
The clock on the wall has pointed to the cross, the Barati restaurant has been completely closed, the lights in the hall have been extinguished, the chefs have gone to rest, and the late autumn wind has whined through the cracks in the door, making the atmosphere more and more silent.
However, in this darkness, there is still a warm light, which shines faintly from under the banyan tree behind the east wall, and if you listen carefully, there is also the sound of laughing and clinking glasses, which comes from inside from time to time.
Inside the tree cave sake house.
"It's a thirty-year-old Mikel wine, it's a fucking pleasure!"
The drunken voice suddenly sounded, and then in front of the bar, a fat man with a stubble on his face raised the empty wine glass in his hand, and yelled inside with a flushed face: "Hey, bartender, give me another drink!" Ice! ”
"No problem, wait a minute."
As one of the three bartenders on the night shift, Carl, who was scrubbing the cup, immediately raised his head, smiled and made an "OK" gesture, then turned around and walked to the closet in the corner and began to mix the wine that the other party wanted.
Squeak.
At this moment, a soft sound suddenly sounded on his side, and Karl subconsciously turned his head to look, but just in time to see the back door of the tavern being pushed open from the outside, and Xiano, who was wearing a dark blue sweatshirt, yawned and walked in.
"Good evening, head chef."
As if he had known he was coming, Carl did not show any surprise, and after greeting with a grin, he lowered his head and continued his work.
"Well, good evening."
His eyes moved slightly, swept outside the bar, and saw that there were still more than a dozen people drinking and laughing at this time, and they were all almost drunk, Xia Nuo stretched his waist and smiled slightly:
"Well, the atmosphere isn't bad."
