The Story of the Seventh World (1)
Irish Town is a busy seaport city, with countless ships passing through the 20-mile English Channel every day, carrying cargo between the two countries. On a clear day, you can see the land of the French Republic in the distance across the channel.
In a hotel called "Locke" in the small town of Irish Town, in the last room on the second floor by the sea, I saw a tall young man with short brown and ink hair, standing at the window and watching the bustling flow of people outside, with a pair of dark black eyes as bright as diamonds, but he was a little dazed. The young man's name is Aldrich Baker, but he also has another name called Su Hang, or he is the owner of these two names, the product of "fusion".
A month ago, Aldrich Baker and his parents were in the sea near the Virgin Islands. I forgot to introduce Aldrich's father, Alger, a Britannian, who was born in a carpenter's family, but after graduating from college, he and several classmates became navigators, looking for the lost treasures in the mysterious sea. And her mother was not Britannia, or even British, but a beautiful woman from the water towns south of the Yangtze River in the Far East, Jiang Liu'er. His parents met at a drinking party, and Jiang Liu'er, who was impressed by Alger's wonderful sailing stories, fell in love with this exotic blonde and blue-eyed young man in less than a month together, and then resolutely embarked on a voyage with Aldrich's father despite the opposition of his family.
A month ago, Aldrich's family and companions were looking for traces of a lost cargo ship 50 years ago in the sea near the Virgin Islands, and heard that there was a batch of gold and precious treasures shipped to London, which was the goods that a Korean nobleman was going to send to London for auction, but was shipwrecked near the Virgin Islands, and none of the ship's crew were spared.
When Alger and the crew were passing through here, a lady on the boat unfortunately fell into the water, and when Alger and others rescued people, they accidentally found two sealed exquisite iron boxes, and when they rescued the people who fell into the water, they salvaged the two boxes on the ship, and found gold and fine porcelain in the boat. After identification and research, the provenance of these two boxes of treasures was discovered. After a meeting between Alger and the ship's main personnel, it was decided to deposit the treasures at Barclays Bank in Irish Town. After preparing the supplies again and finding the relevant news, he embarked on the second treasure hunt.
Unexpectedly, the second search did not go well, and in the evening, a sudden storm at sea occurred, causing the entire ship to roll over and hit the reef, and the entire crew sank into the sea and died in shipwreck. Aldrich was going to die, but at this moment, a strong light appeared in the sky, shining on his body, Aldrich instantly felt a splitting headache, pain, like a fish constantly rolling and twitching on land, rolling and sinking on the surface of the sea. At this moment, he was stuck by several raised reefs under the sea level, and Aldrich completely fainted.
When he woke up again, he found himself lying in the hotel, and later heard from the owner of the hotel, Mr. Ahyme Selt, that he had been rescued by him in the crack of the reef, and that he had been in a coma for a week.
After waking up, I didn't know who I was for a long time, my head was in chaos, all kinds of miscellaneous memories emerged, there were pictures of stepping on unknown planets, and there were also experiences of traveling to various countries, and two names kept appearing in my mind, one name was Su Hang, and the other name was Aldrich. Sitting on the bed, I sat in a daze all day, and finally figured out my identity.
This body is a Chinese-British half-breed named Aldrich, he was "transformed" by the mutation caused by the Nine Stars Alignment, and the soul and flesh of a future person named Su Hang brought by the Nine-Star Alignment were fused, and the whole body was transformed from the soul to the body. The original height of 1.85 meters has become 1.95 meters, and the black eyes sometimes turn blue, and when it changes, it will cause the surrounding water to "change", and the body is much stronger than before. I felt that there were other changes, but I didn't notice it.
From that day on, the shipwrecked stayed in the hotel, called "Locke", occasionally helping with some work. The people in the hotel called him the Heavenly Favorite, because he was a person who was shipwrecked and did not die, but he had "amnesia".
Standing in my room, thinking about whether I am Su Hang or Aldrich, I look out the window blankly, where do I belong? Where should I go? When I make a decision, there is always a voice in my heart telling me that I should not make a decision lightly, I know that if I continue like this, I will go crazy sooner or later, but I can't even be sure who I am.
The sound of the bell woke me up from my deep contemplation like a morning bell, and at this moment, looking at my surroundings again, at the people coming and going outside the window, and looking at the sky, I suddenly realized that I didn't need to be so entangled in who I was. The name is just a code name, it doesn't matter what it is called, there is a so-called self to prove that he has existed in this world.
After figuring it out, I decided to use the original name, Suzhou and Hangzhou.
The hotel I live in is called "Locke", which covers an area of 6,500 square meters, which is the largest hotel in the town of Irishtown, but it is actually a small and medium-sized hotel. The whole hotel is divided into three floors, the first floor includes a restaurant, a bar, a kitchen, and small rooms (to explain, it mainly refers to the place where people who have no money and cannot afford to live live. The second and third floors are basically guest rooms, except for the one I stayed in, because this is the original room of the owner's brother, and even though his brother left the UK, he still kept it for him.
The hotel is divided into two types of rooms, one is for the homeless and those who don't have much money, and in the rightmost area on the first floor, there are not many rooms, and at the same time, they are only fifteen square meters, but they are very popular. The second and third floors are the guest rooms with separate bathrooms, common reception areas and bedrooms.
On the first floor, with the exception of the area on the far right, there is the front desk directly opposite the main door, and to the left of the desk is the staircase leading to the second floor. On the far left is the dining room, which has a kitchen at the back. Not far from the right hand side of the restaurant is a small bar. On the ground floor, in addition to the main entrance, there is also a small door in the kitchen that leads to the street outside.
The main feature of the hotel is that the walls between the lobby and the corridor are painted with beautiful murals and carvings of Norse mythology. It is said that the owner, Mr. Yaheng Selt, was very fond of listening to mythological stories when he was a child, and when he grew up, after inheriting the inn, he renovated the entire inn, not only painting mural reliefs, but also acquiring a number of sculptures as decorations.
As the largest hotel in the town, the "Locke" hotel was chosen by many foreigners, and in the eyes of foreigners, this hotel is very distinctive, not only comfortable to live in, but also cultural.
With the exception of the "special" rooms on the first floor, the décor of the rooms is different, from the color to the decorations. I was very impressed with the guests, and there were more regulars.
Suzhou and Hangzhou because of the "childhood" most of the sea, and the people who live on the ship like the most is to go to various countries, to drink the local wine, delicious, excellent taste will also buy back and taste slowly, which also leads to Su Hangzhou from childhood to adulthood to contact all kinds of wine, it can be said that they have been to every country and region of the wine he understands, and the adults on the ship also told Suzhou and Hangzhou about the culture of wine, so that he knows this aspect very well.
After Su Hang was rescued back to the hotel by the store manager, Mr. Yaheng Selt, and after his body recovered, he helped the hotel bar area and wine cellar to do what he could, and he could also learn about some news related to the shipwreck, and see if there were any other people who survived.
"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door, and at the same time a loud shout came from outside the door: "Celestial, the boss is looking for you." Then he heard the sound of running away, and the man walked away.
Su Hang listened to this loud voice, this daredevil-like voice, and knew that it must be Brooke, who had a big voice in the whole hotel, and he was rich in motor cells, and every time he worked, he was in full swing, but many British people didn't like him, they said that he was too rude, and he didn't have the nobility and elegance of the British at all. But Su Hang likes him very much, this guy doesn't have bad intentions, and he speaks "straight to the point".
Brooke is in charge of the cellar and is a thirty-five-year-old Irishman. He has a certain understanding of wine, especially red wine, which he knows more than Su Hang himself, according to him, his family opened a winery a long time ago, but by his father's generation there was nothing. However, people here don't believe what he says and say he's bragging. But in Su Hang's opinion, even if it is not what he said, it is almost the same, after all, the perception of red wine is by no means false.
Su Hang changed his clothes and walked downstairs, and as soon as he went downstairs, he saw the boss Mr. Yaheng Celt talking about the bill with the registrar at the service desk, Yarlin Smith, it was estimated that the account was wrong, anyway, it was not the first time, after Su Hang came to this hotel, he heard the boss talk to him seriously three times, but there would still be problems.
Su Hang once asked Brooke privately, and according to him, Yarlin was a distant relative of the boss's family, so he gave him many chances, or he would have told him to get out of here.
"Yarlin, I've told you many times not to make the same mistake again, but you idiot will never remember it."
"From now on, you're in charge of cleaning the restaurant, so don't let me see you standing here again. Now go to the backyard and clean up. Yaheng touched his forehead and said with a calm face.
"Okay, boss." A dead pig looked like he was not afraid of boiling water, and walked towards the backyard.
"This guy must have been sent by Satan to make trouble for me." Yaheng said to himself.
Yaheng was a middle-aged man of forty years old, a native of Britannia, and his grandfather had heard that he was still an earl, and it was unknown why he had become like this. In terms of appearance, it doesn't look like I'm forty years old at all, and I feel like I'm just over thirty. Nearly 1.9 meters tall, thin and thin, he looks a little malnourished. However, according to Su Hang's observation, the boss is a full foodie, that is, he is not fat after eating.
Although he is forty years old, his big bright eyes, his appetite is so good, and his enthusiasm for work that all young people are ashamed of!
"Celestial, how are your memories going?" Yaheng turned his head to look at Su Hang, who had just come down from upstairs, and asked. To be honest, Yaheng likes this young man very much, he works hard, loves to help others, and understands a lot, the only pity is that he has amnesia!
"Mr. Selter, I remember what my name is, you can call me in the future, Su Hang." Su Hang said with a smile.
"Su Hang, that's really good, I finally don't need to call you the Heavenly Favor anymore, it makes me look like a church here." Yaheng said jokingly.
Su Hang could see that Yaheng was really happy for him, and during the period of "amnesia", Yaheng helped him find his parents and others, asked doctors to treat him, and helped him in all aspects. This made Su Hang grateful to this life-saving benefactor from the bottom of his heart, after all, if Yaheng hadn't saved him, God knows if he would have gone to heaven now.
After his health improved, despite Yaheng's dissuasion, Su Hang helped to do what he could in the hotel, which would make him feel better in his heart.
"Su Hang, I heard Brooke say last night that you created a new cocktail, is that true?" Yaheng looked at the young and handsome young man in front of him and asked.
"Oh, sir, that wasn't invented by me, it was made by the third mate on our ship and his wife when they went on vacation to the United States, and taught me later." Su Hang looked at the boss and said, in fact, this cocktail comes from the memory of the future, and there is also a lot of knowledge about other aspects.
In the memories that Su Hang obtained, there are a lot of food memories from the future, which are developed by people in the future, and he is ready to try them one by one, hoping to help Yaheng.
Su Hang planned to repay Yaheng's life-saving grace, and on the afternoon of yesterday, he made this cocktail called "Burning Love Beach", and after tasting it, he felt that it tasted really good, so he called Brooke to taste it together, and after getting his affirmation, he asked him to tell Yaheng about this cocktail.
Su Hang and the boss came to the bar, and Su Hang took vodka and other drinks from the wine rack behind the bar, took a lemon and a fruit knife from under the bar, and then cut the lemon to make orange peel decorations. Su Hang took the shaker pot on the bar, put 5 ice cubes in it, and then poured in several drinks such as vodka and peach liqueur, and then closed the lid and shook it evenly. Su Hang took the cup, almost filled it with ice, and poured in the prepared wine. Su Hang took the lemon that had been cut and squeezed it into the cup, decorating the orange peel on the edge of the cup.
