The Story of the Seventh World (2)

Su Hang pushed the prepared cocktail in front of the boss Yaheng. Yaheng picked up the cocktail on the table, sniffed it between his nose first, nodded, and then took a sip and tasted it, "It tastes good, but it's more suitable for young people." ”

"It's sweet and sour, with a slightly spicy feeling, we can push it up first to see the effect." After Yaheng finished talking to Su Hang, he called the bartender, let him taste it too, and told him to try it in two days.

Su Hang also knows a lot of ways to make cocktails, and the memories of the two people are integrated into one person, and their experiences, the knowledge they have learned, are also mastered by this person.

Su Hang and the boss went to the garden at the back of the hotel, which was planted with half sorrel and half daffodils, all of which were favorite flowers of the British, but because of the flowering period, the sorrel grass had withered, and only the hardy daffodils were still in full bloom. It is said that the people of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets have two major pleasures, one of which is to raise flowers, which also makes the Empire of the Sun Never Set a reputation as a "country of". And the other is also related to Huaxia, that is, football, but at that time, Huaxia was called Keju.

In the days when Su Hang came here, due to "amnesia", he often came to the back garden of the hotel, silently looked at the starry sky at night, and fell into that chaotic memory.

Yaheng looked at the young man walking in the garden with him, he was very glad that he saved the young man that day, although he had amnesia, but he knew a lot of knowledge, and he could talk to him very well. And I always feel that he can help himself, although I don't know why, but it's just a feeling.

I don't know when, Su Hang and Yaheng came to the depths of the garden, came to a villa, the whole villa is unique, the villa has three floors, because it is built at the back of the hotel, it seems that the whole villa is dark and mysterious, and the whole is in the European architectural style.

Su Hang has come to this villa more than once, and since he regained consciousness, he has been invited by Yaheng to come to this villa several times, sipping tea, drinking coffee, and chatting about what he has seen and heard in Su Hang's mind.

The usable area of each floor of the villa is only 100 square meters, and there is a vacant space of 60 square meters on the other side of the house. On the first floor, there are no bedrooms, only a living and dining room, as well as a kitchen and bathroom. Yaheng usually lives on the second floor, and the rest of the rooms on the second floor are bedrooms except for a bathroom and a study. As for the third floor, Yaheng said that it is generally for sundries, so he did not take Suzhou and Hangzhou to visit. However, as far as Su Hang knows, under normal circumstances, the study and bedroom are not on the same floor, so it will not affect the rest of the family. After all, sometimes working until midnight is very easy to affect your family. However, since Su Hang came here, he has not seen Yaheng's family, and he himself has not mentioned it.

Su Hang asked others privately, but they all said they didn't know, they only knew that Yaheng had a younger brother, but he was away all the year round, and this villa was only lived by Yaheng himself, so he occasionally came to stay with friends and live for a few days.

Su Hang and Yaheng walked into the villa and walked into the room and study that they often visited. I remember the first time I came to this study, the first thing I saw was a fancy carpet with British characteristics spread in the center of the study. The pale yellow walnut desk is placed against the window, and the natural light just shines on the desk. A few scattered books were neatly arranged on the desk, and next to the books was an iron statue of an English knight riding a horse with a spear.

Walking into the room, Su Hang and Yaheng sat on the leather sofa opposite the desk one after another, and on the round coffee table in the middle of the sofa, there was a bottle of brandy and a wine glass holder in the shape of a scale. Looking at the wine on the table, Su Hang said: "Yaheng, I didn't expect to change to a new wine, didn't you have whiskey on the table two days ago?" ”

Yaheng took the glass from the wine rack and placed brandy on it. Picked up the glass, looked at Su Hang, spread his hands and said, "The bottle of whiskey you saw was replaced by Mr. Black, and it was just this bottle of brandy." ”

Mr. Black, the only dentist in the small town of Irish Town, is a skilled doctor, and everyone who has treated him says that he is good, but he has a slight shortcoming, alcoholism. It is said that once a young Frenchman came to England to study, and he had an old problem of toothache, but he didn't have much money and couldn't pay for the treatment, so he gave Blake a bottle of red wine that he carried with him. Blake not only buys wine but also exchanges it, he buys a lot of fine wine himself, and sometimes exchanges the excess for other people's wines.

"Mr. Selter, I want to borrow your camera as a souvenir, after all, I've been in Irelandtown for so long, and I haven't visited much."

"Okay." After Yaheng finished speaking, he stood up and picked up a small aluminum alloy single-lens reflex camera made in Leitz, Germany, from the desk, handed it to Su Hang and said.

"I have something to deal with tomorrow, you let Brooke accompany you, you will have your vacation for the past two days." Yaheng picked up the cup and took a sip of wine and said.

Su Hang looked at Yaheng and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Selter." Then Yaheng introduced a lot of relevant content about the history and characteristics of Irish Town to Suhang.

"Jingle bell" A resounding telephone rang in the quiet study, interrupting the small talk between Su Hang and Yaheng, Yaheng stood up, walked to the desk on the right side of the study, picked up the phone, and chatted with the person on the other side of the phone.

Su Hang stood up and looked at the wine cabinet behind him. There are all kinds of famous liquors from Yaheng's collection, Lafite from Bordeaux, Martell from Cognac, Irish whiskey, Old Tom Gin, Crown Vodka and more than a dozen different kinds of famous liquors, and even Chinese Du Kang.

Looking at Yaheng who answered the phone, Su Hang thought to himself, don't say that no matter where you are, no matter what era, there is no shortage of people who love wine!

After Su Hang finished watching Yaheng's treasured wine, he accidentally saw a copy of "Les Miserables" on the wine cabinet, picked it up casually, looked at the exquisite cover, and said to himself with a gloomy face: "It's really good, it's still a collector's edition." I used to have it, but now I guess the book has sunk into the sea, which is a pity. ”

Looking at the book in front of him, the memory seemed to travel back in time to the ship that sailed on the sea, and in that room, which belonged to him, placed the famous books that his father had bought for him all over the world. Influenced by his father and mother, Aldrich Baker has loved 100~10,000 \ small since he was a child! said, even now, because the person named Su Hang who fused his soul is even more of a love hundred ~ ten thousand \ small! Said by the person.

Su Hang lay on the bed and recalled the experience of this time, and unconsciously touched the jade pendant worn on his neck, touching this jade pendant, which was the only item on Su Hang's body after being rescued, except for the slightly torn clothes and when the ship was about to capsize, his mother opened the safe in the office in the main cabin and took out, and put it on his thumb (it can be said that it was stuck in).

Even the clothes he was wearing were all found by Yaheng when he was asleep in Suhang, and he found some suitable clothes for him and put them in the closet.

Su Hang leaned on the edge of the bed, took out the jade pendant from his clothes, put it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it quietly. This will be a piece of mutton fat white jade, which is the best pure color white in white jade, transparent and pure, white and flawless, like clotted fat, showing pure white translucent under strong light, with a hazy fog. The jade pendant is carved into a bottle, just like the legendary Guanyin Bodhisattva holding a sheep fat jade bottle.

Looking at the bottle-shaped jade pendant in his hand, a beautiful woman with short black hair appeared in Su Hang's memory. With light eyebrows, a pair of big watery eyes, a small mouth, and a pair of black gold-rimmed glasses on the high bridge of the nose. This is the mother in Su Hang's memory.

This jade pendant is my mother's mother, and it was given to my mother as a birthday gift when my mother was a child, and this jade pendant was also given to Su Hang on Su Hang's birthday. Looking at this jade pendant, Su Hang saw a lot of memory fragments in front of his eyes, every meal when he was a child, every time he bought clothes, every time he was trained, all kinds of memories appeared in front of him, and his eyes moistened unconsciously.

On the hand holding the jade pendant, he wore the only remaining ring related to his parents, which his parents wore on their hands when the shipwreck occurred, saying that this ring was one of the important proof of the opening of the treasure stored in the bank. Jade pendants and rings are the only items left by their parents, and looking at them is like seeing your own parents.

Thinking about it, Su Hang closed his eyes and fell asleep in his thoughts.

It was late at night, and there was a faint dampness in the air, as if it were fogging. The faint light of the lighthouse in the distance made the night of Irishtown even quieter. A little moonlight through the window sprinkled on Su Hang, who was lying on the bed and had fallen asleep.

Winter mornings are not as fresh as spring mornings; There is no summer splendor either; Not even as refreshing as autumn; It's just chilling. Su Hang got up very early, and basically no one got up in the hotel, only Fei Qi, who was the doorman, got up early in the morning, opened the door of the hotel, and sat on the service desk opposite the main entrance of the hotel and drank the tea he brought from home.

Su Hang walked around the hotel and returned to his room without finding anything to be busy. Su Hang returned to the room and leaned against the head of the bed, holding a book found in the closet in his hand, reading it with relish. Su Hang estimated that this "Great Expectations" was originally placed here by Yaheng's younger brother.

Su Hang read the book for a while, took the teapot and made a pot of black tea, walked to the sofa and sat on the sofa reading the book and drinking tea.

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door, and a loud voice came from outside the door: "Celestial Favor, may I come in?" ”

"Yes, please come in," Su Hang said outside the door after taking a sip of black tea.

Brooke opened the door and walked in, saw Su Hang drinking tea, walked directly to the sofa and sat down, picked up an empty teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea and drank it, and said after drinking: "Breakfast downstairs is ready, I'm here to call you for breakfast." ”

"Good! Then let's go down! Su Hang stood up, stretched, and closed the door. Walk with Brooke towards the restaurant.

There weren't many people in the restaurant in the early morning, just one or two chatting over breakfast. Sitting in the dining room, Su Hang and Brooke quickly ordered breakfast, and the two chatted without a word.

It didn't take long for breakfast to be ready, Su Hang and Brooke brought breakfast to the table, Brooke lifted the lid of the plate, and on the plate was a poached egg, fried bacon, baked into a roasted sausage, and a toast with jam. Then I brought a bowl of cereal porridge mixed with milk and fruit. Finally, I brought another glass of milk. And Su Hangzhou and Brooke are basically the same, except for the jam toast is replaced by Danish rolls, everything else has not changed. In Su Hang's opinion, the Danish roll looks a lot like Chinese breakfast fritters, and it tastes good, and it is often ordered for breakfast.

Breakfast was eaten quickly, and in the process of eating breakfast between Suzhou and Hangzhou, there were more people in the restaurant one after another, and the two chatted about wine-related content while eating breakfast, so that time passed quickly.

Brooke finished breakfast before Su Hang, saying that he wanted to check the wine in the wine store, and asked Su Hang to wait for him in the room after breakfast. After Brooke left for a while, Su Hang finished his delicious breakfast and returned to his room to sit on a chair and read a book for a while. I finished reading the chapter I hadn't finished just now, put a bookmark on the page I had finished, closed the book, got dressed, and went to the first floor.

In the atrium on the first floor, Su Hang found Brooke, wearing a brown and blue cotton coat and a brown scarf, standing there and introducing something to a French man. Su Hang waved his hand at Brooke, said hello, and after nodding when he saw him, he walked to the bar and found a booth to sit down and wait for him. I saw a copy of The Times on the sofa in front of the booth, picked it up casually, and looked at it.

Su Hang saw a familiar name in the British column of The Times, Harmsworth. This name was told to him by Yaheng when Su Hang read the newspaper once. Hammersworth can be said to be the figure who pushed the British newspaper industry to a peak, and Yaheng said that he admired Hammersworth very much, and in the words of later generations, he was Yaheng's idol.

The newspaper devoted a large section of the British column to Hammersworth and his "North Rock Newspapers", the origin of the name "Northern Rocks", the contributions of Harmsworth and his brothers to the British newspaper industry, and the recent news of Hammersworth.

"Shall we leave now?" Brooke walked over and said.

"Have you taken care of your business?" Su Hang looked at Brooke and said.

"It's already good, the French guy just asked me if I had any good cocktail recommendations, so I recommended yours to him."

"Oh, let's go now!"

"Okay."

Su Hang and Brooke left the inn and walked down the street looking at all kinds of people, thinking that this place was very close to London, and it was the best choice for both trade and war.

Su Hang and Brooke walked around the town, and when they met someone they knew, they said hello. In the town, Brooke left a lot of "time" for Su Hang with his camera, and occasionally asked passers-by to help the two take a photo.
