Chapter 480: Lenny's Bar
This is already the case with the main business of the colonial base, and even more so with the peripheral projects and the already weak ones responsible for supporting such as communications, medical care, food, entertainment, etc.
The contract colonists were already reluctant to come, and most of them gave up the comfortable environment in the Martial Emperor System and came to this remote place to suffer, but for a relatively high salary.
Seeing the hundreds of professional miners who had been thwarted by their mining plans doing nothing all day, they knew that this trip would never make Cadmus another Odd Link, as the brochure suggested. Therefore, most of them are passive and slack off, just hoping that the contract expires and can leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
After getting off the harbor platform and walking up the metal pavement, Steven was already at the only Lenny bar in the whole base, and it was only the morning of standard time, and the crooked neon sign on the porch of the bar had not yet been turned on.
It is a simple building made of quick-drying concrete, the semi-circular building resembles an iron pot on an upside-down metal base, the curved exterior wall cuts out a square notch, and the plastic windows with one-sided light transmission, the black door is closed at this time, and the doorknob hangs a 'not yet open' shop sign.
Without thinking about it, Steven pushed the door in, and found that the lights inside were dim, and the long-backed chairs were lying upside down on the round table. Atala was cleaning the floor with a large broom.
"The door hasn't opened yet, what's the monkey anxious about?" Lenny lowered his head and swept the cigarette butts and vomit on the ground with a blank expression.
Lenny didn't look young anymore, she was a middle-aged woman with bright red hair, she was ordinary-looking, but well-maintained, and her body was bumpy, not as bloated as the other women in the mining company had been ravaged by the merciless years.
"Baby Lenny, am I not welcome to come?" Steven looked around and saw someone sleeping on a table in a corner of the bar.
"You?" Lenny looked up at Steven, then swept the floor again. "What are you doing early in the morning? Will you make a mess of me here? She lazily waved her broom, and smack, and again.
"It's not that I miss you yet." Steven grinned.
"Trick the devil." Lenny ignored him.
"That Malvin, he came last night?" Steven pointed to the guy sleeping on the bar.
"Maybe, who cares about that." Lenny's eyes were blank, and she looked listless, waving her broom, her full breasts shaking with the movement.
"You're getting prettier, Baby Lenny." Steven looked at her chest and swallowed.
"yes, yes, you'll all say that." To be able to open a bar in a remote area, Lenny is certainly well-informed.
"But what they say isn't as sincere as I am." Steven quipped.
"A mouthful of yellow soup, a few nonsense words, what other sincerity can you men have?" Lenny shook his head.
"Baby Lenny, don't be so buried, haven't I been drinking yet, and most of the words I say are sincere." Steven grinned, and couldn't help but glance hard at Lenny's chest a few more times.
He flashed the large broom that Lenny gestured to his feet, grimaced at the other man with a disapproving face, and walked around a few tables to the bar.
"Hey, Malvin, Malvin." He pushed the pilot of the supply ship who was sleeping on the bar. The latter remained indifferent and continued to sleep on his stomach.
"Boss, a bottle of red dagger!" Steven shouted.
This time Marvin woke up immediately.
"Red dagger? Give me...... Bring me a drink too. Marven struggled to stand up, his eyelids flickering open and closing, and the battle between heaven and man was not hard.
"Lenny, count me in, give him a drink." Seeing this, Steven knew that if he didn't give him some sweetness, he was afraid that he would immediately have to lie back again.
"It wasn't enough to go crazy all night last night, and early in the morning, I stirred up chickens and dogs, and a bunch of things that only recognized yellow soup, drank it, drank it to death, and pulled it down." Lenny dropped the broom in his hand, scolded all the way to the back of the bar, poured a glass of cloudy wine, knocked it heavily on the table, and just turned to leave, Steven reached out to stop him.
"So, don't bother you, leave the whole bottle." He squeezed out a smile at Lenny.
"Yo, this time it's generous again." Lenny counted the red daggers from the wine cabinet and placed them on the bar.
The colony is located in a remote area, and the authorized entertainment venues have to pay a heavy property and construction tax, and the daily purchase also needs to apply for approval on a form, which is delivered by the UNDP supply ship once a month, so the selling price has risen, and a bottle of red dagger soju that only sells a few kuts around the Martial Emperor Galaxy will be more than ten times more expensive when it arrives at the Cadmus colonial base.
The contract colonists, despite their good salaries, could not drink this brand-name liquor openly, and they often ordered a glass or two to have a good time, and then poured themselves into the crowd with cheap moonshine that tasted like chewing wax.
"Well, let's take a good breath first." Steven pushed the glass of wine towards Malven, and then watched as the other man greedily raised his glass and drank it down.
"Ha......" Marven let out a sigh, and the sleepiness in his eyes disappeared a lot.
"One more drink." He demanded.
"Okay." Steven graciously poured him another full glass. Marr took another sip, and shortly after the alcohol ran down his throat, he let out a loud burp, and then his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth opened.
"Comfortable." He laughed. "Doing this ghost errand, that's all that's left for fun, haha, this guy is really a friend!"
"It's me, Malvin, it's Steven." Seeing that he no longer recognized him, Steven hurriedly reminded him.
"Steven? Oh, is it some familiar, we've met? Marven clutched his head, seemingly unable to remember at all.
"How have you seen it?" Steven was surprised. "I've had a few drinks, I've done one, and once you invited me to visit your 'Moonlight' supply ship."
"Really? I don't remember at all. Malvern was surprised.
"What don't remember! What about the game you promised me to bring my nephew? Did you bring it? Steven asked him with a frown.
"What game? I don't know what you're talking about. Malvin watched his eyelids start fighting again.
"Well, you lied to me......" Steven couldn't believe his ears.
