"Byrron's signature pork knuckle is really delicious!"

After the two walked out of the restaurant, Esther couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and planned to write to Klein back on the ship in two days, telling him to try it if he had the chance.

"You really have a penchant for food, and you're used to seeing what you eat on the boat."

Esther's face was serious: "Easing hunger is not the same as enjoying food!" Only simple coarse salt and charcoal are used for grilling, which retains the original flavor of the meat, and then exerts a more free preference through self-mixed seasoning......"

Mary looked at Esther with a blank eye: "How can you be so professional, are you still a food critic before?" ”

"No, I used to play the harmonica for people to earn tips."

Mary pondered: "I wanted to ask you a long time ago, is this true or false?" If you live by the power of 'stealing,' then I do. ”

"Of course it's true." Esther was a little dissatisfied, "Don't I seem to have anything to do with musicians?" ”

"Of course." Mary replied categorically.

"Anyway, it's not on the 'Clover' now, so it's not impossible to prove it to you."

Mary was even more curious: "Isn't it okay on the 'Clover'?" Why? ”

The corners of Esther's mouth gradually hooked: "It's just that I'm worried about the bad effect." ”

"Anyway, I'm going to sit at the bar later, where you can play whatever you want. As long as it's not too ugly, the bartender generally doesn't matter. ”

Well, although I don't mean this effect...... Esther snorted and bypassed the topic.

She didn't fiddle with the harmonica on the "Clover", more because she was worried that it would cause an overreaction from the ship or Aaron, and now that she was ashore, of course she had no such concerns.

A few hours later, the "Toucan Bar".

Mary took a glass of beer and took a sip of the Lielangzi, and then looked at Esther in a daze.

The harmonica sound is melodious and graceful, like the cry of birds, this is a song that Mary has never heard before, and the tone is light and cheerful, so that those who hear it will subconsciously smile softly.

After Esther put down the harmonica, Mary couldn't help but put down her glass and applauded solemnly, and the other guests also came to their senses and followed in amazement to express their praise with applause.

It was just getting dark, and there weren't many customers in the bar, but they were all starting to talk to each other, and their curious eyes turned more often to the two ladies at the bar. Originally, in a bar full of men, the two of them were very eye-catching, and with this performance, it was difficult not to attract attention.

But Mary deliberately tightened her shirt to reveal the shape of the small revolver underneath, which made the men turn their heads in amusement.

"It's a beautiful song, what's the name?" The tall bartender at the bar handed the newly filled beer glass to the single customer on the other side, and then leaned over and chatted with the two men in a slightly accented Indisian.

Esther smiled and replied, "Dance of the Flowers." I also heard a tune from someone else a long time ago, and I thought it was good, so I learned it. ”

"You're playing a great game," the single customer raised his glass to the two of them, giving a friendly smile, his Intijn language much more fluent than the bartender, "Would you like to have a drink?" The local coxassa is worth a try, and it's a great cocktail with some juice or soft drinks. ”

Byron's tropical climate is ideal for growing a variety of fruits, including specialty sugar cane, which is not expensive and can be served in any local tavern, as it is a popular and popular alcoholic beverage with locals, as it can be used to produce leftovers from processed sugar cane.

The gentleman, who sat alone at the bar, looked like a mixed-race man with facial features, but his skin was not so dark.

He was dressed in a dark gray rune suit, his face was not bloody, his short brown hair was pressed under the soft top gentleman's hat, his dark brown eyes were slightly cloudy and red, and the smile on his face was very restrained but not very sincere.

Mary slapped Esther with her elbow: "I heard that inviting someone to drink Kersassa is the meaning of courtship~"

The bartender shook his head amusedly, "That's just a rumor, and we don't know why it's that way." ”

Esther smiled at Mary, who had been swept away, and turned to the gentleman on the other side: "Thank you for your suggestion, I will have a chance to try it next time." ”

The bartender bared his teeth at the gentleman on the other side: "Jeremiah, just learning to dress from the rich people from the Northern Continent won't make you more favored." ”

Esther glanced at the bartender helplessly, "Do you have anything to eat here?" ”

Mary poured two more sips of Rou Langzi, and said to the bartender with a smile, "It's better to have a sweet tooth, and she loves this one." ”

Before the bartender could speak, the gentleman, known as Jeremiah, knocked on the bar and pushed a few silver coins: "A cream cheese shrimp puff pastry tart, a tapioca fries, and a glass of quaint aso juice." ”

The bartender gave him a blank look, and turned his inquiring gaze to the two ladies, who had not heard of any of these things, but to Mary, who was more familiar with the place.

Mary shrugged indifferently: "Anyway, someone has a treat, so that's all." ”

The bartender grabbed the silver coins and went to prepare Jeremiah's order, and there was no need for him to continue to sarcastically mock the old friend if there was money to be made anyway.

Mary glared at Esther in distress: "It's a pity that you don't have some wine!" We're at the bar! ”

Esther propped her face with her left hand, and looked at the gentleman Jeremiah behind Mary, but when he had finished ordering, he retracted his gaze, and his expression looked surprisingly cold when that restrained smile was gone.

Quite a depressed and weird person, he has an aura about him that makes me uncomfortable...... Esther and Mary chatted and laughed normally, just paying a little attention to each other.

After the bartender brought the food, he went to deliver beer to the other customers in the store.

Esther took a bite of the puff pastry, which looked like a sandwich egg tart, and the hot shrimp on the inside were wrapped in a liquid with a rich coconut milk flavor, which was rich in aroma but a mixture of salty and sweet.

Esther was a little shady with the salty and sweet mixture, so she didn't eat the rest of the pieces, and fried cassava root was more to her liking, like thicker fries.

The juice is a bit complicated to drink, and it looks like the flavors of various tropical fruits are mixed together, which is actually quite good.

After Esther and Mary had begun to enjoy their snacks, it was a few minutes before Mr. Jeremiah got up, and he walked over and graciously handed Esther his business card.

Esther was stunned for a moment, and in view of the kindness of the other party's treat, she did not refuse to accept this thin piece of paper.

"Jeremiah Carnard, ...... Tenet Trading Company"

Jeremiah smiled and bowed, full of etiquette: "It's just a small local company in Byron, running some transactions that sell specialty products to the northern continent. ”

Tenet raspberry is a fruit of the Byron rainforest that is strung together outside the bark and has a creamy, sweet taste. Obviously, this is a company founded in West Bailang, so the name was deliberately chosen for the local fruit.

Mary glanced at the gentleman, "You speak Intis well, you should have dealt with people everywhere?" ”

"My previous employer was a gentleman from Intis, so I have something to do, goodbye, two ladies."

After Jeremiah left, Mary shook her head at Esther, "I don't like this guy, he's a little too ...... Hypocrisy. ”

Esther smiled and pressed the business card under the rattan frame for cassava fries, "I don't like it either, I can sense that he has some bad secrets." ”

For example, the sweet and greasy smell of blood on Jeremiah's body that made Esther uncomfortable, although it was only for a moment, Esther still sensed the abnormality.

Mary asked the bartender to pour her another glass of Lierangzi, and asked him, "Is that Jeremiah a local?" ”

"yes, he's a regular customer here, and I've often seen him meet with different people." The bartender muttered.

Esther took two more sips of Gu Puaçu's juice: "Do you know anything about this Mr. Carnard?" ”

The bartender lowered his voice, quite excited by the gossip: "I've heard from others too, it is said that Jeremiah's father returned to Rune after his mother gave birth to him, you know, this is a very common thing in the Southern Continent, and his father never came back anyway. ”

But his father had left a small fortune, and Jeremiah's mother had a good mind, and she could always find a way to earn a living, and with that little money, she could barely get by. When Jeremiah grew up, she took Jeremiah to work under an Indisian tycoon, so that her children could learn a lot. ”

Esther nodded: "He usually has a wide range of contacts?" ”

The bartender hesitated for a moment and rolled his eyes: "I can tell you that it's okay, but ...... There is one condition. ”

Mary put down her glass with an unkind expression: "What conditions?" You're not going to take advantage of the opportunity, are you? ”

"How dare I do that kind of thing, I just hope that this 'musician' lady will play two more songs, and the guests will like it." The bartender smiled flatteringly and looked at Esther expectantly.

"Yes, it's nothing to me."

Seeing that there were no other customers in the bar calling him, the bartender lowered his voice and leaned in front of the two, and his tall shoulders looked more like a black bear after he bent over: "He seems to have joined some organization a few years ago, and someone helped him get into that company, so he makes a lot of money now." ”

"There are a lot of things like this in Sibelang, and it's not new." Mary was a little unhappy with such an answer.

The bartender shook his head: "It seems to be some kind of underground faith, I don't know anything else, and you don't have an answer to ask me." ”

Esther drank the last bit of Gu Pu Asu's juice and wiped the corners of her mouth: "Thank you for the information." ”

Mary raised her glass to the bartender with a crimson face, her eyes lit up frighteningly: "Another glass of Lielangzi!" It's hard to enjoy our 'musician' without alcohol. ”

"And now you believe it?" Esther asked amusedly.

Under the influence of alcoholic beverages, Mary's smile became even brighter: "If you can have two more songs, I will believe you more." ”
