The Stable Navy in Pirates

Chapter 57 If only I had the ability to freeze fruit

The city of water, the central street, a bustling area.

Outside the original Bruno Tavern, Joey walked out with a cloth chair.

He was naked from the upper body, revealing a strong body.

After careful observation, he jumped onto the top of the tavern and landed on the uninhabited rooftop.

After placing the cloth chairs, they turned back to the tavern.

When he passed by Rossi who was cleaning the tables and chairs seriously, he said earnestly, "Xiao Luo, we must do things down-to-earth, behave honestly, and don't always think about being lazy."

"You know, the reason why I let you do these things is to exercise your perseverance and willpower."

Joey walked into the small room behind the wine cabinet as if I was doing it for your own good.

After a while, he held the folding wooden table, a basket of ice cubes in his left hand, and several bottles of red wine in his right hand, and came out from inside.

Rossi looked at his back and sneaked to the counter.

"Sister Anna, bring me a bottle of wine too."

Anna wiped the wine glass, turned around and took out a bottle of good wine from the counter, and said with a smile, "Your alcohol addiction is too great, you can only limit five bottles a day."

"If you have too much, you have to pay for it yourself."

"No, Sister Anna, I have to control every drink." Rossi took the bottle dissatisfied and complained.

Anna gave him a helpless expression, and said, "This is what the store manager said, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Rosie groaned and opened the bottle...

"Joy's Tavern? Isn't this Bruno's Tavern?"

A suspicious voice came from a man outside the door.

Then, the man pushed open the door and entered.

"Well, I want to ask..."

Before the man finished speaking, Anna replied, "You want to ask why the name of the store has changed?"

"Yes, yes." The man nodded quickly.

"The original owner, Bruno, has transferred the tavern to my boss." Rossi raised his hand and returned.

"Really..." The man was a little depressed, and he asked expectantly, "Then do you know where Boss Bruno went?"

Anna stared at him for a while, narrowed her eyes and shook her head, "Sorry, we don't know where he went."

"What are you looking for him for?"

The man froze for a moment, nodded slowly, and then sighed softly, "I'm here to pay him back."

"Pay back the money? Uncle, do you owe him a lot of money?" Rossi asked as he served him a glass of wine.

The man was sitting on the chair, holding the wine glass, gently stroking the wine glass with the thumb of his right hand, and said with a smile, "Yeah...I owe a lot of money..."

Many years ago, men, like many others, left their hometowns with their own dreams.

For his dream, he took a merchant ship alone, went through untold hardships from the West Sea, came to the capital of water, and studied the most brilliant shipbuilding technology in the world...

But things backfired. When Carrera applied to be a boatman, he failed miserably because of his short stature.

After the failure, the man's mood was depressed to the extreme. He stayed with a group of hooligans all day long, drank away his sorrows, and spent his days in a coma...

The money he carried was quickly consumed...

In the eyes of the gangster, losing money also means losing value, and the "friends" who were close to each other slowly showed their fangs to him.

Indifference, ridicule, trampled on the man's inner dream and dignity.

The shattering of his dreams and the betrayal of his "friends" nearly broke his spirit...

There are no twists and turns, only the cold appearance that reality should have...

Under such strong mental pressure, the man actually had the idea of ​​committing suicide.

He still vaguely remembered that the sea breeze was strong and the moonlight was bright that night...

Unknowingly, the man, as if drawn by fate, brought him to the door of Bruno's Tavern...

At around twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the tavern was already empty. Bruno, as usual, silently packed the wine utensils and cleaned the tavern.

After everything was packed, he walked to the door, ready to end the day's business...

But just as Bruno reached out to close the door, a man came out from the other side of the street.

The man's hair was disheveled, his face was blue and his eyes were swollen, and his clothes were torn.

Bruno closed the door with a frozen hand, looked at him expressionlessly, and asked, "Do you want a drink?"

The man didn't answer, he looked up blankly at the sign of the tavern, and said, "I didn't expect, I came here without knowing it..."

He came back to his senses, smiled self-deprecatingly, and shook his head.

Where do I still have the interest to drink now...

Even if he had, he would not have a penny to buy wine.

Just when he was in despair and turned to leave, Bruno came out with a bottle of red wine.

He called to stop the man and said, "Why do you come to the tavern in the middle of the night if you don't drink?"

The man's body froze, and he smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, boss, I don't have any money to continue drinking today..."

Bruno's eyes were flat, he put a bottle of red wine at his feet, and said, "This is on credit, remember to pay it later."

As the door of the tavern was closed, the man looked down at the red wine bottle at his feet and remained silent.

With trembling hands, he turned around and picked up the red wine glass, his eyes slowly getting wet.

Because of his short stature, when his dream was rejected, he held back. When his "friend" betrayed and ridiculed his dream, he held back...

But now, this man was crying.

I don't know if it is mental loss of control or physical pain.

The man fell to his knees, crying loudly...

I don't know how long I cried... I don't know what decision the man made in the end.

All I know is that there is one less alcoholic in the city of water...

……

The man raised his glass and took a sip...

He observed the layout of the tavern, and was surprised to find that nothing had changed much here.

"Well, I want to ask, when did boss Bruno transfer the tavern to your boss?" the man hesitated.

Anna said, "Boss Bruno just transferred it to my boss last night. Counting it, it has not been more than a day since this tavern was in the hands of my boss."

The man was overjoyed when he got the news, and quickly stood up from the wooden chair, "Thank you for your precious news."

The man said very sincerely, then left hundreds of Baileys on the wooden table, turned around and rushed out of the tavern.

Transferred last night...

That means that Boss Bruno may not have left the capital of water yet.

possible!
Everything is still in time.

Definitely, must thank him in person...

Rossi took the money and wine glass away, and complained, "What a strange uncle..."

Anna rolled her eyes and said, "If you have the time to complain, it's better to be quicker and put things in."

Rossi replied perfunctorily, "Yes... yes..."

Anna thought for a while and said, "Oh, by the way, don't forget to post the recruitment information outside the door later."

"Yes..." Rossi replied weakly.

On the roof, Joey, who was lying on the cloth chair, reached out to touch the red wine bottle and sighed helplessly.

"It takes a long time for room temperature wine to turn into chilled wine."

"If only I had the ability to freeze fruit..."

　Ask for tickets, ask for favorites...
