Neil Tucson is busy. After checking the goods, he needs to copy the numbers on the ledger to ensure that there are no errors in the quantity.

Although the guest's figure was caught in the peripheral vision, Neil did not raise his head. He just raised his right hand to signal to the guest to wait a while and quickly completed the work in his hand. After confirming the number is correct, he exhaled a long sigh, his hands and feet swiftly moved. The ledger was packed, and apologized neatly, "Sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time. May I help you..."

The words didn't finish, so they paused.

Before Neal had time to throw the ledger into the drawer, he held it in his hand, watching Lan Li, smashing his mouth, biting the dead skin on his lips with his teeth, and seemed to be thinking—this guy How did it appear, that meaningful look is full of countless possibilities.

Lan Li was a little nervous.

Then, Neal threw down the ledger heavily, closed the drawer, and silently flipped out two tequila cups, placed them in front of Lanly, with two crisp "pops" and "pops", and then pulled them out of the counter. Of tequila, filled two wine glasses with one reversal, and lifted one of the tequila.

"This glass is on my account, but only if you pay for the rest of the drinks tonight." Neil said to himself, then raised his head and drank it directly, regardless of whether Lanly agreed.

After drinking, Neal filled himself with a glass again, toasted again, rubbed the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand rudely, and started nagging, "Did those reporters start to bother you again?" You also know those guys, just like flies that can't be driven away, where a little bit of fishy anger emerges, so they rushed over regardless of it, and they were very annoying. Two days ago, Stanley was still here with a reporter... Forget it, it's not a problem at all, we just threw the guy out, it's just a bunch of maggots."

Lan Li just stared at Neil silently, without speaking or moving.

The nose is slightly sour.

Nervous, that's because of caring; caring, that's why we are concerned about gains and losses. The whole world seems to be changing all the time. The city of New York is changing faster, changing so fast that Lan Li can't keep up; similarly, he is also changing, lest he become another stranger. , Even the most disgusting appearance he had ever felt. He thought he was sticking to his original aspirations, but who could be 100% sure?

At this time, Neil's calmness and honesty are as if time has never changed.

"Hey, gentleman, your glass is still full, you wouldn't be prepared to do that? I haven't seen each other for a long time, a glass of wine is worth it?" After that, Neil leaned against his body in the direction of Renly , Said in a low voice, "Man, help. The other new waiters are watching. Give me a little prestige."

Lan Li didn't say much, picked up the cup and drank it in one fell swoop. The spicy alcohol burned down the throat all the way to the stomach. This was not the way Lan Li was accustomed to drinking, but he still shook his right fist and tapped it lightly on the bar, beckoning Neil to fill himself up again.

Then, another cup.

Neil looked at Lan Li with a little surprise—the Lan Li he knew would never be so, "What, a bad day?"

The corners of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, showing a little helplessness, "I just came from Mount Sinai Hospital."

"..." Neil thought about it for a while, and said lightly, "Everyone has the right to imagine." This made Lan Li cast a puzzled look, "Not long ago, after you won the award again at the Cannes Film Festival. ..." Neil paused. He noticed the second doubt in Lanly's eyes, "Cannes? Best actor? Don't you know? God, where did you just return to civilized society?"

The best actor at the Cannes Film Festival?

Lan Li really didn't know about it.

Neither Andy nor Roy told them, nor did Rooney mention it on the phone, and life was completely calm. Now it seems that Andy should be the master to intercept it.

Recently, Lan Li’s state is indeed not good. The whole person is in a state of depression. He needs a clean vacation, so Andy created a vacuum and quiet environment. All the noisy and chaos are covered. Being isolated, Lan Li can truly calm down.

But Neil was not surprised, and then he seemed to think of something, and he laughed cheerfully by himself, "That reporter provoked something nonsense. The Cannes actor made you unworthy and defiant, we this group The old man has long been forgotten, and there will never be any intersection in the future. From now on, that guy is stupid at home, and you don’t even know who was the stupid in Cannes?"

With just a few words, Lan Li keenly caught the clue, "Stanley threw him out?"

Neil's expression was slightly stunned.

"It's not good for business." Lan Li persuaded that the business in the "Pioneer Village" was not good. If it can continue, Lanly does not want this bar to be unnecessarily affected.

Neil waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's okay. Those guys don't understand anything, they just know to stand by and shout."

"Don't you worry that I am no longer the guy you used to know?" Lan Li asked, but he didn't know what to do.

Instead, Neil was very calm, "So, aren't you?" He asked calmly, expressing his opinion. As a bartender, Neil has seen the vicissitudes of life in no way inferior to anyone, he knows Who he is facing, this is his rule of survival.

"Huh. Even if you really aren't anymore, so what?" Neil shrugged, "Everyone changes, even we ourselves are changing, so why do we require others not to change? Even if it's the Bible, There is no statement in black and white that you must always remember us. The most important thing is that we once had a good memory; then, after going around, maybe we will meet again, maybe not."

After a pause, Neil snarled at Lan Linu, "Look, you are back, as if you have never changed. It's just that you are getting old."

"Haha." Lan Li laughed heartily and heartily.

Then Neil leaned against his body slightly in the direction of Lanly, "What's more, the bottle of Alexander Foreign Company you gave to Stanley is still there."

At the beginning, Stanley-Charlesson treasured a bottle of Alexandria Whiskey. He said that it needed to be opened on special occasions. Later, "Don Quixote" won the billboard championship, and the ballad finally returned to everyone's attention, and Stanley opened it. I took this bottle of whiskey and shared it with my friends.

Last year, Renly found another bottle of Alexandria Whiskey in Scotland through Alexander Hamilton, so he bought it and gave it to Stanley.

At that time, Renly was filming "Jurassic World", and the affairs of George and Elizabeth were also troubled; therefore, Renly did not appear in person, but entrusted Matthew to present the bottle of whiskey, which was just a small piece of whiskey. gift.

Lan Li's tense mood really relaxed completely, showing a smile, and jokingly said, "It seems that our friendship is based on alcohol."

"At least it's not more than money." Neal said readily.

After that, Neal banged heavily on the counter table and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, you can inform your relatives and friends as soon as possible. An old friend will return to the Pioneer Village tonight. For one round, this gentleman generously donated the bill. On Thursday night of the carnival, it can now be promoted."

Neil held up the third cup of tequila in his hand, turned his head to look at Lan Li, "Salute to the old friend."

Not many customers around also raised their own bar and shouted cheerfully and joyfully, "Salute to old friends!"

Time is always rushing fast and continuously, carefully sculpting those years, and what finally settles in the bottom of my heart is precisely the moment that defines my life.

Or beautiful. Or regret.

...

The Thursday Carnival Night held temporarily in Pioneer Village did not spread widely on social networks, only through word of mouth among regular customers.

Those true jazz lovers, folk lovers, and those who really enjoy the beautiful night, have walked out of their homes and came to the pioneer village ~lightnovelpub.net~ to join in the feast, a glass of wine, a cigarette and a song, It can light up the sultry night before the beginning of summer, and make people intoxicated.

The night is getting deeper and the glamour of New York’s night is spreading among the neon lights, and the slight drunken state makes all those tiredness and restraints removed, and the relaxed and freehand feelings between words and joys, but the true feelings are revealed. , It seems that everyone can remove the burden and be the truest self.

The stage lights of Pioneer Village slowly lit up, and a spotlight lantern covered a chair. Such a scene could not be familiar to regular customers. Every performance always has its own characteristics——

Since Lan Li and "Drunk Country Folk Songs", the Pioneer Village has become one of New York's famous places. Any singer who can appear on this stage has attracted much attention. Even many producers and agents will come here to dig here. Gems. But what is commendable is that Pioneer Village still retains its purity. The singers invited always pay attention to quality, which has nothing to do with fame. Stanley insists on guarding every level.

It's just like the horn's gate bar in "Drunk Country Folk Songs", but the difference is that Stanley doesn't pay attention to "commercial value", he pays attention to the singer's soul.

Because of this, the Pioneer Village has not become popular, nor has it become a holy place for countless folk singers like the Horn’s Gate Bar, nor has it established cooperative relations with major music companies, and still stays in its own petty bourgeoisie circle. Instead, it has become the last pure land for true senior enthusiasts.

Even with the blessings of Blue Gifts, Pioneer Village still did not make a lot of money in its operations, but only maintained a balance of payments. Stanley's stubbornness was the root cause.

Thanks to this, the quality of the performances every night is still maintained, and now it’s time to perform tonight.
