Why it never ends

Chapter 959 Tavern

A few people walked in. The bar was not very big, but half of the people were already seated. The decoration inside matched the outside. The old wooden floor and tables and chairs showed a simple temperament, but there were several modernist paintings hanging on the two walls near the bar. The cold white spotlights shone on them, like works in an art exhibition.

There were only two young women working in the entire pub hall. One was pouring wine and coffee at the bar and making some simple snacks that could be eaten. The other was moving quickly between the tables, carrying an astonishing number of wine glasses and plates.

Eucalyptus walked around the venue but couldn't find the entrance to the toilet, so she had to bite the bullet and go to the bar to ask. She saw that the two women were very busy, so she felt a little embarrassed for using the toilet without paying. When she was a few steps away from the front desk, she suddenly wanted to suggest to Hesta, "Why don't we order some drinks?" But when she turned around, she saw that Ximoya and Hesta were already ordering from the only waiter in the hall.

Eucalyptus sighed lightly, then quickly walked to the front desk: "Boss, may I ask--"

"Do you want to use the restroom?" The woman inside didn't look up. "The restroom is behind me. You have to go around the side first. I'll show you the way."

Eucalyptus looked around and soon found the side door leading to the bar on the left.

There was a whole row of men sitting at the bar. When Eucalyptus walked past them, these seven or eight men looked at him at the same time. Eucalyptus could almost feel the weight of these gazes.

"It's right behind me." The woman was holding a flame blowtorch in her left hand, grilling a piece of fish with skin attached. The edge of the fish skin was slightly curled. She carefully observed the state of the fish and never looked at Eucalyptus. "Did you see it? There's a sign hanging on it."

At the opening behind the woman that was only wide enough for one person to enter and exit, Eucalyptus saw the sign for the women's restroom.

Another woman's voice came from not far away: "Table 17! Two glasses of white beer! Two standard dishes, one chicken and one fish!"

The woman standing at the bar still held the blowtorch in her left hand. With her right hand, she had already expertly taken down two extra-thick glasses from above her head. She repeated loudly, "Two glasses of white beer, two standard dishes, one chicken and one fish!"

Eucalyptus had already walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

The noisy sounds outside suddenly quieted down.

The toilet was small, but very clean and simple. There was a smell of incense in the air, but it was not pungent. Opposite the eucalyptus, there was a photo of two women hugging in front of a desert building. They were wearing very bright tops, sunglasses on their heads, and their smiles were very bright. There was a handwritten note under the wooden frame: Ellie and Lalin's trip to the temple

After going to the toilet, Eucalyptus stood up and looked at them for a while, only then did he realize that the two of them had some similarities in their eyes and eyebrows, and they must be a pair of sisters.

……

In the hall, Hesta and his friends had already ordered their meals. When they saw Eucalyptus come out, they handed the menu to her.

Eucalyptus was a little surprised: "...Why did you eat it?"

"You'll have to find food when you go back anyway," Ximoya said, "why don't we just solve it here together?"

While Eucalyptus was flipping through the menu, Hesta's eyes fell on a table of men not far away. The two men were wearing brand new military uniforms and looked like new recruits who had just arrived.

From the moment they entered the door, their eyes were glued to the restaurant waiter like chewing gum, and they occasionally showed obscene smiles. After a while, the woman who had been busy in the hall passed by with lemonade, and the male guests at that table shouted, "Lai Lin!"

The woman turned around: "Oh, what?"

"Come here," the man waved, "we want more food!"

"Okay," the woman picked up the pen tied at her waist and walked over, "Tell me, what do you want to add?"

The man flipped through the menu. "Let me see. I want to add—"

Before he finished speaking, the man's hand had already landed on Lai Lin's butt.

Hesta placed his left hand on the table and stretched his right foot out of the table. Just as he was about to stand up, he heard the woman laughing and grabbing the man's hand. "Yes sir, fifteen robies!"

All the diners around looked over and saw Lai Lin grabbing a man's hand. They immediately understood what was happening and started to make a noise and scream.

In the sudden noise, the two recruits were at a loss and looked a little flustered: "...What do you mean by fifteen robies?"

"Did you touch her butt?" asked the diners at another table sitting to the man's left, laughing. He was also wearing the same uniform, but the clothes had been washed and faded. "A touch is fifteen robbies, and a pinch is twenty!"

"It's too expensive!" The recruit stared, "My regular meal is only twelve!"

Several veterans nearby stood up upon hearing this, and they flexed their wrists, cracking their knuckles, and the smiles on their faces became stiff.

Lai Lin tilted his head and looked at the new guests and extended his hand to them.

The recruit cursed and began to dig into his wallet, finally slapping fifteen robies into Lai Lin's hand.

"Thank you!" Lai Lin laughed and stuffed the money into his pocket, "Welcome to come often!"

Hesta looked at the scene in front of her with great surprise. She silently withdrew her right foot - she really did not expect this development.

"Lai Lin," another man's voice came from a distance, "I'm asking for my friend. There's a price for touching your butt, but is there a price for touching other places?"

"Yes!" Lai Lin turned his upper body, "Then you have to help me buy this store, and you have to keep the people here to help me work!"

"Hahaha, I think you really are in need of a man!"

Lai Lin was about to retort when she caught a glimpse of Eleven and Qiqi in the corner. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, shut up! I forgot there are two children here..."

She walked toward Hestana's table.

"Sorry, it was just a joke... Was there one person here who didn't order food?"

"Yes, it's me." Eucalyptus replied in a low voice, "Yes, I want a bottle of mineral water and a set meal of fish."

"Okay!" Lai Lin smiled and loudly announced the name of the dish to the bar, then turned back and said, "Wait for ten minutes at most."

"……OK."

Lai Lin smiled at them and said, "Call me if you need anything, okay?"

She turned around and started to get busy again. Hesta looked at the men at the table who had just been fined. Both of them looked unhappy. After the dishes were served, they ate them quickly and ran away with their coats.

After a while, Eucalyptus' set meal was served, along with a large bowl of bacon salad.

"...We didn't order this?" Ximoya pointed at the salad bowl.

"I gave it to you." Lai Lin said with a smile, "You are new guests who are here for the first time!"
