I once heard Wang Lei mention that she had a younger brother back in her hometown. Her extremely biased parents placed the entire burden of her brother's marriage and career entirely on her shoulders. Last year, she had just helped her brother make a down payment on an apartment in the county town, but her good-for-nothing brother was not only ungrateful, he also forced their parents to pressure Taozi to give him another 200,000 yuan as a dowry to the woman he was to marry…
I know that Peach has had enough, but she just can't let go of this family bond that has turned sour.
I finally spoke to Peach and said, "We can talk about whether or not to stay in Dali later... It's rare for everyone to be gathered together like this today, so why don't you show off your skills and mix a few drinks for everyone to liven things up?"
"No problem, I've been wanting to find a way to thank everyone for a while now. I'll mix a few of my best drinks for you."

If you were willing to do it, wouldn't that be like adding wings to a tiger for us? By the way, I also opened a bar in the ancient city. It's really true that you need to compare bartenders to distinguish the best from the worst! You're great, really..."
Amidst Bai Lu's effusive praise, I suddenly remembered that I was planning to turn my inn into a small bar. This serendipitous discovery only strengthened my resolve to keep Taozi here.
I have a strong feeling that when we, people with different strengths, come together, we will definitely be able to achieve something great, and Dali is where we set sail!
