Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe, who were being stared at by Jia Dongsheng, also looked at each other in confusion. What could they say?
The two people in front of me were the chefs they hired for their wedding banquet. They could be said to be friends, but it didn't feel right no matter how I looked at it.
Jia Dongsheng obviously doesn't want to accept Nan Yi as his disciple, but Nan Yi is determined to become his disciple, which makes them very embarrassed!
"Xiao'e, what should we do? What should we say?"
Xu Damao knew clearly that he wanted to rely on Nan Yi to suppress Sha Zhu, so it was not easy to offend Nan Yi.
But his monthly happiness index still depends on Jia Dongsheng, so Jia Dongsheng cannot be offended.
Finally, after thinking for a long time and coming up with no solution, he threw the problem to his wife.
Isn’t the wife’s job to take the blame?
Hearing Xu Damao's words, Lou Xiao'e widened her eyes with an incredible expression. Why do you ask a woman about your men's affairs?
Is this fair?
Is there still law for this?
But Lou Xiao'e was also a kind-hearted woman, and she really started to think about it seriously.
It’s just that she took a little longer to think, and what about Nan Yi?
He is a stubborn person who doesn't know how to adapt at all. He just keeps bowing his head.
Jia Dongsheng didn't say anything, he just kept kowtowing, and every time he kowtowed, there was a sound. The floor of Xu Damao's house was not made of wood, but bricks. At that moment, Jia Dongsheng felt that if Lou Xiaoe continued to think, Nan Yi would die here.
He was still waiting for Xu Damao's good wine.
However, when Jia Dongsheng thought about accepting an apprentice who was so old, and who he had treated as a friend before, he felt a headache.
"Nan Yi, please get up first, and let's talk for a while."
"No, I won't get up unless Master accepts me."
His stubborn temper came up and he wouldn't listen to anything Nan Yi said.
If it was someone he didn't know, Jia Dongsheng wouldn't care about you at all, but after all, they had a good chat before and their personalities were quite compatible. But that was only as a friend, as for being a disciple, it was hard to say!
"How about we have a discussion?"
"What are you discussing?"
Nan Yi felt dizzy from kowtows so much, and when he heard this, he shook his head and asked.
"Tonight, we are here to drink the good wine that Damao brought us."
Jia Dongsheng said, "Well, tonight you and I will get drunk and decide the winner. Whoever gets drunk first loses."
"Whoever wins gets to listen to him."
There was no other way, Jia Dongsheng could only find a way to deal with Nan Yi, the stubborn donkey.
Anyway, it is impossible for him to get drunk, which means that Jia Dongsheng is bound to win. Then, the winner will be decided by the winner. If he doesn't accept Nan Yi as his disciple, Nan Yi should have nothing to say, right?
"So, if I beat you in drinking, you will accept me as your disciple?" Nan Yi looked at Jia Dongsheng seriously.
"That's right."
After giving Nan Yi an affirmative answer, Jia Dongsheng continued to confirm: "But if I win, you don't have to mention the matter of becoming my apprentice anymore. However, I will still teach you cooking when the time comes. How about that?"
"Let me think about it."
Nan Yi started to think. He was calculating his alcohol tolerance, but then he remembered that the last time he and Jia Dongsheng drank, he seemed to be the one who got drunk first.
But that time didn't count. Nan Yi thought that the last time he drank was because Jia Dongsheng brought him the news that he could be transferred to the steel rolling mill, and he could finally escape from the toilet that had to be cleaned from time to time.
So I was happy and drank a few more glasses, which is why I got drunk.
Nan Yi usually has a clear understanding of his alcohol tolerance, and two kilograms of Erguotou is no problem.
After all, I grew up in a restaurant. How can I open a restaurant if I can’t drink?
"If I force myself to drink, I should be able to drink two and a half kilograms. Dongsheng's alcohol tolerance is probably not as good as mine, right?"
In a short period of time, Nan Yi's thoughts turned a thousand times. He understood that Jia Dongsheng was unwilling to accept him as his disciple, but he was worried if he didn't become his disciple. If the victory or defeat could be decided by winning or losing, Jia Dongsheng would probably have nothing to say.
"Okay, that's settled."
With Nan Yi's consent, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e also breathed a sigh of relief, and Jia Dongsheng was even more delighted. He was very happy that he had finally tricked this stubborn guy into the trap.
Even if Nan Yi could drink a hundred kilograms of liquor, it would be useless, because he was a man with a homestay and a cheating habit.
"It's settled then. I'll go cook the duck now."
Jia Dongsheng excitedly grabbed his beer and headed for the kitchen. However, when he reached the door, he paused and turned to look at Xu Damao. "Damo, where are your codonopsis and other mountain products? Find them quickly."
"They're all in the kitchen, Xiao'e, go and help find them."
Xu Damao replied, then added, "That's not right, Dongsheng. Didn't you say you wanted to make beer duck? Why are you still using mountain products?"
"Do we need mountain products to make beer duck?"
"You don't need it when making beer duck, but you do need it when stewing duck. Chop a duck in half, two ways."
"Dongsheng, I'll take you to get some mountain products."
Lou Xiao'e smiled and led the way, while Nan Yi behind her said, "I'll go to the cafeteria and learn how to make beer duck."
The Xu family’s house has two and a half back rooms, and that half room is used as a kitchen, so the Xu family’s kitchen is independent.
With Nan Yi's help, Jia Dongsheng cooked even faster. In more than an hour, two ducks were on the table. In addition, there were two side dishes, scrambled eggs with green onions, and a plate of peanuts.
Four dishes is quite a luxury.
However, the peanuts were brought by Nan Yi, the eggs were brought back by Xu Damao from the countryside, and the duck was from Jia Dongsheng. With four dishes for three people, it was not considered a luxury.
"Okay, let's try this beer duck and see how it tastes and whether you are satisfied." Jia Dongsheng said with a smile after sitting down.
"Hehe... Just smelling this fragrance, I know it's the right flavor."
Lou Xiao'e replied with a smile, her eyes filled with joy and anticipation. The little foodie Lou Zi was online again.
"Come, try my wine. I just got it from my father-in-law two days ago."
As he said that, he picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Jia Dongsheng and Nan Yi. While pouring the wine, Xu Damao's eyes flickered a little. He still remembered Jia Dongsheng's hint that he couldn't have children.
"You don't want to accept Nan Yi as your apprentice, so I'm going to get you drunk today and let you mock me, humph."
This was what Xu Damao really thought, and he did just that. He had just finished pouring the wine and hadn't even taken a bite of food when he picked up his glass and said, "Come on, let's have a drink first. Welcome Nan Yi to move into our courtyard. From now on, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, so we must get along well!"
There was nothing wrong with what he said, and Jia Dongsheng didn't doubt it. He just picked up the glass and clinked it with Xu Damao and Nan Yi. But who knew that Lou Xiaoe also picked up the bottle and poured some for herself.
"Since you're welcoming Nan Yi, I have to drink some too. This is twenty-year-old Gujing Gongjiu, which even my dad is reluctant to drink. So, I'll take this opportunity today and drink some too."
When Lou Xiao'e said this, the atmosphere became heated. There was no way around it. Drinking with a woman at the table and drinking without a woman were two completely different atmospheres.
