"Dongsheng, stop being so busy and take a seat. I have to toast you a glass of wine."
Xu Damao's face was full of smiles as he looked at the four delicious dishes on the table. He felt that Jia Dongsheng was giving him a lot of face and he had to have a good drink with them.
"I wanted to be busy, but I'm already busy."
Jia Dongsheng didn't hesitate and sat down on the stool. Xu Damao immediately filled his glass with wine. "Dongsheng, I want to toast you. Thank you for helping me prepare this table of dishes."
"Xu Damao, you really should be thanked. Dongsheng has used all his skills in preparing these dishes, without holding back at all."
Sha Zhu took a bite of the dish and sighed.
"That's for sure. Dongsheng is a man from our city. He's very dignified and much better than some people."
Everyone here knows who Xu Damao is referring to in these words.
"Come on, come on, drink some wine."
The dishes were already prepared. Jia Dongsheng didn't want Sha Zhu and Xu Damao to quarrel again, otherwise he would not be able to enjoy the meal properly. He picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Xu Damao, and then took a sip.
"Wow, this Wuliangye tastes really good." Jia Dongsheng sighed in his heart, and at the same time thought that he should find time to get a batch of wine to store. As a wine lover, he knew how to store liquor.
For example, the wine cellar in his homestay was built under his personal supervision. If you keep the liquor in it for twenty or thirty years, the liquor will only become more mellow and not have any off-flavor at all.
"Well, I happen to have quite a few liquor tickets left. I could get some Moutai, Wuliangye, or something like that and store them. I could get something that's 20 or 30 years old. It's a wonderful thought!"
As a wine lover, Jia Dongsheng would never let go of this opportunity.
"Uncle One, Uncle Two, Uncle Three, hurry up and eat. I'm happy today, so we must eat and drink well."
Xu Damao picked up the wine glass and kept greeting people.
"Da Mao, what makes you so happy?"
He took a sip of wine from his bangs, narrowed his eyes, and continued speaking.
"hey-hey."
Xu Damao didn't say anything either, he just kept looking at Sha Zhu and laughing. Well, he didn't need to explain his happiness, everyone else understood it too.
This is why he is happy to see Shazhu in trouble.
"Xu Damao, take your lustful eyes away from me. I'll beat you up before you finish your meal."
"Haha, Silly Zhu, if you have the guts, don't do it. Let's have a drinking contest. I'll knock you down today."
To be honest, knocking down Sha Zhu has been Xu Damao's dream since he was a child, but it has never been realized.
If he could knock Sha Zhu down by drinking today, it would be a major accomplishment in his life.
"Haha, little guy, how could I not know your little tricks? You want to get me drunk, right?"
Sha Zhu sneered: "It's not that your master Zhu looks down on you, but with your two taels of alcohol tolerance, you are no match for me."
"We'll know if they're our match after a fight."
Xu Damao also had a cold expression on his face, and a murderous aura spread across the table: "I'll pour you some wine."
As he spoke, Xu Damao had already filled the two-liang wine glass. He then raised his glass and said to Sha Zhu, "Sha Zhu, be a man, let's drink it in one gulp."
"Am I afraid of you?"
Sha Zhu, who was already angry, didn't hesitate. He picked up the wine glass, tilted his head back and poured two taels of Wuliangye into his mouth. He drank it in one gulp.
Seeing that Sha Zhu had drunk too much, Xu Damao certainly didn't want to be outdone. Over the years, he had gone to the countryside to show movies and accompanied leaders when they entertained guests. Xu Damao still had a good capacity for drinking, and drinking two taels of liquor in one gulp was a common occurrence for him.
"What are you two doing? Eat some food to calm your nerves down."
Yi Zhonghai saw the two men drinking as if they were competing with each other, and was really afraid that something might happen between them, so he quickly stood up to persuade them.
"Uncle, I'm fine. Two ounces of wine is nothing."
Sha Zhu's face turned red. There was nothing he could do. Although he drank a lot normally, most of the time he liked to pour a glass of wine, eat some peanuts, and drink it slowly bit by bit, savoring the taste.
Xu Damao is used to drinking quickly. After all, his leader asked him to accompany the guests. If he doesn't make the guests drink well, how can he be the one to accompany them next time?
So, after drinking a glass of wine, Xu Damao's expression remained unchanged, but Sha Zhu was a little drunk.
Sha Zhu was tough in words but honest in actions. He immediately picked up a piece of chicken and started eating.
"Da Mao, as the most senior official in the courtyard, I have to tell you something from the bottom of my heart."
When Yi Zhonghai saw Sha Zhu's situation, he habitually took sides. He was afraid that Xu Damao would keep pouring Sha Zhu one glass after another, so he quickly changed the subject and prepared to give Sha Zhu some time to adapt.
"Um?"
Xu Damao didn't think too much about it. After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, he asked curiously: "Uncle, what do you want to tell me?"
"Da Mao, look, your ducks and chickens, they were all brought back from your trip to the countryside to show movies, right?"
"Yeah." Xu Damao nodded, a little puzzled.
"Life in the countryside isn't easy these days. You said you'd bring so many things back with you next time you go back. How are you expecting the villagers to survive?"
Yi Zhonghai said earnestly, "If you only brought back some mushrooms and fungus, that would be fine, but these are ducks and chickens, and it's not easy for the villagers to raise them."
"Uncle, you misunderstood."
Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Xu Damao's face turned ugly and he quickly interrupted, "These things were given to me by the commune team. I didn't ask for them."
