An Shuheng and An Shucheng exchanged a glance, looked at the refilled wine glasses, and then at the two people next to them who seemed to be used to it. They knew that their two younger sisters usually drank like this.
Seeing that they weren't touching their chopsticks, An Shuyi urged, "Big brother, second brother, don't just look at them, eat some vegetables. Eat the chicken first. This was caught in that little world. Even the birds flying in the sky are as big as chickens, and chickens are as big as pigs."
"It's a pity it's too dangerous, otherwise we would have brought back more to eat. But I still have a lot here, enough to eat many times."
While talking, he picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks, put it in the bowl, blew on it to cool it down, and then put it in his mouth. The taste was simply amazing.
Seeing that she was eating too quickly, Xiao Yubai put the meat in her bowl, blew on it to cool it down, and then gave it to her, earning a big smile in return.
The An brothers stopped watching and started eating the meat. After eating the first piece, they sped up and ate incredibly fast.
This time, he no longer held back. He watched as the two girls ate meat and drank wine, the dishes dwindling and the empty jars multiplying.
They had only just received their second glass of wine when the two of them had already finished a whole jar, making one wonder just how much they could actually drink.
An Shucheng leaned to the side and asked Xiao Yubai, "Won't they get drunk drinking like this?"
Even if he has a high alcohol tolerance, he can't possibly finish a glass of wine after eating only a few bites of food. He would only drink like that if he encountered someone who wanted to challenge him to a drinking contest. But now that his family owns many businesses, no one dares to challenge him to a drinking contest.
Xiao Yubai glanced at the two people beside him and said, "I've never seen them drunk. This is just a small amount of wine. They might bring out more later, but don't worry, Second Brother, they won't get drunk."
He had only seen his wife drunk once, and she was faking it. If he had known, he wouldn't have done it that way, because it would have been too stupid.
"With such a high alcohol tolerance, how did you all come to know my sister and the others?"
"Shushu and I met at a teahouse, and it happened several times afterward!"
“I met Huahua at the academy. I’m a teacher there. They brought their children to study, and that’s how we met,” Cheng Yumo said from the side.
"How old were you when you met them?" Men in ancient times married young. Judging from their words and actions, their families were well-off, so they must have been married long ago.
Xiao Yubai said, "When we met, we were both in our twenties. At that time, they were almost forty. However, there was a doctor in Taoyuan Village who was very skilled in medicine."
"Shushu and Huahua's health was well taken care of, and they looked like they were in their thirties. It was only when they were sixty that their health deteriorated slightly."
An Shucheng nodded. "Aren't you married? What are your family's circumstances?"
If they were already married, then he had to say that the two girls had terrible taste. In modern times, it's normal for someone in their twenties not to be married, but in ancient times, that was a rare thing.
An Shuyi, who was standing nearby, heard his question and replied, "Yu Bai is a prince, unmarried, and a first-rank general at the border, commanding hundreds of thousands of soldiers."
"Although Yu Mo doesn't have any impressive status, he was the top scholar in the imperial examination and the son of the Grand Tutor. However, he later resigned from his official post and opened an academy in the prefectural city, where many top scholars have emerged from his students."
"Neither of them is married, nor have they decided on a concubine. Second brother, is this answer satisfactory?"
Even if she and Huahua have terrible taste, they would never date a married man; that would only demean themselves.
"I'm satisfied. I'm only doing this because I'm young and naive, and my judgment isn't good."
"Don't worry, Second Brother, we have a good eye."
An Shucheng nodded, "I know you guys are amazing, hurry up and eat." After saying that, he picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in his bowl, eating with relish.
He had never eaten wild mushroom hot pot before; he had only ever had it stir-fried, and the taste was just average. But today, after stewing it into soup, it tasted delicious.
"Shushu, do you still have a lot of wild mushrooms where you are? Give me some, I'll treat my friends to a meal another day and let them try them."
An Shuyi nodded, "There are still many. I'll give you some, but they must be cooked thoroughly before eating, especially the dried wild mushrooms, which need to be stewed for a longer time. As for the fresh ones, I won't give them to you; it's hard to explain."
Now that it's winter, unless they're grown in greenhouses, there's simply no way you can find fresh wild mushrooms.
"Okay, I'll take whatever you give me, I'm not picky. Give me some of the wine made from sika deer too."
These are all good things. He's tried them himself, so he has to let his friends try them too. After all, everyone has good things to share.
"I'll get some of each kind for my second brother later, but he can't drink too much. These wines have been soaking for too long, and some even have medicinal herbs in them. Big brother, would you like some too?" Xia Hua asked.
An Shuheng nodded, "Give me some too. I'll buy some nice bottles tomorrow, fill them up, and then give them to me."
An Shuyi and Xia Hua exchanged a glance, then looked at their eldest brother, who had a calm expression. An Shuyi asked curiously, "Big brother, are you sending this to a friend? What kind of friend?"
"Logically speaking, friends don't need pretty vases unless it's a gift for a close friend, especially an elder. Brother, do you have a girlfriend?"
Who would have thought that even an iron tree could bloom? And it's unbelievable that my brother, with his aloof demeanor, would have a girlfriend.
The others also put down their chopsticks and stopped eating, watching with curious expressions.
Seeing their reaction, An Shuheng nodded calmly, "Yes, I have a girlfriend. Her father is my superior officer. We've met a few times because of that small world."
“She has a lively personality, but she is calm and composed. She is also kind-hearted. After spending a long time together, I found that she was very suitable to be my wife, so I proposed to her. We have been dating for several months now, and apart from her father, no one knows about our relationship.”
“I originally wanted to take her home this time to meet my parents, but Shucheng called and said that you had been missing for more than two months and were not answering your calls. He said you might have been kidnapped, so I went to pick you up.”
Although he couldn't bring his girlfriend home, he was very glad to come and pick up his two younger sisters, because he knew about that little world. Qingya had also been looking for that little world, but there had been no news.
I'll call her later to tell her the good news, and if possible, arrange a time to meet.
His parents were also anxious about his marriage and made it clear that as long as he liked someone, they could settle down, so he was very relieved.
An Shuyi glared at her second brother. It was all his fault. If he hadn't called her eldest brother, he wouldn't have gone to America or brought them back. Her sister-in-law would have been able to meet the parents.
"Brother, now that we're back, why don't you find a time to reschedule our meeting? You're already twenty-nine; if you don't get married soon, when will you ever get married?"
