"Hey, Director Wu, now that you put it that way, we're really excited!"
"That's right, Comrade Xiao Ye has come to study. We are relying on our age to teach him properly, and it won't be considered bullying!"
Ye Zhiqiu looked shy and smiled as he said, "Leaders, we must respect the elderly and love the young! I am the youngest here, and I need you to take care of me."
Qian Yuwen smiled and asked, "Comrade Xiaoye, since we respect the elderly and love the young, I'm the oldest here, so what should I do?"
Ye Zhiqiu replied seriously, "Leader, what else can we do? Of course, I, the younger one, will drink two cups, and you will drink one! You are not only my elder, but also my leader. I want to learn from you, so I must adopt a learning attitude!"
Qian Yuwen said happily: "Okay! This is what you said, Xiaoye! Listen to what Xiaoye said, this is a good seedling! He can even let me drink like this, we really can't bully him!
Let's guess the numbers later. Winners get one drink, losers get two! By the way, Xiaoye, can you guess the numbers?"
Ye Zhiqiu pinched it with his thumb and index finger, smiled and said, "Just a little bit..."
"Then I have to test your kung fu! Come on, let's sit down and chat!"
When Ye Zhiqiu heard Qian Yuwen's words, he knew that he must be from Guangxi. At first, he thought he was from Guangdong because of his accent.
Because guessing numbers is more common in Guangxi, while only a few people in Guangdong can do it. However, in this era, it is still quite common.
The group started walking inside. After Ye Zhiqiu sat down, someone brought over twelve bottles of wine. Seeing that it was Erguotou, he stood up and helped pour the wine.
He was the youngest here, because he knew that in Guangxi, the youngest person was responsible for pouring the wine. He wasn't sure if it was a local custom, but when he drank with people from Guangxi in the past, the youngest person was always responsible for pouring the wine.
After Ye Zhiqiu helped pour the wine, he sat down quietly. He didn't drink the opening drink yet, and it was not time for him to go to study yet.
After Qian Yuwen and Wu Shengli finished speaking, they raised their glasses and drank two cups in a row. Qian Yuwen then stood up to see if Ye Zhiqiu's guessing skills were solid.
Ye Zhiqiu also stood up with a smile, and he reached out to shake hands with Qian Yuwen. Wu Shengli, who was between the two of them, was a little amused. He was not very good at guessing numbers, he could only shout out numbers.
"Hello, brothers!"
"Six sixes!"
"Five blessings are coming!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and pointed with two fingers, and Qian Yuwen shouted six. The three fingers he showed were guessed by Ye Zhiqiu in the first round.
Qian Yuwen looked at Ye Zhiqiu as if he had seen a ghost. This kind of guessing game where the outcome is decided in one round, he only felt this kind of pressure from novices!
Because experienced players are actually very good at calculating the odds when shouting, after a few drinks, they are basically familiar with the other party's usual gestures. So they will compete with each other to guess the number they will say, and it can take several rounds of guessing to determine the winner.
In fact, guessing the number is very simple. The palm of your hand represents the number five, the fist represents zero, and one, two, three, and four represent the number of fingers.
If the sum of the numbers called out by both parties is correct, then the other party has been guessed correctly, which means that the other party loses and needs to drink.
When playing this game, you have to pay attention to your momentum. As people in Guangxi say, it means losing the battle but not the spirit. You can drink if you lose, but you must not let the opponent overwhelm you.
Qian Yuwen drank it all in one gulp. He smiled and said to Ye Zhiqiu, "Xiao Ye, do you guess numbers often? Or have you rarely guessed numbers? Why do I feel the pressure from the new horse from you?"
Ye Zhiqiu still pinched his fingers and said with a smile: "Leader, I only learned to guess the number from others. I haven't played it many times. It should be in the category of new horses."
"Hey! I don't believe that Xiaoye, a new horse like you, is so weird. Let's continue!"
"Wu Kuishou!"
"May the four seasons bring prosperity!"
"Eight-sided wind!
"Perfect!"
………………
After Qian Yuwen drank four cups in a row, he really lost his temper! Ye Zhiqiu didn't drink a single cup, but he, the old horse, lost five cups in a row.
Wu Shengli, who was standing by, was so amused by what he saw that he poured wine for Qian Yuwen with great pleasure.
Qian Yuwen finished his drink and said sullenly, "It seems your guessing skills are quite solid, Xiaoye. How about you try a guess with them first?"
Ye Zhiqiu took a bottle of wine and two glasses and said with a smile: "Hey, listen to the leader, I will toast to the leaders of the textile factory for a while, I will make a circle first!
Director Liu, I toast you. According to the tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young, you drink one cup and I drink two. Let's drink it first as a token of our respect!"
Ye Zhiqiu drank two cups neatly, which drew cheers from everyone.
He had already had two drinks, so Director Liu smiled and drank one too, taking advantage and not forgetting to praise him: "Comrade Xiao Ye is good! I don't know about other things, but he drinks with a certain boldness. Young people should be so energetic!"
What happened next was beyond the expectations of everyone in the textile factory. Ye Zhiqiu's circle started fighting and refused to sit down! After five rounds of this, these people had already drunk several glasses while they were guessing the numbers.
By now, Ye Zhiqiu had fought so many times, and Wei Zhuangnan and the others were very smart. They followed the charge and poured wine. They really made the people in the textile factory drunk and confused!
Wu Shengli also took the opportunity to force Qian Yuwen to drink several glasses. Seeing that he was getting drunk, he drank happily.
So he quickly asked, "Old Qian, we are from a brother company. This time we are exchanging beer for your towels, you have to give me a promise! Otherwise, I, Wu Shengli, will be too embarrassed to go back and see the workers in the factory!"
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu circled back and said with a smile, "Leader, how do you think I'm doing in my studies today? Can you help us? Our factory's Mid-Autumn Festival welfare will be a disgrace without your support!"
Although Qian Yuwen had drunk a bit too much, he was sober. He said helplessly, "I'm really not trying to embarrass you. You know, many foreign experts have come to this year's aid project.
We're all working overtime right now, producing all sorts of textiles for these people, so we don't have much spare time. If it were you, I'd just post one, and I'd assign you the number!"
Wu Shengli winked at Ye Zhiqiu, who immediately understood and started pouring himself some wine.
Ye Zhiqiu pretended to be bitter and said with great embarrassment: "Leader, we signed a military order before we set out this time! Please have mercy on me. This is my first time out and I need to learn and improve myself. If I fail to complete the task, the factory director will be dissatisfied with me. I offer you a toast, please help the child!"
After saying that, Ye Zhiqiu started drinking. After drinking two cups, he shouted, "Leader, please help the child." Then he drank two more cups.
