Lu Li noticed Cao Cao's predicament and immediately poured him a cup of wine, saying, "Brother Mengde, you have the people in your heart. I toast you with this cup."
Cao Cao picked up his wine cup, clinked it with Lu Li's, and drank it all in one gulp.
But after finishing the drink, his eyes suddenly widened.
This wine is so sweet and mellow, it's simply a delicacy.
Cao Cao was deeply moved and couldn't help but ask, "What... what kind of wine is this?"
“Just distilled spirits,” Lu Li replied.
Cao Cao was overjoyed and exclaimed, "There is such delicious wine in this world!"
"Where did Mr. Lu buy it from?"
Cao Cao was also a lover of wine. Upon tasting such fine wine, he was immediately eager to get his hands on a jar.
"Well, this wine is brewed by myself; you can't buy it!"
"Homemade?"
Cao Cao was stunned. This wine was actually brewed by Lu Li himself? How could that be! This is comparable to the finest nectar!
"Mr. Lu, would you be willing to sell me a jar?" Cao Cao couldn't help but ask.
"To say I'm selling is too polite. Brother Mengde has traveled a long way to send us herbs and grain, so how about I give you a few dozen jars?" Lu Li said generously.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Lu!" Cao Cao was overjoyed.
After saying that, he poured himself another cup and drank it all in one gulp!
The wine was very strong and extremely hot. Cao Cao could even feel it flowing down his neck and into his stomach, and he could almost clearly see where all his internal organs were.
"Good wine, truly good wine!" Cao Cao exclaimed excitedly, pouring himself another cup.
After drinking only three cups, Cao Cao's complexion gradually became rosy.
This is because alcohol in the body has an effect; alcohol can stimulate the brain and make people excited.
"Hahaha, fine wine, delightful! Fine wine, I'm so lucky to have encountered such a fine wine today!"
After drinking three cups of wine, Cao Cao's face showed a look of intoxication. He seemed to be floating on air, as if he had forgotten his troubles and was completely immersed in the moment.
Seeing Cao Cao enjoying himself so much, Lai Fu sighed slightly, which further confirmed his own thoughts: Cao Cao really had never tasted anything good.
Cao Cao got so drunk that he fell asleep immediately.
Laifu looked at Cao Cao and said, "Master, Cao Cao is probably drunk!"
Cao Cao's alcohol tolerance was truly impressive; he drank three whole cups before getting drunk.
Zhang Liao only drank one cup and then fell asleep immediately.
"Tomorrow, continue to find people to drink with him, just don't let him leave here," Lu Li said calmly.
Laifu instantly understood what Lu Li meant: if Cao Cao wanted to gain fame, he had to make a name for himself.
But if he arrives in Bingzhou and never shows his face, then it will be nothing more than a complete show.
If word gets out that he's been drunk all the time since arriving in Bingzhou, then all the things he's done will have been for nothing.
Instantly, Leif couldn't help but shiver.
My master is truly cunning and vicious!
"Pah, pah, pah! How could you think of Master like that! This is called 'all's fair in war'!" Leif quickly tried to convince himself.
"Master, I understand what to do!"
The next day.
When Cao Cao woke up, he felt relaxed all over, but his head was throbbing, like he was having a hangover.
"How much did I drink last night? How did I get so drunk I passed out?" He rubbed his forehead and muttered to himself.
"Lord Mengde, you're finally awake!" Lai Fu said as he entered, carrying a bowl of hangover soup to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took the bowl, slowly sipped it, and then asked, "I drank a few too many cups yesterday and almost missed important business. I really shouldn't have done that."
"However, this wine is indeed excellent. It's the first time I've tasted such a mellow and fragrant brew. It's truly unforgettable!"
As he spoke, Cao Cao's face was full of satisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Lai Fu smiled and said, "Lord Mengde, you're quite right. How about we have a few more drinks later?"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, then he swallowed hard and said, "We can drink wine another day. I'd better go and see the disaster victims first."
Just then, Dian Wei walked in carrying a large jar of wine.
"Lord Mengde, I missed the chance to drink with you yesterday, but you can't escape today!"
Cao Cao and Dian Wei had gotten along well before. Cao Cao was very fond of Dian Wei back then. Who wouldn't love such a fierce general?
"Tiezhu, take me to see the disaster victims first, and we'll drink together when we get back, okay?" Cao Cao asked.
Dian Wei shook his head and said, "No, I, Old Dian, finally managed to snatch a jar of wine, I absolutely cannot let you leave."
After saying that, Dian Wei sat down and opened the wine bottle, and a fragrant aroma of wine immediately wafted out.
Cao Cao was instantly tempted, swallowing hard and staring intently at the jar of wine.
"Tiezhu, I have something urgent to attend to..."
Cao Cao tried to persuade him, but Dian Wei wouldn't listen at all. He simply sat down and poured him a cup!
"Hey, Tiezhu, I really have something urgent to attend to..." Cao Cao said, still unwilling to give up.
But Dian Wei still acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, and drank it all in one gulp. Then he looked at Cao Cao and said, "I've already drunk it, are you going to drink it or not?"
If you don't drink, you're disrespecting me, Dian Wei!
Cao Cao had no choice but to pick up the wine cup and drink it all in one gulp!
"Hahaha, Lord Mengde is truly generous! Let's go again!" Dian Wei laughed loudly.
Cao Cao had no choice but to drink two more cups of wine.
"Hiccup~~~" Cao Cao hiccuped, his cheeks flushed, and he looked quite dazed.
"I can't take it anymore, Tiezhu, I really have something to do..."
Dian Wei laughed and said, "Since Lord Mengde has other important matters to attend to, then go and get busy."
