Lu Chen promised Niu Sitong, Liu Fenyong and others to have a treat, and simply invited them in the canteen of the city government that night, including all the Standing Committee members and party members, a total of two tables, although the cost of ingredients was paid by him, and he must also give the canteen staff "overtime wages", but this arrangement still made everyone cry and laugh, and teased him for being really stingy.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't be stingy, don't jump to conclusions for the time being, wait until you drink my wine." After speaking, he took out two jars from the cupboard on the side, thinking that he had placed them in advance.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they heard Song Jinxiu chuckle and said: "Mayor Lu, comrades are really right when they say that you are stingy, even the wine you have prepared is bottled wine." ”

Lu Chen said: "Mayor Song, it seems that you are not good at drinking. ”

"Hey, how so?" Song Jinxiu asked in surprise.

Lu Chen said: "Sealed jar wines like this are generally vintage, and they are the favorite of people who are good at wine, and they are not comparable to those expensive so-called famous wines on the market." ”

"I agree with Brother Lu's statement." It was Liu Fenyong who spoke, and then said to Song Jinxiu: "Mayor Song, you don't know what, that's why Brother Lu will assert so." ”

Song Jinxiu said embarrassedly: "Secretary Liu, I am indeed not good at drinking, so please take care of me tonight." ”

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Mayor Song, don't regret it. ”

"Mayor Lu, I don't know how to drink, it's uncomfortable to get drunk, what is there to regret if I don't drink or not?" Song Jinxiu said.

"We'll see." Lu Chen said.

"Brother, don't bother, open the altar quickly." Liu Fenyong urged, obviously he was full of curiosity about this wine, and he couldn't wait.

Lu Chen opened one of the jars after a "hmm", and suddenly a rich wine smell containing a variety of fruity aromas rushed out of the jar and quickly diffused, smelling it for a while, and then he was intoxicated, and he closed his eyes and inhaled violently, as if he was afraid that the limited fragrance of the wine would be snatched away by others, including Song Jinxiu, the only woman on the scene.

After getting used to the aroma of wine, Liu Fenyong suddenly opened his eyes and hurriedly asked, "Brother, what kind of wine is this?" ”

"Monkey wine, authentic made by macaques in the mountains." Lu Chen said.

"Really? This, how is this possible?! Several men asked, their eyes full of incredulity.

"Absolutely." Lu Chen affirmed and didn't say much.

"I'll wait until I've tasted it." Liu Fenyong hurriedly said.

"Don't worry, Lao Liu, I'm better at drinking than you, so I'll taste it first." It was Luo Qiang, Minister of United Front Work, who spoke.

"Lao Luo, don't say it so high-soundingly, if you want to drink more first, just say it, no one says you are an alcoholic." Liu Fenyong sneered.

"Don't talk about me, you're not the same." Luo Qiang sneered, everyone then understood why they were so, and they dared to taste the legendary monkey wine first, and immediately laughed.

Lu Chen pressed his hands and asked everyone to be quiet, and then poured wine for them personally, and the person who poured the wine first wanted to taste it first, but was stopped by the person who had not yet poured the wine, saying that this first glass of wine had to wait for the host tonight to speak, and this was also said in a high-sounding manner, but in fact, he was afraid that he would drink less, but he also achieved his goal.

When it was his turn to pour wine for Song Jinxiu, Lu Chen suddenly stopped and said, "Mayor Song, since you are not good at drinking, I won't pour it for you, you can drink it." Then he walked around her to the next one.

Song Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly pulled Lu Chen and said, "Mayor Lu, although I am not good at drinking, it doesn't mean that I can't drink at all." ”

Everyone snickered, and Lu Chen sighed: "Mayor Song, I'm doing this for your good, you may not know it, this monkey wine has a very high alcohol content, and people who are not good at drinking will get drunk even if they drink a little." ”

"Mayor Lu, don't torture me on purpose, just let me taste a little. Okay, I said the wrong thing just now, so it's okay to apologize now. Song Jinxiu begged, and everyone laughed.

"Okay, I'll let you taste it." After speaking, Lu Chen poured her a glass.

After pouring wine for everyone, Lu Chen sat back in his seat and said, "Everyone, I won't propose this first cup, let's taste it separately, listen clearly, it's a taste, not swallow it in one bite like Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit." ”

As soon as Lu Chen's words fell, Liu Fenyong and Luo Qiang were the first to take a cup and drank a whole cup, not taking Lu Chen's words seriously at all, but they didn't taste anything at all, while the others closed their eyes slightly, and they looked very enjoyable, which made them regret it very much.

Lu Chen sighed: "Two, don't look at me like that, you have to wait for the others to finish drinking before you can start the second glass, after all, this monkey wine is limited, and everyone is hooked depending on the situation, so I have to make sure that everyone shares it equally." ”

Liu Fenyong pointed at Song Jinxiu and said, "Brother, Mayor Song is not good at drinking, she definitely can't drink the equal amount, so you can give me the share she can't drink." ”

Without waiting for Lu Chen to speak, Song Jinxiu shouted: "Secretary Liu, don't even think about it, I can take it away if I can't drink it for a while, I still have to keep this kind of wine and enjoy it slowly in the future." ”

Liu Fenyong said "uh", Luo Qiang's eyes rolled and said, "Mayor Song, this wine has to be drunk tonight, and you can't take it away." ”

"Who said that? Mayor Lu said that the wine should be divided equally, so I have the right to dispose of my share, and I will not interfere with the two of you. Song Jinxiu argued with reason.

Liu Fenyong and Luo Qiang looked at Lu Chen again for help, and Lu Chen said: "Mayor Song is right, she has every right to dispose of her share. ”

When Liu and Luo were depressed, Lu Chen suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I said that you two are really, why did you swallow it in one gulp, I reminded you both in advance to drink leisurely, but you are so anxious, could it be that the aroma of this monkey wine still has the urgency of monkeys affecting the two of you, but how can other people not?" ”

Lu Chen was teasing the monkey nature of the two of them, and the others laughed and ridiculed them, Liu Fenyong and Luo Qiang, who were only talking, were flushed with red faces, staring at each other with big eyes, but they didn't refute it silently, who made their previous behavior so monkey-like?

After more than ten seconds, Liu Fenyong's eyes lit up, and he raised his finger and pointed at everyone and said to Lu Chen: "Brother Lu, it's okay, everyone has finished drinking, it's time for a second cup." ”

After speaking, Liu Fenyong picked up the empty wine glass again and got up and walked to Lu Chen's side and said, "Brother, don't bother you to pour us wine yourself, I'll just come by myself." ”

Lu Chen said yes, and then reminded: "Be careful, don't spill it." ”

"Don't worry, I won't be careful if you say it, I'll be more painful than you if I spill it." Liu Fenyong said while pouring himself wine, and everyone couldn't help laughing again.

Seeing that Liu Fenyong was allowed, Luo Qiang was willing to wait for a long time, and he also followed his example and came to Lu Chen's side to wait for the second pour of wine, Song Jinxiu muttered: "It's still a monkey hurry." The others agreed, but Liu Fenyong and Luo Qiang didn't care and didn't say anything.
