Manti had no choice but to pour a new glass of wine and bring it to Dao Tuo to excuse himself:

"General, please drink this bar, you don't remember the villain."

Manti spoke sincerely, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, without the arrogant demeanor of the past. Dalin also felt moved when he watched from the sidelines. Now it's time for Dao Tuo to accept Manti's apology, not to mention that there are Manti's good sisters on the side! Dowdor still took the money:

"I can't afford such a high wine."

Dao Tuo only glanced at the wine in Manti's hand, his throat squirmed, and he turned his head and threw this sentence. What does that mean? Manti tugged in his heart.

"Too high?"

Da Lin and Yuan Yuan also felt that it was difficult to understand, could this Dao Tuo be unwilling to accept Manti's apology, and deliberately found an excuse to refuse to drink the bar, so why did he come to the banquet?

"Daotuo, don't embarrass my good sister, you see her holding wine, her hands are sore!"

Yuanyuan said good things again. Dalin looked anxious, and also echoed:

"General, ours is not, you bear with me, what do you want, we will do it."

Hearing this, Dao Tuo narrowed his eyes and smiled, shook his big head, and glanced at Manti again.

"What kind of general's shelf, think I don't know what you mean?"

Manti took a sip in her heart, and she understood what Dao Tuo meant. This short man just can't see that he is tall, and the woman is holding a wine glass next to the man, and the wine glass is higher than the man's mouth, and he feels uncomfortable.

"The heart and eyes are so small, and the tip of the needle is the same."

Manti looked down on Dao Tuo a little. But now there is no way, who asked Dalin to beg him to do business, he can't offend this "King of Nanyang".

"General, Manti respects you again."

Manti said softly, slowly bent her knees and squatted down, just like a little daughter-in-law in feudal times, respectfully serving tea to the old man.

Da Lin and Yuan Yuan suddenly realized when they saw Manti's action dish, and it turned out that Dao Tuo said, "The wine is too high, that's what it means!" Yuan Yuan is ashamed that she has followed Daotuo for so many years, and she has not yet understood Daotuo's mind, no wonder she had so many good friends in the past.

"It's going to come out like this."

Dalin looked at Dao Tuo with disdain, he really wanted to pull Manti away, thinking that he had worked so hard to come to Nanyang to open up the market, he couldn't just go back in disgrace, and forced himself to endure it, and he couldn't have a seizure.

Dao Tuo drank Manti's wine shamelessly, smacking his lips with a satisfied expression.

This wine tastes good, the three of them are waiting for my response, they all look at my face, I want to drink it slowly, drink it comfortably.

"Come, General, my little brother will also give you a drink."

Dalin also poured a glass of wine to salute Daotuo, but Daotuo waved his hand and refused.

"Don't drink anymore, don't drink anymore, eat vegetables first eat vegetables first, your stomach is empty, and it's uncomfortable to drink more."

What a bullshit general, give a little sunshine and it will be brilliant. Toast you and say that if you don't drink it, you won't drink it.

Dalin was so embarrassed that he put down his glass and called the waiter to serve the food.

The dishes were quite rich, and Manti listened to Yuanyuan's suggestion, and these dishes were all according to Dao Tuo's preferences. Yuanyuan peeled a shrimp for Dao Tuo for a while, a vegetable for a while, wiped his mouth for a while, and poured wine for him for a while.

"He seems to have just come to eat."

When Dalin mentioned his grand career in Nanyang to Dao Tuo several times, intentionally or unintentionally, Dao Tuo always refused on the grounds that "he did not talk about things outside the dinner table". Dalin couldn't help but wonder.

Manti was also disgusted with this "big-headed shrimp", and couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

After the three of them ate this meal carelessly, they said goodbye.

Dalin sighed, lamenting that he had bet on the wrong treasure, and this Dao Tuo was unreliable.

"I ordered a table of dishes and fed them all to the pigs."

"Feed the pigs? Feeding the pig wine was not fed in vain, and when the New Year came, it was slaughtered and eaten for meat. ”

"Hehehehe-hehe-"

Dalin couldn't cry or laugh.

The car arrived at a street-side sugar water shop, which was driven by overseas Chinese. Manti saw it and wanted to try it.

"Look at Chengshan, that sugar water shop is not opened by Chinese! Let's try it? ”

"Okay!"

Manti happily opened the car door and walked to the sweet water shop. I've been in Nanyang these days, and I either drink boiled white water, lemonade, or coconut water, and it seems that I haven't drunk sugar water for a long time. Manti misses Shanghai a little.

There are many overseas Chinese who have fled here in Nanyang, and they have settled down here, started old business, opened hotels, made snack bars, and sewed clothes...... They are all small businesses that can be seen everywhere in the country.

"How do you sell this sugar water?"

"Fifty guilders, ma'am."

It was a middle-aged woman who answered. As soon as she saw the visitor, she recognized it as a domestic compatriot and smiled.

The faces of the Chinese people have not changed at all, and the voices of the Chinese people have not changed at all. Manti also replied to her with a smile, so kind! It is naturally a happy event to meet a fellow countryman in a foreign country.

"Two drinks."

Manti opened the zipper of the small bag and was about to pay for it, but Dalin stopped her, paid for it himself, and took two glasses of brown sugar water to Manti.

"Well, it's so sweet! Or the taste of the country. ”

Manti praised it.

"Not bad! - Boss, are there many of you Chinese compatriots? ”

"Quite a bit, almost all of this street, we came here many years ago, this sugar water shop has been open for more than ten years, and it has been passed down from my mother's generation."

Dalin nodded and took another sip of sugar water.

This street is one of the busiest streets in the city. On both sides of the street are small shops, with banners with their names written on them, and some of the goods in the shops extend into the street, taking up a small part of the sidewalk.

This shop is mainly engaged in department store sundries, what pots and pans, what oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, what sheets and bedding, crowded and noisy piled up all over the small storefront. At the door, there was a row of shoe cabinets, selling sandals and slippers, and on the other hand, a small cloak was erected, and a red and white vertical striped curtain hung down, and dozens of jars of sugar water were open underneath, colorful, like children's paints.

"What kind of water is this?"

Manti asked the shopkeeper as he pointed to a small yellow glass bottle.

"That's orange juice."

"Oh!"

"Where's this?"

Manti asked again, pointing to a black one.

"That's black tea, it's good for constipation."

"Oh!"

Manti let out another "Oh! ”

"Brother, sister-in-law, you are here!"

Xiao Lin appeared out of nowhere, and suddenly appeared in front of them like a ghost.

"Horrible, where are you from?"

Manti was intently looking at the sugar water, when he was suddenly startled by such a shout, and felt a rapid beat in his heart.

"I'm scared my sister-in-law, Xiaolin is sorry."

"Smack!"

Dalin patted his younger brother on the shoulder affectionately, and asked him with a smile:

"Out of nowhere, you're coming quietly."

"I just arrived a few days ago, and today I came to the Chinese area to go around, and as soon as I turned around, I transferred to my eldest brother and sister-in-law. What, are you drinking sugar water? ”

"No, why don't you have a drink?"

Da Lin smiled and picked up a glass of red sugar water and gave it to Xiao Lin.

"Wow, what is this, it looks scary!"

"That's watermelon syrup, cool and thirst-quenching."

The shopkeeper hurriedly explained.

Xiao Lin took a sip and said to Da Lin:

"Brother, let's find a place to sit and talk?"

Dalin looked at Manti and said to her:

"You go back to the hotel first, I won't send you."

Manti smiled and said "yes", put down the cup and left first.

Xiao Lin beckoned Da Lin to take his car away, the glass of sugar water in his hand had not been drunk, and he wanted to take it away to drink, and the proprietress behind him shouted:

"You can't take the cup away."

"What a hassle!"

Xiao Lin had no choice but to tilt his neck and dry the bottle of sugar water and put it back on the board.

The brothers left in a car. It wasn't until the evening that Dalin returned to the hotel.

"Wow, it's hot, the sun hasn't gone down yet."

As soon as he entered the room, Dalin shouted. Mandy hurriedly took off his hat and coat for him, and handed him a towel soaked in cold water.

A strange smell diffused, and Manti frowned his nose, covered his nose and asked Dalin:

"What does this smell like, what did you eat at night?"

Dalin sighed in his palm, and bounced away in disgust.

"Xiao Lin, he took me to drink snake blood wine, and it smelled of blood."

"You can drink that stuff too."

"When I came to the field, of course I had to dare to try."

"Hey, what is your brother going to do in Nanyang?"

"Hey, look at what I'm doing, like I'm doing some secret."

Dalin took a sip of water, rinsed his mouth, and said this after spitting it out. It was like announcing to Xiao Lin that there was no secret in this sentence, and he didn't have to follow him all the way to the South Seas. How could there be such a coincidence on the street today, he must have been following him all the way.

"He's got that!"

Manti helped Dalin pack up his coat, and after removing the dust from it, he looked at Dalin incredulously. Are they brothers, and their brothers are still hiding so guarded?

"He had it when he was very young, and he didn't give birth to it now."

"So? Tell me about it. ”

Women are gossip. Da Lin glanced at Manti unhappily, and she didn't want to inquire more about the grievances between their brothers. Manti was so angry that he threw the coat in his hand over, crossed his hands and said:

"Do I need to be nosy? It's not what you said, and you won't say it halfway through, and it's tempting, and I'm too lazy to listen if you don't say it. ”

"Okay, I'm wrong, don't be angry!"

Dalin hurriedly came over and hugged Manti to coax her, his expression immediately became serious again, and he sighed and said:

"My younger brother, not someone else's younger brother, is my Lin Chengshan's younger brother. What's different about him, that is, he loves to rob me of everything. ”

"Oh?"

Manti turned her head to look at him. Dalin let go of his hand, lit a cigarette, sat down on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs and said:

"When I was a child, a relative sent me two pieces of clothing, and after he accidentally scratched them, he begged my mother to wear them, and then refused to return them to me. I asked him to borrow something to use, and a needle to be counted clearly. ”

"Children are slippery, you naturally have to let go of your brother as an elder brother."

Manti said. Dalin took a puff of smoke and continued......
