Chapter 21: On the War of Eating and Drinking

After everyone tasted the dishes for a while, in order to appease Mrs. Hao and have more dealings with the Hao family in the future, Zhang Xueru said to Mrs. Hao with an obvious compliment:

"Sister Liu, your craftsmanship is so good, the dishes you cook are higher than those of star-rated hotels!"

"Oh, don't dare, let you see and laugh. Come, since you think it's delicious, let's eat more. Hey, Liping, you need to eat more. ”

Mrs. Hao saw that Liping had been blushing and didn't dare to look up, and she didn't eat much, so she sandwiched a piece of braised pork and put it in Liping's bowl, and looked at her affectionately.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Liping hurriedly nodded her head and thanked Mrs. Hao.

"Uncle Zhang, I have something I want to tell you, but- I don't know if to say it?"

After Hao Min waited for everyone to eat for a while, he wanted to make trouble again, so he looked at Zhang Xueru inquiringly.

"Hao Min, if you have something to say, just say it. This is in your house, what else should not be said? ”

Zhang Xueru replied.

"Look, at the beginning, Dream and I toasted your old man together. Just now, I gave you another glass. Now, shouldn't I dream of honoring you? ”

As he spoke, Hao Min glanced at Mengdu.

"Oh, yes, Uncle Zhang, Liping is a girl, she doesn't drink, we can't force it; She doesn't drink drinks to keep her figure, and we can't force it. Now, we can only toast to your old man. Hao Min is right, he toasted you alone just now, and now, it should be up to me to toast you alone! ”

Mengdu admired Liping's crimson face and said words of understanding for Liping, and raised his glass to Zhang Xueru.

"Okay, thank you, Mengdu, come, let's have a drink."

Zhang Xueru saw the mayor's son toasting to him, and he had a close relationship with him, and he also wanted to toast with him, but he was really worried about drinking too much and losing his temper, so he quickly got up and wanted to be perfunctory.

"No, no, Uncle Zhang, you are an elder, why can you only take a sip? Toast is a toast! Otherwise, it's my insincerity towards you. ”

Yumedo immediately shook his head in disapproval.

"No, Mengdu, didn't you just say that? I had a limited amount of wine, and I couldn't drink more after that glass of wine with Hao Min. ”

Zhang Xueru still didn't dare to accept Mengdu's toast.

"Otherwise,"

Probably to show respect for her father in front of Liping, Mengdu turned to Hao Min and said,

"Hao Min, you tell me a joke about drinking, if everyone laughs after finishing speaking, Uncle Zhang will dry the wine in the cup; If you don't laugh at the joke you say, you can kill this glass of wine for Uncle Zhang! Uncle Zhang, do you think this will work? ”

"Oh, this-okay, right?"

Zhang Xueru didn't know what kind of joke Hao Min would say, and he didn't know if he would laugh after listening to the joke, so he was noncommittal and vague.

"Okay, since the dream has given the supreme instructions, then I'll tell you a joke about drinking."

Hao Min closed his eyes, thought for a moment, cleared his throat lightly, and said matter-of-factly:

"Now, I'll read Uncle Zhang a paragraph of 'On Eating and Drinking.'"

"Oh, no! Hao Min, what did you just say? 'On the war of eating and drinking'? It should be "On Protracted War", right? The persistence of 'holding', the long-term 'long', that is a famous article during the Anti-Japanese War. ”

Zhang Xueru thought that Hao Min was wrong, and immediately corrected him.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm not talking about 'On Protracted War', it's really 'On Eating and Drinking War'! The 'eating' of eating, the 'drinking' of drinking. Now, aren't we eating wine? ”

Hao Min nodded at Zhang Xueru playfully.

"Oh, yes, we're eating."

Zhang Xueru didn't know what was going on, and nodded in a daze.

"Listen, 'On the War of Eating and Drinking,'"

Hao Min cleared his throat again and recited seriously:

"Wine, like water in a bottle, haunted in the stomach, talking and talking, walking and flashing legs, getting up in the middle of the night to find water, getting up in the morning to regret it, holding a wine glass at noon, my heart is still very beautiful!"

"Hahahaha! Xiao Hao, you really know how to tell jokes. ”

As soon as Hao Min's words fell, Zhang Xueru was amused by him.

"Okay, Yummato, how's it going? Uncle Zhang is already laughing, it's time for him to toast, right? ”

Seizing the opportunity, Hao Min immediately signaled to Mengdu and asked him to persuade Zhang Xueru to toast.

"Yes, Uncle Zhang, we just said okay, after Hao Min said the joke, if everyone laughs, you will kill this glass of wine. If everyone isn't laughing, Hao Min will toast for you. Now everyone is laughing, Uncle Zhang, can you have a toast? ”

Dream lost no time in persuading Zhang Xueru to drink, and while persuading him to drink, he took the initiative to raise his wine glass and said:

"Uncle Zhang, this glass of wine is my only respect for you, I will do it first." As he spoke, he looked up and dried his glass.

"Oh, good, good! , I'll! ”

Zhang Xueru had never seen such a battle in the past, and he was amused by the two young men for a while, and couldn't help but raise his glass and follow along.

"Look, Uncle Zhang is really massive!"

Hao Min said, picking up the wine bottle again to refill the wine for the three of them.

"Okay, okay, you can't fill it up. Drink it any more, and I'll be pouring it! ”

Zhang Xueru made a gesture to block Hao Min from adding wine, and at the same time let Hao Min fill his cup.

At this moment, perhaps because of a few glasses in a row, Zhang Xueru's drinking interest has been mobilized, and his words and deeds have shown the form of greedy for wine.

"Uncle Zhang, actually, I haven't finished my joke just now!"

After Hao Min refilled the three of them, he glanced at Mengdu, as if asking for his opinion.

Seeing the dream, he nodded at him, and then said to Zhang Xueru:

"That's it, Uncle Zhang, I'll finish the rest of the paragraph, if everyone doesn't laugh, I'll toast three times in a row! If everyone laughs, you and Dream will each have a toast! Good no good? ”

"Okay, I agree!"

Mengdu immediately raised his hand in approval, and looked at Zhang Xueru and said:

"Uncle Zhang, what do you see? We'll let him talk, and if everyone can't stop laughing, he'll have to toast three times in a row! Even if we laugh, we just need to have a toast. It's a profit-free deal! ”

"That's β€”β€”?"

Zhang Xueru felt that this seemed unfair to Hao Min, so he looked at Mrs. Hao and asked:

"Sister Liu, do you see, is this okay?"

"Zhang Shifu, you men are drinking, you can just say okay!"

Mrs. Hao knew her son, and she was also full of confidence in his ability to tell him jokes, so she replied to Zhang Xueru with a smile.

"Okay, then please Hao Min continue."

Zhang Xueru saw that Mrs. Hao agreed, so he readily agreed.

"Okay, then I'll say it!"

Hao Min smirked, and then said:

"Drinking alcohol is a special war without gunpowder in peacetime, and its cost is high, the casualties are large, and the scene is as tragic as a nuclear war. They often kill a thousand enemies, injure themselves by eight hundred, or vice versa, or die together. This kind of war is mainly waged between relatives and friends, and it is to directly attack the liver, kidneys, stomach and intestines of the other side in the midst of songs and laughter.

During the wine war, the two sides of the war were guided by the principle of 'deep feelings, stuffy mouthfuls, iron feelings, and vomiting blood after drinking'. With the breakthrough point of 'rather let the stomach and intestines pierce a hole than let the feelings crack', with the focus of 'you don't drink, I don't drink, our feelings will slip', and 'you don't get drunk, I don't get drunk, no one sleeps in the business hotel' as the support point, we take the strong public opinion offensive such as 'wine style is like style, wine is like character, and alcohol is like guts' to paralyze the central nervous system, destroy the will to resist, eliminate fear, and make the toaster see death as home. The deeper the feelings, the more serious the injury, even sacrifice.

This kind of war, which originated in ancient times and flourishes today, is the most humane form of warfare in ancient and modern China and abroad. It's often 'repeated defeats, repeated defeats', and they never get tired of it.

When drinking the first round of wine, speak softly; When drinking the second round of wine, he speaks boldly; When drinking the third round of wine, he babbles nonsense; After drinking the fourth round of wine, there is no word! Ahβ€”β€”!h ”

After finishing speaking, Hao Min closed his eyes, fell down on the chair, leaned his head on the back of the chair, and made the appearance of being drunk and unconscious.

"Haha, haha! Could it be that Hao Min also worked as a TV actor? ”

Zhang Xueru listened to Hao Min's recitation, and when he leaned into the chair, he was vivid, remembering that he said that he was an amateur actor earlier, so he laughed and asked.

"Good! Mengdu, Uncle Zhang smiled! It's time for you two to toast! ”

Hao Min immediately jumped up from his chair and seized the opportunity to ask Mengdu to drink with Zhang Xueru.

"Then β€”β€”, Uncle Zhang, you did laugh just now. But I also laughed, let's talk count, let's have a drink together? ”

Mengdu asked Zhang Xueru in a very respectful tone.

"Okay, let's have a drink!"

Zhang Xueru has opened his eyes and opened his eyes today.

When he saw that the children of the two cadres respected him so much, he began to fantasize in his heart that Liping might become the daughter-in-law of the mayor's family!

Thinking of this, his heart became happier and happier, and he no longer thought about the problem of how much wine he was out of, and raised his glass and took a sip.

Mengdu and Hao Min also raised their respective wine glasses, and their mouths were very dry.

"Uncle Zhang, it's a pleasure to drink with you, you must drink it today and get drunk!"

Hao Min immediately refilled the glasses of the three of them.

"Hao Min, I really didn't expect that in your city, there would be so many people talking about drinking. I won't tell you, Uncle Zhang has never heard of the joke he just said! ”

Zhang Xueru drank violently, and began to take the initiative to talk to Hao Min while the strength of the wine was rising.

"Hey, we drink a lot!"

Hao Min listened to Zhang Xueru boasting about what he had just said, and immediately had an urge to show off, he glanced at the whole table, stared at Zhang Xueru again, and said,

"Uncle Zhang, let me tell you a new joke that has become popular in the provincial capital recently. Here's what the new paragraph says, listen up:

Adverse reactions after drinking: Automatically turn on the mode of bragging and foul language. Occasionally, the speech is reversed: for example, before drinking, I was Chinese; After drinking, the Chinese are me. The joke is over, Uncle Zhang, do you say it's a little interesting? ”

After finishing the joke, Hao Min looked at Zhang Xueru proudly, and during this time, he also deliberately glanced at Zhang Liping.

"Oops, that's great! This paragraph is vividly woven and seamless. It can be said that the person who made up the joke is simply a genius of drinking! ”

Zhang Xueru laughed when he heard this, and wanted to go crazy with the strength of the wine.

"Come, Uncle Zhang, Mengjing and I will toast you again!"

Seeing this, Hao Min immediately threw a look at Mengdu, and raised his wine glass to salute Zhang Xueru.

"Ah, thank you, thank you!"

Zhang Xueru picked up the wine glass, and when he raised his head, his mouth was dry.

"Dad, don't drink it. This will - you'll get drunk! ”

Liping saw that her father's eyes were red, and her tongue was curled when she spoke. She was worried that her father would "broadcast live", so she timidly persuaded her.

"Uh, Liping, you don't know,"

Hao Min immediately poured wine for the three of them, and then waved his hand to Liping and said:

"For those who drink alcohol, there is a saying: the wine should be slightly drunk, and the flowers should be half-opened. If you don't get drunk once in life, you will regret it for life; If you are often drunk in life, you will hate it for life! We will drink it today for seven or eight minutes, and we will neither regret it for the rest of our lives, nor will we hate it for the rest of our lives. Liping, you, just let me, us, be happy, and drink with Uncle Zhang. ”

At this time, Hao Min's speech was also a little curled.

"yes, today, let's get drunk for seven or eight minutes. Liping, come, I'll toast you, you replace the wine with a drink, okay? ”

Mengdu followed Hao Min's words, raised his wine glass high, and came to Liping with a sincere attitude.

"Yes, Mengdu should pay tribute to the women's diving champion! Liping, you don't know wow, that night, when we watched your diving final at the Provincial Gymnasium, we didn't blink our eyes! ”

Hao Min lost no time in helping Mengdu.

Liping saw that the two young men suddenly turned the spearhead to herself, and her heart was beating wildly, and a standard crescent-shaped face suddenly turned red into a rooster comb!

To be honest, participating in an occasion like today, it is the first time in her life that she is embarrassed to deal with a strange man?

Seeing that Mengdu was staring at herself with blank eyes, Liping hurriedly picked up the coconut water on the table, took a big sip of it, and said shyly:

"I've had a lot of drinks, and I can't drink anymore."

After Liping finished speaking, she lowered her head, picked up chopsticks to pick up vegetables and eat vegetables, and no longer dared to talk to Mengdu and Hao Min.

"Hey, Liping, you haven't toasted yet, why did you eat the food? No, no, this doesn't meet the rules of the wine table! ”

Hao Min thought about coaxing again next to him.

"Forget it, Hao Min, Liping is not like us, if she wants to maintain her figure, let her feel free."

At this time, Mengdu put on the posture of a flower messenger again, persuaded Hao Min empathetically, and then turned to Zhang Xueru and continued to toast.

Talking, laughing, eating, chatting, this meal lasted for more than two hours, and it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

Recently, because Li Gang did not receive a notice of employment from the Provincial Sports Commission, Liping has been irritable and has not rested well for several days. Now that there is so much time at the dinner table, she feels a little tired and her eyelids are getting heavier.

At this time, she saw that Mengdu, Hao Min and Zhang Xueru had almost finished drinking two bottles of "Moutai", so she mustered up the courage to persuade her father again:

"Dad, we should report to the Provincial Sports Commission, and we have to get off work when we go late!"

"yes, it's not early,"

Mrs. Hao was probably also worried that someone would get drunk, so she persuaded along with Liping's words:

"Hao Min, Miss Zhang and Uncle Zhang have something to do in the afternoon, can you drink it another day?"

"Okay, since Aunt Hao persuaded us not to drink it, let's drink it here today."

At this moment, Mengdu is still relatively awake in his heart.

In order to win Liping's favor and favor, after listening to Liping's request to persuade his father, he took the initiative to raise a glass and propose:

"Well, I suggest you drink another round table of wine, and today's lunch will be over. Aunt Hao, Liping, Uncle Zhang, Hao Min and I drained the wine in the wine glass, and you drained the drink in the cup! Good no good? ”

"Okay, everyone's door, full of red, cheers!"

Hao Min immediately raised his glass in response.

"Okay, Liu, eldest sister, come, Liping, let's cheer together!"

Zhang Xueru opened his drunken and misty eyes, and raised his wine glass tremblingly with his right hand.

So, the five people at the table raised their glasses at the same time, and after touching the glasses, everyone toasted their glasses and drink glasses at the same time.

After eating, Hao Min and Meng both diligently accompanied the Zhang family's father and daughter out of Hao's house.

Coming to the door, Mengdu asked Liping's father and daughter to get into his "Ao" car parked in the yard, saying that he would send their father and daughter to the Provincial Sports Commission.

Liping asked shyly and worriedly:

"Mengdu, you, if you drink alcohol, you will be seized by the traffic police."

"Hehe, Liping, you can put 10,000 hearts! Mengdu is very familiar with the traffic police in the city, drinking this little wine and driving, for him, it is a little KS! Come on, please get in the car. ”

Hao Min respectfully opened Ao's car door and carefully invited Liping's father and daughter to get into the car.

After the Zhang family's father and daughter got into the car, Mengdu sat in the driver's seat, Hao Min sat in the passenger seat, and the two drove Zhang Xueru's father and daughter to the Provincial Sports Commission.

After the father and daughter of the Zhang family got off in front of the office building of the Sports Commission, Zhang Xueru said words of thanks to Mengdu and Hao Minlian no less than ten times, and then walked with some staggering steps and accompanied Liping to the office building.

After looking at the father and daughter of the Zhang family walking into the office building, Hao Min said to Mengdu proudly:

"Mengdu, you are really fateful, blessed, and created! Well, I think it's a chicken in a cage - nine times out of ten! ”

"No, you can't be too happy yet!"

Mengdu's eyes followed Zhang Liping's figure until the Zhang family's father and daughter entered the stairs before he replied to Hao Min:

"Look at Liping's performance when eating, I'm afraid I won't be able to invite her in the future!"

"Hey, Mengdu, don't worry! I haven't heard of it, 'a gentleman is a man of righteousness, and a villain is of profit'. I think that old man Zhang Wow, he is a typical 'Yu Yuli' villain, as long as it is good for him, hmph, you look good. ”

Hao Min snapped his fingers as he spoke, and smiled confidently.

"Listen to you, are we going to ask Dolly Ping and her dad to give some gifts?"

Dream asked.

"No, no,"

Hao Min shook his head again and again, and then attached himself to Mengdu's ear, muttering like this, so happy that Mengdu's eyebrows danced, and he praised it again and again.

"Still,"

Hao Min immediately warned Mengdu:

"In this matter, I will be the director, you will be the actor, and when the time comes, you may have to condescend."

"Ahem, what kind of condescension or not, as long as you can marry Zhang Liping, you can tell me to do anything!"

Mengdu happily raised two palms to Hao Min, Hao Min understood, and also stretched out his hands high, and high-fived each other happily with Mengdu.
