Chapter 65: Men and Spirits
"What kind of wine do women eat, today is the first time our brothers meet, and I will have the opportunity to introduce you in the future. Sun Quan said, and put the wine and food on the table.
With the roasted vegetables and braised pork he brought, Xiao Longchen's melons and fruits were temporarily put away.
Xiao Longchen ran to the kitchen and brought two dishes and chopsticks, and poured wine into the fine porcelain bowl.
These things were all sent by the City Lord's Mansion, but all the things that could be used in life, the two people who did this had taken it into account, and it was obviously deliberately explained by the City Lord.
Xiao Longchen silently wrote down this kindness, thinking that he would have the opportunity to repay it in the future.
Sun Quan and Xiao Longchen, two colleagues with an age difference of nearly twenty years, raised a large bowl full of wine together, and with the crisp sound of porcelain bowls colliding, both of them raised the big bowl and poured it into their mouths.
Xiao Longchen thought that the drinks in this world were as sweet and sour as Baiguo wine, and when he poured a large mouthful of soju, he was choked with tears in an instant, and he bent down and coughed violently.
Seeing this, Sun Quan immediately laughed: "Brother Long, you won't tell Brother Fool that you have never drunk a bar before?"
Although Xiao Longchen is not very old, his self-esteem is also very strong, hearing Sun Quan laughing like this, he quickly snorted, pointed to the other two wine jars on the table and said: "I used to drink home-brewed fruit wine, and it didn't taste so spicy......
In order not to destroy the current harmonious atmosphere, Sun Quan first drank all the wine in his bowl, then picked up most of Xiao Longchen's bowl and splashed it outside the door, and then picked up one of the two jars of Hundred Fruit Wine, opened the mud seal on it, poured all the bowls for the two of them, picked up his bowl and said: "Since Brother Long is not used to drinking spirits, it is the same for drinking the fruit wine you brought." As long as the heart is reached, you can drink plain water to your heart's content!"
When Xiao Longchen heard this, his flushed face eased a little, and then he embarrassedly picked up his bowl of wine, and after touching Sun Quan again, he drank it all in one go.
Seeing this, Sun Quan only smiled slightly, and then also picked up the bowl and poured it into his mouth.
But when he just took a sip, his eyes suddenly widened, just like when Xiao Longchen tasted this wine for the first time, he was stunned by the ever-changing deliciousness.
He put the bowl down, looked at the pale red wine in the bowl, and asked in disbelief, "Brother Long, you said that this wine was brewed by your family?"
Xiao Longchen nodded weakly in recognition of it, and had already begun to think about the next words in his heart.
After Sun Quan received Xiao Longchen's affirmative reply, he said urgently with bright eyes: "Although this wine tastes a little bland to drink, the delicacy that seems to change every moment is the first time in my foolish brother's life. Your family has this kind of craftsmanship, and opening a shop in the city will definitely make money every day! When the time comes, not only will I have to visit every day, but I will also bring in the brothers in the camp to help one or two, I wonder how Brother Long feels about this proposal of the foolish brother?"
Xiao Longchen knew the deliciousness of Baiguo Wine, and he was afraid that this guy would make such a request, so when he heard this, tears suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he looked extremely sad and said: "Brother Sun doesn't know, the relatives in the younger brother's family have been killed by strange beasts a few days ago, so now the little brother is already alone, where can he let his family live the kind of comfortable life you said!"
Xiao Longchen's answer made Sun Quan feel a little unexpected, seeing that this young man, who was probably only about ten years old, had such a painful experience, his eyes suddenly turned red.
Sun Quan held the half bowl of wine, blushing and snorting for a long time without saying a word of comfort.
So he simply took Xiao Longchen's empty bowl again, poured him a full bowl, and then filled his own bowl again, and then raised the bowl with a solemn expression and said: "Foolish brother doesn't know that Brother Long's family has this experience, so there is something offended, and please forgive me, this bowl of wine will be regarded as a foolish brother to make amends to you!"
After Sun Quan finished speaking, he was not in the mood to taste the deliciousness of Baiguo Liquor anymore, so he raised his head and went down.
Xiao Longchen's rhetoric was made up, and he felt a little embarrassed when he saw that people were so sad, so he also picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all in one go.
"Brother Sun doesn't have to be polite, in the future, when you and my brothers deal with the beast tide, killing a few more strange beasts will be regarded as revenge for my family. Things from the past...... There is no need to mention it in the future!" Xiao Longchen wiped the fake tears from his cheeks and said quite boldly.
Sun Quan saw that this young man could have such a sudden personality at such a young age, and instantly felt that Xiao Longchen had a good temper with him, so he patted him on the shoulder silently.
Then the two seemed to suddenly get closer to each other, drinking wine and eating meat.
The first time he tasted the cooked food of the human world, Xiao Longchen was immediately conquered by the deliciousness of those dishes, and while drinking, he didn't forget to stuff those delicious foods into his mouth.
For food, Xiao Longchen has always had no immunity. Before the wine was high, his stomach was already slightly bulging.
When Sun Quan saw him like this, he thought that the young man was still depressed in his heart, so all kinds of words of consolation were also thrown out wildly by changing the law.
For this rugged man who hadn't read a book for a few days, it was far more difficult to persuade people than to fight for wine.
Xiao Longchen felt that if he ate any more, he would not be able to drink alcohol, so he put down his chopsticks and took the initiative to talk to Sun Quan: "Brother Sun, my younger brother has just joined the army, and there are still many things to ask you for, I don't know what things do we have to do in the absence of a war?"
Although Sun Quan felt that Baiguo Liquor was unusually delicious, he couldn't enjoy it in this atmosphere, so after drinking all one jar, he stopped Xiao Longchen from opening another jar, and poured all the spirits he brought in the bowls of the two of them, and then replied casually: "Those of us who are soldiers, the accusation is naturally to go into battle to kill the enemy, and in the idle period when there is no war, it is just to train the soldiers under our hands." A few years ago, he just experienced a beast tide, and now the army is relatively comfortable, and the foolish brother can go home and eat a delicious meal made by his daughter-in-law every morning after training his soldiers. ”
When Xiao Longchen heard him say this, he immediately felt a lot more at ease. As it stands, his choice is very wise.
Xiao Longchen picked up the bowl of soju and took a sip gently, and then he grinned at the spicy for a while.
Seeing this, Sun Quan patted Xiao Longchen on the shoulder again and said, "As a leader of a thousand households, you can't drink spirits, but you can't convince the public." Although your fruit wine is delicious, it doesn't match the boldness of the men in the army, Brother Long, you have to practice your drinking amount well!"
Xiao Longchen smiled yes, and then continued to ask: "Brother Sun, I have always heard that the scene was very terrifying when the beast tide arrived, and I have never seen what it was like, can you describe it to my little brother?"
Sun Quan took a big sip of the spirits, then restrained the smile on his face, and said with a slightly heavy expression: "Beast tide? If it's possible, it's better not to see it." Under the impact of those powerful beasts, we ordinary people can't play much role at all. If it weren't for those astral magicians, where would our human race have a peaceful day!"
Sun Quan's answer was expected by Xiao Longchen. He didn't think that these ordinary soldiers were of any use when resisting the beast tide, so he asked curiously: "Then what's the point of the army in this city? It's not just being used as cannon fodder, and it won't be of much use at all!"
Sun Quan glanced at him, then replied with a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth, "Although the Astral Sorcerers are powerful, their number is too scarce. If it weren't for the assistance of ordinary soldiers like us, where would we be able to keep the beasts out of the north of this town. ”
He also knew what Xiao Longchen was wondering about, so he poured another big sip of soju, and then continued: "Although the strength of ordinary soldiers is weak, with the help of those strong bows and crossbows, they can also pose a great threat to those non-advanced beasts. It is precisely with the assistance of these sharp weapons that we ordinary soldiers have the value of existence!"
