Chapter 244 Strong Liquor

After the three of them sat down, Zhu Qingqing said with a smile: "Oh my! Today I just wanted to eat hot pot on a whim, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that you guys just happened to come over! In that case, let's try the hot pot together to see if it can be sold for money, and whether anyone likes this flavor. Wait a moment, I'll bring the clear soup base over right now, and you can taste it together." Before she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the next table,

At this moment, Li Quan, who had been observing silently from the side, suddenly had his eyes light up. He felt that he had finally found a good opportunity to show off his skills. So, he quickly stood up and said, "Master Zhu, don't move. Let me do it, let me do it."

Yang Jiu also stood up.

"Yes, yes, Master Zhu, let us do it."

Zhu Qingqing did not refuse.

Yang Jiu carried the pot, while Li Quan moved the slightly heavy charcoal stove. The two of them worked in perfect harmony and gently placed it on the large table.

Zhu Qingqing: "I've eaten both of these soup bases before, I hope you don't mind."

Yang Wu, Yang Jiu, and Li Quan all shook their heads almost simultaneously: "I don't mind, I don't mind."

Just kidding, it’s good enough to have something to eat, who dares to complain?

Father Zhu said, "Actually, hot pot is only delicious after eating it for a while. Now is the perfect time to come. The more you eat, the more delicious it becomes."

Yang Jiu rubbed his hands: "Then we came at the perfect time."

Father Zhu: "Qingqing, go pour two more pots of wine. And bring out any dishes you have."

Wang Xiangdong stood up and said, "I'll go help."

Zhu Qingqing immediately said: "No, no, you sit down and drink with Brother Yang Wu and the others, and supervise my dad so that he doesn't drink too much."

Wang Xiangdong immediately sat down obediently.

Mother Zhu said, "You men can eat your food. Yingying and I are helping you in the kitchen."

With that, Sanniang's mother went to the kitchen.

Zhu Qingqing brought two bottles of good wine and some meat from home, and asked Zhu Yingying to help pour the wine into the wine jug and change the packaging. She was busy cutting the meat, and Zhu's mother helped wash the vegetables.

Zhu Yingying picked up an exquisite wine jug in each hand, walked out of the door briskly, with a warm smile on her face, and shouted loudly: "Brother Yang Wu, today is your lucky day! Come and taste the fine wine we brought back from the faraway West. I guarantee it is very different from the common wine you have here!" As she spoke, she gently placed the wine jug on the table.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu quickly stood up and responded with a smile on his face, "Haha, that's really thanks to you all. It's our honor to have the opportunity to taste this fine wine from afar!"

At this moment, Yang Jiu, who was standing by, couldn't contain his curiosity. He stood up and walked to the table impatiently, rubbing his hands excitedly and saying, "I've heard Master Yu say that your wine is strong and powerful! I must try it today and see what kind of strong taste it has!" As he spoke, he reached out to take the wine pot from Zhu Yingying's hand, muttering, "I'll do it, I'll do it. How dare I trouble you, young lady, to do this kind of thing?"

Seeing how anxious he was, Zhu Yingying couldn't help but chuckle. She then handed the wine jug to Yang Jiu and turned to walk towards the kitchen. She smiled back as she walked and said, "Then please pour the wine yourselves. I'll go to the kitchen to help."

Before long, Yang Jiu skillfully filled everyone's glass. The white wine rippled slightly in the glass, emitting a rich and unique aroma that instantly filled the entire backyard.

Everyone leaned over to their glasses, took a deep breath, and carefully savored the unique aroma of the wine. The aroma was as refreshing as a breeze blowing through flowers, making them feel relaxed and happy.

Seeing this, Yang Wu smiled and waved to Yang Jiu and Li Quan, signaling them to stand. Then, he raised his wine glass and said loudly, "Come, come, since we have such fine wine and delicious food, why not offer a toast to Doctor Zhu to thank him for his hospitality today!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhu, who was sitting at the head of the table, quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Oh, we're all friends. There's no need to be so polite. Why are we going through so many formalities? We're all having hotpot to relax and unwind! Come on, everyone, sit down and enjoy the food and wine! That's the real thing!"

"Then let's drink first to show our respect!" As the words fell, the three men picked up the wine glasses without hesitation, raised their heads and drank the wine in the glasses.

However, the moment they put down their glasses, they couldn't help but sway, almost knocking their butts off their seats. What on earth was going on? It turned out that the wine was too strong!

You know, compared to this glass of wine, the wine they drank in the past was as bland as water. At this moment, the strong wine entered their throats, like a ball of fire burning straight down, making their throats, esophagus, and even stomachs feel a burning stimulation.

Wang Xiangdong and Yu Bo, watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but laugh. They knew full well that this was Erguotou, with a strength of over 50% alcohol. How could it possibly compare to the more common low-alcohol rice wines in the area? This high-proof liquor was certainly quite potent for those not accustomed to it.
