Why Are You Treating Me to Such an Expensive Wine?
Yi Zhonghai was delighted when he heard that Silly Zhu had invited him to his house for a drink.
Although Qin Huairu had asked him to help with the entire academy's meeting today, and in the end, he had ruined his reputation.
But now that Silly Zhu had taken the initiative to invite him for a drink, it meant that he still had a place in Silly Zhu's heart.
Thinking of this, Grandpa One's tightly knitted brows finally relaxed.
He happily replied to Silly Pillar.
"Alright! Silly Zhu, shall we go now?"
Grandpa One planned to take the opportunity to have a good talk with Silly Zhu.
When he was a little tipsy, he would probe Silly Zhu to see if he had any plans to find a partner.
He didn't want to say that he didn't want to find a partner when he had to matchmake Silly Zhu.
"Alright! I've prepared the wine! We've been waiting for you!"
Seeing that Old Man One agreed readily, Silly Zhu's nervous mood relaxed quite a bit.
He was now counting on Grandpa One's help to resolve the problem of Qin Huiru wanting to work in the kitchen.
However, before that, he had to apologize to First Master on behalf of Qin Huairu for what had happened at the assembly today.
Otherwise, if First Master was still angry and he brought up this matter directly, First Master would not agree to help.
Fortunately, he had specially gone to prepare the dishes earlier. He estimated that after such a period of time, Grandpa One should have cooled down, so he came over to invite Grandpa One for a drink.
"Ha! Good heavens, isn't this old yellow skin!”
Silly Zhu and Old Man One sighed when they saw the two bottles of wine on the table.
Although First Uncle was not a drunkard, as a level-eight fitter in the rolling mill, he had drunk a lot with the workshop director and other leaders.
He could tell at a glance what wine was on Silly Zhu's table.
Grandpa One picked up one of the bottles.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he looked at Silly Zhu with a smile that was not a smile.
"Silly Zhu, it's not that I want to say this, but this Jingzhi Baigan is a high-quality Daqu!”
"Although I have never bought this wine before, I still know that a bottle of this wine costs 1.1 yuan.”
"You invited me to drink such expensive wine today. Is there something else?”
In this era, most workers only earned 20 to 30 yuan a month.
One had to know that Zhang Xingguo had only spent 1.6 yuan on two catties of pork.
And two catties of pork was enough to make the passers-by stop and cast envious gazes.
Not to mention, Silly Zhu's two bottles of Old Yellow Skin added up to 2.20 yuan!
Most importantly, most people were not full from the start, and drinking could not fill their stomachs!
Therefore, ordinary people basically did not drink.
If they wanted to drink, they would buy loose wine that cost 30 cents and 50 cents per catty.
For someone like Silly Zhu to spend 2.20 yuan on two bottles of wine was an extremely extravagant thing!
It was inevitable that First Master would tease Silly Zhu and ask him if he had ulterior motives.
Silly Zhu was stunned when he heard the question.
Grandpa One's joke hit the nail on the head.
He had originally planned to save these two bottles of wine for the new year.
However, he had to apologize to First Master on Qin Huairu's behalf today.
Naturally, he had to show his sincerity!
However, Silly Zhu wasn't a fool.
He wouldn't be so easily tricked by First Master into revealing his true feelings.
The reason why he invited First Uncle over for a drink was to wait until First Uncle was slightly tipsy before mentioning Qin Huiru.
Silly Zhu laughed loudly with Grandpa One.
“嗐! Master Yi, look at what you're saying! How much did I spend?"
"You usually take care of me so much, and you've helped me so much recently.”
"So what if I treat you to a cup of yellow skin today?”
Speaking of this, Silly Pillar also started joking with Grandpa One.
"According to what you said just now, if I buy a bottle of Maotai to show my respect to you during the new year.”
"Then don't you suspect that I'm thinking about your family property?”
Hearing Silly Pillar's free and easy answer, Grandpa One could not help but feel a little touched.
He was counting on Silly Pillar to help him in his old age, and it was indeed not wrong!
Thinking of this, First Uncle looked at Silly Pillar with a myriad of emotions.
"Silly Zhu, with our relationship, you are considered half my son.”
"When the time comes, I'll close my eyes and kick my legs. I won't know anything.”
"I feel more at ease leaving that little bit of property to you to manage.”
Grandpa One's words could be said to be very straightforward.
He was just short of directly telling Silly Zhu to take care of him in his old age.
At this moment, Silly Pillar was smiling foolishly as he waved his hand.
"Master Yi, we haven't even drunk yet. Why are you talking drunk?”
"Your body is still so strong now. Won't you live a long life?”
Silly Zhu said as he pulled Old Man One to sit down.
He first poured wine into the glass in front of First Uncle.
Then, he poured himself a glass and toasted Grandpa One.
"Master Yi, you're the elder. I, a junior, will toast you first!”
After saying that, Silly Pillar raised his cup and drank all the wine in it!
"Good! Good! Good!"
See silly column so understand etiquette, a big uncle even said three good.
Then, he took a sip of wine in relief and sighed in his heart.
In the end, the bottled wine was still better!
This taste is indeed much richer than the loose wine that my colleagues treated me to!
"Hah!"
Silly Zhu rarely drank alcohol, even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but sigh.
Hence, Shazhu put down the cup, poured the wine and picked up the chopsticks.
He picked up a piece of cucumber and put it in his mouth to chew to ease the alcohol.
After pouring another cup of wine, Silly Zhu started to entertain Grandpa One.
"Come! Master Yi, we have nothing to do tonight. Eat slowly and drink slowly!”
On the table were three fried eggs, a plate of fried peanuts, and a plate of cucumber.
This was a dish that Shazhu used to serve with wine, it could be said to be sumptuous!
If Second Uncle and Third Uncle were to see this scene, they would definitely scold him for being extravagant and wasteful!
One had to know that Second Uncle Liu Haizhong usually only ate fried eggs with wine when he drank.
If his other two sons dared to mention eating fried eggs, they would definitely be scolded!
Third Uncle Yan Bugui's family would only buy snacks like peanuts during the New Year.
Moreover, Third Uncle had to count them one by one and distribute them equally according to the number of people in the family!
How could he be like Silly Pillar inviting Grandpa One, directly serving a plate up?
After three rounds of wine, Silly Pillar saw that Grandpa Yi's face was red and he was already a little drunk.
He knew that First Uncle was almost done drinking.
Hence, Silly Zhu looked at First Master apologetically and said guiltily,"
"Master Yi, it's actually my fault that today's assembly ended up like that!”
"This matter has affected you so much. I have to apologize to you here.”
