C350 Wine Competition
Guxing smiled apologetically. "What a coincidence, but I have to leave tomorrow morning. I'm afraid I won't be able to travel with Young Master Chen. "
This man's origin was unknown. He had just returned from Chu Kingdom. He must have heard some news about his identity. With their strength, although he wasn't worried that they would recognize him, it was better to keep a distance from them.
"Oh? Brother will be on his way tomorrow morning?" Chen Che tilted his head and asked.
Guxing nodded. "We still have important matters to attend to in Yaen Kingdom. We can't delay it. "
"I see. . . " Chen Che suddenly narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "It seems that there is still a long way to go between me and Morh. Haha. "
Guxing felt a chill from his smile and was somewhat speechless. "Could it be. . . "
"Yes, we will leave tomorrow morning as well. Just like Morh, there are some urgent matters that cannot be delayed. " Chen Che's smile became brighter and brighter.
Seeing that he could not refuse, Guxing had no choice but to accept his fate. "That's good too. I'm new here and I'm unfamiliar with this place. I'll have to trouble Young Master Chen to take care of me. "
"Haha, good, good, good. Morh, you don't have to be polite with me. " Chen Che glanced at the dishes on the table and suddenly frowned. "Sigh. How can these things be used to serve guests? Waiter, come. Quickly withdraw this table for me, and then give me a serving of the best dishes and wine in your restaurant!"
The waiter actually believed his words! He was going to withdraw all the dishes, and Guxing hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him. "These dishes are already very good. There is no need to bother to change to a better table. "
After saying that, he cupped his hands apologetically to Chen Che. With a bitter smile, he said, "I have been in a hurry these few days. I have not eaten well for several days. My stomach is already rumbling with hunger. If I remove this table of food. . . I am afraid that before the new dishes are served, I will be starving until I have no strength left. I hope Young Master Chen will forgive me for my rudeness. "
"Sigh, what are you talking about, brother? What do you mean forgive me? You have to come to my Great Song. Between you and me, you are the guest. As the host, I naturally have to consider the guest first. " Chen Che said," Since brother is not willing to wait any longer. . . Then I won't force you, waiter. Go and get me another bowl and chopsticks, and bring me another pot of good wine. As the saying goes, a thousand glasses of wine is not enough to meet a bosom friend. I got along with Morh. Today, I shall drink to my heart's content! "
The waiter immediately left in a hurry. After a moment, he delivered all the things he had ordered.
"Oh, this is the silver taels required for the dishes on this table. As for the rest, there is no need to look for them. I might need you to serve more wine later. "
Chen Che said as he took out a gold ingot from his pocket and threw it into the waiter's hand. The waiter immediately caught it in a flurry, but he was almost blinded by the dazzling golden light.
The waiter was stunned as he held the gold. He clenched his teeth and returned it to Chen Che. He said, "This guest has paid for the meal just now. Therefore, this ingot of gold should be kept by this guest. "
"Oh?" Chen Che glanced at Guxing with some doubt. He looked at Guxing and nodded slightly. He immediately laughed. "The things that I, Young Master Chen, have given out have never been taken back. It seems that you are quite honest. This ingot of gold. . . "
After playing with the gold in his hand for a while, he exerted force with his fingers again and flicked it into the hands of the waiter. He said, "I will give it to you!"
The waiter was immediately overwhelmed by the favor and nodded repeatedly. He thanked the waiter profusely and left.
Guxing was also shocked by this man's generosity. He had heard that the Soong Kingdom had always paid attention to trade. That was why there were many wealthy merchants in the country. It was likely that this man's family background was one of the many wealthy merchants. That was why he regarded money as nothing and was distracted. Chen Che had filled Guxing's cup first, then poured himself another cup. He raised his cup and advised, "Morh, in this vast sea of people. . . There are many people who don't know each other. If there is no fate. . . Even if the two people who were close to each other spent their entire lives together, they might not even make a single sound. We have only met once before, but now we can sit at the same table and drink together. This is also fate, for fate. How about a toast?"
"Of course. " Guxing finished the glass of wine in one gulp. Chen Che saw what happened and said, "That's great. " He also drank a mouthful of the wine like Chen Che did. When the liquor entered his throat, he immediately felt a burning sensation in his stomach, as if it was burning. His face couldn't help but turn red, and he couldn't retreat.
"Great!" Chen Che seemed to enjoy the spiciness of the liquor piercing through his throat. After a while, he filled their glasses again. He picked up the glass first and drank the liquor in one gulp. He said to Guxing, "I will drink it. Do as you wish, brother!"
He seemed to have the intention of drinking with Guxing. Guxing would not be afraid of him. He had grown up with his grandfather. He was afraid that his family did not lack alcohol. And for some reason, the old man never restricted Guxing from drinking like how other adults taught their children. That was why he was able to drink so much at such a young age. However, he was worried that these people might have other motives for coming to him for no reason. Guxing did not dare to drink as much as he wanted. He just kept following Chen Che's pace. He also finished a cup when he saw Chen Che finish a cup. After a few rounds, the wine in the pot had been emptied. Seeing that Chen Che was about to reach for the other pot again, among the servants standing behind him, Finally, someone could not bear to watch any longer, and mustered up the courage to persuade him, "Young Master. . . Don't drink anymore. If you drink any more, you will get drunk again. "
Chen Che opened his hand and said in a muffled voice. "What do you mean drop? Young master, do I look like someone who drinks a drop? Get out of my way. I am very clear-headed. Come, come, come, come! Mo. . . Morh, let's. . . Continue drinking! "
Seeing that he was drinking so much that even his tongue had grown bigger, Guxing was somewhat confused as to why he was looking for him. Could it be that it was really as he said, purely because he felt that there was fate between them? Instinct told him. Things would definitely not be so simple. When he thought of this, Guxing probed, "Young Master Chen, we still have to hurry tomorrow morning. In my opinion, it's better to drink less. How about we stop here? "
"Drinking is drinking. What does it have to do with traveling? Don't bother with them. Come, let's continue drinking!" Chen Che said as he held the wine pot in his hand, signalling Guxing to bring the cup over.
Guxing acted as if he was saying: "But. . . "
"Aiya, what's so good about buts? Mo. . . Morh, why did you become so wishy-washy? If I tell you to take it, then take it! "As he spoke, he grabbed Guxing's cup and filled it up. Then, he added another cup for himself.
