The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s

Chapter 488 - Both Commanders’ faces were red like monkey butts. (1)

The banquet finally started officially after the lecture.Tong Jiaxin skipped breakfast intentionally just to save room for this banquet. He was so hungry by now that his eyes were bulging out.The second he heard that lunch was starting, he immediately got himself a large piece of pork knuckle and took big bites on it.Delicious!He had never had pork feet that tasted better!The pork knuckles were beautifully colored, the skin melty, and one’s mouth was filled the taste of meat with one bite.The stir fried pork intestines were numbing, spicy, and aromatic. The pig intestines had no odd tastes at all and the more one chewed, the better it tasted. The braised pork was shiny and translucent. They would melt in one’s mouth and was cooked to perfection.The braised chicken had a good texture and the corn, carrot, and bone soup was nice and thick. The vegetables were crunchy and everyone enjoyed the meal thoroughly.Xiao Weiguo and his brother finally understood why their Second Grandpa wanted to be transferred from the Northwest back to Capital City. Even they wanted to come to Capital City just for their cousin’s cooking alone.Zhou Yan and Huang Qimin also lamented on how lucky Wen Rugui was as they ate.Their wife/fiancée’s cooking did not remotely measure up to that of Tong Xuelu.They had lost on this front as well.Pu Jianyi, too, was very envious. He had wanted to make a move on Jiao Yunshi but had gotten nowhere so far.He had thought that Wen Rugui would be single for life. Little did he know that Wen Rugui would get engaged before him.Would he still had gotten nowhere with Comrade Jiao Yunshi when Wen Rugui was getting married in two years’ time?Pu Jianyi felt a sense of threat.Halfway through the meal, people slowed down on the eating and starting chatting as they ate.Zhou Yan and Huang Qimin stood up at this time.Huang Qimin smiled at the crowd and said, “Fellow uncles, aunties, and kiddoes. We are Rugui’s colleagues from the base and his bro. We would like to perform a show on his engagement day.”Tong Xuelu had a bad feeling.Sure enough, she saw Zhou Yan coming out from inside the house after Huang Qimin was done talking.He had a sounain one hand and a ribbon in another. His mouth cracked opened and he said, “Today we will be performing souna and yangge for all of you!”The crowd cheered when they heard that.Tong Xuelu, “……”Wen Rugui, too, leaned into Tong Xuelu and whispered to her, “I’ve picked up sounaas well. I’ll give you a private performance later.”He had wanted to perform it on his own engagement banquet but Huang Qimin and Zhou Yan said he was not up there in skills yet.What a bummer.Tong Xuelu, “……” That would not be necessary.She had a difficult time envisioning someone as good looking as Wen Rugui playing the souna.Nah ah. She would need to talk him out of this bizarre hobby later on.Huang Qimin started playing the souna and Zhou Yan started twisting with the ribbon in his hand. Words could not begin to describe the awfulness of the sight.That being said, with souna, the hooligan of instrument there, the atmosphere was definitely lively.All the kids ran up to join Zhou Yan on his dance and the scene was very lively.After the performance was over, Xiao Weiguo, Tong Xuelu’s oldest cousin, and her Third Cousin pulled out a bottle of Moutai from out of nowhere and walked over to Wen Rugui with a smile.Third Cousin placed the two cups in his hand on top of the table, smiled, and said, “Our future cousin-in-law, we can’t possibly end a day of celebration without some alcohol.”Xiao Weiguo opened the bottom of Moutai and filled both of cups. “Here, toast to everyone!”Third Cousin chimed in. “What we really want to see is the exchange of wine between the bride and the groom!”The crowd laughed.A bottle of Moutai cost 8 yuan in these days and was considered the most expensive of all alcohol.Tong Xuelu had yet to tried Moutai from this era. She had wanted to try some but her cup was taken away by Wen Rugui before she could even touch it.Wen Rugui picked up both cups and said to the two cousins. “Xuelu is a girl. It’s not good for her to have alcohol. I’ll drink hers for her as well.”Xiao Weiguo nodded, pleased. “That works. You can drink both cups.”Third Cousin was pleased as well. “We are glad to see that you are so protective of Xuelu. Now we know that we can trust her with you.”Wen Rugui downed both cups of wine.The cups that the two cousins brought with them were the big, ceramic kind. They were barely smaller than a bowl. Two cups later, Wen Rugui’s face turned red instantly.Looking at his red face, Tong Xuelu asked, worried, “Are you feeling alright?”Wen Rugui was staring straight ahead of him.Wen Rugui’s ears turned beet red.Wen Rugui gave a secretive smile.Then.With a loud BAM!Wen Rugui passed out on the table.Tong Xuelu, “……”The crowd, “……”Zhou Yan shouted out, “Is he drunk already?”Huang Qimin rubbed his chin. “Looks like it. He was taken out by just two cups of wine? He couldn’t hold any alcohol at all!”The two felt better instantly. They could hold alcohol better than Wen Rugui.They had finally won a round.
