Chapter 35: Throwing a Banquet 【For further reading】
The night is getting dark, the moon is dim, and the stars are sparse.
After everyone entered the base, the grandparents and others were very happy to see the third uncle and his family.
It’s always a joy to see family members reunited, especially in these apocalyptic times.
Have a big feast!
It was still brightly lit under the big camphor tree in the center.
The second uncle and a few boys killed a pig and roasted it on a barbecue grill.
Li Yu took two brothers, Li Tie and Li Gang, to the warehouse to get wine. As he walked to the warehouse, Li Yu saw that no one was around, the smile on his face faded, and he asked extremely seriously: "In the past few years, have you been a soldier?
Did he serve with Yang Tianlong and Zhao Dapao?"
Brothers Li Tie and Li Gang were a little confused as to why Li Yu asked this, but they still said calmly: "Yes, we have been together for the past few years."
After hearing this, Li Yu continued: "Where is that Zhao Dapao? What is he like as a person?"
Li Tie said: "The person is not bad. Although he doesn't talk much, he is still reliable. When we came back, we passed by their house. Alas, he is the only one left in their house now..."
Li Gang added: "Cannon, I used to be a sullen person when I was in the army, but after I got used to it, I'm still quite sultry..."
Li Yu nodded and asked Zhao Dapao about his hobbies and whether he had done anything bad.
After getting the answers from the two people, combined with the contacts during the day, I made a rough judgment.
Open the warehouse door and move the wine!
It has to be said that Li Yu was well prepared when he got up early to stock up on supplies. Grandpa liked to drink, and the Li family had good drinkers, so Li Yu stocked up on several tons of alcohol.
In addition to buying relatively small amounts of the more expensive Mao Wu Jian, I also stock up on a small amount of Luzhou Laojiao, Yanghe Classic, Xifeng Wine, Fenjiu, Jinhui Wine, Hengke Jiangjiu, Xuanjiu, Dongjiu, Red Star Erguotou, and Niulan.
Mountain, Beidacang Liquor, etc.
It also includes wines from some regions: Yubing Shao from Guangfu, Site Wine and Zhanggong Wine from Gan Province, Heqing Wine from Yun Province, Yanglin Fei Wine, etc.
Among the liquors, we have stocked up on all kinds of flavored liquors, including sauce-flavored, light-flavored, strong-flavored, fragrant-flavored, clean-flavored, etc.
In addition to liquor, we also stocked up on some foreign liquors, which are nothing more than the six basic liquors in bartending: gin, whiskey, brandy, rum, vodka and tequila.
In his previous life, Li Yu also liked drinking and tasting various types of drinks. When he got interested, he would mix drinks by himself, but it was not fancy mixology. In fact, it was not difficult to make drinks. For example, a cup of Long Island iced tea was just poured in.
Add one-third of the five base liquors, then add two-thirds of Coke, a little Cointreau and lemon juice, shake it, and add some ice cubes.
Those fancy moves will not make the drink taste better, but will only make the drink more expensive.
Li Yu thought of his life before the apocalypse and saw the various drinks in front of him. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. After the apocalypse broke out in his previous life, he had no chance to drink.
When Li Yu and the others brought the drinks, my grandfather, who was already an alcoholic, couldn't sit still and ran over to get a bottle of Zhanggong wine.
Open the bottle, pour it into the cup, take a sip, tut, and exhale. Pick up a peanut and chew it in your mouth, letting the aroma of the wine mix with the food in your mouth.
Yang Tianlong usually drinks well, but he doesn't have many opportunities to drink in the army. He looked at Grandpa Li Yu with greedy eyes. Grandpa saw Yang Tianlong's greedy look and smiled and waved.
Two people, an old man and a young man, were drinking together on a stool. One had gray hair and the other had explosive muscles, but the picture looked unusually harmonious.
Li Yu greeted Zhao Dapao and sat down to eat and drink, then walked towards his second uncle.
He patted his second uncle, who was sizing up Zhao Dapao, and whispered, "What do you see?"
Second uncle Li Hongda narrowed his eyes and said: "I don't know if he is pretending or if he is really like this. I feel that he is a bit silly and doesn't like to talk. If you don't understand, let's take another look."
Li Yu smiled and said to his second uncle: "Liquor is your character. Although this statement is not comprehensive, it has certain reference significance. You and Xiaohang will get that cannon drunk later and see what his true state is."
How's it going?"
The second uncle pointed at Li Yu, looked at him meaningfully and said, "You, you, it has to be you!" Today, Li Yu talked to Zhao Dapao and the others, and the second uncle also listened to some of it.
Li Yu stopped smiling, paused for a while, and then sighed leisurely: "This is the end of the world..."
When the second uncle heard this, he also stopped smiling. Looking at this nephew, he felt a little bitter in his heart. The pressure on Li Yu was too great. For the safety of his family, he had to think so much and consider all aspects.
The roasted pig in the center made a sizzling sound as it roasted. Li Yu's mother shook the stick on the suckling pig and sprinkled it with thirteen spices, cumin powder, chili powder and other spices.
As the skin turns yellow, the secret sauce is sprinkled on it.
After baking again, the unique aroma of sauce and burnt aroma will be released in the air, drifting in the wind.
Everyone smelled the aroma and looked at the roasted pig with eager eyes.
Li Suxin, who was standing aside, looked at the roasted pig eagerly, wiping the saliva left behind, and wanted to reach out for it. But she was pulled by Li Yuan on the side. At this moment, Li Suxin was like a little monkey.
, he chirped and asked when he could eat it.
As for Xiao Xuanxuan, who is standing on the other side, she will not be tempted by any roasted pig. In her eyes, Li Yu is more important than any roasted pig.
After a while, Liu Fanghua saw the roasted pig that was already browned and announced that it was ready to eat.
Everyone shared the food and praised it one after another. The skin of the roasted suckling pig was yellow and crispy, the meat was tender and the bones were crispy, and it was fat but not greasy.
The second uncle took advantage of the situation and took Li Hang and the other boys to walk up to Zhao Dapao and Yang Tianlong and said, "Now that we are together, we will be a family from now on. In order to welcome you, we will not return until we get drunk tonight!"
Hearing this, Yang Tianlong laughed and said, "Uncle, you're better off speaking nicely. Come on, let's not go home until we get drunk tonight!" A blush appeared on his dark face.
He liked this kind of atmosphere and this kind of life so much. After the apocalypse broke out, he and his little sister ate everything, and they were in fear all day long. It was great to find a brother!
Zhao Dapao on the side didn't think much, and said a little dullly: "I also call you uncle, and I will drink with you!"
When the second uncle heard this, he laughed boldly: "Okay, okay."
Li Yu also came over and had two glasses of wine. Yang Tianlong pulled Li Yu to drink with him. Li Yu refused with a smile and said: "I'm on duty tonight. The fourth uncle at the door hasn't eaten yet. I'll send it to them."
.”
Only then did Yang Tianlong give up.
There was a big banquet, and the second uncle, Zhao Dapao and others kept drinking.
The moon was in the sky and I had been drinking until midnight.
The second uncle shook his slightly confused head and looked at Zhao Dapao, who was already drunk and swaying, and he felt roughly confident.
