Chapter 345 220. Banquet
"Sister, do you want to come and have a taste?"

Zhou Nanbei did not have the habit of persuading people to drink, and he only asked politely. After all, there are so many people who love wine in Huaguo, and there are quite a few women. As the host, he wanted to show his enthusiasm and hospitality to everyone. guests.

Before Zhang Li could speak, Gu Cheng took over the conversation.

"Forget it, brother, let's come together. If I'm drunk, I still expect my sister to take me back to the room."

A few words can be considered to resolve Zhang Li's embarrassing situation. If she answered directly, she would have to drink such a cup because she couldn't save face.

"Okay, come on, let's start first. Welcome to Yacheng, Junior Brother and Junior Sister. It is a great honor to meet you two today. I hope to keep in touch in the future."

As the big brother, Zhou Nanbei raised his cup and gestured towards the two of them. He really likes Gu Cheng as a junior, and more importantly, he admires and admires his talent, so this sentence is very sincere. .

Although Zhang Li didn't drink alcohol, the drinks were also paired with her. She put the herbal tea that is very popular in Yacheng in her teacup. As a city living by the sea, the air here is humid and the food is very hot. A very famous local drink.

The herbal tea provided by this restaurant has its own secret recipe. Compared with the herbal tea on the market, it has stronger efficacy and is also very suitable for eating with seafood. Many people come to this restaurant to buy herbal tea to take home. Drinking is also very popular.

Gu Cheng also picked up the wine glass, because everyone is of the same generation, even Zhou Nanbei is called a big brother, so naturally there is no need to stand up to show respect.

"I'm also very happy to know my senior brother. I will definitely keep in touch with you in the future. I'm stupid, so I won't say much. Let's do it first."

After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. A spicy taste flowed from his throat to his stomach in an instant, which made him frown and mouth. It's been a long time since he had a daughter. , can be controlled even on weekdays, it is very dangerous for a child to have an alcoholic father, so naturally Gu Cheng can't relax.

Today was the first time I drank alcohol in half a year, and I almost couldn't hold back for a while, but after the spiciness passed, it turned into a soft taste, and the mellowness hidden under the spiciness.

"Good wine."

Gu Cheng looked at the empty wine glass and gave a sigh of admiration. Because he was also a good drinker in the past, he knew the taste of wine well. This level of good wine is rare, basically in some stores. It is easy to buy, and can only be purchased through some private channels or auctions.

Zhou Nanbei was also very happy to see Gu Cheng's performance. As a hospitable person, the compliments from the guests are the greatest satisfaction for him. He hurriedly greeted him to try some seafood to relieve the spicy taste of the drink. Zhang Li's side had already Started to attack these large seafood that are not easy to see on weekdays.

Gu Cheng first picked up the cut squid tendrils, which were covered with all kinds of sauces. Before he tasted it, he felt a strong aroma. He put the food in his mouth and chewed it. It was soft and had a crispy, fishy smell It was handled very well by the chef, not noticeable at all, and the taste was very good.

The three of them ate and chatted in the restaurant, during which time they also chatted about everyone's family situation. Zhou Nanbei already had a son who is now in high school. He is also a good student with good character and academics on weekdays, which is also his greatest pride.

When mentioning the child, his face was full of pride and a sense of accomplishment. Gu Cheng also shared a photo of his own child. Xiao Youyou's cute appearance was not surprisingly praised by Zhou Nanbei again. Although he was very satisfied with his son, But men, they always fantasize that they have a daughter acting like a baby and laughing in front of them.

It is a pity for Zhou Nanbei to not have a daughter. Looking at Youyou's photo, his envy for Gu Cheng Added another layer.

"By the way, what do siblings do?"

Zhou Nanbei changed the subject and asked about the identity of Gu Cheng's wife. This was a very common conversational phrase. In his opinion, if there is a child, there must be a mother for the child. Otherwise, where else would the child come from.

"Brother, let me toast you."

Because Zhou Nanbei did not understand the situation, the atmosphere froze as soon as he spoke. Zhang Li knew Gu Cheng's situation very well and knew that the other party would not come back. .

"Okay, come on, junior sister toast, I must be obliged."

Zhou Nanbei also realized whether his question was inappropriate, so when Zhang Li threw away the ladder, he naturally laughed and threw it away.

Seeing the two of them trying to smooth things over, Gu Cheng didn't have any unhappy emotions. This matter is always to be faced. After such a long period of preparation, he has already prepared himself, and I believe that this situation will happen frequently in the future. Not too little, and it doesn't hurt to be blunt.

"My wife passed away. Because of some physical problems, she passed away after the birth of my daughter."

After saying this, Gu Cheng's eyes didn't fluctuate. In his heart, Li Li gave birth to a very lovely daughter for him, so she is his wife,

"It's hard for you, Junior Brother, come and drink."

Zhou Nanbei didn't realize this was the case. When he first realized that something was wrong, his biggest guess was that the two of them had a disagreement and had a conflict. No matter how serious the situation was, it was just a divorce.

So when Gu Cheng revealed the answer to the mystery, he was really shocked. He patted Gu Cheng on the shoulder with some comfort, filled the empty wine glass again, and the two clinked to drink.

This meal lasted for three or four hours, and by the time the wine and food were full, it was already eleven o'clock at night. Zhou Nanbei was already a little drunk at this time, and his whole body was shaky, but his eyes still looked very clear of.

And Gu Cheng's appearance is not much better. After all, he quit drinking for several months, and suddenly relapsed. It is inevitable that his drinking capacity will decline. He staggered, stood up, and prepared to say goodbye to his senior brother and then go back to the hotel to rest. .

"Brother, are you okay, do you want me to see you off?"

Gu Cheng struggled and staggered to hold Zhou Nanbei, and made a proposal, but judging from his current appearance, it was not so easy to convince.

"I'm fine. Just take a taxi and go back. You guys can go back too. Don't worry, we'll see you tomorrow."

Zhang Li didn't drink, so he easily supported Gu Cheng. After parting, he took a taxi and returned to the hotel.
