Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 452 Scenes
The sun gradually sets in the west, and night falls.

The temperature in the forest area drops sharply after late autumn, especially at night, and the rice fields are no longer suitable for setting up tables for meals.

in the hall.

There are two charcoal stoves on the Eight Immortals table.

A charcoal stove holds a wine pot, cooking rice wine, and a charcoal stove holds an iron pot, in which radish is stewed with cured pork chops, churning and churning with an alluring aroma, and a dustpan next to it holds green fresh vegetables.

The foursome, Li Hongbing, Dalang Ge, Hou San, Fang Wanda and the unlucky guy, gathered around the table and exchanged cups, having a lively meal.

"Brother, I heard that you are in trouble when you return to the city, why don't you tell me." Brother Dalang's face turned red and he picked up the wine bowl.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Hongbing looked up at the door with a guilty conscience and whispered, "Oak Express has had some trouble, and it has been solved."

The two of them touched the bowls lightly, and Brother Dalang said lightly, "Just get it done. If you can't figure it out, just tell me and I'll do it."

Others at the table couldn't figure out what riddle the two were playing, and the conversation quickly led to a fruit-picking activity in the mountains the day after tomorrow.

Rice wine has a strong stamina and goes up faster after heating.

Hongqi's eyes were blurry and his chest was beating loudly. He said how powerful he was. He dared to go into the mountains to catch rabbits at the age of three, shoot pheasants with a slingshot at the age of six, go into the mountains alone to dig medicinal materials at the age of ten, and walk out with his eyes closed. Ask Hou San to follow him the day after tomorrow, and he will definitely find something good.

Hou San's eyebrows were beaming when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly.

The scholars, Jianjun and Shengli beside them were blushing either from drinking or from listening to Hongqi's bragging. They lowered their heads and did not dare to agree.

Li Hongbing took a few glances at the red flag and made up his mind to find a steady person to follow him when he went into the mountains. Don't get too hot-headed and lead the person into a ravine and get lost.

Naturally, Brother Dalang didn't believe Hong Qi's words. When he went into the mountains to save people, he followed him. He knew that the old forest was dangerous, so he interrupted the topic, "Hey, where is your big golden tooth?"

"In the clinic, I heard that the dog wanted to lose weight because he stayed in the Qianlian dormitory and didn't come back." Li Hongbing took a leisurely sip of hot rice wine and turned to look at Fang Wanda, "The settlement matter is settled. When are you going to build a house? It will be done in half a month. It’s going to snow.”

"We are going to build a house next year, thank you village chief." Fang Wanda picked up the bowl with gratitude on her face.

"Thank you, thank you. The village will still count on you in the future." Li Hongbing also picked up the bowl, and the two of them touched each other lightly and smiled at each other.

at this time.

The phone rang, and Li Hongbing took it out and saw the phone number of the village committee.

After the call was connected, Chun Sheng said on the phone that many hunters had come to the village. He arranged to have a meal in the canteen and wanted to meet the village chief. He asked the village chief to personally promise to pay 200 yuan for each tourist.

hang up the phone.

Li Hongbing stood up and looked at everyone, apologetically saying, "Brothers, the hunters invited from other villages are here. I'll go to the cafeteria to meet them. You guys have a drink first."

hunter!

Brother Dalang immediately stood up and said, "Stop, you've already run away and you're still drunk. I'm going to join in the fun."

"You both run away, this drink is boring, go ahead if you want to."

"Yeah, let's go too."

Seeing that Brother Hongbing and Brother Dalang were going, the others couldn't sit still and stood up one after another and asked to go with them.

"Why are you joining in the fun? Let's have a big drink later, can you do that!!"

"Men can't say no, it's just drinking, so many of us are afraid of a ball, just to save your face."

Brother Dalang slapped his chest generously, and Hongqi and the others nodded, as if they shared weal and woe.

Li Hongbing had no choice but to tell Shan Xing, and the group left the old house.

Caogou Village Canteen.

The long table is filled with a variety of delicious home-cooked dishes in rich and attractive colors.

The dishes are mainly based on local agricultural products. Fresh vegetables, tender meats and traditional farm dishes can all be found here.

Tourists gathered together, sitting around a long table, chatting cordially, and eating farm food.

In the corner of the cafeteria, there is an Eight Immortals table, but the atmosphere is a bit deserted.

A dozen middle-aged men in their 50s and [-]s were sitting on chairs, with straight spines and simple clothes. Their faces were covered with traces of time, and their eyes were deep and sharp, revealing a kind of wisdom and perseverance that had experienced countless trials and hardships. .

"Brothers, come all the way here, let's eat first." Dakui stood up and greeted him eagerly.

Everyone at the table shook their heads in silence, and a slightly older middle-aged man waved his hands and spoke in a deep and powerful tone.

"Dakui, my boss is not here, how can I use my chopsticks? Wait a minute."

"You guys, all the hunters have a bad temper." Dakui shook his head helplessly and sat down. The hunters were used to squatting in the forest, and they had a stubborn and dull temper.

Not for a while.

Li Hongbing led people to open the curtain and walked into the cafeteria. The tourists gathered around him as if they were seeing a big star, shouting in all directions.

"village head."

"The village chief on horseback."

"Village Chief Li, where is your big tweed, and where is Xiaobai."

"Can we take a photo together?"

Faced with such enthusiastic tourists, Li Hongbing had no choice but to smile and interact with the tourists one by one. After dealing with them, he walked to the corner of the cafeteria and apologized.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm late. I'll punish myself with three drinks later."

Dakui stood up quickly and helped introduce, "Brothers, this is Li Hongbing, the head of our village."

Whoa!

The old hunters at the table all stood up. Although they did not speak, a pair of sharp eyes fell on Li Hongbing, giving him the illusion that he was about to be hunted.

"Sit down, everyone, you're welcome!" Li Hongbing showed an awkward smile and quickly asked people to sit down. He found that the Eight Immortals table was full and even a little crowded. Originally, there were eight people sitting on the Eight Immortals table in the southeast, northwest and northwest, but there was no room for the old hunter in front of him. Tens.

Then he turned to greet the chef who was busy in the cafeteria, "Caitou, Caitou, come here."

"Here you go, Doctor Li, what's the matter?" The assistant cook trotted over with a white towel on his shoulders.

Li Hongbing pointed at the crowded table and said, "Give me a big table and put on whatever big dishes you have at home. As long as the meat dishes don't use leaves or hyperbolic rice wine, do you have any Bao Gu Shao? Bring over two jars."

"yes sir!"

The young man who helped cook made a funny gesture from a movie, took off his towel and wiped the Eight Immortals table next door, and moved it to the old hunter's table, so that the two tables were put together.

"Doctor Li, please sit down first. I'll go to the kitchen and talk to the master."

"Sit down, there's nothing good in the ravine. Just eat something." Li Hongbing greeted and sat down.

The four unlucky guys who were not afraid of death, Dalang Ge, and Hou San followed and took their seats. Only Fang Wanda realized that something was wrong, so she directly said to go to the kitchen to help and ran away.

Pooh!
deserter.

Brother Dalang and others secretly despised him.

What is the fastest way to bring people closer is to drink. If you don’t get closer after drinking, it means you haven’t drunk enough.

A bowl of Baoguyaki is poured in front of everyone on the table.

Hongqi and the others looked sad. They had drank some rice wine at Brother Hongbing's house. They were thinking of drinking some more rice wine as a formality, but they saw the strong aroma of shochu in the bowl.

Instantly panicked.

This kind of shochu is a shochu made by locals in the forest area by mixing and roasting corn, sweet potatoes, and mung beans. It is highly alcoholic and is not suitable for ordinary people to drink. Only older people prefer the explosive taste of corn roasted.

And before drinking, it must be ignited with fire. After one sip, it will burn through the mouth, throat, and stomach like fire.Li Hongbing took out his lighter and touched the flame to the wine bowl.

boom!
There was a slight explosion.

A cluster of blue flames floated from the wine bowl, swaying in the wind.

Brother Dalang and Hou San's eyes twitched when they saw it. They thought the hyperbolic rice wine was at its end. Who knew there was such a ruthless product that smelled like industrial alcohol.

A little wine catches fire, but you can drink it without burning to death.

But old hunters like Baogu Shao, and often go into the mountains and woods, staying there for seven or eight to ten days. The mountains are very wet and cold, and Baogu Shao is particularly effective in dispelling cold and dampness.

Take the lighter and light the wine bowls one by one.

Seeing this, Hongqi could only risk his life to accompany Junzi. Since he came to support Brother Hongbing, he would hold on until the end and ignite his own passion.

It was the turn of Brother Dalang and Hou San. Brother Dalang looked at Hongqi with pleading eyes, hoping that he would be noble enough to let himself live and never forget his great kindness.

Hong Qi grinned, nodded, and flicked the lighter into Brother Dalang's wine bowl. Boom, a cluster of blue flames rose up.

Dogs got in, the people in this village are so bad!

Seeing this, Brother Dalang grabbed the lighter from Hongqi's hand, adhering to the brotherhood of sharing blessings and sharing hardships, and thoughtfully helped light Hou San's wine.

I thank you for your eighteenth generation of ancestors! !
Hou San was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

The tourists eating in the cafeteria didn't pay much attention at first, thinking it was just an ordinary banquet, until they saw a bowl of lit wine in front of everyone and gathered around in surprise.

Regardless of whether you drink alcohol or not, everyone basically knows that the ability of liquor to burn means that the alcohol content is high. The higher the alcohol, the easier it is to burn. Low-alcohol liquor cannot burn.

Liquors like these with blazing blue flames start at at least 50 degrees, and maybe 60 degrees.

Drink a bowl and you won't be able to turn into a fire-breathing person.

Tourists took out their mobile phones one after another and took photos silently.

Seeing everyone lighting up their wine bowls, Li Hongbing didn't hesitate.

"Come on, let's not say anything else. On behalf of Caogou Village, I welcome everyone to come and have a bowl!"

Before he finished speaking, he picked up the burning wine bowl, raised his head and drank it in a gulp. As the tourists screamed in surprise, Li Hongbing wiped away the burning wine fire at the corner of his mouth and turned the bowl over. There was still a layer of weak wine fire at the bottom of the bowl.

it is good! ! !
The old hunters and tourists cheered.

The former sincerely admires Li Hongbing from Caogou Village. He dares to drink a big bowl of Baogushao, which shows that he is generous and generous and does not play in vain.

The latter tourists who were watching the fun only had two words in their hearts: awesome, and three words, really awesome! ! !
"I've done it, you can do whatever you want!" Li Hongbing picked up the second jar of corn roast, patted the sealing mud, and said casually.

I did it, everyone is welcome!

The calm expressions of the old hunters present here changed. When drinking in the countryside, who would just drink from a bowl? If they don’t know how to drink, they would take the initiative to sit at the same table with women and children. When the table is served, they have to drink. It doesn’t matter whether they vomit after drinking or drink down. But there is no casual sex. Character.

Being casual is a slap in the face, looking down on oneself, not treating oneself as a dish.

The old hunters looked at the bowl full of burning corn roast. They said that when they were young, it was not like drinking water, but today they are different from the past. They are older.

My boss gives me face, but if I really act casually, I will lose my face in the future.

Then he picked up the bowl and drank it in big gulps. A faint smell of burning hair floated in the air.

Hongqi and the others swallowed, looked at each other, mustered up the courage to pick up the bowls, closed their eyes, and swallowed the burst of soju with a frown, just like drinking soup.

"Brother Dalang, what should we do? The doctor said it's up to you." Hou San turned pale and asked in a worried voice.

"Whatever, just look at the one on the table. These people are all animals. I've been here for half a month, and I've been drunk for half a month."

Brother Dalang suppressed his fear, no matter whether he could drink or not, he couldn't lose face.

In the old house, I let myself go.

He raised the bowl tremblingly, and under Hou San's horrified eyes, he brought the bowl to his mouth. As the burning Baogushao entered his mouth, Brother Dalang's expression became painful, and all his facial features were squeezed together.

call!
Someone finished the drink first and then put down the bowl and exhaled heavily. The strong smell of alcohol filled the air.

Afterwards, other people finished their drinks one after another, their faces darkened by the sun glowing red, and the tourists watching the excitement were amazed. No matter men or women, they would have a kind of admiration for people who can drink.

The four unlucky guys in Hongqi, after drinking the wine, immediately felt that the world began to spin, and their eyes became dull and lifeless.

boom!
Brother Dalang put down the bowl suddenly and looked at Li Hongbing provocatively.

seems to say.

Did you see that I did it too? Do you accept it? !

Suddenly, his mouth bulged, and the remaining Bogu-yaki mixed with alcoholic breath spurted out, and the spray was instantly touched by the alcohol fire.

call!
Then a blue flame burst out! !

"Mom, is that uncle a fire-breathing dragon?" A child clapped his hands excitedly and asked his mother beside him.

Charizard? ?

Brother Dalang just went crazy, and when he opened his mouth, there was a flame.

The image does look like a fire-breathing dragon.

The four unlucky guys and Hou San, who had not drank a sip of wine, were so frightened that they quickly ran away. Who knew who opened the curtain, and the mountain wind blew, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

dong dong dong dong!

Four consecutive voices.

The unlucky foursome fell gloriously.

Li Hongbing looked back and asked Hou San to send the person back without surprise.

Live it!

It's hard to persuade the damned ghost!

I asked you not to follow me, and each one of you patted your chest and said you wanted to save face.

I drank myself up with just one bowl of wine.

After he finished complaining, he turned around and continued to greet the old hunters who came from afar.

"Come on, come on, let's keep drinking. You're welcome. Fill up the wine."

Again! !
The old hunters' eyes were wide open. From the moment they received the news to the time they arrived at Caogou Village, they went non-stop. They didn't drink any water or eat anything, so they only had a bowl of Bao Gu Shao on the table.

The slightly older middle-aged man cupped his hands and said, "Village Chief Li, you can drink this wine any way you like, but if you ask me to ask you the right words, what you asked Da Kui to say will not count."

"Uncle Hong Bing, this is Brother Chang Shan from Sandaoliang. Among our hunters, Brother Chang Shan was the number one and no one dared to be the second. He went into the mountains alone for half a month and shot a big-money leopard with a knife. He has been there newspaper."

Dakui quickly stood up and introduced, and the old hunter next to him nodded in agreement.

Qian Baozi, it should be Qian Baozi!
I am alone in the mountains, hunting a leopard without using a fire weapon and only using a knife.

Ruthless!

Li Hongbing raised the bowl to toast, took a sip alone and said.

"Brother Chang Shan, I, Li Hongbing, keep my word. Whatever Dakui says will be true. 200 yuan per person, every penny is a lot."

Suddenly, the deep and powerful eyes of all the old hunters at the wine table suddenly lit up.
