Chapter 379 [Brotherhood, as strong as wine] (two in one)
This chapter is not easy to separate, two in one :)
Tang Bao was very pleased and felt that he had indeed not admitted his mistake as the elder brother Zhou Yi.
In the circle of high-ranking kids in Kyoto, Master Bao Er is really just Master Bao, because he is still under the head of Gu Yun. To be honest, even Tang Bao does not have the confidence to be above Gu Yun. No matter whether it is personal ability, family background, wealth and power behind him, Gu Yun must steadily suppress him, so that he can only sing and conquer under this sister Gu in his life...
Zhou Yi was the first person to dare to challenge Gu Yun’s authority. Although the outcome was not decided yet, Tang Bao had full confidence in his elder brother. The boss said that Gu Yun could not eat his food, so he would not eat it thoroughly! This counterattack was beautiful, and it made Gu Yun, a proud daughter who was above the top, not able to continue!
As far as Tang Bao knows, Gu Yun has found many famous foodies in the country in the past few days, waiting to taste Zhou Yi's "mysterious dishes". He rushed to Yunshui in such a hurry, first, for the boss's private brew of good wine, and second, to remind the boss that his opponent is very yellow and violent, and he must not take it lightly.
"Just provoking me for this? Haha... I thought you had already conquered you."
Zhou Yi is getting more and more familiar with Tang Bao now. This young master is just a little better. As long as he recognizes you as a friend, he can take it with peace of mind no matter how you attack. He is a model among his buddies.
"It's not just me, the dogs in Kyoto. Both men and women admire the boss so much that they even opened foreign markets. They bet on the winning or losing between you and Gu Yun. As far as I know, many people bet on you to win. Boss, your behavior this time is really a relief!"
Tang Bao smiled and said, "Of course, I am the dealer..."
"You little brat, do you make money with me?" Zhou Yi smiled and gave him a fist: "Okay, you came early, you are lucky. Let's try your new good bar first?"
"Why, someone else is coming later?"
"They are all brothers in the same dormitory in my college years. Zhu Xiaohua, Guan Wei, you know him, but you have never seen the fifth brother Zuozhu before. This time I have the chance to get close to him."
Zhou Yi has long been preparing to find an opportunity to formally introduce his brothers to Tang Bao. Although his brothers are doing well, they are all suffering. It is definitely beneficial to them to know Tang Bao. This is called "sharing of connections and resources". It is only done by real friends and good brothers. Unlike some snobs, they have a good way to do it. They are doing well. They not only do not say that they can help their friends, but also show off in front of old classmates and old friends. Zhou Yi looks down on such people.
"Are they all your old classmates?" Tang Bao was stunned: "Boss, you are a class reunion. Is it appropriate for me?"
"What's wrong with me? They are all brothers who wear pairs of pants and still feel fat. Although their family background is not as good as you, my friends should be your friends. Do you still look down on my brother?"
Zhou Yi glanced at Tang Bao, which was also a test of him to see if he had recognized the wrong person.
"Boss, who do you think of me? Your brother is my brother. As long as the brothers are gone, I will be slacking off with you."
Tang Bao laughed and said, "My good brother, don't try to measure your brother... By the way, what kind of dish do you want to cook for Gu Yun? It made me feel itchy. To be honest, I have invested a lot in this bet. If you lose, your brother will have to become a pauper."
"Put your heart back in your stomach. This time my brother will fulfill your wishes, and I will treat it as helping you solve the financial crisis." Zhou Yi smiled and said, "As for what kind of dish it is, I will keep it confidential for the time being, and I will leave you a memory."
"Boss, you're so bad."
***
The first one to arrive was Zhu Xiaohua and his wife. Comrade Xiaohua experienced Zhou Yi's birthday party and was deeply excited after seeing the luxury of the "Wangqi Villa". He gritted his teeth and changed his cannons. He threw away his old Santana and changed to a four-wheel drive Hyundai SUV. Along the way, he told Huaduo many times about the scenic spots of Zhou Yi's birthday party. He regretted it when he heard about Huaduo. If he had known this, he would not have gone out for a trip. What a great opportunity he had missed? There was Guo Yueguang and Fang Bingbing. If he were there at that time, he might have been noticed by some entertainment giant and entered the entertainment industry since then.
Zhu Xiaohua has always been obedient to her wife who is beautiful but not gentle enough, and even a little vain. But when she heard that she had this idea, Comrade Xiaohua immediately turned her face. Who are the people in the entertainment industry? She is a woman friend of Jeju Medical University, but that is the one who dominates the small copy. The sky is as big as a palm on her head. Looking at the entertainment industry, who is not a woman friend? The wife's thought must be broken!
Zhu Xiaohua felt that she could no longer hesitate. Last time when Zhou Yi celebrated her birthday, he thought about asking Zhou Yi to talk about his idea of going into business. Who made his wife not adjust all day long and ran around the world all day long, but she was always staring at world-renowned brands like "Louis * Vuitton" and "Kuqi". Her salary was really unbearable.
But after seeing Tang Bao, Zhu Xiaohua became entangled again; Tang Bao was very good-looking, calling Zhu Xiaohua one by one, making Zhu Xiaohua feel a little fluttering... What is the identity and background of Master Bao? He didn't know when he attended the Zhouyi birthday party together? He just thought that everyone was intimidated by his own people, but he could never get to the top, but unexpectedly, he took a look at his "business dream" again; this made him look back and examined his "business dream"... He wanted to give up his career before, because his father-in-law was about to retreat and his strength was exhausted, and he was just trying harder. At most, he would have to get to a deputy in his life. But if he met the eldest young master in the capital, his future would not be bright? On one side was the official journey and on the other side were the money, Comrade Xiaohua was suddenly unable to decide and had no idea for a moment.
Zhou Yi saw that Zhu Xiaohua was a little unconscious, so he didn't ask him to pick up Guan Wei and Zuo Zhu together, but just asked him to accompany Huaduo to browse the scenery in the "Wangqi Villa". He and Tang Bao drove an off-road Hummer, first picking up his sophomore, Guan Wei, and then picking up the handsome guy. He returned to the "Wangqi Villa" at noon, which was at the restaurant.
Zhou Yi was going to cook for lunch himself, so he just helped the idles move the mahogany Eight Immortals table to the "Wangyun Pavilion". There was no rain today, otherwise he would be "Tingyu Pavilion". Zhou Yi is becoming more and more particular now.
"Wangyun Pavilion" is also a pure bamboo and wood building. Even the ground is made of good water and willow trees. It is very comfortable to walk on it. Sitting in the pavilion, smelling the fragrance of bamboo and wood and the fresh air in the mountains, watching the clouds rise and fall in the mountains. Not to mention the working class like Zhu Xiaohua and Guan Wei who have been in the city for a long time, even Zuo Zhu, who is used to the same color of the sea and the scenery outside the territory, and the noble young man like Tang Bao, was a little dazed for a moment, feeling that this was a high-quality life, and he had lived in vain for the first half of his life.
‘Hua Duo’ sang as she sang, kicked Zhu Xiaohua gently with her feet, lowered her voice and said, “What else do you have to think about? You can’t even enjoy such a life when you become an official at my dad. I think it’s better to do business. If you look back, you will tell Zhou Yi, have you heard it?”
"Yes, yes. My aunt, can you speak softly?" Zhu Xiaohua's face turned red.
"Haha. Brother Zhu wants to do business? Do you have any ideas? I can invest in it..."
Zhou Yi went to the kitchen to work, and his brothers were chatting and chatting. Tang Bao quickly got along with his brothers and became acquainted with him quickly. Everyone knew that Zhou Yi met the eldest young master because he was fighting crickets. Seeing that he was a noble young man, he didn't show off his airs and had a good impression of him. At this moment, his brother and brother had already called him happily.
"Oh, how can you be so embarrassed..."
Zhu Xiaohua shook her head and said, "You are misunderstood by Master Bao. I want to ask the third brother whether he can be a regional agent of Zhoujia Group's "Linshui Xiangxie" and not to start a company by himself or build a brand or something."
"I see."
Tang Bao thought for a while and said, "Brother Zhu, are you at the deputy section level now? Actually, you are not old now, and in the future... you may not be able to take a few steps. Have you really considered doing business?"
He truly admired Zhou Yi and loved the house and the underworld. He truly regarded Zhu Xiaohua as his brother. Guan Wei and Zuo Zhu were not in the career, so he couldn't help him even if he wanted to. Zhu Xiaohua's affairs were actually something he said hello to the lower house. He didn't have to go through the old man.
"Hi, I was hesitant..."
When Zhu Xiaohua heard this, her mind suddenly became alive again. He always felt empty and unwilling to let him resign from his public office.
"What are you hesitating about? What is your future for being an official? How much money is it per month? Husband..."
"Hua Duo" held Zhu Xiaohua's arm and said, "I just want a big house like Zhou Yi, but I can't bear to be a corrupt official. Let's do business, okay..."
"My mom, is this house still here? This whole tourist attraction, Zhou Yi is now at the Valley Master level!"
Zhu Xiaohua sighed and said, "Okay, my wife, I will listen to you. This time I have to ask the third brother if I have a shameless face. For my wife, my buddy is shameless."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Tang Bao also shook his head. Before he met Zhou Yi, he knew the "Eight Banners" who had "hard-core crops are not worried about harvests". Who would worry about the future and money? Now he is still in the crowd. When he heard Zhu Xiaohua and the others talking about family matters, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc., he felt very friendly.
As a noble man and noble son, he received the earthly aura and his mind was calmed down, and the arrogance and extravagance in his body became much less faint.
"By the way, Lao Wu, I won't say that the sophomore is liked to be a reporter. You have worked hard enough to travel on a boat. Now that I haven't gotten married yet, what should I do if I get married in the future? Now that the third brother is getting older, the Zhou Group also needs agents from all over the country, so why do you do it together? Let's talk about this with Lao San together... Lao San, what's wrong with you? Why have you been listless since you came to Yunshuishan? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Zhu Xiaohua wanted to pull Zuo Zhu together, and she looked better in terms of face, but she didn't expect that after saying a few words, Zuo Zhu didn't answer, just holding her cheeks alone, staring at the clouds outside the pavilion in a daze.
"Yes, Lao Wu, what's wrong with you?"
After being told by Zhu Xiaohua, Guan Wei felt something was wrong. Why did Lao Wu look worried?
Although the handsome Zuo Zhu is not a clown in the circus, he is a romantic and lively young man. Otherwise, he would not have done anything to talk about the guitar in the girls' dormitory. Although his guitar talks really not very well, it has brought happiness to his brothers.
Only in one situation can a handsome guy be so depressed and be alone in a daze, that is, a broken heart.
"Lao Wu, you are in love again? Aren't you? This is the face that broke up in love back then. It's been so many years. We can be considered a big man who has traveled all over the world and seen storms. Why are he still the same as the little boys back then?"
Zhu Xiaohua giggled. As a recognized friend of women at Jeju Medical College, when it comes to picking up girls, he is an expert? If it hadn't been in the hands of "Flower" early, his chunk of cow dung that was fat enough would be a legend. So he thought that Lao Wu should probably listen to the opinions of his expert: "Tsk tsk, Lao Wu just got Shaofen*Li, the noble lady, you will be in a state of love if you missed the other shot? Don't be afraid or not, tell me quickly, that girl is the strongest fortress, and I have a way to help you take her down!"
"Haha, don't say, Xiaohua really didn't brag this time. Lao Wu, just say it. Even if he can't do it, you still have two sisters-in-laws. They must have a way."
Guan Wei also laughed loudly. Among the five brothers, he was the one who disliked joking the most. But when he saw that Lao Wu was in trouble again, his second brother was concerned and happy.
"Ask the world, what love is, it only teaches people to agree with life and death, ah..."
The handsome little guy seemed to have not heard the words of the two brothers. He sighed to himself, and finally said something that no one could understand: "If I had known this, why would you have been so impatient? He was just obsessed with it... Hey, I really want to transform into the clouds in the mountains, so that I could quietly surround her, hey..."
I'll wipe it!
My brothers and the others were all stupid, and Lao Wu went deeper and couldn't even understand.
It seems that he is really hurt. No wonder he has always been like a tramp and walking dead since he came here, and he doesn't say a depressed sentence...
Tang Bao looked at Zuo Zhu, but felt envious: "It turns out that it is possible to like a woman like this. It really makes people yearn for..."
He was born with the "Golden Scepter" in his mouth. He has always been a girl who has always cursed him. Even a famous actor like Yu Linglong, a well-behaved and cute innocent girl like Xier, has to give him a favor, coax him, and offer him a gift. Although Miaoyin often obsesses him with a few words and gives him a look, it is at most cold and hot, and close and separated. In fact, she still has concern and expectation for him in her bones. How could he have ever experienced a broken love?
Tang Bao felt that he was a poor person, a bitter child who could not even taste the taste of broken heart.
"It's better to be an ordinary person, and your life is colorful..." Mr. Bao is really not a show-off.
"Haha, who is sighing? I agreed in advance that today I am the one who is the one who invites me to have a few parties. Today I am only happy. The fifth brother, if you are a man, just stand up. Whose girl is so unhappy and dares to make my fifth brother fall in love, she will regret it..."
Just as Zuo Zhu finished wet, Zhou Yi arrived, and there were still a series of helpers behind him. He was holding wine and serving the dishes. He quickly removed the melon seeds and peanuts and various fruits on the table, and placed a full table of wine and food. The aroma of wine and meat suddenly made people's appetites open. Even the handsome guy who had been depressed couldn't help swallowing: "It smells so good!"
"Haha, today is a party for brothers. I don't show off any famous dishes in big series, just a few home-cooked dishes. However, the ingredients used are all first-class, and there is also this wine..."
Zhou Yi pointed to the black wine jar sealed with red mud on the table and said, "This is my new 'Five Gods Brew' this year. I'll try it, how about those sky-high Wuliangye?"
"Is it worth mentioning that the wine made by Brother San? OK, I'm just about to drink!"
Zuo Zhu reached out and was about to get the jar of wine, but Zhou Yi stopped him and said, "Wait first, this wine will make you feel even more worried? Besides, it's not okay to drink this wine with ordinary wine utensils. Wait for a while..."
My brothers didn’t understand, what are you waiting for? After a closer look, I found that there were all wine and food on the table, including chopsticks and plates, but there were no wine glasses. I thought to myself that the third brother was going to pull a bowl and drink it. Is he so generous?
While wondering, Tang Bao suddenly heard the applause and laughed, "Haha, why didn't I expect it? It turns out that you want to use this set of cups! Brothers, this is the 'Four-side Bronze Bottle' that the boss has tricked me from here. It's a first-class way to drink white wine. We have to drink a few more cups today!"
I saw a gangster who carried eight three-legged bronze jugs and four square goblets on the table on a plate, and also provided four bronze spoons for dividing wine. These four square goblets were not used for drinking, but served as a wine divider. The bronze jugs were the wine glasses that were really used for drinking.
Although there were only seven people, Zhou Yi still placed the empty lord on the table. This set of wine utensils means "four directions and eight extremes". If one is missing, it will be gone, and it will not be auspicious enough. Since he has seen the magical aspects of Feng Shui of the ancestral tomb, he has begun to have some superstitious thoughts, which can be reflected through this small thing.
"Last brother, you are so particular. Do you have to use cultural relics when drinking wine?"
Zhou Yi broke through the mud jar and poured the wine into four square goblets. The wine fragrance suddenly filled the wine. These guys who had good wine could not help it. They picked up bronze spoons, scooped out the wine from the square goblets, and poured it into the bronze jar in front of them. The feeling was that it was completely different from drinking with modern wine utensils, as if it had some communication with the princes and nobles who sang and ate in the cauldron two thousand years ago.
Not to mention that the aroma of the wine is so pure. In just a moment, the entire "Guanyun Pavilion" was filled with it. Not only brothers, but also "Hua Duo" and Guan Wei's wife watched her husband pour wine for her, but they didn't refuse.
"Come on this day five years ago, our brothers left with tears. Today we gathered again. This glass of wine represents a strong brotherhood and represents the years of these five years. Cheers!"
As the eldest of the five brothers, Zhu Xiaohua was a rare man. He raised his cup and roared, and the sound shook the valley. He was stunned when he saw the "Flower" and felt that he didn't know this twenty-four filial husband...
