Ma Cuilan smiled and shook her head, taking a sip of wine, "You really have no inhibitions about what you say, putting yourself with those people."
"It's nothing, otherwise I really can't think of who to toast to for the third cup. Besides, it's an honor for me to be with those people." Xu San said and picked up the meat skewers and started eating. I was hungry now, so I started eating without any scruples. After taking two bites, Xu San put down the meat skewers and said, "Actually, we all got together because of this, so this third cup is only appropriate for me."
Ma Cuilan still shook her head and did not comment on Xu San's arrogance.
"Alright, sister-in-law, let's think about things for the better. Let's get drunk today. Let's start building. We are all our own. Don't hide it. Come to Yuanyuan, don't be embarrassed, just treat it as your own home."
Although she is already a master and apprentice, she is still shy, and there are some things that she just can't get over for a while.
After listening to Xu San's words, she relaxed a little, picked up a bunch of grilled mushrooms, and slowly bit into them.
The atmosphere slowly increased. Xu San and Xiao Hong were both people who could stir up the atmosphere at the wine table. Therefore, the atmosphere of this skewering event became more and more joyful, even though Su Yuan was full of worries. There was also a strange smile on his face.
After three rounds of drunkenness, the five flavors of food are exceeded.
Xiaohong took out the pipa and said with drunken eyes, "Brother-in-law, what music do you want to listen to?"
"Prince Lanling Enters the Battle Song!"
"Okay!" Xiao Hong agreed and began to strum the strings without even wearing her fingernails.
The chilling melody with a strong rhythm sounded, breaking the peace of Ping An City. After the prelude, Xu San turned around and found a tambourine that he played when he was a child, and started playing to Xiao Hong's rhythm.
Although the tambourine is not big, it can hit the spot every time. It complements Xiaohong's pipa and highlights the courageous momentum of the army.
At the end of the song, Xiaohong covered the strings with her hands and said, "Brother-in-law, I didn't expect that I also know the rhythm."
"I don't understand, but I've heard you play this piece twice, and I remember the rhythm very clearly."
"Xu San's drum playing is very good. It would be better if it were replaced with a military drum. If it is changed again, it can be used as military music for soldiers when they go to war."
Xiaohong nodded, "I'll give it a try when I have time, but it's a pity that it's hard to find the snare drum now."
"Is it okay to use a big drum?" Xu San asked.
Sister Hua shook her head, "It's better to use a thunder drum. The big drum lacks the murderous spirit, so it will be less murderous when played."
"Okay, then I'll keep an eye out if it's too far away this time. There are often wars there, so I should be able to find it."
The little girl clapped her hands, "Aunt Xiaohong plays so well!"
"Of course, I have worked very hard for this pipa. When I was young, I would cry and play it at the same time. And you unscrupulous sisters even came to invite guests to watch."
Sister Hua covered her mouth and smiled, "Then won't we also share the reward money with you?"
Xiaohong pouted, "Humph, you unscrupulous sisters, the guest rewarded me with two oceans, and you only gave me 1 cent."
"It's very reasonable!" The little girl suddenly interjected from the side.
"How is it reasonable? Two oceans only gave me a dime!"
"5% of the two oceans is just a dime, and the commission Uncle Xu gave me for selling the goods is just a dime!"
Xiaohongxin did the math, and it was indeed 5%, but you were selling goods, I was performing arts, and our profits were different.
"No, no, you are selling goods, and there is a cost. My brother-in-law gives you 5%, which is very high. I am doing a show!" Xiaohong blushed and argued with the little girl.
The little girl vaguely knew the key to this, but she had her own theory, "You can get 5% just by playing for a while, but I only get 5% if I buy a month's worth of goods."
Xiaohong had drunk a lot at this time and her brain was a little hard to work. After the little girl said this, she actually felt that what she said made some sense.
So, she no longer struggled with this issue, but put down the pipa and continued to play the string.
Seeing the little girl settling the accounts in a decent manner, everyone laughed happily again.
Ma Cuilan was particularly happy at this moment. The education of the past six months finally showed its effect at this moment.
The lingering sound of the pipa was still lingering in her ears. Sister Hua was holding the wine glass, thinking deeply. She knew why Xu San wanted to listen to this piece of music. A few days ago, the Japanese also asked Xiao Hong to play this piece of music before their raid. This time he played it again. Listen, maybe it’s too far this time and it’s dangerous.
A kind of worry lingered in my heart, and I couldn't help but have a trace of anxiety on my face.
"Are you worried about me?"
Xu San's voice came, and Sister Hua turned her head and looked at Xu San, "A little, but I believe you."
"Thank you for your trust!" Xu San said, raising his glass.
"Snapped!"
The wine glasses clinked together and the two drank down the wine in one gulp.
After watching the two people clink glasses, Xiao Hong immediately picked up the wine bottle and ran over to pour wine for them.
Xu San looked at Xiaohong, who was showing off her hospitality. "It's either a traitor or a thief. Tell me what you want to do."
Xiaohong stared at Xu San, shaking the wine bottle in her hand, "Let's have a glass of wine! It's rare that you are happy today, how can you, young couple, not express it."
Xu San looked at Sister Hua, then at Xiao Hong, and then whispered, "Are you going to take medicine?"
"Who do you think I am, An Hong? How could I possibly do that to a dirty guy who drugged me?" Xiao Hong said frankly and sworn.
"Qianqian~" Xu San stood up and raised his wine glass.
Sister Hua also picked up the wine glass, smelled it, stood up, and then stretched out her arm, with a bit of trepidation and shyness in her expression.
Xiaohong looked at Sister Hua and thought to herself, Sister has not lost her skills yet, her expression is simply amazing.
The two people intertwined their arms, turned around, lowered the wine glass to their mouths, and drank it all in one gulp.
"That's right!" Xiaohong said, taking the wine glass and returning to her seat.
Drinking wine and making skewers is the best and most comfortable way to relax in this hot summer. Although Xu San had grilled it before, the three or two skewers were not enough to satisfy the little girl's appetite. Today, the table was full and open to eating, which made her I completely forgot how much I ate, and ended up slumping down in a chair with my belly so round that I couldn't move.
"Stop sitting, get down from the table and move around to digest your food." Ma Cuilan said looking at the hopeless little girl.
"Hmm~" The little girl jumped out of the chair and then went to the house to find Big Big Wolf.
The little girl was very active and had a lot of fun playing with Big Big Wolf, but she did eat too much, until she almost had it in her throat. This intense activity made her stomach churn, and after a while she said "wow" Spit it out.
After spitting out a few mouthfuls, the little girl suddenly felt a sense of weakness and sat down on the ground.
The little girl was making such a fuss that several people stopped drinking and came over to check on her.
"I told you to eat less, but you didn't listen." Ma Cuilan said a little distressed and reproachfully.
"It was Uncle Xu who asked me to open my mouth to eat, so I...wuwuwu~" the little girl started crying as she spoke.
Xu San touched his head and said, "Why are you crying? Your mother doesn't blame you."
"Woooooo~" the little girl pointed at the thing she had just vomited, "mutton skewers, all for nothing!"
