Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

When we arrived at the tavern, the mature and intellectually beautiful proprietress was sitting behind the counter as usual.

When she saw Wang Hongtao, her face turned red and she lowered her head.

In fact, Xu Huizhen herself couldn't understand why she was so impulsive at the time and was attracted by a man she met for the first time...

"Boss, we meet again."

Wang Hongtao left Xu Damao and walked to the counter, greeting Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Are you drinking again this time?"

Wang Hongtao spread his hands and said, "Otherwise, boss lady, you don't have coconut milk for sale."

Xu Huizhen glanced at him and thought, don't you know whether there is coconut milk or not? You are talking as if you didn't taste it last time.

Wang Hongtao's heart shuddered when he saw the charming look.

"What kind of drink would you like to order this time?"

Wang Hongtao thought for a moment and said, "First, two bowls of Niulanshan, and then a few side dishes."

Xu Huizhen leaned forward, revealing a hint of whiteness, and asked meaningfully, "Do you want it for free or for a fee?"

Wang Hongtao patted his slightly sore lower back and said, "Let's go for free next time. Someone is treating us today."

Xu Huizhen curled her lips in disdain, turned around and asked her employees to prepare wine and food.

Wang Hongtao sat back down opposite Xu Damao and chatted for a while while the food and drinks were served.

Looking at the side dishes in front of him, Xu Damao was surprised and said, "Why is there fried eggs with leeks? Doesn't the tavern only serve cold dishes?"

Wang Hongtao understood the proprietress's intention, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes.

"Don't worry about that. What you need to think about now is how to make me happy. Your performance will determine how much I teach you."

Xu Damao said excitedly: "Drinking? I'm good at this. Just wait and see, I will definitely accompany you well!"

In excitement, Xu Damao took out all the big and three small weapons he had used to deal with his leader.

Wang Hongtao frowned: "Brother Damao, even if you have a good alcohol tolerance, you can't resist drinking like this, right?"

In fact, Xu Damao can drink quite well, otherwise the leader wouldn't always ask him to drink with him.

But no matter how good your alcohol tolerance is, you can't resist the way he drinks.

Persuade your leader with kind words, persuade yourself with bold words, and remember everything.

Although this way of drinking sounds intimidating, once the opponent doesn't listen and Xu Damao has withstood these three attacks, he will be at a loss.

Before the opponent could make any effort, Xu Damao confused himself.

If the boss drinks three cups, he has to drink thirteen cups. Are you kidding me?

"Hehe, when drinking, there has to be some noise to create atmosphere." Xu Damao chuckled.

"Okay, let's not talk about that between brothers. Let's do this. I'll have one cup and you'll have two. This way you'll feel the effect and you won't pass out after just a few drinks."

Xu Damao gave him a thumbs up: "Old Wang, you are really honest. I have made friends with you in vain!"

"Dry!"

.....

When they were half drunk, Wang Hongtao didn't really let Xu Damao treat him to a meal in vain. Instead, he taught him a lot of good things.

"Brother Damao, let me tell you, before you deal with someone, you must first know what the other person lacks and wants."

"For example, Yi Zhonghai, he is a senior man in the courtyard and a seventh-level worker in the factory. It seems that he has everything he needs, but the only thing he lacks is a child, right?"

"At this time, you can either be like the silly Jia Dongxu and find someone to be your godfather and take care of you in your old age, or find him a godson. Will he not remember you when the time comes?"

Xu Damao was cheered up after hearing this: "That shouldn't be the case. With Yi Zhonghai's ability, he would have adopted a child long ago. Why would he wait until today?"

Wang Hongtao filled Xu Damao's glass, clinked glasses with him and said, "This is another point of knowledge. It's too early to tell you now."

"Tell your brother about Shazhu. What's wrong with you two? Why do you always fight when you see each other?"

In fact, Wang Hongtao was also very curious about why Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were so incompatible.

Xu Damao hesitated and refused to say anything. He just told Wang Hongtao not to interfere and told him to stay away from Sha Zhu. He repeatedly emphasized that Sha Zhu was not a good person and that he was greedy for other people's wives.

Seeing that Xu Damao's expression didn't seem fake, Wang Hongtao suddenly understood something. Could it be that Shazhu's father and Xu Damao's mother...

If it is said that Sha Zhu's mother died early and Sha Zhu's father himself was not an honest man, then maybe this is really possible.

(This is not made up by the author. In terms of coveting other people's wives, Sha Zhu's father is even worse than Sha Zhu. In the TV episode where Lou Xiao'e and her mother were drinking together, He Daqing looked like a ghost, which was unbearable to watch.)

Look at the two pictures and you will understand:

Seeing that Xu Damao was unwilling to speak, Wang Hongtao did not force him. He just wondered how He Daqing, who was so decisive and ruthless, could give birth to a fickle person like Sha Zhu.

Apart from anything else, just eloping with a widow is something that not everyone can do.

In comparison, Sha Zhu is not even a little bit worse. If Sha Zhu had half the ability of He Daqing, he wouldn't have been left out in the cold by Qin Huairu for eight years without getting a chance to eat meat.

"Brother Damao, we are drinking today, so I will teach you a little bit about the wine table. Do you know what are the taboos of drinking with the leader?"

"Drinking? Taboo?"

"You mean?" Xu Damao drank a lot at the banquet, but he couldn't really tell the whole story.

"First of all, there is a science to the timing of toasting. You must not toast to the guests before the leaders have finished their toasts. You must wait until the leaders have finished greeting and toasting before you go over to toast, otherwise it would be overstepping the boundaries."

"You must stand when toasting and pour the wine 80% full. I won't remind you of these, you must know. What I want to remind you here is that when toasting to the leader, it is best to walk to the leader instead of toasting from a distance.

“Also, there are certain rules for toasting, you have to hold the cup with both hands and show respect.

When you clink glasses, your cup should be placed lower than your leader's cup!"

"When your leader drinks with you, he's giving you face. No matter how much he drinks, you should drink first to show your respect. Remember, use both hands and keep the cup low."

Xu Damao put his learning into practice and immediately filled Wang Hongtao's glass. He stood up and toasted him: "Before, I always drank based on my feelings. Today, I learned the truth from what you said."

"I must toast you with this glass of wine. I'll drink it. You can do whatever you want!"

After saying that, Xu Damao picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then tilted the glass to signal Wang Hongtao.

Wang Hongtao drank half a glass as a return drink. After all, they had agreed before drinking that you would drink one and I would drink two.

It’s not that Wang Hongtao can’t drink more than Xu Damao, but he is mainly afraid that both of them will drink too much and won’t be able to go back.

There must be someone who is sober enough to take care of Brother Damao and my sister-in-law at home, right?

Xu Damao drank a few more glasses of wine in joy and asked, "Old Wang, let me ask you something. It is rumored that the deputy chief of our Propaganda Department is going to be transferred. Do you think I have any hope?"

"You? Deputy Section Chief?" Wang Hongtao looked at Xu Damao speechlessly.

"That's not a big deal. If I can become a deputy section chief, I will be a leader in the factory. How dare Shazhu not give me, a factory leader, face?"

Wang Hongtao rolled his eyes at him and said, "How much did you drink to get so drunk?!"

"Not to mention that you have no chance of becoming the deputy section chief. Even if you do become one, Sha Zhu will still not take you seriously."

"Don't you know Sha Zhu's temper? Not to mention the head of the Propaganda Department who has nothing to do with him, even if it was the director of their cafeteria, he would still not give face."

Xu Damao seemed dissatisfied: "Humph, that's because their canteen director is incompetent. Let me be the leader and I will definitely make Sha Zhu obedient."

"Well, if you still don't believe me when I tell you the truth, don't come complain to me tomorrow if you get chopped by an idiot."

Xu Damao didn't take it seriously at all. He poured wine for both of them, picked up the glass, thought for a moment, and then put it down.

Wang Hongtao found it funny to see him hesitate to speak: "What's the matter, brother Damao? Are you worried about something?"

Xu Damao rubbed his hands: "Um...Brother, can I ask you for a favor? Aren't you on good terms with Deputy Director Li? Can you say a few good words for me?"
