Chapter 44 Opening Ceremony

Good evening, distinguished guests! It's an honor to meet you all tonight on Longsheng Street for a culinary feast. Behind me is our star attraction for tonight – Longsheng Restaurant.

People strolling along Longsheng Street heard the host speaking and rushed towards Longsheng Restaurant, finding an empty seat and sitting down.

Two people sat at each table, which was set with two bowls of Lei Cha (a type of tea), two pairs of chopsticks, and several plates of snacks. The snacks included preserved plum with eggs, pickled pepper chicken feet, deep-fried crispy loach, and a small dish of hibiscus cake. But what was most puzzling was that there were also two wine glasses on the table.

What are these two wine glasses for? Could it be that Master Long is treating us to drinks tonight?

Haha! You're quite the joker, sir! What makes you so special that Master Long would invite us for drinks?

At this moment, a servant boy carrying little Furong came to Yuqin's side.

Madam, this is what the young master asked me to give you! He will be saying a few words on stage later, and it will be a little inconvenient to hold it.

Yuqin took Furong from the servant's arms. By this time, little Furong had eaten and drunk her fill. After stretching on Yuqin's lap, she plopped down on it again.

Sweetie, why aren't you clinging to your daddy anymore? Are you thinking of grandma now?

Meow! Little Hibiscus wagged her little tail.

Yes! What you say is absolutely right! Tonight, our Lord Long is treating us to drinks! Why is that? I wonder if any of you gentlemen here know the answer?

Is it because our Lord Long is getting married that he invited us here for drinks?

No, no! I heard from someone that our Lord Long is already married and has two lovely and well-behaved daughters.

Yuqin frowned upon hearing this.

Oh! So the Dragon King is choosing a husband for his daughter tonight? That's why he invited us here for drinks!

Wouldn't that mean there'd be a ball-throwing game? I absolutely must catch the ball for my son! After that, my family will be rich!

Hahaha! This guy really has some wild ideas! This uncle doesn't have a daughter at all! Even if he did, it would be Xiao Furong. Does this uncle want his son to marry a kitten?

Zhuzhu laughed so hard she leaned all over Yuqin.

Little princess, Grandma has noticed you have a sharp tongue! You love teasing people!

Grandma, is Zhuzhu wrong?

Alright! Fellow villagers, welcome to the opening ceremony of our Longsheng Restaurant! I am the Dragon Lord you all know.

Mu Long was standing on the stage wearing a mask, and Mu Wang was standing next to him.

At this moment, a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

I am still unmarried! Tonight's feast is not, as this brother said, to choose a suitable husband for his daughter. Rather, it is to celebrate my eldest brother's return to my mother and me.

Great! What a wonderful night! Lord Long should raise a glass with us and share a drink, but all we see in front of us is an empty glass!

Yes, yes, yes! Our Lord Long used to be such a generous and forthright person, why has he become like this today...?

Standing on the stage, Mu Long clapped his hands, and a group of servants, each holding a pot of wine, quickly ran to the front of the stage.

This brother is right! Lord Long will now fill everyone's cups! Lord Long wishes all of you brothers and your families happiness and fulfillment.

As soon as Mu Long finished speaking, the servants standing in front of the stage took wine jugs and poured wine for the villagers present.

Mmm! Delicious! This is truly worthy of being a gift from Lord Long!

Why does this wine have a faint hibiscus fragrance?

Meow meow!

When Furong saw her master standing on the stage, she wanted to go find Mulong, but Yuqin held her in her arms.

Meow meow!

Don't go, sweetie! Daddy has important things to do! Let's not go up there and cause trouble!

A strong cup of hibiscus wine perfectly expresses a mother's longing for her son who is far away. And if you take a bite of hibiscus cake, isn't that sweet taste just like your mother's?

Alright! Master Long is right, one should not travel far from one's parents!

Lord Long raises another glass to everyone! May our brothers share joys and sorrows, and unite as one to conquer the world!

As soon as Mu Long finished speaking, the servants standing in front of the stage took wine jugs and poured wine for the villagers present.

Mu Wang walked to Mu Long's side and hugged him tightly, whispering, "It's alright! It will all pass! I'll bring your sister-in-law back to the manor in a few days. So don't be so sad."

Haha! Does my elder brother feel bad seeing me like this?

What do you mean by that? Do you still want me to lift you up high in the air?

If you'd like! Sure! I really miss the days when my older brother would hold me in his arms!

This must be Master Long's brother, right? This guy is so lucky to be Master Long's brother!

Actually, it is a blessing for Master Long to have an elder brother!

I've heard that this grand restaurant was prepared by Master Long for his elder brother! And all the wines used here were made by Master Long's elder sister-in-law herself?

Yes, yes! This Taiwanese guy is right!
