Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 424 - 433: Making You Drool with Envy

These people, each one of them grinning ear to ear, resembled the uncles in their big shorts squatting by the streets during the hot summer days, but they possessed astonishing identities.

Every single one here held a rank not much different from that of Ning Guoqiang; they all belonged to the same compound, or else, given Ning Guoqiang’s current status, very few would dare to joke around with him like this.

"Tsk tsk, I find you guys to be such nagging mothers. If you’re gonna come, just come; if not, then get lost. Just so you know, if you bail, no regrets," Ning Guoqiang said arrogantly, while Li Chunyu next to him wiped off his apron with a chuckling smile, "Don’t mind this old geezer, he just loves to babble."

"Come on, take a seat. There’s one more fish dish. You guys start drinking; I’ll go serve it up for you."

Li Chunyu laughed, and although everyone else urged her to sit down, she shook her head, insisted they start drinking first, and went back into the kitchen to prepare the last dish.

"Tsk tsk, Old Ning, spill it. What’s the deal today, you possessed or something?"

A seemingly authoritative man asked, to which Ning Guoqiang just smiled, "Look at you, always blabbering nonsense. Ain’t I just missing you guys, want to have a drink, and shoot the breeze with you?"

While talking, Ning Guoqiang took out a few bottles of "Bottled Sorrow" from the floor, and everybody’s eyes immediately gleamed upon seeing them.

"Whoa, Old Ning, you stingy rooster, how come you brought out this booze? Isn’t this the ’Bottled Sorrow’ your son-in-law gifted you?"

"Tsk tsk, ’Bottled Sorrow’ from the Flavor Lounge, great stuff, great stuff. Hehe, Old Ning, I gotta hand it to you today; I’m impressed. You’re really quite generous."

"Yeah, spill it, what do you need us to do for you? Let’s get one thing straight first: don’t make things difficult for us brothers."

Ning Guoqiang just laughed, "Get lost, I got nothing for you to do. We’re just here to drink. Come on, let’s get started."

As he spoke, Ning Guoqiang poured drinks for everyone. They all inhaled deeply through their noses; as seasoned drinkers, none of them could resist such a temptation.

With a clink, everyone drained their glasses in one gulp and wiped their mouths, praising the excellent liquor.

"Hey Old Ning, why aren’t you drinking? After such a big splash, it doesn’t feel right to us if you don’t join in. Right?"

The man named Li burst into laughter, but Ning Guoqiang just waved his hand, "That booze is for you to drink. I’m going for this one. It’s nothing fancy, just something my son-in-law got especially for me, but drinking it makes me happy for the sentiment alone."

With that, Ning Guoqiang took out a glass bottle with three bold characters scrawled across it: Wu Long Drunk.

"Hey, I’m telling you, Old Ning, I remember your son-in-law being quite wealthy, but this booze looks like it’s worth five bucks. What gives, is he disrespecting you, or is it some kind of torture for our Yu Shan?"

A man asked brazenly, but Ning Guoqiang shook his head, "Nonsense, that’s from my son-in-law’s own distillery. He gave me a few bottles. Enough talk, let’s drink."

The group nodded, poured themselves a glass of ’Bottled Sorrow,’ and got ready to drink. They had already lifted the glasses to their lips when suddenly, they all sniffed the air and felt invigorated.

Meanwhile, Ning Guoqiang happily opened the bottle cap and leisurely poured the Wu Long Drunk into his cup, creating a beautiful arc of liquid that immediately caught everyone’s eye.

"This liquor smells awfully good; seems even better than ’Bottled Sorrow,’ doesn’t it?"

"Yeah, how about this, I’ll take one for the team and give it a try. You guys go ahead with your ’Bottled Sorrow’. I’ll sacrifice myself for everyone and drink the dregs."

As connoisseurs, everyone could tell the quality of the drink from its mesmerizing aroma.

Ning Guoqiang immediately scowled, "Dregs my foot! This is the best from my son-in-law’s distillery, Wu Long Drunk. A single bottle sells for eighteen grand."

"If you insult my family’s booze again, get lost. You don’t deserve to drink it."

While talking, Ning Guoqiang poured a cup and gulped it down. He smacked his lips, and instantly felt revitalized, "Great drink, great drink! Damn, it’s like I’ve been drinking plain water all my life."

"Hey, what are you all looking at? Hurry up and drink. Didn’t you all pester me last time wanting a taste of this ’drown-the-sorrows’? Come on, hurry up."

As he spoke, Ning Guoqiang poured himself another cup, and then heard the rumbling of stomachs from the others, which made him chuckle with delight. Heh, he thought, the fish are about to bite.

"What’s that, Old Ning? Is this from your son-in-law? Tsk, tsk, let us have a taste."

"Yeah, you can’t do that to us. Just let us taste it. The aroma feels so good, but we don’t know what the taste is like. Maybe it’s not that great, huh? Come on, come on."

"Open a distillery? Damn, we are the best tasters here. Like this, let’s us have a try."

Ning Guoqiang feigned a reluctant nod and then poured a cup for each of them. They all grabbed their cups eagerly and drained them in one go.

"Hmm!"

Everyone was stunned, their eyes bulging. They trembled, pointing at their empty cups, unable to speak.

"How is it? Not bad, right? Come on, drink a cup of ’drown-the-sorrows’, while I’ll have this."

Ning Guoqiang couldn’t help but laugh, while the others’ eyes glowed green with envy. "Top Grade! This is definitely the Top Grade I’ve ever tasted! Old Ning, come on, pour another cup."

"The flavor is smooth, the taste unique, and there’s even an aftertaste. What a great drink!"

"Yes, yes, yes, this is the best drink I’ve ever had. Why do I feel so comfortable all over after drinking it?"

Ning Guoqiang shook his head, "Let me tell you, this drink is my son-in-law’s secret recipe, not only is it harmless, but it also strengthens the body and boosts health!"

"Old Ning, you can’t die from not bragging, right? We admit it tastes good, but this strengthening the body and health..."

The others grinned, their eyes fixed on the Wu Long Drunk in Ning Guoqiang’s hand, almost wishing they could pounce on it and grab it for themselves.

"You bunch of bastards, let me tell you, I drank a catty this afternoon, and here I am, drinking another catty now, and I feel great, not sleepy in the least."

Ning Guoqiang curled his lip, and the others were taken aback. Could it be true? While Li Chunyu just smiled, "Old Ning, haven’t you had your eye on my thirty-year-old Moutai? How about you take it tomorrow and exchange it for a bottle of Wu Long Drunk?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I’ve got old liquor at home too. Exchange it for a bottle for me, two for one."

Everyone hurriedly chimed in, but Ning Guoqiang on the opposite side just waved them off, "You’re teasing me, eh? If you want to drink, drink; if not, beat it."

While saying this, Ning Guoqiang took another bottle of Wu Long Drunk from under his feet and handed it to the others. This set them off like stirring up a hornet’s nest. They were like bandits, out of their minds with excitement.

Drink after drink, smacking their lips, almost swallowing their tongues, they roared with pleasure and relief, while Ning Guoqiang nearby grinned from ear to ear.

Done, mission accomplished, the advertisement had been made. In a little while, he’d give each of them two more bottles, and that would be that.

Meanwhile, over at Residence No.1, Mo Zidao was sitting on the sofa, indulging in the Wu Long Drunk Mo Xing had brought. It was bliss; he’d never tasted such good liquor before.

Just then the door opened, and a person walked in—a middle-aged man with greying temples, Mo Zidao’s new business associate.

"Brother Mo, why are you drinking alone here?" the man asked with a smile.

Seeing the person, Mo Zidao quickly hid the liquor bottle under the coffee table and nodded eagerly, "Yeah, just felt like having a drink out of the blue." Read latest chapters at novelbuddy
