35 Banquet

The night gradually darkened. The moon was dim, and the starlight was sparse.

After everyone entered the base, Li Yu's grandparents were very happy to see their third uncle's family.

Being able to reunite with one's family was always a joy, let alone in this apocalypse.

A grand banquet!

It was still brightly lit under the camphor tree in the center.

Second Uncle brought a few boys to kill a pig and roast it with a barbecue rack.

Li Yu brought the two brothers, Li Tie and Li Gang, to the warehouse to get wine. When they reached the warehouse, Li Yu looked around and saw that there was no one around. The smile on his face disappeared, and he asked very seriously, "You've been in the army for the past few years. Did you serve with Yang Tianlong and Zhao Dapao?"

Li Tie and Li Gang didn't know why Li Yu asked this, but they still said frankly, "Yes, we've been together for the past few years."

When Li Yu heard this, he continued, "What's Zhao Dapao's background? What's his personality like?"

Li Tie said, "He's a good person. Although he doesn't talk much, he's still reliable. When we came back, we passed by his house. Sigh, he's the only one left in their family now…"

Li Gang added, "Dapao used to be very quiet when he was in the army, but after he got used to our presence, he was still quite cold on the outside but warm on the inside…"

Li Yu nodded and asked about Zhao Dapao's preferences and whether he had done anything bad.

After getting their answers, combined with their interactions during the day, he roughly made a judgment.

He opened the door of the warehouse and moved the wine!

It had to be said that Li Yu was well-prepared when he got up early to stock up on supplies. His maternal grandpa loved to drink, and the Li family had a good alcohol tolerance, so Li Yu stocked up on several tons of alcohol.

Other than the more expensive Mao Wujian, there were also a small number of Luzhou Old Cellars, Yanghe Classic, Xifeng Liquor, Fen Liquor, Jin Wei Liquor, Drunken Keer Liquor, Xuan Liquor, Dong Liquor, Red Star Erguotou, Niulan Mountain, Peida Cang Liquor, and so on.

There were also some regional wines: Yubing Bei from Guangzhou, Sitei Liquor from Gan Province, Zhanggong Liquor from Yun Province, Heqing Liquor from Yun Province, Yanglin Fei Liquor, etc.

Among the Baijiu, there were all kinds of fragrant wines of various categories.

In addition to Baijiu, there were also some foreign wines that were appropriately hoarded. They were none other than the six basic wines in the mixing: gin, whiskey, brandy, rum, vodka, and tequila.

In his previous life, Li Yu also liked to drink. He liked to taste all kinds of alcohol. When he was in the mood, he would mix his own alcohol. However, it was not a fancy mix. In fact, it was not difficult to mix alcohol. For example, a cup of Long Island Iced Tea was just poured in one-third of the five basic alcohols and then two-thirds of the Coke. A little Cointreau and lemon juice could be mixed, and some ice cubes would be fine.

Those fancy movements wouldn't make the wine taste better, but it would make the wine more expensive.

Li Yu thought of his life before the apocalypse and saw all kinds of alcohol in front of him. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. After the apocalypse in his previous life, he didn't have much chance to drink.

When Li Yu and the others brought the wine up, the already alcoholic maternal grandpa couldn't sit still anymore and ran over to get a bottle of Zhang Gong wine.

He opened the bottle and poured it into a cup. He took a sip, clicked his tongue, and exhaled. He picked up a peanut and chewed it in his mouth, letting the fragrance of the wine and the food mix in his mouth.

Yang Tianlong usually liked to drink, but he didn't have many opportunities to drink in the army. He looked at Li Yu's maternal grandpa enviously. When his maternal grandpa saw Yang Tianlong's gluttonous look, he smiled and waved.

An old man and a young man were drinking on a stool. One had white hair, while the other had explosive muscles all over his body. However, the scene seemed abnormally harmonious.

Li Yu invited Zhao Dapao to sit down and eat. Then, he walked toward his second uncle.

He patted his second uncle, who was sizing Zhao Dapao up, and whispered, "What did you see?"

Second Uncle Li Hongda narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't know if he's pretending or if it's true. Why do I feel that he's a little silly and doesn't like to talk? I don't understand, let's wait and see."

Li Yu smiled and said to his second uncle, "Drinking is character. Although this is not a comprehensive statement, it has a certain meaning. Later, you, Little Hang, and the others will get that Dapao drunk and see how he really is."

Second Uncle pointed at Li Yu and looked at him meaningfully. "You, you!"

Today, when Li Yu had talked to Zhao Dapao and the others, his second uncle had heard some of it. He was also moved by Li Yu's sincerity.

How sincere.

"..."

Li Yu stopped smiling and paused for a moment. After a while, he sighed and said, "This apocalypse…"

When Second Uncle heard this, he stopped smiling. He looked at his nephew and felt a little bitter. The pressure on Li Yu was too great. For the safety of his family, he had to think so much. He had to consider all aspects.

The roasted pig in the middle emitted a sizzling sound as it was roasted. Li Yu's mother shook the stick on the roasted pig's body. As she turned it, she sprinkled seasoning, cumin powder, chili powder, and other spices.

Along with the yellowing of the skin, the secret sauce was sprinkled.

After baking again, the air emitted a unique fragrance of sauce and burnt fragrance that dissipated with the wind.

Everyone smelled the fragrance and looked at the roasted pig enviously.

Li Suxin, who was standing at the side, looked at the roasted pig eagerly. As she wiped the saliva left behind, she wanted to reach out to take it. However, she was stopped by Li Yuan. At this moment, Li Suxin was like a little monkey, chattering as she asked when she could eat it.

Little Xuanxuan, who was standing on the other side, would not be tempted by some roasted pig. In her eyes, Li Yu was more important than any roasted pig.

After a while, Liu Fanghua saw the roasted pig that had already turned brown and announced that it was ready to eat.

Everyone shared the food and praised. The skin of this roasted suckling pig was fragrant and crispy. The meat was tender and crispy, fat but not greasy.

Second Uncle took the opportunity to bring Li Hang and the other boys to Zhao Dapao and Yang Tianlong. He said, "Since we're together, we're family from now on. In order to welcome you, let's get drunk tonight!"

When Yang Tianlong heard this, he laughed and said, "Uncle, your words are still the best. Alright, let's not go home until we're drunk tonight!" His dark face actually blushed.

He liked this atmosphere and these days too much. After the apocalypse broke out, what trash did he eat with his little sister? He was on tenterhooks all day. It was great to find a reliable brother!

Zhao Dapao did not think too much about it. He said dully, "I'll call you Uncle too. I'll drink with you!"

When Second Uncle heard this, he laughed heartily. "Good, good, good."

During this time, Li Yu also came over to have two glasses of wine. Yang Tianlong pulled Li Yu to drink with him. Li Yu smiled and refused. "I'm on duty tonight. Fourth Uncle and the rest haven't eaten yet. I'll bring the food over."

Only then did Yang Tianlong give up.

Second Uncle, Zhao Dapao, and the others had been drinking during the banquet.

The moon hung high in the sky, and it was already midnight.

Second Uncle shook his head in a daze. Looking at Zhao Dapao, who was already drunk, he had a rough idea.
