015. How much alcohol can you drink

At this moment, Wei Yuhuan instructed the driver to stop the car in front. Xie Xiaojiang looked out of the car window and saw that they had arrived at the busiest area in Area A.

Wei Yuhuan asked: "Have you thought about it?"

Xie Xiaojiang: “What?”

Wei Yuhuan looked at him and asked, "Are you still going to escape?"

Xie Xiaojiang bit his lip and said, "I won't run away unless you hand me over to the police."

Wei Yuhuan: "How can I trust you?"

Xie Xiaojiang opened his mouth slightly, a little dumbfounded - how to make this man believe it? Could he even swear an oath

Wei Yuhuan was so amused by the other party's silly look that he burst out laughing. He opened the car door and said, "Get out." He had already realized that the threat of "Xie Xiaoxi" was effective on this guy, so he just asked casually and was not afraid at all.

After getting off the car, Xie Xiaojiang was still a little dazed.

In front of us is the famous commercial complex "Chenxing Port". This building was built two years ago and is a new landmark in City S.

When Xie Xiaojiang first arrived in S City, his fellow villager brought him here once. At that time, he only dared to wander around outside and watch, and did not dare to go in, fearing that he would be kicked out because of his shabby clothes. The fellow villager boasted to him that after he worked here for a year, he would be able to go in and buy things.

However, until today, Xie Xiaojiang still does not have the confidence to walk in. The strange-shaped arch that seems to appear only in the world of science fiction seems to be the door to another world.

But now, Wei Yuhuan actually brought him here, and obviously wanted to take him inside.

For a moment, Xie Xiaojiang instinctively wanted to run. He had been locked in the car for a whole afternoon, and he had thought of countless ways to escape. Now that he had regained his "freedom", how could he not be tempted

But if he ran away, would Xie Xiaoxi really be in danger? Xie Xiaojiang glanced at Wei Yuhuan secretly and felt that this man did not look like a good person.

Xie Xiaojiang had a tense struggle in his mind, but finally gave up the idea of running away and followed obediently.

There were many people coming and going here, and he thought that this Wei guy would not do anything to him...

The floor tiles in Chenxing Port are black and gold, shiny and bright, reflecting the star lights hanging on the glass dome, making people feel as if they are in the bright night sky.

The people coming and going beside him were all well-dressed urban white-collar workers. Xie Xiaojiang followed Wei Yuhuan carefully, tiptoeing for fear of dirtying the floor. He looked around curiously: the dazzling array of luxury bags, services, and cosmetics, marked with glittering English logos that Xie Xiaojiang didn't recognize; the gold cards swiping through the POS machine that he saw through the glass window, the fashionable men and women entering and leaving, all of them in high spirits and radiant faces...

Xie Xiaojiang was a little dazed. We were all living in the same world, so why were there such big differences between people

The two took the escalator to the dining area on the fourth floor. Wei Yuhuan chose a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant with a good reputation and went straight in.

The waiter at the front asked attentively, "How many people are there, sir?"

Wei Yuhuan: "You two, please sit on the big table and sofa."

Waiter: “Okay, this way please!”

When they arrived at the seat, Wei Yuhuan personally pulled out the sofa for Xie Xiaojiang to sit down.

Xie Xiaojiang was increasingly confused about what Wei Yuhuan was trying to do. He glanced at the special dishes recommended on the table—my god, each dish cost dozens or even hundreds of dollars. This was indeed a place only rich people would come to!

"What do you want to eat?" Wei Yuhuan asked without raising his head while flipping through the menu.

Xie Xiaojiang had no appetite at all. He stared at Wei Yuhuan warily, feeling nervous about the surroundings.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Wei Yuhuan directly called the waiter over and ordered two servings of seafood porridge, a set of three special roasted meats and some classic Hong Kong-style dim sum.

Xie Xiaojiang was so anxious that he couldn't help asking, "Why did you bring me here?"

"Let's eat," Wei Yuhuan pointed at his watch and said as a matter of course, "It's half past six. You're not hungry, but I am."

Xie Xiaojiang was stunned for a moment and asked, "You're treating me?"

Wei Yuhuan teased, "Are you going to treat me?"

Xie Xiaojiang blushed: "I don't have that much money."

Wei Yuhuan laughed secretly: "Then what are you asking?" It's so fun to tease the kid!

Xie Xiaojiang stopped talking and blinked twice blankly, feeling suspicious. Not only did this man not punish him, he also brought him to dinner. He had no idea what he was planning!

The dishes came up quickly, and the waiter asked if they wanted drinks. Wei Yuhuan didn't like drinks very much, so he glanced at the childish Xie Xiaojiang and subconsciously said, "Let's have some milk tea."

Waiter: "We have three types: classic Hong Kong style, mandarin duck, and silk stockings. The last one is our specialty. Which one would you like, sir?"

"Special." Wei Yuhuan said, serving a bowl of porridge to Xie Xiaojiang and pushing it over.

Faced with the fragrant seafood porridge and the shiny roast duck and barbecued pork, no matter how uneasy Xie Xiaojiang was, he could not resist the temptation of the delicious food.

…Who cares? I can’t bear it anymore. I’ll talk about it after I’m full!

He held the bowl of porridge and stole a glance at Wei Yuhuan. Seeing that the other party had already started eating, he stopped being shy and started eating as well.

The two ate in silence for a while, and the waiter brought the milk tea up: "Sir, this is the silk stocking milk tea you ordered."

Wei Yuhuan ordered her to release Xie Xiaojiang.

"For me?" Xie Xiaojiang opened his eyes wide.

Wei Yuhuan: "Well, try it."

Xie Xiaojiang tilted his head to observe the cup of milk tea for a long time, his eyes widened: "Why is it called stockings? Are there stockings in it?"

Wei Yuhuan almost burst out laughing, shook his head and explained to him: "The tea bags used to make this kind of tea have been soaked in milk tea for a long time, and have turned the color of stockings. It looks like stockings, hence the name."

Xie Xiaojiang nodded thoughtfully, took a sip, and said, "It tastes quite good."

Wei Yuhuan had never thought that he would bring Xie Xiaojiang to this place for dinner.

Shouldn't he give such a cunning little thing a good beating and some intimidation

However, the moment Xie Xiaojiang lowered his head and apologized to him in the car, Wei Yuhuan softened his heart.

He knew that judging people by their appearance might result in him suffering losses again, but this little crab had this ability, which made Wei Yuhuan willing to take the risk.

Wei Yuhuan had almost finished eating, so he put down his chopsticks and finally got to the point: "Xie Xiaojiang, let's make a deal. If you help me do something, we'll be even. How about that?"

Xie Xiaojiang was still savoring the last bit of milk tea when he heard this and was stunned... Damn! He knew there was a trap! It was waiting for him here!

"What's the matter?" Xie Xiaojiang's hair stood up. When he was a child, he watched a Hong Kong TV series in a convenience store. In the TV series, the gangster boss would not do it himself when he wanted to kill someone, but would find a scapegoat who owed him a favor... He thought, this Wei guy would not ask him to help him kill his enemies or something, right

Xie Xiaojiang stared at Wei Yuhuan warily: "Let me make it clear first, I won't do anything like murder or arson."

Wei Yuhuan: “…”

Xie Xiaojiang pursed his lips and muttered, "Besides, I don't steal money either."

Was he complaining to himself about the false accusation of him being a "thief"? Wei Yuhuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I don't kill people, I don't set fires, and I don't steal money. Don't worry, it's not a crime."

Xie Xiaojiang's eyes rolled around, as if he was trying to determine the truthfulness of Wei Yuhuan's words: "What was that?"

Wei Yuhuan said calmly: "Answer me a few questions first. Just answer whatever I ask."

Xie Xiaojiang: "Oh..."

Wei Yuhuan: "How good is your alcohol tolerance?"

Hearing this question, Xie Xiaojiang's face showed a hint of pride again: "I don't know, anyway, I've never been drunk."

Wei Yuhuan: "Then how much did you drink at most in one go?"

Xie Xiaojiang tilted his head and thought for a while: "It seems that when I was twelve years old, I accompanied my grandfather to drink. He opened a jar of homemade Daqu, which weighed about ten kilograms. The two of us drank all night and finished the whole bottle. He was drunk, but I was not drunk yet. I drank more than him."

Wei Yuhuan was shocked. According to what Xie Xiaojiang said, he drank at least five kilograms of wine by himself, and he was only twelve years old at the time! ? (Friendly reminder: The novel is fictitious, minors are not allowed to drink)

"What's the alcohol content of the Daqu wine you brew at home?" Wei Yuhuan asked in disbelief.

"It should be around 40 or 50 degrees," Xie Xiaojiang scratched his head. "I don't know exactly, but I drank some Feitian Moutai with a concentration of around 50 degrees at a relative's wedding, and I think it tastes about the same."

Wei Yuhuan: “…” It was a stupid decision to force this kid to drink in “Hanbao”!

Xie Xiaojiang smiled and said to Wei Yuhuan, "My grandfather is one of the best drinkers in our area. He can't drink as much as I can. So you know why I said you can't get me drunk, right?"

Wei Yuhuan: “…” Damn, this guy dares to finish me off!

"Why are you asking me this?" Xie Xiaojiang guessed, "You don't want me to help you drink?"

"Yeah." Wei Yuhuan nodded. This kid is quite smart.

"Is that all?" Xie Xiaojiang couldn't believe it.

"That's it." Wei Yuhuan smiled. He was not in a hurry to reveal his purpose. He wanted to let this kid let down his guard first. There was still a long time to come.

This was too easy, drinking was something he enjoyed... He had been worried for the entire afternoon, thinking that the man named Wei would do something to him.

Xie Xiaojiang was instantly relieved. He patted his chest and said, "I understand. Leave it to me."

Wei Yuhuan's eyes twitched: "Don't be so hasty to pat your chest. I'll have to test your alcohol tolerance later. You'll be dealing with someone special by then."

Xie Xiaojiang nodded indifferently. He was quite confident in his drinking ability and was not afraid at all.

Wei Yuhuan calmed down and asked some more questions about Xie Xiaojiang's family. Although he had asked a private detective to find out a lot of information, he still wanted to hear it from Xie Xiaojiang himself. On the one hand, he wanted to test his character, and on the other hand, he wanted to use this opportunity to bring the two closer together, which would make it easier to act in the future.

Of course, before asking, Wei Yuhuan told Xie Xiaojiang the reason why he knew "Xie Xiaoxi".

"You hired someone specifically to investigate me?" Xie Xiaojiang was shocked.

Wei Yuhuan smirked: "Yeah, let's see if you dare to run again. If you run again, I can catch you back no matter where you are."

Xie Xiaojiang felt a chill on his back. Just now he thought Wei Yuhuan was easy to talk to, but now he felt that Wei Yuhuan was a bad guy. He felt like he was caught in a net and could only do what the other party asked.

No wonder the ancients said that it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain; it is better to offend a rich person than to offend a rich person with a narrow mind - because when they get serious, they can really take your life!

Woohoo…
