This requirent ... stunned the entire room, leaving them speechless.
Three cups, each with two taels, totaling six taels of white liquor!
Even if it was top-quality Wuliangye and Moutai, six taels of liquor in one breath would be too much for a normal person to handle.
Moreover, dinner hadn't even started yet, everyone's stomachs were still empty, including Liu Zhizhong's!
Drinking six taels of white liquor on an empty stomach... what consequences might that bring?
Lu Yui cursed the Old bastard in her heart, wondering if this was a deliberate attempt to drink soone to death. Was he targeting Liu Zhizhong on purpose? Did he really think the Zhao family had no one left!?
Lu Yui was the first to object, yet she still maintained a smile, saying, "Hehe, my dear in-law, are you... joking? There is no such way of drinking..."
To her surprise, Zhang Zhengchang interrupted her, "Mother-in-law, I'm not joking. In such a formal setting, could I be joking?"
Just as Lu Yui was about to argue further, Du Yuesheng, who could hardly bear to watch, forced a smile and said, "Brother-in-law, hehe... Your demand is indeed a bit... How about Liu Zhizhong just drinks two cups?"
In reality, he was also pleased to see Liu Zhizhong in trouble and clean him up, only pretending to play the nice guy for now.
Well, why say anything more? It's all for the sake of Liu Zhizhong's attractive mother-in-law!
Lu Yui, a stunning beauty, who wouldn't like her? Zhang Zhengchang liked her, and so did Du Yuesheng!
Zhang Zhengchang lightly slamd the table, interrupting Du Yuesheng, and exclaid, "Du Yuesheng, stop beating around the bush! If the Zhang family and Liu Zhizhong want to resolve and ease their issues tonight, without these three cups, there's no need to talk further, nobody's words will work! We might as well not touch our chopsticks!"
After saying this, he stared straight at Liu Zhizhong, ignoring everyone else, focused solely on Liu Zhizhong.
That expression ant, I'm watching you drink, and you must drink!
This move from the Old bastard was truly domineering. If Liu Zhizhong didn't drink, nobody would eat!
Liu Zhizhong gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and then nodded, touching the two taels of liquor in front of him, and said, "Alright, since the Old secretary has said so, Liu Zhizhong has nothing more to say, I'll follow the senior leader's arrangent! I just hope that the senior leader can afterward..."
"Don't talk about hope, drink first!" Zhang Zhengchang interrupted Liu Zhizhong, pointing at the cup in front of him.
This deanor, this aura, worthy of a man who had been the domineering Mayor of Yangzhou for ten years, forcefully pouring drinks!
Liu Zhizhong didn't say anything further, he nodded and directly grabbed a large bowl. Pouring the first cup of white liquor in, he followed with two more cups, all poured into the large bowl.
He picked up the bowl and in front of everyone, he gulped it down.
This scene made Zhang Tianbao frown secretly, powerless to stop anything else.
Lu Yui felt very distressed, watching Liu Zhizhong's throat bobbing, she felt a choking and burning sensation in her own throat.
Poor guy, he really went all out! But indeed, what a manly display!
Thus, the mother-in-law's heart grew fierce, determined to aid Liu Zhizhong in his plan, certainly to deal with that Old bastard Zhang Zhengchang.
As for Du Yuesheng, his heart was both delighted and shocked. Damn it, Liu Zhizhong, you ssed with my plans, huh... Facing my brother-in-law, you got scared, right? Just you wait, this is just the appetizer, the real show is yet to co!
Zhang Zhengchang watched with a cold face, intently watching Liu Zhizhong drink, feeling an abnormal satisfaction in his heart.
You little bastard, you little rascal, falling into my Zhang Zhengchang's hands, you think you'll have it easy?
Without making you suffer, without making you pay a price, hehe… how could the Zhang family mbers let you go?
Once Liu Zhizhong finished drinking, he even turned the bowl upside down, showing it to Zhang Zhengchang, "Old secretary, three cups, I've finished them first!"
Zhang Zhengchang started clapping his hands.
Seeing this, Lu Yui along with Du Yuesheng and Zhang Tianbao, also started clapping.
After Zhang Zhengchang stopped, he nodded, "Hmm, the drinking culture in Yangzhou, it's really exciting. Liu Zhizhong, well done! Alright, let's not talk about anything else for now, let's get started. This food slls indeed delicious! Co on..."
Saying this, he was the first to pick up his chopsticks and reach for the food, signaling everyone else to start eating.
So, everyone really started to dig into the dishes.
The hot and cold stead local catfish and Old bastard, truly delectable, fragrant, tender, and incredibly moreish.
Zhang Zhengchang, Zhang Tianbao, and Du Yuesheng couldn't stop praising the food, they really enjoyed eating.
After eating for a short while, according to the culture of the drink table, wasn't it ti to drink again?
Lu Yui also secretly observed Liu Zhizhong, seeing that his face remained unchanged, his breathing normal, she finally felt reassured. This guy was physically strong and could probably hold on. Normally, Liu Zhizhong could handle about a jin of white liquor.
Though, she certainly wouldn't let Liu Zhizhong take the lead in proposing a toast, instead, she stood up holding her cup, smiled, and said, "My dear in-law, Secretary Du, Minister Zhang..."
Just as she started, Zhang Zhengchang put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said, "Mother-in-law, don't be agitated just yet…"
