Zombies: Cultivating Immortality at Maoshan, Becoming Stronger by Doing Nothing

Chapter 434

Hua Lao Jiu found the name intriguing and smiled, saying, "Alright, from now on I'll call you brother. I've heard there's a place nearby that makes pretty good wine. Let me invite you to try it out and satisfy your craving for alcohol."

Hua Lao Jiu glanced at the other party, and without waiting for their reply, pulled Zhang Dadan away.

Zhang Dadan was completely bewildered from beginning to end, and he unwittingly approached the tavern, which was crowded with people.

The waiter came up, a white towel draped over his shoulder, and said, "I wonder what you two gentlemen need? Please feel free to tell me what you require."

Hua Lao Jiu said very skillfully, "Give me two bottles of your shop's signature wine."

The waiter nodded and said casually, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment, it'll be right there."

Zhang Dadan found it somewhat unbelievable that someone would offer him drinks on their first meeting; it seemed a bit too enthusiastic.

"Hua Lao Jiu, I feel this is not appropriate."

Hua Lao Jiu seemed to see through Zhang Dadan's thoughts: "I know you may have some doubts, but as the saying goes, no fight, no friendship. If we drink this cup, won't we become familiar with each other when we meet again in the future?"

Zhang Dadan thought about it and agreed. After all, there was nothing wrong with making friends. He was Zhang Dadan, after all. Making friends was nothing to be afraid of.

Soon, the waiter brought up two bottles of wine.

Hua Lao Jiu took a bottle for himself and also gave one to Zhang Dadan.

"drink."

Hua Lao Jiu picked up the bottle and took a big gulp.

Zhang Dadan was not a strong drinker and only took a small sip.

"Drink more. We're brothers after all. Let's drink until we drop tonight."

Hua Lao Jiu glanced at Zhang Dadan, then took another big gulp of his drink.

Zhang Dadan, not to be outdone, drank it down mouthful after mouthful, feeling a warm sensation in his stomach and a sense of wanting more.

Before long, Zhang Dadan's face turned red, and his speech became slurred.

"Brother, I feel a little dizzy."

When Hua Lao Jiu saw that Zhang Dadan was drunk, he smiled and said, "It's okay, keep drinking, we won't leave until we're drunk."

After saying that, I toasted him.

Zhang Dadan completely followed Hua Laojiu's lead and even toasted with him.

"Do you dare to stay overnight at the Ma Family Ancestral Hall? I'll bet you ten silver dollars."

Hua Lao Jiu made a bet with Zhang Da Dan.

Zhang Dadan was still in a daze when he heard this, so naturally he didn't refuse. He said, "I am Zhang Dadan, I'm not afraid of anything. It's just going to stay at the Ma family ancestral hall for one night, what's so difficult about that?"

Hua Lao Jiu looked at him and asked, "So you've agreed?"

What attracted Zhang Dadan was the ten silver dollars. With those ten silver dollars, he wouldn't have to worry about going anywhere.

"Of course I'll gamble. Ten dollars is too good to pass up."

Zhang Dadan continued drinking, exhaling a breath of alcohol.

Hua Lao Jiu glanced at Zhang Dadan, who seemed genuinely drunk. The Ma family was not one to be trifled with; who knew what might happen if they went there.

“Since you’ve agreed, let’s go all the way and meet at the Ma family ancestral hall at midnight.”

After Hua Lao Jiu finished speaking, he put down the wine. He had also drunk a lot, but he was not drunk.

Zhang Dadan nodded. He felt dizzy and lightheaded, and everything in front of him seemed to be swaying. He felt very uncomfortable.

"Did I drink too much?"

He stood up, his whole body swaying.

Hua Lao Jiu patted Zhang Dadan on the shoulder, saying that the liquor wasn't very strong and it would be fine in a while.

"Just wait a bit."

Seeing that the two guests had finished their drinks, the waiter said respectfully, "Gentlemen, would you like to settle the bill now?"

Hua Lao Jiu nodded, took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and placed them on the table, saying, "Take it. If there's any extra, consider it a tip."

The waiter nodded, his eyes lighting up at the sight of the silver. "Thank you so much, sir. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."
