Chapter 54: A Thousand Cups of Wine Are Not Enough When Meeting a Good Friend
After becoming the patriarch, Qin Mo also had a residence in the tribe.
It is a small wooden courtyard located next to the ancestral temple. It was originally inhabited by the previous clan leader, but it has been empty since the former clan leader was killed by a monster.
It was not until two days ago that the great wizard arranged for people to clean it up.
A little shabby.
Qin Mo didn't mind, since he didn't live there permanently anyway, so he invited the great wizard to his home for advice.
Because no one had lived there for a long time, there was a musty smell in the house, so Qin Mo simply led the wizard to sit in the yard. The yard was not big, with a big red date tree planted in the corner, and a stone table and stone bench under the tree.
The surface of the stone table is as smooth as a mirror, but also has some bumps.
Qin Mo guessed that the previous clan leader was also a man with a bad temper, who would pound the table at every turn, which led to so many big holes.
Fortunately, the stone is hard and has survived to this day.
Qin Mo looked around but didn't see a well, so he naturally couldn't make tea. It was not in accordance with the hospitality rules. After thinking about it, he took out two wine glasses and a gourd from the dimensional space.
They are all extraordinary things.
The wine glasses are carved from the finest jade, and there are only four of them in total; the wine gourds are also old items that have been specially treated, specially used to hold wine, and can also preserve the aroma of the wine, keeping it new for a long time.
In addition to the ones he had at home, Qin Mo later made ten large jars of medicinal wine in the warehouse.
The last two jars even contained ginseng.
The raw liquor used for making wine has also changed from the original cheap shochu to the sky-high priced Maotai.
He spent millions just on buying alcohol.
In his previous life, Qin Mo did not have many hobbies except for his interest in fine wine. Since coming to Blue Star, he knew what the finest wines in the world were and he would drink a sip whenever he had time.
So delicious...
After the great wizard sat down, he felt a little apologetic at first, as he thought the accommodation he had arranged for Qin Mo was a bit shabby and there wasn't even a proper place to entertain guests.
Just as he was blaming himself, he saw Qin Mo taking out the wine.
The Moutai liquor soaked with ginseng and tiger bones has a unique reddish color. When the cork is opened, a mellow and rich aroma of the liquor spreads in the courtyard. When it is poured into a jade wine glass, it is as crystal clear as amber.
There is still wine hanging on it.
"Gudong..."
The great wizard swallowed quietly.
"Please!" Qin Mo raised his glass.
The great wizard picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He intuitively smelled the aroma of the wine, which went straight into his soul. His body felt warm and hot, as if he was floating in the air.
I was intoxicated by it unconsciously.
I drank it all in one gulp, but still felt unsatisfied.
The great wizard was also a wonderful person. He smiled and said, "A banquet cannot be held without wine and food. You wait here. I'll be back soon." Without waiting for Qin Mo to reply, he stood up and left.
If the great wizard doesn't drink a few sips of such good wine, his life would be in vain.
He is also a wine lover.
Looking at the empty space opposite, Qin Mo smiled bitterly, but he was also happy to have found someone like him.
Wine,
It tastes better when we drink it together.
…
After a while, the great wizard returned, holding a large food box in his hand. He opened it, took out more than a dozen side dishes, and spread them all over the stone table, with an overwhelming momentum of "not leaving until drunk".
Qin Mo took a glance and was stunned.
"What are these?"
Deep-fried scorpion, charcoal-grilled bear paw, braised ox tongue, braised pig tail, braised pheasant, braised venison...
Qin Mo's appetite was whetted, and the two of them ate and drank happily, eating and drinking to each other. There was no difference in status or position between them, and they became a pair of drinking buddies regardless of age.
There is a feeling that we met too late.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Qin Mo finally remembered the main business and asked, "Great Wizard, can the people of the Three Kingdoms subcontinent be led to settle in the tribe?"
If you want to increase the population of your tribe, natural growth is not the way to go.
There are no bandits or refugees in the mountains on the Kyushu continent. If there really are any, they have been fed to the tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves, and it is not Qin Mo's turn to deal with them.
After much thought, it seems that the only way to divert traffic is from the Three Kingdoms subcontinent.
The great wizard, however, had a good alcohol tolerance. He drank half a pound of wine without showing any signs of pain. His face did not even turn red. He was clear-headed and replied, "You are the clan leader. As long as you open the teleportation permission, then it will be fine."
It would be great if you can!
Given Qin Mo's status and connections in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, it should not be difficult for him to abduct a thousand people.
However, it would take some thought to feed the three thousand clansmen. Qin Mo had previously been solely responsible for the food of the Royal Guard Battalion, and he was well aware of the pros and cons involved.
"Then...can our clansmen go to the Three Kingdoms subcontinent?" Qin Mo asked curiously.
"No!" The great wizard shook his head, "This goes against our ancestral teachings. Only aliens can travel freely."
What ancestral teachings...
It's all God's fault.
"Great wizard, can I expel the other strange people in the tribe?" Qin Mo pondered, wanting to speed up the construction of the tribe, it would be best if he could use real machines.
That way, players can’t see it. Especially those who have quit the game, who knows if they will suddenly come online on a whim one day, and if they run into it, it will be exposed.
Qin Mo didn't dare to take the risk.
"No." The great wizard shook his head again. "Strange people who have descended from the sky cannot be expelled unless they leave on their own. What are you going to expel them for?"
"Nothing, I just asked casually." Qin Mo smiled bitterly.
Sure enough, it still doesn’t work.
…
While Qin Mo and the great wizard were chatting, the aroma of wine had already spread throughout the tribe.
Hooked out a few wine bugs.
Blacksmith Wang Dachui was known as a drunkard. He smelled it first, walked out of the shop, came to the martial arts hall next door, and said to Zhao Gang, "Do you smell it?"
"Wine, good wine." Zhao Gang said firmly.
"Where did it come from?" Wang Dachui asked.
"I just saw the great wizard carrying a food box and going to the clan leader's house." Tailor Du San walked in like a ghost, no one knew when.
"Then, let's go and take a look?" Wang Dachui was eager to try.
"That's not a good idea." Du San pretended, "Maybe the clan leader is discussing something important with the great wizard."
"Just take a look, it 's nothing ." Wang Dachui was unwilling.
Zhao Gang showed his attitude through his actions and was the first to go out...
"Wait for me!" Wang Dachui hurried to catch up.
"You guys have no sense of decency." Tailor Du shook his head and followed them.
The three drunkards followed the smell of wine and soon arrived outside the gate of Qin Mo's courtyard. As expected, they saw the clan leader toasting with the great wizard, their mouths watering with greed.
But he didn't dare to rush in rashly.
The great wizard still has a very high prestige in the tribe, and even the hunting team leader Zhao Gang dare not say a word.
“Ahem~~~”
Wang Dachui was alert and coughed loudly a few times on purpose.
Qin Mo looked in the direction of the voice and saw three people standing at the gate with drooling faces. He felt amused and said from a distance, "Since you are passing by, come in and have a drink."
"Why!!!"
The three of them ran faster than rabbits and grabbed the seats.
Tailor Du lowered his posture a little, and the only two empty seats were taken by Wang Dachui and Du San. With embarrassment on his face, he rolled his eyes, went into the room, moved a stool himself, and sat down next to Wang Dachui.
In the middle of the meal, he cleverly went to the kitchen and brought back three large bowls.
With just a glance, Tailor Du noticed that the wine glass used by the patriarch was unusual.
As expected of a tailor, he has a keen eye.
Qin Mo was just worrying about not having enough cups to share, so now it was all right. He poured wine for each of the three people, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "With this drink, we are officially acquainted. I will have to rely on you guys more in the future."
"You're too polite, Patriarch!"
The three of them were so anxious that they picked up their bowls and drank them all in one gulp.
“…”
Qin Mo's face twitched. This was a top-grade wine, how could it withstand such drinking? But seeing the three people staring at him eagerly, he had to bear the pain and take out another gourd of wine.
Everyone is happy.
The five drunkards kept drinking until it was almost dark , and they were only satisfied after they had finished drinking all the drinks Qin Mo had. The looks they gave Qin Mo were extremely friendly.
"Look at what you have become!" The great wizard was also drunk. Unable to bear the old man's strong alcohol tolerance, he drank for the whole afternoon without blushing, so he scolded with a stern face.
So shameful.
The three of them chuckled and slipped away.
"Excuse me!" The great wizard was really ashamed.
Qin Mo didn't care and said with a smile: "They are all true to their nature. So, I will bring more wine tomorrow." No need for Moutai, ordinary liquor will be enough.
"It's because of this." The great wizard felt even more sorry, paused, and said, "Can you bring me some?"
“…”
