Chapter 55: After three rounds of wine, the host and the guest enjoyed themselves (please read it!
Li Caiwei’s sudden appearance made the smiles on their faces awkward.
The two of them laughed and said in unison: “It’s nothing, haha…”
Li Caiwei naturally didn’t believe these two men’s lies. She rolled her eyes at them and then said, “The food and drinks are ready.”
“Hahaha, I can finally drink wine and eat meat. I’ve been hungry for a long time.” Shi Lei laughed.
Immediately, the three of them came to a small hall.
I saw a round table placed in the middle of the small hall, on which were already placed plates of delicacies that were both delicious and delicious.
Braised tenderloin, spicy tripe, eight-treasure wild duck, Kung Pao hare, colorful beef tenderloin, lotus tofu…
Just one glance made Song Jie unable to help but swallow his saliva.
“Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are really amazing!” Song Jie gave Li Caiwei a thumbs up.
Since he and Shi Lei have already called him brothers, it would be awkward to call him fellow Daoist Li again.
Li Caiwei was stunned for a moment when she heard Song Jie calling her sister-in-law.
On weekdays, I am used to hearing “fellow Daoist Li”, but suddenly I heard the word “sister-in-law”, which was really a bit unaccustomed to me.
For a moment, Li Caiwei didn’t know what to say, so she just said: “Come on, eat it while it’s hot. It won’t taste good when it gets cold.”
“Come on, brother Song, sit down quickly. Let’s fill up the wine first and have a drink first, hahaha…”
Shi Lei asked Song Jie to sit down, and then immediately filled the three people’s wine glasses with spiritual brew.
“Come, let the three of us have a drink first.”
Shi Lei took the lead in raising his glass, followed closely by Song Jie and Li Caiwei.
The three of them touched the wall of the cup lightly and poured the wine into their bellies together.
“Good wine!”
Song Jie couldn’t help but shout loudly.
Just like he doesn’t know how to taste tea, Song Jie doesn’t know how to taste wine.
The moment he swallowed the wine, he felt as if his throat was on fire, burning.
Immediately afterwards, the line of fire slid down from the throat to the abdomen.
After a while, I felt warm all over my body, and the spiritual power in my Dantian reacted instantly and became active.
Somehow, Song Jie had a feeling that practicing after drinking this wine would slightly increase his training speed.
That’s why he couldn’t help shouting the word “good wine”. It wasn’t that he thought the wine was delicious, but that the wine had miraculous effects.
“Hahaha…” Shi Lei laughed, “Brother Song seems to be a person who knows how to drink.
“Brother, this is a spiritual brew that I have treasured for a long time. It has the effect of assisting cultivation.
“Don’t go back tonight, just continue practicing immediately after drinking. This will have the best effect.
“It won’t be too late to go back until the practice ends tomorrow morning.”
“That won’t disturb my elder brother and sister-in-law’s rest, right~”
Song Jie blinked, thinking that Shi Lei and Li Caiwei had probably finished their business last night and would probably have a truce for the night.
“How is that possible? As long as Brother Song doesn’t dislike this place, it’s shabby.”
“Of course not. Brother Shi’s house is much better than where I live now.”
For monks, as long as they have a sheltered place, they can meditate and practice.
Of course, it would be best if you could be in a training room with a spirit gathering formation.
Unfortunately, the arrangement of the spirit gathering formation in Fang City requires approval from the Fang City Management Office, and private arrangement is not allowed.
After all, the essence of the spirit gathering formation is to plunder the surrounding spiritual energy. If you have more spiritual energy, others will have less spiritual energy.
That’s why Fang City strictly prohibits private arrangement of spirit gathering formations. Anyone who violates this will be directly expelled from Fang City and banned from moving in for life.
After changing glasses, Song Jie and Shi Lei were both a little tipsy after drinking for three rounds.
Li Caiwei had a few drinks because she was not strong enough to drink.
By the end of the day, the table was in a mess, all the delicacies on the plate had been eaten, and the wine in the pot had bottomed out.
This meal was a feast for both the guest and the host.
After having had enough wine and food, Song Jie and Shi Lei didn’t waste any time. They just meditated in the small hall with the remaining sobriety.
I couldn’t help but marvel at the magic of this spiritual brew.
It’s a pity that this spiritual brew is wine after all. You can’t drink it too often. Too much wine will harm your health. This is the same for monks in the Qi refining stage.
A night without words…
The next morning.
Song Jie slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and exited from the cultivation state.
Almost at the same time, Shi Lei also ended his training.
“Brother Song, how do you feel about practicing this night?”
Song Jie felt his cultivation level and estimated, “It’s worth the two nights of cultivation in the past. Thanks to Brother Shi for his spiritual brew.”
“Hahaha… It’s a pity that this spiritual brew can only be drunk occasionally. If you drink it too often, it will do more harm than good.”
“You have finished practicing. Come and have some porridge.”
Li Caiwei held a tray in her hand with two bowls of preserved egg and lean meat porridge made from spiritual rice.
After she cleared the dishes on the table last night, she went back to her room to practice.
Today I also finished my practice early in the morning and went to prepare breakfast.
“Sister-in-law is so virtuous, Brother Shi is so lucky~”
Li Caiwei said with a smile in her eyes: “Brother Song is almost old enough to find a Taoist companion, but would you like my sister-in-law to introduce you to a few?”
After drinking several cups of spiritual brew last night, Li Caiwei also changed her name to Song Jie.
“With Brother Song’s current reputation, he can indeed look for a Taoist companion.
“I wonder if brother Song has any special requirements for Taoist companions? Brother, I can also help you introduce them.”
Shi Lei gained a lot of face for himself because of Li Caiwei’s performance last night and this morning, and his face was glowing red at this time.
On weekdays, the couple usually take turns doing these chores at home, and Li Caiwei is not entirely responsible for them.
When guests come, Li Caiwei will give Shi Lei some face, and Shi Lei will compensate Li Caiwei well afterwards.
Therefore, the couple has been married for many years, and their relationship has always been harmonious, with few quarrels.
“There is no need to rush Taoist companions’ matters. Everything is left to chance, haha…”
Song Jie felt that his focus now should be on improving his cultivation and earning spiritual stones.
As long as they can break through to a higher realm, a monk’s life span will be very long, so there is no need to rush to find a Taoist companion early.
Therefore, in Song Jie’s view, seeking the path to immortality is far more important than finding a Taoist companion.
Of course, if he is lucky enough to meet a woman who makes his heart beat wildly, Song Jie will fight for her.
“It can be seen that Brother Song is a man with great ambitions.” Shi Lei laughed.
After finishing breakfast, Li Caiwei went to the stall.
Because I made an appointment with Ni Qinghong to go to the housing leasing and sales office to go through the sublet procedures together today.
So Song Jie didn’t rush home, but continued to sit at Shi Lei’s place for a while.
When the time was almost up, he stood up and said goodbye to Shi Lei.
“Brother Shi, I made an appointment with Daoyou Ni to go through the subletting procedures, so I left first.”
“It doesn’t matter, we will be neighbors from now on, and there will be plenty of opportunities to communicate. Brother Song, just go ahead.
“If you need help with the move then, don’t be polite to me~”
While drinking and eating meat last night, Li Caiwei mentioned that Song Jie was about to move here.
Shi Lei was naturally very happy about this and welcomed Song Jie to move here.
“Okay, thank you, Brother Shi!”
After the two said goodbye to each other, Song Jie left Shi Lei’s home, turned around, and walked to the door of the next door house.
He raised his hand and gently moved the door bowl.
