"Of course, before that, I will punish myself with three cups."
As soon as the words in Krich's mouth fell, he drank three glasses of wine by himself without hesitation.
Immediately, after eating two chopsticks of delicacies with a smile, he picked up his wine glass again and gestured to Zhang Kuang and the others.
"Brother Song, Marshal Zhang, Marshal Nangong, generals, from now on we will not return until we are drunk."
"Haha, hahaha, brother Crich, you are so happy and generous, cheers."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Then I'll drink him till I get drunk. Cheers."
"Let's drink together. Let's drink together."
"Let's drink together and cheers."
In the blink of an eye, a large group of people were all smiling and drinking happily.
When Creech signed and sealed the document, it meant that Mr. Liu's intention to establish a joint chamber of commerce had been officially determined.
The matter of establishing the joint chamber of commerce has been officially finalized, which means that the business between them has been completed.
For a time, whether it was Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye and their group, or Krich's side, the mood between both parties became relaxed.
As for the reason why I feel relaxed, it is naturally self-evident.
On the one hand, it is because he has successfully completed the task assigned by Master Liu, and on the other hand, it is because he has achieved the results he has always expected.
Compared to the relaxed mood of Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha and the others, Krich's mood at the moment was not only relaxed, but also more exciting.
Mr. Liu had promised himself before that when the Joint Chamber of Commerce was officially established, he would serve as the president of the Joint Chamber of Commerce.
Creech knew very well in his heart how important the position of president of the United Chamber of Commerce was.
When he assumes the position of president of the United Chamber of Commerce, it means that his side has a real foothold in all the kingdoms of the Western countries.
That's right, not only in the royal city of Dashi Kingdom, but also in all the kingdoms of the Western countries, he has a real foundation.
President of the United Chamber of Commerce, President of the Chamber of Commerce.
From now on, I no longer have to be humble and flattering when asking for help.
Kerridge's current mood can be said to be as comfortable as he wants.
The psychological pressure that had gradually accumulated in his heart due to various previous reasons was completely swept away at this moment.
After a while, the atmosphere above the wine table became lively again.
A large group of people present were toasting each other with drinks while talking and laughing about some anecdotes they had heard recently.
Crich, in particular, refused to accept anyone who came.
No matter who wanted to drink with him, he would offer him a drink without hesitation with a smile on his face.
"Brother Crich, I have to say that your drinking capacity is quite good!"
"Brother Song, little brother, I'm just trying not to get drunk, and I'm making you laugh."
"Haha, hahaha, you are humble, you are humble again!
Come, come, let us brothers have another drink."
"Brother Song, please do it first as a courtesy."
"Brother Huyan, the last time we brothers had a drink, I lost to you because I had already had a drink in the morning.
Today we two brothers are drinking together, brother, I have to get the place back.
Come, come, let us two brothers have another good fight."
Hu Yanyu raised his eyebrows, looked at Ning Chao diagonally across from him with a smile, bent down and lifted a jar of wine from the ground that had just been wiped off the seal.
"Hehehe, brother Ning, you have to think clearly.
Not only did you lose to me in a drinking contest last time, but before that you also lost to me in two consecutive drinking contests!
Are you sure you want to continue drinking with me today?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
After Ning Chao laughed a few times, he patted his stomach gently a few times, and then like Hu Yanyu, he directly lifted a jar of unopened wine from the ground.
Immediately, he raised his hand and slapped the mud on the wine jar.
There was a muffled bang.
The sealing mud on the wine jar fell down in response.
"Brother Huyan, I won't hide anything from you either.
In the past few months, brother, when I am not on duty, I have been secretly practicing my drinking ability in private!"
"Oh? So what?"
"So, brother, I've been working hard on my drinking ability for several months, and of course I'm going to get my place back today."
Hu Yanyu saw the dissatisfied expression on Ning Chao's face, and after nodding happily a few times, he casually moved the wine glass at hand and replaced it with the big bowl he used to eat vegetables.
"Brother Ning, if you are ambitious, let's drink?"
"Drink! You must drink!"
Cheng Kai saw the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. He immediately stretched out his hand happily and picked up the wine jar that Hu Yanyu placed on the table.
"Brother Huyan, you have trouble with one hand, brother, let me help you pour the wine."
"Brother Cheng, I'll help you."
"Hey, everything fits as it should."
"Old Ning, you have lost three games in a row before. If you lose to Brother Huyan again today, it will be a big shame!"
"Hahaha, Lao Ning, Brother Huyan grew up drinking cattle and horses from Northern Xinjiang. We won't be embarrassed if we lose."
"Go, go away, stay here while you all talk nonsense here.
You guys know shit, I, General, am getting more courageous with every setback.
Just like what our Majesty said to our brothers before, you have to get up from where you fell."
"Ahaha, hahahaha, our Majesty also told us that it feels really comfortable to lie down after a fall!"
Following Cheng Kai, Han Peng, and others, they started to make noises to each other.
Hu Yanyu and Ning Chao started drinking together.
"Drink! Drink! Drink!"
"Old Ning, don't be afraid, keep drinking."
"Brother Huyan, Lao Ning is about to die. If you push harder, he will fall."
Because Hu Yanyu and the two were drinking together, the atmosphere at the wine table became more and more lively and high.
Fortunately, what a large group of people said before that they would never return until they were drunk was just words.
No matter how they drank or how much they drank, everyone was holding on to their final sobriety.
Even Hu Yanyu and Ning Chao, who were drinking with each other, were the same.
Time passed quietly.
Suddenly, it was past noon.
The sun under the clear blue sky outside the window is also gradually deflecting.
Finally, when the banquet in the elegant room started to end, no one at the table was really drunk.
??????55.??????
Even Hu Yanyu and Ning Chao, who had drank three jars of wine in a row, were still moving forward retaining the last bit of sobriety.
On the long street outside the restaurant, several horse-drawn carriages slowly moved away, gradually blending into the crowds of pedestrians coming and going on the street.
Krich withdrew his gaze, staggered and took a deep breath of alcohol.
Climmon, who was standing aside, saw his father's swaying body, almost unsteady on his feet, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Crich's arm.
"Dad, how are you? Are you okay?"
After Krich shook his head vigorously, he turned to look at his eldest son, Crimimon, who looked worried, and chuckled happily.
"Haha, hahaha."
"Son, as a father, I have nothing to do. As a father, I have nothing to do with you.
Come on, let’s get in the carriage first.”
"Hey, okay, dad, come this way, please slow down."
After Climmon helped Crich sit firmly in the carriage, he leaned over and waved to Orr, who was sitting outside the carriage.
"Uncle Al, let's go."
"Yes, I understand."
"drive!"
Following Al's soft drink, the carriage slowly creaked forward.
With a worried look in his eyes, Climmon lifted the teapot on the low table and poured a cup of herbal tea. He then directly picked up the teacup and handed it to Krich.
"Dad, please drink a cup of herbal tea to refresh yourself."
After Krich opened his mouth and took a few deep breaths, he cheerfully reached out and took the teacup from Crimimon, took out the book from his arms and handed it to Crimimon.
in front of me.
When Climmon saw the document handed to him by his father, his eyes instantly flashed with clearly visible excitement.
"Dad, is it done?"
Seeing the excited look on his eldest son's face, Crich nodded with a smile and took a sip of the herbal tea in his hand, then directly slapped the document in Climmon's hand.
"Yes, it's done, it's done!
Son, from now on, I, you, your second brother, and your third, fourth, fifth and sixth brothers who are still in our Roman country.
From now on, we men will no longer have to flatter everyone and beg for help in a humble manner."
Listening to his father's tone full of emotion, Climmon hurriedly opened the document in his hand and read the contents carefully.
From the first page to the last page.
When he saw the seals of the Grand Marshal of the Army on the left and the Grand Marshal of the Army on the right on the last page of the document, as well as his father's name and personal seal, the expression on his face suddenly changed.
I became uncontrollably excited.
"father!"
"father!"
"Dad, God is wise. The path you chose after enduring huge losses and all kinds of pressure was a right bet after all!"
Creech put down the teacup in his hand with a sighing look on his face, took out the tobacco bag from his waist, and lit a pot of tobacco in a very skillful manner.
"Mi Meng, would you like a pot?"
"Dad, me! This, this, this, this!"
"You damn boy are pretending to be a father to me. I already knew you were infected.
Since you are already infected, let's smoke it.
I think back then, when we were dealing with the caravan owners from the Dalong Celestial Dynasty, we had to have a pot or two of dry smoke occasionally.
Now, we men are about to enter the Western Expedition Army of the Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty. This circle of many important generals will naturally be indispensable in the future.
However, as a father, I still have to give you a warning.
Although tobacco can relieve fatigue and relieve stress, it does not mean that it is a good thing.
If your kid hasn't really caught it now, he'll naturally touch it as little as possible in the future."
Climmon clasped the tip of his nose with his fingers, looked at his father and sneered several times.
"Dad, when dealing with my caravan from the Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty, tobacco, tea, and alcohol are all unavoidable!"
Come on!
When Kerridge heard his eldest son say this, he still didn't understand what was going on.
"You, come and have a pot."
"Thank you daddy."
Creech took a deep breath of dry smoke, stretched out his hand to lift the small curtain above the window, and looked out of the carriage with melancholy eyes.
"Mimon."
"The baby is here, dad?"
"My child, the United Chamber of Commerce has been established, and the day when our Kerry family will rise is just around the corner.
But...but..."
Climmon frowned slightly and quickly turned his head and blew out a puff of smoke.
"Dad, but what?"
"My child, there is a saying in Dalong Celestial Dynasty that if you gain something, you should also lose something.
As a father, I have reached this point, so it is inevitable that I will have to do this."
"father!"
"Mimeng, please listen to what I have to say first."
"Yes, Dad, please continue talking, my child is listening!"
Crich lowered the small curtain above the carriage window and happily turned his gaze to Crimimon.
"Mi Meng, as a father, I have discussed many matters with your mother in detail a few days ago regarding the establishment of a joint merchant.
Your mother loves you the most. If I hadn't told you what I expected as a father, your mother would have told you all the discussions between the two of us.
How about it, as a father, I must have guessed correctly, right?"
Seeing his father's smiling face, Climmon nodded silently.
"Reply to Dad, you are right, mother has indeed told the child."
Creech nodded with a slight smile, reached out to pick up the tea cup on the low table, nodded slightly and took a sip of the herbal tea in the cup.
"Xu."
Krich breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at Climmon opposite him with complex eyes.
"Son, since your mother has already told you, as a father, I will not continue to waste my words.
Child, do you know?
This kind of life is always full of helplessness and will not give you a chance to choose.
I have lived as a father for most of my life, and I don’t want to choose to be a dog.
It's a pity that as a father, I have no choice but to take this path.
As a father, I also want to take another path, but I have no choice at all!
If you choose to be a dog, you at least have a chance to live on.
Otherwise, you will not even be qualified to continue living.
It's better to be a dog than not to be a human, right?"
