This side hall is not large, with a marble round table in the middle and eight seats placed around it. The interior of the hall is elegantly decorated, with luxurious furnishings on all sides, and glazed lamps hanging high from the top make the entire hall very bright.
This room is where guests are entertained and drank in the "Happy Island" casino.
Everyone walked into the hall, Hua Bushi turned around and said to Hu Yanju, the casino butler "Snowflake Swordsman": "Xiao Ke wants to bet his drinking capacity with this dear friend here, can you please ask Brother Hu Yan to order some people to move it?" Put a jar of fine wine on this table?"
Hu Yanju asked: "What kind of wine would Mr. Hua want to drink?"
Hua Bushi said: "As long as the best wine is brought up."
Hu Yanju said: "There are several jars of 'Ner'erhong' that have been hidden for thirty years in the warehouse. They were transported directly from the cellar of a time-honored restaurant in Shaoxing. I wonder if this suits Mr. Hua's wishes?"
Hua Bushi nodded and said, "That's very good."
He turned around and asked the rogue man: "I wonder if your brother can drink this wine?"
The naughty man said: "As long as it's wine, I can drink it, it doesn't matter!"
Hua Bushi stroked his palm and said, "Brother, you are indeed generous."
Ten jars of "Nerve Red" were brought up and placed on the table, occupying most of the marble tabletop. In addition to the wine jar, two large ocean bowls were also brought, and six seats beside the table were removed, leaving only The next two are placed one on the left and one on the right.
Hua Bushi said: "This method is simpler than drinking. It's just you and me having a bowl each and seeing who can drink more. Whoever drinks more will win. But since we win with wine, there are still a few things we can do to win." Rules must be stated in advance.”
The naughty man said: "What are the rules?"
Hua Bushi said: "The first rule is that you and I cannot leave this table before the winner is determined. If anyone drinks half of the drink and leaves, he will be considered a loser."
The naughty man said: "It should be so. If you drink a few bowls and then go to the toilet behind and throw them up, of course you can't count them."
Hua Bushi said: "The second rule is that once the wine is drunk, it can only be kept in the stomach and cannot be vomited out or expelled from the body in any way. I know that my brother's internal strength is so strong that he can use his true energy to drink it. The wine that enters the stomach is guided to a certain acupuncture point and is excreted from the body. If that happens, it is considered a loss."
The naughty man said: "Then what happens if you urinate due to an emergency?"
Hua Bushi said: "That's considered a loss. If brother, if you are in a hurry, you can go ahead and take advantage of it now. If you pee after entering the gambling game, you will be considered a loser."
The naughty man chuckled and said, "I'm just asking, if you don't have a pee, you need to pee."
Hua Bushi said: "The third rule is that you and I are sitting at the table and drinking. If anyone can't drink or falls to the ground drunk, he loses."
The rogue man said: "That's natural."
Hua Bushi said: "As for the bet, if your brother wins, you can take my life. Xiao Ke will not hesitate. And if I win by chance, I will not take my life, as long as you agree to marry Xiao Ke." How about being a friend?"
The rogue man said: "You are talking about becoming friends, but are there any other conditions?"
Hua Bushi said: "Since we are friends, the most important thing is knowing each other, without any additional conditions. If he wants to meet me, if you are happy, you can call me friend. If you are not happy, it doesn't matter if you ignore Xiaoke, and Xiaoke I will never force my brother to do anything for me."
The rogue man said: "In that case, wouldn't you suffer a loss by placing this bet?"
Hua Bushi said: "Xiongtai is a hero of the world, and Xiaoke is just a weak scholar who doesn't know martial arts. If I can become friends with Xiongtai, even if I bet on Xiaoke's life, I don't feel that I am at a loss."
The rogue man said: "Okay, since you are willing, I don't have to say anything, let's get started!"
The two sat down on the seats. There was a waiter at the table who was dedicated to pouring wine. He patted the mud seal on the wine jar and poured wine into two celadon sea bowls. The volume of these sea bowls was quite large, enough to hold half a catty of wine. liquor.
"Ner'erhong" is originally a fine wine from the south of the Yangtze River, and the old wine that has been stored in the cellar for thirty years is extremely fragrant. For a moment, the wine in the hall is fragrant, and just smelling it seems to be intoxicating.
Hua Bushi sat face to face with the naughty man at the table. Of the two men, one was dressed luxuriously, with gold and jade on his head and fingers, and looked like a wealthy young man, while the other was wearing a fat mandarin with his chest exposed. With their bellies exposed and tattered straw sandals on their feet, they were all disheveled and slovenly. The two people were completely opposite in their dress and demeanor. Sitting together, one glance made people feel indescribably weird and out of place.
Shen Ying'er's beautiful eyes were as bright as stars, staring at them closely. She suddenly realized that the two people sitting at the table seemed to have a certain temperament in common. The handsome and dandy young master's appearance and the slovenly appearance of the naughty man. In fact, they are all false appearances to deceive others. One of them has unparalleled martial arts skills, the other has unparalleled intelligence, and both are rare heroes. At this time, they are sitting at the table, facing each other tit for tat, and their behavior seems to be extraordinary and equal.
Hua Bushi reached for the wine bowl, raised it in front of him, said "please!" and drank it in one gulp.
The naughty man didn't show any weakness, he grabbed the wine bowl and brought it to his mouth, and drank it straight in.
After finishing the bowl, the waiter at the table took the wine jar and poured wine into the bowl. Once the wine was full, the two of them picked up the wine bowl and drank again without hesitation. It didn't take long for them to finish the drink. After five bowls of wine, one of the ten jars of "Nv'erhong" on the table was empty, leaving nine jars.
The five bowls of wine, totaling more than three kilograms, were poured into the rogue man's mouth. Except that his round belly seemed to be slightly larger, there were no other changes, and there was no trace of drunkenness on his face, just like these five. The bowl of strong liquor was filled with water.
Hua Bushi's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't know where the wine he drank went.
He looked at the person opposite and said with a smile: "Brother, I have a good drinker, I admire you!"
The naughty man said: "Master Hua has a good drinking capacity. I really underestimated you before!"
Hua Bushi said: "Brother, thank you for the prize, let's drink again!"
While they were talking, the waiter had already filled the bowl with wine, and the two of them picked up the bowls and continued to pour wine.
The second wine jar was also empty, and both the naughty man and Hua Bushi drank ten large bowls of strong liquor. The two people's expressions remained unchanged, and their movements of holding the bowls and drinking were still very clean and neat, no different from before. There was no hint of drunkenness on their bodies.
Ten sea bowls of wine weigh at least seven or eight kilograms. Even if this much water is poured into the stomach, it is still quite large. From the outside, the stomachs of the two of them are indeed swollen, especially that of the naughty man. The round belly was exposed, which was already very conspicuous, but now it was even more protruding, like a woman who was pregnant in ten months.
The expression of the drinker did not change, but the faces of everyone watching showed expressions of surprise, especially Shen Ying'er, who could hardly believe her eyes.
Shen Ying'er knew Hua Bushi very well. They were both disciples of the martial arts sect in Wuyang City, and she had attended many banquets with Hua Bushi in the past. She knew that this young master of Hua University was in frail health, and although he could barely manage After one or two drinks, his drinking capacity was extremely poor, even compared to her own. But today, when he was gambling, he drank ten large bowls of spirits in one go, and he actually looked like he was fine. It was simply incredible. !
Could it be that he has been pretending not to be able to drink, but in fact he has the capacity to drink a thousand drinks without getting drunk?
Hua Bushi held the wine bowl, looked at the naughty man opposite, and said leisurely: "You and I have each drank a jar of wine, brother, can we continue?"
The naughty man snorted and said: "It's just a jar of wine, what's the big deal? I can drink three or five jars of wine, it won't be a problem!"
Having said that, everyone knows that no one can really drink three or five jars of wine. No matter how good the drinker is, a person's belly is not that big. According to the rules of gambling, you can only go in but not out. You really have to be tough. After pouring dozens of kilograms of wine, my stomach would burst.
After drinking from the fifteen-sea bowl, when the third wine jar was emptied, the two people's movements slowed down.
Their stomachs have swelled to the limit and can hardly hold it anymore. Now every mouthful of wine is poured into their mouths, and it is extremely difficult to swallow, both of them. What is strange is that although their respective faces have The blue veins protruded, showing the intention of holding on, but he was still not drunk at all. If it weren't for the strong aroma of wine filling the room, everyone would have thought that the "Happy Island" sold fake wine, and those ten The wine jar is filled with pure water.
Sixteen bowls, seventeen bowls, eighteen bowls...
The twentieth bowl of wine was in their hands, and the faces of the two people clearly showed expressions of pain. Everyone in the hall also stared with their eyes wide open, their mouths opened wide, and their faces were filled with expressions of disbelief. They had never I have seen people who can drink so much wine. Looking at the round and protruding bellies of the two people at the table, everyone is wondering whether there are two large wine barrels hidden under their bellies.
"Wait a minute!" The rogue man suddenly put down his wine bowl and said sternly, "What is that in your hand?"
Hua Bushi said in astonishment: "What is in Xiaoke's hand is a wine bowl."
The rogue man said: "Nonsense! I'm talking about your left hand, what's hidden in it!"
With a sudden flash of his body, he jumped in front of Hua Bushi and stretched out his hand to touch Diao Hua Bushi's left wrist.
Hua Bushi didn't know martial arts, so he couldn't escape. His wrist was immediately grabbed by the rogue man. Under the huge force, Hua Bushi's arm was sore and numb, and he could no longer hold the object in his palm. He let out a "dang" sound. It fell on the table, but it was a soybean-sized, black and shiny pill.
"What is this!" The rogue man glared and said angrily: "No wonder you can't get drunk even after drinking so much wine. It turns out you took this pill secretly!"
Hua Bushi's wrist was grabbed by the rogue man. He struggled twice but failed to move away. However, he said with a calm expression: "Yes, Xiao Ke just took this 'wine pill' to avoid being drunk. This pill is mixed with strong wine." Swallow it, and the strong wine will turn into pure water.”
The naughty man said: "You and I were betting on our drinking capacity, but you cheated by taking this pill. If you lose, you will have to pay for it with your life!"
