Chapter 881 Banquet (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)
"Haha, come and drink, keep drinking!"
The yacht sailed slowly, and the drunken breeze blew into the restaurant. Everyone was sitting cross-legged on futons, surrounding the rectangular table, and it was very lively.
Fresh beef, cabbage, king oyster mushrooms, and mushrooms were boiling in the hot pot. Freshly cut sashimi and tofu with sauce were placed in front of him. Chairman Mochida held up a sake bottle and drunkenly asked Sakaki Makoto to pour wine:
"One more drink, one more drink!"
“I have something else to do in the afternoon”
"What could be more important than drinking!"
President Mochida slapped his chest, sweating profusely, and drank so hard that his tongue was full:
"I think back then, Ryunosuke could drink 10 of us to death!"
"If you have anything to do, wait until you've eaten and drank enough. This is your home. Just say a word and everything will be done for you!"
Unable to resist him, Sakaki could only watch the glass overflowing with sake, drink it all in one gulp, top it up again, and drink it all again.
after a while
He suddenly realized, no!
This President Mochida is a drunkard!
To drink with him, you have to come in standing and go out lying down!
"Take it easy."
Miss Miyano tugged on her boyfriend's sleeve and whispered in Sakaki's ear:
"Alcohol is ethanol. The human body requires two enzymes to metabolize ethanol, alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. These two enzymes are responsible for accelerating the metabolism of ethanol into carbon dioxide and water in the body. Moreover, excess heat is generated during alcohol metabolism. , heat will be discharged from the body in the form of sweat.”
"Look at President Mochida, the sweat is almost flowing down his face. How can you drink better than him?"
Sakaki pursed his lips. He also wanted to withdraw, but
President Mochida grabbed his arm with one hand and refused to let go, with a look in his eyes.
The excitement of revenge?
It seems that he was beaten to the ground by Ryuunosuke Sakaki many times in the past, and this time he came to take revenge on him.
A roll of eyes.
Sakaki Cheng believed that he was a mediocre drinker and could not be Shu Mengzi's opponent, so he changed his approach.
"President Mochida, I have something serious to discuss with you."
"What's up?"
After drinking a bottle of wine, President Mochida raised his eyebrows:
"We can wait until we finish drinking to talk about anything else!"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to speak out after drinking."
Shaking his head, Sakaki hurriedly asked:
"When I came back this time, I found that my home was spotless, but my parents haven't been back for many years. Is there someone in the village cleaning our home?"
"Um?"
President Mochida turned to look at Akiko Kiuchi sitting next to Miss Miyano:
"Akiko, I remember you seemed to like it back then. Ahem, did you help clean it?"
Akiko Kiuchi's cheeks turned red while she was eating sashimi, and she quickly denied:
"It's not me. I just occasionally help Ryunosuke and his family weed the yard."
"Talk about it"
Uncle Takeda, who runs the supermarket across the table, put down his glass and said:
"Two weeks ago, I saw a woman coming out of Ryunosuke's house. I thought it was a thief at first, but after asking, I found out that she was a cleaning staff. Someone hired her to clean here twice a month."
"Isn't it the person you hired, Xiao Cheng?"
"How is this possible?"
Sakaki shrugged:
"I just remembered that my parents have a house here not long ago."
"That's weird"
President Mochida and others looked at each other, confused:
"Could he be an old friend of your father's?"
"Ryuunosuke still has a lot of friends. People often came to see him back then."
It's strange for the 'friend' young man. After all, Ryunosuke Sakaki was once the second-in-command of the black organization. His position was even higher than that of Rum, and he must have everything on his plate.
Although no useful clues were obtained, Sakaki Cheng could at least eliminate the nearby residents, which further proved that someone indeed knew the address of Sakaki Ryunosuke and his wife.
Who could it be?
"Don't think about this yet!"
Chairman Mochida calmly poured a full cup of sake for Sakaki Makoto:
"Didn't Takeda say that the cleaning staff will come every two weeks?"
"It's been two weeks since the last time, and it's probably just a matter of these two days. Just wait at home and ask others!"
"Drink, drink!"
Sakaki could only raise his glass and continue drinking with him.
after a while
Boom!
"Hiccup~~"
Putting the wine glass heavily on the table, President Mochida burped and suddenly sighed:
"You are talking about that boy Ryuunosuke. Even though our Lake Ashi is so beautiful, he always likes to talk about the beautiful scenery and beautiful mountains and rivers in other countries. He talks about it when he drinks. I can't listen to it now. I'm still a little used to it."
"Oh, President, you are right!"
Uncle Takeda from the supermarket immediately echoed:
"At that time, we often went out fishing together, and we sat there all afternoon, just listening to his chatter!"
"Just like this hot pot, he taught me how to make it. It tastes really good. Add more spicy pepper and green onions. Don't overcook it."
At this time, Sakaki noticed something strange.
The vast majority of Japanese people have a very low tolerance for chili peppers, and their cuisine tends to be bland, similar to sukiyaki, sashimi, and tonkotsu ramen.
I have been eating these things since I was a child, so naturally I can’t tolerate spicy food.
On the other hand, the hot pot cooked by Uncle Takeda has a thick layer of chili peppers floating on the surface of the pot, the red oil is shining, and it is paired with the boiling bone broth, which is full of spiciness.
The others didn't show anything strange, they seemed to be used to it.
These peppers should not appear in Japanese recipes.
"By the way, Ryunosuke got drunk once and talked nonsense, saying things we couldn't understand!"
Recalling the past, President Mochida had a lot of complaints to share. After talking for a while,
his mood gradually became low, and he drank alone.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little tense.
Even though many new faces appear in Lake Ashi every day, those people are tourists, coming today and leaving tomorrow, how many of them really stay?
The nearby residents all miss the time when Ryunosuke Sakaki and his wife lived here. The past seems especially beautiful, but behind the beauty, there is a sense of sadness.
"Hey"
Chairman Mochida patted Makoto Sakaki's shoulder and said seriously:
"Xiaocheng, Xiaoai, do you two want to stay?"
"The city is too noisy. It's leisurely here, and the air is good. It's actually very suitable for young people to settle down."
"If you are willing, we will open a fishing project in the scenic area and you will be responsible for it. In this way, the problem of work will be solved."
Makoto Sakaki and Miss Miyano looked at each other and laughed:
"Chairman Mochida, we appreciate your kindness, but we still have work in Tokyo and can't leave it."
"When we are done, maybe we will come and live for a while."
"Then it's settled!"
As if he was afraid that Makoto Sakaki and the others would regret it, Chairman Mochida raised his glass quickly:
"Men should be responsible for what they say. If you lie, I won't agree!"
"Come on, drink!"
