Chapter 163 Cheating

When the skewers were almost done, Qianhuan brushed chili powder on some of the meat slices, but did not brush the rest.

The aroma of the roasted meat made people salivate. Mr. Fan swallowed his saliva and asked impatiently, "Shanbo, is it ready? Can we eat now?"

"Well, sir, it's ready to eat. You can just take it right off the grill."

So Mr. Fan reached out and took a skewer and started eating. As he ate, Mr. Fan exclaimed, "Well, this barbecue is golden and crispy on the outside, plump and tender on the inside, with a rich taste and a unique flavor. It is indeed a good thing to go with wine. Rong Yu, you should also quickly take a skewer and try it."

Upon hearing this, Rong Yu immediately stretched out his white and slender hands to take the barbecue on the rack.

Qianhuan saw that he was about to take the barbecue brushed with chili powder, so she quickly stopped him and reminded him, "Brother, I brushed all the barbecue over here with chili powder. Shanbo knows that you don't like spicy food, so I specially reserved the barbecue over there for you. You can eat the barbecue skewers over there that are not brushed with chili powder."

As she spoke, Qianhuan considerately picked up a string and handed it over.

Rong Yu couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart. This junior brother was always extra careful and caring towards him.

He took the barbecue and took a bite. The crispy skin and tender meat immediately released an enticing taste in his mouth, making him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself. He had to admit that this barbecue was really fragrant and tasty, and it was indeed suitable for drinking.

Mr. Fan couldn't help but joked while eating: "Shan Bo, you are just too caring for your brother. You have to let him learn to eat spicy food, so that he can experience the wonderful taste of spicy food."

Qianhua smiled and said, "Sir, Senior Brother is from the north, so he must not be used to eating hot peppers all of a sudden. It is only natural for Shanbo to take care of Senior Brother."

As Qianhuan spoke, she handed a skewer of meat to Mr. Fan and her senior brother respectively. She also took a skewer and started eating. She placed the rest of the roasted meat on a plate on the stone table.

Qianhuan put a lot of raw meat and vegetable skewers on the grill, and she persuaded, "Sir, Brother, the skewers you grill yourself taste better. You might as well grill them yourself. It's fun."

"Okay, then I will give it a try too."

As expected, both of them followed Qianhuan's example and started grilling themselves.

It’s a pity that the two big men who had never done any heavy work had poor manual labor skills, so the food was either not cooked through or burnt. In the end, Qianhuan had to work hard to bake it by herself.

Chang Bo had already moved several jars of wine out of the cellar, and he poured a full glass of wine into everyone's glass.

The three masters and apprentices admired the snow scenery, ate barbecue, and drank a sip of wine from time to time. They talked about everything under the sun and discussed life together. They were so happy.

Qianhuan placed all the grilled skewers on a plate on the stone table, and she was thoughtful enough to use a separate plate for the grilled skewers without chili powder.

She said to Rong Yu, "Brother, this plate contains grilled skewers without chili powder. I prepared them just for you."

"Okay, I understand." Rong Yu was not used to saying thank you, but he actually felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Then Shanbo filled a glass of wine and stood up to toast Mr. Fan: "Mr. Fan, thank you for agreeing to accept Wenjie and me as your apprentices. Shanbo knows that I don't have great ambitions and always disappoint you, but you have always tolerated Shanbo. Shanbo is really grateful. This glass of wine, I toast to Mr. Fan."

After saying that, Qianhuan raised her head and drank the wine in the glass. This wine from Mr. Fan's family's private collection was really good. It was mellow on the palate without any spicy taste. Qianhuan thought that this wine should not be intoxicating.

"Shanbo, this is the fate between us as master and disciple. The first time I went to your stall to buy sugar-roasted chestnuts, I felt that you were a child with good character. These days you have always found ways to make delicious food for us, and my mother's appetite is getting better and better. In fact, I, your master, have to thank you." As he said this, Mr. Fan also finished the wine in his glass.

Qianhuan then poured another glass of wine. She stood up and said to Rongyu, "Brother, Shanbo is clumsy and always makes you angry, but you have always been patient in teaching him. This glass of wine is from Shanbo to you."

In fact, Qianhuan felt a little reluctant when she said this, because her senior brother sometimes actually disliked her and was always very cold to her.

But after spending a long time with her senior brother, she found that he was not as unkind as she had imagined.

Rong Yu picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all in silence.

After two glasses of wine, Qianhuan felt her stomach was empty. She quickly picked up a skewer of meat and put it in her mouth to chew.

Mr. Fan praised him, "I didn't expect that you can drink a lot, Shanbo."

"Mr. Fan, it's not that Shanbo can drink a lot, it's that your wine is so delicious, it tastes mellow and not spicy at all. I feel like this wine won't make you drunk."

"You're wrong. Although this wine tastes good at first, it has a strong aftertaste."

Qianhuan didn't take this to heart. It was snowing today and it was a rare day off. She felt relaxed and in a good mood. She just wanted to have a drink.

Mr. Fan then signaled to Chang Bo standing beside him to fill up the three people's glasses, "Come on, come on, let's have a drink together, master and apprentice."

After saying that, the three of them clinked their glasses and drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

Qianhuan continued to turn the skewers on the grill for everyone. On a whim, she suggested, "Sir, Senior Brother, why don't we play a game together?"

"What game are you playing?"

"Let's just play the game of 'The Man in the Rivers and Lakes'."

"What kind of game is that? How come I have never heard of it?"

Then he turned to Rong Yu and asked, "Rong Yu, you've been to many places, have you ever heard of this game?"

"No, I have never heard of it." As he said this, he looked at Qianhuan with a puzzled look, and it was obvious that he was also very curious about this game.

"Oh, sir, senior brother, this is a game I created when I was bored. Of course you haven't heard of it." Qianhuan said without blushing that something that did not belong to her was her own creation.

She continued, "This game is very simple. I'll teach you how to play it. It's just that when you're in the arena, you're bound to get stabbed. One chop equals five, five chop equals four, four chop equals three, three chop equals two, and two chop equals one. You can only chop in the same direction. The loser will be fined a glass of wine."

When Mr. Fan heard the rules of the game, he felt that this game seemed very interesting and became interested. "Okay, let's play together."

After the three of them tried playing twice, Mr. Fan and Rong Yu learned how to play it in no time.

"Why not let Chang Bo join in? Chang Bo will play with Mr. Fan, and I will play with my senior brother."

So Chang Bo was also pulled to sit down and play games with Mr. Fan. Chang Bo and Mr. Fan were equally good, and the two of them were good at getting each other drunk.

But it was different for Qianhuan and Rongyu. Rongyu didn't know if it was because of good luck or some other reason, but he always won more often. Qianhuan was punished and made to drink a lot of wine.

Qianhuan held Rongyu's jade-white hands and shook them while shouting, "When you are in the martial arts world, you will inevitably get stabbed. I will chop you to death with five slashes..."

As a result, Rong Yu made a move with a knife. Qian Huan was drunk and saw that she had lost again, so she couldn't help but start to act like a rogue.

"Brother, this one doesn't count. You played too slowly. Come on, let's try again."

Rong Yu saw that she was acting like a rogue and didn't expose her, so the two of them tried again, and Qianhuan lost again in the end.

Qianhuan pouted and said, "I just don't believe in evil today. I don't believe that I'm so unlucky and always lose. Let's try again."

Qianhuan finally won this time. She cheered happily, "Yeah, I finally won. Senior brother, I have to drink a penalty."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to fill his glass and passed it to him. Rong Yu drank it all in one gulp without changing his expression.
