Chapter 104: Stiffened
"Master has helped me so much, so naturally he should drink my wine."
He added and ran out of the yard.
Yan Funing didn't have time to stop her. What driver Li said was reasonable, so she couldn't stop him.
Right now I just wish someone would drink less.
Not long after, the driver Li came back and brought a jar of wine and a plate of fried edamame.
Looking at the table of dishes placed on the Fu family's table, he smiled sheepishly: "I don't have many dishes at home, so I only have this dish of edamame. My mother fried them."
"Edamame goes well with wine."
Fu Ciyi helped his mother sit down and raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down.
Li, the driver, sat down and smiled: "Yes, it's delicious."
Looking at the table full of dishes, he was still embarrassed: "Actually, it's my turn to invite Master to drink and eat meat, but I didn't expect that I would come to Master's house to eat meat instead."
Yan Funing comforted him: "Brother Li, don't be cautious. Our family only eats simple ingredients."
"The two dishes are braised pig heart and braised pork tongue. I sliced them and put them on the plate. This one is braised chicken feet, which you always recognize. This one is braised chicken with mushrooms. The pheasant was caught by my husband himself. The rest is These two dishes are pickled radish and hot and sour cabbage, both served with rice." Yan Funing smiled, "These ingredients don't cost much together."
Li Dao, the driver, said: "People in the village say that the Fu family's daughter-in-law goes to the town every two days to buy meat. She doesn't know how to live, she only knows how to eat. Now I know that she is the one who really knows how to live!"
Fu Nanyao was unhappy after hearing this: "Who is talking nonsense? My sister-in-law buys meat and cooks it in different ways. We can eat it for a long time. Besides, I am greedy for meat."
Fu Beimo echoed: "I'm greedy and want to eat meat."
Ali quickly said: "I can eat meat every day at Master's house. People in the village don't give me food, but I eat very well at Master's house."
Wan Niang frowned: "Some time ago, Funing was making delicious food, and I had a few arguments with the lady next door, each saying how good her daughter-in-law was. Could it be that I was bitten by someone because of this?"
"Mom, just let them say it." Yan Funing gave her mother-in-law two pieces of pig heart, "Mom, try it quickly. The fishy smell and other things are gone."
Wan Niang took the food into her mouth and soon her eyebrows widened: "That day I said my daughter-in-law was good, but the man next door insisted on saying that the daughter-in-law who gave her pickles was good."
"There's always someone jealous."
Driver Li opened the wine jar and poured wine into Fu Ciyi's soup bowl first, and then into the bowl in front of him.
What was poured out turned out to be white wine.
Yan Funing paused while picking up the food. The aroma of the wine was strong, and you could tell from the first smell that the alcohol content was quite high.
Then he advised: "My husband has to teach tomorrow, so drink less."
"It's okay, teaching is tomorrow." Driver Li picked up the wine bowl and touched Fu Ciyi's.
They both took a long drink.
The white wine was spicy, and both of them ate their dishes in a hurry.
Seeing this, Fu Nanyao didn't dare to ask Yan Funing to have a drink too.
After all, my sister-in-law never drinks alcohol, let alone liquor.
At this time, Fu Ciyi said: "Good wine."
Driver Li: "If you want good wine, drink more."
Fu Beimo and Ali's eyes were bright: "Can we drink?"
Driver Li: "Of course it is possible."
Fu Ciyi objected: "You two eat vegetables."
When the wine was halfway through, the driver Li said with his tongue hanging out: "Master, I want to become your teacher, please teach me kung fu!"
When speaking, he was about to kneel down to worship his master, but Fu Ciyi lifted his arm.
"You have to be very particular about becoming a disciple. You have to choose a day to formally kowtow and serve tea." Driver Li immediately changed his words and called, "Master, the disciple has to choose a day."
Fu Ciyi frowned at such a big disciple.
He doesn't like to have disciples.
Ali stood up and said, "Master taught me Kung Fu. I should also call him Master."
He had to kneel when he spoke, but Fu Ciyi glanced back at him and sat on the stool. "My brother is Brother Li's master, that sister-in-law is the master's wife, I am the master's aunt, and Bei Mo is the master's uncle." Fu Nan said in surprise, "So, how should Brother Li call my mother, master's grandmother?"
Fu Beimo smiled: "I'm a master uncle, hehe, good!"
Fu Ciyi said to the driver Li: "You don't need to be a master. I can teach you kung fu. As for the title..." After a pause, he added, "Let's call you master. The title of my family is the same as before, and it will be the same in the future. .”
"Okay! I call you Master." Li, the driver, raised his wine bowl and made a toast. "From now on, in my heart, you will be my master, Li Agou."
Hearing him finally say their names, Fu Beimo and Ali laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up straight.
Driver Li's face turned red: "I made Master laugh. My name is not pleasant."
Fu Ciyi pondered and said, "Li Xinheng means integrity and conservation. What do you think?"
"Okay!" Li Zheng, the driver, nodded, "Agou is the nickname given by my parents, and Li Xinheng is the nickname given by my master!"
Finally having a good name, Driver Li became more interested in drinking.
Not long after, the jar of wine was drained by the two of them.
After drinking and eating, driver Li stood up unsteadily: "Master, it's time for me to go back."
Fu Ciyi's cheeks turned red, and he pinched his eyebrows, as if he was drunk.
Yan Funing saw this and ordered: "Beimo Ali, take brother Li back."
He took the empty wine jar and the plate of fried edamame and asked them to take it with them.
The two young men helped the big driver Li out of the yard, one on the left and the other on the right. Seeing that they were walking steadily, Yan Fu returned to the main room.
Inside the room, Fu Ciyi rested his elbows on the table and pressed his slender fingertips to his temples.
Fu Nanyao said: "Sister-in-law, my brother is also drunk."
Wan Niang asked: "Are you really drunk?"
Before Fu Ciyi said anything, Fu Nanyao said again: "Mom, my brother's face is very red, he must be drunk."
When Wan Niang heard this, she reached out and touched her eldest son's forehead. Sure enough, it was hot from drinking.
"Nan Yao, Funing, help Ci Yi back to her room."
Fu Nanyao said, "Mom, my legs and feet are inconvenient and I can't help my brother. Sister-in-law, please help my brother back to his room while I clean up the dishes."
Yan Funing stepped forward and helped her mother-in-law: "Mom, I'll help you back to your room first. Husband, don't worry."
"That's fine." Wan Niang nodded, and her daughter-in-law helped her back to the east wing.
When Yan Funing came back, Fu Nanyao was clearing the table.
"Sister-in-law, please help brother."
Yan Funing smiled: "I see that your brother is sitting quite firmly and doesn't look like he is drunk, so let him sit for a while."
At this moment, Fu Ciyi lay on the table.
Yan Funing was startled.
No, are you really drunk?
Then she lowered her head to look at his face, and saw that his fair cheeks were flushed with redness after drinking, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and the ends of his eyes were red.
Really drunk? Thinking of this, she reached out to pull his arm: "Don't sleep here."
Fu Ciyi moved his eyelids but remained silent.
Yan Funing cursed because she heard that some people are too quiet when they are drunk, while some people act crazy when they are drunk.
The person in front of me is probably the kind who is too quiet.
Looking at his eyes, he looked like he was about to fall asleep, and people couldn't sleep in the main room.
She had no choice but to put his arm on her shoulders and stretch her little hands to his lower back.
A soft little hand suddenly touched his lower back. Fu Ciyi's whole body stiffened, and a numbness spread from his lumbar spine...
