Today's gathering — in the army, it should be called a banquet — was very lively. The veterans had reunited after such a long time, and everyone was very happy. Under such an atmosphere, they naturally drank a lot of alcohol.
Xia Ruofei drank a lot too, and he didn't use his True Qi to dispel the alcohol — at such a time, if he didn't get drunk no matter how much he drank, it would be tasteless. Of course, Xia Ruofei's physique was very different from before. Even if he didn't use his True Qi to dispel the alcohol, his alcohol tolerance was much higher than before.
So, although he was the host, the "firepower" was more concentrated, and he finished a bottle of white wine in a short while, he only felt a little dizzy, not even slightly tipsy.
On the other hand, Ma Zheng and the other veterans' eyes started to drift after three rounds of drinking.
It wasn't that Ma Zheng and the others couldn't drink well, but that Xia Ruofei's alcohol tolerance was too good now.
Ma Zheng patted Xia Ruofei's shoulder and said with a big mouth, "Ruofei! You … you kid … After leaving the army … your alcohol tolerance has increased a lot! You … you didn't … practice less, right? "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Old Company Commander, my alcohol tolerance has always been good! It's just that you used to be my leader, so I didn't want to drink you to the point of lying down! "
Ma Zheng sneered and said, "You … you're bragging! I think you're forcing yourself … Come! If you can … drink with me again! "
"Company Commander Ma, it's better to drink less! You and Ruofei drank a lot tonight … "Lin Yueh-a persuaded.
Ma Zheng was actually a little drunk now. He said, "Sister-in-law … It's … okay … We … still have some left!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, if the old Company Commander wants to drink, let him drink! There are no outsiders here, and besides, this is our territory. If he gets drunk, I'll carry him back. Nothing will happen! "
Lin Yueh-a didn't drink that night, so she could tell that Ma Zheng was drunk. However, Xia Ruofei was still sober. After all, Xia Ruofei was the host. Since he said so, Lin Yueh-a couldn't persuade him anymore. She could only nod helplessly.
She thought for a moment and said, "Ruofei, you should control yourself. Don't drink too much. Otherwise, a good thing will turn bad …"
Losing face after drinking too much was a small matter. What Lin Yue-er was worried about was that if they drank too much, there might be serious alcohol poisoning or stomach bleeding. That would be troublesome. As the organizer of the banquet and the boss of these people, Xia Ruofei had to take responsibility. Moreover, these veterans were Captain Luo's comrades. Lin Yueh-a definitely didn't want anything to happen to them.
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, sister-in-law! I know what I'm doing. Nothing will happen! "
The veterans' physiques were all very good. Moreover, when the army didn't ban alcohol, everyone drank together when they were training or carrying out missions. Xia Ruofei was still confident in their alcohol tolerance.
Taking a step back, even if someone really got sick from drinking, with Xia Ruofei here, it was absolutely impossible for anything to happen.
Lin Yueh-a heard Xia Ruofei's words and nodded. She didn't try to persuade him anymore.
Xia Ruofei smiled and took the wine bottle. He first filled Ma Zheng's glass to the brim and then filled his own glass.
He raised his glass and said, "Old Company Commander, this toast is for you! Thank you for taking care of me during my time in the army. At the same time, I wish you all the best after your military career ends! "
Ma Zheng nodded heavily and said, "Thank you, brother!"
The two clinked their glasses, then raised their heads and downed the wine at the same time.
Xia Ruofei drank the wine from the waiter easily. Ma Zheng, on the other hand, was a little forced. After downing this big glass of wine, the smell of alcohol rushed up. However, he covered his mouth in time and forced it down. Then, he sat in his seat for a while. Then, he raised his glass of juice and drank two big mouthfuls. Only then did he avoid the awkwardness of a "live broadcast."
At this time, another veteran came over to toast Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei didn't refuse. He used his eyes to signal Lei Hu to pay attention to Ma Zheng's situation. Then, he picked up the bottle and poured wine with a smile. He drank with the veterans again.
Lin Yueh-a's eyelids twitched. The way Xia Ruofei drank the wine like it was boiling water was really a little scary.
However, the veterans were all drunk to a certain extent, so they weren't as observant as Lin Yueh-a. When they saw Xia Ruofei downing the wine, they all gave him a thumbs up. Then, they went to find familiar comrades to drink with.
At around nine o 'clock in the evening, Xia Ruofei saw that there wasn't much wine left in the wine that Lei Hu prepared. Some of the veterans had already fallen asleep on the table. He felt that it was about time to drink to this extent. In fact, he also felt a little dizzy. This was a sign of alcohol getting to his head.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei stood up and suggested that everyone finish the wine in their glasses.
The veterans who were still sober raised their glasses one after another. Everyone drank the last glass of wine, and then they supported their comrades who were completely drunk and staggered back to the dormitory.
Ma Zheng had already fallen asleep on his seat. Xia Ruofei walked over and signaled Lei Hu, who was about to go forward to support him, to move away. Then, he carried Ma Zheng on his back easily. He turned to Lei Hu and said, "Leave some people in the dormitory tonight. If anyone is seriously unwell, inform me immediately! Also, get the canteen to prepare some hangover soup and send it over. Let everyone drink some! "
"Okay!" Lei Hu replied.
In fact, Lei Hu was familiar with many of the veterans that Xu Yougang brought over. However, he didn't drink much tonight because he knew that he still had work to do.
In a sense, these veterans were considered guests today. Lei Hu was first and foremost an employee of the Taoyuan Company. His task today was to provide good service. Lei Hu was very clear about this.
Xia Ruofei personally carried Ma Zheng to the dormitory to settle him down. Then, he walked around each room and told the veterans to rest early. At the same time, he reminded them to take care of the drunk veterans.
After Lei Hu finished arranging things in the canteen, he immediately rushed to the dormitory.
Xia Ruofei said a few more words to him. Then, he went downstairs alone and went straight to his small villa in the Taoyuan Farm.
Although he hadn't lived here for a while, the company had always arranged for people to clean it regularly. Therefore, the hygiene was very good. He didn't need to clean it overnight and could move in directly.
After Xia Ruofei took a hot shower, he still felt a little dizzy. He really drank a little too much tonight. A conservative estimate was that he had drunk more than three bottles. That was a high alcohol content liquor! Even with his strong physique, he still couldn't bear it.
However, Xia Ruofei only needed to circulate his true energy slightly to evaporate the alcohol in his stomach and blood. He quickly sobered up.
Xia Ruofei locked all the doors and windows of the bedroom. After drawing the curtains, he summoned the Spiritual Map Scroll from his palm and entered the space with a thought.
He first came to the Mountain Sea Territory. The time here was synchronized with the outside world. At this time, it was already about 11 o 'clock at night. The workers in the space were already resting in the temporary housing.
However, Xia Qing was a soul puppet. He didn't need to sleep. The free workers were sleeping, but he was still busy working.
After seeing Xia Ruofei come in, Xia Qing quickly came forward to greet him.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "I'm fine. I just came in to see how the construction here is going."
Xia Qing replied, "Master, with this batch of labor, the progress of a lot of work has been greatly accelerated. You see, the area of the medicine garden has expanded to hundreds of acres. There are also dozens of acres of rice fields over there. If it was me alone, I would definitely not be able to take care of it."
Xia Ruofei was the absolute master of the space. He was clear about the situation here with a sweep of his spiritual power.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Well done! Xia Qing, the performance of these free workers is not bad, right? Is there anyone who doesn't know their place? "
"No one dares to be disobedient here!" Xia Qing said with a smile, "They are already used to your point system. They work hard every day to exchange for as many points as possible."
Xia Qing paused for a moment before continuing, "You promoted a few squad leaders, and the results are very good. I intend to tilt the points toward these people. Now, in addition to satisfying their hunger, they can also enjoy some cigarettes, alcohol, and drinks, so they are very motivated! When the others saw that they were doing so well, they also did their best to perform, hoping to get an official position … "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Where there are people, there will be competition. As long as we don't practice egalitarianism and eat from the same pot, we can always maintain our vitality!"
"By the way …" Xia Ruofei said, "Didn't I instruct you to use the time flow difference in the Archean realm to transplant and cultivate some oak trees? How's that going? "
After Xia Ruofei had taken out a few oak trees to make wooden barrels in Australia, Old West had been full of praise for the effects of the new wooden barrels. He had already urged Xia Ruofei several times, hoping to buy more oak trees as soon as possible.
This was also what Xia Ruofei had promised him, so he had asked Xia Qing to consciously cultivate more oak trees.
Xia Qing said without hesitation, "Master, I personally completed this task. There are already about 150 trees. They were all cultivated in the Archean realm using the time flow difference and then transplanted here."
Xia Ruofei followed the direction of Xia Qing's finger and sensed it. He saw a lush oak forest. These oak trees grew very well in an environment rich in spirit qi. The smallest was twenty to thirty centimeters thick, enough to make oak barrels.
Xia Ruofei nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well done! Xia Qing, organize people to cut down this batch of oak trees in the next two days. Remove all the branches and leaves, as well as the thinner parts of the treetops. I only need the parts above twenty centimeters in diameter! "
