Chapter 2757

The car stopped by the roadside opposite 301 Hospital. Zhou Andong got out, stood by the car, and lit a cigarette. The streetlamp stretched his shadow long. It was nearly eleven at night, the road empty of pedestrians, only the barbecue stall at the hospital gate still persisting for a living.

Zhou Andong looked at the barbecue stall at the hospital gate, stepped forward, and crossed the road: "Wentian, it's still early. Let's go over, grill something, drink while we wait."

Wang Wentian said: "I need to drive. Let Yu Zhan and the others keep you company drinking."

Zhou Andong laughed and waved his hand: "I know your alcohol tolerance. A little less is fine."

A woman wearing a floral apron, about twenty-three or twenty-four, looking quite pretty, sat on a small stool. When Zhou Andong's car stopped across the road, she had been watching them.

When Zhou Andong and the others approached, the woman felt they were coming for her stall. As Zhou Andong stepped into the middle of the road, she stood up and shouted.

"Dajiang, customers are here."

The young man sitting by the grill, drinking while grilling, looked up and immediately stood up. At this moment, Zhou Andong and the five others had already walked over.

The woman said enthusiastically: "Bosses, please sit here!"

After Zhou Andong sat down, Wang Wentian and the others then sat down.

The woman, smiling all over her face, asked: "Bosses, what would you like to grill?"

Zhou Andong asked: "What do you have here?"

The woman said skillfully: "Lamb skewers, chicken wings, chicken gizzards..."

"One hundred lamb skewers, five chicken wings, five chicken gizzards..." Zhou Andong ordered the same: "Bring one 'Courage to Venture the World'."

The woman froze, glanced at the young man, and hesitantly said: "Boss, we don't have 'Courage to Venture the World' here."

Zhou Andong asked doubtfully: "You don't have 'Courage to Venture the World'?"

The young man hurriedly explained: "Because 'Courage to Venture the World' costs one mao more than 'Yanjing', we dare not stock it, afraid we can't sell it."

Zhou Andong didn't ask further: "Alright, then let's have one 'Yanjing'."

Soon, the lamb skewers were grilled. Zhou Andong picked up a skewer and took a bite: "The taste is not bad."

Wang Wentian also ate a skewer, nodded and said: "Indeed not bad, but the difference from your grilling is quite big."

Zhou Andong laughed: "Stop flattering me."

Lian Kai followed up: "The captain's words aren't flattery; I also think this taste differs quite a bit from yours."

"Grilling lamb skewers is a talent of Jiangzhou people; even kids know how to do it." Zhou Andong picked up his beer, took a sip, then frowned: "The feel of Yanjing is still a bit lacking."

Yu Zhan also took a sip, nodded and said: "Indeed, it's worse than 'Courage to Venture the World'."

Several people drank and chatted. The time came to 12:15 AM. A Crown sedan slowly drove up, then stopped behind the Mercedes. Tang Lin and Zhang Zuo got out of the car.

These two guys, as soon as they got out, glanced at the Mercedes license plate, then lifted their heads and looked around, finally fixing their gaze on the barbecue stall.

"Hey!" Zhang Zuo swaggered over: "Zhou Dongzi, you're really living it up, still skewering and drinking at this hour."

Tang Lin glanced at Zhang Zuo: "You're saying this in front of Dongge."

"What if I say it to his face?" Zhang Zuo said disdainfully: "Does Zhou Dongzi still dare to bare his teeth at me?"

"Dongge!" Tang Lin came to Zhou Andong's side and said: "Zhang Zuo says you don't dare to bare... wuwuwu..."

Zhang Zuo quickly covered Tang Lin's mouth, grinning: "Dongge, don't listen to Tang Lin's nonsense; he's just jealous of our brotherhood, trying to sow discord."

Zhou Andong looked dissatisfied at Tang Lin: "Dalin, I and you and Dazuo are brothers. How could you do this, destroying my brotherhood with Dazuo?"

Tang Lin looked bewildered, then saw Zhou Andong blink, then grin, and bowed apologetically: "Dongge, you're right; I shouldn't have destroyed your brotherhood with Dazuo."

"Knowing one's fault and correcting it is the greatest good!" Zhou Andong waved: "Come, sit down, let us brothers drink together."

Zhou Andong opened a beer and handed it to Zhang Zuo: "Dazuo, our brotherhood isn't something some petty troublemaker can sabotage. Come, brother, I toast you. You drink, I'll have whatever."

Zhang Zuo looked proudly at Tang Lin, then gulped down the beer in one go: "I drank it."

Tang Lin glanced at Zhou Andong, then picked up his beer bottle, sincerely said: "Dazuo, it's my fault, brother. Let us two brothers drink together."

Zhou Andong swiftly opened a beer and placed it before Zhang Zuo: "Since Dalin apologized so sincerely, you should forgive him. Drink up, and we'll still be brothers."

"Alright!" Zhang Zuo boldly picked up his beer: "I'll give you this face, I forgive Tang Lin."

"Come on, drink!" Tang Lin watched Zhang Zuo finish his beer, then only then drank his own.

Zhou Andong opened another beer for Zhang Zuo, feeling emotional: "Today, besides you, Dazuo brother, no one could have done this. To express my thanks, I toast you again."

"No need for formalities among brothers." Zhang Zuo hesitated not, drank the beer again.

"Refreshing!" Then Tang Lin raised his beer bottle: "Dazuo, we've known each other for a while. In business, we cooperate seamlessly. Let's drink to making big money in the future."

"I just like money." This time Dazuo himself opened the beer: "Let's drink!"

Just after finishing, Tang Lin picked up his beer bottle again: "Dazuo, our current success is all thanks to Dongge's support. Let us two brothers toast Dongge."

"Zhou Dongzi!" Zhang Zuo swayed his beer bottle: "Dalin said it right; we two brothers toast you."

Zhou Andong took a sip, waited for Zhang Zuo to finish another bottle before saying: "What you say goes. Without Dazuo brother holding the fort, we wouldn't have developed this fast. I toast Dazuo brother again."

"Burp!" After finishing this bottle, Zhang Zuo belched, his speech starting to slur: "Zhou... Zhou Dongzi, you little guy have a conscience. Knowing what you say, I can't leave you."

"Dazuo!" Tang Lin raised his beer bottle again: "For your word being reliable, I also toast you."

Zhang Zuo, having been whitewashed by Zhou Andong and Tang Lin's big brush, found himself unable to tell north from south. To their toasts, he refused none. Originally a decent drinker, he was now drunk flat by Zhou Andong and Tang Lin.

"Dazuo!" Tang Lin reached out and pushed the prone Zhang Zuo: "Dazuo, get up and keep drinking."

Zhang Zuo groaned, smacked his lips, mumbled something, then fell silent.

"Hey!" Tang Lin gave a hey laugh: "Dongge, what now?"

Zhou Andong gave a yin laugh, leaned close to Tang Lin's ear, and muttered something.

"Will Zhang Zuo wake up and kill us?" Tang Lin also gave a yin smile: "But I like it."
