Chapter 453: The Thief Saint's Craft

Sihe Academy

Backyard

The rich aroma of food permeated and spread, making the neighbors in the courtyard swallow their saliva.

However, these neighbors only dared to grumble in their rooms; no one dared to go out and shout.

Because the source of this food aroma came from the home of the big bad seed, Xu Damao.

Xu Damao, who had successfully become the Third Uncle, was hosting a grand banquet.

It was said that he had bought ten jin of pork, two chickens, and three fish.

He had invited the families of Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui, Cao Weiguo, and Chi Ping'an to eat at his home.

Looking at this room, there wasn't a single person who was easy to provoke!

First Uncle Liu Haizhong, Second Uncle Yan Fugui, Rolling Mill Director Cao Weiguo, and the street loafer Chi Ping'an.

These guys were either Managing Uncles or small leaders.

The worst one, Chi Ping'an, also had a bunch of fox friends and dog companions.

Could anyone have peace at home after provoking these people?

So these jealous and greedy neighbors could only hide at home and swallow their saliva.

No one dared to run outside and talk nonsense.

On the Xu family's table, there was big fish and big meat, and just the Maotai alone had five bottles set out.

It had to be said that Xu Damao was really damn rich!

And his connections were wild enough!

In 1953, Guizhou Province nationalized three distilleries and established the state-run Maotai Distillery.

In October 1949, on the eve of the founding ceremony, Maotai liquor entered the Huai Ren Hall, and the founding fathers used it to toast each other.

According to reports: the first banquet of the founding ceremony was held at the Beijing Hotel, with Maotai as the main liquor.

Between 1953 and 1958, the Maotai Distillery "lived up to its mission," producing 75 tons of liquor in 1953 and starting exports that year;

In 1957, the Maotai Distillery produced 183 tons of liquor and exported 50 tons, earning a large amount of precious foreign exchange for the country.

Maotai liquor in these years was not only particularly expensive but also very difficult to buy.

Even though Cao Weiguo had purchased it through various channels, he only had about three hundred bottles in his collection.

There was basically no fake liquor in this period, and Cao Weiguo and the others drank cup after cup.

They drank to their heart's content, and one by one, with red faces, they started bragging.

It was a good thing there were no cattle farms nearby, otherwise people would have to go to the sky to catch cows.

Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong were already floating.

Each of them wished they could blow the cow all the way to the Great Northwest.

As if walking out of the Sihe Academy would save the whole world.

Not letting them be officials was the world's greatest loss.

Give them a fulcrum, and they could really pry up the Earth.

"Even if I, Xu Damao, am a toad, I am a golden three-legged toad!"

"Today I became a Managing Uncle, this is just the starting point of my official career!"

"In the future, I want to be a director! A division chief! A factory manager!"

"I want everyone to worship me! To look up to me!"

"Good! Well said!"

"Kindred spirits! Kindred spirits!"

"Xu Damao! You rabbit cub, you're a good one!"

"Your uncle here thinks highly of you!"

"In the future, we will lead all of humanity to get rich together!"

"We will shine brightly together and be immortal!"

"Immortal!"

"Cheers!"

Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong drank heroically with excitement.

That ambition was jaw-dropping.

Cao Weiguo took a sip, then picked up the bottle to look at it.

Could the liquor Xu Damao bought be fake?

This meal lasted from seven to ten o'clock, with 5 bottles of Maotai and 6 bottles of Fen liquor finished.

Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao drank until they were under the table.

The two hugged each other and swore brotherhood, kissing each other.

They agreed to be high officials together, do big things together, and be infamous for ten thousand years together.

Liu Haizhong was better off having his wife and sons.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu used all their strength to separate this pair of friends.

Then they used the strength of nine bulls and two tigers to carry Liu Haizhong home.

Xu Damao was miserable!

His wife, Lou Xiaoe, had been beaten by him and ran back to her parents' home.

She hadn't returned since she left.

And it was unknown if she would ever come back.

He was left all alone in an empty room.

Cao Weiguo couldn't bear to watch and called Chi Ping'an to move Xu Damao to the bed.

As for the leftover food on the table, it was all swept clean by Yan Fugui's family.

It was just that Yan Fugui had a bottom line and didn't sweep away the plates too.

He even had the Third Aunt and Yu Li help wash the dirty plates and bowls clean.

After returning home, Song Yulan went to sleep first.

Cao Weiguo went to the study alone, locked the door, and entered the farm.

He had obtained quite a few seeds from checking in over the past two days.

Cao Weiguo planted them all in the fertile fields in one breath.

Rice, sorghum, millet (yellow rice), mung beans, and red beans.

He made full use of every acre of land on the farm. ===== CHAPTER 455 =====
