Chapter 41 Top Ten Masters
The airflow in Dantian seemed to be helping Du Ruo absorb the medicinal wine, and it carried an indescribable heat throughout Du Ruo's body.
"Boss Du, this is not the way to drink this wine. If you drink too much, you will feel very dry, which is very uncomfortable in this weather."
Xiang Yuanyuan saw Du Ruo drinking so much and quickly reminded him.
"It's okay~ Cool! Come, eat meat."
After Du Ruo finished drinking, he felt his body starting to get restless. It would be wrong for others to drink like this, but Du Ruo knew that he would be absolutely fine. Xingyi Five Elements Boxing can train the five internal organs, not to mention that when one has practiced to Du Ruo's level, the functions of his five internal organs have long surpassed those of ordinary people.
In addition, with the help of Dantian Qi, the medicinal properties can be better absorbed and the body's needs can be replenished.
Next, it was Du Ruo’s performance time. A bowl of food was poured from the basin for each person, and Du Ruo began to eat with relish.
Du Ruo specially bought fresh beef and cut it into large chunks when cooking. After stewing, the beef was soft and tender and absorbed the soup. In addition to a few spices, no other ingredients were added. The beef tasted full of meat and was very satisfying.
Du Ruo had been away from home for more than ten years and learned the skill of stewing meat from a colleague from the north. However, Du Ruo couldn't even stir-fry vegetables properly, except for stewing meat. He thought that he would have no use for this skill after returning home, but he didn't expect that it would come in handy today.
Chatting, drinking, and eating meat, Du Ruo unknowingly finished half of a pot of beef, which was at least seven or eight pounds. Not only that, he also drank bowl after bowl of medicinal wine.
At first, Xiang Yuanyuan and Yang Chenguang were still talking and laughing, but gradually their eyes turned to Du Ruo. Du Ruo's stomach was like a bottomless pit, and he kept eating and drinking without any signs of stopping.
"Why are you looking at me? Eat."
Seeing that the two men were staring at him without saying anything, Du Ruo swallowed the beef in his mouth and motioned for them to continue.
"Burp, I can't eat anymore. Du Ruo, how long have you not eaten? How can you eat so much?"
Yang Chenguang had already put down his bowl and chopsticks, only taking a sip of medicinal wine occasionally. He stared at Du Ruo's slightly bulging belly and asked a question. He didn't understand why Du Ruo had such a better figure when she ate so much more than him. Could it be that practicing martial arts also had the effect of body shaping?
"Practicing martial arts consumes a lot of energy, so it's normal to eat a lot."
Du Ruo replied casually that there were some things he couldn't say, and there was no need to tell Yang Chenguang.
"I've seen people who eat a lot, but I'm the first one to see someone drink my medicinal wine like this."
Xiang Yuanyuan even gave a thumbs up. Medicinal liquor, especially this kind of tonic liquor, can easily cause internal heat and body heat. Just like Yang Chenguang, he drank two taels of medicinal liquor and had already drunk three bottles of mineral water, and was sweating all the time.
This is a very obvious phenomenon of body heat. If you drink more, you will probably have a nosebleed and won’t be able to sleep at night.
But what about Du Ruo? He had drunk at least one pound of medicinal wine so far, and after drinking it, his face became rosy and he didn't even sweat much.
This was beyond Xiang Yuanyuan's expectations and touched her blind spot. She brought this jar of wine to give it to Du Ruo as a gift and to repay the favor she had done Li Qiyao. After all, it was her idea to deal with Li Qiyao's matter.
At first, she just thought that Du Ruo could drink two taels and leave the rest, which could be considered as repaying a favor. She never thought that Du Ruo would actually drink so much at once.
"Phew~ I can't eat anymore. I had a great meal today."
Du Ruo ate the last piece of meat in the bowl, drank the wine in the glass, touched his bloated belly, and said something very happily.
He said that he couldn't eat anymore, not that he was full. No matter how fast the digestion is, it still takes time. However, Du Ruo had never expected to make up for the loss in one day. Moreover, the medicinal wine that Xiang Yuanyuan gave him today really helped him a lot. At least the problem of insufficient blood supply would not happen again.
"No, I have to go. It's too dry outside. I have to go back to take a shower and turn on the air conditioner. You guys drink slowly. I'm leaving now."
Yang Chenguang held up his clothes with his hands to keep himself cool. Seeing that it was getting late, he simply said goodbye and left. "I have to go up the mountain tomorrow. Tell Uncle Yang not to go to the tea garden tomorrow."
Du Ruo continued to sit and had no intention of getting up to see him off. Instead, he shouted towards Yang Chenguang's back.
"OK…"
Yang Chenguang didn't even turn his head, waved his hands, and continued to walk out.
Seeing that the party was about to end, Xiang Yuanyuan also said goodbye and walked quickly towards the tavern. Xiang Yuanyuan did not take the jar of opened medicinal wine, and Du Ruo did not mention it either. There was no other way. It was of great help to him at the moment, so he could only keep this favor in mind.
After sending Xiang Yuanyuan off, Du Ruo returned to the yard. He felt lazy. He tidied himself up and went back to the bedroom to sleep. All night long, the airflow in Du Ruo's dantian kept flowing in his body, as if it was tireless, carrying the medicinal power of the medicinal wine and various nutrients from the beef to various parts of the body.
……
"Hey, Grandpa."
When Xiang Yuanyuan returned to the second floor of the pub, the first thing she did was to pick up her cell phone and call her grandfather.
"What's the matter with calling grandpa so late at night, Yuanyuan?"
People sleep less as they get older. Grandpa Xiang was originally lying on a recliner watching TV comfortably. However, after receiving a call from Xiang Yuanyuan, he immediately sat up straight and asked with concern, fearing that something might have happened to his precious granddaughter.
"Grandpa, have you ever seen anyone drink a pound of our secret deer antler and Polygonum multiflorum wine in one go? And after drinking it, they only blush slightly, without sweating."
Xiang Yuanyuan began to ask her grandfather about it. She still couldn't believe it. After all, people who didn't know the medicinal power of the wine would have no way of understanding the amount of information contained in it.
"Oh, I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it."
When Grandpa Xiang heard that Xiang Yuanyuan called to ask about this matter, he was no longer as nervous as he was just now. He continued to sit in the recliner, watching TV lazily, and answering Xiang Yuanyuan's questions casually.
"Grandpa, please tell me."
Xiang Yuanyuan became interested and urged him on.
"For hundreds of years, our Xiang family has been providing medicinal wine to Southern Shaolin, especially two hundred years ago, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when our Xiang family was at its most prosperous.
Almost all the famous martial arts schools in the southern martial arts world would come to our house to buy medicinal wine. It is said that our ancestors once invited one of the top ten masters to come to our house for a drink. That person could drink a pound of special medicinal wine in one meal, and his eyes became brighter and brighter as he drank. "
When Grandpa Xiang started talking about the glorious history of his family, he became quite talkative.
"Okay, Grandpa, I got it. Go to bed early."
Xiang Yuanyuan didn't want to listen to her grandfather continue. In fact, her grandfather often told her about these things about the family's glory when she was a child. While talking, he took out medicinal wine and asked her to drink some. Then she often drank it and became confused, and could not remember many things clearly. Now that her grandfather said this, she immediately understood.
"I didn't expect that. I originally thought that Boss Du was just a martial arts enthusiast, but I didn't expect that he was actually one of the top ten masters in the late Qing Dynasty."
Xiang Yuanyuan seemed to have discovered a new world. She was a little excited, but also a little bit unbelievable.
