Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 949 Naturally Immune to Alcohol!

As Jia Dongming walked out of the small canteen, he saw Sha Zhu standing at the canteen entrance with a net bag in his hand.

When Jia Dongming saw Sha Zhu, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He asked Sha Zhu curiously, "Zhu Zi! It's so late, why are you still here?"

When Sha Zhu saw the incredibly energetic Jia Dongming, he showed a surprised expression and introduced him with admiration: "Brother Dongming! I heard from Liu Lan that Director Li hired several people to try and get you drunk. I was worried that if you drank too much, you wouldn't be able to go home, so I waited for you here."

When Jia Dongming heard Sha Zhu's explanation and learned the truth about why Sha Zhu hadn't gone home so late, he was very moved. He smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi! I'm not bragging, but with my drinking capacity, even if Director Li brings a few more people, they probably wouldn't be a match for me."

Sha Zhu knew Jia Dongming could drink, but he never imagined Jia Dongming could drink this much. He remembered seeing the leaders being carried out of the canteen, giving Jia Dongming a thumbs-up with admiration, and excitedly telling Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! That Deputy Factory Director Chen is a well-known heavy drinker in our factory, and then there's Director Guo from our logistics department, who can drink at least a pound or two. And Section Chief Zhao and Section Chief Lin, they all have excellent drinking capacity. Yet, all those people were outdone by you!"

As Sha Zhu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered an old saying, paused slightly, and continued, "Brother Dongming! There's an old saying, 'Kill three thousand enemies, lose eight hundred of your own!' I originally thought that you were alone against so many people, and even if you weren't drunk, you'd probably be pretty drunk. But now that I see you acting like nothing happened, if I didn't smell the alcohol on you, I would have doubted whether you had been drinking tonight."

The reason Jia Dongming can drink so much is because he's a cheat code; he can transfer the alcohol he swallows into his system space. Let alone dealing with five or six people, even if he finds many more, as long as Jia Dongming doesn't want to get drunk, absolutely no one can get him drunk.

Hearing Sha Zhu's praise and seeing the admiring look on his face, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi! I'm naturally immune to alcohol. No matter how much I drink, it's not much different from drinking plain water."

Sha Zhu smiled and nodded when he heard Jia Dongming's reply. He then said to Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! Are you free tomorrow? I got some ingredients for Tan Family Cuisine a few days ago. If you're free tomorrow, I'll cook a few dishes for you to try as a way of celebrating your promotion."

Tan Family Cuisine is one of the representatives of official cuisine in China. It was created during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty by the Tan Zongjun family, officials in the late Qing Dynasty. Because Tan Zongjun was the second-place scholar in the imperial examination in the thirteenth year of Tongzhi, it is also known as "Bangyan Cuisine".

Although Sha Zhu is a successor of the Tan family cuisine, the ingredients are expensive and difficult to obtain, so Jia Dongming has known Sha Zhu for many years but has never eaten Tan family cuisine made by Sha Zhu.

Upon learning that Sha Zhu was going to invite him to try Tan Family Cuisine the next day, Jia Dongming's eyes lit up. He smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi! Although you are a successor of Tan Family Cuisine, I have never actually tasted it. However, I am not free at noon tomorrow. If you want to invite me to try Tan Family Cuisine, you can only do so in the evening."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reply and learning that Jia Dongming was willing to accept his request, Sha Zhu said happily, "Brother Dongming! Brother Dongming! Besides using good ingredients, the key to Tan Family Cuisine is that the broth needs to be cooked over a long fire, so I was originally planning to invite you to dinner tomorrow night."

Jia Dongming knew that Sha Zhu was treating him to dinner to thank him for helping Liang Lali transfer to a new job, but he never expected that Sha Zhu would go to such lengths to express his gratitude. Considering the high cost of ingredients for Tan Family Cuisine, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi! I have some top-quality ingredients. When you get back to the courtyard, come and take a look. If they're suitable for making Tan Family Cuisine, then take them back and we'll cook them all together tomorrow."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words, Sha Zhu immediately shook his head and refused, saying, "Brother Dongming! I'm treating you to a meal, how can I let you provide the ingredients?" Seeing Sha Zhu wave his hand in refusal, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi! As the old saying goes, we share the good times and the bad. We can't just have the two of us eat well while others watch! This matter is settled then. When you get back to the courtyard, go to my house and see which ingredients we can use."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reply, Sha Zhu thought of the large Jia family and could only nod helplessly, saying to Jia Dongming, "Okay! Brother Dongming! Then I'll go visit your family when we get back."

Twenty minutes later, Jia Dongming and Sha Zhu rode their bicycles back to the courtyard. Since it was evening, the neighbors had all gone to watch TV, so there was hardly anyone in the front yard.

Jia Dongming and Sha Zhu pushed their bicycles to the central courtyard. Jia Dongming smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi! Take your things home first, and then come to my house to see the ingredients."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Sha Zhu immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Brother Dongming! You go home first. I'll take the lunchbox home and then go to your house to check the ingredients."

"Zhu Zi! Didn't you say you'd be back after you finished hosting? Why are you so late?" Sha Zhu walked into the house carrying a net bag. Liang Lali, who was tidying up, immediately took the lunchbox Sha Zhu brought back when she saw him return, and asked him with a curious look.

When Sha Zhu heard Liang Lali's question, he thought about what had happened in the small canteen that night and couldn't help but sigh, "Wife! You don't know, I knew before that Brother Dongming had a good alcohol tolerance, but I never imagined that Brother Dongming's alcohol tolerance would be this good!"

Hearing Sha Zhu's remark, Liang Lali asked him with a puzzled look, "Zhu Zi! What do you mean by that? Dong Ming's high alcohol tolerance is no secret in our steel mill. Why are you so surprised?"

When Sha Zhu heard Liang Lali's question and saw her puzzled expression, he smiled and introduced to her, "Wife! You don't know, Brother Dongming is going to be officially transferred to the Public Security Bureau next week. Tonight, Factory Director Li invited Brother Dongming to dinner at the small canteen to give him a farewell dinner. To test Brother Dongming's drinking capacity, Factory Director Li brought out some of the best drinkers in our factory!"

"What! Zhu Zi! What did you say? Brother Dongming drank seven or eight people under the table all by himself, and he was completely unharmed. Is that true?" Liang Lali asked Sha Zhu with an incredulous expression after hearing what he said.

When Sha Zhu heard Liang Lali's question and saw the incredulous look on her face, he nodded very firmly and replied, "Wife! This is absolutely true. I was worried that Brother Dongming had been drunk by Director Li and the others, so I waited for him at the canteen entrance. But the others were carried out, while Brother Dongming walked out of the canteen by himself as if nothing had happened."

"In Dongming's words, he is naturally immune to alcohol. Not to mention Deputy Factory Director Chen and his group, even if Factory Director Li called twice as many people, they would not be a match for Dongming."
