Chapter 1256 Asking for Trouble

As the old woman finished speaking, another representative from Xiaozhi came on stage and said friendly words. It could be seen that the other party's expression was very respectful.

He was also grateful for the old woman's arrival, and the demeanor of everyone at the scene also changed.

After the opening ceremony, everyone got off the stage, and hosts from both sides came up from the side and began to host the banquet.

Yang Xiaotao no longer paid attention to the changes on the stage, but looked aside.

Right next to their table, Mr. He and others were already seated, which also meant that the banquet had officially begun.

The expressions of everyone at the table also softened a lot, and with the host's activity, they started to talk more.

Yang Xiaotao was not cold-faced, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

No matter what, there are so many delicious things. If you eat one more bite, your life will be one less.

Seeing this, the others also ate dully.

I don’t know whether it’s because the master’s craftsmanship is too good or because everyone is hungry. Anyway, everyone at Yang Xiaotao’s table is eating, so there isn’t much communication.

While Yang Xiaotao and the others were eating, the party had already begun.

It started with the Chinese chorus, which sounded very impressive.

A dozen men and women sang with loud voices, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

Later, Xiaori also went up to perform two shows.

Just when Yang Xiaotao was almost finished eating, Shui Yuanfeng stood up and said politely to the other people, "We're going to prepare. Please use it with ease."

As he said this, a girl stood up on the other side. They were the ones who went to rehearse in the afternoon.

Many people at nearby tables clapped and showed their support.

Yang Xiaotao and others nodded, Hashimoto Sakae even clapped his hands, and said a few words to Shui Yuanfeng and others that everything goes well, keep up the good work.

Yang Xiaotao saw that people around him had begun to move around, especially those who had drunk wine, blushing and talking to their new friends.

"Yang Jun, I respect you!"

Yang Xiaotao was about to ask his wife to ask when she would perform on stage. The program was arranged a bit casually, but Hashimoto Sakae stood up, holding a glass of wine and said, "I am able to come to China this time and meet so many young talents, especially It is an honor for me to have such an outstanding person like Yang Jun. I hope that in the future, we can communicate more and contribute to the friendship between each other. "

After listening to Hashimoto Sakae's words in broken Chinese, a trace of hesitation flashed across Yang Xiaotao's face, but he quickly adjusted.

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

Although he had already guessed the purpose of coming here, which was to give them a slap in the face to wake them up when they were young and confused about their status.

Just like before, the mission was completed well.

But you can't be too deliberate, otherwise it will be either a slap in the face or a deliberate sabotage.

"Hashimoto-kun is right. May our friendship last forever."

Yang Xiaotao said simply. At first he was thinking about how to drink the wine, but now the other party brought it to his door.

No wonder he is.

After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's heroic appearance, Hashimoto Sakae lowered his head and looked at the goblet in his hand. This cup must be worth two taels.

He is not usually a non-drinker, but the domestic sake is incomparable to the Chinese liquor.

Besides, this is Moutai.

Just watching Yang Xiaotao drink it, he had no choice but to hold his nose and swallow it one bite at a time.

Anyone who drinks alcohol knows, especially when drinking liquor, that if you drink it down in one gulp, the alcohol will go directly to your stomach, which will not do anything to your throat.

But it tastes like drinking water, and most people's throats can't stand it.

But Hashimoto Sakae wanted to turn into a hero, endured the discomfort in his throat, and swallowed it hard.

Yang Xiaotao on the side couldn't see this. Without waiting for Hashimoto Sakae to eat something to moisten his throat, he immediately picked up a bottle of wine and gave it to Xuanman, "Hashimoto-kun is indeed heroic. In China, drinking with friends is a matter of care."

"The more heroic you drink, the more sincere you are."

"This is my toast to you."

After speaking, Yang Xiaotao picked up the wine glass and swallowed it in one gulp without waiting for Hashimoto Sakae to speak. He saw the men and women at the table dumbfounded.

Especially the few young girls who came together looked at Yang Xiaotao with a hint of admiration in addition to shock.

Are all Chinese men so heroic?

Then they looked at President Hashimoto.

Hashimoto Sakae saw several people's eyes focused on him, and for a moment he felt a bit stuck.

He really can't drink.

But, I have to drink it.

Everyone around is watching, especially the Chinese people, who can’t look down upon her.

"Yang Jun, it is my honor to gain your friendship."

Make your own judgment with your brain, which is still awake for the time being.

In his opinion, those who can participate in this youth federation must be elites.

And to be able to sit in the first row is just a little worse than those who spoke on the stage, which means that the status is not simple.

Being able to build a good relationship with such people may be helpful in the future.

After saying that, he pretended to be bold and picked up the wine glass. His hands were shaking a little and the drink almost spilled.

Gudong Gudong

He drank a glass of wine slowly, and then his face turned even brighter red.

"Okay, well done. You are indeed a young hero."

"Men should drink!"

Hashimoto Rong listened and smiled knowingly.

Yang Xiaotao smiled, then picked up the wine bottle. Under the astonishment of the people around him and the horrified eyes of Hashimoto Sakae, he poured it for himself first. After only half a glass was poured, the bottle was empty.

This made Hashimoto Sakae breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next second, the Chinese youth at the table immediately stood up and came to the next table, said a few words, and then took the remaining bottle of wine over, smiled cordially at Hashimoto Rong, and then opened it and poured it for Yang Xiaotao first.

"Brother Tao, awesome."

The young man said in a low voice, obviously recognizing Yang Xiaotao's identity.

But Yang Xiaotao had no impression of him.

"Hurry up and pour it for everyone."

The young man filled Yang Xiaotao's glass, and then poured it for Hashimoto Rong.

Yang Xiaotao did not target Hashimoto Rong, which made Hashimoto Rong, who had a bitter face, feel relieved again.

He targeted everyone at the table.

Yang Xiaotao picked up the wine glass, stood up and looked at a few people, and then the young man also picked up the glass, waiting for Yang Xiaotao to speak.

"Comrades, welcome to China. We have an old saying in China that friends come with good wine."

"Today, I, Yang Xiaotao, welcome you with this good wine."

After saying this, he repeated it in Japanese, and finally said, "Long live friendship."

Several people at the table also picked up their glasses and stood up, and then Hashimoto Rong stood up with the help of the table, holding the glass in his hand, shaking a little.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Bang

The glasses clinked together, Yang Xiaotao and the young man finished the wine, and the other men also gritted their teeth and drank it. Finally, Hashimoto Rong took a deep breath and drank half of the wine.

The rest, he really couldn't drink it.

Yang Xiaotao glanced and didn't care. This guy was not easy to fool at first glance. It was good enough to be drunk by him for two glasses.

It's just that he didn't know anything about the aftereffect of Moutai.

Especially the current Moutai, the alcohol content is not low.

Just as several people sat down, a group of girls in beautiful kimonos on the stage began to perform.

Yang Xiaotao looked back, but he was not interested in the clothes and didn't pay much attention to them.

"Who are you?"

He took the opportunity to say a few words to the young man next to him. The young man immediately whispered, "Brother Tao, I'm Shi Qingsong from the same compound as Director Xu of the chemical plant. You can just call me Shitou."

"Uncle Xu?"

"Yes, he told me about you when he went back last time."

The young man smiled and began to introduce himself.

Hashimoto Rong was right.

Those who can come here and sit at this table are not simple.

Yang Xiaotao has been to the military compound of Xu Yuanshan and his family. The people guarding the gate outside have to be a class.

As the two talked, applause rang out again, and it was obvious that the performance on the stage had ended.

"Comrades, after watching the dance brought by our friends, please enjoy the heroic appearance of the sons and daughters of China."

The announcer finished speaking quickly, and then Yang Xiaotao saw Ji Xiang and the others wearing military uniforms, leggings, and belts. They were dressed in youthful and beautiful clothes, trotting all the way from the stage, like charging soldiers.

Yang Xiaotao looked at Ran Qiuye in the middle of the team. With her long legs, pointed feet and tall stature, she looked like a mother of three.

Of course, Ran Qiuye was not the only mother here, but she looked younger in this uniform.

Could it be that this was the bonus of the uniform?

Applause continued to rang out around them, and then everyone danced to the music.

Compared with the graceful dance in the previous show, although their dance was just a few simple moves, there was a sense of fearlessness in the big opening and closing.

Especially at the end, the gesture of defending and resisting by the people caused a sensation in the audience, and some people even shouted long live.

At table number one, Mr. He clapped his hands, and Li Rong and the other person were whispering to each other.

"It's great to be young."

Li Rong sighed, "Sister, you and I are old now. We were like this when we were young."

"Yes, sister. But now that we are old, the burden is not light."

Li Rong nodded, but smiled again, "To be honest, I envy you a little, but it's a pity."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Listen to me. I envy you because you have time and don't have to worry about these things, but it's a pity that you can only do these things because you have time."

"I know that with your ability, you don't need to stay at home at all."

As Li Rong said, the woman next to her picked up a piece of tofu with chopsticks, "There is no way, the country needs us to be like this."

There was a silence around.

As the applause rang out again, several people once again put the topic on the current party.

"These girls are good."

The woman looked at the passionate young people walking off the stage and suddenly spoke, and Mr. He next to her also nodded.

"They are all outstanding young people, so they are naturally not bad."

"It's almost done, shall we go down and take a walk?"

Several people nodded, and then went down with Mr. He and his friends.

"Mr. He! Leader."

"Big sister!"

The first one was Yang Xiaotao's table, but there were only four people standing up at the table, and the rest were lying on the table.

Mr. He glanced at Yang Xiaotao and was very surprised by his address to him.

The woman smiled at Yang Xiaotao, "This young comrade has been to my house for dinner, we know each other."

Li Rong's eyes shrank, knowing that Yang Xiaotao's status was not low, but he didn't know that there was such a relationship.

"You are all young people, you should communicate well!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and looked at the people lying on the table, "Don't worry, big sister, we communicate very well."

Mr. He turned his head away, their two tables were close, what was going on here he didn't know?

I have heard that this guy can drink a lot, and now it seems that he is really good.

Looking at the few people who have fallen asleep on the table, Mr. He's face is full of satisfaction.

Shui Yuanfeng, who was standing next to him, looked embarrassed. He came back from the stage and saw his companion lying on the table. What happened?

Seeing his leader's unhappy face, Shui Yuanfeng could only lower his head and curse Hashimoto Rong and the others for being useless.
