Lanyuan Pedestrian Street.
All the major colleges had been opening successively over these past few days, and Lanyuan, which had been somewhat quiet before, was once again bustling with activity. As the host Qin Fang naturally knew his way around, he led a group of dormitory brothers to Ningcui Residence, the best liquor establishment in Lanyuan.
It's relatively easy to get along with peers, and since Qin Fang's roommates all seemed to be nice guys, they quickly became well-acquainted with each other through their chatting and laughter. Although they had not reached the point of swearing brotherhood through slashing a chicken's head and burning yellow paper, they had already come to regard each other as their own people.
The six of them quickly established their pecking order, not by age but according to the number of the beds they had chosen. Being the first to move into the dormitory, Fang Dacheng was directly promoted to Boss Fang. As for Qin Fang, neither early nor late, he ranked fourth and naturally was called Qin Laosi (Old Four Qin)...
Ningcui Residence was the best liquor establishment in Lanyuan, so naturally, its prices were far above those of the surrounding places. Although it was not five-star, in Lanyuan, it was considered five-star level.
"I've lived here in Lanyuan for over two months now and passed by Ningcui Residence many times. I never had a chance to go in and try the flavors, but thanks to Second Brother being a rich guy, ha ha... I won't be polite today!"
Xiao Nan, who ranked second, had a surname that couldn't help but bring a chuckle.
In response, Xiao Nan once strongly protested and demanded to rank by age. It was regrettable, though, that after the six casually reported their birthdays and he thought he could secure one of the later spots being born in October, he was once again out of luck. He still ended up in second place, and thus his nickname "Little Second Brother" was cemented.
Since Ningcui Residence was a high-class and expensive place, naturally, they couldn't possibly do as much business as those small eateries that catered to student customers. Still, when Qin Fang and his party arrived, all the private rooms were filled, and the six of them had to settle for a table in the hall.
"Who would have thought that business here is actually this good..."
Qin Fang couldn't help being surprised. Ningcui Residence was considered high-end, and the average person couldn't afford to dine there. Targeting the clientele of the college town, which was mostly students, it was unexpected for them not to even get a private room.
Business in the university town was primarily driven by students during the school term. With over ten colleges and more than two hundred thousand people, the flow of customers was quite substantial. Business would slow down a lot during summer and winter breaks, so his noodle shop, having been open for three days, hadn't been doing too well. He was looking forward to the colleges reopening.
Although there were quite a few customers here, the speed of serving dishes was still quite fast. In about ten to fifteen minutes, more than half of the dishes they ordered had been served.
"Let's first try the taste here. If it's not good, we can go to the city right now..."
Xiao Nan was also somewhat displeased. Despite his easygoing nature, being a second-generation rich kid, he was used to having private rooms in high-class hotels. It was his first time dining in the hall, but the bustling atmosphere with a lot of people made it bearable. He just pursed his lips and said so.
"Don't rush, there's food, but how can you eat without wine? It's quite a fate for us brothers from all over the world to have gathered together. This first drink is a must!"
Shen Yang, from the Northeast, saw that everyone was about to start eating and immediately became displeased, insisting they had to drink first.
"The Third, don't be hasty. Let's get some food to cushion our stomachs first. Tonight, we won't return until we're drunk..." Xiao Nan immediately expressed with a smile.
"Right, we won't return until we're drunk!"
The other few also expressed their agreement, and Qin Fang couldn't help but smile wryly. He had an unflattering nickname—he was a "one-drink drunk," meaning that be it beer, liquor, red, or yellow wine, all it took was one drink for him to be down for the count.
But seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Qin Fang didn't want to spoil the mood. The words he was about to say altered to, "Brothers, I can't drink much, please don't mind me..."
The drinks were quickly ordered, not too many, just two cases of beer which averaged out to about four bottles per person. It was said that Shen Yang alone could easily down seven or eight bottles without so much as swaying, and Xiao Nan was about the same, having been raised in the world of liquor.
"Hmm, the taste is good. This chef's skills are probably not much inferior to those of head chefs in five-star hotels!"
After taking a bite of the dish, Xiao Nan couldn't help but praise. Initially, he hadn't held out much hope, but it turned out to be quite unexpected.
The others also started picking up their chopsticks and taking bites out of the dishes. Even though everyone had different standards for food, most of the dishes received positive affirmation.
Of course, there was one exception, such as... Fang Dacheng.
"The taste is good, but the portion is too small. It's not as satisfying as having ramen at Old Four's place! The service of the two landladies there is better than the service here too."
Fang Dacheng was a straightforward person and had a remarkably big appetite, which Qin Fang had witnessed firsthand. Hence Fang Dacheng's concern was not good taste but whether there was enough to eat.
While everyone was busy eating and discussing which dish tasted better or which one was slightly worse, with Fang Dacheng's comment, there was a moment of surprise on everyone's faces, including Qin Fang himself.
"Fourth Brother, what's the deal with this job?"
Shen Yang was the first to react. He was sitting next to Qin Fang and immediately grabbed him, asking with a chuckle.
In the college community, it was not uncommon for students to come up with creative ventures. Qin Fang opening a small noodle shop would have been ordinary, but what truly drew attention was Fang Dacheng's unnecessary add-on about "two lady bosses".
"Well... it's a joint venture with a classmate!"
The rumor about one boss and two lady bosses of Fang Feixue Noodle Shop had already spread, and some people knew about it, but clearly, his roommates were not among them.
"Yeah, two beauties!"
As Fang Dacheng was busy eating, he affirmed Qin Fang's words.
"Beauties!!!!"
Upon hearing this, all the guys nearly popped their eyes out. Fang Dacheng was known to be honest, and everyone could see that. They might not believe it if Qin Fang said it himself, but coming from Fang Dacheng, it had to be true.
"Hey Fourth, you've got two little sisters now, how come you didn't even tell your brothers? Are you worried we might steal them away from you? Don't worry, we're not that kind of people!"
Shen Yang, the big guy, pulled Qin Fang into his embrace and asked with a smile. Despite his imposing figure, like a simple-minded person, this guy was definitely crafty.
Smack~~
Xiao Nan couldn't be bothered with small talk and simply slammed his new Apple phone down on the table. "Quit the chit-chat and call them over! We can't be enjoying ourselves here and let the two girls feel left out, can we?"
"Exactly, Fourth Brother, you're really not being cool!"
The Fifth and Sixth Elder, the two guys who were just there to make up the numbers, immediately joined the campaign to criticize Qin Fang.
"No... alright, I'll call and ask!"
Qin Fang wanted to clarify his relationship with Tang and Xiao, but seeing that everyone was as eager as Huang Shiren, he had no choice but to pick up the phone and call Tang Feifei.
After the call connected, Qin Fang briefly described the situation and invited her and Xiao Muxue to join them. However, the girls had their own gathering, and although it wasn't at Ningcui Residence, it was still in Lanyuan and quite a distance away, so she politely declined.
However, before hanging up, she mentioned that they would come over to check on them if they had time.
Qin Fang also carefully gave a couple of instructions, almost sounding like a boyfriend, which made the wolves around him howl with eagerness, drawing the attention of many other customers in the hall.
"They have their own gathering and can't come. I'll introduce you guys next time when there's a chance!"
Qin Fang hung up, expressing his helplessness.
"Hehe, no worries, no worries, there will be plenty of chances..."
The group, though slightly disappointed, expressed understanding, and everyone looked at Qin Fang with meaningful gazes, pondering how they, too, were good-looking guys yet didn't have beauties as girlfriends, let alone two at the same time...
"Come on, to celebrate us coming together, let's all have a drink!"
Boss Fang Dacheng was not much of a talker, so the role of emcee was taken over by Xiao Nan, the Second Brother. Once everyone's cups were filled, he immediately said,
"Let's drink..."
And with heads tilted back, everyone downed their entire cup of beer.
Watching his brothers drink so quickly, Qin Fang sighed softly, then mustered up his courage and resolutely poured the cup of beer into his mouth, thinking that it was a good thing he had called Tang Feifei; otherwise, who knows what could have happened!
"Acquired Skill: Drinking, Skill Level: Beginner Level, Proficiency: 0%, with the gifted title: Newbie in the Tavern."
But as the beer went down, the typically dizzy sensation did not come at all, and at the same time, a system notification sounded.
