Chapter 364 Tasted a mouthful of soy milk

"Xu Damao, I really didn't expect to meet you today." Wang Qiang leaned back in his chair, a smile on his face, and his tone became a little relaxed. "I have been busy these days and under a lot of pressure. I just want to relax today."

When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately slammed the table and said, "Just relax! We have to find more fun for ourselves these years and not always worry about work. You work so hard, you should have some time for yourself. I think what Xu Damao said makes sense. Although he has been working very hard, occasional relaxation is to better devote himself to the next stage of work and challenges.

At this time, the owner of the tavern came over and saw that the two were drinking happily. He couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Would you like some more food to eat? We've drunk too much, so we need to eat something to calm down."

After listening to the boss's words, Wang Qiang realized that he was indeed a little hungry, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's have some more snacks."

After a while, several dishes were served on the table. Xu Damao could not wait to pick up a piece of food with chopsticks, put it into his mouth, and said while eating: "Qiangzi, I think you will become a great man in the future. You will definitely get a good ranking in this competition. Don't forget to treat us brothers to a celebratory drink when the time comes!" Although he was a little drunk, he felt a little warm in his heart because of Xu Damao's words. He knew that although Xu Damao usually talked a lot, his encouragement was sincere. He felt that he was not alone. With the support of so many people, the challenges ahead seemed to be less difficult.

"Don't worry, Xu Damao, I will definitely treat you to the best wine when the time comes!" Wang Qiang raised his glass and responded with a smile.

Xu Damao laughed and clinked glasses with Wang Qiang. At this moment, the lights in the pub seemed particularly warm, and the noise around them seemed to become distant. Only their laughter echoed in the air.

As the alcohol continued to ferment, Wang Qiang's consciousness gradually blurred, but he felt a sense of relief that he had never felt before. He knew that he had tried his best, and although the road ahead was unknown, he would meet all possible challenges.

At this time, Xu Damao suddenly patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder and said mysteriously: "Qiangzi, I heard that the opponents in this regional competition are not easy to deal with. You have to prepare more."

Wang Qiang was slightly startled, then smiled, "I know the competition won't be easy. But I'm ready. No matter what opponent I meet, I will go all out."

Xu Damao nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face, "That's right, Qiangzi, you can do it! The pride of our courtyard, I'm waiting to see you show off your skills!"

Wang Qiang listened to Xu Damao's words and realized that although the outcome of the game was important, what was more important was that he had to constantly break through himself and challenge higher goals. This night of relaxation and Xu Damao's encouragement helped him regain the courage and motivation to face challenges.

As the night deepened, the people in the pub gradually dispersed. Xu Damao also stood up with a burp, patted Wang Qiang on the back and said, "Qiangzi, it's getting late, we should go back." He stood up with the help of the table. Although he felt a little dizzy, his steps were steady. The two walked out of the pub together. The night breeze in the alley was a little cool, blowing on Wang Qiang's face, sobering him up a little.

It was late at night, and Wang Qiang and Xu Damao were walking together in the alley. The dim lights on the street illuminated their tipsy faces. Although he had just drunk a lot in the pub, Wang Qiang felt a strong thirst and his throat was a little dry.

"I had a great time drinking wine today, but I'm a little thirsty now." Wang Qiang shook his head gently, feeling a little dry in the mouth. He suddenly remembered that when he was a child, his father would prepare a cup of soy milk for him every time he finished drinking, saying that it could sober up and moisten the throat, which made him miss it. I want to drink some soy milk to clear my mouth. A trace of desire flashed in his eyes.

Xu Damao laughed when he heard this. "You're so drunk, but you still have to drink soy milk at the end? You're too particular!"

Wang Qiang also smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not good to be careless. Drinking some soy milk after drinking is really good. Besides, I've been used to it for so many years. Then he said, "Let's go look for it. There seems to be a small shop nearby that sells good soy milk."

The two continued walking forward, and Xu Damao led Wang Qiang to the door of a small shop. There was a lantern hanging outside the shop, and the light was soft, exuding a warm feeling. Wang Qiang looked at the familiar sign at the door of the shop, and suddenly felt that this was exactly the place he needed.

Walking into the shop, the furnishings inside are still the same as before, with several wooden tables and chairs neatly placed, and the air is filled with the aroma of soy milk. The boss is an old man in his fifties. When he saw Wang Qiang and Xu Damao come in, he greeted them with a smile.

"You're here to drink soy milk this late at night?" The old man's voice was filled with a gentle smile. "But you came at the right time. I just cooked a pot today. It's just right."

Wang Qiang smelled the familiar aroma of soy milk, and his desire became stronger. After he sat down, he ordered two cups of soy milk, one for himself and one for Xu Damao. After a while, the old man came over with two cups of steaming soy milk and gently placed them in front of them.

Wang Qiang picked up the soy milk and sniffed it gently. The warm aroma made him feel calm. He took a sip and the warm soy milk slid down his throat into his stomach. The mellow bean fragrance instantly spread, as if a warm light passed through his body, sweeping away the heat brought by the alcohol.

"It still tastes the same." Wang Qiang sighed with satisfaction, and the smile on his face seemed particularly relaxed. He put down the cup, leaned back in his chair, looked at the furnishings in the store, and felt as if he had returned to his childhood, those carefree days.

Xu Damao looked at Wang Qiang's expression and couldn't help but taste the soy milk. He then nodded, "Well, this soy milk is really good, moist and not greasy."

Wang Qiang smiled and nodded, feeling a little warm in his heart. He recalled the time when his father brought him to this small shop to drink soy milk when he was a child. His father would always remind him: "After drinking, remember to have a cup of soy milk, which warms your stomach and helps sober you up." This sentence has remained in his memory, and he has kept this habit until now.

"You know, Xu Damao, when I was a kid, my dad always brought me here to drink soy milk. At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I thought soy milk had no special taste." A glimmer of nostalgia flashed in his eyes. "But later I found that this soy milk is not only delicious, but also a feeling of home. After drinking it, I feel very at ease."

Xu Damao listened, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, "Yes, childhood memories are always the most unforgettable. Although we have grown up now,
