Chapter 308 Celebration Feast, Lin Ye Drinks His Fill!
Seeing that Shi had prepared dinner, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls excitedly ran to the dining table and sat down. Their eyes widened as they looked at the abundant dinner on the table, drool almost running down their chins. However, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls remembered Lin Ye’s previous words. None of them sat down or reached for the food on the table. Although they were all drolling and swallowing saliva, they obediently waited for Shi and the others to wash their hands.
After Shi and the others finished washing their hands, they also came to the dining table. Lin Ye walked to the head of the table. On the long, rectangular dining table, Lin Ye sat at one of the narrow ends. Sitting directly opposite him at the other narrow end was the tribe’s Witch, Grandma Nanrong. Next to Lin Ye, on his left and right, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls were arranged one by one. Closest to Lin Ye were Xing on his left and Mingyun on his right. Further back were Shi and Ganyu. Ling’er and another Winged Girl named Xiaoya sat on either side of Grandma Nanrong, so they could keep an eye on her.
Lin Ye walked to the head of the table and saw the two rows of beautiful Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls standing on either side of the table. A happy smile appeared on his face. All the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls looked at Lin Ye with smiling eyes. Lin Ye wanted to say something more, but for a moment, he didn’t know what to say. Finally, Lin Ye smiled and said, “Alright, let’s eat!” Lin Ye felt that no amount of rousing speech could be as effective for the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls as the word ‘eat.’ As expected, upon hearing this, all the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls cheered happily. Then, one by one, they eagerly sat down.
After sitting down, some Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls began to distribute wooden cups to everyone. Then, holding pottery jars filled with wine, they began to serve wine to everyone with large spoons. The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls had not yet picked up their chopsticks; they were all staring at the wine being distributed. When it was their turn, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls excitedly handed over their cups. After everything was distributed, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls each looked at the wine in their cups. Then they all looked at Lin Ye.
Lin Ye also picked up his wooden cup, looked at the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, and swirled the wine in his cup a few times. Then he raised his cup and said to the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, “Stop staring, everyone. Let’s celebrate the Starfire Tribe having new houses. Let’s begin!” After speaking, Lin Ye brought the wooden cup to his lips, gently smelled the aroma of the wine, and took a small sip.
Upon hearing Lin Ye’s words, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls also cheered excitedly. Then, one by one, they all took a sip of the wine in their cups. In truth, this was the first time for most of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls to drink alcohol. Although several Beast-eared Girls had previously consumed the Talent Awakening Potion, Lin Ye believed that since it was called a Talent Awakening Potion, it probably only looked similar to beer and might contain alcohol. However, it could not be as simple as beer, otherwise, if Lin Ye made beer later, wouldn’t it all be Talent Awakening Potion? Moreover, only a few Beast-eared Girls had drunk the Talent Awakening Potion. Most of the Beast-eared Girls and all of the Winged Girls had never encountered alcohol before.
Therefore, after taking a sip of the wine, a blush appeared on the faces of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls. Moreover, their expressions were a little strange. This was their first time drinking wine. They all felt that the taste of the wine was strange. But after drinking it, they felt warm. And after just one sip, they wanted to drink more. After savoring it for a while, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls all put down their cups, their faces showing expressions of surprise. A different light flickered in their eyes. Looking at the wine in their cups, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls opened their mouths and exhaled a breath of alcohol from their stomachs. “Wow, this wine tastes so strange!” “Yeah, it doesn’t taste good at all, but I still want a second sip.” “After drinking it, my stomach feels warm.” After drinking the wine, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls began to discuss excitedly.
Lin Ye also put down his wine glass, watching the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, a faint smile appearing on his face. “Alright, let’s eat first. So much delicious food, it will get cold if we don’t eat soon.” Lin Ye saw that the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls were all excitedly talking to each other, showing no signs of stopping. He then spoke to them, “This is the first time we’re sitting at a dining table to eat. It’s normal for the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls to be excited. Moreover, today is the day we officially move into the new house.” The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls hadn’t even touched their favorite foods. However, upon hearing Lin Ye’s words, they all quieted down. Then, looking at the delicacies on the table, they all started drooling again.
Lin Ye was the first to pick up his chopsticks, picking up a piece of roasted venison and putting it into his pottery bowl. Then he put down his chopsticks. The eyes of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls had been following Lin Ye’s chopsticks. Seeing Lin Ye put down his chopsticks, they all eagerly began to eat. Lin Ye, on the other hand, was eating the exquisite venison and drinking the homemade wine. He looked at the beautiful Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls in front of him. They held bowls filled with Gnocchi Soup, which also contained noodles. In their other hands, they held salted boiled potatoes and potato pancakes. They ate all four staple foods together. Previously, roasted meat, which they considered the most delicious, was now neglected because they were all eating staple foods. After eating for a while, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls were all quite full. Then, they sat on their stools, picked up their cups, and slowly began to drink the wine.
Lin Ye had already drunk three cups of wine with a piece of roasted venison that evening. The alcohol content of this homemade wine was not low. And each wooden cup held at least seven or eight taels. After three cups, Lin Ye was already feeling the effects. For the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, who were drinking for the first time, even one cup of wine made them sway. Everyone was already very happy, and with the stimulation of the alcohol, they all started giggling foolishly. After three cups of wine, Lin Ye immediately refilled his fourth cup. Moreover, Lin Ye hadn’t eaten much yet. The venison in his bowl was still more than half untouched.
After drinking one cup of wine, Grandma Nanrong could not hold her liquor. Ling’er and Xiaoya helped Grandma Nanrong back to her room to rest. As for Lin Ye, he hadn’t seen alcohol in a long time. Back on Earth, when Lin Ye went fishing, he would use cheap alcohol as bait. He would give half a bottle to the fish and drink a bottle and a half himself. If he caught a fish, the fish was a side dish. If he didn’t catch a fish, Lin Ye could still drink well. Whether he caught fish or not, he would definitely drink his fill. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fallen into the river and ended up here.
The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls continued to drink slowly, and gradually they started to cling to each other. Lin Ye drank several more cups of wine. Even though Lin Ye’s body had been strengthened by the Strength Pills from the system, drinking so much alcohol on an empty stomach had already made him a bit tipsy. Moreover, when drunk on wine, one didn’t even realize it, nor did it feel uncomfortable. But his movements had already become uncoordinated, and his vision had started to blur. At this time, several Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls had already gotten drunk and fallen asleep. The only ones still awake were Shi and Xing. And then there were the four little girls, Sakura, Diona, Setsuna, and Ling’er, who had eaten so much that they couldn’t drink anymore wine.
Xing hadn’t drunk much because she had been pouring wine for Lin Ye the whole time. Shi, seeing that everyone else was drunk, put down her wine glass and stopped drinking. The four little girls’ stomachs were bulging, and they looked at the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls mumbling and whimpering, with confused expressions in their eyes. They didn’t understand why the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls had become like this, but they didn’t look poisoned. They were all smiling more happily than before. Seeing that there was nothing else, Sakura, Diona, Setsuna, and Ling’er went back to their rooms to sleep. The four of them chose rooms that were connected. Before leaving, they wanted to say goodbye to Lin Ye. But when they saw that Lin Ye was in a similar state to the others, the four little girls burped and returned to their rooms.
Since they had moved the beds into the brick houses a few days ago, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls had been sleeping in them for a few days. However, today was the official completion of the brick houses, so it was considered their formal move-in. Initially, when each person had their own room, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls found it difficult to adjust. Sakura was so scared that she couldn’t sleep and ran to Lin Ye’s room. The other Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls also felt a sense of oppression. Having grown accustomed to sleeping on the large communal beds in the wooden houses, it was indeed difficult to sleep in individual rooms, as they had no one to chat with at night. However, most of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls quickly adapted. After all, the tents they lived in before were not as large as these rooms. It was just that after sleeping in the wooden houses for a while, moving into such a space again caused this feeling. And later, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls would chat outside for a long time before returning to their rooms.
