I clenched my teeth, “Sure, just order one…”
……
Before long, fragrant dishes came out one by one onto the table. Hunan and Szechuan cuisines are truly the best with exquisite tastes. Hunan Cuisine emphasizes spiciness; originating from the early periods of the Han Dynasty when it became new style of cuisine.
I laughed, “Li Mu, you come from Yangzhou, so you must have eaten a lot of Jiangsu cuisine. Can you eat spicy food?”
TL: Jiangsu/Yangzhou = not so spicy food
Li Mu smiled, “Although I come from Yangzhou, I can stomach spicy food easily!”
“In that case, eat up!”
Pouring the wine, I stood up to give a toast, “I won’t be giving the traditional greeting but I do have to say a few things today! When I just joined Ba Huang City, I met with the General Family quite a few times. The first time was when you guys fought against [Prague] for a boss. If we hadn’t fought, we wouldn’t have become friends! Now, we both fought to protect [Valiant Bravery]- although we were defeated in the end – we still fought until the bitter end. Whether we emerged victorious or suffered defeat, we fought with all of our strength! We are men that fought for a promise, fought for a cause. We will never look back and we will never regret! Come, let us celebrate our lives and deaths together! Ganbei!”
TL: Ganbei is the chinese way to toast. Like Kanpai in Japanese.
Li Mu and Wang Jian stood up. Their eyes shone with excitement as they drank!
Wan Er, Dong Cheng, and Matcha only took a small sip–these little girls couldn’t drink like we could.
