The Peking duck was replaced with a meal of lamb spine hotpot.
Lamb spine hotpot pairs even better with drinks, and Old Jin, truly craving flavor, suggested switching from liquor to a couple of bottles of beer.
His reasoning was quite strong.
The August First Medal, after all, deserved some celebration, right?
Fang Huai twitched at the sound of this.
The highest military honor celebrated with two bottles of beer, if word got out, that would be an insult to the honor.
During the trip to Beijing, Fang Huai wore his honors for all to see, and even made some progress on system-related negotiations, so he went ahead and ordered a bottle of the recently popular Little Panther Liquor to accompany Old Jin for a drink.
Seeing Fang Huai letting loose, Old Cao did as well, for he was quite the drinker himself, his drinking buddy being the Captain of the People's Armed Police, but with a heavy workload this year, he had barely touched alcohol in almost six months.
