It's night, in Liang Run's house.
Zhao Yao, Liang Run, Tongxi, Tongan, Dingyuan, Uncle Zhang and Dingshan, as well as the big girl and the little girl were sitting at the same table, eating hot pot together.
When we came back from Dahua Village, the villagers gave us a lot of vegetables they grew, as well as pork, chicken, duck, goose and mutton. By the way, there are also vegetables pickled by the villagers themselves.
This trip to Dahua Village can be said to be full of rewards.
Everyone sat together, eating hot pot and talking and laughing. The atmosphere was very good.
While Zhao Yao was eating, he didn't forget to feed Xiaobai the cut raw meat.
Bai Bai did not come to the capital with Zhao Yao, but Xiaobai came with Zhao Yao.
Bailu was going to Shu, and he was worried about leaving Xiaobai in the mountains, so he asked Xiaobai to follow Zhao Yao.
Xiaobai likes Zhao Yao and is very willing to stay with him. However, its temperament is relatively shy, and it is either wrapped around Zhao Yao's arm or hiding in Zhao Yao's arms.
At this time, Xiaobai was lying on Zhao Yao's hand, obediently eating his dinner.
The older girl and the younger girl were sitting on either side of Zhao Yao's left hand, and Laiman and Laile were squatting at his feet.
Zhao Yao would take meat from the table and feed it to Man and Laile from time to time.
This time I didn't go through the secret passage when I left the palace, so I didn't go to Pei Mansion. However, before leaving the palace, Zhao Yao asked the cats and dogs in the cold palace to notify Lai Man and Laile who were guarding the Pei Mansion.
After dinner, Liang Run took Zhao Yao and the others to visit the night market in the West Market.
The West Market is very lively at night, with bright lights and huge crowds of people, making it even more lively than during the day.
Because there were too many people, Da Niu and Lai Man were not allowed to follow them. However, Xiaobai still followed Zhao Yao. It put its Pancheng "bracelet" on Zhao Yao's wrist.
In the night market, in addition to selling delicacies from all over the world, there are also all kinds of strange gadgets.
Zhao Yao found that there were Hu people selling things on the roadside. They sold Hu biscuits, mutton, fine wine, furs and gestures made of various bones.
"How come there are barbarians?" Zhao Yao didn't see any barbarians when he visited the night market in Xishi last year. The last time I left the palace, I didn't see any barbarians in the Western Market. "When did you get it?"
"About half a month ago, some Hu people appeared in the West Market." Liang Run said, "I heard that the imperial court allowed Hu people to do business with us."
"Why didn't I hear about it?"
"These Hu people are not pure-bred Hu people." Liang Run introduced, "They are the children of Hu people and Han people."
The word "mixed blood" suddenly popped into Zhao Yao's mind.
Liang Runyan said: "I heard that the descendants of these Hu people and Han people should be allowed to come to Dazhou to do business first. If they perform well, then let the Hu people do business."
"The Hu people have a lot of good things there." Zhao Yao heard what Liang Zhaoyi said about the Hu people's area, "Furries, meat, medicinal materials, and the most important thing is horses. The horses there are very good."
"Want to buy some of their products to try?" Liang Run said with a smile, "Their cakes taste good."
"Of course I want to eat it, and I also want to eat mutton."
Tong Xi hurriedly said: "Master, can you still eat it?" When we were eating hot pot just now, the young master ate a lot. "Don't eat until your stomach is full. Your stomach will hurt when you go to bed at night."
"It's okay to eat one or two cakes and some mutton." Zhao Yao said, walking to the Hu man's stall, "Boss, I want ten cakes and ten bowls of mutton."
"Okay, young master." The owner of the stall saw that Zhao Yao was good-looking and praised him, "Young master, you are so handsome." This was the first time he had seen such a good-looking child. This child also has thin skin and tender flesh, as if he can squeeze out water if he pinches him.
"Thank you for the compliment, boss." Zhao Yao was not afraid just because the boss was a foreigner, tall and tall, with deep eyes and a high nose. "Boss, is your father or mother a barbarian?"
"My mother is a Hu."
"Where did you live before? Have you ever been to a barbarian place? Didn't your father and mother come with you..." Zhao Yao asked several questions in a row out of curiosity.
During this period, the boss was asked such questions every day, but he was not bothered at all. No matter who asked him, he would answer patiently.
"I used to live in Wusun, and the people there were all Han and Hu people." The boss introduced the situation there to Zhao Yao while making cakes, "Where we are, Han people and Hu people can intermarry. I grew up on my mother’s side and only came back five or six years ago.”
"Actually, I came back once when I was very young. At that time, there were wars everywhere in the Central Plains and there was no peace. My parents decided to go back to the area where the barbarians lived."
More than ten or twenty years ago, it was the most turbulent time in the Central Plains. At that time, wars were raging, coupled with various natural disasters, the people of the Central Plains lived in misery. On the contrary, the Hu people are a little more peaceful.
"A few years ago, our relatives came to us and told us that the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, the Central Plains was peaceful, and the people's lives began to get better. So, my father decided to take us back to the Great Zhou Dynasty." The boss said with a smile on his face. Said, "In the past few years since I came back, life has been getting better and better every year. Now we can all come to the capital to do business. This is something we never dared to think about before."
Descendants of Hu and Han people like Boss are very common in border areas. They will not be discriminated against, but people like them could not enter the Central Plains at will in the past, let alone come to the capital.
They naturally yearn for the capital city. Now that the imperial court allows them to come to the capital to do business, this is a great thing for them.
Zhao Yao and the others sat down in front of the boss's stall. The boss brought the prepared biscuits to Zhao Yao and the others, and then served mutton soup.
"Young master, you can tear the cake into pieces and soak them in the mutton soup to eat."
"Mutton steamed buns?"
"Young master, you know, you have eaten it before." When the boss spoke, he had a barbarian accent.
"I haven't eaten it before. I read it in a book." Zhao Yao lowered his head and took a few sips of the mutton soup. The taste was different from what he usually drank. The mutton soup he usually drinks has basically removed the mutton smell. The mutton soup he drinks now has a strong mutton smell, but it is not unpleasant to drink.
"Young Master, how does it taste? Can you get used to it?" The boss also knew that the mutton soup they usually drank had a very strong taste, and many customers had said they couldn't get used to it.
"Although it has a strong smell of mutton, it tastes very good." Zhao Yao tore some of the Hu biscuits in his hand and soaked them in the mutton soup, then ate them, his eyes lit up, "It's delicious."
Liang Run and the others couldn't bear such a strong smell.
"Young master, can you really get used to eating this?"
"Yes, as long as it's delicious, I can eat it." Zhao Yao grinned, "When I grow up, I will definitely go to the border to eat local delicacies."
"Then you can eat a lot of delicious food there." The boss said with a proud face, "We have a lot of delicious food there. If you go, you will definitely like our place."
"Really? Then I will definitely go there when I grow up." Zhao Yao asked the boss excitedly what other delicious food they had there.
The boss talked endlessly about the food and customs there. Zhao Yao and the others listened with great interest.
"Boss, do you have a lot of horses over there?"
"There are so many. The horses over there are very famous." The boss said, "Every household over there has its own horse."
Zhao Yao's eyes became bright after hearing this.
"Boss, can I buy your horse from you?"
"Of course you can. Our relatives have a horse farm and raise a lot of horses." The boss said, "The horses in my relatives' horse farm are all good horses. People from the Central Plains and Hu people often go to his horse farm to buy horses."
Zhao Yao glanced at Liang Run, and Liang Run understood.
"Boss, are you busy tomorrow? If not, we will talk about buying horses."
"I'm not very busy in the afternoon."
"How about we talk in the afternoon?"
"No problem." A new customer came to the stall. The boss said sorry to Zhao Yao and others and went to work.
"Yao Yao, if we want to buy a horse, we can't just listen to what he says. We have to go to his relative's horse farm to have a look." Liang Run said with a serious face, "Horses are not cheap, so you have to choose carefully."
Zhao Yao understands. He nodded and said, "Second uncle, you talk to him first tomorrow afternoon and find out what the situation is like with his horses. If the negotiation is successful, then, second uncle, you can go to Wusun in person."
Liang Run chuckled and said, "I've always wanted to go to the border and buy some furs and medicinal materials to sell back."
"Now we have to do business. Second uncle, you can take the opportunity to buy some furs and medicinal materials and sell them back." Zhao Yao suddenly thought a lot, "Let uncle also send people to Wusun."
"good."
"Second uncle, when you go, you also bring some things from the capital to sell." Zhao Yao tapped his fingers on the table, "Second uncle, if this boss is a good person, I think you can cooperate with him."
Liang Run is better at doing business than Zhao Yao. Therefore, Zhao Yao said nothing more.
"Wusun is close to Dawan. I wonder if there is a sweat-blooded horse there?" Zhao Yao said, "If there is a sweat-blooded horse, second uncle, please do whatever you can to get one back."
Agni is the offspring of Sweat-blooded BMW and other horses. Sweat-blooded BMW is not so powerful even though it is not a purebred. If it is a purebred sweat-blooded BMW, its speed and endurance must be better than that of Agni.
"Yao Yao, a sweat-blooded BMW is worth thousands of gold. Are you sure you want it?" Although Liang Run has never seen a sweat-blooded BMW, he has heard a lot about sweat-blooded BMWs, especially the price. It's not an exaggeration to say it's worth thousands of dollars.
"Yes, it's best to buy two horses, one male and one female." Zhao Yao said with a serious face, "Horses are very important and must be bought. By the way, the sheep they have over there are also good, you can also buy some." "The horses and sheep he bought can be taken to his fief when the time comes.
At this moment, Song Jicai and the four of them came to the Hu Cake stall.
Shen Sen saw Zhao Yao at a glance, pointed at him and shouted: "That little guy from last time!"
Zhao Yao: I have to arrange everything before I grow up and become a king and a fiefdom. What you should buy must be bought well.
Finally, I still ask for a monthly ticket! ! !
