Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Father Duer rode on his big black horse and walked at the front of the team. Behind him, in addition to the hundreds of strong young men brought from the tribe, there were dozens of large carriages, each carrying  There were more than a dozen slaves crammed into each carriage, adding up to five hundred strong slaves.  (._)

    "Young men, speed up a little more and try to get to the Han people's Taiyuan City before noon. Then sell these slaves. Dad has made the decision. Please have a big meal in the Han people's hotel. You don't have to chew the dry food.  Mutton!" Looking at the familiar scenery on both sides of the road, Father Duer shouted excitedly. He had been to Taiyuan City dozens of times and could almost touch it with his eyes closed, but the young men behind him couldn't.  Being a novice, he had to worry a lot along the way. Today he could finally reach Taiyuan City safely, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

    "Don't worry, Dad, we have long wanted to visit the Han people's cities!" After hearing what Dad Duer said, the young people driving behind also responded in a noisy manner.

    Father Duer and others are barbarians dressed in linen and sheepskin. Because the weather is too hot, most of them keep their upper bodies open, exposing their dark and rough skin. The greasy sweat mixed with dust covers the skin, making it look very dirty.  At the same time, these people exude an unpleasant smell of mutton. Coupled with the hot weather, you can smell it even from far away. Fortunately, most of the people on this road are barbarians like them, and they all have similar smells, so  There's no question of whether it smells bad or not.

    "Dad, I heard that Han women are white and tender, even tenderer than milk tofu. Is this true?" The young man with something to do made a fuss.  asked loudly.

    "That's natural. Although Han Chinese women are not as strong as prairie women, they are still very watery!" Father Duer also said with a drunken look, but he soon came to his senses.  With a serious look on his face, he warned the young men behind him with the same expression: "But if you gangsters enter the city, be sure to take care of your eyes. If you meet a Han woman, just take a peek. Don't stare."  Keep an eye on it, otherwise you will offend the other party and you will be sued. Do you understand?"

    "Dad, you have said it dozens of times along the way, we are not stupid, we will never cause trouble to you in Taiyuan City!" A young man said very dissatisfied.  Everyone else also agreed. Although Father Duer was the team leader, he was an amiable man. People in the team only respected him, but few were afraid of him.

    Father Duer also knows that these hundred and ten young men are all clever. Otherwise, there are thousands of people in the Luoyun tribe, and they will not just choose them to follow him to Taiyuan City. This time, he will bring them here. In addition to General  In addition to selling the slaves captured in the first war, another reason is to show these young men the world.  After all, the future of the tribe will depend on them.

    Under the urging of Father Duer, the group of them speeded up a little more, and along this newly built cement avenue, they finally arrived at Taiyuan City before noon.  When they saw the majestic Taiyuan City Wall and the young men from the Luoyun tribe who walked out of the grassland for the first time behind them, they immediately exclaimed in amazement. In the past, they only knew that the Han people were powerful, but they had no specific concept.  Now that I see this magnificent Taiyuan City, I finally understand the gap between myself and the other party.

    After entering Taiyuan City, Father Duer immediately found an acquaintance, Yazi, and found a suitable buyer through his introduction. The five hundred slaves were sold at a consistent price of five yuan each, seven hundred and fifty slaves.  The ten guans were obtained, which made the people from the Luoyun tribe smile from ear to ear. According to the rules, Ya Ren was given seven guans and five guans as a reward, and the rest they had to buy into various goods and transport back to the tribe.

    In fact, there are merchants buying slaves everywhere on the grassland, but the prices are extremely low. After all, there are constant wars on the grassland, and slaves are available for as many as they want. They are not valuable at all. For example, if the five hundred slaves they have are on the grassland,  If you sell it, you can end up with two or three hundred coins, which is pretty good.  Where is it like now, a trip to Taiyuan can double the number. Of course, there are many risks along the way. For example, they have encountered horse bandits, the most common horse bandits on the grassland, several times. Fortunately, the Luoyun tribe has such  More than a hundred young men were not vegetarians, so the slaves were brought safely.

    The slaves were sold and it was already afternoon. Father Duer also kept his previous promise and took the newly arrived clan members on the 10th, wandering around Taiyuan City until they finally came to a restaurant that caters to foreigners.  hotel.

    Taiyuan City is close to the northern grassland, and there are naturally a lot of Hu people who come here in normal times. However, due to living habits and other reasons, most of the Hu people have an unpleasant smell, so they can tolerate it when talking about business, but when eating  , but couldn't stand it anyway.  Because of this, many high-end hotels prohibit foreigners from entering.

    However, after all, Hu people are a large consumer group, so some restaurants specialize in Hu people's business.  However, these hotels all have a common characteristic, which can generally be summarized in three words: dirty, messy, and poor.

      Needless to say, it¡¯s dirty. Anyway, the people who eat don¡¯t care much about it, and the people who cook don¡¯t care much about it. Therefore, not only the environment of this type of hotel is poor, but there are several layers of grease on the table, and even the food and wine are not good.  It's not very clean, it's common to see bugs in the dishes.  In addition, because the Hu people have bad tempers and may get into trouble if they disagree, fights are common. Generally, as long as they don't kill people, even the government officials are too lazy to take care of them.  As for poor, it mainly refers to the poor food and wine. After all, the same food and wine in this kind of hotel are often much worse than in other hotels.

    The hotel that Father Duer found was just for barbarians. It was called Prairie Old Wine. You could tell at a glance who it was for.  Speaking of which, Father Duer is also a frequent customer of this hotel. He comes back to eat here almost every time he comes to Taiyuan, because the owner of this restaurant is quite authentic. Although the food is not as good as that of high-end hotels, at least many of it lacks oil.  There is little salt and no water is added to the wine sold. It has a pretty good reputation among the barbarians.

    The people who come here to eat are businessmen like Father Duer who come from the grassland to do business. For safety, they usually bring a lot of people with them. Because of this, this grassland old wine store is very large and can  There are two to three hundred people seated, and there are two large sheds erected next to it. If there is no more room to sit, you can temporarily arrange to sit there.

    When Father Duer and others came, it was already past lunch time, so there were not many people in Zhongzhong, and they and their group could just sit down, and the waiter who greeted Zhongzhong also recognized Father Duer, plus the other party  With such a large group of people, they were very enthusiastic. They first brought out the various cold dishes they had ordered, and then presented them with pots of 'roasted knives' sent from Chang'an. This kind of 'roasted knives' was actually proposed by Wang Zihao.  The strong liquor brewed and distilled from bad basic grains has a strong and strong taste. The price is much cheaper than Wuwang Zui, and it is very popular among the Hu people.

    As soon as the food and wine arrived, the young people who had just left the tribe couldn't bear it any longer. They reached out to grab the food on the table and stuffed it into their mouths. When they tasted it, they immediately felt that it was more delicious than what they usually eat on the grassland.  There is so much, and now you are fighting for me to eat the dripping vegetable juices. Before the hot dishes are served, the freshly served cold dishes and wine have been devoured.

    The waiters in the store are not surprised by the rude eating of these barbarians. There is even a rule in the store that when serving food, chopsticks are not given to these barbarians, because according to the custom of eating on the grassland,  They all use their hands, and even if they have chopsticks, they won't use them, and they have to wash them more when cleaning up. Therefore, unless someone specifically points out that they want to use chopsticks, there are no chopsticks in this hotel.  In addition, the Hu people who can use chopsticks here generally have a high status, because only the leader has the time and leisure to learn how to use chopsticks.

    Father Duer did not sit at the same table with the young people in the tribe. Instead, he ordered a large table of dishes and ordered two large pots of wine. This wine was not cheap Shao Daozi, but the authentic Five Kings Drunk.  After the dishes were all served, he looked at the sky outside and calculated that it was almost done. Then he walked out of the hotel and stood by the door with a respectful look on his face.

    Some young people from the Luoyun tribe also noticed Father Duer¡¯s strange behavior and stood up to ask what was going on. However, they were scolded back and told to just stay and eat without worrying about anything.  It was the first time I saw Father Duer lose such a big temper. This scared the young people of the Luoyun tribe. They all returned to their seats to eat and drink. There were such delicious dishes and spirits.  , and quickly made them forget about Father Duer.

    And just after Duer waited for a while, he heard a noise coming from the street in the distance. The noise was getting closer and closer. As soon as he heard this sound, Duer's face changed.  Song, although he hasn't come for a long time, his habit of waiting for that person has not changed.

    ??Drunk maniac!

    Crazy King!  "

    ? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Make a pot, drink a pot, and feed the mother-in-law with another pot

    The noise came from far away, and slowly, a very fluent children's song was sung by a child's voice. It sounded like many children were singing together.  Then a person turned around at the street corner in front of him. He was wearing a long gown with an indiscernible color. His gray hair was spread out, covering most of his face, making it difficult to see his appearance. He was walking towards this side with staggering steps. He looked at  He looked very depressed.

    Beside this destitute man, there was a group of children of all sizes surrounding him, singing the children's song just now while running around him. At the same time, some brave children picked up the stones on the roadside.  He threw it at this person very hard, calling him crazy while throwing it back.

    But this down-and-out man seemed to have become accustomed to the situation around him. He ignored the ridicule of the children around him, and showed no reaction to the stones that were thrown at him. He stared straight at the wine of Prairie Old Wine in front of him with bright eyes.  Flag, walking towards this side step by step.
