Chapter 297: Various
Cao Shuo and Wang Yan sat down in the room, while several accompanying guards stood guard outside the door.
The head of the steward glanced at Wang Yan, and asked Cao Shuo with some trepidation: "Childe, do you want to take a look at the girl in the store?" ”
I am not sure of Wang Yan's identity, for fear that I will cause trouble by saying the wrong thing, and then I still have to say something.
After saying this, the steward was covered in cold sweat.
"You seem to be hot?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.
"It's summer, and it's getting hotter and hotter every day." How dare the steward say that he was sweating because of something, wiped his forehead and said.
"I don't think it's that hot in the summer." Cao Shuo said: "I heard that there are a lot of Hu girls here. ”
Having lived two thousand years later and adapted to the scorching summer days like a furnace at that time, how could Cao Shuo feel the heat?
He even felt that the summer of this era was very comfortable.
It's a little smoky, but it's not particularly hot, and you don't even need a fan to cool off.
"Hui Gongzi, there are a lot of Hu girls." The steward said: "They were all bought from the Hu people by Captain Sima at the beginning. ”
"Call one of the Hu people from every place to come over." Cao Shuo commanded.
When talking to Cao Shuo, the steward peeked at Wang Yan from time to time.
Seeing that Wang Yan's expression did not change in the slightest, he secretly muttered in his heart that he still had the skills of a son and a girl.
In front of the woman next to her, she asked the girl Hu Ren to come to accompany her, and the beautiful woman in front of her did not have any unhappiness.
Except for Childe, no one should be able to train the women around him so obediently.
How did he know that Wang Yan was simple-minded.
When she came to Lingyun Pavilion, Wang Yan thought that Cao Shuo was just coming to take a look.
As for the girl here, she didn't know what she was doing.
Not to mention that Cao Shuo only asked the steward to call a few Hu beauties, even if he called all the beauties in Lingyun Pavilion, Wang Yan couldn't have any inappropriate thoughts.
After a while, the fat woman came with a few bearded women.
"Childe, the beauties are here." The steward asked in a low voice, "Do you want them to ......?"
"No, I'll just take a look." Cao Shuo's gaze scanned back and forth over the faces of several bearded beauties.
On the far left is a woman with snow-white skin.
Her eye sockets are deeply sunken, which is very different from the people of the Central Plains.
Cao Shuo asked, "Where is she from?" ”
"Hui Gongzi, she is from the Western Regions." The fat woman replied.
"Of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, which country is she from?" Cao Shuo asked again.
"Loulan!" The fat woman said: "Loulan women's skin is better than snow, and they are very sought after here. ”
"What about her." Looking at another woman with equally white skin but not so deep eye sockets, Cao Shuo asked.
"She's a Wuhuan person." The fat woman replied.
She was about to introduce it further, but Cao Shuo interrupted and said, "You don't need to introduce me to how popular you are, I just need to know what women you have here." ”
Next to the Wuhuan woman, there stood two other beauties who looked about the same as her.
After being introduced by the fat woman, Cao Shuo knew that one of them was a Xiqiang person, while the other was a Korean person.
"Aren't the Koreans similar in appearance to the Central Plains?" Cao Shuo asked, "Why is her skin so white?" ”
"Childe is talking about the Samhan people." The fat woman said: "The Koreans have close relatives with Wuhuan, and they all have such white skin. Only the three Koreans and our Han people look the same. However, the Samhan people in Goryeo were only barbarians and did not have much population. ”
Cao Shuo suddenly realized that his cognition was still two thousand years later.
At that time, the Goryeo race was indeed yellow.
He always thought that Goryeo in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was also like this.
Unexpectedly, the Koreans were actually white, and the sticks two thousand years later were treated as barbarians.
Cao Shuo thought it was a little funny.
The Great Cosmic Empire didn't even have a decent history in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
He only knows a little bit about history, where does he know.
Goryeo was mastered by the Samhan people, and it had to be postponed until the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years later.
First, the Tang destroyed Goryeo and moved the population to the Central Plains, and later the Samhan people established Silla.
Silla was a vassal to the Tang Dynasty, so they had only tiles and bricks.
Of course, Cao Shuo didn't care about this.
The Cao family is still competing with Haoxiong in the Central Plains, and the Yuan family occupies Hebei.
For the time being, the affairs in the north are still bothered by the Yuan family and Gongsun Du.
Cao Shuo only needs to think about one thing, that is, whether these Hu beauties can earn more profits for him in the Central Plains.
His eyes fell on the face of the last woman, and Cao Shuo found that she did not look any different from the Han people except for her coarser skin.
So he asked the steward, "Is she a Huns?" ”
"Hui Gongzi, exactly." The steward answered.
Before today, Cao Shuo really hadn't seen the Huns.
He used to go to the tavern, and he only cared about asking those Hu people who looked different from the Central Plains people to accompany him, and he never specifically called the Hun woman.
"I have the impression that the Huns should be darker." Cao Shuo smiled: "I didn't expect it to look similar to us Central Plains people, but it was slightly rougher than the Central Plains women." ”
"It was really dark when she first arrived." The steward said: "But it's not that she is dark, but that she is nomadic in the Hetao area all the year round, and the Huns rarely take a bath, so it looks dark!" ”
"I see." Cao Shuo pinched his chin and nodded: "Let them all go down." ”
"Childe won't keep them as companions?" The steward asked.
"I'm just coming to see." Cao Shuo said: "Let them go down, and bring some of your dishes, and I will taste the taste." ”
The steward complied and waved his hand to the fat woman.
The fat woman left with a few women.
She was just about to go out, Cao Shuo instructed: "I have to go to see Guo Gong in the evening, I don't need to serve too many dishes later, just send a few of the most distinctive dishes here." You don't need to have too much for each one, just taste the taste, and you don't need to waste it. ”
"Arrange according to Childe's instructions." The steward instructed the fat woman.
Soon after the fat woman left with the bearded beauty, several beauties who were delivering food in the store walked into the private room with the dishes.
Sure enough, as Cao Shuo said, there are only a few points of each dish, and even if one person eats them all, he will not fill his stomach.
Seeing these dishes, Cao Shuo had no appetite.
In addition to boiling is roasting.
Moreover, the food grilled in this era and the barbecue in later generations are not the same concept at all.
There aren't that many condiments, just a sprinkle of salt.
After tasting two mouthfuls of food, Cao Shuo stood up and said to Wang Yan, "Let's go." ”
Seeing that he was not satisfied with the dishes, the steward asked worriedly, "Does Childe think the dishes are unpalatable?" ”
"I eat this taste every day, and I'm numb." Cao Shuo said to him: "Tomorrow morning, you find a blacksmith to Cao's house, and I will teach you how to cook." The soldiers under my command will have to rely on you to feed them in the future. ”
The steward has a humble status, how dare he think that he has the opportunity to go to the Cao family.
Cao Shuo asked him to go, and he hurriedly agreed.
