Because the time was not early, a few people didn't have the heart to hang out, and inquired all the way to the house of Yazi Anpo, a person in Yongqiao Lane, east of Pingcheng.

The location of Anpo's house is easy to find, and the mansion 'Anzhai' that can be seen across the bridge is her home.

"Who are you looking for?" The door was half-opened, and a little boy about ten years old poked his head out to look at Xiao Ming and the others.

"Does Ann Po live here?" Xia Xiaoba asked.

"Yes, you're looking for Anpo, please wait a minute." The little boy replied politely, closed the door again, and went in, and soon the voice of an adult man sounded in the door, as hoarse and unpleasant as sandpaper grinding on the table, and it sounded as uncomfortable as if a knife was cutting flesh on the heart.

"Who is Xuan'er here?"

"Daddy, there are five people outside who are looking for Anpo." The boy replied.

"Oh, Ann Po is taking a nap, you let Li'er call her!" The man's eyes were gloomy, and he raised his head to look at the closed door, and the moment he looked up, his left face was revealed, and the little boy looked at the half of his father's face, and his heart jumped violently, as if he had been caught by a fierce tiger, and ran away in a panic, even after a long time, he still couldn't face his father's face burned by fire.

The man was accustomed to this, and continued to pick up the firewood at his feet and put it on the low stake, and the axe in his right hand gestured, and the thick and round firewood was split in two.

When Xuan'er found Li'er, she was fetching water by the well, threw the bucket down the well with one hand, and lifted it up effortlessly, while the other hand was holding a big apple to gnaw, after the water was lifted, it was poured into the big water tank in the kitchen, and she kept gnawing on the apple the whole time.

"Sister Li'er, you are stealing food again, be careful that An Po scolds you."

"Shh~~" Li'er looked around nervously, and only relieved when she found that there was no one else, and whispered: "You be quiet, I haven't eaten enough at noon, and now I'm still hungry, whether you eat or not, I still have a steamed bun." The little girl smiled innocently, and really took out the steamed buns in her arms and gave them to Xuan'er.

"I don't want it." Xuan'er looked at the steamed buns handed over in front of her and shook her head, and said in disbelief: "You haven't eaten three bowls and you're not full." “

"But no, I have to eat five bowls at a meal to be full, but Anpo only gives me three bowls to eat, how can I eat three bowls." The little girl named Li'er was extremely aggrieved, she couldn't eat enough every day, so she could only steal something to eat while Anpo was resting.

"By the way, what are you looking for me, I still have to fetch water."

"Someone is looking for Anpo, and Daddy asked you to call her."

"Why do I call someone every time?" Li'er pouted, but she never stopped eating apples in her mouth, and every time she went to call someone, she would be scolded by Anpo, all because of stealing food.

Despite saying this, Li'er quickly finished her apple, wiped her mouth and went to Anpo's yard.

By the time Xiao Ming saw An Po, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

"Doctor Xiao is here, please come in, my wife is old, and she habitually takes a nap." An Po personally greeted the door, and apologized and apologized, she has the habit of taking a nap, and there are many things when she is older in the past few years, and she sleeps a little deeper every day, and when she sleeps, she freshens up and wears it, and delays for a while.

"No defense, no wonder Anpo looks so young, it turns out that she is well maintained." Xiao Ming boasted, sleeping beauty sleep is not maintenance.

"Ouch, really, Dr. Xiao is really joking, I'm a lot older, and I'm still beautiful." Which woman doesn't love beauty, although An Po said that she was old, her hand still involuntarily stroked her face.

"A few of you, please." An Po pulled Xiao Ming into the courtyard.

The yard is not big, an ordinary courtyard, a man in the yard is sitting on a low stool chopping firewood, his hand is up and down, the firewood is chopping cleanly, just look at the side face The man looks very good, resolute and handsome, especially his chopping technique makes Xia Xiaoba can't help but take a few more looks.

It's a pity that the man startled everyone when he raised his head, and was disfigured by a scar on the left side of his face that was burned by fire, the wound was hideous and full of holes, half of it was a human face and half of it was a grimace, Xiao Yu and Wang Tiandong were startled when they first saw each other, and dragged the corners of Xiao Han and Xia Xiaoba's clothes to hide behind them.

An Po led the people into the hall, and told Li'er to hurry up and serve tea and fruit snacks.

"Li'er hurried, brought the good tea I saved, and went next door to call Mother Yi and them."

"Oh." Li'er walked two steps and then turned around and asked stupidly, "Anpo, should I go to call someone first or serve tea first?" ”

When An Po heard this, she shouted angrily: "You idiot, of course you served tea first, and how many times have you been taught." ”

"Oh." Seeing that An Po was angry, Li'er hurriedly ran away.

"Let the girl laugh, this girl is slow to react, but she does a job of one top two." Of course, eat one top three.

"Very good, nice people." Xiao Ming nodded, although this kind of person is stunned, he will not have a bad heart when he is bored.

An Po smiled like a flower on her face, and said: "This girl is also a pitiful, she was sold by her mother, she is stupid, she is an elm head, she can't learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but fortunately, she is really hardworking, and she is diligent, so she has been doing some miscellaneous things at home." ”

Speaking of this girl, An Po is very helpless, stupid and stupid only knows how to eat live, can eat the amount of food of two men in one meal, and looks stout, she has not sold it in her hands for more than a year, and it was finally sold in the first two months, and before she was happy, she was retreated by the main family in a few days, saying that she beat the young master with a fist, for which she lost money and apologized.

You talk about this girl's female celebrity cooking skills, she doesn't know anything, she only has a brute force, she has a big fist and wants to beat people, what can she do in the future, can you raise her for the rest of her life.

She even suspected that her mother had sold her because she had eaten too much.

An Po was so worried that her white hair came out, what is the use of a woman's family only brute force fists, marrying and having a baby is the most important, of course, she will not say these to let Xiao Ming know, well, she will not say it if she is killed.

She also relied on Xiao Ming to buy people away.

"I also have a small courtyard next door, which is lived by people I bought, usually embroider some flowers and grass, learn some etiquette rules, you don't know that the big families in Pingcheng like to pick girls here with me, I teach well here, serve people and be thoughtful, there are girls in the room of the lady and young master, or choose a girl to marry the girl, I have all here, buy it and train it and you can use it directly."

An Po's business is very good, and the girls who have not sold it at home have asked them to embroider some handkerchiefs and screens at home in addition to learning etiquette rules, of course, these are all she took to sell for silver.

She said that these are nothing more than to say that her people are of good quality, have craftsmanship, and understand the rules, so that the price is high, but Xiao Ming is not buying these girls who can't lift their shoulders and can't resist, she wants something that can really work.
