Mrs. Xiao also knows a little about the slaves of the Hui, the Huifu people have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the skin is fair, before the trade between the two places, there were many powerful people who deliberately asked people to purchase female slaves from the Hui, just to do those dirty things, but now Xi Hongdou has brought back a male slave ......, what is this for?! Xi Hongdou is also helpless, and she swears to God that she has no crooked thoughts at all!

"Husband, madam, ......, the child is pitiful, save the child......" Xi Hongdou said, I was really afraid that Mrs. Xiao would not be able to tolerate this little male slave.

"What are you buying him for? I can understand that those rich second ancestors bought slave girls, you ...... "Mrs. Xiao also has a headache, and she doesn't think there are any dirty thoughts about Xi Hongdou's character, but if it's not my race, its heart will be different, and I want to be clean, why does Xi Hongdou just toss around blindly for three days!"

Xi Hongdou is like a little quail, Mrs. Xiao read this broken thought for a while, the little male slave next to him was a little scared, took Xi Hongdou's hand and said nothing, and finally Mrs. Xiao also had a little compassion, so she said: "Don't talk about it yet, hurry up and wash this child, it's all stinky!" "You can smell it from a distance, but what kind of environment can such a young child live in?

If Xi Hongdou was amnesty, he quickly led the little male slave back, Rue Xiang came over with a bath bucket, and then went to fetch water. Xi Hongdou took the deed of sale and looked at it, and the name of the little male slave written on it was translated into Chinese as Abdul, who was only five years old this year, and she thought that this son would be six or seven years old at first. 、

"It's called Abu, and the four words are also awkward." Xi Hongdou said.

Mama Liu also came over at this time and said, "Madame is afraid that the two of you are not very good at picking up children, so I asked me to come over to help." "Although Mrs. Xiao has a lot of opinions, she is not hard-hearted after all.

Rue Xiang also got enough water here, Xi Hongdou went to the door to rest for a while, and Rue Xiang and Mama Liu bathed Abu, Rue Xiang was young after all, and the smell of this body made her retch. Mama Liu made a basin of water and poured it from head to foot first, and the stinky mud on the surface was almost washed before people went into the bathtub.

The water in a large bathtub was washed cloudy, and Mama Liu saw that there were lice on this Abu's head, so she said, "This hair must be shaved too, otherwise this lice will not be easy to go." "I'm afraid that the lice will die, and it's not good to get Xi Hongdou.

Mama Liu was also quick with her hands and feet, and she hung Abu into a small bald scoop with a razor, and looked a lot more neat.

When they were finally cleaned up, and the people finally came out of the water hibiscus, Xi Hongdou smiled when he saw the people: "This is too clean." After the little face is clean, she looks like a cute child, but she doesn't have any clothes that children can wear, so she can only let Abu cover the point with a list first, and Mama Liu found a set of clothes for the next person to change the size, and Rue began to pour water, and finally carefully brushed the bath bucket, otherwise the bath bucket would have to be thrown away.

Xi Hongdou remembered that Abu still had whipping scars on his body, so he found a medicine box and gave him medicine. Not to mention the bruises on the mountain of her little arms and legs, as well as the whip that opened the flowers, she thought that if her children were beaten like this by human traffickers, she would definitely kill someone. There is only a mother in the world, and now this Abu is a child without a mother.

Mama Liu's clothes were changed and let Abu put them on first, this time was not too early or too late, Xi Hongdou could only go to the kitchen to find Uncle Fang to get some food for the child first.

Abu saw Xi Hongdou coming out of the yard, ran over barefoot, pulled the corner of Xi Hongdou's clothes and didn't let go, Xi Hongdou was helpless, so he said: "It's okay, I'll go find you something to eat, you just wait, no one here beats you!" ”

Seeing this, Rue Xiang took a piece of pastry from the table and handed it over, barely fooling Abu, Xi Hongdou took the opportunity to leave quickly.

When Uncle Fang heard that Xi Hongdou had bought a little male slave and came back, he couldn't cry or laugh, so he said, "You girl, how dare you do anything?" "It's the first time that a woman buys a male slave on the street is a "free" place in Kyoto City, right?!

Xi Hongdou smiled bitterly, she was still not suitable for this day, she just wanted to be a "bad good person", but she ignored the constraints of etiquette and religion that others thought so much, no wonder Mrs. Xiao was so angry before and talked about it for a long time.

Uncle Fang made a bowl of hand-rolled noodles, Xi Hongdou took it back, and Abu ate it, needless to say, the appearance of eating is naturally needless to say, like a hungry tiger pounced on food, Xi Hongdou also felt that it was difficult to explain. Before it was time to eat, Xi Hongdou wanted to go to the shop for a turn, but Abu still had to follow, this time the people were full, and they didn't let go of anything to eat, Xi Hongdou didn't have a trick, so he could only lead a piece to the shop.

The shoes are too big, dragged all the way, and when I got to the shop, I just went to the ready-to-wear shop next to it to find a pair of clothes and shoes for children, but because I shaved my bald head and bought a hat to bring on, although the problem of pedigree looks a bit nondescript, but it is always more pleasing to the eye.

Hu Ping's family has nothing to do at this time, they all look at Abu and feel fresh. The men of the caravan behind also ran to the front, watching the excitement as if they were animals.

Seeing that everyone wanted to speak and was full of curiosity, Xi Hongdou hurriedly said: "Don't ask anything, I don't want to say ......" She didn't know what to say.

Abu saw Hu Ping's daughter Feng'er, the two of them could play together, Feng'er took a small ball made of wicker and the two of them could play all the time, and Xi Hongdou could also take the time to go to the market again.

This time, Xi Hongdou was afraid of getting into trouble again, so he walked directly around the stalls in the slave sellers, and finally arrived at the place where cattle and sheep were sold.

There are not many customers at the stall selling beef and mutton, mainly because there are not many people who eat beef and mutton in Kyoto City, and it is not good to eat the smell, and the stall specially roasts the sheep in order to attract customers, and cuts it with a knife for everyone to taste. However, the people of Kyoto Castle pay attention to "quality", and it is a bit exaggerated to grab meat directly, so everyone is gathered around to see, and there are not many people who really go forward.

When Xi Hongdou arrived at the stall, he smelled the smell of fragrant oil in the air, and his greedy eyes were red. I think she was also a small master of food stalls, how long has it been, and she hasn't eaten much beef and mutton!

"Girl, taste?" The boss is also a woman, with a red veil on her face, very exotic, and when she saw that a guest was coming, she also hurried forward to greet her.

Xi Hongdou looked at the roasted beef and said, "Can you eat it casually?" ”

"All-you-can-eat!" The female boss said and cut a large piece with a knife, this year's cattle and sheep are growing well, the grassland has a lot of rain, the water and grass are sufficient, the meat quality is good, it is worried about the market, originally looking at the reaction of these Kyoto people, her heart is half cold, and now finally a guest has come, and she has to entertain well!

Xi Hongdou didn't twist either, pinched a piece of meat with her fingers and put it in her mouth, and then her eyes were going to glow, the meat was tender, a little firewood, roasted to the full of soup, and she felt dead without regrets! Take out the cumin you brought and sprinkle it with a little before eating, this taste, I want to gnaw my fingers.

As soon as the female boss saw what Xi Hongdou put in, she asked, "Isn't this the spice used by the Hu people in the north?" Can this still be eaten? ”

Xi Hongdou nodded, and then sprinkled a little bit for the female boss to eat.

The female boss was also skeptical, but when she bit down, the fragrance of cumin burst between her teeth, and she was refreshed at once!

"Good stuff, good stuff!" The female boss hurriedly asked: "It turns out that you can still eat!" But she also knows the price of this thing, and she doesn't dare to be too indulgent when she eats it.

The purpose of Xi Hongdou's visit this time was to ask how to sell beef and mutton, so he discussed it with the female boss. The price is indeed not cheap, but the meat quality is really good, and in the end, the female boss finally knew that Xi Hongdou was a grain merchant, and immediately said: "You can exchange it for grain!" ”

Xi Hongdou said: "If you want food, I can't give it to you at the lowest price, after all, there is no shortage of food in Kyoto City." ”

"That's fine!" The landlady said, "But it's cheaper than the market price." ”

Xi Hongdou thought about it for a while, and said, "Then I want this number too." Xi Hongdou made a comparison, only one percent less than the normal market price, and the price she gave to the court was not low, so it couldn't be less.

The female boss quickly calculated, and finally nodded: "Yes!" ”

Xi Hongdou nodded, and then changed a cow and a sheep first, but the other party was also happy, and said: "If it is more in the future, I can also give you a reduction of one percent!" ”

"Good!" Xi Hongdou went back to do experiments this time, so buy less first, if the response to this experiment is good, it will naturally be bigger and stronger!

Holding the cattle and sheep, Xi Hongdou first went to the grain store to bring Abu with him, and then went home, Mrs. Xiao was no longer able to say anything, Xi Hongdou tossed people and livestock, there was nothing that Xi Hongdou couldn't toss.

Uncle Fang saw that Xi Hongdou had made so many beans, it was not a festival, the weather was hot, and the meat couldn't be put away, could he eat it after killing it?

"The sheep don't need to be killed first, stay for two days, and the cattle will be killed first!" Xi Hongdou said.

Uncle Fang called someone to come, the process of killing the cow was not difficult, Xi Hongdou felt that there might be a bloody scene, so he hid first, Uncle Fang finished killing the cow here, and then divided the meat, and when Xi Hongdou came over, the kitchen was already busy.

The meat was cut into small pieces, and Uncle Fang said that he wanted to make a stew pot and eat it at night, and Xi Hongdou did not object, so the meat here was cut into large slices, and Uncle Fang used his cumin to make a few plates of natural beef when he processed it.

Mrs. Xiao knew that Xi Hongdou was tossing in the kitchen, so she let Xi Hongdou toss, she was so pot-bellied, as long as Xi Hongdou didn't order the kitchen, she wouldn't say anything. After a while, Mama Liu came over and said that Xi Hongdou had called all the people who were free in the house to the kitchen courtyard.

"What is she doing here?" Mrs. Xiao didn't understand again, she was having a hard time understanding Xi Hongdou's behavior.

Mama Liu thought about it for a while, and said, "I heard that there was a tasting meeting, so I called everyone there!" ”
