Li Guaizi, Zhang Aizi and others gathered together, all with smiles on their faces and cheerful brows.

In the past, when we were in Lin County, it was impossible for poor men like them to marry a wife. Of course, the most important thing is that no one would marry to Lin County even if they had money.

In places like Lin County, in some places, you have to carry water from more than ten miles away to drink water. It is really very poor.

This immigrant arrived in the Western Regions and immediately lived a good life. Not only did he own a large area of ​​fields and pastures of his own, but now he also bought two wives at once. Even though they were women from the Western Regions, they used to feel that they were not as beautiful as the women from the Ming Dynasty.

But now the more I watch it, the more I like it.

All of them are tall and graceful, with curvy fronts and backs, big butts, fair butts, good fertility, and the key is that they are definitely good helpers when doing work.

Everyone laughed and discussed and walked outside the slave market. Behind them, Mayila, Elena and others looked at each other, looked at each other, and then looked at the strange place in front of them.

, and they all followed closely.

Women, in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, actually have similar fates.

When they came to the outside of the slave market, there were four-wheeled carriages parked here. These four-wheeled carriages were different from the four-wheeled carriages they were riding in before. They were smaller, but at a glance it was clear that they were not specially used for

The carriage in which slaves were imprisoned.

Li Guaizi came to his four-wheeled carriage, looked at Mayila and Alina who were following him, and said, "Get in the carriage."

Mayila and Alina could not understand Li Guaizi's words, but they also understood what Li Guaizi meant. Mayila was the first to board the carriage with her daughter in her arms, and Alina followed closely behind.

Li Guaizi's four-wheeled carriage is naturally different from the four-wheeled carriage used by the nobles in the Beijing and Tianjin areas. This is a four-wheeled carriage that can be used to pull goods as well as people. It is relatively simple and rough, but it still has some advantages.

Cushions or something.

"Huh~"

Mayila sat on the cushion and couldn't help but take a breath.

When they were imprisoned in the slave carriage, they were extremely tired, because they could not sit down at all, and it was even difficult to even turn around. They were so crowded that they continued like this for several days.

During this time, you are only allowed to get off the slave car when you are eating. During this time, you have to solve your own urination and defecation problems.

Days like this have been going on for several days, and all of them are actually very tired.

Now I can finally sit down and even lie down to take a good rest.

The same goes for Alina, who slumped down on the cushion, then opened the curtains and looked outside, looking at the strange city in front of her.

Xidu City was the original Alimari, the seat of Great Khan Ordo of the Chagatai Khanate. Most of the buildings here had been destroyed in the war last winter.

The buildings on the street now were all built with reinforced concrete after the Ming Dynasty occupied this area. They are high-rise, square, and equipped with glass windows that sparkle in the sunlight.

There are a lot of people on the street, not only people from the Ming Dynasty, but also people from various tribes in the Western Regions. Various languages ​​come together to form the unique characteristics of the Western Regions, and all kinds of shouts come and go.

,Crowded.

Mayila held her daughter Ellie in her arms. She also looked at the outside world with curious eyes. There was uneasiness and fear for the future in her eyes, but in her mother's arms, she felt a little more secure.

.

"Tanghulu~ Candied haws~"

Li Guaizi drove a four-wheeled carriage and walked slowly. At this time, a man selling candied haws on the roadside kept shouting. Li Guaizi looked back at Mayila and Ellie in the car, thought for a while and said: "What about the candied haws?"

Sell?"

"One penny a bunch~"

When the boss heard this, he quickly replied.

"Give me a bunch~"

Li Guaizi took out a penny from his pocket and said.

"Okay~"

The boss took the money and handed a bunch of candied haws to Li Guaizi.

Li Guaizi took the candied haws and turned around, opened the car curtain, pointed at Ellie and said, "Here's something to eat for you."

Li Guaizi's sudden move to open the car curtain also frightened Mayila, Alina and Ellie. When they saw the red candied haws in Li Guaizi's hand, they walked around and pointed at Ellie. Mayila also understood that Li Guaizi

The meaning of kidnapper.

A little scared, he took the candied haws tremblingly and said thank you, but Li Guaizi didn't understand, so he smiled and turned around and continued driving the carriage.

After the car curtain came down, Mayila brought the candied haws to Aili. Aili licked it gently, and her eyes narrowed slightly. It was candy, it was sweet, and she immediately started to eat it happily. What a kid.

If you have delicious food, you will feel better soon.

"Is it tasty?"

Mayila looked at Ellie who was eating with relish, touched her head and asked.

"Mmm, it's delicious and sweet."

Ellie nodded gently, then walked to her mother and said, "Mom, you can eat one too."

"I won't eat, you can eat."

Mayila smiled and shook her head, looking at the car curtain in front. Through the car curtain, she could still see some figures of Li Guaizi. Under the sunlight, Li Guaizi's figure suddenly became taller.

Maybe it wouldn't be too bad to follow a man like this.

Daming people, Daming men.

Li Guaizi and others drove the carriage forward continuously, and it was already Xiangwu before leaving Xidu City. Li Guaizi and others drove a four-wheeled carriage to a small noodle shop on the roadside outside Xidu City.

The owner of this noodle shop is also from Henan, and the noodles he makes are authentic Henan flavor.

"Fellow, have you bought a mother-in-law?"

Noodle shop owner Zhang Ping saw Li Guaizi, Zhang Aizi and others coming to his noodle shop and asked with a smile.

"I bought it, I bought it, I bought two wives for one person."

Li Guaizi smiled and said, and then he also opened the curtain and faced Alina in the car. Mayila said: "Get out of the car, eat, and then go home after eating."

Although they did not understand what Li Guaizi said, Mayila, Alina, and Ai Li got out of the car very obediently, and then followed Li Guaizi.

"Lao Li, you are buying two and getting one free, so you get a daughter for free."

Seeing Ai Li, Zhang Ping immediately smiled and said.

"I had no choice but to look at them and feel sorry for them, so I bought them together. But they didn't count my money and they treated them as gifts."

Li Guaizi brought Mayila, Alina, and Ai to a table, motioned for them to sit down, and also chatted with Zhang Ping.

"This can be regarded as a meritorious deed for you. You got a daughter for free, which is quite good. Or is it still the same old rule?"

"Yes, it's still the same old rules, but it's four bowls of noodles and two plates of mutton. They probably prefer mutton."

Li Guaizi nodded and said.

"Well, mutton happens to be cheap now. Our Tomorrow's Army swept across Da Yuzi. I don't know how many cattle and sheep were captured. I heard that the Chief Envoy of the Western Regions is planning to herd some more cattle and sheep for everyone.

, now you can buy a sheep for only fifty coins, which is very cheap."

Zhang Ping smiled and nodded, and then began to greet others.

Zhang Ping is a very chatty person. He remembers everyone's name and can find topics to chat with.

Next to the small noodle shop, Zhang Ping's wife, a Ming Dynasty woman, was directing several women from the Western Regions to work non-stop. Some were kneading the noodles, some were cooking the noodles, and some were seasoning, stir-frying the mutton, and roasting the noodles.

mutton, etc., and some were serving tea, pouring water, etc.

These women from the Western Regions include concubines that Zhang Ping married after coming to the Western Regions, as well as slaves that he bought, specifically for working, and the noodle shop is also running prosperously.

Soon, Li Guaizi's noodles and mutton were served. The hot white noodles were sprinkled with chopped green onions, and there were two large plates of mutton, which were steaming and enticingly fragrant.

Mayila, Alina, and Aili, whose stomachs were already growling from hunger, couldn't help but swallow their saliva. However, seeing that Li Guaizi didn't make a move, they held it back.

"It seems that mutton is really much cheaper. These two plates of mutton weigh a full five or six kilograms."

Li Guaizi picked up his chopsticks and looked at the two large plates of mutton in front of him, nodded slightly, and then said: "You are hungry, let's eat."

After saying that, he picked up the noodles with chopsticks and took a long sip. He couldn't help but feel relaxed and said, "Our Henan noodles are still delicious."

"Isn't that right? This craftsmanship is authentic."

Zhang Chaizi at the table next to him also nodded and said.

When Mayila, Alina, and Ai saw Li Guaizi starting to eat, they were also cautious. They looked at the mutton and then at the large bowl of noodles. Mayila and Alina hesitated, and also followed suit.

Li Guaizi picked up the noodles with chopsticks and ate them.

As for Ellie, she was a little kid, so she was a bit bolder. She grabbed a piece of mutton with her hands and started to chew it, eating it with gusto.

Seeing this scene, Li Guaizi smiled, then pointed at Mayila and Alina and said: "This is not how to hold chopsticks. Look at my hands. I have to use two fingers so that they are easier to use."

After hearing Li Guaizi's words and looking at his hands, Mayila and Alina immediately understood. They also began to learn to use chopsticks. At first they were clumsy and could not hold noodles, but slowly they learned how to use them.

Something like that.

"Eat more mutton, there are several kilograms of it, I can't finish it all."

Li Guaizi smiled when he saw their clumsy appearance, then picked up a few pieces of mutton and put them into Mayila and Alina's bowls and said.

The two of them immediately nodded. They had been eating meat since childhood. Although this noodle was delicious, their favorite was naturally mutton.
