Chapter 6 Leisurely in Tianshui
Chapter 6: Traveling around Tianshui ()
After distributing money to the people, while the people were happy, Ma Chao hurriedly led all the brothers to quietly walk out of the crowd. He could do something for the people. Ma Chao felt that the brothers were very happy about this and admired Ma Chao very much. Only the little girl Ma Yunlu shouted, "Brother, my legs hurt, you carry me."
"I'll carry you." Ma Dai hurriedly said when he saw Ma Chao's face turned bitter.
"No, I want my eldest brother to carry it." Ma Yunlu Shuang grabbed a lot of trophy, raised his mouth, and stomped his feet and shouted.
This is a very savage girl. Whenever she sees her appearance, Ma Chao thinks that if this girl marrys Zhao Yun in the future, it would probably be a common occurrence for Zhao Yun to catch a fire in the backyard.
Thinking of Zhao Yun, Ma Chao couldn't help but want to go to the Central Plains. Maybe he could also pull a powerful general or something. Being a follower would probably be quite cool, but all of this could only be considered. Now that his family's foundation in Tianshui is too weak. If he leaves, he can't protect his father, Ma Teng, and will he do anything random?
In Ma Chao's memory, in Liangzhou in history, there seemed to be a guy named Han Sui, who was very powerful. Later, he formed an alliance with his father Ma Teng. These two men were brothers at one time, and they would attack each other at another, missing many opportunities in vain, which resulted in the end that they could only retreat to Liangzhou and wait for Cao Cao to slowly clean up.
In order not to let such a thing happen again, Ma Chao cannot leave easily. Unless Liangzhou is pacified, he can truly take off and travel around the Central Plains.
"Come on." When Ma Chao was wandering, the little girl had already held her and refused to let go. In her helplessness, Ma Chao had to carry her back.
"Dang! Dang!" There was a sound of iron clashing on the street. It turned out that this street was a street that mainly operated and made a blacksmith.
Looking at the blacksmiths in front of the door, waving iron hammers, and fighting red iron tools, Ma Chao touched the sword around his waist, thinking of his spear, and was naturally not satisfied. Now, looking at the lively scene, Ma Chao immediately walked to a shop.
"Young master, do you buy weapons?" The shop owner saw the visiting customer and hurriedly stepped forward and asked enthusiastically.
Ma Chao looked around and asked, "Do you have weapons made of stainless steel?"
"Young master, we don't have any stainless steel weapons here, but there may be one in the Persian shop ahead, so you might as well go there to see it." The owner heard that they were going to buy stainless steel weapons, but he was quite disappointed, but he still guided them in the direction.
"Thank you!" Ma Chao led everyone out after hearing this. The Han people of this era are rare in even the fine iron, let alone the fine steel. No wonder the blacksmith guided them to find Persian merchants.
When entering the Persian shop, the owner was a Persian with red hair and blue eyes, but he could speak fluent Chinese, which surprised Ma Chao.
"Steel? Oh, that's very rare, and it's more expensive than gold. In our Persia, there are few productions. There is only a small shop with a steel dagger, which I use to defend myself." This Persian merchant said with great regret when he heard that they came to buy steel.
Ma Chao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and said, "Shopkeeper, can you think of a solution? Time and price are not a problem, what do you think? If you can help me find talents to refine steel, I will give you a daughter, you might as well consider it."
"Oh my God, is this true?" The Persian merchant said in surprise.
In order to attract his attention, Ma Chao said: "I am the prefect, and I will definitely keep my word. You can go to the prefect's office to confirm my identity, and then do this for me."
"Oh, it turns out that it is the prefect young master, and the villain is disrespectful." The Persian merchant bowed quickly and said, "Prince, please rest assured. I will have a caravan to return to Persia tomorrow. It will take a long time before they can return. At that time, I will personally show off the items the young master needs for the young master."
When Ma Chao was talking to the Persians, the Ma family's brothers were already attracted by the goods in the store. Even Ma Yunlu, who had just called her leg pain, went to the ground excitedly and looked around.
"Have you asked Daming yet?" Ma Chao couldn't help but feel a big favor when he saw this guy being so concerned.
"My name is Apodora, and my Chinese name is Liu Fu." This Persian merchant didn't even regard himself as an outsider, so he even gave him a Chinese name.
Ma Chao smiled lightly and said, "Okay, this name is good, I've recorded it."
When Ma Chao was about to leave, Ma Yunlu and Ma Tie took a few more favorite items and insisted on buying them. Seeing this, Ma Chao had to ask Ma Yi to pay for it and buy it. However, Ma Chao told himself that he would never bring these little guys out in the future.
Before leaving, Ma Chao, who was walking at the end, jokingly said: "Mr. Apodora, I heard that all the women in your country are gentle like water. I wonder if it is true or false?"
"Uh, yes, it seems that Mr. Ma is quite knowledgeable about our country, and he will definitely discuss it with him if he has the opportunity." Apodora looked at Ma Chao and his party leaving, thinking thoughtfully. This Mr. Ma is really not simple. It seems that he has to be flattered. He may really make a fortune in the future.
Even after leaving the store, although he didn't buy what he needed, Ma Chao was not disappointed. He believed that as long as he had money, the Persian would definitely help him get things done.
"Brother, I'm hungry." Ma Yunlu had a lot of things to do. After a few steps, she had a demon moth again. Looking at the little girl's pitiful look, Ma Chao said deflatedly: "Then go to the inn in front to rest."
The sign of the restaurant is "Chang'an Restaurant". However, it is not difficult to see when the guests entering and leaving the restaurant. The business of this restaurant is good.
"Guest Master, there is a elegant seat upstairs, please!" The waiter faced everyone and sat down against the window.
"I want to braised Yellow River carp, steamed lion heads and ten kilograms of beef, make two kilograms of good wine." Ma Chao said loudly, and the waiter responded and hurriedly went to prepare.
"Hehe, my brother loves me the most." Ma Yunlu heard ordering two of his favorite dishes, and excitedly hugged Ma Chao and acted coquettishly.
"Congratulations to Brother Yishan for being a filial and honest man. I think Brother Yishan will be able to enter the officialdom soon and will be able to rise to the top." There were several men sitting next to the left, including those dressed as Confucian scholars and those dressed as warriors. The speakers were as loud as bells, and they were still a man.
The person who was flattered hurriedly said humbly: "What kind of virtue is Fu? How can you dare to have such delusions? Brothers, Damiaozan."
