Now is the hottest season in Curry, and the surface temperature at noon has even reached more than 60 degrees. Everyone gathers in places with water and shade, and the place where Fu tea is distributed is especially lively.

In the civilian families of Taixi, the men are usually responsible for managing the fields and raising livestock, while the women are at home weaving, doing housework, and taking care of children and the elderly.The child has nowhere to go, so he plays around at the door of the house.

With Cherry Tree Avenue, men go out to work during the day, women do housework and weaving at home, and the old people will take their younger children out for a walk, all the way to Cherry Tree Avenue.

They gathered at several places where Fu tea was distributed, where there were often tall trees, and they had the cheek to ask for a cup of clear tea for themselves and their children to relieve the heat.The used wooden cups are placed in a rattan basket on the side. When it is full, one of them will take the rattan basket and soak it in the water several times. This is considered to be washed, and it can be used again after taking it out and drying it in the sun. .

Because of the large number of people gathered, the merchants saw business opportunities, and they moved a lot of cheap small commodities to sell here.Those dyed bracelets, thick wooden shoes, and necklaces strung with drilled holes can all find their buyers.

There are also bards and wandering song and dance troupes from afar.

The handsome young man playing the yueqin looked at the crowd affectionately while singing the love stories and fantasy stories that have been passed down.

Exotic dancers swing their waists and perform many difficult operations that test flexibility.

Most of the people in Taixi are people who are good at singing and dancing. Immediately, some people stood up and danced to the singing.There is no heat when dancing, only joy.

This place is so lively, not only the children are clamoring and unwilling to go home, even Yunze and his party can't help but stop and watch.

"They don't dance as well as the dancers at home." Anu pouted, and at the same time very conscientiously spread the linen mat on a flat ground that was just shaded by trees, so that Yunze and others could sit and enjoy it.

Today Amei came to Xiaoshuidi, and Molly had to take care of the family, so Anu, the third maid, accompanied her on the trip.Anu looks beautiful and has a plump figure. If she were placed in someone else's house, she would definitely become a maid who is very popular with the master, but it is a pity that she is secretly cast, and she does not receive any attention from Yunze. As time goes by, Anu himself gave up.

It is absolutely impossible for His Highness Shenzi, who was blinded in the Kingdom of God, to fall in love with a girl in the mortal world.

She is now married to Aman, the son of Wusu, the housekeeper, and Assi, the cook, just last winter.

Yunze has already released a third of the family's servants from their status as slaves, because they are serious and responsible.After Oman became a commoner, he was eligible to marry Anu, a maid from the temple.

When they got married, Yunze even gave them a very thick and soft winter quilt, which was covered with a cotton cloth as smooth as a baby's skin. The cotton cloth was embroidered with thousands of exotic flowers and plants in various shapes, and inside was a It's really comfortable and warm to wrap a roll of silk like a cloud and cover it on the body.

On their wedding day, the kitchen specially stewed a fat goose and made many other dishes to celebrate their wedding.The old housekeeper Wusu's eyes were red with emotion, and even Mrs. Asi, who was always fierce and fierce, was extraordinarily gentle and loving in those few days.

Now Oman is mainly responsible for managing the cattle and copper plows sent to the wheat fields. Cattle and copper utensils are very important supplies in the family, so the person who manages them must be someone who is very trusted by the owner.Oman has to look at the cattle in the hands of the serfs every day, and carefully wipe and maintain the plows on the plowed land. He is busy all day long.

Although the workload seems to be huge, many people below envy him, just being trusted by the Son of God is enough for those peers to secretly grit their teeth.

Anu was very satisfied with this, and she cherished her life very much. Later, her parents found out that she was working as a maid beside Shenzi, and found a good husband. They wanted her to bring her younger brother, but Anu refused without hesitation.Let alone whether she has such power, even if she does, she won't do it.

Taixi does not say that fathers are kind and sons are filial. Children are independent individuals after they leave home.It is impossible for Anu to say that it is illogical to destroy his current life just for a word of approval from his parents.

Yunze was unaware of these undercurrents.The forces around him have filtered out all these things, they have already spoken, if anyone brings trouble and trouble to the Son of God, then they will make this person fall into complete trouble and trouble.

Yunze didn't just watch the show, he also observed the surrounding Curry residents and small businessmen, and listened to their conversations.

Someone was talking about the toilet.The public toilets have been repaired, stone foundations, mud brick walls, and thatched roofs.There are two entrances to the toilet, which are divided into men and women. Each entrance has six separate squat pits, and there is an extra row of small urinals on the men's side.

There are two persons in charge of each toilet, one old man and one old aunt, who are responsible for guarding and cleaning the toilets.They also have an additional income, which is to sell those big clean ass-wiping leaves, which can be exchanged for a few beans.

All toilets in Yunze are personally inspected. The floor of these toilets is paved with stones, and the pit is also made of stone. The bottom of the pit has a certain slope, which is easy to clean and well ventilated.The excrement washed away will enter the septic tank covered with stone slabs behind the toilet to ferment.

After using it for half a month, he went there again. The uncle and aunt in charge were very careful, and the toilet did not have a heavy smell, nor was there any visible dirt.Of course, this may have something to do with being fined for defecating casually.

For those who act recklessly, the red cloth aunt on the street will 'reason' with them.These red cloth aunts are the toughest, most shrewd and careful aunts selected by each street.The use of force is not acceptable, because there are patrols.

There are also fewer people defecating on the street, and they will also be fined if they are caught.

The Curry people couldn't adapt to this sudden mandatory requirement at first, and they complained about being fined all the time.However, the always kind Shenzi was extremely persistent in this matter.But in summer, the annoying and disgusting smell suddenly disappeared on the street, and I no longer walked carefully for fear of stepping on something inexplicable. There were even fewer mosquitoes, because there were fewer cases of illness from these insects.

They suddenly felt the benefits of the toilet.

This young man is here now, second-guessing how he thought about public toilets in the first place.

"I dare say that there is no more beautiful and clean city in the world than our Curry." He made a proud summary.

"It seems that the residents of Curry have adapted to the existence of public toilets." Yunze sat on the linen mat, leaning on his knee with one hand and supporting his cheek.The sleeves slid down, revealing a string of four or five slender gold bracelets on the wrist, reflecting the bright golden luster in the setting sun.

It's noble!The people around were afraid to get close to them, but now they are farther away.

On the contrary, some courageous businessmen approached quietly, and were not annoyed when they were stopped by the guards, with a smile on their faces: "My lord, are you interested in spices from Hammond?"

Yunze's head was covered with a layer of translucent black veil, he could see outside, but his face could not be seen clearly outside.

"Hammond's Spice?"

There is a group of high-level intellectuals around him, and Yunze is influenced by what he hears and sees every day, and he also knows a little about some nearby countries.Hammond is often mentioned because of the special national conditions.

Hammond is a distant spice country, in the south of Taixi.

Hammond is a country dominated by women. Women are the masters of the family, and the country is also inherited by the queen.They can produce a large amount of precious spices every year, and the royal family of Taixi will drive a boat to buy a large ship of spices every year, and use them to make incense for sacrifices.

In such a rich country, it is unrealistic to say that no one has made an idea.But the people of Hammond, from the queen to the people, are all good at taming animals, and they are also rich in wizards who use incense as a means.Legend has it that those wizards can use spices to cure diseases, and they can also use spices to turn people into puppets.

There are many legends, anyway, the final result is that the people who went to fight Hammond were wiped out.Everyone knows that although this country is not big, it is hard stubble.

"Since it's Hammond's spice, it should have been ordered early." Yunze asked with great interest.

"Well, we are a small caravan with a small number. Those housekeepers don't like it, and they don't want to introduce it to us. But I promise, they are all good things. You are well-informed and know it at a glance. Don't dare to fool Your."

Seeing that the other party was interested, the businessman immediately hit the snake on the stick, untied a package around his waist, and opened a wooden carved box inside. There were rows of dried slender branches in the box: "Please take a look. , a real spice from Hammond."

Another attendant reached out to take the wooden box, checked it, put it on a clean linen cloth, and sent it to Yunze.

When Yunze saw it, it turned out to be vanilla pods. Did anyone use this kind of spice in this era?He reached out and took one, not long, about fifteen centimeters, evenly brown, without spots or scratches.When pinched, it is soft, but there is no moisture overflowing, and there is a faint fragrance close to it.

The businessman was pleasantly surprised when he saw Yunze's hand.

Fat sheep, it can be regarded as catching a big fat sheep!

No matter how wealthy the family is, as long as the hands are used frequently, even if there are no calluses, there will be some pigmentation on the hands, but Yunze's hands are the same color from the joints to the fingertips, delicate and white, the nails are polished, and the nails are smooth. Smooth, nail flesh showing a faint rose red.

He also wore a small silver ring on his middle finger, with a citrine on it that reflected light from all angles. One could tell that it was the work of a top craftsman, and it was not at the same level as those held by those nouveau riche.

A pair of sharp eyes that the businessman practiced for many years, he knew by looking at the hands, this is a son of aristocrat who has grown up in a honeypot because he probably hasn't even worn his own clothes since he was a child.

You have to be such a pampered master, this is a generous move, and you don't care about the price at all when you meet something you like.

This is his chance.

"Is there anything else?"

The businessman nodded immediately: "Yes, there are many."

He called his companions who were standing at a distance to come over, and his companions also took out some samples.These spices were well placed, piled up in their carriages, wrapped three layers inside and outside three layers.

The businessman showed Yunze one by one, and most of them were common spices such as cumin, cinnamon, and thyme in the market, but there were also relatively rare spices such as musk and myrrh.

Yunze ordered a few spices that he had relatively little on hand: "You can quote."

The businessman looked at him secretly, but he could only see a layer of black veil, so he was not sure what the other party meant.He hesitated for a moment, not daring to quote too high a price. Businessmen in this era have no status in front of the powerful: "35 rolls of linen."

He carefully quoted a price that was neither high nor low, a price that they could earn and would not offend these aristocrats.

Yunze calculated in his heart and felt that the price was very reasonable, so he nodded.But he came out to play, and he went to the temple to deliver some things, so he didn't bring a lot of linen and shells that could be used as currency.

Then he said, "I don't have linen with me, what do you want?"

The businessman didn't expect that this nobleman was quite talkative, and he would respect his opinion and ask his needs without linen around him.

Because ordinary nobles would directly pay with things of similar value that they didn't really need around them, and they wouldn't ask merchants if they needed this thing.Sometimes the merchants have no choice but to deliberately give some damaged things of unequal value. They earn a lot of money in this business, but dealing with noble people is also very risky.

"Excuse me, do you have Feihua cream?" The businessman asked cautiously.

Yun Ze: "..."
