Chapter 260 Campfire Banquet
"Come on, guest officer, this way please." As soon as An Xiu'er entered, the shopkeeper warmly greeted him. This was a warm old man wearing a melon cap. An Xiu'er thanked him, and he returned the gift warmly with one hand.

Their way of saluting is quite different from the Central Plains, An Xiu'er has learned some before, but she can understand it.

But this old man also knows the etiquette of An Xiu'er and others, and he can speak a few simple Central Plains dialects, presumably because he has received some Central Plains merchants.

When An Xiu'er communicated with the old man in the language of the Western Regions, the old man was very happy, and treated An Xiu'er and the others with more enthusiasm, and even asked the shop assistants to bring out all the fine wines in their collection, and went to An Xiu'er to wait. and then enthusiastically asked the guys to prepare delicious food for An Xiu'er and the others.

An Xiu'er is actually not used to the food here, and she is not used to eating with her hands like the people here, she reached out and asked the guy for chopsticks, but the guy shook his head.

But don't worry, An Xiu'er brought her own chopsticks, she can use them to eat gracefully, as for the others, they can only grab food with their hands.

An Xiu'er couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw the way they were grabbing rice with their hands.

The old man saw the chopsticks in An Xiu'er's hand, and said: "So you want this kind of bamboo sticks, sir, I told you earlier, I know you people from the Central Plains like to use this kind of bamboo sticks, so you have already prepared them."

As he spoke, he walked to the back of the counter and brought a lot of chopsticks, and everyone changed into chopsticks, feeling a little embarrassed about his act of grabbing rice with his hands just now.

An Xiu'er smiled, and continued to eat. The old man said again that they were distinguished guests from afar, and a bonfire banquet would be held for them at night, which made An Xiu'er feel a little flattered.

From their point of view, they were nothing more than merchants who came from afar, and they just lived in his inn, so how could it be worth it for him to do so?So she hastily declined.

However, the old man looked serious, saying that the visitors are guests, and it is fate to live with him, and he must hold a bonfire party for them, so that An Xiu'er and the others can't refuse, they can only agree.

This time they came to the Western Regions not only because she was going to Kunlun Mountains to buy jade, but most importantly, An Tieshi and others were coming here to do business. This time they also brought a lot of goods. It doesn't matter if he has a good relationship, he must know a lot of people who run the inn from all over the world.

Therefore, An Xiuer still paid much attention to this bonfire banquet, and only told the old man that all the expenses at the party would be borne by herself and others.

The old man shook his head again and again, and said: "The distinguished guests come from afar, how can it be counted on you? I happen to have good wine and fat sheep here. When the time comes, I will call the neighbors near us to let you get to know each other."

What he said was in the Central Plains dialect, and it was bumpy, but it probably meant that.

An Xiu'er listened and nodded, thinking that when the time came before leaving, it would be enough to give them all the money, so she didn't refuse the old man's kindness, and said: "Then thank you for your enthusiasm."

The old man got her consent, and he attached great importance to this matter, and immediately asked the guys to hold a bonfire banquet. This banquet was on a piece of sand not far from the inn.

This Qianhui City is not big, the outside is full of grasslands and deserts, originally it was just a small town, because there are too many businessmen coming and going, so a small city gradually formed here, although it is not big, but it is prosperous and prosperous .

After eating, An Xiu'er found her own room to rest for a while. After waking up, she discussed some matters with An Tieshi. When she went downstairs, she saw everyone drinking and guessing in the lobby of the inn. They looked very relaxed and comfortable. An Xiu'er didn't bother them, she just found a corner and sat silently.

In the evening, the old man came over and asked them to attend the bonfire banquet. It was the first time that An Xiuer was invited by a strange shopkeeper to attend such a bonfire banquet. She was really nervous, and she must be cautious. , she thought, and brought some more guards.

When they got to the destination, An Xiuer realized that she was thinking too much, and nothing as dirty as she imagined happened. The people here are very friendly, and several bonfires have already been lit, and the mutton is roasting on it. With the sound of sizzling, some people poured wine on the sheep, and the fragrance spread far away.

Some people were playing the huqin, and some people were beating some musical instruments she didn't know. The atmosphere was very good. At night, the bonfire became more and more prosperous, and some girls also danced around the bonfire. Anxiuer Some envy them, but she herself can't do anything, not musical instruments, and can't dance.

But seeing their lively appearance, she also had a smile on her face, thinking that they are really happy. In the Central Plains, women can only be locked at home, embroider and do housework, and those who can learn to dance, except for some dancers Besides, there are women from some big families.

Needless to say, dancers, the dance they dance is not a joy from the heart, but a means of earning a living, and those ladies in big families, even if they practice dancing, it is useless. It's just a self-admiration here, occasionally in some festivals, in front of some relatives and sisters, how can I show my youth like these girls, under the fiery red light.

The men exchanged glasses, the girls went to dance, and even the two maids around An Xiuer were dragged away, and An Xiuer sat silently by a small bonfire with no one around, watching enjoy the happiness of others.

"May I invite you to a dance?" A man came over, An Xiu'er looked up, but he was a tall barbarian, with blue eyes, tall figure, slightly curly hair, wearing a luxurious barbarian suit, Reach out to her.

His eyes were as clear as a pool of clear water, without any dirty intentions. An Xiuer looked into the field, only to find that these men and women were spinning and dancing together, and even beside An Tieshi, there was one with a whip tied Rapunzel circled around him.

An Xiu'er looked at his outstretched hand, hesitated for a while, the barbarian smiled, and said in the language of Da Qi: "I don't want to neglect any guest who came from afar."

An Xiu'er smiled, thanked him for his kindness, shook her head, and said: "I like quiet, thank you for inviting me, you go to dance, I feel very happy watching you here."

"Are you really not going to dance?" the man invited again.

An Xiu'er shook her head and said, "Thank you, I won't go."

"If that's the case, then I'll go first. If you want to dance, come here." The barbarian said something to her, and then walked into the arena. After a while, he danced with a young girl.

An Xiu'er watched them bustle and bustle, and sat next to an old man playing the huqin, listening silently, the sound of stringed drums came to her ears, it was quite interesting.

After a while, An Tieshi was tired from dancing, so he came over and sat beside her.

The two siblings sat quietly for a while, and An Xiu'er asked, "Why can't you dance?"

"I'm tired, these people are really enthusiastic." An Tieshi said.

"It's better to be more enthusiastic, maybe brother, you might even find another sister-in-law." An Xiu'er said casually.

"Sister, stop teasing brother." An Tieshi said helplessly.

An Xiu'er smiled, and said: "Just kidding, big brother don't need to worry about it, but I'm also thinking about it for big brother."

There was some sincerity in her words. During this period of time, she had a personal experience, and only then did she know how difficult life is for a person, with so much suffering, no one can tell.

An Tieshi didn't speak any more, the two brothers and sisters were silent, they just looked ahead in tacit understanding.

"Brother An, come and have a drink." After a while, someone shouted in the crowd, and An Tieshi got up and walked over with An Xiu'er.

There was a table on the low table, and everyone sat cross-legged. The hospitable old man poured wine for the Anxiu brothers and sisters, and took a knife to cut the lamb leg for the two brothers and sisters and put them on their plates. Two people with chopsticks.

"Come, have a drink." The old man raised his wine glass, An Xiu'er saw that he was so hospitable, it was hard to refuse, so she also raised her wine glass, and took a sip.

Unexpectedly, the taste of this wine was very different from what she had imagined. Once she drank Zhang Zhenan's wine, she felt that her throat was extremely burnt and choking. Also feel a little sweet taste.

"This wine is not bad." An Xiu'er couldn't help but say something.

"This is the fine wine we specially prepared for distinguished guests." Hearing An Xiu'er's appreciation, the old man showed a smile on his face.

"No wonder, it's not on top at all." An Tieshi also said.

He used to drink home-brewed sorghum wine, and every time the wine entered his throat, it felt like a knife was cutting his throat, but sometimes he got used to drinking that kind of strong wine, and felt a special feeling .

If that kind of strong wine is a reckless rough man, then this kind of wine is different, it is like a strong beauty, she is as gentle as water when I first saw her, one sip into the stomach, slowly, Then the alcohol came up.

"Xiu'er, you have to drink less. Although this wine is not good, it has great stamina." An Tieshi reminded.

An Xiu'er nodded, but because the wine was so delicious and everyone's enthusiasm persuaded her, she inevitably took a couple of extra sips.

At the end of the bonfire banquet, we chatted and somehow came up with the intention of An Xiuer and the others to come to the Western Regions. The little old man said: "You are here to do business, but you need to buy something to go back. ?”
