Chapter 79 Temple Fair 8
Maxley, wearing a white turban, grabbed old man Zhong by the collar, his face showing anger and forbearance.
Everyone was confused.
Liu Shiqi listened to what he said for a few seconds and then he knew what was wrong with him.
She quickly stepped forward and pulled Maxley's hand off.
He put his hands on his hips and talked a lot.
Maxley was stunned.
He also said a lot of gibberish.
Liu Shiqi spread his hands and said a lot more.
Finally, Maxley was stunned and looked at Old Man Zhong a few times. He looked a little embarrassed.
He touched his head, then put one hand on his chest and bowed to Old Man Zhong.
Old man Zhong looked confused.
He pointed at Maxley and asked Liu Shiqi.
"What's wrong with him?"
"Nervous?"
"Look at the way he looked just now, it looked like he wanted to beat me up!"
"Did I not provoke him?"
"I'm also worried that this is the etiquette of that country and I got it wrong!"
Otherwise, a bunch of them would have pinned Maxley to the ground.
Liu Shiqi rolled his eyes and looked at Old Man Zhong.
"Grandfather, did you mention his wife?"
Grandfather blinked and nodded.
"Yes! How did you know?"
Liu Shiqi pouted at Maxley, "He said so!"
Old man Zhong didn't think anything of it.
He said, "When I went to change his friend's medicine today, I happened to see his wife!"
"Her daughter-in-law's face is yellow, her hair is dry, and there are still dark circles under her eyes!"
"It's obvious that he's unwell!"
"I thought that doctors are kind-hearted, so I asked him if he wanted some treatment!"
Liu Shiqi raised his eyebrows, "Grandfather, you and him don't speak the same language, how do you let him know that you are talking about his wife?"
As a matter of course, Old Man Zhong gestured with his hands to show his chest and buttocks.
"Big breasts, big butt! Anyone can tell I'm talking about a woman!"
Liu Shiqi rolled his eyes.
"That's right!"
"People in their country have a taboo!"
"Outsiders can't comment on their wives casually!"
"You could say it's not worth mentioning!"
"You can't give their wives gifts or things either!"
Old man Zhong was stunned.
"What a weird custom!"
Liu Shiqi spread his hands and said, "It's just their custom over there!"
"So, grandpa, what you just said, he feels that you are insulting him and his wife!"
"That's why I'm angry!"
"Because you saved his friend, he didn't beat you up directly!"
Old Man Zhong slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, it's unfair! I just meant well!"
Liu was rolling his eyes beside him.
"You just have such good intentions!"
"Why did you mention his wife? He almost beat you up!"
Old man Zhong was so angry that he hit Liu Zheng on the head.
Liu Zheng cried out in pain.
He was the one who got hurt in the end...
Maxley knew that old man Zhong meant well and felt a little embarrassed.
He explained it to Liu Shiqi.
Liu Shiqi conveyed this to his family.
"His wife and he have been childhood sweethearts, but his wife's family is very strict, especially with girls!"
"His wife is not having a good time at home!"
"This time, he brought his wife from far away just to get rid of the oppression from his family!"
"I suffered a lot along the way!"
"That's why you look thinner!"
Overall, Maxley is pretty good to his wife.
He couldn't accept others bullying and belittling his wife.
The misunderstanding was finally resolved.
Old Man Zhong and the others also relaxed.
Hao and Bai Shuang had just come back, and when they heard that everything was fine, they went out to check on the stall again.
Liu Changying also prepared to go to the back mountain to continue hunting game.
Liu Zheng also continued to paint his portrait of the Virgin Mary.
Anyway, everyone should just do what they are supposed to do.
Liu Shiqi also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Mai Sili.
Liu Shiqi looked at him.
Maxley quickly spoke a lot.
Liu Shiqi's eyes lit up.
It turned out that Maxley accidentally saw their medicated soap yesterday and felt it was very novel.
I want to buy one and try it out. Also asked if they had anything else like this.
He wanted to take some back home to try.
He also wanted Liu Shiqi to be his translator.
Take him around the street.
He wanted to buy some things, but there was no way to communicate because of the language barrier.
In fact, this matter was originally handled by his friend, a businessman from Daxia.
But his friend has something to do today and can't come.
Besides, his friend also has his own business and doesn’t want to bother him all the time.
So Maxley thought of Liu Shiqi.
Of course, the money for buying things is the money for buying things, and the money for translation is the money for translation.
As he spoke, he handed over a small cowhide bag containing five taels of silver.
This is the money for Liu Shiqi's translation for the past two days.
When Liu Zheng saw this, his eyes lit up.
He could only earn one or two taels of silver a day by painting broken hands.
His younger sister is indeed the best!
Liu Shiqi agreed readily.
Hao happily packed a bar of medicated soap, a box of various beauty pills, a facial mask, etc.
Liu Shiqi also thoughtfully wrote the instructions for use in Arabic.
Maxley didn't expect that Liu Shiqi could not only speak their language, but also write their characters.
Moreover, she wrote very fluently without any mistakes.
Maxley was even more polite to Liu Shiqi.
Because in their country, only people above the nobility would learn to write.
In fact, most ordinary people and women in their country cannot write.
Since Liu Shiqi can write, he is not an ordinary person.
Or the person who taught her was not an ordinary person.
Liu Shiqi saw that what he made had his first sale.
Or sell it to foreigners.
Maybe it will be exported abroad before it spreads throughout the Great Xia Kingdom.
She was in a very good mood immediately.
Maxley is even more pleasing to the eye.
Liu Shiqi followed Maxley and visited each stall one by one.
What he asked about most were herbs, various animal skins, and some exquisite handicrafts.
Liu Shiqi went from store to store asking for prices and bargaining.
Not to mention this little foreigner, he is quite good at doing business.
The reason why he is called little foreigner is because he has a big beard and looks very weathered.
At first, Liu Shiqi thought he was in his thirties or forties, but after all the fuss, it turned out that Maxley was only in his early twenties.
They gained a lot after a day's work.
I bought two cartloads of various medicinal herbs.
and two carriages of various leathers, and one carriage of various exquisite handicrafts.
Liu Shiqi also suddenly remembered that the bamboo baskets woven by Zhuang Yan, of all sizes, could no longer fit in his room.
They were all sold to Maxley.
Maxley was quite surprised that Zhuang Yan had such excellent skills at such a young age.
Zhuang Yan also earned three taels of silver.
After Maxley and his men left. Liu Shiqi was so tired that he just lay down on the bed and didn't want to talk anymore.
But suddenly, their house was surrounded.
Liu Zheng quickly dragged her out.
Liu Shiqi looked at the people in the yard, all staring at her.
She looked confused.

What are these people going to do? 】
