Chapter 1324: Side Story: Having the Whole World in View (1)
Not only was Little Leopard unfriendly to the Westerners, but even Baozhu wore a look of disdain.
This made Mu Yangling even more curious.
The boy-girl twins were born in Guangzhou, so it was not uncommon for them to meet Westerners. Although they were young at that time and could no longer remember, there were many Westerners in the capital because of the development of the Great Qi sea trade.
When the boy-girl twins went to Qianmen Street to play, they would occasionally encounter Westerners. The two children were mostly curious about why they looked so different from them and their food customs. They would never look down on someone just because they were of a different race.
But this time, just seven or eight days after they came to Guangzhou, the two children suddenly changed their attitude.
Little Leopard said righteously, "Mother, if you’ve been to the streets of Caucasian Square, you won’t like them either."
Baozhu concurred with a disgusted expression, "Yes, yes, they’re so dirty. I’ll never go there again."
Humans liked to meet their own kind. Just like how there were always Chinatowns in foreign countries in her previous life, the Westerners also had a Caucasian Square in Great Qi, where Westerners gathered together.
In the beginning when there were not many Westerners in Guangzhou, their residences were mainly distributed near the Chamber of Commerce. But in the past ten years, sea trade had developed rapidly, and many Westerners liked to come to Great Qi to do business. The number of Westerners here increased drastically, but there were very few among them who spoke Chinese.
It was not easy to live in a foreign country. Although these Westerners were not from the same country, they were from Europe. Perhaps their countries were even at war, but outside of Europe, they belonged to the same race, so they liked to hang out together.
