"It's so bad. Yang Meng almost spit out after taking a sip of the drink inside.

But Liu Pianpian drank it with relish: "This is date juice, believe me, drinking this in the Middle East is good for the body." Date juice is sold in any country in the Middle East. I didn't get used to it when I first started drinking, but you get used to it when you drink more. It is said that the locals follow the customs, and it is better for you to get used to this taste when you get here. ”

Yang Meng nodded and drank the cup of date juice: "It's still very unpleasant." ”

I have to say that the return rate of the two here is absolutely high, after all, there have been no foreigners here for a long time, and people are also curious. And this Hamadi market is worthy of being the most prosperous commercial street in Damascus, there are really all kinds of shops, Yang Meng even saw a tattoo parlor here! And the tattoo artist of this shop turned out to be a woman with a tattooed arm!

It's a rarity!

Because of religion, the likelihood of seeing a tattoo parlor in the Middle East is lower than seeing someone robbing a bank at gunpoint on the streets of Han China!

Although religion still has a very high status in Shulia, but probably because of the war, many girls here are not dressed for religion, and even if they wear robes, they will not cover their faces。。。。。。

And what does the Hamadi market sell the most?

If someone asks Yang Meng, Yang Meng will answer without hesitation: sex toys.

What you can see in the Hanguo adult product store can be seen here, and it is sold in the cupboard.

Well...... This is also a feature of the Middle East. Women all over the world love beauty, but like here, many women's beautiful curves are hidden by robes, but they can't hide their love for beauty. When you take off your robe, you may be looking at a beautiful picture.

Let Yang Meng evaluate the Shulia woman? Big! Very big!

Anyway, Yang Meng didn't see any underwear sold in the underwear store below the C cup。。。。。。

In fact, Yang Meng also bought a lot of things when he accompanied him shopping, such as the most famous shell inlay products in Damascus, what plates and the like, as well as jewelry rich in Middle Eastern style, what turquoise inlaid silver, lapis lazuli inlaid silver jewelry and so on, and there are many antique bronzes that are very old: many of these things are very collectible, but in the current Shulia, compared with their own value, it can be said that they are bought at a 'cabbage price'.

He felt that he had bought enough, but compared to Liu Pianpian, it was really a small thing!

Liu Pianpian had a big bag in her hand, and she couldn't carry it.

Why did Liu Pianpian carry so many things? It's really not that Yang Meng doesn't have the gentlemanly demeanor to help him carry his bag, it's really that Yang Meng himself is about to bury all kinds of packages!

He really wanted to pack all these things up directly, but it was not easy to do so in front of Liu Pianpian, so he could only be forced to be a porter!

The most annoying thing is: Liu Pianpian said that shopping and driving are not fun, this time the two came out on foot, and Yang Meng doesn't even have a place to put things now.

Just when Yang Meng's legs were about to go straight, Liu Pianpian finally told him compassionately: I bought enough.

"Can we go back?" Yang Meng looked excited after hearing this.

As a result, Liu Pianpian shook his head, pointed to a building next to him, and said, "Since you are here, how can you not go in and have a look?"

"Where is this Nima?" Yang Meng directly burst into foul language.

Liu Pianpian didn't answer his question, but walked him in directly.

Yang Meng went in and looked, uh, a café?

"It's called Nufera Cafe, it's more than 200 years old, and the tables and chairs in it are all 200 years old, so you can feel what it's like to drink coffee here. It's just so time we're resting here!" Liu said.

Yang Meng sighed and said, "Miss Liu, if we want to go back, let's stop messing with these moths, okay?

Liu Pianpian said: "You also said that we are going back, and I don't know if it is the Year of the Monkey when I come here again in the future! Of course I want to walk here a little more and leave some good memories, don't you? You also have to understand me, I have been in the Middle East for so long, and all I see in my eyes are those bad things: injuries, sickness, war orphans, ruins。。。。。。 I'm going back now, I'm going to change my mood, right? Otherwise, I'll never forget this place for the rest of my life. ”

Yang Meng let out a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Yes, you drink slowly!"

He didn't believe it anymore, how long can you drink a coffee?

Entering the Nufala Cafe, it is really as Liu Pianpian said, the decoration style and the tables, chairs and benches are all traces of history, and the walls of the café are full of old photos or paintings, and there are already many people smoking hookah and drinking coffee here.

But unlike those Western cafes, it's a noisy place where people drink tea and chat.

Yang Meng found that there was a seat like a 'throne' in a prominent position in the café, he didn't understand, could anyone still sit on it and drink coffee?

Guided by a waitress no more than ten years old, the two found their seats.

This kind of thing is also very common in Shulia, that is, 'child labor', these children are almost all children who lost their parents in the war, and the government will place them to work as waiters in some places to support themselves, and some well-wishers will take them in, after all, it is just an extra mouth to eat.

The consumption here is not expensive, in fact, the main reason for the cheap consumption here is the economic sanctions of the Stars and Stripes countries, so that there is no US dollar here and can only use the Syrian pound of their own country, where foreigners come to shop, many merchants are more eager to ask for US dollars, and the war makes them also very distrustful of their own economy.

As soon as Yang Meng sat down, he heard a 'pop' sound, Yang Meng followed the voice, and saw that on the 'throne' that Yang Meng noticed just now, there was already an old man sitting on the 'throne', wearing a white robe and a red hat, but the originally noisy scene at the scene suddenly quieted down, even if someone was chatting, the volume was lowered.

The old man was holding a book in his hand, and when he saw that everyone's volume had become quieter, he began to read the contents of the book.

Yang Meng didn't understand, this was confused, but Liu Pianpian on the side listened with relish.

"Liu Pianpian, what is this for?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.

Liu Pianpian whispered: "You can think of this as a domestic 'storytelling'! He is now telling the story of Saladin." Do you know Saladin?" Yang Meng nodded: "Of course I know, Niu X's guy, who led the Arab world against the Crusades alone, and now many Middle East regions call him a 'national hero', oh, it was he who took the 'holy city' Jerusalem." The best thing is: he is incorruptible to the extreme, and when he dies, all his inheritance is one gold coin and dozens of silver coins, and he is a respectable leader!"

Liu Pianpian nodded and said: "That's right, he is the most powerful commander in that period, the 'Lionheart King' Charles I in the West and Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong in the East cannot be compared, just by virtue of Zhao Gou's unjust killing Yue Fei's father and son, you can stay on the shame list for a lifetime!"

Yang Meng scratched his head: "You still look at history!"

Liu Pianpian glanced at Yang Meng: "Just if you read books, I can't read history?"

Yang Meng thought for a while: "Then let me refute your opinion, first of all, 'King Lionheart' Charles I, although he did not defeat Saladin, but you have to consider that he fought overseas, from the first time he participated in the war at the age of 16 to the death of an arrow at the age of 42, he spent 26 years of his life in the war. At that time, the crusade he led was actually not large-scale, and the total number of them was 30,000 men, most of whom were sailors, and only 13,000 men could really participate in the war! The Arab world almost collapsed! In the end, if it were not for another war with Gaul, Saladin would not have been able to achieve the subsequent victory. ”

"In addition, about Zhao Gou, although it is said that the ordinary people who appointed Qin Hui to kill Yue Fei unjustly hate him, but you have to consider that he is the emperor. At that time, Bianliang was lost, the second emperor Jingkang was captured, Zhao Gou took more than 1,000 personal soldiers to cross the river in the south, mobilized personnel to defend the Yangtze River and Huai River in various ways to establish the Southern Song Dynasty, and at the same time appointed Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other generals to resist Jin, the Song Dynasty did not perish, and later killed Yue Fei because Yue Fei wanted to welcome the second emperor Jingkang back to Beijing, and also interfered with the prince's army out of control and other issues. So it's not as simple as a 'traitor'. Maybe if it was you at that time, you would have done the same thing as Zhao Gou. How history judges everyone has everyone's standards in their hearts, the key depends on which perspective you look at. Even Qin Hui was the 'main battle faction' at the earliest, and nothing was set in stone, especially people. Although Zhao Gou fled, he established the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Han culture continued in his hands, and the Song Dynasty survived for more than 150 years, which is an indisputable fact. ”

Liu Pianpian snorted coldly: "Anyway, in my eyes, Zhao Gou is a capitulation faction!

Yang Meng spread out his hands and was noncommittal. Reasoning with women? Liu Pianpian ignored him, but continued to listen to the old man's story about Saladin.

Liu Pianpian said that this was equivalent to 'storytelling', but what the old man said was really drowsy, his tone was calm, not to mention that his voice was still small, Yang Meng couldn't understand what he said, and Yang Meng was drowsy. If he wasn't afraid that Liu Pianpian would run away, he would really be able to lie on the table and sleep well!

Fortunately, Liu Pianpian's performance was still very well-behaved, and when the old man finished speaking, he gave warm applause.

"Now we can go back, right?" Yang Meng was about to collapse, why did he smash his phone? The most boring thing in life is this!

As a result, Liu Pianpian showed a sly dissolution to him: "Go back? No, I'm going to take you to another place and take you to experience the feeling of heaven!"
