Chapter 378: Hamadi Market

Yang Meng finally understood what Liu Pianpian said: I am also a woman.

Liu Pianpian asked Yang Meng to follow her shopping? That was obviously to let her follow her bag!

This woman has superpowers, and their superpower is that they are not afraid of getting tired when they ------ go shopping!

asked Yang Meng to take pictures again, and asked Yang Meng to carry the bag。。。。。。

Damascus is not as feared as one might think, in fact, people here really love life. Everything seems to be so business-like, the commercial street has also come back to life, and Yang Meng even saw Huawei stores and Xiaomi stores. 90% of the goods in the commercial street are from the Han Kingdom, and almost all of them can be found in the Yiwu small commodity market.

And the love of the people here for the Han people is also from the heart.

Everywhere Yang Meng went, he could hear someone saying to himself: Aha-la-Saharan. Well...... It probably means 'hello' or something like that.

Yang Meng thought of the words of the satellite, and walked on the streets of Shulia with a camera hanging around his neck, well, it was nothing big at first, it can only show that Shulia people like to take pictures, and many people asked Yang Meng to take pictures of them along the way.

Note: It's a photo of them, not a group photo. They just asked Yang Meng to take pictures of themselves, and they didn't want photos and left, making Yang Meng confused, what does this mean?

Is it to prove one's existence in this way?

Of course, there are also many people who saw Yang Meng and Liu Pianpian enthusiastically taking out their mobile phones to take a group photo, well, this is easy to understand.

But later, Yang Meng felt that something was wrong:

Along the way, at least they were checked more than ten times by the armed police, that is, to check the content of the camera, and the police here are still very sensitive to foreigners taking pictures with cameras. Yang Meng actually has a lot better for the Han people------ Yang Meng saw a Western tourist who was confiscated by the police with a camera memory card, and he didn't know what was filmed inside.

And what surprised Yang Meng even more was that there were countless 'secret police' here.

Yang Meng found out that the reason for them was this, he and Liu Pianpian met a group of local young people, like college students or high school students, and Liu Pianpian had an intimate conversation: Liu Pianpian's fluent Arabic made Yang Meng suspect that she was a local, and she didn't cough at all。。。。。。

Through questioning, he learned that these young people were students at the University of Damascus, and that Liu Pianpian had given several lectures to these students at Damascus University, so they recognized Liu Pianpian and greeted her.

I don't know what Liu Pianpian told them, anyway, this group of students is also interested in Yang Meng, and they took photos with Yang Meng one after another.

Just take it.

As a result, Yang Meng saw several young people standing aside, so he invited them to take a group photo.

The young men shook their heads desperately, and one of them directly lifted his T-shirt with a pistol pinned to his waist.

Only then did Yang Meng know that they were secret police, and Yang Meng could take photos with ordinary people, but not with them.

Although the situation has eased up now, Shulia still has not relaxed its vigilance, and there will still be gunfights, explosions, and the like. And the large number of armed police and secret police in the streets are the floodgates that keep the residents of Damascus safe.

The fact that the 'traitors' in the Han embassy were preparing to plant bombs was the information obtained by these Damascus secret police.

How many secret police are there? God knows!

Anyway, Yang Meng regretted wearing the 'plum blossom brand sportswear' for the first time after coming out, and he knew that he would wear the uniform of the peacekeeping force, at least he could have a lot less trouble!

The security checks in Damascus are really not inexhaustible: there must be heavily armed soldiers patrolling within 100 meters! The secret police do not know how many。。。。。。

Except for so many policemen, everything else in Damascus is now back to normal, the streets are full of people and cars, taxis are running all over the ground,

Well, the taxis here make Yang Meng feel kind------ almost all of them are Chery QQ, and the yellow body looks so cute.

And since coming out, this Shulia taxi is the cheapest, the same ride, the price is about half of the domestic price. In fact, because of the war, prices here are really low.

Traces of war can be seen everywhere in Damascus, but you can also see that it was once very wealthy, and there were viaducts and the like, but almost all of them were destroyed in the war. There are also many beggars on the streets, and a significant number of them are disabled.

Many of these people were heroes in times of war.

As early as 2015, only 150,000 of the 300,000 government troops in Shulia were fought, and today, although they continue to replenish their troops and fight bloodily, there are more casualties. Many people have survived, but have been left with lifelong disabilities.

But the people here are not as disgraced by the war as everyone thinks. On the contrary, the people here are very fond of dressing up, they love to be clean, they look very decent, and their mental outlook is excellent! Almost everyone has perfume on their bodies and carefully groomed their hair, and there are groups of handsome guys and beauties on the street, and they all look pleasing to the eye.

It is said that Gallic perfume is famous all over the world, and those who say this should really come to Shulia.

Liu Pianpian took Yang Meng to a perfume shop, where an old perfumer arranged the perfume by himself: no matter what fragrance you want, what famous perfume of international brands, people can configure the same fragrance of perfume in three or five minutes, but the price is only one percent of the perfume of the big brand。。。。。。。

This kind of technology can make those perfume lovers in China crazy!

Liu Pianpian took Yang Meng to the most famous 'Hamadi Market' in the old town of Damascus, which is the commercial center of Damascus, which has existed since the ancient Roman period and has a history of more than 2,000 years! The whole market is not very large, and the buildings on both sides of the road are connected by steel roofs to become interior buildings. This canopy was built more than 100 years ago when Shulia was under Ottoman rule. Today, the Hamadi market is still the most popular business area for the whole of Damascus.

However, it is very difficult to get in, and now the Hamadi market has been closed, and if you want to enter it, you have to go through a strict search by the military. After all, crowded places are also the most likely places for bomb attacks, and even if you enter the market, there are groups of armed soldiers patrolling back and forth.

Liu Pianpian entered the market but sped up her pace, and Yang Meng was a little nervous: "Liu Pianpian, what are you doing so fast? What are you going to do?"

Liu Pianpian smiled slightly: "Mr. Yang, don't be so nervous, follow me, I'll take you to a good place." ”

"Good place?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.

Liu Pianpian nodded and took her to a shop on the side of the road.

When he got here, Yang Meng didn't see what was sold in the store, but first saw countless photos posted on the wall, which seemed to be photos of local celebrities, and Yang Meng even saw a photo of the current president and boss of Shulia. What kind of shop is this so good?

Take a closer look, a big open kitchen, and take a closer look, hey, ice cream parlor.

Liu Pianpian introduced: "This ice cream shop is called 'Bagdash,' and it has a history of 130 years now! When you come to Damascus, you don't eat ice cream here? Then you haven't been to Damascus!"

Yang Meng was a little unconvinced: "Is there such a cow!"

"You'll know if you taste it!" Liu Pianpian said.

Well, let's not talk about what it tastes like, but the open kitchen of the ice cream parlor shows their ice cream making process directly on the spot, and I have to say that the process of making ice cream alone is attractive enough!

They use whole milk to make ice cream, and they watch the ice cream chef rubbing and kneading there, and they don't know that they think they are making hand-rolled noodles!

I heard that they make ice cream with roses and frankincense in the toppings, and at the end they add pistachio crumbles, which is full of milky flavor, chewy and fruity.

Yang Meng's evaluation of this ice cream is: It's really delicious!

Suddenly, the scene from the movie "God of Food" came to his mind: Why am I crying? Because I am afraid that I will never be able to eat such delicious ice cream again。。。。。。

Should this boss be kidnapped?

Yang Meng actually had this idea in his mind.

Liu Pianpian seemed to have guessed Yang Meng's thoughts: "Haha, do you want to contact the owner of this store to move to Hanguo?" Let me tell you, I have had this idea for a long time, but unfortunately although the owner of the family has opened a branch in Jordan, he is unwilling to go to Han Country so far away. When Damascus was at its worst, the Homs rebels and government forces were fighting in Damascus, and it turned out that there was nothing wrong here: both sides of the war also came to eat ice cream, right?"

Yang Meng shook her head and said: "Think about it, people eat sweet ice cream when they are desperate; didn't Zhang Ailing also record in the book the story of Hong Kong Island during the war, and she and her classmates dressed up beautifully and risked the danger to find ice cream? This is an attitude of longing for a better life!"

As a result, it was Liu Pianpian's turn to be surprised: "Ah, do you still know Zhang Ailing?"

Yang Meng's face was black: "Please, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't read, I've read a lot of books." You think I'm a muscular, simple-minded person?"

He is still modest when he says this, if you talk about the number of books, Liu Pianpian is a 'little friend'.

Liu Pianpian laughed: "Okay, it's my fault. The point is that almost all of my father's men are like that。。。。。。 Okay, please drink the so-called reparation!" she waved to a vendor next to her.

Yang Meng tilted his head and looked: "Dragon's mouth big copper kettle?"

Well, it's a bit incorrect to say this, but Yang Meng can only say this at first glance: a person wearing a local ethnic costume carries a copper kettle more than one meter high on his back, and the box on his waist is filled with a cup to sell drinks there, and Liu Pianpian is to greet him.
