591. News of the gold mines
Hearing Yang Shubao whistling, the ostrich ran around and ran back.
Mason got off the ostrich and held his urine for a long time, clamping his legs hard.
Yang Shubao glanced at him contemptuously and said, "You sissy, look at what you look like now?"
Mason glared at him angrily and said, "I knew you bastard wouldn't let me take advantage of you." ”
Sissi ran out in high spirits and asked, "Where is the ostrich, where is the ostrich? I'm going to ride the ostrich too!"
She went straight to the ostrich, and when she got closer, she saw Mason's appearance, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?
Maison glared at her and said, "Can I have prostatitis?"
Sissi helped him with concern and asked, "Then will you die?"
"Of course not!"
Sissi immediately pushed him away: "Why are you putting on this dead face if you won't die? Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm going to ride an ostrich, I'm going to ride an ostrich too!"
Maison staggered and let out a wail.
Yang Shubao grabbed the ostrich by the neck to stabilize it, Sissi stepped on the stool and rode up, Yang Shubao patted the ostrich on the buttocks, and the ostrich ran again.
Seeing the ostrich and Sissi leave, he pushed the chair over and sat down for Meissen: "What's the matter, does it hurt so much?"
Maison said with difficulty: "Is this an ostrich or an egg crusher? Damn, I was cheated by you, Yang, you cheated me again! Damn, I'm upset, I'm telling you I'm upset, I'll definitely retaliate!"
Victor asked strangely: "Is it so painful to ride an ostrich?" I rode an ostrich in my hometown, and there is an ostrich race in our hometown, and both adults and children like to ride ostriches, and there are still some places in the countryside that still have ostriches as mounts. ”
Yang Shubao asked, "Ostrich race, where is your hometown?"
Victor grinned, showing his snow-white teeth: "Eritrea, a small country, do you know? We are in the northeast of Africa, the Republic of Sudan in the west, Ethiopia and Djibouti in the south, Saudi Arabia and Yemen across the Red Sea in the east, and the gateway of the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean. ”
After coming to South Africa, Yang Shubao was naturally familiar with the geography of Africa, and he knew this country, but he did not know that there was an ostrich competition in this country.
Victor introduced to him, saying that their country is the birthplace of ostriches, there are many ostriches, and every farm in the countryside will raise ostriches, you can eat ostrich eggs, you can travel with them, you can let them watch the door, and you can eat ostrich meat.
"Because it is so versatile, our country loves it so much that we have even issued coins with ostriches engraved on them. But now these coins are out of circulation, but that doesn't stop us from liking ostriches, and there are ostrich races in many places, which are popular in our country, just as Americans love horse racing. ”
Victor is a very talkative young man, and introduced the customs of their hometown to Lao Yang one by one.
Seeing that the two were chatting hotly, Maison said very unhappily: "Hey, don't talk yet, okay? Please pay attention to this poor young man next to you, he is dying of discomfort now." ”
Yang Shubao said mercilessly: "I remember that you are going to celebrate your fortieth birthday this year, so who is the young man you are talking about?"
Maison was even more unhappy: "Lao Tzu is twenty-four years old!"
Yang Shubao was about to laugh at him again, and he shouted first: "Can you say something that makes me happy?"
"Well, what do you have fun with? How about we find someone to tease him? Hall? I haven't seen him in a while, what is he up to? Invite him to the party, and then we say we're going to have an ostrich game to cool him off. Yang Shubao said.
Victor interjected, "How good it is to ride an ostrich, why do you think it is a sin?"
Yang Shubao said embarrassedly: "Maybe we are talented." ”
Victor quickly understood what he meant, and smiled, "Maybe you don't have a saddle, and you don't sit in the right position, why are you so far forward?" ”
Yang Shubao shook his head: "No, I tried, I can't sit still like this, it will flap its wings." ”
"That's because you haven't trained it, believe me, if you train them a little bit, they'll get used to having someone sit in the back, and of course it's easier to keep their center of gravity in the front," Victor said. ”
Yang Shubao said excitedly: "Yes, it's very offended, let's find a way to make Hall suffer, right?"
Mason said weakly, "You think too beautifully, that bastard won't be coming to town lately, he went to Bekuzulu, where a section of the river found golden sand, and he ran over and took an adventure." ”
Yang Shubao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where? Bekuzulu? Bekuzulu discovered the gold mine?"
Speaking of the gold mines, he remembered the Americans he had met when he had sent the Timites back to the tribe, who had been looking for gold mines.
But he also thought that the place where they met at that time was in the wilderness north of Petersburg, in the Mogaraquina River Valley, and that Bekuzulu, to which Mason mentioned, was a small town in the northern part of the province of Kua, thousands of kilometers away from the Mogaraquina River.
Maissen confirmed to him again: "Yes, gold placers were found along the Lena River in Bekuzulu, wasn't the rainy season some time ago? Then the Bekuzulu City Hall wanted to clean the river and dredge the river, and they found some cleaners to do the work, only to find gold hidden in the sand at the bottom of the river and on both banks!"
This is not very common in South Africa, but it is not uncommon.
As we all know, South Africa is known as the country of gold, as early as 1880, British geologists discovered gold veins here that are tens of kilometers long, and then financial and mining companies and gold prospectors from all over the world flocked to the country, and began the years of gold mining in South Africa.
In just four years, a wasteland where gold veins were discovered miraculously became South Africa's second largest city, Johannesburg, which later became the world's largest gold production center, and the name of the city originally meant "City of Gold".
Yang Shubao was surprised: "Bekuzulu has discovered gold placers, why don't I know this news?"
Maison gave him a disdainful middle finger and said, "Why do you want to know this news? How can the news of the gold mine be widely publicized? Only a part of the well-informed people can get its letter, and it is a coincidence that there is such a big man standing in front of you." ”
Yang Shubao ignored his taunts, and he asked with interest, "Then can you, the big man, take me to see it?" ”
Mason laughed: "What's the matter, you also want to make a fortune with gold?"
Yang Shubao shook his head: "I have this reserve, this reserve is a gold mine, why bother to look for other gold mines?"
