Durban is a harbour city, so the nightlife is mainly on the beachfront.

There are hotels, dance halls and nightclubs, as well as coconut groves, and you can walk on the golden sand beach at night, see the water reflecting brilliant lights, and listen to the waves rolling up thousands of piles of snow.

There were children running around happily on the beach, and Yang Shubao took off his shoes when he saw them barefoot, and then felt that the sand was hot and soft and comfortable.

There is a path on the beach, there are small stalls on the side of the road, Hall bought two strings of big squid and ran over and handed him a bunch, very arrogant: "Oh, please eat." ”

Yang Shubao said: "I want to eat king crab. ”

"King crab is a seafood from the Arctic Ocean, not an African specialty, so it's definitely a stupid choice to eat king crab in Africa. ”

Yang Shubao took the squid and took a bite, full of fragrant sauce, he crunched the squid meat and asked, "Aren't you going to take me to some place where the king makes batteries?"

"It's the King's Battery Development Zone," Hall corrected him, "it's so close to here, it used to be a coastal warehouse, but when it was abandoned, a tourism company converted it into a food street, and now it's famous in Durban and a must-visit for tourists." ”

Durban is the most popular tourist destination in South Africa and the city with the most hotels in South Africa.

It's a pity that Yang Shubao has seen that the buildings in this city are quite old, and there is no shortage of high-rise buildings, but from the style, it can be seen that they are all products of half a century or even more.

The local government lacks the funds to maintain these old buildings, and there is a lack of relevant talents, so they do not have a sense of the history of the old European cities, but only feel old-fashioned and lifeless.

Hall brought him to the Golden Mile beach because it was a holiday destination for the white middle class until the '90s, and whites still come here to reminisce about the good old days.

Walking slowly on the beach, he exclaimed, "You can't imagine that the beach was protected with barbed wire with the words 'Only white people are allowed'. ”

Yang Shubao didn't answer, the topics related to the social status of black and white people in South Africa are all sensitive topics, and he is easy to offend people if he doesn't say it well, after all, there are whites and blacks coming and going on the beach.

Hall treats him to grilled squid, and he treats Hall for a drink, which is sugar cane juice.

Sugar cane juice is cheap, costing 10 yuan for a 500-millilitre oversized cup, because the countryside around Durban is rich in sugarcane, and more than half of the sugar cane in all of North America is transported from this port.

Sugarcane juice is sweet and fresh with a fresh scent, and it is perfect for the beach with a little ice cubes in it.

The two walked along the beach, and after crossing the port, there was the King Battery Development Zone, when the lights were on, the lights were on, the food street was bustling, and there were all kinds of seafood on the closely-packed stalls, so Yang Shubao didn't have to eat grilled squid when he got here.

The first stall they passed was full of shrimp, tiger prawns, crayfish, lobsters, etc., all of which were barbecued.

South Africa has a long coastline and excellent harbors, and coastal residents usually make seafood to eat, and they rarely eat it steamed like the Chinese, because they think it is too fishy, they have to bake it, and sprinkle pepper or spices such as rosemary to remove the fishy smell.

Among the seafood for the general public, the only seafood that may remain untouched is the oysters, which they squeeze lemon juice to remove the smell and swallow it with water.

Yang Shubao wanted to buy lobster to eat, and Hall dragged him to eat oysters: "Trust me, believe me, man, here are the best oysters in South Africa, and you will definitely love it." ”

"I don't like oysters, I love shrimp. "Yang Shubao is reluctant to give up on the lobster.

"If you've tasted it, you'll see how ridiculous it is," Hall said. I'm going to take you to one of the best oysters in the world, which is unique to our Walvis Bay Oysters in South Africa, which is the site of the Benguela Snap, the surrounding water temperature is low and the nutrients are abundant, and the oysters grown there are very delicious. ”

The Walvis Bay Harbor oyster stall looks rugged, that is, a row of large tables full of oysters, these oysters are divided into five categories according to their size, Hall chose the middle gear, he said that the small ones have no meat, the big ones are too tough, and the medium ones are delicious.

This oyster is very simple to make, after the selection of a black uncle with a rough and powerful hand to pry it open, and then a pure blonde and blue-eyed young lady delicately squeezes lemon juice, the method is a sight.

Yang Shubao took the oysters and poured them into his mouth, the first feeling was very slippery, and then a faint fishy smell permeated his mouth, this taste was not difficult to accept, it was mixed with a sweet and fragrant smell, the teeth bit the oysters, the thick juice gushed out, and the tongue seemed to be experiencing the soothing of the waves.

Chewing on the oyster meat, he couldn't help but nod his head and said, "It's really good." ”

Hall smugly squeezed his eyes and said, "So, can I still lie to you?"

The two of them were happily enjoying the delicious oysters when someone suddenly came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Hey, Yang?"

Yang Shubao saw that he was a middle-aged black fat man, with small curly hair clinging to his scalp, and his big belly was like being pregnant for eleven months, which could almost break his shirt.

This person looks a little funny, but Yang Shubao doesn't dare to take it lightly in the face of him, because he is the vice president of a real estate development company in Pietermaritzburg, and the fat gentleman personally led a bloody battle at the auction held during the day, and won the land king of this auction at a price of 150 million.

After the auction, the Ministry of Land Reform uniformly applied for land ownership certificates for them, and asked them to line up to submit materials, at that time, Yang Shubao was lined up with the fat president named Greg Perkins, and out of politeness, he exchanged a few words with the fat president, and the result was remembered by the people.

The fat president also came to eat whale bay oysters, he was very bold and said that he wanted to invite the two to eat together, and took the initiative to exchange contact information with them, saying that their company is now very interested in animals and environmental protection, and the two sides may not be able to cooperate in the future.

Yang Shubao didn't feel that there was anything that the two sides could work with, but it was not a bad thing to know more people and multiple paths.

In addition to eating oysters, the fat president also invited them to eat peacock abalone, which is a very precious seafood, known as the mother of pearl.

This abalone is small in size, but it is extremely beautiful, with rhythmic lines and brilliant colors, but its meat is superior in comparison, and diners call it the first abalone in the Indian Ocean.

Of course, the method is still charcoal-grilled......

The next day, it took nearly a day before the land certificate was finally completed.

With that done, Hall drove back to the resort town as usual.

As usual, Hall went to the supermarket before leaving, bought some frozen seafood and brought it back to make a big meal and invited Yang Shubao to dinner, and this time he earned a brokerage fee.

Yang Shubao followed him to the supermarket, there are a lot of fresh seafood here, but the seafood in the supermarket is frozen, shrimp, crabs and fish have to be frozen before being put on the container, except for oysters, there is no fresh goods.
