Xiao Peng went to the cockpit: "How much is the pirate ship?"

Wang Hu said: "It doesn't look like a pirate ship, it's just a ship, and the hull is not big. ”

"Be prepared to fire when you see a problem. Xiao Peng said.

However, Xiao Peng's worries seem to be unnecessary, that is, an old-fashioned fishing boat with the Yemeni flag, it is not easy for this broken boat to run here from Yemen. It's at least a hundred nautical miles from Yemen.

And there are only three people on board, one man and two women, this Nima doesn't look like a pirate, you can't let women wear BURQA to rob, right?

BRUQA IS A ROBE WORN BY ISLAMIC WOMEN, AND IT IS KNOWN THAT ISLAMIC WOMEN WEAR A HEADSCARF, AND THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF HEADSCARVES, SUCH AS BRUQA. It is to cover the whole body, and the face is to be covered; Another example is ABAYA, which is a large black loose robe that covers all parts except the face. Another example is the CHADOR, which is similar to a shawl, but there is no fastening button, so it can only be firmly held by hand. Another example is HIJAB, which is just a headscarf that covers the shoulders.

People in each Arab country have different dressing styles. FOR EXAMPLE, IRANIAN WOMEN WEAR CHADOR AND AFGHANISTAN AND PALESTINA FOR EXAMPLE, THEY WEAR BRUQA. AND YEMENI WOMEN, GENERALLY WITH HIJAB.

When the Yemeni ship approached, Xiao Peng knew that this ship was actually a merchant ship?

The ship's owner was named Peshar, and the other two women were his wife, Henna and Hassan. Well, in fact, he has two wives at home and is responsible for taking care of the children, and Islam allows four wives. Pessar did not waste any places.

They usually stay in this area, waiting for passing ships and selling goods.

Of course, marrying four wives does not mean that you will be fine if you marry, you must make sure that your assets are completely fair, and if you build a room for the boss, then you must build a room for the second, third, and fourth children! You can't favor one over the other, otherwise you will go to the Inquisition in minutes!

Of course, not everyone can marry four wives. Now he who marries four wives is either rich or poor.

A rich man marries four wives because he doesn't care, and a poor man marries four wives because he increases his labor force。。。。。。

Peshar, on the other hand, clearly belongs to the latter.

Yemen is now in turmoil. Merchants have no market at all in the country------ ordinary people can't eat, and they still buy these messy things?

Peshar came up with such a way to sell its own goods at sea.

Of course, there are no good goods in this poor part of Yemen, and there are only three kinds of goods for sale on the ships of Peshahr: waist knives, coffee beans, and kat leaves.

The Yemeni waist knife, also known as Jambiya, is a symbol of the Yemeni man, and all Yemeni men over the age of thirteen will wear a waist knife to show their bravery and self-confidence.

Yemeni waist knives are very beautifully made, the handle of the scabbard is usually sterling silver or silver-plated with gemstones, and there are also cheap handles made of plastic. It looks so beautiful that Yemeni government officials will give waist knives as important gifts to distinguished guests.

Needless to say, the famous Mocha coffee was born in Yemen.

To be precise, Mocha is the name of a port in Yemen, which was once the largest coffee trading market in the Middle East, and more than seventy percent of Yemeni coffee was traded and transported in Mocha port.

And because of the high quality of Yemeni coffee, all coffee shipped from the port of Mocha is called Mocha coffee, not an inherent coffee variety.

Unfortunately, Yemenis have not seized the opportunity here, and more and more coffee trees have been replaced by Carter trees. At present, the planting area of Carter trees in Yemen has exceeded 10 percent of the cultivated land in Yemen.

The reason why Yemen is poor is also related to this Carter tree. The ancient Arabs used kat leaves as a substitute for alcohol, so kat leaves are also called kat tea.

The vast majority of countries in the world believe that carter leaf and opium-cocaine are also narcotics and are forbidden to be used, but there are still many Arab countries that still grow and eat them.

In Yemen, 90% of men and 50% of women chew carter leaves.

They would even make the best room in the house a special room for chewing cart leaves, and every afternoon a group of people would get together to chew the cart leaves------- and in the afternoon, no one would work in this country, and they would be chewing the cart leaves!

Because the Carter tree can grow for up to 100 years, and its vitality is extremely tenacious. Management is also simple, with a harvest in the first year of planting, so in Yemen, there are not as many people who plant as carter, which also causes poverty and hunger. And the cost of carter leaves is staggering, with Yemeni households spending more than 50% or more of their average gross income on carter leaves.

Bai Shaer smiled, holding a handful of carter leaves in both hands: "Distinguished guest, the carter leaves I have here are of the best quality, you can see, they are all fresh shoots." ”

Xiao Peng shook his head: "I don't need this. "The first rule of Qianliyan is to ban drugs, can Xiao Peng touch Carterye?

However, Peshar was not disappointed, he was not afraid that Carter Ye would not be sold at all, he cared about the sale of other goods: coffee and waist knives.

Bai Shar opened the sack of the coffee beans and said, "This is the best mocha bean, you see, how full and shiny the grains are." After speaking, he also took out the grinder coffee pot and brewed a pot of coffee for Xiao Peng to let a few people taste it.

Xiao Peng didn't know anything about coffee at all, but Gina said that it tasted good, which means that the coffee beans are really good, and the price is too cheap. 5000 riyals for a sack. Converted into Huaxia coins, which is more than 200, Xiao Peng simply came to a baoyuan, gave him 3,000 meters of gold, and bought more than 100 bags. But it can make Baishaer happy.

Xiao Peng doesn't like to drink coffee, but it's okay to buy it back and give it away.

However, the Yemeni waist knife is indeed what Xiao Peng likes.

Men like cold weapons.

The silver Yemeni waist knife costs 20,000 riyals, which is equivalent to 100 meters of gold, and after Xiao Peng bargained desperately with him, he bought 50 in one breath at the price of 70 meters of gold, not that Xiao Peng was unwilling to buy more, but the rest were cheap products with plastic handles, and Xiao Peng couldn't look down on them.

"It's a souvenir to return to China now, right?" Xiao Peng tied the waist knife around his waist and showed it to Yang Meng happily,

Yang Meng smiled coldly: "This is a controlled knife, right?"

It's true, in China, even daggers must be approved by public security organs at or above the county level, and the issuance of a "Dagger Wearing Certificate" is legal. This is why in China, as long as a criminal is caught, there is generally such a crime: carrying a controlled knife.

Most people don't know that it is illegal to carry a bullet-spring-knife. Many young people want a fashion dagger, but they don't know that they often end up planting on this small dagger!

Xiao Peng smiled: "I bought it back and hung it at home, and I didn't run around the street with it, what are you afraid of? Besides, what's wrong with the controlled knives? We not only have controlled knives on this ship, but also firearms RPG, and even 'alligators', I want to see which Huaxia police will take care of it." ”

Yang Meng was stunned for a long time, then stretched out his hand to Xiao Peng and said, "Okay!

This is a veritable fox and a fake tiger.

But the happiest person on the ship was Gina. She likes to drink coffee very much------ which is a national habit.

She really can't get used to drinking tea。。。。。。

To say, Gina's way of making coffee is really good, Xiao Peng also likes to drink this thing, Xiao Peng also gave He Jianye two sacks, and the feedback he got was that it was really delicious. It seems that this coffee was bought correctly. Just don't get scammed.

"Captain Shaw, good news for you, we have passed through the Gulf of Aden. On the radio, He Jianye's voice was very excited, after all, this time he could pass by the pirates, which was very thrilling.

Xiao Peng smiled: "Yes, Captain He, where is your next stop?

He Jianye sighed and said: "It's good if that's the case, I'm going to lie down in Abu Dhabi to distribute the goods." I'm afraid we're going to separate. ”

Xiao Peng was free and easy: "It's okay, the mountains and rivers meet, and we will see you in China if we have a chance!"

He Jianye nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Xiao, I really thank you this time." If it weren't for you, nothing would have happened. ”

"What a big deal, we are all Chinese, aren't we. Xiao Peng said with a smile.

"Okay, it's all big men, don't be so hypocritical, go back to China, I'll invite you to drink!" He Jianye said.

"No problem, when the time comes, Daoqin Island will find me, and I will personally cook for you. Xiao Peng agreed.

He Jianye thought for a while: "Xiao Xiao, I don't know where the weapons on your ship came from, but you must listen to me, first, only go to the open sea, and second, you must be vigilant when crossing the Strait of Malacca." There are more pirates over there than there are in Somalia. ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "I hope those pirates don't provoke me with their eyes, otherwise I will give them a good look." ”

He Jianye said: "The situation over there is different from here, the pirates there are mainly petty thieves, sneaking on the ship in the middle of the night to steal things, but in the past two years, there have also been incidents of hijacking ships. Now Southeast Asia has overtaken Africa as the most pirated region in the world. Be careful of Abu Sayyaf when you get there. ”

"Abu Sayyaf, who, what for?" Xiao Peng had never heard of this name.

He Jianye said: "That's not a person's name, it's the name of an organization." It is an armed force in the south of the Philippines and has a close relationship with al-Qaeda. It is a cancer in Southeast Asia, and we must be vigilant. ”

"Captain He, don't worry, I don't care if he is Abu Sayyaf or Abu Silly Coconut. If you don't provoke me, it's easy to say, if you do, I'll let them know why the flowers are so red. Xiao Peng said magnificently.

He Jianye listened to Xiao Peng's words, and didn't say anything, he could only wish Xiao Peng smooth sailing.

The two parted at the mouth of the Gulf of Aden, and Tianyu 3 followed the coastline to Abu Dhabi. And Xiao Peng directly sailed across the Arabian Sea, bypassing Asan and Sri Lanka, and heading to the Strait of Malacca.
