Yang Meng was silent for a while: "Now I really feel that no place is as good as Huaxia." It is said that 'live and work in peace and contentment', and the word 'an' is in front of it. You can't guarantee safety, everything is in vain. You say that the landlords of Feiyugoslavia, although they are rich, but they are not like that every day, if the new president of Feiyugoslavia really does this, it is not very likely that Feiyugoslavia will become the next Zimbabwe?"

Xiao Peng shook his head: "It may not be able to catch up with Zimbabwe." After all, Zimbabwe has fertile land and abundant mineral and water resources, and even if the economy collapses and people are poor, as long as they work hard, they can at least eat. But that's not the case with Fei Nan. There is a lot of desert here, and it is arid, if those farmers who have experience in growing it leave here。。。。。。 Bah, I can't even think about it. ”

Yang Meng poured a sip of mineral water: "What is happiness? When you are hungry, you have food to eat, when the weather is cold, you have clothes to wear, so many people have cut off water, we have mineral water here to drink, this is happiness." Usually we complain about this and that, and only when we come out do we know that this happiness is to be compared. ”

"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and you don't say that when you don't have money!"

Yang Meng didn't care: "When you don't have money, you can only compare with those who have money, then you must not be happy, now come out and take a look, tsk, I live a really happy life." Okay, it's useless to say this, our country doesn't do this, I'm going to sleep, and I'll have to fly for a few hours tomorrow!"

"OK, I'll go to bed early, too! Damn, I really want to take a shower!" Xiao Peng said angrily.

。。。。。。

Generally speaking, the cities with the best economy in a country are often large coastal cities, and the largest ports are generally seaports.

The exception is Africa South, where the largest city and largest port are not on the coast, but in the inland city of Johannesburg.

And the reason for this is simple: gold!

In the southern part of Johannesburg, there is the Rand Basin, which is an arc of mountains and home to a huge gold complex.

In this arc-shaped mountain range with a length of 260 kilometers and a width of 100 kilometers, there are N super gold mines! A total of 63 super gold mines, such as the Rand Gold Mine, the Golden Reef Gold Mine, and the Baishuiling Gold Mine, have been discovered one after another!

Let's just say that 60% of the world's gold is in this vein.

It is because of the gold that two large cities were born here, one in Johannesburg and the other in Pyritolia. Kevin's Nature Reserve, a short distance from Johannesburg's satellite town of Krugersdorp.

"Dude, are you sure there was a mistake?" Xiao Peng asked Yang Meng.

Yang Meng pointed to GPS and said, "That's right, this is it." ”

Xiao Peng looked down from the plane, and below was a standard desert-like desert, well, what Africa looks like in the BBC documentary.

Yang Meng circled for a long time: "Found it!" After speaking, he pointed in one direction, Xiao Peng looked down, okay, there is a thin dirt road on the ground, if you don't observe carefully, it's really not easy to see.

Yang Meng lowered the flight altitude. At this time, a car on the ground came, and the people in the car waved at the plane.

"Fly with them. Xiao Peng commanded.

The two men followed the car for more than ten minutes and finally found the residential area of Kevin Richardson's animal sanctuary.

The so-called residential area is seven or eight bungalows, which are built irregularly and surrounded by a ring of barbed wire. There are several pickup trucks parked inside, and the back of the pickup trucks is converted into iron cages.

Yang Meng landed the plane next to the residential area. More than a dozen people came out to greet him. And the white man at the forefront is none other than the 'Lion Whisperer' Kevin Richardson.

Kevin wasn't very old, only forty-three years old, and he was handsome, but he didn't look like a man in his forties now. Now there are large gray hairs on his head. The clothes I wore were no longer in their original color, so it was clear that life here was not very good.

"Hello Mr. Xiao, I really didn't expect you to accept my invitation and come over so quickly!" Kevin walked over and greeted.

Xiao Peng smiled: "If you can get the invitation of the famous 'Lion Whisperer', how can you not hurry up?"

After hearing this, Kevin smiled embarrassedly: "My least favorite title to hear now is 'Lion Whisperer', Mr. Xiao, you still call me Kevin." To introduce you, this is the staff and volunteers at our sanctuary, who are all as committed to wildlife conservation as I am. ”

Xiao Peng looked left and right after getting acquainted with everyone for a while: "Kevin, where is your lion?"

Kevin showed an apologetic expression: "Mr. Xiao, those lions are all adult lions, although they are more docile to me, they are still aggressive towards others, you are a VIP, I don't want them to hurt you." ”

"The lion hurt him, I can laugh at this joke for a year!" Yang Meng stopped the plane and walked over from the plane with a large suitcase. He was followed by two Afghan hounds and the mongoose. The mongoose jumped directly onto Xiao Peng's shoulder, and a big thing of more than ten catties stood on Xiao Peng's shoulder, looking very imposing.

"Who is this?"

"Oh, this is Yang Meng, my friend, and my driver, breeder, bodyguard and bag bearer, hahahaha. Xiao Peng introduced. The angry Yang Meng rolled his eyes at him.

"Wow, that's a good thing for an Afghan hound, this is a Falcon mongoose, how can you be so obedient?" Kevin was puzzled.

Xiao Peng shrugged: "It's like many people don't understand why the lion has such a good relationship with you." ”

Kevin smiled, "Okay, Mr. Xiao, you're an interesting person. Let's stop standing here, please go in and sit down. ”

Yang Meng put the big box on the ground and looked left and right: "Didn't anyone help me move things?"

"What is this?" Kevin asked, pointing to the big box.

Xiao Peng said: "Oh, we bought the gifts easily, and I don't know what to buy." Boban said you love dried meat strips, and when I was in Cape Town, I inquired about the best dried meat strips in the area and brought you this box. ”

Dried pork strips are a kind of food that non-Nan people like very much, in many ways and the Chinese people love to eat beef jerky, it is a hard snack, the taste is a little salty, Xiao Peng also likes this thing, and it can only be described by Xuanmai advertising: 'can't stop at all', with a bottle of cold beer, that is called a pair of flavors.

"Such a big box of dried meat strips, Mr. Xiao, you are an interesting guest, but I really like this gift so much. I really like dried meat strips, but it's not easy to buy this here. After Kevin finished speaking, he tried to move the big box, but he couldn't move it at all.

Such a large box of dried meat strips requires at least two or three hundred catties, how can one person easily move it? But Yang Meng looked so easy to move, and his eyes changed when he looked at Yang Meng now.

There is also a reason why Xiao Peng brought him such a large box of dried meat strips, just to show off his muscles, after all, this Kevin invited himself for no reason, what if he had any bad ideas?

Yang Meng said: "Yes, I'll move in, you still have to practice this strength." After speaking, I saw that he easily carried the box, and under the leadership of Kevin, they went into the reserve together.

Kevin was taking Xiao Peng on a tour of his residential areas. However, this place is not big, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk around.

"Huh, Mr. Xiao, your dog is very strange。。。。。。 Kevin suddenly looked puzzled.

"Uh, what's wrong with my dog?" Xiao Peng asked.

Kevin was puzzled: "Oh, that's right, there have been people who have brought dogs to me before, but you also know that almost all of my here is the breath of a beast, so the dogs are very nervous when they come, but neither your dog nor the Meerkat at the Falcon show any nervousness." ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "That shows that these little guys of mine are stupid and bold." ”

Kevin didn't delve into this question anymore: "Mr. Xiao, you've worked hard all the way, and now it's time for dinner, let's have some food first, and then take a look at my animal sanctuary, okay?" But I didn't expect you to come so soon, so I can only let you have a meal and eat the same home-cooked meal as us, okay?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Okay, I can't ask for it." ”

Kevin took Xiao Peng to the cafeteria and ate a working meal with the staff here.

The working meals here are quite hearty, and the various styles of food are blended together.

For example, the chicken sandwich, Xiao Peng tasted it, and it was not quite the same as the sandwich in the country of Stars and Stripes, and the chicken sandwich he ate included cassava in addition to chicken, seasoned with chili peppers and curry sauce. It's very Indo-3 style.

Seeing Xiao Peng's doubts, Kevin told Xiao Peng that this kind of chicken sandwich was really made by the Indians. In Africa, the number of Indians is no less than that of Chinese. Their food style is also integrated into the lives of the Afro-Nanders.

OTHER FOODS, SUCH AS 'PAP' AND 'CHAKALALA', ARE VERY ABORIGINAL STYLE, AND 'PAP' IS THE STAPLE FOOD OF NON-NANNAN PEOPLE, JUST LIKE RICE STEAMED BUNS IN CHINA. We can often see a lump of white rice on the plate of Africans seen in film and television works, documentaries, etc., that is PAP, which is a staple food on the daily table of the people of Africa.

HOWEVER, THE 'PAP' ITSELF TASTES VERY ORDINARY, BUT IT IS MUCH MORE DELICIOUS WITH 'CHAKALALA', WHICH IS MADE OF CHILI PEPPERS AND GREEN BEANS, ETC., AND HAS A SPICY TASTE, AND WHEN POURED ON THE 'PAP', IT LOOKS LIKE A CHINESE RICE BOWL, WHICH IS THE ICING ON THE CAKE FOR PRP.

THERE IS ALSO 'BABOTIE', WHICH IS MORE LIKE THE 'STEAMED EGG WITH MINCED MEAT' IN HUAXIA. But it's not steamed, it's grilled, it's carefully baked with chopped minced beef and eggs, and it tastes a little spicy, which is a bit similar to Lao Gan Ma's beef sauce, and then you can eat 'RAP' with this thing, or add some fruit sauce banana chips and coconut meat to make a sandwich.

What satisfies Xiao Peng the most is the drink here: the dark brown color is unusually viscous, and those who don't know it think they are drinking black rice porridge. It tastes like sand.

Called 'Umqombothi', nicknamed 'Magic African Beer', the drink is made by fermenting corn, sorghum, yeast and water, and has a low alcohol content, making it brewed in almost every household. It's their national drink.

But this taste, Xiao Peng always feels like drinking smoothies, how can non-southerners want to drink this thing?

In fact, they are helpless to drink this, who doesn't like to drink delicious and delicious 'castle' beer? (not the best beer in South China), but in this economic situation, it is very good to have 'Umqombothi' to drink, okay?

After Xiao Peng and the others had eaten and drunk enough, they followed Kevin to stroll through the animal sanctuary.

To be honest, it really sucks here. Xiao Peng felt that if the rainy season came, a rain could collapse all the houses here.

Xiao Peng was puzzled and asked, "Kevin, with all due respect, although you raise so many lions, it shouldn't be so difficult with your financial resources, right?"

After all, Kevin Richardson is a big Internet celebrity in the environmental protection industry, he has his own lion conservation fund to raise donations from all over the world, and there are many animal protectors who will provide him with financial support, even if the number is small, it is more than enough to maintain this animal sanctuary, but looking at his animal sanctuary, it is too dilapidated.

Kevin smiled wryly: "Mr. Xiao, you're right, my funds can make this reserve look better, but I can't do that." ”

Xiao Peng was puzzled: "Why?"

Kevin's answer surprised him: "Because I still have to protect the humans here!"

Humans need protection, too? Hairy? There are also hunters here?

Damn, that's kind of scary!

ps: Today's update is a bit late, because today is Lao Yang's Nth birthday, and N is no more than fifteen.

It's not a joke, because the old Yang calendar birthday is April 4th, uh, often catch up with the Qingming Festival.

It's very picturesque when you think about it (Lao Yang celebrates his birthday, and countless people downstairs are burning paper money.) ）

Well, what's even more fucked up is that Lao Yang's birthday on the solar calendar is the same day as my mother, since I was a child, other people's birthdays are friends who have fun together, and I accompany my mother on my birthday.

That's not the most fucked up, Lao Yang explains why Lao Yang is not yet fifteen years old------ because Lao Yang's lunar birthday is February 30!

I don't know what year it will be on February 30th.

The knowledge points are here, we all know that the solar calendar has a leap year every four years, and there are 29 days in February of the leap year, but in fact, there are also large and small months in February of the lunar calendar, and sometimes there are 30 days, and there is no certain law, or it may be that we have not yet discovered the law. For example, from 92 to 96 there were 30 days, but from 97 to 99 there were no 30 days, in 2017 and this year there were 30 days, but next year there will be no 30 days. Lao Yang has been confused about the lunar birthday since he was a child, and he doesn't know if there is one, so he can only make a solar birthday with his mother。。。。。。 If I had a lunar birthday, I would have been in my teens.

But this also explains why Lao Yang is so young. There's a science behind that!

That one...... Is it a bit of a commuter pass as a birthday gift?
