015 Purchase of "New Year's goods"
(Chinese New Year's Eve plus more, cheeky begging for tips, thank you)
In just two days, the seedling work was completed, and the potatoes were planted in three points, and it was still early, so Li Wei planted more than 100 green beans, cowpeas, and nest melons. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Plant along the vine wall, on the left and right sides, and then go directly to the top, no need to build a shelf;
It's impossible to eat meat and instant noodles every day, so you still have to go to Bitley Town and buy some fresh vegetables, as well as eggs, beef, mutton, camel meat, cornmeal, etc.
By the way, I made a phone call home, so that my parents and younger brother would not worry, and I have been in Somalia for several days, and I have not called back to report my safety, let alone the video.
There is no signal in town, but there is a phone line, and I hope to make an international call, maybe the internet, and it would be nice to be able to support video chat;
There is no way, the phone must be called, and the conditions in the nearby villages and towns are certainly not much better than here, and the "city" is a little more developed.
There are five or six thousand satellite telephones, and the telephone bill is about eight yuan a minute, and the cost of the phone is frightening to death, and Li Wei does not have so much money to waste! I will talk about it when I get rich in the future.
Catch a trip to the market, more than 40KM round trip, take half an hour by car, walk for at least five hours, try to buy all the things you need recently, so as not to run again.
............
Early the next morning, Li Wei carried his backpack and set off towards Bitley along the road he had come to the territory last time.
In the past, when I was in the army, I had to travel 30 kilometers and ask to reach it on foot within four hours, and in four hours, it was not a flat road, but a winding mountain road.
This is still basic training, to add obstacles, squat, frog jump, push-ups, crawling forward... and other projects, physical training emphasizes to improve the limit, tired to your tiredness!
Before the sun came out, Li Wei took advantage of the cool and ran forward, looking at the side of the road, using the information database to view the function of treasure hunting and reconnaissance, to pass the time of the journey.
Ordinary limestone, the main component calcium carbonate...
Ordinary pebbles, cluttered composition, worthless...
Ordinary white thatch, strong vitality, worthless...
Ordinary myrrh tree, with medicinal value, ingredients...
Common thorn desert jujube, barren tolerant plants...
Common desert rose, succulent shrub, drought tolerant...
Most of them are worthless, a few myrrh trees are already the most valuable things, Li Wei shook his head and said nothing, this treasure hunt is really very unreliable, and the system can't remind it.
Forget it, let's farm obediently! After three months, I will be promoted to an elite farmer, and my life will be better; I will definitely be able to earn some pocket money and a hundred acres of territory~
After two hours, we finally reached the ---town of Bitley at the foot of the hill, where there was a few farmlands and dilapidated houses scattered around the town.
Because of the water source, a ditch flows through it, and there are quite a lot of plants near the town, which remain green, and the messy land looks very barren and even overgrown with weeds.
Somali agriculture is backward, so it can be seen that unlike China, where the fields have ridges and are carefully managed, they feel that they are purely planting and playing, and there is no technology at all...
"Grass~ No wonder there is a shortage of food, not to blame the war!"
Li Wei sighed helplessly, pursed his lips, and walked slowly into Bitley Town; as a crooked nut, and a crooked nut with different skin tones, he attracted everyone's attention.
In the face of many curious eyes, Li Wei smiled and nodded in response, and the simple black uncles greeted him with a cheerful smile: "Hello, boy~"
"Hello, business must be good, right?"
In the pure Somali language, the way of greeting is also in line with the Somali custom, greeting business, work, health or camels, and other trivial things.
It is worth mentioning that camels are very popular and respected animals in Somalia, and you can't talk about desecrating camels or taking pictures indiscriminately...
Camels play an important role in the lives of Somalis, and it has long been customary to use the number of camels owned as a measure of wealth and poverty.
There are also many taboos in Somalia, men are not allowed to reach out and shake hands with women, they are not allowed to ask about their age, they are not allowed to inquire about other people's salaries, and so on...
Li Wei spoke fluent Somali, which instantly stunned the small traders next to him, and they were very surprised that he could actually speak Somali, which was simply unscientific!
If you are in China, it is certainly not unusual for a foreigner to be able to speak Chinese, which is one of the world's mainstream official languages spoken by more than a billion people.
But what if he could speak in tongues? fluent in tongues?
There are 10 million people in Somalia, and English and Arabic are widely spoken, and there are very few people who are willing to learn this language, which is rare~
"Hi... Hello... Are you a foreigner?" A young man who sells meat asked curiously: Don't you believe that Li Wei is wasting time learning Somali?
"Yes, Chinese, China-Li!"
China-Li, this strange name, was invented by Sharif, and it feels good. The locals on the street quickly learned that there was a handsome guy "China-Li" in town.
When everyone saw him, they all took the initiative to say hello, whether it was an uncle or aunt, a black girl, or a black brother; Li Wei responded to the chat with a modest and polite smile, and occasionally introduced himself.
Buying things along the way, just now the young man sold him ten catties of beef, mutton and camel meat, the price is cheap, a total of only twenty dollars, a big plastic bag~
Then two bags of corn flour, coconut, cheese pastry made from camel milk, eggs, bananas, lettuce and two fresh frozen hairtails... That's almost enough for the New Year!
The point is, he can't carry it anymore, so he quietly transfers some of it to the space warehouse, and after buying things, he now goes to find a phone or WiFi, and contacts his parents to report his safety.
"Hello, can you call from town?"
Li Wei asked the vendors, exchanged ideas, and figured out that the town could make phone calls, and there was an Internet! The dilapidated town also had law enforcement, and there were phone calls.
The law enforcement department, in fact, is the local armed forces, the militia tax administration department, and even sells guns, and the official business sells weapons quite normally, and Somalia is safe...
Although it is stable at present, no one has come out to make trouble, and if someone makes trouble, it will definitely be absolutely unreliable to rely on the official, and can only rely on AK--47.
Li Wei also plans to buy one for hunting and playing.
