007 Promotion to Trainee Farmer!
At the airport, in the old and original terminal, Li Wei followed Sharif and went out with his luggage, but the outside of the airport was very crowded and chaotic, and the traffic situation was not very good. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Just like the station of the Spring Festival, the crowd is surging, many vendors who set up stalls and sell, taxi drivers, and people who come to the airport to pick up the airport are crowded in a pile, and it looks quite lively...
Let Li Wei feel a sense of déjà vu!
Compared to the airport, the streets outside are more shabby, and the architectural style is different from that of China, which is very monotonous, with small two- or three-story yellow buildings at most and simple decorations.
There are dilapidated billboards, some selling electrical appliances, some selling network communication equipment, some selling clothes, and restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, KTVs, like in the nineties in China.
Although poor, backward, and chaotic, the Somalis are not decadent, and life still goes on, Li Wei nodded his appreciation and affirmation, war will not defeat them!
On the side of the road, there are many food stalls, barbecue fried beef, mutton, camel meat, and tortillas, which seem to be quite good, but they smell very good anyway.
"China Li, do you want to taste it, I'll please!"
Sharif invited with a smile and pointed to the barbecue, these barbecues are not expensive, nor are they cheap, a plate of beef and mutton costs fifteen dollars, a hundred yuan.
Camel meat is more expensive, twenty-five dollars, tortillas and bananas are cheaper, and there are pancakes, and two dollars can buy a large plate, and the portions are sufficient.
These things are all natural, beef and mutton have not been fed, corn has not been sprayed with pesticides, it must taste better than those domestic meats, more natural and pure.
With 4,000 US dollars on his body, a barbecue meal will not take advantage of Sharif, Li Weifang said: "Let me treat me this time!
"No, no, no, I have to treat you, Somalis never let guests pay for it, your first time coming, of course I should invite you, don't be polite!"
Sharif was resolute and unquestionable, and beckoned the boss to a plate of roast lamb and camel meat, a plate of corn tortillas and banana pie, and two large drinks.
A total of 44.5 US dollars, which may seem a bit expensive to Li Wei, but Sharif doesn't care, he can go to Dubai to sell camel furs, and he will definitely not lack this money.
"Alright then! Thank you for your hospitality, thank you very much!"
Li Wei is not hypocritical, he accepts it with a smile, it's a big deal to invite himself next time; when we meet in Pingshui, Sharif can entertain himself so warmly, I am really a little moved.
"You're welcome, China Li, I also want to thank you for telling me about the commodity market in Yiwu, I decided to take the time to personally go over and inspect it to see the specific situation!"
Sharif does not understand Chinese but knows English, so it should be fine to communicate in the past; if the situation allows, he intends to export Chinese frankincense myrrh, import clothes and electrical appliances.
Those cheap clothes, mobile phones, Internet communication kits, TVs, electronic watches... It is certainly very popular in Somalia, cheap and affordable, and highly profitable.
"Take a look more, there must be a suitable one, rest assured!"
Li Wei is embarrassed to say that Yiwu Commodity City is higher than the GDP of the entire Somalia, and there are many kinds of products.
After all, the brand is uneven, and the quality must be good and bad.
In a short time, fragrant banana pie, corn tortillas, and two plates of roast meat were brought to the table, sprinkled with unknown spices, red, green, and green.
There were sauces, leaves, spices, something like chopped onion and garlic, and the tortillas were golden brown, and it was obvious that olive oil was used, not Chinese rapeseed oil.
"Taste it, Lee, don't be stubborn, be generous!"
"Hmm~ It's really fragrant, then I'm welcome. Li Wei is not used to using knives and forks, Africans are more heroic, and they can directly hold it with their hands to eat, but only at home.
In public places, you have to pay attention to your image! Somalis attach great importance to civilized etiquette, and when dining out, they usually use knives and forks to make cutlery according to the custom of Western countries.
Of course, roadside stalls are an exception, just like the night market supper stalls in China, where a few tables are set up casually, and there are also knives, forks and even chopsticks prepared for customers to choose.
More people choose to do it, and the tortillas are grilled, which tastes very good! Li Wei also eats like this, which feels like Chinese donkey meat roasted, not so greasy.
"Absolutely delicious, good!"
The fragrance of the tortillas, wrapped in greasy and delicate barbecue meat, tastes great! It is worthy of natural free-range beef and mutton, and the feed is incomparable.
The lively food stalls, including blacks, whites, and Asians like Li Wei, were very satisfied, and they were heroic with corn tortillas and barbecue, feasting on them.
Sharif is relatively elegant, and Li Wei chatted about Mogadishu style while eating, although it was very chaotic, but there were definitely fun places and good sightseeing.
Seaside beaches, nightclubs, KTV, gambling casinos...
At present, the situation in Somalia is dominated by the northern forces vying for territory, the south is relatively stable, and the central capital Mogadishu has stabilized and the economy is recovering.
The upper part of the country, which is in the shape of >, is temporarily out of official control, and the central and western parts are divided, but it has been agreed to be incorporated into the national government, and the capital is in the central and eastern regions.
In the south, the lower Juba and Central Juba regions are relatively stable but poorer, because they are far away from the Gulf of Aden, and the economy does not have any advantages, and Kismayo is a large port.
In recent years, the boom in the piracy industry has driven the Somali economy and promoted consumption, and the business of selling weapons and speedboats is definitely good, and the AK-47 is super cheap!
How cheap is it? The Russian product is $400, the imitation is only $200 at the minimum, and the price of the Chinese Type 56 charge is even cheaper, and the performance is quite good.
After eating, Sharif took Li Wei to visit the underground black market nearby, AK, 56, RGP, satellite phones and small speedboats, forming a "pirate suit".
If you go to the south and buy AK-47s for self-defense, it should be completely sufficient, the situation there is stable, and the Somali official does not prohibit the use of guns, and there is no energy to care.
However, Li Wei did not buy it, and went to the black market with Sharif before leaving, and then went to the telecommunications company to register for a phone card for $35.
It's very expensive to make a call, 0.12 yuan/minute, and international calls are even more expensive, $0.55/minute, but Li Wei's Unicom number card has a global pass, which is more than half cheaper.
The network format of China Unicom's mobile phone is the same as that of Somalia's network communication system, so there is no need to change mobile phones, and Xiaomi mobile phones can support dual SIM 3G Internet access, which is very convenient.
The capital has 3G, Kismayo has 2G, and the territory must not even have a signal!
After leaving his contact information, Sharif took his leave and rented a car to return to his hometown in the western part of the capital; Li Wei's plane will not take off until tomorrow morning, and he will stay at the airport tonight.

At noon the next day, after some tossing, I took a plane to Kismayo, rented a car to Garaslai, and the small town of Bitley near the territory, and then rented a camel to go there...
"Drip ~ the user enters the territory, do you want to receive it?"
"Receive, receive, receive!"
"Congratulations to the user, promoted to trainee farmer..."
