Chapter 1088: The Great Elder's Gift I
(Thanks to my friend Mo Shang \ Yiren, the deceased - solo dance for the encouragement)
"Hey, this road is broken, isn't it? Even in our country, the countryside is not so broken, here or the road of the city? Sitting on the raptor, the fat man complained as the road bumped.
"Fat brother, now I know. If you go to a farther place, if it rains or something, the average car will have to sink inside. Liu Yunhai didn't care about the bumps at all and said.
He's used to the road conditions, and that's pretty good. When he was wandering around, the car was stuck in the middle of the rain just after the rain. Fortunately, the accompanying cars were also birds of prey and were dragged out.
Now all the cars here, except for the Raptor and the Dodge, are all modified, otherwise if you drive a car on the road here, and wait to be punished.
Not to mention, there are still people who prefer this kind of road. It was none other than Xiao Afu children's shoes.
People sit in the car with the ups and downs of the road, and this little mouth has been open and happy. This is good, it's like riding a yo-yo car, flickering and flickering.
He had been observing his surroundings all the way along. The area around my coffee plantation is a little better, it's been trimmed and it still looks like that.
But as the vehicle moves, all you see are woods and weeds. gives Liu Yunxuan the feeling that this side is too desolate. There are also few people, and driving on the road is like driving in the wilderness.
When I drove around the city, it finally became a little popular. Liberian women and children can also be seen sitting in front of fruit stalls on the side of the road, and local children are also playing together in the open space next to it.
Liu Yunxuan's group of more than a dozen cars also aroused the interest of the children, because they drove slowly, these children were running behind the convoy.
"Yunhai, no, let's add a few more cars here. It's also convenient to use some things. Liu Yunxuan turned his head and said to Liu Yunhai.
It's already driven into the city, and I don't see a single taxi. In addition, the roads in the city are flatter than those outside, and they are still dirt roads.
Moreover, Liu Yunxuan didn't see what this was like in the urban area. The surrounding houses have no buildings at all, and many of them are small wooden houses, and the roofs are covered with branches of palm trees on this side. There are also many simplified boards, which are directly used asbestos tile boards.
"Brother. This is only a very small city here, and in terms of development, it is not as good as our towns and villages over there. I've been to their presidential palace, and it's not as good as the villa on our ranch. Liu Yunhai explained with a smile on the side.
After he came here, he was also surprised by the lack of supplies here. It's not the same thing to know some information and actually see it.
"Dad, why don't they wear clothes?" Xiao Afu looked at the children who were following the car, all shirtless, some of them were wearing shoes, and some of them were running on the ground with little pants and bare feet, but he didn't understand it.
"They are now poorer and more backward. So there isn't that much money to buy new clothes to wear. In the future, if Ah Fu doesn't like to wear clothes, he can send them here and give them to wear. Liu Yunxuan said after rubbing Ah Fu's little head.
He can't describe the impact of the war on people's lives with little Ah Fu, so let him understand it slowly when he grows up.
"Boss, this is the Grand Elder George of the Klan Clan? Dixon. After the convoy stopped, Forman introduced a black old man who came to greet him.
"Kind people, thank you for your help to our Klan." George said after giving Liu Yunxuan a deep salute.
"Great Elder. You're polite, that's how we humans should help each other, you can just call me Andy. "Wait for George to finish his salute. Liu Yunxuan helped George up and said with a smile.
This is what Forman told him in advance, and this is the rule of the Klan. This is a thank you gift, and if you don't wait for the other person to finish it, it means that you don't accept the thank you.
"Mr. Andy, you are our benefactor, without your assistance. I'm afraid we're going to have to suffer a little more. George looked at Liu Yunxuan and said with thanks again.
They have benefited indirectly from Liberia's aid. It is precisely because of the pastoral aid station that they will have the opportunity to provide information.
In terms of virus prevention and control, they are already close to the water, and in those aid supplies. There will also be a separate one for them each time.
Great Elder George's gratitude to Liu Yunxuan is sincere, at least this year, the people in this city don't have to go hungry, and the children can eat enough at every meal.
Although it is now a small city, it has long since died out as the war spreads. The current mayor is a young man, and it can be said that he has returned to the previous tribal life system.
If there is something, the mayor will hold a meeting or something, but the real ones who are in charge of things must be the Great Elders, who have prestige in the Klan clan.
In the land of Africa, there is a strong sense of ethnic belonging, and there are quite a few races. Otherwise, there would be no slogans of extermination and massacres in the event of war.
Therefore, the Great Elder doesn't look old, he is quite worried now, and there are many things that need to be managed.
Especially in the past two years, it has become more and more difficult to buy food, not only the local food prices have skyrocketed, but also in the surrounding countries that they often visit, because of the rush of the Liberian people, the food price has risen a lot.
Otherwise, he would not have written to Liu Yunxuan so rashly, it was precisely because he saw the introduction of the pastoral company through the news that he moved this thought.
To his surprise, they agreed directly. Now the investment has been confirmed, and a lot of workers have been recruited here.
"Great Elder, our cooperation will deepen in the future, and we don't need to be so thankful. This time, I brought some grain, flour and some beef, and I ask you to find someone to help you settle it. Liu Yunxuan patted George's hand and said.
Before coming, Forman had already mentioned the situation here, and he naturally knew the status of the Great Elder here, and he also respected the Great Elder very much.
Moreover, the fact that the elder is so old and has been baptized by war can survive and manage so many people in the vicinity speaks for itself.
When they came to the house of the Great Elder, there were many people waiting here, and the room was full of men and women. Liu Yunxuan was a little worried, if there were more people, would this wooden house be squeezed apart.
As for Xiao Afu, at this time, he may have remembered what Liu Yunxuan had just said to him here. The little guy opened his little backpack, flipped through it, poured out all the snacks he had prepared for himself, and grabbed it with his hand and gave it to the children who came with him.
These children don't look at a bunch of people coming together, but when Little Ah Fu handed them these beautifully packaged snacks, they didn't know what to do.
"It's delicious, Ah Fu usually loves it." Xiao Afu looked at these children and said crisply.
He thought that the children didn't like the little snacks he had sent them, but they were really delicious, otherwise he wouldn't have brought them all over.
"Great Elder, let the children take it, my son has rarely met so many friends of the same age." Liu Yunxuan looked at George and said with a smile.
It seems that I have to give Xiao Afu a good praise when I go back, and Xiao Afu's performance is not bad. He was proud that this was his son. is so young, and still so sensible.
The Great Elder smiled slightly and waved his hand, and the children who were waiting began to choose their favorite snacks. But they didn't eat it, but kept it in their hands.
"Mr. Andy, I have met a lot of Chinese people in this land, and they are all very friendly. This time you came to invest with us, which is a small gift for you. As he spoke, the Great Elder picked up a wooden box from the table behind him and handed it to Liu Yunxuan.
Liu Yunxuan didn't care about it, but when he took the box, it was heavy.
"Dad, it's so fragrant." Xiao Afu snorted and looked at the box Liu Yunxuan was holding and said.
At this time, Liu Yunxuan's nose also had a faint sandalwood fragrance floating, he didn't expect that this inconspicuous box was actually made of sandalwood, and the appearance of the box should still be dug out of the whole tree.
"This was given to me by a friend of Huaxia back then, when I opened a rubber plantation here, and I hope you don't mind this time." The Great Elder said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Liu Yunxuan opened the box and saw that there was a small sandalwood Buddha lying quietly in the box, and on the side of the small Buddha, there was a string of sandalwood bracelets with a dark luster.
"Thank you Great Elder for the gift, I love it. In fact, this time, I also wanted to consult with the Great Elder, if I invest in the timber business here, there is still any available forest land. Liu Yunxuan glanced at it cursoryly, then closed the box and handed it to Hou Xingyu who was following him.
As for the timber business he mentioned, it was entirely improvised. Originally, he wanted Qiuqiu to do this, but today he saw the gift of the Great Elder, so he took the opportunity to bring it up.
"Mr. Andy, I wonder what you would do if you invested in a timber business?" The Great Elder closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before asking.
This made Liu Yunxuan stunned. In his expectation, the Great Elder should be very happy when he heard the news of his reinvestment.
But now the Great Elder even wanted to have a detailed understanding of the future operation, which made him a little puzzled. (To be continued......)
