Chapter 33: Shopping

She lived a long time without researching this.

I can't see what is good about the so-called top gemstones.

At this point, she belongs to look at the gems is fine, but don't spend too much money.

In addition, the best gemstones, such as the pigeon's blood, are very expensive and cost too much.

If you give it to a friend, it will burn more money, and they are embarrassed to ask for top gems.

It seems that the mid-range sapphire is selected, and the color is sky blue, which is more suitable for young people.

It doesn't cost much, but it definitely can't be said to be shabby, and it doesn't take up much space, especially light.

Ling Xiao finally bought four gems, one for each person in the dormitory, each of which was about the same size and had its own color.

The four stones are polished and can be set in their own style when they go back.

After choosing the sapphires, she looked at the ultra-cheap agate and finally chose a few to take home.

At the checkout, the people in the store specially gave her a discount as a thank you to the *Chinese people from other countries).

This is to thank the medical team that still stuck to their posts after the Ebola virus struck.

Ling Xiao didn't want it at first, because he felt that he was taking advantage of it, which was not good.

The people in the store said that there was some profit after the discount, rather than a loss-making business.

Ling Xiao checked out after knowing about it and went to other places to shop.

Because the gifts of the two old people have not been bought.

There is a particularly famous rooibos tea in Africa, which looks like black tea.

But it is a plant endemic to South Africa, so you can buy some and take it home to give away.

In addition, she also bought some handmade soaps made from Rooibos.

In this way, she purchased a bunch of things, and she had to put a lot of shopping bags, which gave her a headache, how to get so many things?

She turned into a shopaholic, did she carry such a large amount of things to continue shopping?

She even deliberately imagined what it looked like, and felt that this scene was a little unwatchable.

With these multiple shopping bags in hand, how do you sourcing other leftover items?

Fortunately, the shopkeeper told her that she could buy good things.

After the special packaging is completed, I will pick it up when Ling Xiao mails it.

Ling Xiao was very curious after hearing this, it turned out that the people in the medical team were like this.

The owner also recommended a kind of aloe vera tea, which was said to be very effective, and the members of the medical team also bought a lot.

As soon as Ling Xiao heard it, he ordered aloe vera tea, which can also be purchased more.

You can give your grandparents as a gift to their friends.

After all, they have also been friends for many years.

After payment, the shopkeeper will prepare the big bag.

Set the big bag aside and give Ling Xiao a pair.

Another pair of the same number is hung on a tied bag.

After getting this done, she went to another store to buy some so-called health supplements.

This is a good thing that the teammates of the medical team have been buying for a long time.

Ling Xiao naturally bought some according to the cat and the tiger, which was to be brought back to China for his own use, or as a gift.

With a lot of things, she followed the shopping guide to a supermarket, where there were dried fruits that tasted very good.

It is said that it is especially suitable for foodies, so Ling Xiao also bought some, and after taking a look at the things he bought, there are really a lot of things.

The people in the supermarket naturally knew the usefulness of Ling Xiao, and at a glance, they knew that it was someone from abroad who was going to send it away, and they recognized it as a medical team outside the city, so they were even more happy and deliberately picked the best things.

Ling Xiao pushed the shopping cart out, found a person doing odd jobs to help her deliver things, and then went to the store just now to bring the specially packed things, and after finding the post office, she paid the person in charge of the porter.

After arriving at the post office, she sent the things that were exchanged for Tao back to China after inspection, so she didn't want to return to China with a lot of souvenirs when she returned to China, and she didn't exhaust herself to death?

You don't have to be a fool if you have money, do you want to be a miser? In this way, she left a small part of her things and sent most of them away.

In fact, most of the teammates are directly packaged and sent away after purchasing, and Ling Xiao's approach is not very independent.

Waiting for her to send things out from the post office, it was already noon, and I felt a little hungry.

After looking at the directions, I went to a place around the corner, which was a café.

Western-style light meals are provided, and more importantly, there are female guests to eat.

She is still very grateful to her seniors for finding the place.

Let the female compatriots on the team have a place to eat.

Some shops are religiously closed to women.

When Ling Xiao pushed the door in, he heard the wind chimes hanging high above.

Business in the café is still very good, and most of the seats are occupied.

Seeing Ling Xiao's arrival, the waiter in the store looked over and saw the sign at a glance.

He first straightened up his bow tie, and his smile that was originally just polite was a little more real.

Ling Xiao naturally sensed the change, and saw the waiter come up.

He said, "Ma'am, may I ask who is one?" Or do you have an appointment with someone else? ”

"I want to eat alone, do I have a place?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Yes, ma'am, please come with me." The waiter said

Ling Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Okay." ”

"You may be seated." The waiter pulled out his chair very respectfully.

Ling Xiao sat down very naturally, and then said, "Thank you." ”

"What do you want to eat?" With that, he handed over a menu.

She looked at the menu carefully and said, "A very cooked steak, then pasta, that's it." ”

"Wait a minute." The waiter took note of Ling Xiao's request, and of course it was the first time he had seen a very cooked steak.

The person sitting opposite also glanced at Ling Xiao, this is a white woman, she also ordered steak, she likes to eat tender steak, a knife down, and blood water comes out.

Ling Xiao's behavior seems to some people to be a big dirt bun, but she doesn't care, she likes to be fully cooked.

Although it is impossible to prevent any Nguyen virus from being fully cooked, it is definitely to prevent parasites and the like, and it is safe and hygienic.

The person on the other side glanced at Ling Xiao and couldn't imagine that she didn't care about other people's eyes at all.

Then she naturally didn't have the idea of saying anything, she was not familiar with Ling Xiao.

Naturally, they are not qualified, and they will not care about other people's practices.

When she was away from home, she knew that more was better than less.

Everyone has their own ideas.

The idea of wanting to dominate others is unacceptable.

In her early years, if she saw Ling Xiao said that she was very familiar with the steak.

It will feel like this is a dirt bun, and then look at her skin.

It will feel like sitting with the yellow race, and it will be very cheap.

I felt in my heart that Ling Xiao wouldn't eat Western food, and I couldn't wait to draw a line with her.

She felt tall and looked down on that alien person, but after being beaten by society, she found that she had changed.

After her second illness, she traveled around the world and met more people, only to know that you can't look at people's skin color, but you should look at people's hearts.

She felt that Ling Xiao was not very old, and she couldn't be sure, Chinese people were also younger than white people.

But Ling Xiao has an indescribable self-confidence in his body, and he doesn't want to be a fledgling person.

This made her unsure for a moment how big Ling Xiao really was. And that mark.

reminds her of the sick man of East Asia, but now he has become a lion.

Of course, she could see that the people in the entire café were against Ling Xiao.

It is with respect from the heart.

She could tell, even though they didn't know her.

Looking at the mark on Ling Xiao's chest, she suddenly understood.

As a traveler, she was a little curious, why don't you go to that country.

After all, in the propaganda of many media, she has always thought that Orientals still look like they wear braids.

Obviously, this person's various outfits are different from the Chinese in the propaganda, and he actually wants to eat steak and pasta.

Before, she had heard that mainlanders couldn't afford to eat tea and eggs, but this was something they Chinese themselves said.

She also knew that she couldn't ask her own questions rashly, the two just met in Pingshui, and then they had to go their separate ways.

He shouldn't even be looking at her with curiosity all the time, but he was so curious that he would meet an Oriental on the African continent.

Ling Xiao naturally felt that the person opposite would look at her with a little curiosity, and she had already looked at the other party when she sat down, speaking of which, this woman who looked very strong should have been in the sun for a long time, and there were some freckles on her honey-colored skin.

She is not too old, because her brown eyes are a little curious, not with malice, but Westerners look relatively big, and they can't tell their age for a while, and Ling Xiao can see the abrasion marks on her fingers, this is a fierce man who can shoot.

In this regard, Ling Xiao is not too surprised, a person who dares to travel must have a few brushes, and women will only attract death.

After she finished looking, even the people at the table were still a little curious, and she herself began to read as if she was unconscious.

This is what Ling Xiao is more interested in now, and it is a rather specialized computer magazine, with an English version.

The person on the other side glanced at it and was very surprised, she didn't understand what kind of book it was.

The people on the other side are looking at it with relish, ah! I still really understand.

"Ma'am, you've got your dishes ready." The waiter said.

When Ling Xiao heard this, he put the magazine away.

Take out an unopened bottle of purified water and start eating.

Seeing Ling Xiao's amount of food, the person opposite was a little curious.

To put it mildly, she thought this one was going to be packed and taken away.

You must know that Ling Xiao looks very slender, and a woman of her stature eats bird food.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao was eating in earnest, and she was a little happy to be able to eat in her heart.

She has developed a curiosity about the Orient, and she has also visited many hospitals on the African continent before.

I once met a doctor from the East, and I was impressed by how much she had to see so many patients.

As someone from a developed country, it is surprising to see so many patients in a day when a doctor sees them.

The advantage of the public hospital in her home country is that it costs less, but if you want to see a doctor, you have to queue up.

The number of doctors in public hospitals who see them in a day is very limited, and they are not always available.

If you want to go to a public hospital, you must make an appointment with a doctor in advance before you can see a doctor.

Generally, it is normal to wait for seven or eight days, please wait.

If there is a particularly urgent condition, then you can call the emergency department.

But going to the emergency room is definitely going to cost a lot of money.

Or go to a private hospital.

As a result, she went to some hospitals in Africa.

I found that I could see them at any time, and the doctors were very busy.

She recalls meeting an Oriental doctor with excellent medical skills, who also had this mark on his chest.

I'm afraid that this particularly young woman I met today is also from the same organization.

Ling Xiao naturally felt the other party's attention, and this one was really very direct, because she didn't feel malice, she didn't care too much.

After lunch, I found that the café was doing well, and there were even customers who came in and had no seats.

Now that she's done eating, she gives up her seat while she goes out to take another look.

She is going to get some more fruits and vegetables to change the taste for everyone.

Ling Xiao walked out of the café and walked along the road.

As I walked, I saw a small stall.

There were a lot of bananas on it, so I stepped forward.

There are many places in Africa where fruit is the staple food.

When she was in China, she knew how to make sweet soup with bananas, or fried bananas.

When I arrived in Africa, I learned that there were also special bananas for roasting, with bananas as the staple food.

It is unacceptable to the medical team, because bananas are fruits in the eyes of the Chinese people, and they will not be used as rice at all.

For this is a habit that cannot be changed, in fact, people who like to eat rice, eating steamed buns feel that they are not full.

And those who like to eat steamed buns, if they eat rice all the time, they will feel heartburn, this is a matter of their habits, anyway, the medical team will not use bananas as a staple food.

But everyone still likes to treat it as a fruit, so Ling Xiao bought two large skewers from the stall and carried them in her hands, but fortunately, her strength was not small, and she didn't feel very tired at all.

After walking forward for a while, I saw a car stop in front of me, and a person stepped down from the passenger seat, opened the door for the seat behind me, and the person who followed me also looked around after getting down.

I don't know why, at this moment, Ling Xiao felt that something was wrong, as if something unlucky was about to happen, so did she continue to move forward, or stop? Another person stepped down from another door.

Ling Xiao saw that there was a feeling of seeing a big man appear here, and she understood that it was a normal reaction to have to move forward, and as a passerby, she shouldn't feel anything wrong.

Ling Xiao didn't squint, kept an unhurried speed and walked forward, and at this moment, the big man in the car in front of him finally began to appear.

Just as he came up, Ling Xiao suddenly felt creepy, threw the fruit in his hand to the side, and threw the whole person forward.

After seeing Ling Xiao's dodge action, the big man reacted quickly, and naturally felt that something was wrong, so he shrank his neck.

Hearing a pop, a deep bullet hole appeared in the position where Ling Xiao was originally walking.

Then there was a popping sound, but fortunately, it shot into the ground and the ground turned up.

The few people standing next to the car also knew that the situation was not right.

They don't know if there's still a bullet coming.

He quickly squatted down and did not dare to move.

Ling Xiao didn't have time to look at the results of that shot at the moment.

Her body was rolling forward, but it didn't mean she was on her feet.

She felt more crises coming, and she felt as if something was going on at her heart.

Without any hesitation, her foot kicked to the side, and the whole person changed the direction of progress, and her body deviated.

Another pop sound, brushing against her body, causing her clothes to almost be torn, and only then could there be a late gunshot.

Ling Xiao felt that if his movements were slower for a few seconds, he was afraid that he would be dismembered, and it would be really dangerous.
