015 Buying New Year's Goods

(New Year's Eve update, please give me a reward, thank you)

In just two days, the seedling cultivation work was completed and the potatoes were planted three parts. It was still early, and Li Wei planted about one hundred green beans, cowpeas, and melons.

Plant along the vine wall on both sides, and then slid it directly on top without having to set up a rack; when this batch of vegetables starts to produce, there will be no shortage of vegetables!

It is impossible to eat meat or instant noodles every day, but you still have to go to Bitley Town to buy some fresh vegetables, eggs, beef, mutton, camel meat, cornmeal, etc.

By the way, call home so that my parents and brothers won’t worry. I have been in Somalia for several days and have not called back to report my safety, let alone videos.

There is no signal in the town, but there is a telephone line. I hope to make international calls and maybe the Internet can support video chat; if not...

I can only go to Galasley! There is no way, I have to call the phone. The conditions in the nearby villages and towns are definitely not much better than here. The "city" is a little more developed.

There is a satellite phone, five or six thousand each, and the phone costs about eight yuan per minute. It’s so expensive that Li Wei doesn’t have that much money to waste! Let’s talk about it when he gets rich in the future.

It takes more than 40KM to travel around the market, and takes more than half an hour to take the bus and at least five hours to walk. Try to buy all the things you need recently so as not to go again.

............

Early the next morning, Li Wei carried his backpack and set off towards Bitley along the way to the territory last time. It was just a 20-kilometer journey for him, just a slight silly!

In the past, I was in the army and rushed to thirty kilometers and asked to arrive on foot within four hours; in four hours, the one I was running was not a flat road, but a winding mountain road.

This is still basic training. You need to add obstacles, squat and jump push-ups, crawl forward, etc., physical training emphasizes improving the limits, and you will be exhausted!

Before the sun came out, Li Wei took advantage of the coolness and walked forward; he looked at the roadside, using the information database to view treasure hunting and detect treasures to pass the journey time.

Ordinary limestone, the main component calcium carbonate...

Ordinary pebbles, messy ingredients, worthless...

Ordinary white thatch, with strong vitality and no value...

Ordinary myrrh tree has medicinal value and ingredients...

Ordinary thorn desert dates, barren-resistant plants...

Ordinary desert roses, fleshy shrubs, drought-tolerant...

Most of the valueless, a few myrrh trees are already the most valuable things; Li Wei shook his head and said nothing. This treasure hunt is indeed very unreliable, and the system cannot remind him.

Forget it, let’s farm well! After three months, you will be better off when you become an elite farmer. You will definitely earn some pocket money, one hundred acres of territory~

After two hours, I finally arrived at the small town at the foot of the mountain - Bitley; there were some farmland and wastelands scattered around the town, and some broken houses.

Because of the water source and a ditch flows by, there are quite a lot of plants near the town, which keeps green, and the messy land looks very barren and even covered with weeds.

Somalia's agriculture is backward, which shows that unlike China's fields, there are ridges and the management is very meticulous. They feel that they are purely planting and have no technology at all...

"Grass~No wonder the food is short, no wonder the war!"

Li Wei sighed helplessly, curled his lips and walked slowly into Bitley Town. As a bad guy and a different skin color, he attracted everyone's attention.

Faced with many curious gazes, Li Wei smiled and nodded in response. The simple black uncles also greeted him with a cheerful smile: "Hello, boy~"

"Hello you guys! The business must be pretty good, right?"

In pure Somali, the greeting method is also in line with the habits of Somali people; greeting business, health or how the camel is like, and other trivial things.

It is worth mentioning that the camel is very popular and respected in Somalia; you cannot talk about blaspheming the camel during communication, and you cannot take photos randomly...

Camels occupy an important position in the lives of Somalis; for a long time, people have been accustomed to using the number of camels as a standard for measuring the wealth and poverty.

There are many taboos in Somalia. Men are not allowed to reach out to shake hands with women, are not allowed to ask about women's age, are not allowed to inquire about other people's salary income, etc.

Li Wei's fluent Somali instantly stunned the small vendors next to him, very surprised that he could speak Somali, which was simply unscientific!

If a foreigner is in China, it is definitely not uncommon to speak Chinese; it is normal for more than one billion people to speak, one of the world's mainstream official languages.

But what if he could speak dialect? Fluent dialect?

That's it! There are tens of millions of people in Somalia, and they use English and Arabic widely. There are very few people who are willing to learn this language. It's rare to see it~

"Hi... Hello... Are you a foreigner?" A young man selling meat asked curiously; don't you believe that Li Wei wasted his time when he actually learned Somali?

"Yes, Chinese, China-Lee!"

China-Li, this weird name was invented by Sharif, and it feels pretty good. The locals on the street soon learned that a handsome guy "China-Li" came to the town.

When everyone saw him, they would take the initiative to say hello, whether it was uncles, aunts, or black girls, or black brothers; Li Wei responded with a modest and polite smile, and occasionally introduced himself.

I bought things on the way. The young man just sold him ten kilograms of beef, mutton, camel meat, which was cheap, and it was only a mere twenty dollars in total, and it was a big plastic bag~

Then there are two bags of corn flour, coconut, camel milk cheese pastry, eggs, bananas, lettuce and two fresh frozen hairtail fish... New Year's goods are almost enough!

The key is that he could no longer carry it and quietly transferred the part to the space warehouse. After buying the things, he now looks for the phone number or WiFi and contacts his parents to report safety.

"Hello, can I call the town?"

Li Wei asked the vendors and had some communication to find out that the town could make phone calls and there was an Internet connection! There was also a law enforcement department in the dilapidated town, where you could make phone calls.

The law enforcement department is actually a local armed force, a comprehensive militia tax administration department, and even sells guns. It is normal for the official business to sell weapons. Somalia's public security...

Basically rely on guns! Although it is stable at present, no one comes out to make trouble. If someone makes trouble, it is definitely unreliable to rely on the official, and can only rely on AK--47.

Li Wei also planned to buy a handful of hunting and fun.
Chapter completed!
