Chapter 1386 African Food
Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong got off the spiral ladder. Lighter had already climbed down from the wooden shelf and was waiting to welcome them there. There were a few women following behind him. According to Lighter, they were all his wives.
Well, Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong admired this very much. They could marry many wives. The lunch was very rich, but neither of them understood what they were eating?
Because so many meats are black and can’t be distinguished after being cut into pieces. It was Yang Geyong who tasted a mutton taste.
They also like to barbecue for meat, but unlike the barbecue in northern Xinjiang, they are real barbecue. Because they are all cooked directly on the fire, the outside is burnt and not cooked inside.
Ye Yuze really wanted to suggest that they remove the baked word on the back, because it's so called roasting.
The staple food is something called Xima. Ye Yuze tasted it for a long time and it turned out to be corn paste. The reason why it is called mash is because the corn porridge is made very sticky.
Actually, Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong don’t hate this thing, mainly because they have never eaten any cornmeal since childhood.
Moreover, the lighter's cornmeal was purely crushed with a stone pestle, and after boiling it, it had a particularly fragrant smell.
Ye Yuze probably should be delicious when steamed into steamed buns, but there is no such way to cook here.
People here like to sit on the ground when eating, and the utensils for serving rice are wooden bowls or simply banana leaves.
The lighter made some improvements, made a big table, and added some dishes such as bowls.
But there are absolutely no chopsticks and knife forks, because the hand is definitely more flexible than eating with tools.
Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong were both unconventional people, so they naturally followed the local customs. Besides, when they were in northern Xinjiang, they went to herdsmen's yurts, and they also liked to use their hands.
Pull the sticks and grab the rice with your hands. Which one is not hot and you can grab it and stuff it into your mouth. It will taste good if you eat it like that. Otherwise, how does the meat with your hands come from? The word "hand" is the soul.
Africans also have their own spices, and this place is rich in lilacs. So when they cook, they put all kinds of spices in them.
To be honest, in addition to the poor appearance and raw maturity, the taste is remarkable if you taste it carefully.
Lighter's father, Chief, welcomed Ye Yuze and the others with his wives. But when the introduction was introduced, the two really couldn't remember the chief's wives.
There are twenty or thirty of this group, from old age to young age, Ye Yuze can't help but admire it secretly. This is life!
It seems that human civilization and evolution actually have many things that should not be abandoned, but they are not to be said, they are not to be said!
The chief is a strong middle-aged man, and it is difficult for people here to judge age, but it is between thirty and fifty.
It is particularly noticeable among the generally thin people because he has a big belly with a rich belly.
In October, it is still midsummer for Africa. People here are lazy because they are too lazy to capital. Food can be seen everywhere to fill their hunger.
The last time Ye Yuze and his friends went to the coastal areas, where the resources were more abundant. But there was also the advantage of this place, that is, the large area of land.
Although it is a bit dry, the area is large. On average, one person can still have 100 acres of arable land. This is what it means to be cultivated. With a large area of wasteland, there is no way to calculate the area.
However, Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong, who are outsiders, cannot tell the difference between the arable land and the wasteland here because they are all covered with weeds.
Lighter told them that it is actually very simple to identify cultivated land, that is, the land where crops and seedlings can be found in weeds is cultivated land, and what is not there is wasteland.
The two of them were shocked to the outside and tender inside, and they had to prostrate themselves. It was indeed the wisdom of Africans!
Then the lighter took them to visit their own diamond mine, which also shocked the two of them. It turned out to be a small hill with a height of not more than thirty meters.
The miners took out holes five meters square inside, then took out the market inside, and carried them to the river to wash.
The tool is a sieve, and fine sand is directly leaked. When larger stones are screened, those transparent and translucent ones are left behind. This is the diamond rough stone.
Don’t think that diamonds sold at sky-high prices are worthwhile here. In fact, they have been shopping for a long time, and the price of these raw stones is only fifty dollars per kilogram.
Ye Yuze doesn't know much about diamonds, but he has bought diamond rings. That thing is sold by carats. One carat is only 0.2 grams. The key is that the price of one carat is a diamond. The worst one is a few hundred dollars, right? What the hell is this fifty dollars per kilogram?
After asking, I realized that the selection and processing of diamonds are all abroad, and they don’t understand these techniques and do not have equipment.
Ye Yuze couldn't help but sigh, this is naked plunder. Just like the industrial chain in later generations, the farming and selling everything is bargain, and what consumers eat is always the price of diamonds. Where is the profit? Only ghosts know that the key is to transport these things, and many roads do not charge for transportation.
No matter how emotional he is, he can't change anything. He can't open a diamond processing factory here, right?
But the two of them really understood one thing, that is, Lighter's father's plane was exchanged for fifty dollars per pound of diamonds.
That's a plane, which is not much bigger than a farm plane. Fortunately, Lighter is driving to the United States to pick them up. Not to mention entering the stratosphere, I guess I don't know where the wind is getting stronger.
The Chief not only had aircraft, but also two pickup trucks, which should be made in the UK. Ye Yuze had never heard of this brand. Although it was old, its performance was pretty good.
When the fire cannot be fired, you can shake the handle and the "twist" horsepower is very powerful. When you run in the wilderness, it is usually small ditches and small hurdles that really can't help it.
Yang Geyong was overjoyed and praised: "This tractor has good performance. I have built a few more cars in the future, which are even better than off-road vehicles. The key is that the cost is lower!"
Ye Yuze shook his head: "Don't look at this thing as simple, but we really don't have this technology."
Originally, Lighter wanted to take them to hunt, but it was late today. Lighter actually had a few rifles in his house.
This is Yang Geyong's true love. He flew over from afar, not just to eat a few meals of roast pork. Isn't the reason why he missed the last trip to Africa for this?
One is to hunt at will, and the other is to be messy. If you are messy, you can just hold a gun at will, just like playing house.
In the evening, lighter held a bonfire party for them, and the handsome men and beautiful women in the tribe gathered together, drinking and dancing. It was very exciting.
