The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer - Chapter 2112 The best gift for a chieftain

Uganda next door is similar to Botswana, Zhang Nan's base camp, which can be called a country on the back of a cow. Uganda's high-quality cowhide is exported to the world, such as many tanneries in Lucheng, Jiangnan, China, which use Ugandan cowhide.

Ugandan cowhide, high quality!

But every time he talks about this Ugandan cowhide, Zhang Nan always wants to laugh. The familiar scene from the roadside stall in his previous life screamed "Jiangnan Leather Factory closed down, the boss took his sister-in-law to abscond with the money...", always in his mind. popped out.

I can't help it, I'm too familiar with it. At that time, after a year or two of hard work, when I went to the market to buy a dish, I could hear a stall beside me roaring.

I also asked others to buy a leather belt. To be honest, the authentic cowhide has not broken after using it for several years!

"Jiangnan Leather Factory", the quality is great!

In fact, not only the Jiangnan Leather Factory, but also the Ding Shoe Store next to the vegetable market in Lian County, because the owner is a friend, he clearly told him: we use imported Ugandan cowhide, the quality is not to be said, it is cheaper than the domestic one.

This will make Uganda's population of more than 20 million, unable to fight a war, and will be beaten by its own group casually.

But people are really good at raising cattle, and there are at least 6 million cattle in the country. Even the cattle industry in areas with similar climate and natural environment nearby is quite developed, such as Rwanda and the Kim Bunia region of Congo where Zhang Nan is located.

This is the deep inland area of ​​the African continent with notoriously bad traffic. There was no railway before, and there were many cattle, but the export was not convenient.

It is too far from the sea, and it is more convenient to export cowhide than live cattle and beef, so the price of beef here is really not expensive for the logistics of the group.

Compared with Huaxia, the beef price in Bunia is 10%-20% of Huaxia.

It is also pure natural. The cows are not vaccinated or fed artificial feed, they just eat grass, and it is very occasionally possible to add some coarse grains.

The breeds of cattle are also primitive, and more than 80% of them are native to the local area. The meat quality of the cattle raised in this way is unimaginable, but it is definitely strong enough, and the unique taste of beef is also relatively strong.

When I buy beef in a vegetable farm in Huaxia, I can sometimes complain like this: Now the veggie cows raised on this farm have no beef anymore!

Complaints like this are impossible in Black Africa.

This beef is absolutely delicious!

Tasty and cheap, local lamb is just as common but cheaper than beef.

As for pork...

I'm sorry, the price of local pork is a bit more expensive than beef, and the meat quality is really not good. As for the frozen goods shipped from abroad...

Forget it, serious people eat frozen pork.

Archaeological excavation at the construction site, regardless of whether it is a local laborer or a Chinese expert, can be regarded as physical labor if one is counted. The person in charge of logistics will naturally provide beef to the construction site every day.

In addition to beef, there are too few other delicious food, and there is not much choice.

This tapioca flour is not something that people eat in terms of logistics. As for which bananas to eat?

Boiled bananas, fried bananas, roasted bananas...

Can't stand it!

For those who serve the group, even if they are temporary workers, the group will never lose out on eating. As a result, the workers on the construction site are more active in their work and more active in eating.

Workers, cooks, eat well enough to have strength.

Everyone has a good appetite. You must know that the beef in Bunia is cheap for outsiders. For local ordinary people, usually tapioca flour is added with some tender tapioca leaves to cook and it is a meal.

Potatoes are a good thing, corn flour is only bought when you bite your teeth, cattle are precious, and beef is a good thing to eat during important festivals.

All kinds of jungle meat are the meat that ordinary people here can afford occasionally.

Fortunately, there seems to be no Ebola here, and monkeys and orangutans eat relatively little. People here in Bunia prefer to eat all kinds of antelope, deer, birds, and wild buffalo in the forest.

The canteen of the archaeological site does not serve game. Since the outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo a few months ago, the group's in-house meals in the jungles of central Africa are strictly prohibited from serving game.

Before this temporary ban is lifted, even antelope meat is not allowed to be eaten. Who can guarantee that Ebola is only transmitted through primates!

Craving meat?

Where conditions permit, there are some fresh beef, sheep, pork and poultry. As for areas where fresh meat is difficult to supply, let’s eat frozen American chicken and Botswana frozen beef.

This will see that the food of these local workers is not bad, Zhang Nan will go to the second "expert canteen".

That's right, the same big shed, the sign hanging on the door is the Chinese character "expert canteen".

The large windows are well ventilated and there are screens.

The cement floor in the cafeteria is the same as the previous one without air conditioning, because there is no need to rely on it to cool down, it is very cool here, and even the ceiling fans hanging overhead do not need to be turned on for the time being.

not hot.

The dining table with welded angle iron and plastic backrest, and a few plates of mosquito repellent incense sticks are lit in the corners of the canteen. Other than that, it is similar to the previous canteen.

Compared with the former one, this cauldron meal has more types and no difference in calories.

Self-service, according to actual needs, the chef can continue to cook a dish in the kitchen at any time, so that everyone can eat hot dishes.

Zhang Nan said before that he didn't need to open a small stove, so he took a plate and cooked rice by himself.

There are black pepper steaks that are suitable for both Chinese and Western, and braised beef, which is never absent from the group, but Zhang Nan didn't want these two, but took a piece of stir-fried beef shreds with garlic leaves.

Garlic leaves, which the man himself grows with sprouted garlic.

The staple food is rice. It is said that there are buns for breakfast, white-cut steamed buns, and bread.

Vegetables are just the same, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a stir-fried greens that is very rare here.

The dining hall is open, and the kitchen is not prepared to process troublesome fish, and there are no fish that are too large in the nearby Albert Lake. If frozen goods are transported, it is better to send more refrigerated vegetables here.

In this place, except for potatoes and onions, which are actually grains, other vegetables are more expensive than beef!

It's not delicious, it's okay.

After the meal, the local mayor brought several representatives of the citizens of Bunia and said that there was a gift for the respected Mr. Allen.

"What will it be?"

Looking at the reaction of Nong Bosheng and others, it seems that he knows the inside story, and he is still smiling.

There are many gold mines in this place, but it can't be gold bricks. Who will send that here?

"Beautiful guinea pigs? Unlikely, the Congolese gold doesn't seem to be very guinea pigs.

diamond? No, the DRC will be the second largest producer of diamonds in the world, but the closest production area to Bunia is thousands of kilometers away..."

Zhang Nan guessed in his mind, but seemed to have forgotten one thing. This gift is very particular.

He is the most powerful chief in Africa and a chief in Botswana, so...

When he saw the gift, Zhang Nan was a little dumbfounded!

It was a herd of cows, there could be at least fifty or sixty heads. Except for the one at the front, the others were only fat and strong.

To give a Botswana chief a fat and strong cow, no one can fault the etiquette. This is the favorite gift of the chiefs.

The exaggerated horns seem to be able to pierce the sky. Although the leading end is a little thin, it actually has three horns!

This is the Ankola Longhorn, a famous ancient cattle breed on the African continent, adaptable to harsh environments and still large.

The most conspicuous are their horns...

Bullshit!

When Adjani saw these cows, "haha" laughed.

"Ellen, this gift is very precious, with a fat head and a strong body, and the horns are so big, it is absolutely the best of the best!

Especially the end of the three horns, there is no one in ten thousand, in ancient China, this is auspicious.

Here, with this herd of cows, it is a big family, if you go to change your wife, 20 will definitely be no problem..."

"Blah blah blah" is not wrong.

Cow is wealth, not to mention that this group is a carefully selected boutique.

Zhang Nan's face is not dark, he can only smile and say: "This gift... Forget it, it's pretty good.

There is no need to ship it back to Botswana. I think it's all high-quality goods. It's just next to the entire cattle farm. Anyway, some of it is a site, and it will be part of the heritage park in the future.

So be it. "
