Chapter 997 996. Crazy (55)

Lei Moning's army and rescue did not see it, so Li Du could only stay patiently on Gude's territory and cooperate with his arrangement honestly.

Although he temporarily frightened old man Gude and let him know that he was not easy to deal with, he believed that if something went wrong, old man Gude would not hesitate to attack him and kill himself and his party.

Foreigners disappear in Africa. This kind of thing happens every year. It involves various countries. Unless it is widely exposed by the media or the missing person has great energy, no one cares at all.

Especially the place where Li Du is now, this is the junction of the three countries, no matter where the three countries are, no matter foreigners or locals, there is a possibility of disappearing inexplicably here.

If something happens here, no one will care about it. Even if it alarms the governments of the three countries, it will be useless. African governments can't do anything else.

Goode arranged a guest room for Li and Du. The comfort is much better than that of Lei Moning. The guest room is large in size. It is a duplex room with carpet on the floor and whitewashed walls. The furniture and electrical appliances are complete inside. Fairly comfortable.

The mobile phones of Li Du and others were confiscated, so they could only watch TV to pass the time.

Luckily, the tv here uses a satellite signal and there is a good selection of tv channels from all over the world.

When it was time for dinner, Gude's guards took Li Du to his headquarters, where they searched strictly before they could have dinner together.

There is a dining table in Goode's office, where he usually solves his eating problems.

After Li Du arrived, he smiled happily, welcomed Li Du to the dining table, and asked him to sit down as he pleases.

There is a pot of yellow and white mushy food on the dining table, which looks like mashed potatoes. This is called Saza, also called Sima. It is corn paste, a staple food that people in many African countries like.

Li Du glanced at Saza, Gude smiled and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

"Yes, this is your special staple food. I have eaten it and it tastes very good." Li Du nodded.

Good's smile became more cheerful, and he said, "That's good. We are short of supplies, food is scarce, and the hospitality is not good. Please forgive me, Mr. Li."

In addition to Saza, there were also some plates on the table with vegetables such as beans, celery, and broccoli, as well as some fried chicken, grilled chicken, and fish.

This is a side dish of Saza. In most parts of Africa, only the rich can eat this, because most poor people can eat corn paste, and they have no vegetables and meat to eat.

Along with the food, there was a bottle of red wine to accompany the meal.

The bottle of red wine looked plain on the outside, and Li Du didn't pay much attention to it. When he sat down and the guards poured the wine, he took a closer look and was surprised. The label of this bottle of wine was in the shape of a manor with a few English letters on it. : Petrus, Petrus Winery!

The red wine produced by Petrus Winery is notoriously expensive. According to the statistics of the London International Wine Exchange, the average price of red wine sold by this winery is 20,000 pounds per case.

Estimated in this way, the red wine on the table can top hundreds of tables of sprinkles and side dishes.

"Good wine." Li Du exclaimed.

Seeing that he knew the goods, Gude laughed again: "Are you talking about this bottle of wine? Ha, fortunately, it was given to me by a friend of mine. His son was lost here. I found it for him. So he gave me some red wine as a thank you."

Li Du smiled cooperatively, what got lost, maybe he was kidnapped by you old lunatic?

It can be seen that Gude is a person who knows how to enjoy, but when he eats ordinary food like Saza, he does not resist, and eats it with his hands with relish.

Li Du can't get used to this stuff, just think about what Saza does. Most Chinese people can't get used to it.

Saza is corn paste. Grind corn into cornmeal, wait until a pot of water boils, slowly pour in cornflour, pour cornflour while stirring in one direction with a wooden spoon, let cornflour spread evenly, and finally Slowly condense into a ball of corn paste.

When Li Du saw the process of making this kind of food, he couldn't help but think of the way his hometown people mixed pig food. This kind of corn paste also had the taste of raw corn flour, which was very weird.

But Africans like Saza very much. For them, it is like dumplings to the northern Chinese. It is a very good staple food, and they will even miss it if they don’t eat it for a long time.

Eating salad with vegetables, chicken and fish, Gude sipped red wine and said, "It's been a long time since I have had a meal with friends. It feels so good."

Li Du didn't know how to answer, he raised his glass and said, "Then let's toast to friendship and delicious food."

Goode smiled and said, "I'm more than happy."

This dinner eased the relationship between the two parties. Of course, this may only be on the surface. There are still many problems on the inside. For example, Li Du wanted Goode to choke to death, so he really wanted to escape.

But this is just a fantasy. Good is alive and well, and he will be taken to visit his diamond field the next day.

Just like Lei Moning contacted Li Du, Goode's purpose was to sell the diamonds in his hands for money through Li Du.

In the morning, after checking the training of the soldiers, Goode took Li Du to the outside of the barracks in a jeep.

Sitting in the car, Goode asked straight to the point: "Mr. Li, how many diamonds can you get from Africa every month?"

Li Du said frankly: "I am here this time mainly to investigate the market, and the issue of diamond procurement is out of my control..."

Halfway through his words, Goode's eyes immediately became sharp: "Oh, that is to say, you can't buy diamonds in bulk? Are you useless to me?"

This is quite straightforward, and the subtext is also obvious: If you are useless to me, then why should I keep you?

Li Du quickly changed his words: "This is my purpose, not my ability. Of course I can purchase diamonds, but I don't understand why you need my help in this regard?"

Goode said: "I don't need your help, I just want to see your quotation. Several diamond dealers have given me quotations before, but I am not satisfied. I need to hear more quotations."

Li Du asked, "What price did they offer?"

Goode smiled slightly and said: "You should not pay attention to their prices, but should pay attention to their fate. The quotations these people gave me made me dissatisfied, so I closed the door to see off customers, and later, they failed to return home. "

This was a blatant threat, and Li Du's face suddenly became ugly.

Goode noticed this and explained it specially: "Ah, don't get me wrong, I didn't hurt them, but there are more leopards and lions here, without my protection, maybe they become a delicacy for beasts?"

He continued: "But it's not my fault, is it? They didn't make my partners, and I don't have an obligation to protect them, do I?"

Li Du sneered and nodded: "Yes."

Next door to your mother, you old madman!
