Chapter 11, 11, Abuja
After a moderate turmoil, the three boarded the car again, Huo Yu was coughing, Su Tina bit her lip, and kept wiping the steering wheel vigorously with a tissue, as if trying to wipe away some non-existent Like a shadow.

When the program team finished sorting out all the vehicles and equipment, the stars had already appeared in the sky.

Song Wenbin didn't know the arrangement of the program group, how to shoot the program and how to sell the car. He only knew that the director surnamed Bao took a group of them in a Land Rover to the place where they rested at night.

After leaving the airport, Song Wenbin sat in the car and looked around curiously. He was in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, surrounded by dark-skinned men and women. For a moment, he even felt that he had come to Guangdong. Baohan Street, but unlike blacks abroad, many blacks here wear traditional Muslim white robes and white hats on their heads.

While driving, a group of young children saw the convoy approaching, happily patting the glass, and selling various products to the program group, most of them were some fruits whose names could not be named, especially the director in front of him. The Land Rover that was ridden was marketed the most.

On the contrary, Song Wenbin's Wuling Hongguang blended perfectly into the environment. Others only regarded him as a local car, and no one knocked on his glass at all.

Huge palm tree leaves and low, dilapidated white houses can be seen everywhere on both sides of the street. Where the headlights shine, you can occasionally see open-air toilets, the kind without a roof.

In the middle of the lower road, there are motorcycles and women with baskets on their heads, and occasionally you can see singing and dancing hip-twisting aunts, whose dancing posture is several times more coquettish than domestic square dancing aunts.

After driving for about half an hour, the convoy stopped in front of a large courtyard, which was a residence called Zhonghai Hotel.After getting out of the car, Song Wenbin followed the film crew into the hotel. The hotel is run by a Chinese family. There is a signboard with black letters on a red background at the door. The interior space is very large, but the interior decoration makes Song Wenbin dream of going back to the town of the 90s. It feels like a guest house, even the wooden door of the room where he lives needs a key to open.

When the photographer of the program group went upstairs to look at the room, Song Wenbin and the three had nothing to do, because the three of them had no luggage, so they could only sit in the lobby, looking at the director with a bewildered expression, not knowing what he had planned .

Around 08:30, the director asked Song Wenbin and the three to gather the car in the yard.

After the three took their positions, a staff member of the program group handed Huo Yu a letter.

Huo Yu opened the letter, his face became a little ugly.

I just heard her read: "In order to prove the advantages and disadvantages of your respective car choices, the program team decided that tomorrow you will drive to Lagos, a city on the Atlantic coast 800 kilometers away, which is the most populous city in Africa. Sell ​​their second-hand cars over there, and the person who makes the most profit will become the champion of this show and get a reward of 10 yuan."

Lagos.800 km
The three of them looked at each other, and they could see the worry on each other's faces.Driving 800 kilometers in Africa is not a small number, let alone the three of them have never been to this place.

At this time, Huo Yu put down the letter and asked the program group: "We have nothing on us. We drove [-] kilometers. I'm afraid we can't see it in a day or two. Especially in the road conditions in Africa, you don't prepare for us. A little clothes and daily necessities?"

But no one in the show crew paid any attention to her, they just filmed on their own.

Huo Yu gritted his teeth, looking a little annoyed: "Hey! Talk!"

Seeing that Huo Yu was unhappy, Su Tina quickly said, "We can go to the market to buy some daily necessities. When I drove here, I saw many markets on the road. Would you like to go shopping and buy some together?"

Song Wenbin also said: "That's right, didn't they give us some naira before, it just so happens that this is the capital, the law and order should be good, let's go buy some tonight."

But for this proposal, Huo Yu was not very happy. He just pouted, frowned and walked to his car without saying a word.Song Wenbin also got into his Wuling Hongguang and started it up.

Su Tina still had some concerns, so she went back to the hotel first, and asked the hotel owner about the best places to buy daily necessities in the surrounding area. The owner enthusiastically recommended several Chinese supermarkets in the surrounding area.After receiving this information, Su Tina was relieved and left the Zhonghai Hotel.

Song Wenbin was waiting for Su Tina at the intersection. Su Tina knocked on the window of Song Wenbin's car when she came over. After Song Wenbin pressed the window, Su Tina took out the black radio in her hand and said, "The show has started, let's pair these things together. .”

Song Wenbin had this intention long ago, took the radio in Song Wenbin's hand and paired it with Su Tina's, and Su Tina stood beside Song Wenbin, looked at MG not far away and said, "Huo Yu doesn't seem very happy."

Song Wenbin saw through Huo Yu at a glance, and said with a gloating smile: "Who made her buy such an expensive car, she must have the least expenses along the way."

Su Tina suddenly realized, and then slapped Song Wenbin: "What are you doing smiling so happily, we are a team now!"

"There is still competition in the team."

Song Wenbin handed the adjusted walkie-talkie to Su Tina, and said lazily, "Sorry, I really want that 10 yuan."

Su Tina was speechless, gave Song Wenbin a blank look, and then went to find Huo Yulian on the walkie-talkie.After the three of them connected the walkie-talkie, they drove to the Chinese supermarket that the boss said.

Song Wenbin tested his mobile phone while on the road, and found that the navigation can be used normally here, but the place names in the navigation are all incomprehensible in English, and the input must be in English. Song Wenbin can only give up the navigation and follow Su Tina and behind Huo Yu.

It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at a nearby Chinese supermarket. The supermarket had everything in stock. Song Wenbin bought himself some underwear, toothbrush, shampoo, a few packs of domestic instant noodles, and even some Two bottles of Laoganma Sauce, which made Song Wenbin call it convenient, thinking that he had to rely on Chinese people when he was away from home.

After buying daily necessities, the two girls went to buy clothes again, but there were no clothes for sale in the supermarket, so Song Wenbin had no choice but to drive to the market Su Tina mentioned earlier.

The bazaar Sutina is talking about is probably a long string of roadside stalls plus a congested street selling clothes. Although the storefront is not formal, the variety of clothing inside is dazzling. Especially those hats with strange shapes, disc-shaped, cockscomb-shaped, dumpling-shaped, sock-shaped, umbrella-shaped, cone-shaped, spherical, and even square colorful bells and whistles, even the best designers look You will also be amazed by the brain holes of the people here.

After coming here, Huo Yu forgot the fact that he didn't have much money, and excitedly looked around with Su Tina.

Song Wenbin didn't want to buy the traditional clothes here. Those clothes were too avant-garde for him, so he wandered around the market again.

But soon, he found that the things sold in this place were not only clothes, but also all kinds of weird things, some dried birds, eagle claws, antelope skulls, various wooden dolls, There are even rows and rows of dried monkey heads.It makes people shudder to watch.

But the locals are very interested in those monkey brains, and some women with children are watching with great interest in front of the booth.

Song Wenbin didn't know what the monkey's head was for, so he got out of the car and asked a few questions, but quickly gave up because he didn't understand the language at all.

Then he continued to search for modern clothes, and Song Wenbin finally found a carpet with shirts and jeans hanging in his home.But the director's voice came from the intercom: "Xiao Song, what's the matter with you, do as the Romans do, go buy some traditional Nigerian clothes to wear."

Song Wenbin:
As a last resort, Song Wenbin came to a traditional clothing stall. There were some white robes hanging here, probably traditional Christian clothing. Compared with those strange fancy clothes, Song Wenbin felt that white robes were acceptable, so he He got out of the car and began to try on clothes. After trying on a white robe and a coffee-colored round cap, Song Wenbin was quite satisfied, so he asked about the price.

But the old black guy in the store spoke with a strong aboriginal taste and English, and it took Song Wenbin a long time to make gestures with him before he understood what he was talking about.

"One hundred thousand naira?"

Song Wenbin was stunned by his half-baked English.

"yeah yeah."

"Is your dress made of gold or silver?"

Song Wenbin scolded in Chinese, the show crew only gave him 113 million naira in total, and this brother asked him for [-] naira just by opening his mouth, and he was slaughtered like a pig.

Brother Hei couldn't understand, and repeated the price with clever eyes.

Song Wenbin immediately put down his clothes and left, but the man stopped him immediately and babbled something he couldn't understand. Song Wenbin got impatient and talked with him in Chinese for a long time, saying that he didn't understand what he was talking about. .Finally, the man stretched out five fingers, gesticulating something.

"Fifty thousand naira?"

"yeah yeah."

"yeah your fucking head!"

Song Wenbin hates that people think he is a fool, so he bumps into the shopkeeper and boards Wuling Hongguang by force, and walks away.

Song Wenbin, who didn't want to be slaughtered, drove around the market, wanting to see what prices normal Nigerians buy for clothes. It didn't take long for him to see a group of people gathered around a stall in the market, chatting about something. .

Song Wenbin was curious, so he parked the car nearby and took a look. He laughed out loud when he saw it. It turned out that it was Huo Yu and Su Tina. Huo Yu and Su Tina couldn't accept it, but they still couldn't do it if they wanted to leave. Several aunts stopped them and kept bargaining with them.

I was very upset about being slaughtered, but Song Wenbin was quite happy to see Huo Yu being slaughtered. He took out a bag of melon seeds bought in a Chinese supermarket from the car, and stood aside and kowtowed.

Unlike Song Wenbin, Su Tina and Huo Yu's English is quite fluent, and the two of them competed with the black aunt even red-faced.

The black aunt was also very excited, her voice was loud, and she seemed to be threatening something by patting her huge breasts, which made Huo Yu very upset. She looked around and saw a red brick on the side of the road, and immediately slammed Pick it up.

Song Wenbin thought that Huo Yu was going to hit someone with a brick, so he stretched his neck, but Huo Yu just took the brick and stretched his arm towards the aunt's face suddenly, and the red brick shattered in two and fell out of Huo Yu's hand.

The black aunt on the side stared wide-eyed and was frightened.

The melon seeds fell, and the smile on Song Wenbin's face slowly disappeared.

Huo Yu, who looked a little thin, turned out to be a practicing family.

The surrounding black people also gasped and backed away, wanting to stay away from Huo Yu.

Su Tina even covered her mouth, looking at the brick in Huo Yu's hand with bright eyes, wondering how she did it.

Huo Yu sneered and let go of her hand, letting the broken bricks and rocks fall from her hands.

"Have a good bargain." Huo Yu said in English.

"1200 naira."

Mom said in a low voice.

Huo Yu was very satisfied and the deal was done.

Seeing that Huo Yu bought clothes with 20 RMB, Song Wenbin couldn't sit still, squeezed into the store from outside, pointed to a tablecloth-like tablecloth on the wall and said: "this, take it to me!"

A few minutes later, Song Wenbin put on the gaudy tablecloth, a black round hat, a long string of yellow necklaces of unknown material around his neck, and came out wearing low-quality sunglasses. Very satisfied, I kept taking pictures around him.The two girls laughed on the sidelines.

Song Wenbin sat in Wuling Hongguang expressionless, and explained to the camera: "It's the master's task."

I don't know how long it took, the night shooting ended, Song Wenbin was so tired that he was dying, he didn't look at a set of clothes after buying, but the two women in the team almost watched the market from beginning to end, tried There are a hundred times of clothes, but in the end I only bought two sets of clothes.

After returning to Zhonghai Hotel late at night, Song Wenbin fell asleep, praying in his heart that he would not be too tired for tomorrow's shooting task.
