Chapter 1130 Refreshing Oil
Zhang Zian stopped for a while, waiting for the stray dogs in front to run away before moving on.
Different organizations have different assessments on the prevalence of rabies in Egypt. Some organizations give the same high-risk rating as China; some organizations believe that the epidemic has only been found in wild animals in Egypt, and the risk is lower than in China, but not It is clear that in this standard, stray animals are not considered wild animals.
In short, Zhang Zian didn't want to test himself to see if the Egyptian rabies vaccine was effective.
After walking to the northeast for a few minutes, he passed dazzling temples one after another, and the number of pedestrians in front of him suddenly increased. Looking at the map, he confirmed that he had arrived at the famous Khan Khalili Market.
Khan Khalili Market is not a "one" market, but a small commodity market composed of thousands of small shops in dozens of narrow streets and alleys. It mainly sells various handicrafts to tourists from all over the world. Handicrafts, of course, there is no shortage of specialty snack bars to feast on.
Whether it is the Hussein Square next to it or here, the buildings with Arabic style have replaced high-rise buildings. If a poet with a romantic sentiment is here, he will definitely sigh and enter the world of the Arabian Nights.
However, this is like a house in the Forbidden City. The first few looked quite fresh, and I hurriedly took pictures to commemorate them, but after seeing too much, it's just like that. What's more, these buildings are very old. There are at least 20-year-old air conditioner outdoor units hanging precariously on the second floor, which makes people very nervous.
"Ah!" Femas sneezed loudly, sniffed and said, "It smells so strong!"
Not to mention Femas, who has a keen sense of smell, even Zhang Zian could feel a bit too strong fragrance rushing towards his face. It may be because the locals have a strong smell and do not take a bath frequently. Fragrances are popular here.
Maybe it's because I don't like the smell of essence, but stray dogs have almost disappeared here.
Zhang Zian came early, and there were not many pedestrians here, because Egyptians usually have two meals a day, at nine or ten in the morning and four or five in the afternoon. Dinner is the main meal, which is relatively rich, and breakfast is casual.
"Howl!"
A strange greeting sounded.
Zhang Zian followed the prestige and saw several local men in white robes sitting at the door of the shop on the street, smoking hookahs. The silver hookah is exquisite in workmanship, but the place where it is often held has been oxidized and blackened. They noticed Zhang Zian, who had black hair and yellow skin, and excitedly exhaled a big mouthful of smoke.
He hesitated for a while whether to answer in Japanese, Korean or Chinese, and finally waved in Chinese: "Hello."
The other party made gestures and murmured something, as if praising him for having a good cat and a good dog, and then invited him to smoke a hookah.
Zhang Zian was not interested in smoking hookah, but he still politely went over to have a look.
These men enjoyed themselves very much, smoking hookah, drinking black tea, and playing Egyptian mahjong. Seeing Zhang Zian coming over, they warmly invited him to sit down and play mahjong together.
Zhang Zian couldn't even play Chinese mahjong, let alone Egyptian mahjong, so he quickly waved his hand and refused.
But these men were still very enthusiastic, even a little too enthusiastic, and handed the hookah cigarette holder that they had just taken out of their mouths to Zhang Zian's mouth, as if they wanted him to take a puff no matter what.
Are the Egyptian people so hospitable?
But no matter how enthusiastic he was, Zhang Zian couldn't put his mouth down on the cigarette holder that had been sucked by his ancestors for many years.
You should know that Egypt not only has the largest number of stray dogs in the world, but also has the highest incidence of hepatitis C in the world - 15%. At least 3 million Egyptians carry hepatitis C virus, and almost every family has hepatitis C patients. Although theoretically speaking, hepatitis C is generally not transmitted through saliva, but... when it is time to counsel, you still have to counsel.
The large-scale spread of hepatitis C virus in Egypt began in the 1950s, when the Egyptian government used unsterilized syringes to vaccinate the whole population.
Since then, it has been out of control, which is a typical man-made disaster.
Some foreigners who need to stay in Egypt for a long time for business or private reasons, or those who have a cleanliness habit even though they are traveling for a short period of time, will even inject themselves with hepatitis C vaccine before departure just in case.
Zhang Zian hadn't been vaccinated against hepatitis C, and he didn't want to take the risk. He counted, and there were exactly six Egyptian men smoking shisha in this row. According to the 15% probability, one of them should be a carrier of hepatitis C virus... It's almost like Russian roulette, exciting.
He was so entangled by these men that he had an idea and remembered that he bought a lot of cooling oil according to the strategy on the Internet before he set off, because he heard that the Egyptians are very fond of cooling oil made in China, and they can even be used as tips at certain times Use is simply hard currency.
So, he took out a few boxes of cooling oil from his pocket and gave them with a smile on his face.
Richard lost no time in dubbing in Arabic: "Gah! Come, come, come, the emperor's version of cooling oil from China is for everyone!"
Several men were stunned at the same time, with unbelievable surprise bursting from their thick eyebrows and big eyes, they put down their hookahs and teacups and surrounded them, and stopped playing mahjong.
They couldn't care less about being surprised that Zhang Zian could speak Arabic so fluently, but were more interested in the so-called Emperor's Cooling Oil.
Egypt is well-known for being hot and dry. It doesn’t mean that the locals can fully adapt to the weather after living here for a long time. The locals also feel hot. Besides, they wear a lot of clothes, but there is nothing they can do. Not everyone has money. immigrate.
In their opinion, the heat-relieving effect of cool oil is very miraculous. It can not only relieve the heat but also cover up their overly strong body odor, which is much better than essence!
Zhang Zian couldn't understand Arabic, but he observed the expressions of these Egyptians and noticed that the expressions of these Egyptians were different. They stared at him with hunger and hunger like wolves who had seen blood. It's not good to be too handsome, but this bastard is going to cause trouble for me again, isn't it? It seems that it is really going to be sent to the kitchen of KFC!
He scolded the neighbor next door, if these five big and three thick men swarmed up, then he would really only be covered in a big man!
However, he soon realized that he had misunderstood it. What they were looking at was not him, nor his chrysanthemum, but the cooling oil in his hand!
He thought to himself, he knew that the Egyptians liked cooling oil, but did they like it to this extent? This is almost a steal!
Or is it that the cooling oil he holds in his hand is particularly popular with the locals?
You know, in order to maintain the friendship between the people of China and Egypt, he bought a batch of precious cooling oil and packed it in a suitcase and brought it to Egypt.
It's not the low-end junk like the so-called Taobao hits, but the Pinxixi hits!
