Chapter 21 21, Cheap Gasoline

Everyone looked at the entrance of the gas station again and found that no one was filling up. Song Wenbin felt that it was not normal. Since locals did not choose to go to the gas station to fill up, there must be something fishy about it. As a foreigner, he should not rush to fill up.

Well come.

Huo Yu thought for a while and saw a canteen next to the gas station. He walked inside and bought a bag of potato chips while chatting with the boss. When he came out, she waved and said, "Go over there."

The two followed Huo Yu and turned two street corners. They saw several rows of wooden stalls at the intersection. There were rows of glass bottles and plastic buckets on the stalls. The glass bottles were old in color and the plastics were faded and dirty.

I don't know how many times I have used it.

But the passing motorcycles parked in rows in front of those stalls. After collecting the money, the stall owner picked up the glass bottle and filled the fuel tank. After filling the tank, the motorcycles drove away in a hurry.

.

"Good guy, it turns out that the oil here is sold privately."

Huo Yu said.

Song Wenbin then remembered that he had seen stalls like this on the streets of other cities, but he didn't think much about it at the time. He only thought they were selling some kind of medicine or local products, but he didn't expect that they were gasoline.

"Let's go and have a look."

he said.

The three of them came to the stall. Huo Yu started to ask the stall owner about the price of gasoline. The black aunt owner pointed at Huo Yu with her finger. Huo Yu was surprised, and Su Tina was also surprised. Song Wenbin couldn't understand the native English of these black people.

Just asked Sutina: "What are they talking about?"

Sutina was surprised: "Why did I violate the agreement?"

People passing by saw the aunt and greeted her from time to time. The aunt also greeted them happily.

"You're so boring."

"Yes."

"No, I have to get off work now, and I don't have a car to deliver gas to you. You can only find a way to transport the gas back by yourself."

After hearing this, the aunt still shook her head, babbled something in her mouth, and kept making gestures with her fingers.

Song Wenbin was anxious and carried it back by himself. He had to walk ten kilometers back. It was night and in the wilderness. It was unrealistic to carry so much gasoline.

Sutina pouted, and then she was happy again: "Auntie definitely didn't lie to us."

"I won't go, whoever wants to go can go."

Huo Yu said angrily: "I don't think there is anything to envy."

"It won't be against the rules if you get out of a Rolls-Royce and walk on the red carpet in a long skirt." Song Wenbin said.

Huo Yucong translated Song Wenbin's meaning.

Su Tina asked Huo Yu, who also had the same doubts. But after asking the boss, Su Tina turned to Song Wenbin and told Song Wenbin: "The boss said her oil is all 98."

Soon, the cart came to a village near a city. It was close to the Niger River, the largest river in the country, and water pools could be seen everywhere.

"I will still go." Song Wenbin said.

Huo Yu laughed out loud.

The expression on Song Wenbin's face became very strange.

Behind them, the photographers riding on the Hilux were holding cameras and filming them relentlessly. Seeing them like this, Song Wenbin thought that if he could improve the ratings, he would be afraid that these people would do the same.

Follow and take pictures.

He hurriedly told Huo Yu: "You told her that the distance is not far, only ten kilometers, and we can pay her to help us deliver it."

The two men immediately shook their heads.

"What about the exchange rate?"

The car's horsepower was not very high, and it made a huffing and puffing sound when carrying the weight of three people as it traveled hard on a road that was not smooth.

Sutina suddenly became enlightened and nodded vigorously: "Yes, that's exactly it."

Sutina calculated it and said: "It is equivalent to three yuan in RMB, which is equivalent to about 240 naira in naira."

Two liters of oil cost three yuan, and one liter of oil costs one dollar and a half.

Huo Yu first refused.

Huo Yu rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to her.

"Actually, I think it's pretty good here."

But their appearance is quite common on this African continent.

Song Wenbin and the other two looked at each other in confusion after hearing this.

"Hahaha."

Sutina was very hesitant and said, "We have been deceived once before and now we have to go with someone else. It's not good."

Sutina translated: "It is impossible for me to trade with you again tomorrow. I have already got off work today, but if you feel that there is no place to go, I can take you to our village. There is a big place for you to rest there until tomorrow morning."

, I can ask my son to help you deliver the oil."

Su Tina translated: "She said that I have already got off work, and we don't work at night. You can ask other night drivers to deliver it, but because you bought so much gas from me, I advise you not to do this, because they will bring a lot of it with them.

People, the asking price is also very high, and it is very likely that they will take your oil to other places to sell it, so you should transport it during the day tomorrow. During the day, there are many transport fleets here, all of which are local brother fleets and are very honest.

.”

Song Wenbin also had doubts in his heart, so he said, "Then shall we go back with the oil?"

"Cent?"

Song Wenbin and Sutina looked at her at the same time, and she immediately became expressionless again.

Song Wenbin stared at the aunt, who was obviously a little impatient.

Song Wenbin took out a 100 naira note from his pocket and handed it to the aunt, who immediately shut up.

"Actually, you can feel it too."

The aunt was not surprised, she just stretched out her finger and made a gesture.

"You may not think that this place is very poor and shabby, but it is very down-to-earth." Sutina said.

Sutina translated it.

"this"

Sutina said suddenly, sitting on the tricycle and shaking her legs happily: "Sitting on a tricycle for a ride in Africa would be the envy of many people."

After hearing this, Song Wenbin felt that what Auntie said made sense, but it was getting so late, where would they go with the oil, and where would they go to find an honest convoy the next day.

But the aunt ignored them. After selling all the oil in the stall, she happily started the gasoline motor under the stall and was about to ride away from the stall. Seeing this, Song Wenbin hurriedly stopped her.

At this time, an old Toyota pickup truck driving goods came not far away. The black driver got out of the car and filled up the gas directly and left with satisfaction.

Song Wenbin said.

The temperature had dropped by now, and the cool night breeze blew through Song Wenbin's hair. They sat on what was barely a three-wheeled motorcycle and looked behind them.

Song Wenbin said: "She doesn't know us at all. If she wants to make money, she can raise the price of gas and sell it to us at the same price as the gas station. I don't think she needs to go to extra trouble and deceive us into other places to kill us."

She is still worried.

Song Wenbin is incredible.

Huo Yu shook his head before he could translate, "You're dreaming."

Song Wenbin said: "We can't carry so many bottles and cans, and it's inconvenient for us to carry them. Please help me ask if I can let her take them back and trade them tomorrow morning."

Huo Yu didn't think anything was wrong, but she felt that Song Wenbin looked like a rich Chinese man who went out to buy goods like crazy, but she still conveyed Song Wenbin's intention to the black aunt.

Su Tina translated for Song Wenbin: "Huo Yu asked her how to sell oil, and the boss said two liters cost 55 cents."

Sutina said happily: "Otherwise you wouldn't have come up."

After she finished speaking, she helped Song Wenbin translate. The aunt shook her head like a rattle. She didn't even speak this time, but flatly refused.

They didn't want to walk the road with animal bones in the wilderness again.

Sutina: "It seems to make sense."

The two women looked at him in surprise.

Passing by were an extra-long motorcycle carrying ten people, a Toyota pickup truck with people on the roof, and even a large 28-bar with at least 500 kilograms of weight tied to both sides.

Huo Yu remained silent.

The aunt was a little unhappy when she saw that Song Wenbin wouldn't let her go, so she started mumbling something.

After the two parties settled the money and goods, Song Wenbin said: "We have to transport so much oil back. The journey is too long and not safe. Ask her if she can help us send it there."

After hearing this, the aunt shook her head and babbled something. Sutina stayed in Song Wenbin's ear and acted as a human translator for him.

Song Wenbin added: "It is impossible to turn back at night. We have only two choices now. One is to take the oil to find a hotel to stay. The other is to take the oil to live with the aunt. No matter what we choose, we may be raped by the Africans.

Pitfall. It is known that our awareness of fraud prevention is not as strong as we think. I would rather trade a second time with someone who has already had a successful transaction with us."
