You don't need a ticket to buy things in Wadi Town, so there are many people buying and selling things.
There are all kinds of things for sale on the street, food, daily necessities, toys, decorations, and people set up stalls to sell them all.
The most common of these are jade ornaments.
It is probably because there are many natural mines in Wadi Town. In addition to gold, silver and copper mines, jade mines are also one of them.
"How much is this?" Song Ruan asked, picking up a fruit green jade pendant.
The stall owner made a number with his hand and mumbled something that Song Ruan didn't understand.
"He said this costs one hundred bei, which is equivalent to one dollar." Xiang Yin translated.
"One dollar?"
"Well, the valuable things in Wadi Town are the gold and silver mines. The prices of jade and other things are not too high. If you want to buy them, you can go to those big shops. The quality of these street stalls is not very good." Xiang Yin said.
"Then please ask him if he will accept money from China."
Xiang Yin shook his head. "No, if you want to buy it, we can exchange it for money."
Xiang Yin seemed to be quite familiar with this place. He took Song Ruan to a pawnshop where one could exchange money for money or items for money.
Song Ruan took out an old watch and exchanged it for the local currency, eight thousand bei, which was equivalent to eighty yuan in Chinese currency.
With the money, Song Ruan bought some things and then found a local hotel to settle down.
With money to pave the way, even if Song Ruan and Xiang Yin came here illegally, they could still stay in a hotel.
"I haven't slept for a whole day and night. I want to sleep. Don't come and wake me up before noon tomorrow."
Before opening the door, Song Ruan gave instructions to Xiang Yin, who lived in the room next to her.
"Okay." Xiang Yin saw that she looked sleepy, so he naturally didn't say anything.
After opening the door, Song Ruan locked it immediately, then went into the space and changed her clothes.
She found that people in Wadi town wore a wrapped hat on their heads.
So she took advantage of Xiang Yin's absence and went to buy a men's hat and some local clothes.
Song Ruan thickened her eyebrows, painted her skin darker, and then put on local men's clothes and hat.
Her belly has been getting bigger recently, so she can only wear some thick clothes inside and then put on loose local clothes outside.
After dressing up, Song Ruan transformed himself into an ordinary local man with ordinary looks, height and figure.
After finishing these tasks, Song Ruan slowly opened the door of the room and sneaked out.
Song Ruan plans to go alone to find Yang Bin.
Firstly, when she asked Xiang Yin where to find Yang Bin, Xiang Yin obviously didn't know and just said perfunctorily, "Take your time."
Secondly, she did not trust Xiang Yin, and it would be most convenient for her to act on her own.
So, she pretended to stay in a hotel, then secretly changed her clothes and came out.
With her dressed like this, it would be difficult for Xiang Yin to find her even if he discovered her and tried to inquire about her whereabouts.
The first thing Song Ruan did after coming out was to go to the place where he had just exchanged money and exchanged ten thousand Chinese yuan for one million shells.
Because, next time she looks for someone, she plans to use money to pave the way.
Then she returned to the busy street she had just walked through, ready to ask someone about the house.
She didn't plan to stay in a hotel. She planned to rent a house and then look for someone after she had a fixed residence.
Song Ruan bought a large local pancake and ate it while walking on the street and paying attention to her surroundings. She wanted to find someone who could speak both the local dialect and Chinese to act as a translator.
The sesame cakes in Wadi Town are really delicious. One sesame cake is as big as twice her face, and it is filled with delicious minced meat.
Song Ruan was eating bite by bite. Suddenly, a beggar ran past her and snatched the big pancake from her hand.
Song Ruan was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had been robbed.
The beggar who snatched her pancake was eating it while running. I don’t know if he was afraid that she would snatch it back or that other beggars would snatch it away.
Song Ruan had her food stolen and was about to give up, but when she saw the beggar eating while running, and not very fast, she chased after him.
In less than a minute, the beggar finished eating the huge pancake.
After eating, he didn't run away. He just sat in the corner and let Song Ruan come over to beat and scold him.
Song Ruan was furious when she saw his dead pig-like attitude that was not afraid of boiling water.
"You little thief! Don't think I can do nothing to you!"
Wang Ming didn't want to talk at first. He thought that he would just be beaten up for stealing things, and he was used to it.
But the familiar voice of the person in front of him made him raise his head.
"Are you Chinese?"
After asking this question, Wang Ming sneered again, thinking that his question was obviously unnecessary.
"I'm sorry, I won't steal yours next time. I thought you were from Wadi because of your attire. I didn't know you were Chinese."
Song Ruan: “…” It turned out that she was robbed because of this outfit.
"That's not the point! The point is that it's wrong to rob things. You should change someone else. What if they beat you half to death?"
"I can't help it. I'm too hungry. It was indeed my fault for taking your pancake. How about you take a look at what I have on me that I can give you as compensation?"
"Then what do you think you have that can serve as compensation?" Song Ruan stared at him.
Wang Ming leaned against the wall and said lifelessly, "Then there is nothing I can do. My life is cheap, and giving it to you as compensation is not worth much."
"Then can you speak the local dialect?" Song Ruan suddenly remembered his needs and asked subconsciously.
"A little bit." Wang Ming nodded.
"Is there a place to rent here? How about you act as my translator and take me to rent a house as a way to pay off the debt?"
Wang Ming glanced at the man in front of him. This man was a Chinese compatriot and he did not hit him because he snatched the sesame cake.
Wang Ming pursed his lips and said seriously: "It's not safe to rent a house from those people, and the price will also rip you off. If you trust me, I can help you find a house."
"Of course, Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people, so of course I believe you." Song Ruan said with a smile.
In an unfamiliar place, you may run into problems when doing anything.
Relatively speaking, although the beggar in front of her robbed her things, she did not feel bad about him. Besides, he was a Chinese and a compatriot.
Wang Ming was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What kind do you want to rent?"
The saying that Chinese people don’t cheat Chinese people made Wang Ming want to help her find a house from the bottom of his heart.
Song Ruan thought for a moment, and counted on her fingers, saying, "Rent an expensive, good, and well-located house, preferably one that is safe and where no one dares to cause trouble."
Wang Ming nodded immediately after hearing this: "There really is such a housing area. It is a wealthy area with guards patrolling. If beggars like me want to go to the wealthy area to beg, we can't do that."
"Okay, let's go there and take a look."
Song Ruan thought about it for a moment and decided to rent there.
"Since beggars are not allowed in there, I will take you to buy a set of clean clothes and you will be my interpreter."
