1126. The Troublemaker (5/5)
On the Mexican side of the border, there are many cars parked on the side of the road, including Nissan, Toyota, Honda, China Great Wall, Geely, Chery, etc., all of which are low-cost cars.
These people are soliciting, and most of them travel short distances, mainly to towns a kilometre or two away, or they are hired to take people around town.
Godzilla went to rent a car, which was very cheap, and it only cost ten dollars to pull the four of them to town.
Li Du heard that some tourists bargained with the driver, the minimum was thirty yuan, and Godzilla could find the car for ten yuan, and it must be his size and temperament that played a role.
Just a wall, the difference between the two countries is very large, and it is very clear.
The roads in Nogalis are flat and lead in all directions, while the roads in Mexico are dirt roads and the roads are rough and bumpy to sit on.
The road is not far, but there are many of them, and the road conditions are not good, Li Du felt that the fare of ten yuan was a bit bullying, and when he got off the car later, he gave twenty yuan.
After entering the town and getting off the bus, Li Duxian smelled a strange smell in the air, the smell of toasted bread, the sweetness of tacos, and the earthy smell of dust, which were mixed together.
"That's what Mexico tastes like. Godzilla grinned.
Since entering the Mexican territory, Godzilla has become much more active.
By the time we arrived, the shadow of Arizona had disappeared and had been replaced by a Mexican flair.
Some children were happily playing football in the streets, and in the winter, they were barefoot and shirtless, revealing their sturdy little bodies, looking strong and happy.
On the street, there were old people begging with children, also in rags, Li Du shook his head, took out a few Franklin bills and handed them to the old man, and said, "Let's go eat first." ”
There are many stalls on the city streets, and some vendors in wide-brimmed hats push food carts and shout loudly, and the heat rises from the cars, adding a bit of food to the air.
The streets are crowded with tourists.
Li Du exclaimed: "It seems that there are so many people who are interested in Mexico." ”
Godzilla shook his head and said, "There are very few now, more than before." ”
Since bin Laden's terrorist attacks, the United States has tightened border controls to prevent terrorists from infiltrating the country.
Not only are security guards and police constantly checking people's passports, but foreigners are also scrutinized as if every foreigner is a terrorist.
Tourists come to play, the most important thing is the mood, so of course the police will not be very happy, many people no longer travel here, the number of tourists has been greatly reduced.
This small town has a completely different atmosphere from the United States, and the most special thing is that the houses are very brightly colored.
Hans found a food stall with a lot of customers, and as soon as the four of them were seated, a group of young Mexican people came and sat next to them.
A handsome Mexican waiter greeted them with cheerful steps: "Welcome, welcome, welcome, what do you want to eat?"
"Burritos, cheese corn chips, spicy grilled chicken, salmon citrus soy sauce with Mexican chips, tomato chili sauce, salsa, butter sautéed corn truffles, ......"
Godzilla ordered a lot of food and said, "Drink spicy tomato beer, signature cocktail, and bring us a bottle of Emerald Agave." ”
"That's enough, man. Hans leaned back in his chair and whistled.
Godzilla said, "I ask you to ......"
"Who's whistling to my girlfriend?" an angry voice rushed to sound.
Li Du turned his head in astonishment and saw a group of young people standing up at the table next to them.
The youths were tattooed and had the same pattern on the left side of their necks: a saber stuck in a flaming dahlia.
Hans was depressed and explained, "I'm sorry, guys, but I didn't ...... you"
"Hey, damn Yankees!" the young men's expressions changed when they heard his accent, "I hate Yankees the most, and I like Yankees the most, and I like to lecture Yankees." ”
Relations between the United States and Mexico are not good, especially in the border areas, Mexicans are quite unfriendly to Americans, and most of the tourists who come here are not Americans, but tourists from other countries.
A few years ago, in order to crack down on smuggling, the United States launched an operation called "killing wild dogs", which gave birth to a phrase called "those who smuggle across the U.S.-Mexico border face the danger of dying like wild dogs."
The Mexicans are very angry about this, thinking that the Americans insult them, but the United States is strong, and they have nothing to do within the United States, so in Mexico, they will find trouble with the Americans.
Li Du saw that the other party was just looking for trouble, Godzilla stood up and said to the young people, "My buddy is not whistling at you. ”
"Bah, you're a Yankee too?" a young man spat on the ground as he put his arm around the girl.
A boss-like man walked out and said, "Don't mess with me, don't bully my customers, I see, Nellis, they didn't mess with you." ”
The young men were a little jealous of the man, and when they saw him appear, they sat down stupidly.
Hans said helplessly: "Damn, if this is in the United States, who bullies people like this, I will make him look good." ”
Li Du shook his head and said, "Okay, let's say a few words, we're here to eat." ”
The boss came over and brought them a beer, and said with a smile: "I was like those boys, they joined the gang, and they thought that heaven and earth could run rampant." ”
Li Du thanked him and said, "It's just a misunderstanding, boss, your shop is so beautiful and colorful, which is very interesting." ”
"The mayor is engaged in the image project, who wants to decorate his home, he can go to get free paint and paint the house in any color. The boss explained two sentences
When the boss left, a young man sat down, pretended to pour himself a beer, and said, "You Americans, huh?"
Godzilla pressed his glass and stared at the young man.
The young man swallowed his saliva and yelled inwardly, "You dare to do it?"
Li Du motioned Godzilla to let go of his arm, he poured a glass of wine for the young man himself, and said with a smile: "I am Chinese, he is German, this guy is you Mexican, and the other is indeed American." ”
The young man said, "Oh, Americans are very rich, please let us drink and eat." ”
"Do Americans owe you?" asked Li Du unceremoniously.
The young man didn't expect him to answer so strongly, and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"
Li Du said: "Do Americans owe you anything? Why do I have to invite you to dinner when my fellow is an American?"
The young man slapped the table fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Very good, I haven't seen such hard bones like you for a long time, very good, I'm glad to meet you!"
He stood up and beckoned, and a large group of young men stood up, and they threw down their food money and left.
The young man who had drunk their beer before pointed at Li Du and said, "You have a kind, you have a kind, but if you have a kind, you should leave this hotel early, I want to see how hard your bones are!"
