Chapter 311 Big Gold Teeth
“Young man, are you Mr. Ye Bufan?”
Big Gold Tooth approached Ye Bufan with a bright smile, revealing his mouth full of gold teeth. He had a cigarette in his hand, appearing out of nowhere.
“I am Ye Bufan. You must be Sima Wei’s friend, right?”
Before setting off, Sima Wei had introduced him to a friend, the head of Xuanyuan Pavilion in Africa. He hadn’t expected him to be such a lewd middle-aged man.
Not only was this guy ugly, but he also spoke with a hoarse voice, coupled with an unknown accent, making him feel a bit strange.
“Hello, my name is Big Gold Tooth. Everyone calls me that. After calling me for so long, I even forgot the name my mom gave me.”
Big Gold Tooth said, shaking Ye Bufan’s hand warmly. He then looked at He Shuangshuang and said, “Brother Ye, is this your girlfriend? She’s truly too beautiful. There isn’t a woman this beautiful in all of Africa.”
Seeing this person compare her to the black women in Africa, He Shuangshuang was somewhat amused and politely said, “Hello, I’m He Shuangshuang.”
Big Gold Tooth took a deep drag from the cigarette in his hand, exhaled a ring of smoke, and said, “Alright, let’s go. I’ve already arranged the accommodation.
Since we’re all friends, I must treat you to a good meal here.”
After speaking, he led the two of them out of the airport, pointed to a yellow taxi, and said, “This is my car. Get in.”
The three of them got into the car together and headed towards the city center of South F Country’s capital.
Big Gold Tooth seemed very excited after seeing his compatriots and was very talkative. He talked nonstop along the way, introducing the local customs and traditions to the two of them.
It’s just that this guy smoked too heavily, one cigarette after another, almost never without a cigarette in his hand. Although the windows were open, it still made Ye Bufan and He Shuangshuang feel very uncomfortable.
He said, “Brother Gold Tooth, you’re smoking a bit too heavily. Smoking too much isn’t good for your health.”
“I’m sorry, did I bother you?”
Big Gold Tooth took a final drag from the half-smoked cigarette butt in his hand, then flicked it out the window with a snap.
Although the car was speeding, the cigarette butt still landed accurately into a trash can.
“Brother Ye, you don’t know, but your old brother here has no choice.”
Big Gold Tooth exhaled the smoke from his mouth and then said, “In the blink of an eye, I’ve been in this godforsaken place for ten years. What do you think I can do without family or friends?

Drown my sorrows in alcohol? Absolutely impossible. Tiger Girl should have told you about my situation. Those of us in this line of work must remain sober at all times.
Women? The black women here, even with the lights off, your brother can’t bear to take off his pants.
Everyone in life must have some hobbies. Since alcohol and women are out, I can only smoke. One thing led to another, and I developed such a heavy smoking addiction.
If the women here were half as beautiful as the Young Miss, I wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Big Gold Tooth’s words were crude, but they didn’t cause any offense.
Ye Bufan said, “Old brother has been here for ten years already?”
“Isn’t that the truth? Those old guys tricked me into coming here. At first, they said they’d let me go back in three years.
As a result, I waited anxiously for three years, and then they said I had experience and was familiar with the situation here, so they kept me here. Now I know I was tricked by those old guys.”
Big Gold Tooth was a very good driver and was very familiar with the area. Half an hour later, the group entered the city and stopped in front of a small restaurant that didn’t look very big.
“Brother Ye, don’t let the small facade here fool you. The food they make is quite good, barely acceptable to us Chinese.”
Big Gold Tooth led the two out of the car, locked it, and walked into the restaurant to find a relatively clean table to sit at.
He was very familiar with the place. After ordering food with the owner, he said, “Brother Ye, Miss He, you don’t know, the most painful thing here is not being able to eat good food.
I was from Sichuan back then, and the deliciousness of Sichuan cuisine is known worldwide. When I came here, it was all over. I eat like a pig every day.”
After speaking, he pulled out another cigarette, put it in his mouth, took a drag, and said, “Now, besides smoking, I really can’t think of anything else to do. Just thinking about the delicious food from my hometown makes my mouth water.”
Hearing him say that, Ye Bufan took his large backpack and said, “Old brother, I brought you some gifts this time. See if you like them.”
With that, he pulled out two bottles of Laoganma hot sauce, two bottles of 15-year maotai, and two cartons of Chinese cigarettes from his bag.
“Oh my goodness, Brother Ye, you truly are my great benefactor! This stuff is simply too good; you can’t buy it here even with money.”
Big Gold Tooth was beaming with joy, as if it were New Year’s. He reached out, grabbed a pack of cigarettes, tore it open, quickly pulled out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a blissful drag.
Then he grabbed a bottle of Laoganma, twisted open the lid,

closed his eyes, took a deep sniff with his nose, and finally grabbed a spoon nearby, scooped a large spoonful, and put it in his mouth.
He closed his eyes, as if enjoying a delicacy from heaven, then smacked his lips and said, “This is wonderful! I haven’t enjoyed this taste in so many years.”
Seeing him like that, He Shuangshuang asked curiously, “Logistics are so developed now. Can’t you buy these things here?”
Big Gold Tooth said, “Although they’re sold very rarely, you can buy them. However, the things sold here have changed their taste; they’re completely different from what we have in China.”
Soon, a fragrant aroma wafted into the restaurant, and the owner brought over several of the local specialty dishes.
Most of them were meat dishes, but they looked completely different from Chinese cuisine, with a somewhat strange feeling.
“Brother Ye, have a taste. I’ve been here for 10 years, and these few things are barely acceptable.
Come, let’s drink! Since it’s my first time meeting Brother Ye, I’ll make an exception and drink a little less.”
Big Gold Tooth said as he opened the maotai, first pouring a glass for Ye Bufan, with a somewhat reluctant expression on his face.
It was evident that he was someone who enjoyed drinking very much, but had been trying hard to control himself.
After a few drinks, the relationship between Big Gold Tooth and Ye Bufan grew a few points closer.
He said, “Brother Ye, Young Miss, when you come here, your big brother must first tell you that safety must always be the top priority.
First of all, never go out at night. It’s simply too chaotic here.”
He Shuangshuang said, “Is the public safety very poor here?”
Due to her profession, she was particularly concerned about this aspect.
“What do you mean by poor public safety? There’s basically no public safety here; it’s incomparable to China.
Murders, robberies, and various violent crimes are happening every moment, and guns are not restricted here. Someone could point a gun at your head at any time.
Although this is the capital, it’s not much better. If you go out at night, you will definitely encounter robberies.
For those robbers, Chinese people are the first choice. Firstly, Chinese people are rich, and secondly, Chinese people like to use cash.”
Although Ye Bufan was introduced by Sima Wei, he didn't think that the seemingly gentle Young man would be very powerful, so he repeatedly urged them to pay attention to safety to prevent accidents.
He Shuangshuang shook her head and said, “Is that really true? It’s simply unimaginable.”
