Alisa nodded: "Of course, don't underestimate Haiti, the country with the most millionaires in Latin America."
In fact, this hotel belongs to the service of the wealthy area, otherwise how could there be electricity and hot water 24 hours a day?
It's unthinkable in the city!
We have only six hours of electricity a day in Haiti's urban areas.
Running water is not available. ” "Is this the country with the most millionaires?"
Xiao Peng's eyes widened, if that's the case, the gap between the rich and the poor in Haiti is too big, right?
Alyssa smiled wryly: "Although more than 60 people in Haiti are poor, it is also the country with the richest people.
The gap between the rich and the poor is huge, and you can understand it when you go to the rich area. ” Xiao Peng looked out the window: "It's so chaotic in the city now, the rich area shouldn't be safe, right?"
” Alyssa was also stunned after hearing this, and came back to her senses after a while: "Mr.
Xiao, you misunderstood, in our Haiti, the poor live by the sea, and the rich live on the mountains.
The largest affluent area in Port-au-Prince is here, and you can see it when you go out and walk up the hill!
” "Alright, let's go check it out!"
Xiao Peng picked up his coat and prepared to take a look.
"Well, Mr.
Xiao, you'd better make some preparations before you go!"
Alyssa stopped Xiao Peng and the others. 。。。。。。。
"It's really a rich area."
Yang Meng sighed: "How can ordinary people live here." ” The four of them were in a supermarket called 'Galloby'.
He was accompanied by three heavily armed bodyguards.
Just like that, he entered the supermarket with a submachine gun.
I knew that I was here to shop, but I didn't know that I thought I was here to rob.
However, Xiao Peng found a problem, the people who come here to shop are generally this virtue, and they are followed by the bodyguards of the submachine gun, or they simply come with their guns in their hands.
This is what Alyssa strongly recommends, a pickup truck with three bodyguards and five hundred dollars a day.
Xiao Peng didn't want it, but considering that having them could reduce a lot of trouble, Xiao Peng finally hired them.
Xiao Peng and Yang Meng were still shocked, after all, they have been to many places that are as chaotic as here, but 'No. 1' and 'No. 2' are not good, they have never left Cuba, the security there is so good, when have you ever seen such a situation?
Even if they are young and vigorous, it is as common as carrying a gun as if they were carrying a wallet here, which can make them nervous, but seeing Xiao Peng and Yang Meng's indifferent looks, they are a little relieved.
In other words, this supermarket is rich in materials, at least much more than in Cuba, everything is available, and even European and American luxury brands can be found here.
However, except for the fact that the price of luxury goods is slightly lower than that in China, the price of other things can only be described as nonsense!
Especially the price of vegetables and fruits------ eating vegetables and fruits here is definitely something that only rich people can do!
All the goods here are priced in 'Haitian dollars', but in Haiti there is no such thing as 'Haitian dollars', and the currency they use is called 'gourdes', and the so-called 'Haitian dollars' are virtual currencies.
This country can't even afford to issue a regular currency!
The ratio of the 'Haitian dollar' to the renminbi is about 1:1, while the ratio of the gourde to the Haitian dollar is 5:1.
How high is the price of fruit here?
two eggplants for eight more Haitian dollars; 30 pieces in a box of grapes; 30 pieces of green peppers the size of a fist; a small kiwi with eight pieces; Eighty pieces for three apples!
Who can afford this Nima in a country with an average annual income of $500?
Xiao Peng's bodyguards are still very conscientious: urging Xiao Peng to leave quickly again and again.
It turns out that people who go to the supermarket here are often targeted by gangsters.
The poorer the place, the more gangs there are, this seems to be a theorem, but the gangs here are all armed with guns。。。。。
Coming out of the supermarket, Xiao Peng and his party entered the rich area.
It's almost as Xiao Peng imagined, these are all villas built on the mountain, but there are high walls at the door, and you can't see the lives of the people inside.
However, Xiao Peng and others found an interesting place, that is, there are many little girls here, that is, they are in their teens.
Forehead.
It is absolutely not that they are beautiful, but they are all very thin, but they have big bellies, as if they are pregnant.
"Moore, are these children pregnant?"
Xiao Peng was puzzled and asked the bodyguard named Moore next to him.

Moore showed a wry smile: "Mr.
Xiao, in fact, in Haiti, not only children are like this, but also many adults are like this, with big bellies. ” "Why is that?"
Yang Meng was also curious.
Moore didn't answer him, but ran to the little girls and said something to the little girls, and finally he gave one of the little girls a few gourdes, and the little girls carefully took out a piece of bread from their pockets and handed it to 'Goode', and Moore came back and handed the cake to Xiao Peng: "In this case, they eat this thing!"
” Xiao Peng took the 'cake' and stopped speaking for an instant.
Yang Meng and the others were curious, so they came over to take a look, and Xiao Peng directly handed them the 'cake' in his hand and asked them to take a look.
Yang Meng took a look at it and sighed directly: ", they all say that the poor eat soil, but here is really special to eat soil!"
"The 'bread' that Moore got back was made of clay!
Moore explains: "Boss, this cake is made from the soil of the central highlands of Haiti.
At the earliest, it was a natural antacid for pregnant women and children in Haiti, and it can also supplement the calcium needed by the human body.
But with prices soaring in Haiti, the magnitude is far beyond what ordinary people can afford.
The price of this food has skyrocketed, and many people are starting to lose food, so in Haiti, many people mix this loess with salt and shortening, and the dried bread is the staple food of the poor here for three meals a day.
Mr.
Xiao, you can taste it, it has a creamy and salty taste, and the taste is still good, but I always have a stomachache after eating.
It's a pity that it has been raining continuously for the past few days, and this kind of cake is the best when it has just been sun-dried.
After speaking, seeing Xiao Peng's disbelief, he broke off a piece and put it in his mouth and ate it in two bites.
Xiao Peng and the others looked at each other.
Although these 'No. 1' and 'No. 2' are a little poorer in Cuba, they are not to the point of eating dirt!
Soaring oil prices have led to higher costs for fertilizers, irrigation and transportation, which has led to an increase in food prices worldwide.
The growing global demand for biofuels is adding fuel to the fire, putting unprecedented pressure on the food market.
This is especially true in the Caribbean.
Like the country of Haiti, nicknamed the 'country of a thousand hills', the whole country is a variety of mountainous areas, not suitable for growing crops, so most of the food here is dependent on imports, due to soaring prices, the food here has risen by more than 50, especially Haiti has suffered many disasters in recent years, first the 2000 earthquake caused the whole country to suffer a catastrophe, the 2007 floods and the annual hurricane season have caused a devastating blow to the local harvest.
Now in a market in the slums of Haiti's salt lake, two cups of rice are sold for a dollar!
Even this yellow mud cake has to be a 'gude' one, and in the original, one 'gude' can buy two yellow mud cakes.
And the effect of this yellow mud cake on the human body is undoubted, there are deadly parasites and toxins in it, and it is difficult to digest.
People who have eaten this kind of yellow mud cake for a long time are like the little girl here, who is very thin and has a bulging belly, which is just like the Chinese people were very hungry and ate 'Guanyin soil' is a truth!
'No. 1' sighed: "I always thought that our Cuban life was the most miserable, but I didn't expect that in such a comparison, our Cuban people are already living very happily!"
” Xiao Peng nodded: "Happiness needs to be compared."
Don't look at how those rich people live all day long, if you look at them every day, you won't be able to live your life!
Moore, isn't this a rich area?
Why are there so many little girls?
It doesn't look like the child of a rich family!
” Before Moore could answer him, he saw a black man come over and slap a little girl in the face, how old the little girl was, and the slap was full of blood!
"You're lazy again!
Don't you want to live?
The man scolded angrily after the beating, and after saying that, he raised his foot and kicked the girl, and the little girl had a look of fear on her face.
But the man didn't kick it down.
Instead, he screamed and covered his feet and lay on the ground.
I saw a big nail stuck in his foot.
Needless to say, this must be Xiao Peng's handiwork.
"Beat!"
Xiao Peng said a word lightly.
In fact, there is no need for him to say this, from the time when the guy raised his foot just now, 'No. 1' and 'No. 2' had already rushed over, but Xiao Peng's nails were faster.
Before Moore and the other bodyguards could come to their senses, they saw the two brothers punching and kicking the black man on the ground.
By the time several bodyguards came to their senses, the man on the ground was unconscious.

Moore looked frightened: "Mr.
Xiao, you are in trouble!"
” "What do you mean?"
Xiao Peng was puzzled and asked, "Is it reasonable to bully a little girl on the street?"
Wait, this isn't his daughter, is it?
How can you put such a heavy hand on your daughter?
” Moore shook his head: "Mr.
Xiao, let's go."
It can't stay any longer.
Otherwise, there will be a big - numb - annoyance, although this girl is not his daughter, but at first glance it is a 'foster girl'.
This is a bit more troublesome. ” "Foster girls?"
Xiao Peng heard another new term.
Moore nodded: "Mr.
Xiao, this is not the place to talk, let's go back and talk about it, okay?"
Lawson, drive!
” In fact, there is no need for him to say it, the bodyguard named Lawson has already run to the pickup truck and started the car, telling Xiao Peng and them to get in the car and leave quickly.
Listening to the advice of people to eat a full meal, although Xiao Peng was not afraid of them, but thinking that there might be a lot of trouble later, Xiao Peng and Yang Meng still got into the car, but the 'No. 2' couldn't come up.
"Two, what are you doing?
Come on!
Xiao Peng greeted.
As a result, No. 2 smiled bitterly: "Mr.
Xiao, what should I do if you see this situation?"
” Xiao Peng turned his head and looked, hey, the little girl who was beaten just now was holding his leg there to prevent No. 2 from leaving.
At the same time, they are also shouting for people to come.
Xiao Peng was speechless now, what is this girl going to do?
People beat you and help you get angry, why are you still holding No. 2's leg?
"Mr.
Xiao, it's not that this girl will take revenge, it's really that if she lets you go like this, she will be unlucky, wait for me to help knock her out."
Moore was about to get out of the car.
Xiao Peng was speechless when he heard it, can you do it with such a young child?
"Number two, cover her mouth and take her away!"
Xiao Peng shouted!
"Okay!"
'No. 2' was a little happy to hear this, and happily carried the little girl back and climbed into the back compartment.
The girl didn't struggle either, didn't scream.
Isn't this a routine?
Lawson drove to the hotel, and Xiao Peng took a circle of cigars and asked, "Moore, what the hell is going on?"
What is a foster girl?
” Moore sniffed the cigar, but instead of lighting it, he carefully put it in his pocket.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it and said slowly: "Mr.
Xiao, this foster girl is called 'left behind' in our local dialect, and she is usually recruited from the lowest level of society, and some poor people cannot afford to raise their children or send them to rich families to work in order to let their children live."
Most of these children are girls.
So it's called foster girls, which are actually domestic servants who are hired for free, and we in Haiti have at least hundreds of thousands of such children. ” After hearing this, Xiao Peng wondered: "Isn't this special slavery?"
” Moore nodded: "This is our unique Haitian 'foster child slave' child labor system, and now the countries with the most serious slavery system in the world are Mauritania and Haiti.
Anti-slavery is difficult to carry out in Haiti, and it has become a custom.

Poor families usually send their children to the homes of the rich to 'work instead of support'.
It's okay to meet a good employer, but if you meet a bad employer, you will either be beaten or forced. ” "You know a lot!"
Xiao Peng said after listening.
Moore took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "I, Moore, and Goru, all three of us turned out to be foster child slaves.
Working for a drug dealer who has broken an unknown number of whips in order to educate us.
But the funny thing is that we learn from him the means of eating now.
Mr.
Xiao, if you can speak for the foster child slaves, I will worship you from the bottom of my heart, you are a kind person!
But you'd better get out of here as soon as possible, the people who can live here are our Haitian magnates, and if they want to do anything, it's really a troublesome thing, and it's not good for you.
So, what else is wrong with you?
We'll leave after we've done it for you. ” Xiao Peng nodded, and suddenly asked, "What are your means of eating now?"
What does it mean?
” "Oh, English, shoot!"
