Walking out of the building, Gao Jing was surprised to find that the Ahan boy from before had not left.
He ran towards Gao Jing and said enthusiastically: "Do you need me to take you back?"
Gao Jing smiled: "Okay."
In fact, even if he didn't understand the language and was in such a dangerous place, Gao Jing was fully capable of returning to the hotel by himself.
But he was quite happy to see this little guy again.
At least his good intentions were not betrayed.
Following the young man, Gao Jing left the market area and stopped a tricycle on the roadside to return to the hotel.
By the time we got to the hotel door, it was already noon.
After getting out of the car, Gao Jing asked the boy: "Is there anything delicious here?"
The boy Ahan pointed to the right and replied: "There is a restaurant there that makes delicious shulbao, as well as mutton pilaf, roast beef and grilled fish."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his stomach growled.
Gao Jing smiled: "Let's go, I'll invite you to eat together."
Ahan boy was surprised: "Thank you, sir!"
The local restaurant he recommended is only two to three hundred meters away from the hotel. The security situation here is the best in Kabul, so there are many people and good business.
Gao Jing and the boy were lucky. When they arrived, someone had just finished eating and a table was available. Otherwise, they would have had to wait outside.
After sitting down, Gao Jing ordered all the delicacies recommended by the other party.
While waiting for the food to be served, Gao Jing sipped Ahan's special milk tea and chatted with the young man sitting opposite.
Through conversation, we learned that the boy’s name was Ajad and he was just 13 years old this year.
Ajad is not a native of Kabul. He originally lived in a village a hundred kilometers away from Kabul.
Ajad's father used to be a teacher. He has learned English from his father since he was a child, hoping to one day leave this desperate country.
But just last year, Ajad's father died in an accident, and he was forced to come to Kabul alone to make a living.
"Without Gassani's help, I would not be alive today."
Ajad said: "He is a good man and all the money he earns is used to help us poor people."
Gao Ding nodded.
The light shrouding Gassani's body proved that what the young man said was true.
He is more confident in this transaction.
When Gao Jing came to Kabul to buy weapons and equipment, the biggest problem he faced was trust.
Because those really big sellers only trust customers they are familiar with, they must be extremely wary of strangers, and seeing that they are alone, the probability of being cheated is very high.
Gao Jing is not afraid of taking advantage of others, but he is here to buy things, not to fish.
Gao Jing feels quite lucky to have met a seller like Gassani.
At this time, Shuerbao and finger rice were served.
Shulbao is a special delicacy of Ahan. This local famous dish is made by stewing the chopped mutton and seasonings in a casserole until almost cooked, then adding carrots, lentils, raisins, coriander, tomatoes, etc.
Cook over low heat until fully cooked.
The shulbao must be processed in advance in the restaurant, so it is served very quickly.
Gao Ding ordered two portions, and Ajad and I each had one portion.
He tasted it and felt that the taste was quite good, especially the mutton which was very tender and delicious.
In addition, hand-picked rice, grilled fish and fruit salad are also available. Being able to eat these meals in a place like this makes Gao Jing quite satisfied.
After finishing the lunch, Gao Jing paid for the meal and then said goodbye to Ajad.
If nothing unexpected happens, after completing the deal with Gassani, he will leave Kabul and return to the country.
In the evening, Gao Jing received a call from Gassani in the hotel.
On the weapons and equipment purchase list listed by Gao Jing, except for landmines and C4, Gassani can obtain all the other weapons and equipment and provide them to him at preferential prices.
As compensation, Gassani can provide Gao Jing with another 107 rocket launcher!
The 107 rocket launcher, RPG7 and AK47 are regarded as the three magic weapons of the guerrillas. They have quite outstanding actual combat records, and Gao Jing has also been famous for a long time.
Of course he was very satisfied to be able to obtain such a powerful weapon.
The transaction took place three days later at a steelmaking plant dozens of kilometers away from downtown Kabul.
So Gao Jing stayed in the hotel for another three days.
On the agreed date, he left the hotel and drove the tattered Hummer off-road vehicle to the transaction location according to the location coordinates provided by Gassani.
After leaving the urban area of Kabul, all he could see was desolation and ruins. Gao Jing sped up and reached his destination in just over half an hour.
This steelmaking plant is quite large, but unfortunately it has been destroyed by the war. The factory area is full of ruins and scrap iron residues. Only a solitary blast furnace bears witness to its glorious past.
Right next to this heavily rusted blast furnace, Gao Jing saw a cargo truck and three off-road vehicles.
and armed personnel scattered around on guard.
The Hummer he was driving was stopped by armed men before he even got close.
Gao Jing got off the car and went through another body search before he was able to walk in front of Gassani.
"terribly sorry."
Gassani said apologetically to Gao Jing: "I've been in a lot of trouble lately, so I have to be careful."
Gao Jing expressed his understanding: "It doesn't matter."
He handed the box in his hand to the other party: "This is the balance, please count it."
Gassani motioned to his men to take the suitcase handed over by Gao Jing, and waved to the truck behind him.
The armed men guarding the truck immediately removed the tarpaulin covering it.
The truck was loaded with weapons, with ammunition boxes stacked high, and a 107 rocket launcher in the middle.
Gassani said: "All the goods you want are here."
Gao Jing smiled, feeling somewhat excited.
These weapons and equipment are enough for him to use for a long time, and can also greatly improve his combat effectiveness in the big world.
At this time, Gassani's men checked the banknotes in the suitcase and nodded to Gassani.
“A pleasure to work with.”
The old man smiled and extended his hand to Gao Jing.
Just as Gao Jing and his hands were holding each other's hands, suddenly an armed man hurried over and shouted a few words anxiously that Gao Jing could not understand.
Gassani's expression suddenly changed and he let go of Gao Jing's hand.
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense. Several armed men immediately raised their weapons, and the black muzzles of their guns were almost pressed against Gao Jing's head.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the helicopter's rotor came from far and near.
Gassani took two steps back.
The old man said to Gao Jing meaningfully: "Mr. Qiao Ande, I'm afraid we are both in trouble now."
