Chapter 937: Tables and Chairs
"Oh, it's raining, it's raining!" Soon, the sound of the engine came from the cabin, and Paris actually started the diesel engine. Then she dragged a hose out of the cabin, turned on the faucet, and spewed a stream of water from it. It was fresh water pumped up from the freshwater tank by an electric pump, and it was all used by her when it rained.
So the mesh bed on the foredeck became a naturist beach, and both the big girls and the little girls stripped themselves and bounced in the artificial rain. If you count from the time you find that the seawater filter membrane has failed, this is the first rain you have seen in half a month. Of course, Hong Tao is not polite, he not only has to strip naked, but also take soap and wipe it around, make everyone into a foam ball, and then brush it one by one with a bristle brush, and finally rinse it one by one with a water hose, his nose finally no longer has to pretend to be deaf!
In the evening, Hong Tao saw the famous Cape of Good Hope lighthouse in the telescope. When the sailboat turned the headland where the lighthouse was located, it suddenly became clear that in the depths of a wide bay, there was a city full of high-rise buildings. But that's not all, the closest thing to a miracle is the background of the city, a huge mountain with a square circumference, straight up and down, and the top looks like it has been cut by a knife. It was now reflected in the dark red of the setting sun, like a screen for the whole city, and also like a huge tree stump, and the tall buildings in the city were like a small mushroom growing from the stump.
"Do you know what this mountain is called?" While the crew was busy taking pictures, Hong Tao planned to give everyone a vivid geography lesson, otherwise it would not show his erudition.
"Table Mountain!" Nicole grew more and more annoying, Hong Tao thought after hearing her answer.
“…… And what about this bay?" he wasn't quite reconciled, what if this Nicole was blinded?
"Table Bay...... Hahaha...... Richie brought me here. I can be everyone's tour guide, free of charge...... But the captain has to pay!" Nicole is carrying Hong Tao today. Don't give a little face.
After getting along with Hong Tao for a long time, the three girls all found out. This seemingly cold, ruthless, rough, and selfish guy is actually just pretending, or rather has a hard shell on the outside. When you get acquainted with him and get into this hard shell, he is actually quite weak, very gentle, very kind, very enthusiastic inside, a bit like an egg. So the three girls slowly became not afraid of him, not only were they not afraid, but they also tried to torture him in different ways. Whatever he likes, everyone opposes, and whatever he opposes. Everyone supported him, put him on the verge of going berserk every day, and then enjoyed the gritted teeth expression on his face together.
Now Hong Tao's torture is no longer a simple waterboarding, because their water nature is about to catch up with the fishermen, thrown into the sea more than a dozen times, and it is still irrelevant to pull it up, but it is tired of Hong Tao's own sweat. He pondered another way, which was to tickle, which was his original nirvana against Sister Han Xue and Tan Jing. Every sacrifice will definitely work, and all of them will scratch the enemy and kowtow and beg for mercy.
But he miscalculated again, although the three of Paris and the others are also afraid of itching, they are more ** to males. You ignore them, they still rub against you, you press them to tickle? The three girls are tired of being around you collectively, and they are still scratching their ass. So this punishment system has become an entertainment activity, not Hong Tao chasing them to punish. It turned into the three of them chasing Hong Tao and demanding punishment, and the captain's majesty was gone.
"Second goods...... Prepare to dock. A group of stinky guys, who wants to take care of you!" Hong Tao let Nicole get a big nest neck, and involuntarily began to curse in Chinese.
"You're cursing again!You must be punished!It's your own rules!" Who knew that before the words fell, Nikki jumped out again. She is very talented in language, Hong Tao only learned a few words of French, but she has learned a lot of Chinese, and now she can have a simple Chinese conversation with Hong Tao. In addition to the poor grammar, she still has a lot of vocabulary, at least she can remember what Hong Tao often says.
"Alright, alright, let's dock first...... Then when I got to the hotel, I carried out the ...... "Hong Tao's mouth is bitter, this is called lifting a stone and hitting his own feet." The rules were all formulated by him, and he just wanted the three of them to keep talking dirty, and he didn't think so far. Who would have thought that since beating Nikki and they began to learn Chinese, it was himself who was punished the most because of this rule, and he often involuntarily came up with a half-sentence of spoken words, basically all swearing.
"Hmph, Nikki, write him down in a little book, he's very forgetful!" Paris is not far behind, she is the most active in dealing with Hong Tao.
With Table Mountain in its back and Table Bay in front of it, Cape Town is a place to sit between two tables. In fact, everyone is mistaken, Hong Tao and Nicole are not all right, it's just that these two are two geographical knives, and no one heard it. When they entered the so-called Table Bay, they found that the port of Cape Town was not in this bay, and according to the radio instructions of the port, they had passed by Table Bay, which was on the west coast of Africa, and if you looked at it from Hong Tao's current point of view, it should be behind the big red table. And the urban area you see now is not the urban area of Cape Town, but the suburbs, and the real urban area is hidden behind the big table.
"Hey, hey, hey...... I've been here with my adoptive father...... Nicole, do you need to live in one place for more than half a year to not get lost? It doesn't matter, there is no shame in getting lost, most women are road idiots, you are much better than them, and you can calculate the route by looking at the charts. But in the future, when the captain speaks, it is better to keep your mouth shut, and not to be so unrestrained as some people are. By the way, I will teach you a Chinese proverb, one bottle is not satisfied, and half a bottle is slamming!"
It is definitely not suitable to re-open back to Table Bay, and the hundreds of kilometers of waterway can simply find a small port to dock in this called Fars Bay. Cape Town is also an important stop in Hong Tao's plan, so there is also a local lawyer waiting for him, just a phone call and ask him to hire a car to pull him. But at this time, Hong Tao's mouth couldn't be idle, he finally found a chance to fight back, and he had to spray enough at once!
After an hour and a half, the lawyer, Lenbos, finally arrived, an old white man with three cars and four black drivers. The crew was very enthusiastic when they saw him, and took turns to go up and give him a big hug, which made the old man a little confused. In fact, the crew was not welcoming his arrival, but thanking him for freeing everyone from Hong Tao's speech...... The sun is hiding!
"Hear me, I'm not lying, I've been here before, and I'm staying at the Table Mountain Hotel!, sir, we're going to face Table Mountain's room, not Table Bay!" Nicole came back to life when Lenbos told Sù Hongtao the name of the hotel he was going to be staying in, still trying to prove that she had indeed been to Cape Town.
"......," the old man looked at Hong Tao suspiciously.
"If you've been at sea for a long time and want to see more land, just listen to her. "This time, Hong Tao didn't do it against Nicole, he was a little tired of looking at the sea, so it's good to look at the mountains more and change his mind.
The Table Mountain Hotel (borrowed here, in fact, this hotel was only built in 1997) is the most luxurious hotel in Cape Town, built right next to Table Bay Harbour, 100% surrounded by mountains and water, and the area is very large, the main building is surrounded by palm trees and gardens, and the style is very good.
Unfortunately, everyone was a little dizzy, and their physical condition was also very tired, so they didn't even eat dinner, so they rushed into the room and went to sleep. Only Hong Tao barely lifted his spirits, chatted with Lenbos lawyer in the hotel café for a while, went upstairs to change into slightly more formal clothes, and then went to the sea-view restaurant on the second floor. He must now complete his mission, the Global Cloth Project is also an important stop in Cape Town, if Lily is a pale chocolate, then the one who comes to the restaurant to meet him for a moment is a piece of dark chocolate, since there is no chance to taste it in West Africa, he must not let go of it in South Africa!
The first two days of his arrival in Cape Town were very busy, not only did he have to complete his plans, but he also had to work with ESPN Sports TV to shoot the show. The director of the television network specially designed a series of tours of Cape Town, which took two days to shoot, in addition to Table Mountain, he also had to go to Swatland and Elephant Valley in the Cape wine country to act as a wine connoisseur, to see the mansion of the Dutch East Indies Governor at the Fort of Good Hope, to see the prison where Mandela was originally held, and to participate in the opening round of a new golf course in the high-end residential area of Cape......
Anyway, it's non-stop, it's more hurried than when Hong Tao led the tour group, and he has to run three or four scenic spots a day, not only to visit, but also to shoot from the perspective arranged by the director. When the last shot was finished, Hong Tao had the heart to quickly run back to the sailboat, he would rather face the sea than let people be at the mercy of puppets.
But he was the only one who thought like this, and now he felt a little betrayal. The 5 crew members, including Lada and Lily, like to show themselves in front of the camera, and they are more active and serious about the director's requirements than obeying Hong Tao's orders, for fear that even one of them will be missing from the show. The director is also a grandson, and he soon discovered that Hong Tao was more tolerant of these women, so once Hong Tao wanted to pick and choose, he instigated 5 crew members to fight for Hong Tao, and it was Hong Tao who failed in the end.
