"I understand!" Hong Tao also deeply agrees, and he can still find a place to reason if he is in a hurry in China, but when he goes to a region like Africa, he really doesn't know who to go to, and does the embassy care about these things?

Everyone followed the black butler through the porch of the small building and two large wooden doors that were very thick, and finally entered the building. Compared with the appearance of some old small buildings, the decoration and arrangement of the buildings surprised Hong Tao even more, he did not expect to see such magnificent buildings on a small island in Africa, the poorest continent in the world.

After entering the gate, there is a hall, which is really called a hall, almost the size of a badminton court, occupying most of the area of the first floor of the small building. This hall is not only large, but also high, its roof is directly the floor of the third floor, that is to say, this hall is formed by the opening of the first floor and the second floor, at the height of the original second floor, there is a circle of corridors.

In addition to being tall, the decoration of the hall is also very fine, almost all the floors, railings, stairs, and handrails are wooden, and even Boss Liu does not know what kind of wood it is, but it looks similar to the color of China's mahogany, only a little lighter.

Overhead, there was a large chandelier almost one story high, and I don't know if it was glass or crystal, but countless transparent pendants hung down from the ceiling one by one, emitting a golden glow.

The walls around the hall are also wooden, the color is a little darker than other places, there are many oil paintings hanging on it, there are people and landscapes, as for whether it is from the hands of celebrities, Hong Tao does not know, his attainments in artworks only stay at the level of knowing that Picasso is an oil painting and that is an ink painting, even if you give him the authentic Picasso, he will think that it is the Xibei goods on the stall, and it is good not to throw it away as waste paper.

What interests Hong Tao the most in the hall is not the decoration materials, nor the big chandelier, nor the oil paintings hanging on the wall. Rather, there was a pair of animal horns standing on the tall fireplace in the innermost part of the hall, and two very, very old rifles perched on the horns.

At first glance, those two guns are not modern products, their barrels are very thick and very long, almost more than one meter and a half. The whole body of the gun is wooden, and many parts are wrapped or inlaid with metal, and those metals are also engraved with many intricate patterns, which are very delicate, the most striking thing is that one of them is inlaid with silver-white metal, and the other is inlaid with brass-colored metal.

"This is Mr. Melba's collection. He currently lives in Europe, and the small building and the surrounding land, as well as part of the beach, are the property of the Melba family. The housekeeper Ali saw that Hong Tao was staring at the two guns as soon as he entered the house, so he came over and whispered to him about the origin of the guns.

"Oh, are the antlers underneath the gun?" Hong Tao was not only interested in guns, but also curious about the pair of big horns.

"It was a pair of antelope horns, which Mr. Melba had hunted when he came to Africa the year before, and it was really a great antelope, and it was rare to see such a large antelope. Mr. Hong didn't go to the island for vacation, did he? Ali spoke proudly about the horns, as if he had hunted them with his own hands. After the last, I didn't forget to set a set of Hongtao's details.

"We came to Africa to hunt, but our guide has not yet arrived, and I heard that this island is very beautiful, so we came here for two days." Hong Tao didn't mind letting others know that he was here to hunt. It's not illegal, there's no need to hide it.

"Oh, alas, Mr. Melba is also obsessed with hunting. Almost every year, he would take his wife and daughter here for a few days, and by the way he would go hunting in the steppes, if you could meet him. It will definitely help you in your hunting, he is a cheetah of the grasslands, and he is even more familiar with the continent than many locals. Ali was very sorry when he heard Hong Tao's answer, and it seemed that his employer was also keen on hunting.

"Jingle bell...... Jingling Ling ...... "Ali is very good at talking, and he has a good grasp of the heat of the conversation, and seeing that there is no trend of development on this topic, he immediately diverted Hong Tao's attention in other ways. He picked up a fist-sized copper bell in his hand at some point, and the timbre was very crisp and sharp when he shook it, and although the sound was not big, it was very penetrating, and it was a bit of a lingering sound in our Chinese words.

With the crisp ringing of the bell, a small door opened in the corner of the hall, and out of it came two black girls in white aprons and white lace hats, both holding an oversized tray with white drinks on it.

"This Nima can't stand outside the door with a plate all day long, right? Or maybe they have particularly sensitive ears? How else could it have come so quickly? Hong Tao drank cold coconut water while watching the backs of the two black girls leaving, and sneered at the same time.

"Mr. Hong, all the luggage has been placed on the second floor, if you don't mind, now I'll take you to see the room, you can see from your clothes, it's definitely not so comfortable on the way." The butler, Ali, was always able to solve the problem before Hong Tao thought of it, and as soon as Hong Tao wanted to ask about the guest room and bathing, he made a low suggestion.

Hong Tao has never been in contact with people with a work nature such as housekeepers, and he has seen a lot of them in movies and television, but it is just to watch the excitement, and he has no personal experience. Now that he has truly experienced the connotation of a housekeeper, it is no wonder that the British aristocracy often hires an old butler for several generations and is unwilling to change it easily, this job is really not something that ordinary people can do well.

From the moment their car arrived in front of the small building, this middle-aged black man named Ali was a respectful but not humble and arrogant posture. Every word he said was not loud in pitch, but it could be heard clearly, and his seemingly gentle eyes were actually very sharp, no matter who had a little movement or expression, he could spot it at the first time.

For example, when he first entered the door, he suddenly approached an Italian girl, whispered something, and then reached out and pointed upstairs, and then the girl went up the stairs quickly. At that time, Hong Tao was looking at the two guns, and did not carefully ponder this detail, but after a while, the Italian girl came down from the stairs again, plunged into the pile of girls and muttered a few times, and two more girls went upstairs.

This time Hong Tao noticed it, and he also understood why the girls went upstairs, people have three urgency, and they went to solve one of them, which is normal. But what is not normal is that the housekeeper can actually find this small detail among so many people, which depends on the fact that he has read countless people with his heart.

But this is nothing, after everyone followed the housekeeper upstairs, his performance surprised Hong Tao again, he actually remembered everyone's name clearly, Hong Tao just said it to him when he got out of the car, and the names of those Italian girls were not even clear to Hong Tao, he only remembered the two who hugged him left and right in the car.

But that's not all, the black butler seems to have deliberately tried to show the guests from afar, how a good butler handles the daily work. He showed a very impressive ability when assigning rooms, he arranged the two Boss Liu into two of the largest and best rooms, those two rooms are suites, and each has a large balcony, there are coffee tables, recliners and parasols on the balcony, and the snow-white sand and blue water are not far below the balcony.

Although Hong Tao's room is also a suite, the balcony is not so big, there is only a recliner on it, and there is not even a parasol, fortunately, it is also facing the beach, which is slightly worse than Boss Liu's room.

The room of the remaining five Italian girls was lowered by one level, although the specifications of the room were the same as Hong Tao's, but the orientation was not very good, and the balcony was not under the sea, but a grass and forest on the side of the building.

It can be seen from the arrangement of the room that the housekeeper is very clear about who is important and who is not important in this group of people. For this question, Hong Tao dared to swear to the lamp, he had never said it, even when introducing Boss Liu and Fat Boss, he used the word companion, but where did this housekeeper see it?
