Chapter 375: The drunkard's intention is not to drink
Although it can make a lot of money from tourism, the island is still very poor from the dilapidated mud houses on the roadside and the ragged poor people everywhere. The port area is a bit more passable, mainly because it is a city and many of the hotels dedicated to foreign tourists are built there, while the inland is relatively more backward.
Aside from the economic problems, the scenery of the island is still very good, and the roadside is full of various coconut trees, banana trees and baobab trees. Because the appearance of the coconut on the tree is very different, some are bigger than a human head, and some are only the size of a palm, and they are like grapes on the tree, hanging and purring.
"Hassan, are these things coconuts too? How is it so small? "It's not that the author is lazy, there are countless Hassan in Africa, especially in the countries that believe in Islam, 80% of the adult men are named Hassan, and I don't know what they do when they write letters.
"Oh, this is a small coconut, this can't be eaten, it's squeezed oil, coconut oil can be cooked, and women can also rub it on their hair, it's very good." Hassan has good driving skills and can use various gestures to make up for his lack of English while driving.
There were not many cars on the road, and Hong Tao and his big Mercedes soon arrived at the northern end of the island, where the scenery is very pristine, and the seaside is full of piles of thatched houses. This is the name of the fat boss, and according to the locals, it should be called a treehouse.
The treehouse is not built on a tree, but on a wooden shelf, like the bamboo building of the Dai people in our country. The bottom floor is usually empty, or there are items such as generators and boats, and there are no walls, only a few wooden pillars, which cannot be inhabited.
The first floor is 2 or 3 meters high from the ground, and the floor is made of wood.
Some treehouses also have a second floor. There are no walls, but there is an extra fence, which is similar to our balcony, where you can sit and watch the sea view, blow the sea breeze or eat or something.
The top is the roof, in fact, the fat boss is right, this is really a thatched house, but instead of using thatch to cover the roof, it is covered with banana tree leaves bundled into a handful to form a pointed roof.
Hong Tao was very interested in these houses full of primitive flavors, but it was not the tree houses that dazzled him the most. It's the sea in front of you.
Hong Tao has never seen this color of the sea, it says blue is not blue, green is not green, from the shore to the end of the eye, divided into many layers of color, like a big gem, both crystal clear and very textured.
Another thing that surprised Hong Tao is that it is no longer the domain of locals, whether it is a treehouse by the sea or a hotel a little further from the sea, it is basically run by Italians, if you are thrown off the plane. If you don't tell you where it is, most people will think that this is some seaside in the Mediterranean Sea and not that it is the Indian Ocean.
"I'm X, just rush this sea water, even if it's not in vain......" The fat boss who was in a state of nerdity along the way suddenly cheered up at this time, and clicked 360 degrees with the camera. From time to time, various exclamations came out of his mouth.
"Fat uncle, you don't seem to be fascinated by the seawater, there is no seawater over there, there are a few bare-ass girls. Be careful, if your boyfriend gets jealous, he might come and beat you up. Our little physique can't beat the bunch of raw meat from snacks. At first, Hong Tao really thought that the fat boss's cultivation had improved, and a belly of male thieves and female prostitutes was washed by the beautiful scenery here, but if you pay a little attention, you will find that the fat boss's camera is not taking pictures of the sea at all, but chasing those beauties who are playing on the beach.
", hurry up and find a house, we'll live here today, I have to take a good bubble in Shanghai." Let a junior expose his dirty thoughts, the fat boss's face changed color and his heart did not beat, and he actually got off the donkey like this, it seems that he has to meet sincerely to enjoy it.
"What kind of house are you looking for? Our room over there hasn't been retreated, let's go back to live at night, more than 100 dollars a day, what a waste, it's not far from here, just drive for a while. "Hong Tao is reluctant to rent a treehouse anymore, and it is shameful to waste it.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll pay for the room, I think it's good in that room, you go quickly, and by the way, ask if you have bought swim trunks." The fat boss pointed to the nearest and tallest tree house near the sea in front, and even pushed Hong Tao out of the co-pilot's seat.
Don't look at a few thatched houses, this price is more expensive than living in a hotel, Hong Tao and the Italian lady spent a long time, not a penny down, but got a promise, that is, the generator can be used open, bath water is no longer restricted.
"I call you Italian fairy board! There is no water, no electricity, a broken grass house, you dare to charge money from a five-star hotel, you deserve to grow a fat husband and dump you and run away! Hong Tao cursed the fat middle-aged Italian woman in Chinese while paying, as for whether her husband dumped her and ran away, this Hong Tao did not care, the curse is to be ruthless, not running now does not mean not running in the future.
In fact, this treehouse is not too expensive, upstairs and downstairs several rooms also have a large terrace, and the proprietress also chartered Hong Tao and the four of them 3 meals. After all, this is a tourist area, and it also has the name of the most beautiful beach in the world, if you put this scenery and this name on Hainan Island, it is estimated that these hundreds of dollars will not even be able to take a standard room.
This treehouse is not only a treehouse, but also a small courtyard, which is so close to the beach that you can throw an apple from the yard and almost fall into the sea. The ground of the yard is covered with short grass, and there are a few thick coconut trees, and there are two large hammocks hanging between the trunks.
I don't know if the fat Italian lady was because she succeeded in stealing customers, or because she was very kind because she met the fat boss, a big fat man from an exotic country, anyway, after Hong Tao and they checked into the tree house, she served everyone a plate of fried prawns, with French fries, a few slices of onions and fruit, coconut milk and beer.
"China Mao, this price is not expensive, the tree house here not only provides accommodation, but also provides boats to take you to the coral reef to dive, and the beach in front of the tree house is the best, there is a special person responsible for cleaning and cleaning every day, and there are lifeguards to protect the sea when swimming, and there is no such treatment in other places." The black guy is with the right person this time, not only do you not have to walk with the tour guide, but also eat and drink, so the service to Hong Tao is also very thoughtful, when he saw that Hong Tao was a little distressed because of the price problem, he immediately gave Hong Tao a relief pill from another angle, the name of China Mao was given to Hong Tao, he read the pronunciation of Hong and mixed it clearly, so he simply read the word Mao, this word he is more familiar with.
"This shrimp tastes really good, it's quite fresh, by the way, Hong Tao, the swimming trunks are done, the broken car you rented has no air conditioning, but it's hot to death, I have to go into the water to swim for a while." The fat boss swept away his plate of shrimp with three mouthfuls and two mouthfuls, and his eyes did not leave the white flesh on the beach when he ate.
"The proprietress asked if you needed to add another plate." The swim trunks proprietress sold them wherever they went, and Hong Tao deliberately dragged them out and didn't tell him.
"Don't add it, don't add it, by the way, this shrimp tastes good, now I'm not too hungry, you discuss it with the proprietress and discuss, let's eat shrimp at noon." You're a heart, aren't you? I told you about swim trunks and you told me to eat shrimp, you think I can't buy swim trunks myself, right? Isn't there a cart stall on the beach, you think I didn't see it! I used to throw in a random $100 and he could get me to wear every pair of swim trunks once, believe it or not! "The fat boss is not stupid, he has already seen a stall selling things on the beach, but he doesn't understand the language, and it is a bit difficult to buy things. (To be continued......)
