Chapter 446: The Beach Child King
"What are you doing here? No tipping here! Pan didn't understand Hong Tao's actions 100 percent and was a little angry.
"When you get to Beijing, I'll explain it to you, this issue is very complicated, and I can't explain it clearly." Hong Tao didn't talk nonsense this time, his tip was not to pity the women, nor to fill the head, but to affirm their honest quality, whether they were aware of the problem or not.
"Well, I hope you can convince me." Pan is not a person who likes to be more serious, although he is puzzled in his heart, but he can still put aside the controversy for the time being.
In addition to some potatoes, tomatoes, onions and seafood, Boss Liu also bought a handful of bananas and a tulu of tropical fruits. Because you don't have to pack things in plastic bags, whatever it is, it's going to be tied to you in a big bunch with a very flexible seaweed.
"Isn't that enough? The variety is a bit small, and there is a lack of spices, can you buy them here? Hong Tao didn't see any large department stores or supermarkets along the way, and he was a little worried about the seasoning.
"Those things can be provided by hotels, and it is difficult for us tourists to buy the right products in the market, which is more backward and poorer than East Africa." Pan hung a large bunch of seafood around Hong Tao's neck, and then hung another bunch around his neck, regardless of whether the two of them would get dirty or not, and rode away on the motorcycle.
When she got back to the hotel, Pan blasted Hong Tao out of the room, and she closed the door alone to tinker with the ingredients. And inform Hong Tao: The dinner will officially start at 7 o'clock in the evening, neither late nor early!
"It's so mysterious to cook a meal, it won't be that you can't do it, let the hotel chef help you make it!" Hong Tao looked at his watch, it was just less than 3 o'clock, and there were still 4 hours before the time to eat, so he simply took the fat boss and Boss Liu to the beach to walk around, anyway, they couldn't go far.
"Hey, don't be too dark when you eat steamed buns for nothing, as long as you don't have to do it. You should applaud. Be kind! "The fat boss can think about it, as long as he doesn't let him work, everything is fine.
The beach in front of the hotel is privately owned by the hotel and no outsiders are allowed to enter it except for the hotel's guests. Although there are no fences or other occlusions on either side. But there are big signs on the beaches on both sides. The people here are also self-conscious. Although the beach in front of the hotel is of the best quality. And the beach is mostly deserted except for a few sun loungers and umbrellas, but locals and other tourists don't take half a step across the pond.
"Fat uncle, don't step on it. You see that this sandy land is full of small eyes, maybe there are some bugs hiding in it, and I will give you a bite if it is not cold! Hong Tao sat on the recliner and didn't do anything, he suddenly found that the beach here was a little different, there were many small holes on it, and he began to make fun of the fat boss.
"You can't fool me about this, this is Crab Mountain, your uncle I have seen it on the beach in Zhejiang, it is denser than this, I don't believe you dig and dig to see, there must be a small crab in it and a shell on its back." Hong Tao kicked the iron plate this time, and the fat boss had actually seen this thing.
"Hey, that's true! It's a hermit crab, so how many of them must be on this beach? "Hong Tao belongs to the kind of person who sees is believing, and he is skeptical if he doesn't see what you say with his own eyes, but this time the fat boss is really right, when he dug dozens of centimeters from a small hole to the bottom, he really dug out a small crab with a snail shell on his back.
"I said it's not interesting for us to sit here, you see there are so many people on the beach on both sides, let's be quiet here, won't we become animals in the zoo? Why don't we go over there and join in the fun? "Boss Pan is born cheap, he is annoying when there are many people, and he is idle and boring when there are fewer people.
"Let's go, go over and have a look, there's a local kid playing football over there, let's add another stick!" Boss Liu didn't want to sit alone on the beach as an exhibit, so he pointed to the group of children playing football on the beach on the right and walked over.
It is estimated that it should be a local child, about a dozen or so, not very old, around 10 years old. All of them were wearing shorts and bare feet, and they were playing soccer on the beach in two groups.
Hong Tao doesn't know French, let alone the local language, but he also knows a lingua franca in the world: metaphor!
With a few simple gestures and kicking movements, the group of children knew what the three adults wanted to do. The people were very enthusiastic, and immediately reassigned the team, and let Hong Tao have one more people, and the game started again!
Hong Tao also played football when he went to school, and he often went to the training ground of the Sports Committee of the Temple of Earth and the Temple of Heaven, and he generally played as a defender, which was not that he was in an accurate position, nor that he was fierce in stealing, but that he was not physically strong enough to mention the midfielder and striker position, and he couldn't run after two round-trips, so he could only make up the numbers in the position of the defender, and most of the time he still used a high-tech defensive measure: the eye defense method!
But now it's playing with a group of children, and the area of the stadium is not large, Hong Tao decided to be a striker himself, let Boss Liu be a defender, and Fat Boss be a goalkeeper, this is the only position suitable for him, if this job is not done well, he can only be a referee.
The process of the game made Hong Tao blush, with him as the striker, the Zhongbei mixed team conceded 2 goals in ten minutes, and as a striker, in addition to many offsides, he basically did not receive a pass, let alone shoot. These Beninese children are very flexible under their feet, and their sense of running is also very good, Hong Tao is not embarrassed to use the weapon of his body, but just by working under his feet, he is really not one!
Kicking a ball is a heavy activity, and playing on the beach is more physically demanding. Boss Liu only lasted 15 minutes and was automatically gone, and Hong Tao was no better, only the fat boss became more and more courageous. He crawled between two piles of shoe-sized goals, and he really saved a lot of balls.
This is mainly due to his size and those two small short legs. Those Beninese kids play with more individual skills, and even if they shoot, they can't wait to pass the ball through cooperation. But when it comes to the fat boss, a big mountain of meat, it is basically impossible to wear his gear, because even if he deliberately splits between his legs, he can only pass a football.
It is quite comfortable to do a large amount of exercise activities appropriately, and Boss Liu did not let these Beninese children play with him in vain, and specially called a vendor selling drinks with a cart on the beach, and bought a bottle of Coke for each of these children.
To say that the world is the best at trading, Hong Tao first recommended Coca-Cola and Pepsi two companies, in his impression, no matter where you go in the world, whether you are poor or rich, you can basically see the drinks of these two companies. Even though West Africa is one of the poorer regions in Africa, Benin is one of the poorest countries in the region, but this does not prevent the drink from taking root here.
When Hong Tao went to the floating market to buy vegetables just now, he saw that there was a coke seller in the floating bar, and now he saw this kind of thing in the drink vendor truck by the sea, and he really couldn't avoid it wherever he went.
In addition, the Coke here is 9 CFA francs per bottle, and about 1 yuan 2, and I don't know how much the cost of drinks from these two companies is, anyway, no one will pay for the low price!
Sweetened drinks are to these local kids what a cow dung heap is to a fly's attraction! After a while, several little black children came one after another, and they were both older and younger, and there were two little girls inside.
For the children's kind of longing, Boss Liu is undoubtedly generous, this old man's biggest weakness is the children, nothing to think about!
The happiest was the drink vendor, he didn't have that much Coke in the car, but it couldn't help her, the two vendors in the distance were greeted by her, and she also explained a few words to an older boy, and then the boy ran away as soon as he slipped away, probably going home to get the goods.
Although I didn't hear those children call themselves grandfathers, Boss Liu was very happy, not only buying them drinks, but also buying anything suitable for children in the hawker car. At first, it was still used as a prize for the children who scored goals, but later saw that the children's kicking movements were getting bigger and bigger under the material stimulation, and they were developing in the direction of hurting people, so Boss Liu simply gave out a set of drinks and snacks per person.
