Four hundred and thirtieth chapters Zheng He's token
At that time, Hong Tao was one of those students who suffered from all three evils. If it weren't for the fact that his father was a university teacher and he had an old classmate who was a leader in the Education Bureau, Hong Tao would have been kicked out of the school long ago. Although that time was unbearable to look back on,
However, Hong Tao has been well trained in his ability to strike up conversations with strange girls. His specific rank has reached the point where he can find something to talk about even if he has nothing to say, and can never finish the conversation if he has something to say.
"Mr. Tao, Mr. Tao, do you still have the photos in the camera? We are all curious about how you entered the Maasai village. Do you have any tricks? Can you tell us?" Pan asked Hong Tao to say this.
She was choked, obviously she underestimated Hong Tao's thick skin. Just when she opened her mouth slightly and didn't know how to answer, Dikov suddenly rushed over, pulled Hong Tao over, and then drowned
among a crowd of people.
"There is no trick. There was Zheng He in China. He came to East Africa by boat hundreds of years ago and then returned to China. He did not go back empty-handed. Among his relics was a Maasai token. I just took it with him.
This token was found in the Maasai village, and it turned out that it really mattered.
Yes, the Maasai people still know that token." Hong Tao was so angry that he managed to get Pan out of the way with words, but the American got mixed up. It was hard to say when he would find such an opportunity again.
That Pan's brain is definitely enough, this trick can only be used once.
"Pfft... cough cough cough..." Pan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Hong Tao being taken away by the Americans. She picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip of champagne. Then she heard Hong Tao
He made up a story so convincingly that the sip of champagne was worth the tablecloth.
"Zheng He!? Token!?" Not only Tikov was confused. The tourists nearby were also confused. This pole was directly barreled hundreds of years ago. There are also tokens, don't you believe it?
, they did enter the Maasai village and took a lot of photos. Believe it or not, this is too outrageous. Moreover, these Europeans and Americans only know about the Age of Discovery and have never heard that the Chinese did it before the Discovery.
Can you come to Africa?
"Zheng He was a royal chamberlain in ancient China, probably around the 15th century. On the order of the Chinese emperor, he led a huge fleet on a long voyage. The fleet set off from Quanzhou in China and passed through the Philippines.
Malaysia, Indonesia, India, and then arrived in East Africa. Do you know how big his ship was at that time? According to Chinese historical records, the flagship was long..." Hong Tao saw that none of the Europeans and Americans here had done anything.

Shi, he immediately became energetic. Anyway, the conversation with Pan couldn't go on. It was a long night, it was still early before going to bed, and there were so many enthusiastic listeners. If I didn't brag for a while, I would be sorry for my mouth.
, besides, this NB is really not completely blown out. At least one-third of it is recorded in history. As for the other two-thirds, it cannot be regarded as fabrication. It belongs to artistic processing, and we are not conducting archaeological research.
Yes. Let’s chat. Do you want to listen or not?
"Brother Liu, what is this kid talking nonsense to others? I don't think he is talking about hunting?" Boss Fat and Boss Liu couldn't understand what Hong Tao and the others were talking about, and they kept sitting at the table drinking.
Bring your own tea.
"He has such a mouth that he could be the Secretary-General of the United Nations. If you are not careful, you will let him fool you. You still can't feel the result. You said that he usually looks very stable. How come he has such a mouth!" Boss Liu!
He turned around and looked at Hong Tao, who was talking in the crowd with foam flying around, and shook his head.
"Did we let him deceive us into going to Africa all of a sudden? Well, I've walked more in the past few days than I have in the past ten years, and he spends all day with that foreign girl.
When we get together, we don’t care about the two of us! But really don’t
He said, "My belly seems a little smaller. When I get dressed in the morning, my waistband will poke a hole in my pants." The fat boss couldn't stand Hong Tao's proud look, especially when he was talking and laughing with Pan and then getting physical.
He moved his feet and started applying eye drops to Hong Tao.
"How could you have hunted these animals if he hadn't tricked you? Why are you so active in hunting today? As if you want to complete your mission. Are you and Hong Tao hiding something from me?" Boss Liu didn't.
Being fooled by the fat boss actually hit the fat boss’s Achilles’ heel.
"Hey, I won't hide it from you. This guy Hong Tao and his hunting guide secretly found something more interesting for us than hunting. Let me tell you, this is what happened...
"The fat boss looked around like a thief, then leaned close to Boss Liu's head, whispered, and finally started biting his ears.
"Hehehe...it's interesting...hehehe..." The two old men met and laughed like night owls while talking.
When the big round moon hung high in the sky, the party in the hotel yard finally ended. People who had rooms in the hotel returned to their rooms to rest one after another, preparing to get up early the next day to watch the wildebeest migration. Those who later
The tourists who arrived had no room to stay, but they would not sleep in the open air. Various outdoor tents were set up in the hotel yard. The hotel not only did not stop them, but also provided these tourists with necessary facilities.
Security service to prevent wild animals from running in and hurting people at night.
The grassland that had been noisy all day finally calmed down. Only the tireless bugs were still calling desperately, or from time to time, there would be one or two calls from night owls and baboons. There were more than a dozen people in the hotel yard.
A gas lamp emits dazzling white light. If you look down from the sky at this time, the tent hotel looks like a flower blooming at night.
It was just dawn the next day, and the whole hotel seemed to suddenly wake up. Tourists, whether they were staying in rooms or in tents, all got out of their beds, packing, washing, and having breakfast.
With adults running around and children screaming, it’s like the Beijing Railway Station during the Spring Festival.
At the same time, in the open space around the hotel, huge hot air balloons swayed and bulged again. Facing these fancy big guys, the baboons that had been staying on the roof of the hotel were also frightened and left one after another.
This amusement park ran to a tree farther away, grinning at the hotel and hot air balloon, as if protesting against these humans disturbing their lives.
Hong Tao is the kind of person who can't sleep if something happens the next day. Under his influence, the entire hunting team got up very early because he started knocking on the door before 4 o'clock. But getting up early has the advantage of getting up early.
Even though it was only half an hour early, there was no need to compete with other tourists for washing up or having breakfast, and there was no need to queue up. So after they packed up their bags, had breakfast and got on the hot air balloon, most tourists were still waiting for
There's a queue for a tap or a breakfast.
"Mr. Tao, Mr. Tao...wait for me...wait for me..." Just when Hong Tao's hunting team was all boarding the gondola and preparing to take off, the American named Tikov pulled his fat
The boss ran out of the camp, shouting at everyone as he ran.
"Mr. Tao, could you please bring me and my wife? When we came yesterday, there were no extra balloons to provide, so we rented a balloon with the British company, but now I am not willing to do it with you.
They are sitting in a gondola. I'm afraid I can't help but throw someone down. Can you do me a favor? I'll pay for the balloon rental." Tikov stood under the gondola, watching eagerly.
He was looking at Hong Tao and holding a dozen dollars in his hand.
"Come up, our balloon can still carry a few people, forget about the rent." Hong Tao asked for everyone's opinions, and then opened the small door of the hanging basket again.
"Oh, let's go!" Tikov was the last to board the gondola. His depressed expression disappeared instantly, and he shouted with a smile like a child on a spring outing.
"He has such an optimistic personality and has nothing to worry about. His wife is also a blessed person. Did you see that when he got up on the hanging basket just now, he first got his wife up and then got up on his own? He didn't seem to be so
A person who pays attention to etiquette, it can be seen that this is a
Habitual actions prove that he is usually good to his wife. If he is not a freeloader, he should be a man who values friendship." Although Boss Liu doesn't understand English, there are many things that he doesn't understand how to say. He just watches.
How to do it becomes another perspective.
"I don't think he is a freeloader. He doesn't seem to be afraid of his wife." Hong Tao agreed with Boss Liu's judgment. The reason why he secretly helped the American yesterday was not because he was more trustworthy.
It's not because he looks like Harrison, but because he has a very straight character and has a wife who is much uglier than him. They say that men become bad when they are rich. This guy obviously hasn't changed.
