Qu Lihua was very happy, and after walking for a day, she was finally able to find a restaurant to rest, and her feet should also rest.

Head Xia Yuxiang also smiled, "I know that everyone is tired of shopping, it is time to find a restaurant to rest, Oliver and I will go to find a restaurant, everyone will wait for us on the street first, we will find it, and then come over to inform everyone." ”

"You can eat while looking at the scenery of the street through the glass window, the scenery on the street side of Milan is still very good!"

The waiter brought the menu, Xia Yuxiang passed it around, and the waiter introduced it on the side, as the second largest city in Italy, Milan, known as the "food paradise", Milan has a rich cultural flavor and provides unique local cuisine, Milan cuisine belongs to the northern cuisine of Italy, including butter rice, braised pork and special pastries.

Qu Lihua saw the fish food on the menu, "Curiously asked Oliver, is there a lot of fish in Milan?"

Oliver smiled, "Although Milan is an inland city, it has the largest fish market in Italy, and it is very famous for the concentration of fresh fish from all over Italy, don't forget that Italy and France are both close to the sea, and the geographical location is still very common. ”

"Everyone has worked hard, let's get moving, you're welcome, let's talk while eating, and let Oliver introduce you to Milanese food!"

After a period of getting along, Qu Lihua has long been familiar with Oliver, this Italian guy, very enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, so young is already a graduate graduate, proficient in English, Italian and Chinese, with him, the translator does not need to be invited, his Chinese is very fluent, belongs to international talents.

"Eat more, these are the authentic food of Milan, you can't eat it anywhere else!"

Oliver exchanged a few polite words, and then quickly got into the topic of introduction.

"The economic center of Milan is a paradise for foodies, just like there is an old saying in China, people take food as the sky, Milanese people who like new things, are the first to accept fast food in Italy, and the pizza that we see in the streets and alleys is fast food, modern life is fast-paced, young people are busy going to work, and there is no time to stop and chew slowly, so fast food has a high social acceptance, once launched, it was quickly recognized by the society, and young people are very fond of fast food culture, and even regard fast food culture as a fashion. ”

"Some of Milan's most famous chefs have tasted famous dishes from all over the world, combined with the local resources of Milan, and the traditional dishes made from the rich raw materials produced in the fertile land are still very marketable, with a variety of tastes and flavors, and are very popular with customers. ”

"Let's take this Milanese dish as an example, made of braised veal mixed with onions, carrots, celery and white wine, because the chef has mastered the heat, the cooked beef is very tender, usually including risotto or polenta, everyone try it to see if it tastes good?"

Qu Lihua forked the veal with a fork and put it in her mouth and took a bite.

"It's really tender, it's delicious, it's easy to digest, it's not very hard to chew. ”

"And this dish, pork stew with cabbage, combined with pork, which requires an insider to know the trick and is not obvious to the layman, is usually a less than ideal pork part ribs, rind, pig's trotters and sweet sausages, then stewed with soft cabbage and added with a glass of strong red wine to accentuate the savory taste. ”

"So eating in a restaurant, it's easy to be mixed in, or eat at home by yourself, it's better to buy pork, you don't pay attention to eating in a restaurant, everyone makes do with it!"
