Departing from Peru, passing through Colombia, Nicaragua and finally arriving in Mexico City.

For those who haven't been there, the impression of it is still stuck in the desert, cacti, guitar and, of course, the notorious Mexican gangsters.

But in fact, Xing Jie didn't see any of the above except for the guitar.

When asked about the uncle, the other party was also surprised. If you want to see the desert, cactus, except for a few special states and counties, you have to drive at least 100 kilometers here, only there is a specially reserved desert nature reserve, and other places have long been replaced by high-rise buildings.

As for the Mexican gangsters, it is said that they all went to the side of the US imperialists, but whether it is true or not is a matter of opinion between the benevolent and the wise.

After finding a few old friends, borrowing a car, I headed for Villahermosa, Tabasco.

It's really a beep dog, I didn't see the imaginary desert, but the urban torrent opened Xing Jie's eyes again. I always thought that seeing the sea in the city was just a unique scenery of the imperial capital, but I didn't expect it to be the same here.

The heavy rain has caused water to accumulate everywhere, and it can be said that it is basically impossible to walk an inch. Fortunately, my uncle's driving skills are relatively good, otherwise the car would have been on this street. The destination is a place on higher ground, which is actually a slum, could it be like this?

"I hope this bastard hasn't moved after all these years, otherwise it would have been difficult to find him. The uncle muttered as he walked through the sewage-filled streets, occasionally asking passers-by in fluent Spanish.

After knocking on the door for a long time, no one opened the door, but his neighbor opened the door and came out, a fat black Mexican woman.

"You're looking for Diego too, I haven't seen him for three days. ”

"Oh, do you know who he was with three days ago?"

The uncle took out a piece of Franklin and handed it over, the fat woman's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly reached out and grabbed her hand, and said very quickly: "I don't know each other, there are three people in total, two of them are white, and one seems to be Chinese." Those two white men were so ruthless that they beat Diego half to death as soon as they met, and they said something about the valley. Took Diego away on the spot. ”

"Very good, thank you. Another point, whether Diego comes back or not in five days, he asks you to help make this call. Somebody will pay you a pretty good amount, well, about fifteen hundred dollars. ”

Countless experiences have proven that using a green knife to open the way is the most effective and convenient way. What kind of personal threat you get, you don't necessarily get the truth, but if you use a beautiful knife, the credibility is much higher. Of course, if there is a reward in the later stage, Xing Jie absolutely believes that this fat woman will stare at Diego's room inch by inch.

As for that valley, needless to say, it is the same place where the wildfires broke out back then.

Taura Civilization!

But isn't that place burned to the ground? What's the point of going?

But it's not going to be a good time now, what if Aziz and they dig up that kind of thing again? It's three days, and they have to dig when the sun is at its strongest, which means they only have twelve hours to dig.

If you rush over now, it's still too late.

"Can we go to Diego's room?"

"Of course, the bastard's key has always been under that blanket. ”

"Thank you. ”

Another sheet was handed over by Franklin.

The fat woman was extremely satisfied, and returned to her room with two beautiful knives in her hand.

Unexpectedly clean, Xing Jie originally thought that this Diego lived in the slums, and the home was definitely a mess, but he didn't expect it to be cleaned in an orderly and clean manner. The whole room was filled with only books, except for the pitiful light bulbs of household appliances.

There are books everywhere, all of them about Olmec culture, Toltec culture, Teotihuacan culture, Zapotec culture, Mayan culture and Aztec culture, some of which are from the stalls, some of which are treasured in the National Library, and some of which are even cherished and unique books that even my uncle has never read. And, of course, the notes he made, five or six thick ones.

"Xiaojie, this rain doesn't stop, we can't go, you better take a break, I'll take a look at what's in these notes." ”

"Hmm. I'm not tired, I'm still looking for something to eat. ”

"Okay, bring me a Taco if you have one, and the side dish in the middle is a traditional Mexican chicken shredded. ”

Seeing that his brother-in-law was looking at Diego's notebook there without raising his head, Xing Jie could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and walked out.

When asked for food, of course, you have to find the locals.

And the only person Xing Jie has dealt with here is the black Mexican fat woman.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand the language, the action of eating is easy to understand, plus Uncle Xing Jie was so bold just now, this fat woman is very enthusiastic Xing Jie brought it into her home.

As luck would have it, her family's main livelihood was a traditional tortilla stand. Because of the heavy rain, there is no way to go out of the stall, and I am idle at home. When the male owner of the family learned that Xing Jie bought food, he smiled and his two hands were like butterflies.

A sheet of golden cornmeal and corn flour pancakes, topped with bright red peppers, fish fillets made from fresh fish and butter sauce, rolled up is Mexico's most famous taco. Well, it tastes good, 'sour and spicy refreshment'!

When he learned that he also wanted a piece of shredded chicken rolls, the male owner was a little surprised, but he still deliberately washed his hands again and prepared it carefully, the expression was basically the same as when Xing Jie was preparing the New Year's dish, very serious.

Once it is made, it is served with both hands. This makes Xing Jie a little confused, is it necessary to cook a full banquet like a full Han banquet?

With a stomach question on his face, Xing Jie returned to Diego's hut.

"Well, it tastes good. We'll leave later, I can't see it, Diego, the bastard has made a lot of discoveries over the years. I'll tell you more about it when you get to the car. ”

Seeing his uncle eating authentic Mexican chicken rolls there with satisfaction, he couldn't hold back the question in Xing Jie's heart anymore and asked directly.

"Oh, that's what you say. That's because only the local indigenous people of Mexico insist on eating local chicken shredded rolls, and those people are generally of very high status. Therefore, everyone who makes Taco will subconsciously wash their hands as long as they face people who eat this kind of shredded meat roll. Haven't you noticed that they basically don't wash their hands when cooking?"

", uncle, why didn't you say it earlier?"

But Xing Jie didn't care, didn't he suffer anything when he was working in the field? As the saying goes, if you don't dry it, you won't get sick if you eat it.

The water in the street has finally gone down, so let's go!

Of course, out of resentment, Xing Jie went to buy a few local chicken shredded rolls, hehe, the taste is not bad.
