216 Food in Mexico

Qi Qili's speed slowed down, and he drove around the road in the town. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The town is not big, and the main arterial road is the fourth-class road that they enter the town and cross the town.

Next to this road, there are supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, hotels, petrol stations, and much more.

There is also not a lot of foot traffic.

Most of the people walking on the road look like they're from small towns.

The people in the town are more mixed, with Europa, Indians, and mixed-race blacks.

Qi Zhong had already told everyone that there were several Indians gathering places near this town, so it was not strange to see Indians here.

Back then, when Qi Zhong's grandfather Qi Liang came here, he also went to several Indian gathering places, that is, Indian tribes, and became friends with the Indians there.

The state of Yucatan is the homeland of the Indian Maya and has many Mayan relics.

The ruins of the Mayan city-state of Chichen Itza, the Pyramid of the Moon, and the ancient city of Durham are all cultural relics left behind by the Maya.

This is also the reason why Yucatan has become a tourist destination.

Qi Zhong spoke, "My lord, let's eat first, and then find a hotel to stay in, and leave for Tiankeng tomorrow morning, okay?"

To get to the sinkhole, you have to walk dozens of kilometers on foot, and if you set off after lunch now, you may still be on the road after dark.

When it's dark, you may not be able to identify the direction and find the sinkhole easily, so you might as well take a break and set off tomorrow morning.

Yuan Shuyu nodded, "It's okay." ”

Seeing Yuan Shuyu nodding, Qi Qili drove the car to the restaurant on the side of the road.

The restaurant is decorated in a Mexican style, with potted cacti and hollyhocks in the corner. The walls are made of stone and painted with brightly colored murals.

Mexico's murals are world-famous.

Many small towns have murals painted on the walls of their houses. to attract tourists.

The name of the restaurant is Spanish for cactus.

These are all what Qi Qili told Yuan Shuyu.

The official language of Mexico is Spanish, and Qi Qili happens to be proficient in Spanish.

Qi Zhong is a daily conversational person who knows some Spanish.

As for Qi Xianfeng and Yuan Shuyu, they don't know Spanish. They all relied on Qi Qili to translate for them.

Entering the restaurant, everyone found that the decoration inside looked even hotter and warmer.

There are also large areas of brightly colored murals on the walls. The curtains and tablecloths are all bright gold, and the floor is the dark green of cacti, which looks very bright in color contrast.

As soon as you enter, you can feel the warm attitude of the owner.

When they entered the restaurant, a waiter immediately came up to entertain them and led them to a table.

Then, the waiter handed the menu to Qi Zhong.

Qi Zhong was old, wearing Tang costumes, and looked quite carefree, like the leader of these people, so the waiter handed the menu to Qi Zhong.

Qi Zhong smiled and handed the menu to Qi Qili, "It's good that my old man can speak a few words of Spanish." I don't understand the menu. ”

Qi Qili took over the menu and said to Yuan Shuyu, "My lord, why don't we eat some Mexican food?"

This is their first meal in Mexico, so naturally they will have to eat some Mexican specialties.

Yuan Shuyu nodded, "Look at it." ”

Qi Qi immediately told the waiter in Spanish what he ordered.

The waiter nodded and went.

Soon, the dishes came up. The first to come up were tortillas.

The tortillas are served with charcoal-grilled beef, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, tortilla cheese and other toppings. It looks so rich in color that it looks like a work of art

The way to eat it is to spread out the tortillas, spread them with various toppings such as beef, and then roll them up and eat them.

Yuan Shuyu ate one, and it tasted very good.

Fragrant, spicy, sour, sweet all tastes, rigid and soft, mixed with multiple flavors, really loved.

Qi Xianxuan, Qi Xianfeng is also delicious.

Soon, a plate, ten tortillas and side dishes, they were all eaten.

After coming down, a few more dishes were served, roasted asparagus with tender cheese, fried green and red peppers with cactus, and crispy pot rolls.

These dishes, like the murals that Mexicans love, are colorful and rich in flavor, and they look mouth-watering.

Yuan Shuyu prefers crispy pot rolls, as well as cheese tender roasted asparagus.

For cacti, Yuan Shuyu doesn't have much love.

Along with that, there is also a steak for each person.

Steak in Mexico is not quite the same as steak in other places.

Elsewhere, steaks are mostly unseasoned and have a little salt added at most.

However, Mexican steak is marinated with chili, salt, and other seasonings, and after frying, it is very flavorful even without topping. And it's smooth and fragrant, no worse than New Zealand's top beef.

Yuan Shuyu had never eaten authentic steak before, so naturally he didn't know the difference.

And Qi Qili and the others were very surprised. It was also the first time they had Mexican-style steak.

After eating, Qi Qili paid the bill in dollars.

In Mexico, people recognize the US dollar.

The U.S. dollar is even more popular than the Mexican peso.

It was a sumptuous meal, but it cost just over $80.

Qi Qili called it cheap.

You know, in some big restaurants in the United States, even one steak is more than 80 dollars, not to mention five steaks, and there are other dishes.

Qi Qili also gave the waiter a two-dollar tip.

The waiter smiled happily and bowed down to see Yuan Shuyu and the others leave.

Out of the small restaurant, not a few steps to the hotel.

A few people walked into the hotel, took out their passports, registered their names, and paid the fee for five days, even if they were staying.

Five people, asked for three rooms. Yuan Shuyu has a separate room. Qi Zhong, Qi Qili two people, Qi Xianxuan, Qi Xianfeng two people.

I went upstairs and looked at the room.

An ordinary small-town hotel is naturally not as good as the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel. But it looks clean and comfortable.

There are also one or two pots of flowers and plants in the room that are easier to feed, which looks wild and interesting.

Combined with the dense forest scenery outside the window, people suddenly feel curious to find out.

put down the salute, Qi Qili and the others all came to Yuan Shuyu's room.

Qi Zhong spoke first, "My lord, there is still an afternoon to go, why don't we go around the town." I just saw that there is a craft, gift shop in the town. When you come out, you naturally want to bring some gifts back to your loved ones. ”

Yuan Shuyu nodded, "It's okay." ”

Everyone only took their documents, bank cards, a small amount of cash, and mobile phones, and prepared to go out.

As soon as they walked out of the hotel and were about to head to the gift shop, they saw several young men of Indian origin, tall and burly blocking their way.

Several spoke Spanish. Therefore, everyone looked at Qi Qili.

A hint of coldness flashed on Qi Qili's face, "They said that there was no money to eat, and they asked us to give them some money." Dollars, Mexican pesos can be ......"
