Chapter 389: Texas' Past and Present.

After a trip to Highway 1, Zhang Hao began his trip to Texas.

Many things that Zhang Feng thought they would never forget in their lives were forgotten by Zhang Feng in the days when Zhang Feng never forgot them, such as those people and things that once made your heart ache. But there are some things, even if Zhang Feng forgets it, but history has helped Zhang Feng record it, making it a culture and a spirit.

For example, the wine festival in Grapevine City, such as the cowboy culture and cowboy spirit in Texas, these things that history has helped people record and make people forget.

Zhang Feng has had an inexplicable love for cowboys since he was a child, and whenever he talks about the west, his blood will always boil. When I grew up, I was obsessed with wine and went to major wineries at home and abroad. This trip to the United States, went to Texas. Grapevine City just happened to perfectly string Zhang Feng's childhood dreams with his adult preferences.

Zhang Feng experienced the fun of stepping on grapes, felt this ancient and traditional way of making wine, and also tried an experience that he had never had in his life, playing with real guns and rifles at the shooting range for the first time, and also took a steam train to Fort Worth to feel the charm of western culture. By the way, what Zhang Feng is most proud of is that he had breakfast at the same table with the mayor of Grapevine City and the director of the tourism bureau.

In short, Zhang Feng likes it very much. Grapevine City.

The city on the other side.

Zhang Feng's destination is Grapevine City, Texas, which is only 93 square kilometers in size if you have studied the history of Texas. Now it is very convenient to go to Texas from China, and there are direct flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and other places. You can fly to Dallas Airport or Houston Airport, two of the largest cities in Texas. Zhang Feng flew to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DF International Airport), of course, from the United States, the airport is in Grapevine City, and the city center is about fifteen minutes away from the airport.

Therefore, if you come to Texas for more than four hours, it is very suitable for coming to Texas to play. Of course, the best thing is to stay in Texas for a few days and get a feel for life in Texas.

Grapevine City, just listen to the name, you know that this is a city that has a great relationship with grapes, and September and October are the time when the grand grape festival of Grapevine City is held, so Zhang Feng came here at this time, he can see more people than usual, and feel a richer atmosphere than usual.

The environment of the hotel is very good, full of American style, here Zhang Feng also saw a huge "chicken", which has a lot to do with the past Chinese Year of the Rooster.

Zhang Feng walked around the hotel and visited, the scenery is really good, and found two particularly interesting things here, one is the pillar, you Zhang Feng looked at it for a long time, and then saw what it was built up with. Because wine is produced here, this pillar is stacked with wine oak stoppers, so you can feel the wine culture here at once?

There is also a tree, when he first saw it, Zhang Feng thought it was a slightly ordinary, at most some age tree, but this is missing a fake tree, its trunk, branches, leaves and other things, all of which are fake. The tree cost $100,000 to make, and of course, the final effect was worth the price, and if no one told Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng wouldn't have known that the tree was fake, because it was so lifelike.

On the first day, because of the fatigue of the long-distance trip, there were not many activities arranged, Zhang Feng found a restaurant to eat after walking around the hotel, the restaurant is a Mexican restaurant, in Texas, the most should be the Mexican restaurant, which has a great relationship with the history and geographical location of this place Zhang Feng will mention later, and about Mexican food, Zhang Feng is also quite experienced.

It is worth mentioning that this hotel provides VIP chick in service, providing a very warm and distinctive room only for Zhang Feng and a few friends, I feel very honored.

After the restaurant came out, Zhang Feng went to a winery to taste wine, in the grapevine city, since wine is produced, the number of wineries will definitely not be less.

Past and present of Texas.

After a night's rest, Zhang Feng adjusted his body almost to the end, and finally embarked on a formal trip, "the plan of the day lies in the morning", a good morning must start with a delicious breakfast, and every morning should not be disappointed.

Zhang Feng's breakfast is near Main Street, a Mexican restaurant where the owner is Lebanese and the hostess is Mexican, which is not very strange in Texas. The United States is a multi-ethnic country, and Texas is no exception, where Mexicans make up about one-quarter to one-third of the population due to history and geography.

The decoration of the restaurant is still quite delicate, and the bar counter is full of all kinds of drinks, large and small, dazzling. It is still slightly different from the layout of domestic restaurants, more like some bars in China.

But the food here is really delicious, it's all authentic Mexican food.

Regarding Mexican food, Zhang Feng's first thought is mostly the burritos and tortillas mentioned in many American dramas, which are indeed two very representative foods in Mexican cuisine. The burrito that Zhang Feng often says is called Taco, and the tortilla is called Quesadilla, both of which are made with corn, which is what we call corn.

In addition, corn is a staple food in Mexico, similar to our rice and wheat, and many Mexican dishes are related to corn.

At this point in time, there were not many people in the restaurant, Zhang Feng ordered a few more distinctive breakfasts, which could be seen from the appearance and color of the breakfast, and tasted it, as expected. Some sour, some spicy.

Here I have to talk about the characteristics of Mexican cuisine, as one of the world's five major dishes along with Italian, Indian, Chinese, and French cuisine, Mexican cuisine is mainly spicy and sour, followed by sweet, and many of their dishes are spicy, including breakfast. This may have a lot to do with their products, in Mexico, there are more than 100 different varieties of chili peppers, as well as a large number of tomatoes, so chili peppers and tomatoes are the staples of Mexican cuisine.

Although Zhang Feng can't eat spicy food, he can still feel that the taste of the dish is very good.
