Let's say that the official Hong Xuan is in Hutianhudi, and the officers and soldiers of the Southeast Mansion are also living happily, they get off the boat to play around, eat exotic food----- and after eating for two days, they return to their own ship and eat noodles!

The food of the average Portuguese is not as good as the palace feast.

Moreover, the red haired fan is still in a feudal society, and the upper and lower are clearly distinguished, and the nobles can invite the southeastern officers to enjoy the feast, they think that they are the same class as the officers, but they don't look at the Chinese big-headed soldiers.

For example, Portugal is rich in seafood, but when it comes to removing fish, they don't have the ability to cook Chinese; Eating mutton, the Chinese chef is able to do it without any smell at all, making you almost suspect that you are not eating mutton.

As for the Portuguese, they eat fish until they are fishy, and they eat sheep until they are sassy, and these dishes are not edible!

The power of Chinese food lies in the ability to make ordinary home-cooked food delicious, and the cooking skills of the Portuguese are obviously not on the same level as the Chinese chefs.

Most Chinese people are not used to eating, but reporter Yao Wenqi and naturalist Tao Yuanzao are as sweet as food, they drill everywhere, wander around, and eat everywhere!

It's really not in vain, and there are a lot of things worth seeing. Lisbon is the royal capital and has a large number of places of interest to visit.

Located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, the Belém Tower was built in the early 16th century and appears to float on the water at high tide. The Jerónimos Monastery in front of the tower is a typical example of Manueline architecture popular in the early 16th century, with magnificent spirit and ornate carvings. There are cemeteries of famous people in the country, where the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama and the famous poet Camoandz are laid to rest, and Yao Wenqi and Tao Yuanzao both went to pay their respects and lay flowers.

The Portuguese say that anyone who hasn't seen Lisbon hasn't seen it before. The best street in this beautiful city is located at the mouth of the Taigas River (the Thiho River), which flows into the Atlantic Ocean and forms an inland sea called the "Sea of Makus", one of the most magnificent natural harbors in the world, famous for the great navigators who set sail here.

Despite the turmoil, Lisbon is still fascinating, and it is now the golden age of the Age of Discovery, with ships from Lisbon trading in Africa, Asia and overland.

The Portuguese capital became one of the richest cities in Europe, and Portugal became a world power. The gold, silver, precious stones, silk, spices, exotic plants and animals such as live rhinos brought back by sea were unloaded in the port of Lisbon, and the city's treasury overflowed.

So the people's lives are relatively rich, at least they can eat a lot of meat that is not very tasty.

Instead of asking the ship's chef to show his craft, he wanted the Portuguese who had been to the East to promote the legend of Chinese food!

Seven days later, the Southeastern Fleet bid farewell to the reluctant Portuguese and received a large amount of money!

Just as Hong Xuguan looked down on the goods of Hongmaofan, Hongmaofan found himself very embarrassed, and there was no good goods to give back to the distinguished guests from the East.

Well, simplify, give back three thousand taels of gold!

Thank you, thank you!

They reached a consensus with the Portuguese, one is to establish diplomatic relations on both sides and set up their own embassies; The second is to actively develop trade, provide good services to each other's merchant ships and cut tariffs in half.

Still with the help of López and Prado, they were guided to the Spanish port of Cádiz, where they were also warmly welcomed.

The Spanish Minister of State, Santos, was waiting for him and graciously invited him to Madrid to meet King Philip IV of Spain!

Philip IV was very interested in the envoys from the east, but he could not condescend to see the Hong Xuan official, so the Hong Xuan official had to go to see him!

People give face like this, and naturally the official Hong Xun has to give back face, so he got into a carriage and went to Madrid with Santos.

It turned out to be an unbearable journey!

The road conditions were so bad that the carriage was so jolting that the official almost vomited his internal organs.

In the southeast province, the highway condition is one of the assessment indicators of local officials, Yan Changwu has already put the bureaucratic assessment to the data, no longer what is outstanding, excellent and poor, etc., but one by one scoring, which one is done well, which one is not done well at a glance, the hard bottom of the highway is also an assessment indicator, the local officials do not dare to be sloppy, the village road does not care, but the main road will be maintained.

He simply rode a horse!

The method is to cover all of his face, revealing only a pair of eyes, like a masked thief.

Otherwise, do you want to come chic?

Then eat mud, and hope you have hot water in your accommodation, otherwise your clothes will be full of mud!

Hong Xuguan advanced all the way, paying attention to the people's feelings all the way.

Despite the influx of silver from the Age of Discovery, Spain was still quite backward, with wooden houses on the roads, stone buildings only visible in the towns, dirt roads for the most part, and good roads only on the edge of the city.

The aristocrats wore fine silk, while the populace were homespun, ragged, and did not look tall!

Don't think that the red-haired fans are naturally tall, in the age of ignorance, they were also short, and the average height of the Germans in the 17th century was only about 1.6 meters, as can be seen from those castles and knights' armor. Now the real ancient castle is cramped and squat in many places.

The armor of those knights was so narrow that even modern Asians could not wear them, and the common people could imagine that the knights were like this.

Spain is nothing but that!

Sure enough, everywhere are all evil aristocrats and bureaucrats living well.

Hong Xuguan can't help but be proud of his southeast mansion, in the southeast mansion, the porters have silk clothes to wear, almost everyone eats white rice, and meat is eaten from time to time!

The southeastern government has vigorously promoted the vegetable basket project, first ensuring that urban residents have rice and meat to eat, and then in rural areas, they have also tried to keep them full and eat well.

And fellow reporter Yao Wenqi knows even more that where can ordinary people eat meat every day, most of them have some bread. I'm busy all day long, and I don't have much time to pay attention to cooking. Only the aristocratic lord is relatively exquisite.

Of course, bread is the staple food of Westerners, but the main ingredient of bread is not necessarily wheat, and until the 17th century, the production of red carnata wheat was in short supply. So all sorts of substitutes including barley, rye, double wheat and other grains are made into bread, and even chestnuts and beans are ground to make bread.

The poor have long eaten bread with complex compositions, while white bread has been enjoyed by the rich, the aristocracy, and the privileged of the church.

At that time, there was a kind of white bread called priest's bread, priest's name, and there was also a kind of fine white bread with milk and brewer's yeast instead of ordinary dough, called queen's bread, which means that when you eat this kind of bread, you will enjoy the queen's life.

According to the French Revolution, it embodies the ugliness of the unity of the church and the royal power.

Later, when the official arrived in France, the enthusiastic French nobles entertained him with ugliness, lest they snub the distinguished guests from the East!
