"England, Scotland, and Ireland will send people, and Spain will pay for guns to wage a long, protracted, powerful, intense, and effective proxy war!" After positioning his future in-laws and future son-in-law, Ferdinand felt it was time to leave. Before leaving, I went to the garden of the Alhambra Palace to look at it, and the famous sayings of the Peace Religion kept flashing in front of me, and one of them impressed me: Only a small safety can be achieved.

"Let foreigners produce for Spain and let foreigners work for Spain." With money, the Spanish people developed such a ridiculous concept.

If you want to develop the Spanish economy, a famous quote from Troamp can be directly remade.

"Buy Spanish, hire Spaniards."

Spain's cotton textile industry is just emerging, the New World has not yet been developed, and it can't produce any products, and in the same way, now Spaniards don't have a penny or two of money to narcissism, so there is no need to emphasize hiring Spaniards. The turbulent tide of the colonial era has not yet fully arrived, and there is no need to think about these questions.

But Ferdinand has one thing that can be advocated right away, "Eat Spanish food." ”

The Spanish Restaurant Company is not really a company, but a sole proprietorship founded by Ferdinand, which operates as a direct chain and is headquartered in Madrid, and the chain consists of cheaper, unpretentious bars and restaurants that sell "paella", "paella" (rice produced in southern Spain) and a variety of meals. It is popular because of the lower price. The development time is not long, and the scale is still small, but the royal industry is still well-known as a royal family supported by the king. It has its headquarters and two branches in Madrid, three in Toledo, three in Barcelona, two each in Granada and Valencia, two in Jerez and one in Seville. In addition, Sardinia is preparing to establish a branch and introduce bar buffet service workers, and the buffet will also be available on the mainland in the future.

The chain stores of "Spanish Catering Company" have two advertising slogans painted on the billboard at the entrance of the store -

One was a white slogan: "Bar for Kings and Commoners". The king earns the money of the commoners, so it is naturally a bar for the king and the commoners.

The other is "Sherry, Spanish sunshine in a bottle".

Naturally, this is the sherry that was born in advance under the "catalysis" and "blessing" of Ferdinand.

Sherry wine was made by wine merchants in Spain during the period of the Great Discoveries, adding brandy to the Spanish wines produced in Jerez. Now Columbus's first voyage has just ended, and natural sherry has not yet been born, but Jerez's unique flavor is ripe, and only the popularity and a little bit of brandy are missing.

So it was only natural that Ferdinand opened the "Jerez Royal Wine and Sherry Winery" in Jerez, and established a "Spanish Dining" branch in the city of Jerez and a branch in the Frontera area of Jerez.

Shirley is in English, and the Spanish call it "Jerez", which is its place of origin. But Ferdinand had already been impressed by the name of Sherry, and now that he was the original, he simply used Sherry to name it, unifying the name.

At noon on September 9, the watchmaker who had left the Alhambra Palace walked into the fast food restaurant "Spanish Restaurant" in the city of Granada, and now he was very hungry and panicked, and he was having a meal to suppress the panic.

"A bowl of rice, pork. By the way, a Carborel sheep milk cheese. ”

I don't know why, but there weren't a few people in the store today.

However, the watchmaker soon found his colleague walking in. "Isaac, I finally saw a second man come in, I thought it would be me today."

"The city officials gave a ceremony to see the king off, and everyone went to see it, and I just came back...... Alas, you're eating pork rice here? ”

"Is there something wrong?"

"This is Granada, and we haven't had a good relationship with the Moors lately, and some priests have come to preach to the Moors and want to convert them."

"I know some of the Moors have become Moriscos. I don't think it's enough to make a big deal about this little thing, right? ”

"Whatever you want, I think it's better to stay away from the Cultists of Peace in the near future...... Hey, haven't you always liked dry cheese and said you're not interested in dairy cheese? ”

"Now I feel very dry in my throat, alas, if I don't tell you, the whole person is not good anyway...... Came to eat fast food and ended up pulling for so long......"

"Hey, you don't have that weird disease, do you? I've heard that there's been a ...... lately."

"Don't talk nonsense, we are craftsmen hired by His Majesty the King, and I am a man of integrity."

"By the way, I have heard of such a strange thing, that tents have been built in the mountains outside Granada, and some Moors have been running there in the evening, probably because something is going to happen...... So I'm telling you, don't get into conflict with the Moors these days. ”

Not far away, a man dressed as a little nobleman who had just walked in, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he walked in casually.

"I want a cured sausage."

10 September 1493, Seville.

Antonio left his home and grocery store on Bueno Street and went to a tavern on the corner, with which he knew Monsieur Fernando well, and whenever he finished his morning, he would go to the "Spanish Restaurant" to drink a glass of sherry in the tavern of Seville.

According to Antonio, this tavern should be the most shabby of the thirteen branches of "Spanish Restaurant" so far, with a long, narrow low house on the corner, with doors open on the walls in both directions, and a bar room running through the bar.

On this night, the night was as cold as water, and Antonio stopped in front of the tavern, took a deep breath, and stepped inside.

Behind the bar are a dozen barrels of wine from Fernando. The bar has introduced some of the dishes, including Spanish onions, sausages and Granada ham, which His Majesty the King has described as the best in the Iberian Peninsula. A few servants from a nearby family were enjoying wine and sherry here, discussing the difference between the two tastes.

Antonio knew that Granada's ham was the best, and even though he had never tasted it in a bar, he never got drunk every time he had a drink.

He wasn't here for a drink tonight, but he felt a little drunk.

A lady dressed in black walked by, and at this time she usually went to Mass in the company of a maid, but today she was alone, and she actually entered the bar.

Several of the nobles' servants were a little puzzled and puzzled, but they did not express any dissatisfaction, they did not want to spoil the quiet atmosphere of the evening wine tasting for this matter.

"Madam, I have sorted out the two Norse mythological epics you wanted, maybe you will be interested in the story of Hela, the king of Hades......"

"I know that Hela was born dead so that she could become Hades."

……

Antonio handed over a note with some nervousness.

The note was scribbled with the words "I know and found out where the Moors went......"
