"You're visiting Argentina for the first time, right?" The lobby manager did not join Hong Tao in despising Fernando's despicable behavior, but smiled and asked Hong Tao another question.

"yes, what's wrong?" Hong Tao felt a little bad.

"Oh, nothing, the usual meal time here is from 20 o'clock, and most restaurants will not serve meals until 19:30, so you don't have to worry, your friends may be on their way." The lobby manager still had that professional smile and told Hong Tao a very unfortunate news.

"That's right, thank you very much!" Hong Tao listened to the words of the lobby manager, not only did he not put his heart down, but he became even more angry, isn't this playing with us! You said early in the morning, the three of us sat in the lobby for 2 hours in vain, isn't it too stupid B!

Sure enough, as the lobby manager said, Fernando appeared in the lobby at 19:30 with small steps, and he found that his small negligence made Hong Tao wait for more than 2 hours.

Hong Tao didn't complain about this unprofessional old man, if you can offend less people when you go out, you can offend less people, sit for a while longer, sit for a while!

Fernando and Hong Tao did not drive, but walked all the way west, about three traffic lights, to a restaurant called La Estancia, which translates to ranch. True to its name, this ranch restaurant is the flavor of the gauchos, an ethnic group in Argentina who mainly focus on herding, and their food is simple, all kinds of grilled meats!

There are many types of barbecue in the gauchos, and it took Fernando a long time to explain to Hong Tao that the more than ten dishes written on the first two pages of the original recipe were actually one dish. In Chinese terms, it is roasted whole beef!

That's right, let's roast whole sheep and roast suckling pig here! The whole cow over there was roasted directly, Hong Tao specially asked Fernando to take it to the back kitchen to take a look, a bit like the way of hanging the oven to roast a duck, hanging the whole cow split into two pieces in a large oven and turning, turning for a while to pull out and apply the seasoning, and then push it back to continue to turn.

The chef here divides the whole roasted beef into more than 10 dishes according to different parts for guests to order, including tenderloin roast, enema roast, pork rib roast, loin and belly roast, etc., although they are all meat from the same cow. But it tastes different and tastes different, so it's interesting.

In addition, there are barbecue patties made of different animal meats, and barbecue sausages, which are thicker than Hong Tao's arms, and the taste is strange, and Hong Tao is not used to eating them.

In addition to meat, the shop also served a food called Ampanadas, which Hong Tao ordered with curiosity, and it turned out to be more than ten minutes later. The waiter came up with a large plate and 2 large dumplings. Its appearance is exactly like our Chinese dumplings, except that they are not cooked, but fried, and the filling inside is slightly different. There are minced meat, raisins, olives, corn and eggs.

The food tasted pretty good, especially the roast beef, which was very, very tender, and there was no chewing at all. But these Argentines are too procrastinating to eat. The food was also served slowly, and after more than an hour of eating, a bottle of red wine was drunk. The last dish hasn't come up yet.

And that's not all, after eating, the waiter brought several very fine silver jars, and then put a small silver tube in each jar.

"Is this a drink? The cups are so beautiful! Hong Tao sniffed on the mouth of the jar, a smell of lemon.

"This is yerba mate, it's delicious, you can taste it, this jar and this straw is called Pembixia, just suck it and drink it." Fernando picked up a straw and gave a demonstration himself.

"Oh, it's bitter! There's also sugar added to it, a bit like our Kuding tea. "The sturgeon was the fastest, took a straw and took a bite, and then its mouth cracked, and it must have been a little bitter.

"It doesn't matter, just take a few more sips and take a straw, if you don't drink yerba mate, you won't be in Argentina." Fernando had long expected that Hong Tao would be bitter, so he took a small bowl with honey in it, and added a little honey to Hong Tao's small jar for the three of them.

"Tomorrow is the weekend, do you want to go there?" Fernando took a few more sips to absorb the yerba mate in the jar, then called the waiter, and added some hot water to the jar.

"We don't like to see monuments, museums or anything, are there any other fun things?" Hong Tao has similar interests and hobbies to Fat Man Bu and Sturgeon, and he has not grown too many artistic cells.

"In that case, we can go to Florida Street in the morning, where there are many Argentine specialties, such as leather goods and silverware, and have lunch at the old tax warehouse, and then go to the gambling boat at Pier 1 to have fun, and in the evening...... By the way, do you guys like watching football? "Fernando is an Argentinian expert, and he doesn't need to look at a map to tell you exactly what to do in downtown Buenos Aires.

"Football? That team's game? "Fat Zibu is obviously a fan, and as soon as he heard the word football, he immediately came to his senses.

"You're lucky, tomorrow is the match between Boca Juniors and River Plate, if you want to see it, it's still too late to sign up for the team!" Fernando seems to be a fan too, and when it comes to watching football, it's not the same as talking about other attractions.

"Lao Hong, go and have a look?" Fat Zibu didn't forget the agreement before departure, and when he went abroad, everything was decided by Hong Tao.

"Then let's take a look, how much is the ticket? What do you think that watcher group is for? Can't you buy your own ticket to see it? As a privately agreed team leader, Hong Tao has to fulfill the responsibility of the team leader, not only to ask about the tourism project, but also to find out the price and specific details.

"It's about 100 pesos per person, about 35 US dollars, and the viewing group is specially for foreign tourists, you know that watching football in Argentina is a very dangerous thing, those fans will do anything, often hurt people, so big clubs like Boca and River Plate will set aside a piece of the best grandstand for foreign tourists, separate them from the local fans, led by special personnel, sitting behind the broadcast seats, the location is very good, and it is very safe, of course, the ticket price will be higher." Fernando explained the problem of this viewing group to Hong Tao.

"Oh, Nacheng, let's go watch the game tomorrow, Fernando, you go with us too, I invite you to watch the game together." Hong Tao understood as soon as he heard it, this was because he was afraid that the local fans would hurt the foreign tourists and affect the tourism industry here, so he came up with this viewing group, but for those foreign tourists who just watched a fresh, it was really a good thing.

"Oh, that's great, thank you so much!" When Fernando heard Hong Tao being so generous, his face immediately burst into laughter, and he didn't even excuse himself, so he quickly agreed.

"Fernando, in addition to going fishing in Brazil, we also want to make a documentary to bring back, but the time here is too short, if you don't have anything else to do, can you tell us about Argentina that you know?" Hong Tao saw that the sturgeon was holding a camera to take pictures of the street scene outside the window, and suddenly thought of a simple way to understand Argentina.

"Oh, that's a great idea, will I be in the documentary?" When Fernando heard Hong Tao's request, he didn't think about his privacy and portrait rights at all, but was very concerned about his appearance.

"Of course, there is a possibility that this documentary will be broadcast all over China, and you will be a celebrity in China by then." Hong Tao doesn't mind fooling this old Brazilian man, he may not set foot on Chinese soil in his life anyway.

"That's great, you must give me a copy when the time comes, and I'll keep it for my sons and grandchildren!" What are you going to know about Argentina? I've lived here for almost 20 years, from being a cowboy to driving a taxi, and in some places I know more than my home country, Brazil. Fernando was really fooled, and when he heard that he could be on TV in a faraway and mysterious country, he was so excited that he kept swearing to God of Lu how deep he knew about Argentina, for fear that his appearance rate would be affected because he knew too little about it.

"There is no specific direction, you just say what you know, we just want to have a general understanding of this place, and by the way, we will show it to the people in China." Hong Tao really didn't know what aspect he wanted to know about Argentina.

"I understand, Argentina is a very special country, not to mention that you are from China, even if it is its neighbor Brazil, there are not many people who can really understand it, I will tell you about these special features!" Fernando is a tour guide who has a thorough understanding of the psychology of foreigners.

"Why don't we change places? Will it be closed here? Let's find a bar or café and sit down and have a good chat. Hong Tao looked at his watch, it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening, and he was afraid that the restaurant owner would blow out halfway through the conversation.

"No, it won't! Don't worry, this is Buenos Aires, and no one will dare to bomb us even if we sit until midnight, but we can order a few cups of coffee, and the coffee here is good. The cunning old man of Brazil knew that they didn't like to drink coffee, and deliberately said this word, it seems that he should be hungry.

"No problem, I'll just drink this yerba mate, and have 3 cups of coffee." Hong Tao doesn't mind the old man taking a small advantage, now he is begging others to do things, if the other party doesn't take a small advantage, it will be more troublesome. (To be continued......)
