595 Contributions of Marco Polo
Armani, Versace, Prada, Valentino, Moschino, Dolce & Gabbana...
Here it is born, conceived, bloomed, and finally takes off.
This city has been dedicated to art since the period of art renaissance, and it has also endowed countless people who have dedicated themselves to art with supreme inspiration.
Milan is so fascinating.
At this time, Qin Guan is in this intoxicating city, with its back against the coolness of the Alps and its face towards the stalwart of the cathedral.
In front of the table are his two managers, who are in the process of matching up with the fashion week staff. The long list of work arrangements in their hands makes Qin Guan, who is just watching, feel a headache for a while.
Although there are three full days before the official start of Milan Fashion Week, Qin Guan's hard-won vacation will all be accounted for in his busy work starting tomorrow.
Therefore, "Nothing" and "Wrong" only this evening today is the last leisure time that Qin Guan can independently control in Milan.
And it is rare to come to Milan once, how can I put myself in the miserable situation of only working?
So a most exquisite gourmet tour is a must for those who come to Milan.
After all, Milan represents the top level of Italian food. In Milan, restaurants with Michelin stars abound.
If we want to talk about the origin of Chinese food and Italian food, we have to mention Marco Polo, a careless buddy.
His travels in China made this European who had never seen the world completely obsessed with the food of the mysterious oriental country.
And as the most thorough cultural disseminator, he also brought back unique oriental cuisine.
It's a pity that Marco Polo's brain is not very good, and coupled with the complexity of Chinese food, he remembered that the noodles with fried sauce should be mixed with sauce, but he didn't know how to make these sauces.
He remembered that white flour cakes in China were filled with fillings, but he didn't know how to wrap the fillings.
He also knew something called wonton, which should be the favorite of the Chinese people, but he forgot what was put in it to keep the fragrance on the teeth and cheeks like that, with endless aftertaste.
So the half-baked Marco Polo, relying on his own guessing and guessing, made original Italian cuisine.
Pasta, Pizza, and Chaos Soup…
The astonished Europeans were naturally obsessed with the rich taste of this variety of ingredients, and they did not hesitate to award the second largest cuisine in Europe to Italy.
Now that Qin Guan, who was tired from travelling, walked along the slightly gloomy but artistic streets of Milan with the trio who were still huddling together to discuss tomorrow's work.
He decided to abandon the two common dishes of pasta and pizza, and lead everyone to try the most original Italian dishes.
Come to a bowl of the most characteristic traditional Italian risotto, paired with their unique stewed pork and beef dishes, it is simply full of energy, and it can instantly fill a person with supreme strength.
Alponde Ferry, this is a very artistic restaurant. The food here is not only delicious, but also the scenery is unique.
Put the dining table on the slate, you can overlook the canal, accompanied by the cool wind in early autumn, don't have a heartbeat.
After arranging their own dinner menu with the waiter in Mandarin-like Italian, the rest is to enjoy this rare Milan night under the lights by the river.
As a Chinese who doesn't pick the order of food, it is natural to have the simplest and most convenient traditional Italian risotto first.
The four of them, Qin Guan and Yin Changtao, placed in front of them a small bowl with a rainbow-colored edge and a shallow bottom, in which was the most famous traditional risotto in north-central Italy.
The soul of risotto is naturally selected Italian rice. Some people say that the most rice-eating people in the world, except for the Orientals represented by the Chinese, are the Italians.
There is a famous Italian saying: Rice grows in water and dies in wine.
Fragrant risotto, the rice grains still maintain their proper round shape, because they are full of the juice of the ingredients stewed with it, making them plump and crystal clear, accompanied by rich meat pieces, sausages, and small vegetables. Its taste is thus rich and colorful.
When it's out of the pan, sprinkle a lot of Parmesan cheese on top, with a unique aroma of depression.
Coupled with the Italian-style pork stew that was just brought up by the waiter, it really whets the appetite.
I don’t know if Marco Polo has ever been to the Northeast, because this traditional autumn and winter delicacy in Italy is like the pork stewed vermicelli in the Northeast.
It's just that the fat and large pieces of pork inside have become Italian pork ribs, trotters, ears, skin, and tails.
The vermicelli turned into shallots and cabbage.
Pair it with a glass of white wine from the Lugana region of Guarda Lake, and you will be immortal when you put it in your mouth.
The night is intoxicating, the food is pleasant, and the traveling team naturally relaxes, looking forward to the upcoming fashion feast.
In September 2003, the weather was fine, and it was a rare fine autumn weather. Qin Guan, who was woken up early in the morning, closed his eyes and let his makeup team fiddle with his face.
This is his first day in Milan and he has to be perfect in all directions.
Standing on Qin Guan's head with short groomed hair, there is no trace of makeup on his face, only the moisture of bail lotion to prevent water loss.
An autumn outfit with a Chinese style that Yin Changtao personally designed was put on by Qin Guan quietly.
In the early morning sun, the golden color fell on Qin Guan's topless body, like an angel who had fallen into the mortal world, without any smell of fireworks.
With his streamlined muscles, when he turned his back to everyone and put the last shirt on his head, some of the make-up teams who hadn't evacuated swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
'grunt'
The sound of swallowing was especially obvious in this silent environment, making this child even more hopeless.
There were good-natured smiles from all over the room, but the staff member transferred from Italy was arguing with the people beside him.
"It's really attractive, isn't it? Look at his figure, it's as if God tailored his body and shaped his body."
"Well, yes, it's normal for you to not get used to it just now. Even though I have been with Qin Guan for more than half a year, I still feel dazed from time to time." (To be continued.)
