Volume 857 The National Essence of Spain

When you come to Spain, if you don’t eat tapas once, then you are in vain, even if you dance flamenco with the most unrestrained Spanish dancers, even if you step on the bullfight field and foam at the mouth. The most ferocious bull fights can't hide the regret of your trip to Spain.

Because tapas is the quintessence of Spanish food.

Tapas are available in almost all large and small restaurants.

Because about tapas, in the splendid legend of Spain, there are two completely different versions of it.

A kind of nobility, it is said that he was the ancient king of Spain, who suffered from a disease of loss of appetite, and he did not want to eat the big meals that belonged to Europe, but only wanted some light snacks.

So the Spanish royal chef made a few small dots, each of which is sweet, sour, spicy and salty, and is different from each other.

But the appetizing function is unique.

Those snacks that were only half the size of a palm made the king of Spain very addicted to eating them. In a short while, his appetite was widened and his illness was cured.

Another legend is more close to the people, as in the era of carriage transportation, tired passengers and workers had no time to eat when they were busy. They settled a meal right at the door of the restaurant or next to the carriage.

Usually a loaf, dry and featureless. However, the beautiful proprietress of the small restaurant that wants to make money divides the original large main course into many small portions and sells them to busy people who don't have time.

And this is the predecessor of tapas.

No matter which one it is, the legend about this kind of quintessence is inseparable from its delicious taste.

Therefore, Qin Guan dragged Wang Liying into this restaurant directly, with his intuition that he only belongs to the gluttonous.

Because there are tapas in every family, the most critical part of whether it is delicious or not is the number of diners.

This small restaurant with huge crowds and waiting for a table became Qin Guan's first choice.

Small but complete.

On the two-story transparent dining table, there are almost fifty types of snacks alone.

The original color of the food, matched with the huge black bottom of the plate, each small snack, with a small toothpick inserted, is tightly squeezed together, as if shouting: Don't eat me, don't eat me!

Very cute.

It's a pity that the gluttonous Qin Guan came, and the ambition in his heart can be seen from the huge white tray in his hand.

The burnt yellow and slightly brown is a combination of pocket Vienna sausages, served with Spanish coarse bread, and the size is not as big as a ping pong ball.

Half a hard-boiled egg is served with crystal clear white and soft and fragrant yellow, but the large orange caviar needs to show its presence on top.

In the small cylinder roll is a small fried chicken leg. Before the chicken has lived for three months, it has turned into a crispy and tender chicken with breadcrumbs on the outside.

In the bright red bell pepper, there is white and delicate fish meat. As a representative of the light pie, the taste that melts into the mouth is robbed of the final aftertaste by the spicy thick sausage slices below.

Not to mention the colorful vegetable skewers, whether you want a wonderful combination like pineapple and cucumber, or a classic recipe like beef and onion, the little chef standing in the back kitchen will definitely bake according to your requirements.

If fine people despise these too rough and crazy, they are not worthy of their noble stomachs that belong to the rich.

Then the more expensive seafood area over there will definitely satisfy their demand for endless food.

The crab meat of the disassembled king crab is filled in the round loofah, and the light and delicious truffle is poured on top.

It belongs to the freshly caught tuna in the bay today. The reddish and fine-textured fish meat is only cleaned, and it is served on the table as transparent as thin wings under the treatment of the master knife.

You can take enough at a time and put it in front of the cashier for the chefs to deal with. It should be fried or fried, or you can be as particular about eating a French meal.

First take the cold cuts and ready-to-eat snacks, and after using them elegantly, then go for the foods that need to be processed and belong to the tapas that need heat treatment.

No matter which one it is, it is very convenient to calculate the price.

On the top of each snack, one to n toothpicks will be inserted according to the price of the ingredients.

After you have finished eating all the food, the waiters who pay the bill can know how much you have eaten by counting the sticks specially made by their restaurant for pricing.

The price of a stick is not expensive, the price is between 1-2 euros.

A girl with a small appetite can be satisfied with 4-5 snacks. Of course, this is calculated according to our appetite, this calculation method is not applicable to Qin Guan.

He didn't see that he was full of wine and food, clutching his slightly protruding belly, had he waited five minutes at the table just for the waiter to count the sticks?

For the first time, Wang Liying on the side wanted to find a crack in the ground because her artist's food was edible.

It was Qin Guan who ate three times the amount of an adult, making the Spanish buddies who were not good at counting dazzled.

53, 52, 53...

‘Guests, you have eaten a total of 53 skewers this time, and the total meal cost is 53 euros, thank you! '

Um? What seems wrong? do not care!

After hastily paying the money, Wang Liying left the Spanish restaurant without looking back, dragging Qin Guan whose eyes were still fixed on the dishes he hadn't tried yet.

If he stays for a while longer, according to Qin Guan's character, he insists on trying all the snacks here after digesting his food.

If this happened, it would be difficult to say whether Qin Guan would still be able to attend the San Sebastian International Film Festival tomorrow.

Otherwise, a reliable manager needs to be on Qin Guan's side all the time.

Xue Wanyi, who has already shifted the focus of her work to the fashion industry, has found her perfect successor.

In Spain in July, the sun is shining brightly like the brightest gold, sprinkled with the richest color on the white shell bay.

Although the influence of San Sebastian is not as strong as the three major European film festivals, this international film festival, which is not at the top and wanders around the front line, has a history of more than 50 years.

In the small European film circle, it still has a certain influence.

In the same way, like Berlin, Venice and Cannes, it has an unwarranted preference for mainland Chinese movies.

Long before Xu Jinglei took the film to the competition, there was a senior Tranquility in China who won the San Sebastian Silver Shell Queen Award in 1994.

It is because of this that Xu Jinglei has great confidence in her films. (To be continued.)
