Chapter 194 First Arrival in Spain
After eleven hours of "flying in the air", Lan Shengli and Brooks have arrived at the destination of their overseas investigation, the capital of Spain - Madrid.

"Madrid~!! The yearning Iberian Peninsula, the magical continent of Europa, here I come~!!!!"

Lan Shengli, who came to Europe for the first time in his life, seemed very excited, maybe it was the same feeling as when he first came to the United States.

The two didn't stay near the airport for too long. Lan Shengli just took some photos, and quickly took a taxi to the designated hotel provided by the Clippers.

Afterwards, Lan Shengli reported Dawei's safety again.

"I really envy this guy, I thought it would be far enough for me to go to Dallas, but I didn't expect this guy to fly away directly,,,"

Byron, who was exercising with Dawei in the morning, sighed after hearing this.

"You two, don't be mad at me,,,"

Dawei was very angry.

Closer to home.

On the Madrid side, Brooks and Lan Shengli had already packed up, and it happened to be dinner time, and the two of them were going to taste the delicacies of Madrid.

With Brooks as a "tour guide", Lan Shengli doesn't have to worry about the issue of "unfamiliarity".

"I remember coming to Madrid three years ago, there is a very delicious Spanish restaurant nearby, I'm not sure about the exact location, I hope I remember correctly,,,"

Brooks brought Lan Shengli to a building complex full of narrow alleys, and said.

"Mr. Brooks, this looks more like a residential area, it doesn't look like there is a place for catering,,,"

Lan Shengli looked around, continuing to take photos while questioning.

"You don't know this. The work and rest habits of the locals in Spain are different from those in the United States. They are often used to getting ready to finish their day's work at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. After lunch, they start to rest. Of course Yes, I am referring to some freelancers, so some restaurants are also the same, they are usually closed from [-]pm to [-]pm, and will not reopen until after [-]pm, but it also depends on their mood, if They feel that they are a little tired from working during the day, or they will not open because of something,,, "

Brooks explained.

"Oh~!!, I also heard some Spanish students in Berkeley talk about this before, but I didn't expect it to be true,,,"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"It's 06:30 now. If you're lucky, you might catch up with them and open earlier. If you're unlucky, I'm afraid we won't be able to find that restaurant until it's completely dark."

Brooks sighed.

“The longer you stay, the better, the night view of Madrid is also a very precious photo~!!!”

Lan Shengli said to himself and continued to take pictures.

"Found it~!!! Here,,,"

However, Lan Shengli's wish was instantly shattered.

cried Brooks, stepping forward.

At the end of the alley, there was a small road. The street lamps on the side of the road seemed to be less than 2 meters high, and there was still a lot of water on the ground with some potholes. After walking less than ten meters, the two of them came to the door of the restaurant.

Inside the black iron fence is a large glass door with a green border. On the door is written an English word that looks like Spanish: OPEN. Finally, Lan Shengli and Brooks can confirm one thing. The restaurant is now open.

On the brown-gray wall is a large tile that looks a little out of place, with some Spanish writing on it, which seems to be the name of the restaurant.That's the only place that could be considered a "plaque".

"This is it~!?"

Lan Shengli took a few more photos, wondering.

"Yeah, we look lucky today,,,"

Brooks finished speaking with a rare smile, opened the door, and walked in.

Although Lan Shengli had a questioning expression, he followed in.

Dim lights, rustic wooden tables and chairs, abstract oil paintings covering the entire wall, the floor is made of neat black square bricks, the counter is filled with all kinds of foreign wine, and a little cat is lazy Lying on the window sill by the wall, he cleverly raised his little head to look at Lan Shengli who had just walked in and looked around, and then closed his eyes and licked his paws.

A middle-aged woman in a red sweater, a huge plaid apron, and a small white hat, who looked very handsome, was standing behind the counter, with her head bowed, writing something.

"I didn't expect there to be such a paradise in this group of buildings,,,"

Lan Shengli looked at the whole environment and sighed.

"If you don't want to be invited out, don't take pictures here, I'll order food, just sit there,,,"

Brooks whispered to Lan Shengli, and walked towards the counter after speaking.

Lan Shengli nodded, found a random seat, sat down, still looking around.

Perhaps it was not long after it "opened", and there were only Lan Shengli and Brooks in the restaurant.

"How did you know about this place~!? My God, I love this place so much~!!!"

Lan Shengli asked Brooks who returned to his seat after ordering.

"Actually, when I came to Spain for the first time, the Clippers resident European scout brought me here. You also know that I don't like to be nosy, so I didn't ask him how he knew this. Locally, he has long since left, as if he was poached by a football club in Europe,,, "

Brooks explained.

"That's it. In short, I think that if you want to understand the customs of a place, you must go to this kind of place full of fireworks. This is the most authentic Madrid and the most primitive Spain,,,,"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"It's a pity that it would be nice if I could take a few photos,,,"

Lan Shengli continued to add in a regretful tone.

"Respecting the culture here means respecting yourself, don't worry about it, I ordered a few very authentic Spanish dishes, and today I am treating guests,,,"

Brooks continued.

"My mood instantly became beautiful again, haha~!!!"

Lan Shengli said jokingly.

"Meow,,,,"

Lan Shengli's sudden laughter also scared away the little cat lying on the window sill.

Not long after, the rich lady in a plaid apron spoke Spanish like a tongue twister, and served four dishes one after another.

"Is this seafood fried rice~!?"

Lan Shengli looked at a big round plate filled with golden rice and various seafood, and asked.

“To be precise, paella,,,”

Brooks replied.

"Is this a potato pancake~!?"

Lan Shengli continued to ask as he looked at a palm-sized pancake spread with shredded potatoes.

"To be precise, Spanish potato cakes,,,"

"Is this roasted ham~!?"

Lan Shengli continued to ask.

"To be precise,"

“Spanish baked ham,,,”

This time before Brooks finished speaking, Lan Shengli rushed to answer.
