The ship that Qiao Li contacted them is now in Esmeralda Port, but is currently unloading.

If you want to wait until all the goods are unloaded, it may take several days.

So Chen Rui and the others simply drove straight to Quito.

Quito is the capital of Ecuador and the largest city in the country.

This city is known as the museum of the Andes and was built on the remaining veins of the Andes.

It’s more than 2,000 meters tall, and it’s the only city in the world that has the equator crossing it.

It is precisely because of this special Dettol environment that this city has a unique climate.

There is no summer or winter throughout the year, and the temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees all year round.

This temperature, coupled with the humid and rainy environment, also creates an extremely pleasant city.

Although there are several cities in China that are known as Spring City, they really have to be compared with this city.

There is really no city with a more comfortable temperature than this city.

Chen Rui and the others left the border inspection station in the morning and arrived in Quito before dark in the afternoon.

Looking at the city in the sunset, it feels so comfortable.

Compared with several cities in Colombia, this city has a similar style, but there are obvious differences.

Medellin and Cali in Colombia are both cities built on mountains, but the slope is not as steep as Quito.

The style of this mountain city in Quito is very similar to our Shuangqing. Many buildings in the city are built from low to high.

Even a street can lead from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

Moreover, there are obviously not as many high-rise buildings in this city as there are in Medellin and Cali.

There are generally three- or four-story houses in the city, and the tallest buildings are the churches with steeples.

There are many white buildings throughout the city, which makes Quito look much cleaner than Medellin and Cali.

This is the difference between Quito, Medellin, and Cali.

If there is any difference between Colombia and Colombia, it would probably be the people from this country.

The population of this country, and the proportion of Indian ancestry, is obviously larger than that of Colombia.

Unlike Colombia, the majority of the population is a mixture of whites and local Indians.

In this country, the Indian ethnic group is the majority.

There are also mixed races, but fewer than in Colombia.

In other aspects, including the language spoken and eating habits, Chen Rui feels that they are similar.

The three of them followed the map's guidance and found a hotel in the city center.

After checking in, the three of them went downstairs, ready to experience the customs of Ecuador.

Now that you’re here, you can’t miss out on tasting the local delicacies.

Karen followed the recommendations on the Internet and quickly found a local restaurant.

And the specialty of this restaurant is actually the roasted suckling pig that they had eaten in Colombia.

However, as soon as they entered, the hotel overwhelmed them.

Because as soon as you enter the hotel, there is a huge stove right at the entrance of the hotel.

The shape of this stove is very similar to the pit stoves used to bake naan in our border provinces.

They are all built underground, but this furnace is larger, about three meters in diameter.

On top is a huge curved iron cover, which is covered with many small holes.

There are many iron drills with a length of more than one meter inserted into the holes surrounding the road.

And there are golden roasted suckling pigs stuck on these iron rods...

This is how they bake it!

This is really a knife in the butt, and it opened people's eyes.

But the advantage of grilling this way is that as soon as you enter the store, you can smell the fragrant barbecue aroma.

And in addition to the aroma of meat, there is also the aroma of fruit wood burning in the stove.

The three of them found a place to sit down and each ordered an appetizer, lemon soup first.

After a while, the store brought them a bowl of soup, and also gave each person a bowl of fried golden crisps.

It was also the first time for Chen Rui to eat Ecuadorian food and he had no idea what they were.

I can only watch the guests at the next table, how they eat, and then imitate them.

This lemon shrimp soup is stewed with open-back prawns in butter. Squeeze some lemon juice into the soup before eating.

Then eat it with the yellow crispy chips.

If you have a small appetite, just this bowl of soup can fill you up.

The price of this soup is not expensive. If converted, it only costs more than a dozen RMB coins.

But the food given was really sufficient, just ten open-backed shrimps were given.

After eating, Chen Rui became a little doubtful about life. Isn’t it free to eat shrimp in Ecuador?

But when I think about it, this stuff seems to be abundant in other people's fishing grounds.

And not only do they have it in the fishing grounds, but they also breed it in large quantities themselves, so this thing seems really inexpensive to them.

As for the yellow crisps, he didn't know until he took a bite.

It turned out to be fried banana chips...

At first he thought they were potato chips until he took a bite.

This taste...how should I put it? It's sweet, fragrant, and crispy.

But bananas are a high-calorie food. If you fry them again, Chen Rui will feel a little tired in an instant.

"Haha, eat it a few times and you'll get used to it."

"It seems that only Ecuador in South America likes to eat this way. Who allowed them to be rich in bananas?"

"The locals even nicknamed themselves the Country of Bananas, referring to their specialty."

Nelson on the other side seemed to have noticed Chen Rui's surprise and explained to him with a smile.

Although he was never stationed in Ecuador, he was stationed in Colombia for several years.

Therefore, he still understands some characteristics of the surrounding countries.

Although the fried banana slices were delicious, Chen Rui didn't dare to eat too much.

After only taking a few bites, I turned all my attention to the bowl of shrimp soup.

Just after finishing the last open-back shrimp, their main meal was served.

Roasted suckling pig set meal, but this time they didn't order roasted suckling pig.

Instead, I ordered a set meal similar to rice bowl.

There is no big round plate, except for rice, accompanying vegetables, and dipping sauces.

It's just a big piece of freshly cut roast suckling pig.

This is not like in China, where each person is given five, six, seven or eight yuan, and everything is done as soon as you feel like it.

This rice bowl is a real big piece cut off for you.

For example, the piece on Chen Rui's plate is the rib part of the suckling pig.

This part of the ribs happens to be the best part, with four large ribs.

He estimated that it weighed about two kilograms.

This amount, even in the United States, is quite astonishing.

And the price of such a large plate, converted into soft sister coins, is less than thirty yuan.
