If it were in China, a city of the size of Chascomus would be at most a town, but in Argentina, Chascomus is actually a city, and a medium-sized one at that.
In Argentina, a country with vast land and sparse population, a city that can accommodate more than 40,000 people is definitely considered medium-sized.
However, this city is a little different from other cities in Argentina, mainly because it is too comfortable.
There is not a single building in the entire city that is over 30 meters tall. The tallest building is the St. Vincent de Paul General Hospital building in the city center. However, even that hospital building is only over 20 meters tall and has five floors...
If you look down on this city from the air, it looks like a Chinese Go board. The entire city is divided into small grids about one hundred meters long and wide by densely packed streets. These small grids are arranged very neatly one after another, forming the overall trunk of the city.
Walking on the street which is only five or six meters wide, there are lush trees on both sides of the road. Everywhere you look, the surrounding buildings are two-story villas full of typical Spanish style. Even the only star-rated hotel in the city is of this residential style.
Except for a few main streets running through the entire city, there are almost no roads in the entire city that are wider than ten meters, and there are very few vehicles and pedestrians on the streets, so the city seems particularly quiet.
"It's really nice here, the scenery is nice, the air is nice, and the feeling is nice, just like a resort." Gege took Yang Jing's arm and strolled on the street, looking around and praising him.
"How about it? How about buying a lakefront villa here, and then we can come here for vacation every year?"
Gege shook her head, "It's nice here, but if I stay here for too long, I'll feel lonely. And the temperature here is a bit high. Anyway, I won't come here in the summer." Gege wiped the sweat from her forehead, and Yang Jing considerately handed her two tissues.
"Yang Jing, what is there to investigate in this small town?"
"Well, how should I put it? The intelligence said that after Martin Baumann escaped to Argentina through a rat route, he lived in seclusion in this small town. However, he was later discovered, so he went to Paraguay and died there."
"Martin Baumann lived here?" Gege asked curiously.
"Well, they have lived here for almost ten years. Chris and his friends went out today to find the house where Martin Bowman lived and the library that Martin Bowman often visited."
"Ah? That guy has been dead for so many years. Is it possible that the house he lived in back then could still be preserved?" Gege asked puzzled.
Yang Jing pointed at the houses around him and said, "Do you see these houses? The youngest one is probably 70 years old, and the oldest is more than a century old. Even though these houses look new on the surface, they were all maintained or renovated later. I just said that this town has a history of more than 200 years."
"Okay, you win." Gege smiled and reached out to pull a leaf from a branch above his head and played with it in his hand.
As time approaches noon, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and the humidity is also increasing. Although Chascomús is located in a plain, it is surrounded by large and small swamps, so the air humidity here is even greater than Buenos Aires, which is located at the mouth of the La Plata River. Therefore, it is very hot and stuffy here.
After walking around outside and working up a sweat, Yang Jing simply took Gege back to the hotel. After taking a shower, Chris and the others who had gone out early in the morning also returned to the hotel.
There is a barbecue restaurant across a narrow street next to the hotel. Argentine barbecue is also very famous, so a few of us discussed and decided to eat barbecue at noon today.
This barbecue restaurant doesn't look big at the front, but it's very spacious inside. This is obviously a restaurant converted from a residential building. The entire first floor has been opened up, so it's obviously very spacious.
Maybe it was because of the hot weather, or maybe foreigners really didn’t care about lunch, so there weren’t many customers in this barbecue restaurant.
There were two beautiful girls in the store who looked, were almost identical in height and age. One was standing inside the counter and the other was standing outside the counter. When Yang Jing and his friends went in, the two sisters, who were obviously twins, were chatting happily.
Seeing Yang Jing and his group entering the store, the two girls immediately showed happy smiles on their faces. The girl standing outside the counter greeted them warmly, and then spoke a lot of enthusiastically to the leader Chris.
The official language of Argentina is Spanish. Of course, it is a little different from the Spanish spoken by the Spaniards on the other side of the ocean, but if you know Spanish, there will be absolutely no problem communicating with the locals here.
This pretty girl was speaking Spanish with an Argentinian accent. Yang Jing couldn't understand her at all, and Chris was also confused.
But Gege knows Spanish, and Bruno, Kevin Martin, Valentina and other members of the team all know Spanish, and Valentina speaks Spanish very fluently, so Yang Jing and Chris gloriously stepped down, and several people who know Spanish immediately took over.
After a chatterbox conversation, the girl took the menu with satisfaction, smiled at another beautiful woman who was not sure if she was her sister or younger sister, and then walked towards the kitchen.
