I! Cleaner!
Chapter 731: The Land of Ice and Its Local Specialties
When returning from the Northern Kingdom, should I bring some local specialties to Veronica?
Because of my own reasons, I had to interrupt the wedding halfway, and Veronica, as the queen, rarely asked me for something, so Leon naturally attached great importance to her small request.
From hurriedly leaving the banquet hall, to rushing to the boarding tower with the female cleaner, and finally boarding the airship to the North, Leon was still thinking about this question.
As a human kingdom located at the northernmost side of the entire continent, and even a small part bordering the polar regions, the Northern Kingdom of Aixito is extremely vast, but at least 70% of it is ice fields, so it is also called the Ice Field Kingdom.
Or it can be said the other way around, because those ice fields that are not suitable for human settlement, thus named "Ice Field Kingdom Aixito", is the official name of the Northern Kingdom, and the "Northern" Kingdom is just a common name obtained because of its geographical location.
And if you want to say what the iconic specialties of this kingdom located at the northernmost end of mankind are... it seems that there are really no specialties.
After recalling some natural conditions of the Northern Kingdom that he had read in William's geography book, Lyon could not help scratching the back of his head in worry.
According to the book, the climate and environment of the Northern Kingdom are extremely bad, and more than half of the land is covered with ice and snow almost all year round.
The winter there is cold and long, and the summer is cold and short. Nearly 30% of the land is permanently frozen. Even in the hottest summer, the average temperature is basically below 0℃, and the rainfall is also very rare...
Or to put it more bluntly, the word rainfall is redundant in the Northern Kingdom. There is no need to calculate the scattered rainfall that only falls occasionally during the hottest seven or eight days in summer.
In addition, in addition to low temperatures and snowfall, since a large area is a flat ice field without any shelter, the Northern Kingdom often has terrible storms that blow from west to east and run through the entire border, at least fourteen or fifteen times a year.
The average wind speed of this super-large storm is basically 20 to 30 meters per second, but in some special cases, it can even roll hundreds of meters in one second. If there happens to be a heavy snow, the combined snowstorm can really be called devastating, basically destroying everything it sees.
Even the giant mammoths that are unique to the Northern Kingdom and weigh nearly ten tons on average will be blown to the ground when encountering a snowstorm of this scale. As for ordinary people in the Northern Kingdom...
People in the Northern Kingdom are not Shabi, how can they live on such a deadly ice field?
Although the area over there is extremely vast and there are not a few materials and minerals, the places suitable for human habitation are actually quite limited, even if you risk digging an ice cellar underground.
After all, with the extremely bad climate of the Northern Kingdom, as long as there is a snowstorm at night, maybe when you wake up the next morning, there will be a three to five meter thick layer of snow directly on the door of the ice cellar, and you may suffocate to death before you can dig it out.
As for the northern people with brain problems, they were completely wiped out by the snowstorm eight hundred years ago. As for the remaining northern people with normal brain problems, most of them chose to live in the mountains, just like the capital of the Northern Kingdom, Rehe City.
Even though the risks of living in the mountains are also not small, and there will be some disasters every now and then, it is better than waking up and seeing the whole family ascend to heaven, whether it is people, horses, cattle, sheep, tents, houses, or all the property dancing in the wind...
...
In short, in such a country with a climate that is too wild and even normal life is difficult, naturally everything is aimed at practicality, and it is difficult to have any exquisite and gorgeous unique specialties.
Liquor, bacon, candy, sausages, biscuits... I feel that those who are a little famous are basically all kinds of food and drinks, as well as a series of foods with terrifyingly high calories, and Veronica is definitely not short of these things, so it is not worth it to bring them back from a long distance.
Although I felt that she would be happy to accept whatever I brought back, since she had asked, I must give her something more meaningful...
Well... I can bring some strong liquor to the director, she will definitely like it.
After taking out the small notebook and charcoal pencil he carried with him and writing "strong liquor" on it, Lyon, who was sitting by the porthole of the airship, couldn't help but turn his head to look at the female cleaner next to him.
If he really wanted to get some local specialties, it would be the most convenient way to ask her, a local pig in the North, directly. However, Veronica had just had a little temper with him because of her. What if she really liked him and had some other thoughts?
"Why do you keep looking at me?"
After noticing the look in Lyon's eyes, the female cleaner who was eating the airship meal couldn't help but look stern, and subconsciously protected the fruit pizza on her small table.
But soon, she seemed to remember something, and hesitantly put down her hand, then gritted her teeth and picked up the knife, hardened her heart, cut off a small piece of pizza, and picked it up with a fork on Leon's plate.
"That's all! I'm not full!"
"..."
Veronica, you really think too much this time...
Looking at the giant pizza in front of her, which is bigger than the lid of the pot and has to be stacked into three layers, and then looking at the small piece of pizza on his plate that is not much bigger than a palm, Leon's face suddenly turned black.
To be honest, she can't possibly look down on me! I dare say that in this guy's eyes, I am not as attractive as a pizza... It's a pineapple pizza!
"Eat it yourself."
After pushing back the sticky pizza that had at least three times more cheese in disgust, Leon looked at her surprisingly large lunch and couldn't help but complain:
"Where did you get this stuff? My tablecloths are not even as big as your pizza!"
"Of course I brought it myself!"
After forking the pizza that Leon sent back and stuffing it into her mouth, the female cleaner said happily:
"Although the food from your kingdom is exquisite and delicious, when it comes to filling your stomach, the food from our northern territory is the most suitable!"
Indeed, there is nothing wrong with that... Apart from you, I have never seen anyone else be able to swallow this cheese that is spread thicker than the table board.
After unable to help but curse the northern food culture in his heart, Leon glanced at the three branch directors who were closing their eyes to rest on the other side of the airship aisle, and then asked the female cleaner:
"Meili, do you have any specialties in the north?"
"Of course there are, and there are a lot of them!"
The female cleaner nodded when she heard this, then swallowed the pizza in her mouth, and took stock with her fingers enthusiastically:
"There are many kinds of jerky, but I only remember the most famous ones, such as snow mammoth jerky, ice cave rhinoceros jerky, spiny elephant smoked ribs, thick-hooved donkey paws, saber-toothed tiger whip..."
