Chapter 284 [Fairytale City]

Finland has always been misunderstood by the world, many people think that Finland is close to the Arctic Circle, the weather must be very cold, and going out to pee will be frozen on a small **, but I don't know that the electric light is on, but in fact, it is not. Due to the influence of the North Atlantic Current, most cities in Finland are much warmer than other parts of the same dimension, and even at this time of year, they are not too cold, at least there is no need to worry about damaging catkins and small leaves.

Johann is very discerning, the choice of retirement is Finland's famous fairy tale city of Porvoo, this ancient city set up in the thirteenth century has a unique geographical location and strong folk customs, strong Finnish men make the invaders of the past and present daunting, even the SS of the Third Reich have suffered a big loss in their hands, and never dared to enter lightly.

Strong, passionate and tender, the Finns are armoured warriors and warm-hearted poets who believe in life, love life, care for nature, and live authentically.

Anyone who has ever been to Porvoo will sigh that there really is a fairy tale in life. Standing on the lighthouse of the church in this small town, overlooking the whole city, you can see green waves and red walls everywhere, the river in the city is like a piece of green, with the wind swinging clear waves, just like the clouds in the fine jade, on the river is full of Nordic style of warped boats, on the boat there will always stand Finnish fishermen wearing pointed fur hats, red vests, and pointed shoes, behind them, there is often a figure or a sign or bloated woman, with golden hair tied into small braids. Wear a thick, colourful cotton dress and sing in Finnish.

Windmills, mills, harps and red houses with pointed roofs. These scenes, which seem to only appear in fairy tales, surprise children and make adults smile. Who hasn't had a childhood, when they haven't sat on their mother's lap and listened to stories?

Xiao Yezi jumped and laughed, one moment fell into the soft arms of the catkins, and the other time she snatched into Zhou Yi's arms, and from time to time she looked up at Tang Bao a few times, he, the expression was very clear. Obviously, he accused Tang Bao of, such a fun place, people won't regret coming, weird. It's just not as good as Uncle Zhou.

"Don't look at you like that, Uncle Tang, little ghost, the place we are going to is an ancient castle on the mountain, it is dark everywhere, maybe there are vampires"

"Huh?" Zhang Zhao has respected ghosts and gods the most in his life, and he doesn't care what vampire werewolves are, if there is one in the real world, then it won't rule over mankind sooner? Hearing Tang Bao say this, he subconsciously shrunk his neck, and his face changed.

"!" Zhou Yi glared at Tang Bao fiercely: "Look at your beating nature." To scare children like this, it is better to watch goldfish. Ye Zi don't be afraid, don't say that there are no vampires in this world at all, but there really are, we are all descendants of Huaxia Dragon, and we have dragon qi to protect our bodies, and we specialize in overcoming these monsters. Saying that, he also laughed, Tang Bao and Zhang Zhao estimated that they had watched too many vampire movies, and they had watched too much martial arts and Xiuzhen in their college days. The root of this disease has not been cleaned up yet, what are you doing with children?

Liu Fu is a girl after all, and she also got goosebumps when Tang Bao said it, and couldn't help but ask Liu Ke: "Mr. Liu, when will your cousin and niece arrive?"

To participate in the secret auction of Lord John, it is not possible without an acquaintance's introduction, Liu Ke made an appointment with his cousin and niece, met in Porvoo, and then followed her professor to the Lord's castle, Liu Wu actually hoped to live in the city today, and was fooled by Tang Bao like this, she felt that living in the castle was very unreliable.

"Their flight is delayed, I'm afraid it won't arrive until tomorrow, and today it seems that we are going to live in the city" Liu Ke announced a little helplessly after making the call, feeling very faceless in front of Tang Bao.

"Really, it's great" halfway through the words, Liu Fu hurriedly covered her mouth, and the always steady sister paper was actually speechless under the excitement.

"Hehe, then find a hotel to stay, this will definitely become our most wonderful memory" Zhou Yi glanced at the catkins, smiled and touched the head of the little leaf: "Ye Zi, do you say that today we live in a hotel by the mountain, or in the center of the city, or by the water?"

Many adults think that cultivating children is to take piano, violin, and accordion together, and foreign language composition, painting, and calligraphy classes are fully opened, so they designate a genius child to come, but they don't know that it is the rhythm of Zhongyong, not to mention that not every child has Fang Zhongyong's talent. It is not important whether the child can become a talent, the important thing is to be able to live happily, the parents who really have the vision should cultivate the child's interest in life from an early age, of course, this is not a petty bourgeoisie, that is too expensive than too expensive, but the correct attitude towards life and a different perception, children do not lack imagination and find beauty, feel the energy of beauty, what is lacking is just guidance.

Zhou Yi is now following the good path.

"Well, Uncle Zhou, what is the weather tomorrow?"

Xiao Yezi thought about it very seriously, and instead of making a decision immediately, he asked Zhou Yi a question.

"Tomorrow's weather?" the adults were dumbfounded, what was this little girl thinking?

"Tomorrow? It's a coincidence, there's snow tomorrow. ”

"Really?" Xiao Yezi's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the distant mountain: "Uncle Zhou, Ye Zi wants to live there"

Everyone had just crossed the street in the center of the city, looked in the direction of Xiao Yezi's finger, and passed the towering cross of God~Church in the distance, only to see that there was indeed a hill in the distance, with several big windmills on it, and under the windmills were several red houses, which looked like a small hotel.

Few tourists in Porvoo will choose those model hotels, and those who really enjoy life usually choose these small rustic hotels to stay, because many of these small hotels are family-run, so each has its own characteristics, and it is very warm, and you can not only receive a more warm reception here. And being able to deeply appreciate the customs of the Finnish people, this four-limbed people is not simple-minded. Just live pure, simple, and straight to the point, just like their favorite spirits.

Climb aboard a warp-tail boat. Wandering from the city to the foot of this mountain, Finland's natural environment is well maintained, the streets of the city are outrageously clean, the mountains are pristine and sighing, there are no artificially carved stone stairs, probably Finland is afraid of hurting the skin of the mountains. On the way to the top of the mountain, there is only a long wooden bridge with the bottom overhanging, supported by countless round wooden piles, or this cannot be called a bridge at all. Instead, it should be called a wooden road.

This wooden road is somewhat similar to the plank road in Shuzhong, but it is much safer and cleaner, and when the bridge is repaired, it is not a straight line, but a zigzag and curved, as if a naughty snake is hidden in the dense jungle, and the path chosen is also the most beautiful place, not only can you see the oldest Finnish pine trees, but also often have clear streams flowing under the wooden bridge, and there are winter birds perched at the water's edge. There were naughty little squirrels jumping around in the forest, and Zhou Yi began to regret that he didn't bring Jin Yangyang here, and this place seemed to be more suitable for it.

Watching the scenery hovering up the mountain along the way, it was neither cold nor tired, even Xiao Yezi and Zhang Zhao, the fat man, Xiao Yezi even caught a little squirrel lingering on the wooden bridge road, the squirrel here is not afraid of people at all, because Finns love animals almost more than they love their elderly parents. It has nothing to do with morality, in most countries in Europe. Young people are not in the habit of supporting the elderly, because the state welfare is good enough.

Walking through a lush pine forest, Zhou Yi and the others finally came to the top of the mountain, and looked at it up close, those windmills were even more huge, and even blocked some sunlight, casting a big black shadow on the ground, and now Zhou Yi began to understand why Don Quixote challenged the windmill, this thing has a greater chance of being mistaken for a monster in the eyes of neurotics.

The inn has Finnish characters in Finnish, and no one understands what it means, but the elderly owner and his young daughter are fluent in English, and there is no barrier to communication, and the main hall of the inn is the check-in and dining room, and there are no recipes, and there are three pictures of the food painted on the walls: smoked lamb shank, mashed potatoes and fruit salad, and the main food is hard bread, which is as big as a grinding plate, and you have to cut it off with a knife to eat it one by one.

The soup changes every day, there are potato soup, corn scalded and all kinds of broth, rough and some like the food of the old Russian Maozi, but this kind of food has another taste, at the moment there are a few passengers sitting in the store, there is a hot potato and beef puree in the black pan in front of them, holding a hard bread that has just been cut into slices, a mouthful of meat puree and a mouthful of bread, and then staring at the eyes and drinking a mouthful of hot soup, with relish, Tang Bao'er, a gentleman with fine clothes and food, swallowed and spat at the mouth.

In fact, if you are hungry, anyone who climbs a few hundred meters of the mountain will also eat Ma Ma Xiang, what kind of gourmet, what kind of picky food, that is all used to.

"It's so cool, I can eat one of this bread alone. Pointing to the small bread in the car, Tang Bao's mouth was full of saliva, and after Zhang Zhao sat down, he anxiously called the owner's daughter: "HI, gogo." His English was really not good, and after calling someone over, he waited for Zhou Yi to order food.

"Welcome to your guests from afar, would you like to try our Mai Duo Duo?" greeted the beautiful girl warmly, Mai Duo is the kind of hard bread.

"We want three," Tang Bao drooled.

"Hold you to death. Ignore him, we will ask for a Mai Duo first, and each person will have a potato and beef puree, a smoked lamb leg cut and a plate to be served, and a fruit salad, and if you can, put more apple pieces."

Zhou Yi said with a smile: "And today's soup will also come to a big pot, the hotter the better." ”

"And the wine, the more strong the better. "Tang Bao has watched the Lao Maozi movie, in which Lao Maozi eats mashed potatoes and drinks high vodka, which seems to be quite good.

"Well, I'll be here soon, do you gentlemen want housing?"

"Of course, it's cleaner. Zhou Yi nodded with a smile.

"Our room was all as clean as an angel's heart"

The girl smiled: "There will be snow tomorrow, do you gentlemen want a room with a view? You will definitely like it, but the price will be higher."
