Chapter 236: Desert Kingdom
The Desert Kingdom, a small country located on the edge of the Desert Garden, existed before the Desert Garden was cut off by the Valley of Dust, and is a must-stop for many adventurers to enter the Desert Garden. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is said to be a kingdom, but in fact it is just a huge town, and the total population is only a few tens of thousands. Because it was completely unaffected by the war, everything was in order.
There are domed buildings everywhere, which reminds Lin Su of the Islamic architectural style on earth.
As soon as he set foot on the land of the desert kingdom, the heat wave had already swept towards Lin Su. Seeing that the surrounding residents were wearing headscarves and cloaks, Lin Su also went to a nearby store to buy a set.
"This guest is coming to the Desert Garden for the first time, right?" the owner of the seller chatted as he picked out things for Lin Su.
"Can you see that, too?"
"Of course, people who have been here aren't as unprepared as you are. In addition to headscarves and capes, we also sell all kinds of desert goods, so why don't you pick a few?" said the owner enthusiastically.
"There's something there, let me see. Lin Su didn't feel that he needed any equipment, but it was like buying souvenirs for travel, and he always felt that something was missing if he didn't sell a few things here.
After experiencing the embarrassment of lack of money before, Lin Su finally found the bank card he had handled in the gourmet casino, and there were still tens of millions on the card, which was enough for him to squander for a while.
"Please come with me. The boss led Lin Su to another room, where the walls and counters were filled with all kinds of equipment, from sunglasses and water bottles to machetes and firearms.
In fact, the most in-demand are knives and firearms, which are very dangerous not to carry with you in the desert.
There was a label next to each piece of equipment, and Lin Su glanced at it, the price was about four times that of the outside. Compared with the sky-high instant noodles and sky-high mineral water that Lin Su encountered in the scenic spot in his previous life, it is not a black heart, after all, these things need to be transported in from outside by plane.
Lin Su took a fancy to a delicate silver kettle, and bought it directly without a counteroffer.
"This guest, this is a sunscreen given to you by our store, please keep it. After making a deal, the boss happily handed Lin Su a can of sunscreen. In the desert area, sunscreen is an indispensable daily commodity, and every household has a lot of stock.
"Thanks. Lin Su was not polite, and directly put the wine jug and sunscreen into the backpack. "Boss, where are there rental rides around here?"
Hearing Lin Su's inquiry, the boss said embarrassedly: "Originally, there were many places to rent camels in the town, but a group of people came in the morning and rented all the camels. At present, there are no camels that can be rented out except for the camels that are kept by the families for their own use. ”
Listening to the boss's description, Lin Su immediately thought of the expedition team he had met before, and those people were really wealthy.
"There's another town five kilometres north of here, where you might be able to rent camels. ”
"Since there isn't, forget it. "I wanted to experience the famous water storage camels in the desert garden, but I didn't expect it to be so unlucky.
The Water Storage Camel is a type of camel that inhabits desert gardens and is captured at level 2. He is tall and can reach up to 4 meters in length and up to 3 meters tall. The camel's maximum capacity is to be able to store about 2000 litres of water in the hump and to release the water from the tap on their flank whenever and wherever they want.
In desert areas where water is scarce, water storage camels are used as highly mobile water storage vehicles and are indispensable companions when traveling in the hot desert.
Lin Su didn't plan to go to another town to ask, since those people were able to rent all the water storage camels in this town, it was obviously not bad for money, and there should be no camels left in nearby towns.
Leaving the store just now, Lin Su plunged headlong into the local restaurant. The Desert Kingdom is located on the edge of the desert, and it has developed a very different diet from the rest of the world.
The charred naan is stuffed with a few pieces of sliced roast lamb, and it tastes so good. There are also many dairy products of all kinds, and yogurt and whipped cream have an excellent taste. Lin Su's favorite is the crispy lamb chops here, which are as tender and crispy as its name suggests, and very delicious.
In addition, Lin Su also found that many of the dishes here were sweet, and those dim sum were breaded with a thick layer of sugar.
"Boss, did you also bring the sugar here from outside?" Lin Su asked curiously.
"No, the sugar was taken from the desert. There's a brown sugar desert about thirty kilometers from here, and all our sugar comes from there. And the rice you eat, these are from the rice desert a little bit closer. ”
Speaking of the desert, the boss's chatter box was opened. He introduced Lin Su to all kinds of deserts, among which the most important ones for the people of the Desert Kingdom were those food deserts, and the inhabitants here had long obtained sufficient food from the food deserts.
In addition, resource deserts such as the Carboniferous Desert also provide valuable survival materials for the residents, so the people who live here are very in awe of the desert.
After tasting the dishes in the store, Lin Su took out the devil potatoes he had picked. I asked the boss for a barbecue grill and a few steel drills, and began to roast potatoes to amusement himself.
The devil potatoes are washed and put on a steel drill, and then the potatoes are cut into spirals using the knife method and placed directly on the grill without any seasoning.
After a few minutes, the aroma came out. When the devil potatoes were baked golden brown, Lin Su immediately picked them up and took a bite.
"It's delicious, it tastes like the potatoes from the Sky Vegetable Garden, and I thought this kind of fast-growing potatoes would taste bad." Lin Su thought with some surprise.
Devil potatoes are a great ingredient, but unfortunately the plant itself is too dangerous to promote.
"Taste this, young man, I'll invite you. The restaurant owner put a bowl of smoothie in front of Lin Su.
Lin Su picked up the bowl of smoothie in front of him and used a spoon to put the lump that seemed to be made of sand grains into his mouth. With a single bite, the crisp smoothie melts into a cool liquid.
Unlike the outside world, which is made by breaking up the ice, the smoothie here is made from a special type of sand called a "smoothie", which does not melt in the sun and only melts when stimulated.
"Ice cold, with a refreshing sweetness, it tastes good. Lin Su took a big bite of it, "It's really a luxury to eat a smoothie in such a hot environment." ”
"This smoothie is also a specialty of the Desert Garden?" Lin Su asked, looking up.
"That's right, it's an ingredient that can only be tasted in the Desert Kingdom. The boss said proudly.
"One more!"
……
After eating four portions of smoothie in one go, Lin Su finally put down the bowl in his hand with satisfaction.
After Lin Su checked out and left, the boss immediately put up a sign at the door that was temporarily closed. After opening the store for decades, it was the first time he had met such a person who could eat so much, and all the ingredients prepared in the store were all eaten.
