Chapter 223 - 219: Damaged Drive Shaft
Although it was called a dinner, the food that could be put on the table was far from sumptuous.
There was a variety of meats, but they were mainly preserved products like salted meats and sausages, lacking fresh meat.
As for vegetables and fruits, they could almost be described as rare; except for some fresh vegetables and fruits in front of Perfikot, everyone else mostly had only meat. The only side dishes were some pickled cabbage and potatoes, which were particularly good for storage.
Seeing this, Perfikot couldn’t help but ask Foster, "Grandpa Fu, is the territory’s food supply very tight?"
Perfikot’s question was understandable; given the scale of food she had stored in the warehouse before leaving, there should certainly be more than just a hint of fresh green vegetables on the table.
Although what she mainly stored in the fjord camp warehouse was indeed various meat products along with a large amount of flour and potatoes, it wasn’t as if there were no vegetable reserves at all.
She clearly remembered that she had arranged for the Flying Airship she built to stay in the Northern Territory, specifically to purchase fresh vegetables from the New Continent and transport them over, with special instructions to purchase vegetables that are good for storage.
This was to allow the people of the Northern Territory to eat fresh vegetables even in winter to supplement their dietary needs.
However, looking at the food on the dinner table, Perfikot couldn’t help but suspect that something had gone wrong at some step. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be the only one with green vegetables in front of her.
After all, this was the dinner of the Count of the North, and with Foster’s professionalism as a noble butler, he wouldn’t make such a mistake that would go against Perfikot’s identity.
