The two children picked up the black bread almost as fast as they could, and seeing their serious and focused appearance, Duluth suddenly regretted why he had torn the black bread so much just now, and the two children even tried to collect the broken bread crumbs and put them in their pockets.

Thinking of this, Duluth no longer had the heart to rebuke the profiteer, and once again took out several copper coins and gave them to the woman, and bought another piece of black bread.

"Don't pick it up, you two, give you this new brown bread, but be careful when you eat it...... Well, forget you know these things better than I do......" Duluth stroked the heads of the two children and handed them the brown bread.

An older child took the black bread and almost ran back to his house to put the black bread, and the other child asked with a pair of envious eyes, "Are you the lord of the neighborhood?"

"It's not. Duluth smiled and asked, "Have you ever seen a lord who nibbles on black bread?"

This sentence was originally said by Duluth laughing at himself, but he didn't expect the child to nod seriously: "Black bread is what nobles and lords usually eat! I heard that they can eat black bread every day, and it is black bread without these sawdust and pebbles, and they eat every meal!"

The child deliberately emphasized the words "eat every meal" to show the luxury of those nobles and lords.

In his eyes, eating pure black bread at every meal, such food is particularly satisfying, and it is indeed a life that only nobles can live, and even those ordinary knights are not able to eat these at once.

……

In fact, although knights represent light, force, and nobility in the eyes of later generations, in this Middle Ages, living conditions were far less luxurious than people imagined, and sleeping on hay beds and eating a meal or a thin meal were commonplace.

Dry nature is black bread, which is the staple food of the aristocracy, and Duluth is relatively lucky, he bought freshly baked black bread, which can still be bitten open, and has a fluffy aroma. But for those nobles in the Middle Ages, after this black bread was cold, it was like the military food "light cake" that could be stoned to death on the battlefield in China, it was so hard that if it was eaten dry, it was estimated that a few teeth would be knocked out.

The correct way to eat brown bread is to break the black bread and cook gruel.

In Yingdao's European medieval background light "Wolf and Spices", the male protagonist is reluctant to eat bread directly when he has the conditions, but cooks gruel to drink, and the black bread with the male protagonist's BUFF does not dare to face the hard anus, you can imagine how hard it is.

If you make black bread in the shape of a geoduck, I guess women in Europe will definitely go crazy about it.

……

The food of the common people was even more miserable, and it was made up of rough wheat flour in bowls, which was not considered flour at all, and was mixed with hot water to make a paste.

When it is good, it will be put in some wild vegetables, salted fish, and meat, which sounds like more oil and water, but the cooking skills of European women are obviously not comparable to that of Oriental women, and a bunch of things stewed with wheat flour become the "pig food" that Duluth smelled just now.

Of course, those kings and top nobles naturally don't eat these crude foods, they eat white bread.

The biggest difference between white bread and brown bread is that it takes a lot of time and effort to sift through the bran, and this fluffy white bread made from fermentation was called "Pendemain" by the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages, meaning refined and holy bread.

The story of "Water Margin" takes place in the Huizong period, which is around 1100 AD, if Wu Dalang brings his own food guy to Europe at the same time, with that cage of steamed buns, it is estimated that he can directly meet the Pope.

On the next level, there is the "Queen's Bread", a kind of ultra-high-end luxury made with refined flour with eggs, milk, honey and vanilla, and brewer's yeast instead of ordinary dough, carefully fermented and baked, which even the king could not eat from time to time.

According to a medieval epic, a king after a victory in a battle rewarded his army with a lot of barbecue and wine, which everyone was accustomed to. Then he rewarded each of the bravest soldiers with a piece of "Queen's Bread", but the others were envied to death......

Wu Dalang's steamed buns, if you add some red dates, raisins, and play with some tricks in it, it is estimated that it will be equivalent to the top other flavor of "queen bread" at that time......

……

These white breads, queen breads, and even black breads were too far away for the common people, like dreams.

Therefore, the little one who got two black breads was happy to follow Duluth and introduce him to the neighborhood while smiling as he ate the "delicacies" that Duluth had bought for him.

In this town, there are many medieval foods for players to experience, such as ......

Steamed apples, roasted pears, stewed plums, and if you're a little more particular, add salt and pepper!

"The doctors said that fruits are cold food, and if you want to eat them, you have to cook them, but it really can't be done, and you can add some hot spices, and low-class civilians like us can only eat them raw...... But most of the vegetables are going to be eaten raw, and the nobles will eat them with gravy, and I don't know what kind of taste it is......" The child excitedly took a steamed apple and ate it with relish.

Duluth also took a steamed apple and tried it, and found that the taste was actually good, the steaming apple pulp in the mouth, in such a cold winter weather, it was definitely a pleasure, and the best thing was that there was still a original apple sour fragrance in the steamed apple, which made people full of relish.

It's just that he still has some taste when he eats steamed apples, and the other roasted pears and stewed plums have eliminated all the original taste of the fruits, and they don't taste fruity at all, but they are like boiled taro, and the taste is a little more refreshing.

As for the way to eat these fruits and vegetables, Duluth did not find it as strange as ordinary people.

In these European regions with relatively high latitudes, the weather tends to be cold, and in such a situation, eating these fruits cooked does give people a reassuring taste, perhaps the ancestors were cold at the beginning of the cold food, the stomach was cold, and it was naturally considered "unhealthy, cold invasion of the body", forming this "cooked fruit" atmosphere, which is understandable.

And those vegetables are naturally not as cool as fruits, and the nutritional value of raw food is higher, which has been scientifically verified in reality.
