There was plenty of time, so Levi got up at six o'clock, gathered twenty sailors as escorts, and after inspecting the improvised roads and the Yuqiao River, he came back at exactly eight o'clock. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, it was not too late for breakfast, and some lazy aristocrats may have just gotten up at this time, and the chefs who had served in the aristocratic circles of the Spanish Empire certainly understood this unspoken rule, and when Levi had just reached the table by the window on the first floor, a trolley with several plates on it was gently pushed out by the servant.

"Your Majesty, today's breakfast is salt-baked sturgeon, creamy fish soup, stewed venison pieces, and honey lemon sauce."

The old servant was still serious, pushed the dining cart to Levi, and after bowing respectfully, he opened the sterling silver plates one by one, and then lightly put the food in front of Levi, and said slowly: "I hope I can satisfy your appetite today." ”

"Who can't trust a Spanish chef?"

Levi smiled, picked up a piece of baked brown sliced white bread, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and didn't care about eating it in a big gulp, according to the taste of the earth, these Spanish-style foods are still delicious, condensed Mediterranean and Western European cuisine, even if he is used to eating Chinese food, he only feels extremely sweet.

Especially this stewed venison piece, the delicate juice pops out when the knife and fork are put on it, and when you put it in your mouth, you only think it has a different flavor, Levi's brows are also slightly wrinkled, and he seems to be a little stunned: "Put the spices?" ”

"Yes, we still have some spices in stock, but we don't have much left."

The older old servant was still expressionless, and the tone of his mouth was calm and not much wavering, only paused slightly, and said with a little apology in his tone: "I have instructed the cook to minimize the amount of spices, but we currently have very few spice reserves. After a pause, he asked softly, "If you don't feel the taste is enough, we can make you a new one." ”

"No, no, no, it's delicious."

Levi waved his hand, looking at the clear amber soup of the stewed venison, the light taste tasted quite mellow, but he thought of a key point in his mind, frowned slightly, looked at the old servant and asked, "I mean, just like the food on the plate now, can our spices be grown?" ”

"Planting?" The old servant's brows were also slightly furrowed, and he repeated a sentence as if he was puzzled, and after thinking about it, he still shook his head helplessly: "It's a pity, Your Majesty, these spices have been baked and can't be used as seeds at all." ”

"It's really hard to have no seeds."

Nodding with some regret, Levi looked at the few black pepper grains in the venison soup on the plate, and his brows were still frowning thoughtfully, because he suddenly thought of this kind of black gold that had set off great wealth in the European Middle Ages.

The spice, the most representative, is the black pepper, which is now indispensable in the European dining system.

In fact, in the Middle Ages, oil was refined into weapons at most, and even when it was used as lighting equipment, it would not be suitable because of the huge smoke and toxic gases.

But this spice is different, it belongs to the backward and feudal era of the Middle Ages, and the appetite occupies the vast majority of the era of enjoying life, which can bring an important way of stimulation to the aristocracy, even if it is calculated in gold, they are still eager to rush to it, because they can only get food enjoyment through spices.

The so-called natural flavor in modern times, the original taste, in that era when spices were not yet popular, it can be said to be the synonym of clear soup with little taste, and adding a little salt and sugar is delicious in the era, how can you resist the temptation of spices?

Even in this world, even if there are ocean-going merchants from other seas who transport large quantities of spices to Yinpan Island, they are still accurately calculated in pounds in tens of digit silver coins, because the North Trumming Sea does not produce spices, and any spices that come here will be expensive luxury.

"It's a shame that we're missing a lot of money."

Levi chewed the stewed venison in his mouth, and the faint mellow taste, almost every time he bit his teeth, he could feel the wonderful taste of the spices, which made the original smooth taste of the venison more and more sublimated.

After eating the venison stewed with black pepper in two bites, Levi also dipped bread in a sauce made of sour lemon and honey, the sweet and sour taste completely let go of his appetite, and he ate the delicately cooked salt-baked sturgeon with a knife and fork, and asked casually: "What about sugar and other condiments?" ”

"This is the honey we bought in Grey Mist, and although it is more expensive, it is also within the affordable range."

The old servant bent down slightly, thoughtfully brought a glass of water to Levi and put it beside his hand, and replied at the same time: "Your Majesty, I don't know if you have noticed that in fact, there is only one sugar condiment in Gray Mist City, honey?" ”

"That's because Samar City produces high-quality honey." Frowning slightly, Li Wei also subconsciously replied, he has lived in this world for two years, of course he knows why even ordinary civilians can buy a lot of honey in Gray Mist City during the festival, the reason is in the central plain of Dayinpan Island.

The Central Plains is not only rich in farms, but also in the surrounding Central Mountains, which are also rich in resources, and have also been reclaimed for cash crops such as apple trees and hops, and have also attracted many beekeepers to raise bees in the mountains.

"Sweet is even cheaper in Samar City, and the average rich person can eat honey almost a few times a month."

The tongue licked the corners of his mouth slightly, and the sauce made of sour lemon and honey brought a sweet and sour temptation, which made Levi's brows furrow slightly, thinking about Samar City, where he had been to several times, and said: "But overall, sugar is still a high condiment, and I don't seem to have found any sugar condiments other than maltose." ”

This made Li Wei a little pensive, thinking about the situation he had encountered, and his whole face was also a little surprised, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I didn't understand such a clear thing!" ”

"Your Majesty, perhaps you have something in mind?"

The old servant also looked calm, and reached out to clean up the plate that Levi had already eaten, and at the same time still served fruit and dessert after the meal in the dining car behind him, but it was also the usual honey-boiled apple, plus two small bread snacks baked out with lemon cream sauce.

"That's right."

Levi nodded heavily, which already showed a little smile in his eyes, reached out and picked up a small bread snack and put it in his mouth, the soft and delicious feeling and sweet and sour taste also made him smile, and said softly: "Although honey and maltose are also very sweet, I don't think there is a real sugar cube in the North Whistling Sea." ”

The old servant was silent, and Levi was still chewing on the apples boiled with honey, the aroma of dessert really permeated his mouth, and also made his expression a little comfortable: "In this way, our sugar cane must be very popular!" ”

Modern sugar is indeed extracted from sugar cane, and ordinary brown sugar is just unfiltered sugarcane sugar with a large amount of residue, but as long as it is processed with a strainer and distillation technology, the white white sugar like a snow scene will appear in this world and become a classic among sugars.

On the earth, when sugarcane became the main cash crop in North America, a large amount of sugar produced by sugarcane plantations almost instantly impacted the sugar market in Europe, and even made sugar cheap and widespread in the later period.

But the primary profits are still quite considerable, especially in this island-dominated world, where normal trade is not possible at all, and all kinds of materials can only be transported through the arrival of merchant ships.

Even if Levi had not traded in the oceans and had only sold the sugar as a raw material, the profits would have been staggering, for the cheap and easy-to-grow sugar cane was now in Levi's hands.

The [Small Sugarcane Plantation] obtained by the lottery in the morning is a unique economic building in North America in the game, although it cannot be built now because the game system is standby, but after 12 hours, it will be built wherever Levi wants to be built, and it is a two-in-one farm workshop that grows sugarcane and processes sugarcane to make sugar!

Turning his head to look out the window, Levi, who had finished eating dessert, also stretched out on the chair, rubbed his neck, and asked his old servant in a good mood: "Agatha and Dinah, where are these two little girls?" ”

"They are learning aristocratic etiquette from their servants."

Bowing slightly, the considerate old servant also replied, "Do you want to call the two little girls over?" Recently, they have learned etiquette very quickly, and have basically mastered the general etiquette. ”

Touching his nose, Li Wei subconsciously looked out the window, still shook his head and refused the servant's arrangement, but just said: "Let the two of them study hard, old Morton may also like them to become two delicate noble girls." After a pause, he also asked, "Lucia, how is she?" ”
