"Zhang, Zhang Feng......"

Caroline was a little reluctant to speak.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Feng gave his residence to Erica to train the slaves, and is now on his way back to the castle.

"We don't have much food, and if we don't supply those slaves in unlimited quantities, we probably won't be able to last even a week."

Caroline knew that saying this might make Zhang Feng unhappy, but it was a fact, and she had to say it.

After Zhang Feng announced the unlimited supply of food for these slaves just now, Caroline almost wanted to interrupt, but she still held back, she couldn't affect the authority of the city lord, she could only complain to Zhang Feng when there was no one.

In fact, Zhang Feng's order just now, not to mention these slaves, is the soldiers who maintain order on the side are envious, if it weren't for their relatively high quality, maybe they would have voluntarily become Zhang Feng's slaves, after all, there is no danger to life, no heavy work, just learn aristocratic etiquette, this is simply the life that most people dream of.

"Of course I know that you don't have to worry about the food problem, it can be solved quickly – or right away."

Zhang Feng seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned around and shouted:

"Knight Marlowe."

"Yes."

Marlowe, who was on the side, immediately responded.

"I have something left in my house, you go and help me get it back, it's a burden, it's about this big, you can see it on the second floor."

Zhang Feng stretched out his arm and gestured with his hand.

"Yes."

Marlowe, who was wearing shiny knight armor, didn't ask, and went back directly.

Zhang Feng looked at the background of Marlowe's departure with some thought.

It's a bit unreasonable to let a knight run errands for him, mainly because there are too few knights in Red Leaf City.

At present, there are only two knights left, Knight Marlowe usually stays by Caroline's side to protect her, and Knight Baker is temporarily in charge of the security affairs of Red Leaf City, patrolling every day, plus more than a dozen soldiers, this is the entire strength of Red Leaf City.

Originally, Zhang Feng didn't pay much attention to the matter of troops, because he felt that Red Leaf City still looked very safe, but after seeing Erica today and hearing that there was also a profession like a horse thief, he had a sense of crisis and felt that he should put recruitment on the agenda.

Although Zhang Feng doesn't have the idea of dominating the world and doesn't need a lot of soldiers, it's one thing to have it or not, and it's another thing to use it or not.

Go back and talk to Marlowe about what conditions can attract the knights, and as long as there are enough knights, they can train the soldiers.

As for in-person training? Zhang Feng didn't think about it at all, after all, professional things need professional people to do.

He can bring another world's advanced training methods to the knight for reference, but how to operate it must still be let the knight come, after all, if you want to become a qualified knight, you have to start training at the age of six, Zhang Feng doesn't think that he can see a few days of theoretical knowledge compared to the experience of others for most of his life.

When Zhang Feng and Caroline returned to the castle hall leisurely, Knight Marlowe returned.

He was holding a large black bag, and his eyes were a little shocked and incredulous.

Zhang Feng sat on the main seat and waved his big hand.

"Turn it on."

When Marlowe found this big baggage, the baggage was not zipped, and he saw with his own eyes what was in the baggage, which is why he was so shocked.

After receiving Zhang Feng's order, Marlowe opened the zipper a little jerkyly.

A pile of beautifully packaged items greeted Caroline's eyes.

"What is this?"

Caroline walked in with some curiosity.

The first thing I saw was a translucent bag containing a white object.

"Rice polishing!"

Although she knew that Zhang Feng had polished rice, after all, Caroline had eaten the polished rice porridge made by Zhang Feng in the morning, but she was still a little surprised to see so much polished rice placed in front of her with her own eyes.

Due to the climate, the production of polished rice here is very scarce, even for those big nobles, there is very little rice, and they generally eat meat and bread as their staple food.

Rice polishing is a food sought after by many nobles, and delicious taste is only one of the reasons, but more importantly, it is rare. This is a capital that can be flaunted in the aristocratic circle, and the price of polished rice can be imagined, so it will naturally not be cheap.

There are 3 bags of polished rice in this big bag, each bag contains 5 catties. As for the price, it is not very easy to estimate, because this kind of luxury goods can be sold at different prices in the hands of different people, which varies from person to person.

But it's certainly not going to be cheap.

Caroline was a little excited and expectant, because the three bags of polished rice were only a small part of this strange black baggage.

"What is this?"

Caroline picked up another package of items in a transparent package, the crystals inside looked white like white sand, this bag was much smaller than polished rice, and it was the size of her two palms.

"That's salt."

Zhang Feng walked over.

"Salt?"

Caroline was a little confused, the salt she had ever seen was thumb-sized and somewhat yellowed crystalline particles, how could it be so white and fine?

Zhang Feng didn't talk nonsense, and directly took it and tore open the corner of the package.

"Taste, it's different from the salt you eat."

Gently holding the tip of Caroline's palm, Zhang Feng poured some salt into her palm.

Caroline was a little shy about Zhang Feng's actions, but she didn't refuse, because she was more curious.

Dip a little bit with your finger and put it in your mouth.

"Hmm~ so salty!"

The salt that Caroline had eaten before was unprocessed coarse salt, not only salty, but also bitter, astringent, and other strange tastes.

For a chef, it is very particular about how much salt to put in cooking, it must be salty, but not too bitter, even if it is the chef of the city lord's house, it is not possible to grasp this amount very well, Caroline often eats bitter taste.

And most importantly, salt is expensive!

There is neither the sea nor the salt mines near Momiji Castle, and salt is a necessity that needs to be transported from far away, so the price of salt has always been high.

That's still ordinary coarse salt.

If this refined salt, which is as white as snow, appeared on the market, Caroline was sure that anyone would be willing to buy it, even if it was ten or even a hundred times more expensive than the price of coarse salt.

The commoners were poor, but the nobles were rich!

Seeing Caroline's salty brows furrowed, but she was reluctant to spit it out and swallowed the salt in one gulp, Zhang Feng felt an inexplicable cuteness.

"Then you're trying this."

He opened another bag of the same white grainy items.

"Is this also refined salt? But it feels a little coarser than refined salt......"

Caroline thought to herself with a frown.

"Come, open your mouth, ah~"

Caroline subconsciously opened her mouth, and Zhang Feng took out a small spoon out of nowhere, dug a spoonful directly, and when Caroline didn't react, it went directly into her mouth.

"Hmm~"

Caroline's eyes sparkled like lakes widened instantly.

It's so sweet!
