Chapter XVII: Charles's Legacy

Caroline had eaten polished rice before, but she swore that the polished rice porridge she used to eat was definitely not as delicious as it is now!

The viscous polished rice, the smooth texture, and the light aroma of the meat, this extremely delicious taste, Caroline has never tasted in her life.

Zhang Feng knows that due to low productivity, the living standard of human beings in this world is extremely low, and the food is naturally not very good.

But he didn't expect Caroline to be so exaggerated, she was also the wife of the former city lord, just a bowl of porridge, which made Zhang Feng think that he was looking at the little master.

"How can this steamed bun be so soft!"

After taking a sip of porridge, although Caroline wanted to drink it all at once, she knew that she had to be reserved, so she held back for the time being and set her eyes on the steamed buns, but as soon as she got started, she found that the steamed buns were a little too soft.

Caroline's usual bread is baked from the only bakery in Momiji City, because Momiji City only has one large oven, so even if she is the wife of the castle lord, she can only eat the bread produced here.

The bread there is very hard when baked, and under normal circumstances, the bread must be soaked in soup before it can be eaten. Originally, when she heard that it was a special "bread", she was going to slice it and soak it in the rice porridge, but after looking around, she didn't find a knife.

This is in the city lord's house, and there are no servants, so she is naturally embarrassed to ask the city lord for it, it's a big deal to bite hard, anyway, she hasn't eaten bread like this.

But when she picked it up, she found the difference, this "bread" called steamed bun is very light and soft! There is no need to soak in the soup at all, and there is no need for a knife.

As soon as she took a bite, the rich aroma of wheat instantly filled her mouth, and a faint sweetness lingered on the tip of her tongue, which was completely different from the sour black bread she usually ate - no, there was no comparison at all!

Eating bread is just to ward off hunger, as if it were a routine. But eating steamed buns now is completely enjoyable, and the more you chew this steamed bun, the more fragrant it becomes, the more you chew it, the sweeter it becomes, and there is a feeling that people can't stop.

In the blink of an eye, Caroline, who was still immersed in the deliciousness, found that the two steamed buns in her hands had disappeared.

If it weren't for the lingering aroma of wheat in her mouth, she would have thought it was an illusion.

Caroline felt that she was very ashamed, after all, she had lived in an aristocratic family since she was a child, she had received a good aristocratic education, and elegance should be engraved in her bones, but today, she felt that she had lost her temper under the impact of food.

Zhang Feng didn't know what Caroline was thinking at all, he peeled off the egg in his hand, and when he bit into it, the thick egg yolk burst in his mouth instantly, and the incomparably delicious taste made Zhang Feng very satisfied.

He likes to eat soft-boiled eggs, whether it is nutritious or not, as long as it is delicious.

The last time Caroline ate eggs was a month ago.

"How can this egg be like this?"

Caroline peeled off the eggshell, took a small bite, and was suddenly surprised by the final taste.

What kind of fairy egg is this, it's also too delicious!

The taste of soft-boiled eggs is something that few people can resist.

After watching Caroline eat two steamed buns, two eggs and a bowl of porridge in a row, she still looked at the pot with some eyes, Zhang Feng pointed to the pot and said:

"Lean porridge can be drunk casually, don't be polite to me."

Half an hour later.

The corners of Zhang Feng's mouth twitched slightly.

Let her not be polite, it is really not polite at all.

A whole small pot of porridge almost let Caroline drink it all, and Zhang Feng only drank two bowls.

Caroline sat back slightly, subconsciously touching her somewhat round belly, and she felt happiness for the first time.

Suddenly feeling a little resentful gaze fall on herself, Caroline instantly came back to her senses, this is not in the castle, but in the new city lord's house, brushed, Caroline quickly sat up straight, and remained elegant.

Zhang Feng didn't expect this Caroline, who looked a little thin, to be so edible, a whole small pot of lean porridge, almost all of it went into her stomach, and Zhang Feng was a little underfed.

Caroline got up, almost didn't stand firm, she blushed like an apple, and shyly thanked Zhang Feng:

"Lord Zhang Feng, thank you for your hospitality!"

When they met for the first time before, Zhang Feng felt that this Caroline should be a relatively cold type, although she had a problem with blushing, but most of the time she was expressionless.

But now after having a meal together, Zhang Feng found that she was not as cold as she imagined, and even a little cute, and the relationship between the two was a lot closer, Zhang Feng asked in a somewhat casual tone:

"Then what are you looking for from me, you won't be here to eat!"

"Of course not, I ...... I'm here to apologize to you and hope for your forgiveness. ”

Caroline quickly denied it, and then her tone was a little apprehensive.

"Apologize? What apologies? ”

Zhang Feng looked confused, the two didn't seem to have a conflict, if there was a contradiction, could she eat here?

"It was I who was disrespectful to you in the castle beforeβ€”"

"In the castle? What's going on in the castle? ”

Zhang Feng still didn't understand, if I remember correctly, he went to the castle once, and that day the portal in his mind opened, he was so excited that he didn't care about the others, he left the castle directly, not caring about what happened in the castle at all.

Could it be that after I left, something happened in the castle, but even if it happened, I wasn't there, so what to apologize to me?

Zhang Feng was still confused.

Caroline bit her lip and said to Zhang Feng:

"Please wait a minute."

Then without waiting for Zhang Feng to reply, she walked over and opened the door, took a big box from the hand of the Marlowe knight, and came to Zhang Feng's side again, Caroline said in a solemn tone:

"These are Charles's previous legacy, and you are now the new lord, so they are all yours."

Caroline opened the large box, which contained a portion of the contract and a small box.

Zhang Feng took a brief look, and the contract included Red Leaf City, the Black Stone Forest, many fields and villages outside the city, some areas of the Senluo River, and so on.

Zhang Feng realized that Charles's territory was so big, he remembered that when he signed the contract with Pansy before, Pansy didn't mention anything outside of Red Leaf City at all, it seems that Pansy shouldn't have gotten these contracts, which can be regarded as a small pit for Zhang Feng.

But fortunately, this Caroline is quite sensible and handed over all these things, which saves a lot of trouble in the future.

"Yes, but what is it?"

Zhang Feng looked at the small box, and he smelled a familiar smell.

"This is Charles's treasure, and this is the most valuable thing in the castle at the moment!"

Caroline opened it cautiously, and as Zhang Feng expected, some peppercorns, pepper, cinnamon, cloves and other spices were very small, and some were only a few.

The spices of this world are even more expensive than gold, and this small box of spices is enough to be used as an heirloom.

"And what is this?"

He knew the spice, but there was a thumb-sized, black and hard cone-shaped item in it, and Zhang Feng didn't know what kind of spice it was.

"It's cone candy."

Is this sugar? Looking at the cone candy like a poop, Zhang Feng was a little confused, it didn't seem to have a little appetite.

"Anything else?"

To be honest, Zhang Feng was a little disappointed, the contract or something, even if Caroline hides it now, it will be his sooner or later in the future, after all, he is a legitimate baron, it is nothing more than a matter of spending more time, as for these spices or something, for Zhang Feng, there is no attraction at all, he thinks that these things are better than exchanging them for a few gold coins.

"And, there's, that's ......"

Caroline was a little embarrassed, but in order to avoid angering Zhang Feng again, she whispered a little twisted:

"When you inherit Charles's title, you inherit everything from him, including the land, including the people, and - I, I will unconditionally obey any of your orders......"

After saying that, Caroline quickly lowered her head, and the roots of her ears were red.

"Huh?"

Zhang Feng was completely stunned.

"And this kind of good thing - no, I mean how can this happen!"
