Chapter 27: Dislike and Skill
"It's so sweet!"
Caroline didn't expect that this small granule, which was as white as refined salt, turned out to be sugar!
In this world, sugar has always been a luxury, even more expensive than spices, Caroline previously gave Zhang Feng's most important inheritance, Baron Charles's most important inheritance, the spice box, there is a piece of sucrose, because the shape of the sugar is like an awl, it is generally called cone sugar.
But the piece of cone candy was black and swarthy, and it didn't look clean. And it's not as sweet as Zhang Feng's white sugar, and more importantly, I heard that that piece of sugar has been passed down for generations!
Most nobles rarely had access to sugar, let alone commoners.
Sometimes, the nobles used honey instead of sugar, but honey depends on luck, and if you are lucky, you may encounter a beehive in the wild, and if you are unlucky, you may not see it for the rest of your life.
After all, without the technology to breed bees in captivity, honey is as expensive as sugar.
Caroline's mouthful of candy not only looks clean, but also tastes like it doesn't smell like anything, and her mouth is full of sweetness.
Sweets make people feel good, and that's not just a saying.
Caroline, for example, is very happy now, she hasn't eaten sugar in a long time, this is the sweetest she has ever tasted! The value of this packet of sugar alone is hard to estimate, and it's clear that there's more than one packet here!
Caroline even felt that Zhang Feng was sent by God to save herself and Red Leaf City.
"Would you like to taste it?"
Looking at Marlowe, who was watching from the sidelines, Zhang Feng handed over the bag of sugar in his hand, and as for how to eat it, he figured it out by himself.
Marlowe felt that it might be better to win the favor of the lord of the city by being modest at this time, but his hand was stretched out unobediently.
In fact, Zhang Feng asked Marlowe to get this mountaineering bag just now, not only because he was lazy, but also because he had the mind to test.
Although Zhang Feng doesn't know how much money he can sell these things in this world, it will definitely not be less, even if there are other things that Marlowe doesn't know, but this polished rice will always know.
It was an absolute windfall for anyone, but Marlowe didn't have any idea of keeping it for himself.
Even Zhang Feng estimated the time for him to go back and forth according to the speed of Marlowe's walking, and deduced that after he got the things, he didn't even stop, and came back directly.
It can be seen that the character of this knight is absolutely trustworthy.
When the conscription plan is launched, Zhang Feng can also rest assured that he will do it.
"Is this what sugar tastes like......
Marlowe licked the palm of his hand that had taken off his gloves, and his tone was a little emotional.
He remembers the last time he ate candy was when he was 16 years old.
At that time, he successfully stood out from the knightly squire, and the Grand Duke himself made himself a knight, and sugar was the reward he received at that time.
It was a black cone the size of a fingernail of his little thumb, and he had eaten it for ten days.
More than 20 years have passed, and he has long forgotten the taste of sugar......
"It seems that this Marlowe knight is also a man with a story!"
Zhang Feng shook his head, each with its own story, it was nothing more than good or bad.
"Well, how much do you think this bag of sugar is worth?"
When Caroline heard Zhang Feng's question, she thought for a while and said:
"I don't think anyone can afford such a big bag of candy in our place......"
"Then sell them separately, aren't there still many big merchants in Red Leaf City, sell them to them."
Zhang Feng said indifferently.
"If you sell it directly to the nobles, you will definitely be able to sell it for a sky-high price, after all, their kind of show-off problem cannot be changed, if you sell these merchants, the price may be discounted......
Caroline did the analysis.
"It doesn't matter if it's cheaper, as long as you can exchange it for food."
Zhang Feng estimated according to the current price of Red Leaf City, if it was according to normal standards, about six or seven hundred gold coins would allow Red Leaf City to buy enough food for a thousand people to eat for half a year.
But this is only the standard of Red Leaf City, Zhang Feng's own standard is not like this.
After all, in this vast universe, the two worlds are connected, which is a hard-won fate. They have become their own people, and they happen to be capable, which makes it a bit unreasonable to say that these people do not live well.
In addition to sugar, there are a few other things in the hiking bag.
"This is instant noodles, this is ham sausage, this is dried noodles, this is canned fish."
The mountaineering bag was full of easy-to-store food, Zhang Feng explained to the two of them one by one, Caroline and Marlowe were confused, they didn't know what Zhang Feng was talking about, only the words meat and fish understood.
"It's all food."
Zhang Feng took out a ham sausage and skillfully tore open the package with his teeth.
"Come, open your mouth, bite."
Caroline was accustomed to Zhang Feng's order, and opened her mouth obediently with red cheeks, and Zhang Feng's ham sausage was put in her mouth and let her take a bite.
"Hmm~ Is this meat? Delicious! ”
Caroline puffed out her cheeks and slurred her words.
Zhang Feng bought this pork sausage, which does not have too much starch and tastes very strong.
It's not that Caroline hasn't eaten meat, on the contrary, because of being an aristocracy, meat is very common, especially pork, but because the pig in this world has not been castrated, its meat has a great taste, coupled with the lack of seasoning, the chef's methods are relatively simple, and most of the meat here is salty, astringent, and fat.
Ham sausage, which tastes fragrant, is rarely encountered, or almost non-existent.
Zhang Feng naturally did not favor one over the other, and threw a ham sausage to Marlowe.
Marlowe also peeled off the coat of the ham sausage as Zhang Feng did just now, and bit off half of it in one bite.
"Incense!"
Caroline had just finished eating the ham sausage in her mouth, Zhang Feng handed over the remaining ham sausage, Caroline naturally took another bite, and her eyes were suddenly in the shape of happiness.
Marlowe looked at the two of them, and then at the ham sausage in his hand, and suddenly felt that it didn't seem to be so fragrant.
"Dried noodles need to be boiled in water, this is not shown, instant noodles can be boiled in water, or they can be eaten dry, Marlowe, you can take a few packets and give Baker to taste, as for this canned fish, as the name suggests, it is fish inside, which can be stored for a long time."
"Fish? Can you eat fish? ”
Looking at the puzzled expressions of the two, this time it was Zhang Feng's turn to be confused.
"Can't you eat fish?"
"The fish smells so fishy that people think it's a symbol of disease, and no one eats it."
Hearing Caroline's explanation, Zhang Feng was really speechless.
This really confirms a saying on the Internet, the lower the education, the greater the toxicity.
Zhang Feng wanted to say.
What is the taste of your own cooking, haven't you forced the count, and you still have the face to dislike the fishy smell of other people's fish?
The fish is aggrieved.
Without saying anything, Zhang Feng used dexterity to directly open a can of fish, turned his palm over, and a stainless steel fork appeared in his hand, Marlowe's eyes widened, he didn't find out where the shiny fork on Zhang Feng's hand came from.
When you open this canned fish, the rich fragrance suddenly comes to you.
Marlowe and Caroline smelled the umami and felt like their saliva was going to water.
Zhang Feng forked the fish together, and before she could speak, Caroline's cherry mouth had already opened.
On the contrary, Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, was he so skilled, but he still fed the hairtail fish to Caroline's mouth.
"Hmm~ delicious! Fragrant! ”
Caroline has run out of words.
"Give."
Zhang Feng also did not discriminate, he also handed Marlowe a canned fish with fish.
Marlowe looked at the can in his hand, not knowing how to start, and fell into deep thought.
