Chapter 82, the otherworldly version of sugar cane? (Ask for follow-up)
There are many things in this world that are different from previous lives, including plants, animals, minerals, ...... In many ways, let's talk about minerals, minerals such as gold, silver, copper, and iron, which are only slightly different from previous lives.
But there are also magic crystals, mythril, ther silver, gilt, and demonic iron...... and other exotic metals, which have some unbelievable properties.
The same is true for plants, not to mention pine, cypress, bamboo, willow, rice and potatoes, but at the same time, there are many plants that did not exist in the previous life, some are ordinary, and some have some unique abilities or functions.
It is said that in the Warcraft Forest, there are all kinds of strange plants, and there are even some that can hunt animals and Warcraft for food, which is beyond the scope of ordinary plants.
Not to mention the animals, in addition to the strange species, there were also extraordinary creatures such as demonic beasts, and even the existence of giant dragons, which were powerful creatures that he had seen with his own eyes.
So it's no surprise that Ryan, a sugarcane-like plant, has been discovered, after all, the world is so big that anything is possible.
However, an idea popped into his head, what can sugar cane be used for? Eating is only the most basic application, and squeezing sugar is its main value.
In this world, sugar is a luxury, and the main source of sweetness for the aristocracy is honey, which is added to make some desserts, preserved fruits and the like.
But honey is so precious that even if the profession of beekeeper has been developed, it is far from enough to compare consumption, and the common people cannot afford it.
As a result, caramel made from malt, corn, etc., began to appear, although the yield was much higher than that of honey, but the yield of grain limited the yield of caramel or maltose.
For the average family, sugar is still a luxury, and many people may not have eaten "sugar" in their lives, which is unimaginable in previous lives, but it is too normal in this world.
Ryan has never lacked sugar in his life, just because of Mrs. Kaelinman's doting and the Black family's wealth, but this does not mean that Ryan does not know the value of sugar, on the contrary, he understands that it is a commodity that can be compared with salt, iron, and wine.
If you can use this green rod to squeeze out sugar, you will definitely not worry about sales.
"Hmm~ I have to find a chance to experiment, if the yield is right, you can really try it." Ryan felt the sweetness in his mouth as he began to recall the steps of making sugar.
Ryan is very short of money now, very short of money, originally thought that a few thousand Jindeler could complete the early construction of the territory, but later learned that he knew that he was too optimistic.
It's only been a month since he came to the territory, but Ryan has spent as much as five or six thousand Jindler, although the pension accounts for the lion's share, but it is also related to his constant actions.
After all, there are still several projects started at the same time, and they are all waiting to be fed.
Of course, there are taxes/taxes that can be supplemented, but with so many people and no special industries, there is no hope for doing anything.
If you want to meet the construction and rapid development of the territory, the only way to do this is to open source and reduce expenditure, which has reached the extreme, and you can only choose open source.
However, although the Kana Territory is large, there is nothing that can be handled, and there were originally a few mines, but after the destructive mining of the previous lords, now there is only sporadic output, and there is no hope of doing it.
Originally, Ryan was worried, but now the green pole has opened a door!
"Ray, what's wrong with you?" Delay was a little distracted by Ryan, and couldn't help but touch his arm.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just think that this green rod has no other effect than thirst, after all, the yield is so high."
Ryan smiled, although he was excited, he didn't show his thoughts, after all, it wasn't certain whether it would work out or not.
"It's been so many years, and no one has found that it still works." Hevian frowned and thought about it, but he really couldn't think of anything to do.
As he was talking, a pungent fragrance lingered on the tip of everyone's noses, making several people can't help but put down the wine glasses in their hands, this fragrance is somewhat similar to the taste of fried food, and people's mouths can't help but start to secrete saliva.
Everyone's eyes were on the direction of the room, where the scent came from, and even the drunk Alan shrugged his nose.
Soon, Joel, dressed as a chef, walked forward with several people carrying several tightly covered plates, and said respectfully and confidently: "Great Baron, this is the food I cooked, please taste it." ”
Ryan and the others all looked at the trays, and although they were tightly shielded, the vague fragrance inside made them swallow.
None of the people present could be regarded as people who had never seen the world, but the fragrance was like a seductive goblin, hooking a few people's gluttonous insects, making them a little impatient.
Joel personally lifted the lid on the plate for everyone, and a hot white mist evaporated out, spreading with a pungent fragrance, which was shocking.
The dish is actually very simple, just one steak per person, but the presentation is very exquisite, and the tempting color of the steak is also appetizing.
After asking Ryan's permission, Ham carefully took out a white metal bar, poked it on each steak, and then took it under the firelight to observe it carefully, and only when he found that the color had not changed, did he respectfully retreat.
The thing he was holding in his hand was made of a special metal, which could detect toxins, which was similar to the legendary silver needle poison test, but I don't know if the silver needle test is accurate, this is really accurate.
Although with the flesh of Ryan's high-ranking knight, he has a high resistance to most of the toxins, but be careful, Joel has not yet gained his trust after all.
Seeing that there was no problem in testing the poison, Ryan and the others couldn't wait to pick up the knife and fork and start feasting, not to mention, this Joel really didn't brag, the steak cooked was indeed delicious.
Ryan was even more emotional, Cana is a remote place, there are not many chefs who can do it, and the chefs in his castle are not to say how unpalatable they are, but they definitely don't have much to do with deliciousness, which is really hard to describe.
As an extravagant aristocrat, this is really unbearable, if it weren't for the lack of suitable candidates, he would have fired those half-baked chefs a long time ago.
And now, it really let him recruit a talent!
"Mr. Joel, where did you work before, steak is not food that civilians can consume." took out a handkerchief and wiped the grease stains on the corners of his mouth.
"My lord, I used to be the cook of a knight lord in Chert, but after the orcs invaded, the lord fled into the castle, and I became a refugee and came here, thanks to your protection, merciful and great lord."
Joel's words were full of gratitude.
"Very well, you will be the head chef of the castle in the future, and I will give you twenty silver delews a month."
"Yes, sir."
"Call the young master."
