Chapter 26 Food Solutions
"Zhang, Zhang Feng..."
Caroline was a little reluctant to speak but stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Feng handed over his residence to Erica to train the slaves, and is now on his way back to the castle.
"We don't have much food anymore. If we don't have limited supplies to those slaves, we may not be able to hold on for a week."
Caroline knew that saying this might make Zhang Feng unhappy, but this was the fact that she had to say it out.
After Zhang Feng announced that the unlimited supply of these slaves' food was almost interrupted, Caroline almost wanted to interrupt, but she still held back. She could not affect the authority of the city lord, and she could only complain to Zhang Feng when there was no one.
In fact, Zhang Feng's order just now, let alone these slaves, even the soldiers who maintained order on the side were envious. If they hadn't had high quality, they might have voluntarily become Zhang Feng's slaves. After all, they have food, drink and salary. The most important thing is that they are not in danger of life, they don't have to do heavy work, they just need to 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 will be solved soon-or immediately."
Zhang Feng seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around and shouted:
"Knight Marlowe."
"exist."
Marlow, who was beside him, immediately responded.
"I have something left at my house. If you go and get it back, it's just a bag. It's probably so big that you can see it when you go up the second floor."
Zhang Feng stretched out his arms and gestured with his hands to size.
"yes."
Marlow, wearing a shiny knight armor, didn't ask, and went back in frame.
Zhang Feng looked at the background of Ma Luo's departure and felt a little thoughtful.
It is a bit unreasonable to always ask a knight to run errands for him, mainly because there are too few knights in Hongye City.
There are only two knights left at present. The Marlow Knight usually stays by Caroline to protect her. Knight Baker is temporarily responsible for the security affairs of Red Leaf City and patrols every day. With more than a dozen soldiers, this is the entire force of Red Leaf City.
Zhang Feng was not very concerned about military affairs because he felt that Red Leaf City still looked very safe. But when he saw Erica today, he heard that there was a profession like horse thief, he felt a sense of crisis and felt that he should put recruitment on the agenda.
Although Zhang Feng did not have the idea of fighting for dominance in the world and did not need many soldiers, whether there was one thing or not is another.
Let’s go back and discuss with Marlow to see what conditions can attract the knights. As long as there are enough knights, they can train the soldiers.
As for personal training, Zhang Feng never considered it. After all, professional things need to be done by professionals.
He can use the advanced training methods of another world for reference for knights, but the specific operation must be made by knights. 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 compare with others' experience for most of his life after reading theoretical knowledge in a few days.
When Zhang Feng and Caroline returned leisurely to the castle hall, Knight Marlowe returned.
He held a big black bag with a look of shock and disbelief.
Zhang Feng sat in the main seat and waved his hand.
"Open it."
When Marlow found this big bag, the bag did not zip it up. He saw with his own eyes what was inside the bag, so he was so shocked.
After receiving Zhang Feng's order, Ma Luo opened the zipper a little awkwardly.
A bunch of beautifully packaged things came into Caroline's eyes.
"This is?"
Caroline walked into the observation curiously.
First, I saw a translucent bag containing white objects.
"Serious rice!"
Although she knew that Zhang Feng had rice, Caroline had eaten rice porridge made by Zhang Feng in the morning, she was still a little surprised to see so much rice placed in front of her.
Due to climate, the yield of refined rice here is very rare. Even those great nobles rarely have rice. They usually use meat and bread as their staple food.
Essential rice is a food that many great nobles pursue. Deliciousness is just one of the reasons, and more importantly, it is rare. This is the capital that can be shown in the aristocratic circle. The price of Essential rice can be imagined, so it will naturally not be cheap.
There are 3 bags of fine rice in this big bag, each bag of 5 kilograms. The price is not easy to estimate, because this kind of luxury goods can be sold at different prices in different hands, and it varies from person to person.
But it's definitely not cheap.
Caroline was a little excited and expectant, because these three bags of fine rice only accounted for a small part of this strange black baggage.
"What's this?"
Caroline picked up another package of transparently packaged items. The crystals like white sand inside looked very white. This bag was much smaller than the rice, and it was only two of hers.
“That’s salt.”
Zhang Feng came over.
"Salt?"
Caroline was a little confused. The salt she had seen was all the crystal particles that were the size of a thumb and were a little yellow. How could it be so white and fine?
Zhang Feng didn't say anything nonsense, so he took it over and tear apart a corner of the packaging.
"Try it, how is it different from the salt you eat."
Gently holding Caroline's palm, Zhang Feng poured some salt into her palm.
Caroline was a little shy about Zhang Feng's actions, but she did not refuse because she was more curious.
Gently dip a little with your fingers and put it in your mouth.
"Yeah~ so salty!"
The salt Caroline had eaten before was all unprocessed coarse salt, not only had a salty taste, but more of it was bitter, astringent, and other strange flavors.
For a chef, it is very particular about how much salt is added to cook. It must be salty, but not too bitter. Even the chef of the city lord's family cannot control this amount well. Caroline often tastes bitter.
And the most important thing is that salt is very expensive!
There is neither sea nor salt ore near Hongye City, and salt is a necessity and needs to be transported from far away places, so the price of salt has always remained high.
That's still ordinary coarse salt.
If this kind of snow-white fine salt appears on the market, Caroline is sure that even if the price is ten or even a hundred times more expensive than coarse salt, someone is willing to buy it.
Although the civilians are very poor, the nobles are very rich!
Seeing Caroline frowning by the salty brows, but she was reluctant to spit it out and swallowing the salt in one mouthful, Zhang Feng felt inexplicably cute.
"Then you're trying this."
He took out another bag of items that were also white and granular.
"Is this also fine salt? But it feels a little thicker than fine salt..."
Caroline frowned and thought to herself.
"Come on, open your mouth, ah~"
Caroline subconsciously opened her mouth. Zhang Feng took out a small spoon from somewhere and dug it directly. Before Caroline could react, she directly stuck it into her mouth.
"Yeah~"
Caroline's eyes shining like a lake opened wide in an instant.
