[Chapter 73]

Honey was the hard currency of hard money in the Middle Ages because, for a long time, the only source of sweetness for Westerners, who lacked sugar-making skills, was honey.

It is very common for several lords to start wars for a little bit of honey. In the Crusades, there is a slogan “Recapture the place where milk and honey are flowing”, which shows the nobility of this thing.

Xuelu put the honeycomb in front of Robb: “Giving it to you, although it’s not worth anything compared to what you gave us, but you seem to be very concerned about your diet, you can make honey bread with this. ”

Robb really likes this thing. It’s been more than a month since he came to this broken world, and Robb has almost never eaten anything “sweet” in his mouth. This world lacks sugar-making technology, and neither cane sugar nor caramel is available. , so that Robb’s mouth is almost salty.

Holding the beehive, Robb smiled and said, “Thank you so much, Lillian, put this thing away and make honey bread tonight.” The

itinerant merchant swallowed hard and said in a low voice, “Mr. Robert, Do you sell this honeycomb? I… I can offer a very high price.”

“Of course I won’t sell it.” Robb said, “Money doesn’t matter.” The

itinerant merchant looked regretful.

Even Probo, who specializes in high-end goods, showed a strong interest in honey, and said with a smile: “This time, I heard that Mr. Robert has made many interesting things, including tap water, fat house happy water, and more. One-night-ripening pepper… Oh, and this kind of weird socks. Maybe Mr. Robert can make a lot of honey?” The

itinerant merchant instantly regained his energy, and hurriedly sat up: “Yes! Mr. Robert, Have you ever produced a lot of miracles of honey?”

“It’s all nonsense!” Robb laughed: “Where did this miracle come from, I don’t know how to keep bees.

” Enough.”

This conversation made Robb seriously consider this issue. He has been in this world for more than a month, and this is the first time he has seen sweet things. The bread he usually eats is the kind of bland and tasteless bread. It’s hard and unpalatable, and it can’t go on like this forever, can it?

Robb put on a serious face: “No, I have to solve the problem of eating candy, I want to eat candy.”

“Yeah, yes!” The two businessmen and three adventurers all nodded together: “It’s really good to eat without candy. Terrible.”

Robb thought seriously about how to get sugar in the Western world? Cane sugar is impossible because there is no sugar cane in the West. Neither does caramel, because glutinous rice is needed to make caramel, and glutinous rice is not produced in the West.

Then, the only way to get sugar, there is only one – beets!

Robb knows a cooking skill of making sugar from beets, and he can make white sugar by using the material beet.

Skills can use beets to make sugar, which means that sugar can also be made from beets in reality, but the complexity of the production is different. Robb carefully recalled the picture of the prop “beet” in the game, picked up a branch and painted it on the ground: “Let’s see, do you know this crop

?”

The stall spread out his hands: “Sorry, I don’t know how to distinguish crops.” The

itinerant merchant was also confused, as if he had never seen it before.

Not to mention the three adventurers, how could they understand crops.

Instead, Lillian jumped over and said with a smile, “Master, I recognize this plant. Its name is fenugreek, and people in our village also call it beetroot, and some people call it beet.”

Robb Overjoyed: “Haha, still my Lilian is the smartest and most useful. Where can I get this kind of vegetable?”

Lilian said: “In my hometown, Rough Stone Canyon, some people grow this thing in small quantities. Throw it into a large pot and cook it. , you can cook a thick soup with a sweet taste.”

“Very good!” Robo said happily: “Lillian, go get the white cloth, I’m going to release a new mission, whoever can go to the rough rock canyon and bring me a bag of beet seeds, I’ll pay him five A gold coin.”

“Five gold coins?” Even Popolo, a high-end commodity merchant, couldn’t help sweating: “Mr. Robert, you bought a bag of crop seeds at the price of a slave? Why do I think you put The garbage has a high-end feeling?”

“Is there a problem?” Robb spread his hands and said: “The task is to pay more, so that everyone can do it happily, I am most annoying those who have little pay, run a long way, do It’s a very troublesome task again, it’s anti-human, but Virgo has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and no matter how cost-effective the task is, it must be done, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to see the exclamation mark on the NPC’s head.”

He said more and more. With grief and indignation, he spread his hands, palms to the sky, five fingers, and made a complaint: “Don’t publish that kind of low-paying task, it looks so disgusting but you can’t do it, I, he, meow. I really want to hack those designers to death.” The

group of people next to him couldn’t understand what he was talking about, only that the priest seemed to have been tricked by someone before and looked very angry.

Golda smiled and blocked Lilian, preventing her from taking the white cloth to write the task: “Mr. Robert, don’t bother other people with this task, there are three experienced adventurers here, let us Let’s go to the rough rock canyon, and we will help you get the beet seeds back as quickly as possible.”

“Oh, would you like to go? That would be the best.” The

three adventurers made arrangements after a negotiation . After packing, I said goodbye to Robert, and then set off towards the rough rock canyon to the northwest. Xifeng Town is not far from the original stone canyon. It takes a few days to walk along the official road. Although there are occasionally monsters on the official road, they are not powerful monsters. With the abilities of the three of them, bring some beet seeds back. Should be no problem.

Probo also said goodbye to Robb: “I’ll go around a few villages nearby, buy some slaves for you, and then go to the road of light and the capital of saints, and sell the equipment you gave me this time. ”

Of course, there was also the itinerant businessman, who smiled and gave Robb a big gift: “Thanks to Mr. Robert, I made a lot of money from the pepper last time. It is better to ship pepper from you to a big city than to ship it back in the far east. It’s much more convenient, this time the fat house happy water should also be able to make a lot of money.”

Robb smiled and said goodbye to them one by one, especially the two businessmen: “Go on and make money.”

Just sent them away, square The mayor of the face came again, and as soon as he saw Robb, he smiled and said: “Father, the poor people in our village who are unable to build water towers have recently joined forces to propose a plan, saying that each family will contribute a little money. , gather everyone’s strength to build a huge water tower in the middle of the village to supply water to all the residents of the town, I’m here to seek your opinion, do you want to join?”
