Chapter 17 Charles' Legacy



The sticky refined rice, the smooth texture, and the hint of meat aroma, this is an extremely delicious taste that Caroline has never tasted in her life.

Zhang Feng knew that due to low productivity, the living standards of humans in this world were extremely low, and the food was naturally not that good.

But he didn't expect Caroline to be so exaggerated. After all, she was the former wife of the city lord. It was just a bowl of porridge, but Zhang Feng thought he was watching the Little Chef.

"How come this steamed bun is so soft!"

After taking a sip of the porridge, Caroline wanted to finish it all at once, but she knew she had to be reserved, so she held back for the time being and set her eyes on the steamed bun. However, as soon as she touched it, she found that the bun was a little too soft.

The bread Caroline usually eats is baked in the only bakery in Red Leaf City. Because there is only one big oven in Red Leaf City, even though she is the wife of the city lord, she can only eat the bread produced here.

The bread there is baked very hard, and usually you have to soak it in soup to soften it before eating. When she heard that this was a special "bread", she was going to slice it and soak it in rice porridge to eat, but after searching around, she didn't find a knife.

He just likes to eat soft-boiled eggs. He doesn't care whether they are nutritious or not, as long as they taste good.

Caroline almost finished the whole pot of porridge, and Zhang Feng only drank two bowls.

Zhang Feng had no idea what Caroline was thinking. He peeled the egg in his hand, took a bite, and the thick egg yolk instantly burst in his mouth. The extremely delicious taste made Zhang Feng very satisfied.

What kind of magical egg is this? It’s so delicious!

Zhang Feng took a quick look and found that the contract included Red Leaf City, Black Stone Forest, many fields and villages outside the city, part of the Senluo River, and so on.

But when she picked it up, she found something different: this "bread" called mantou was very light and soft! She didn't need to soak it in hot water or use a knife.

This was in the city lord's house and there were no servants, so she was naturally embarrassed to ask the city lord for it. The worst that could happen was that she would just take a bite. It was not the first time she had eaten bread this way anyway.

"Then what is this?"

"Yes, but what is this?"

Fortunately, Caroline was quite sensible and handed over all these things, which saved a lot of trouble in the future.

The spices in this world are even more expensive than gold. This small box of spices is enough to be used as a family heirloom.

Without waiting for Zhang Feng to reply, she walked over, opened the door, took a large box from Knight Marlowe, and came to Zhang Feng again. Caroline said solemnly:

To be honest, Zhang Feng was a little disappointed. Even if Caroline hid it now, the contract would be his sooner or later. After all, he was a legal baron. It would just take more time. As for the seasonings, they had no appeal to Zhang Feng. He felt that these things might as well be exchanged for a few gold coins.

Zhang Feng didn't expect that Caroline, who looked skinny, could eat so much. She almost ate the whole pot of lean meat porridge. Zhang Feng felt a little hungry.

"Apart from these, is there anything else?"

"And, and, that is, that is..."

"In the castle? What happened in the castle?"

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

Caroline stood up, almost unable to stand. Her face was as red as an apple, and she shyly bowed to Zhang Feng and thanked him:

Seeing Caroline still looking at the pot eagerly after eating two steamed buns, two eggs and a bowl of porridge, Zhang Feng pointed at the pot and said, "Drink as much lean meat porridge as you want. Don't be polite to me."

"These are all Charles's inheritance. You are the new lord now, so they all belong to you."

"Of course not. I...I came here to apologize to you and hope to gain your forgiveness."

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

Zhang Feng was confused. It seemed that there was no conflict between the two of them. If there was a conflict, how could he let her eat here? "I was disrespectful to you in the castle before—"

"Please wait a moment."

Caroline bit her lip and said to Zhang Feng:

Caroline opened the big box, revealing part of the contract and a small box.

Zhang Feng still didn't understand. If he remembered correctly, he had only been to the castle once, and that day the portal in his mind happened to open. He was so excited that he ignored everyone else and left the castle directly without caring about what happened in the castle.

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

Could it be that something happened in the castle after I left? But even if something happened, I was not there, so why are you apologizing to me?

The corners of Zhang Feng's mouth twitched slightly.

Zhang Feng then realized that Charles' territory was so large. He recalled that when he signed the contract with Pansy, Pansy did not mention any place outside Hongye City. It seemed that Pansy did not get these contracts, which was a small trick on Zhang Feng.

"Why is this egg like this?"

When they first met, Zhang Feng felt that Caroline was a rather aloof type. Although she blushed easily, she was expressionless in most situations.

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

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

Caroline opened it carefully, and as Zhang Feng had expected, there were some peppercorns, pepper, cinnamon, cloves and other spices, but in very small quantities, some of which were only a few grains.

Is this candy? Zhang Feng was a little confused when he saw the cone candy that looked like poop. It didn't look appetizing at all.

Suddenly, she felt a gaze with some resentment falling on her, and Caroline came to her senses in an instant. This was not in the castle, but in the home of the new city lord. Caroline sat up straight and remained elegant.

Caroline sat back slightly and subconsciously touched her round belly. For the first time, she felt the taste of happiness.

"This is Charles's treasure. It is also the most valuable thing in the castle right now!"

"Apologize? Apologize for what?"

Caroline felt very ashamed. After all, she had lived in an aristocratic family since she was a child and had received a good aristocratic education. Elegance should be engraved in her bones. But today, she felt that she had lost her composure under the impact of delicious food.

He recognized the spices, but there was a thumb-sized, black, hard cone-shaped object in it. Zhang Feng didn't know what spice it was.

Half an hour later.

Few people can resist the taste of soft-boiled eggs.

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

I told her to be polite, and she turned out to be not polite at all.

Caroline was a little embarrassed to speak, but in order to avoid angering Zhang Feng again, she said in a low voice with some embarrassment:

Zhang Feng was still confused.

“It’s cone candy.”

After taking a bite, the strong aroma of wheat instantly filled her mouth, and there was a light sweetness lingering on the tip of her tongue. This was completely different from the sour black bread she usually ate - no, there was no comparison at all! Usually, she ate bread just to resist hunger, like a routine. But now eating steamed buns is a complete enjoyment, and the more you chew this steamed bun, the more fragrant and sweet it becomes. It feels like you can't stop eating it.

But now, after having a meal together, Zhang Feng found that she was not as aloof as he had imagined, and was even a little cute. The relationship between the two of them became much closer. Zhang Feng asked casually, "What do you want from me? You didn't come here just to eat for free, did you?"

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

After saying that, Caroline quickly lowered her head, her ears red.

"ah?"

Zhang Feng was completely confused.

"There is such a good thing - no, I mean how could such a thing happen!"
