Chapter 27 Disdain and Familiarity



“So sweet!”

Caroline didn't expect that this small white particle like refined salt was actually sugar! In this world, sugar has always been a luxury, even more expensive than spices. The spice box, the most important legacy of Baron Charles that Caroline gave to Zhang Feng, contained a piece of cane sugar. Because the shape of the sugar is like a cone, it is generally called cone sugar.

But that piece of cone candy was black and looked very dirty. It was not as sweet as Zhang Feng's white candy. More importantly, it was said that the candy had been passed down for generations! Most nobles rarely had access to candy, let alone commoners.

Sometimes, nobles used honey instead of sugar, but honey depends on luck. If you are lucky, you may encounter a beehive in the wild, but if you are unlucky, you may never see one in your life.

After all, without the technology to artificially breed bees, honey is as expensive as sugar.

The candy Caroline ate was not only clean in appearance, but also had no strange smell when eaten, and her mouth was full of sweetness.

It is no simple saying that sweet food makes people happy.

The backpack was filled with easy-to-store food. Zhang Feng explained to the two of them one by one. Caroline and Marlo were both confused and had no idea what Zhang Feng was talking about. They only understood the words meat and fish.

After all, in this vast universe, the connection between the two worlds is a hard-won fate. They have become his own people, and he happens to be capable, so it would be unreasonable not to let these people live a good life.

Marlowe looked at the two of them, then looked at the sausage in his hand, and suddenly felt that it didn't smell so good.

Caroline puffed out her cheeks and spoke unclearly.

It can be seen that the character of this knight is absolutely trustworthy.

Caroline was already used to Zhang Feng's orders. She opened her mouth obediently with blushing cheeks. Zhang Feng put the sausage in her mouth and asked her to take a bite.

“Is this what sugar tastes like…?”

Zhang Feng shook his head. Everyone has his or her own story, it’s just good or bad.

Naturally, Zhang Feng did not show favoritism and threw a sausage to Marlowe.

This really confirms a saying on the Internet: the lower the education level, the more toxic one is.

It is rare, or almost impossible, to find ham sausage that leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth.

“Can’t I eat fish?”

"Come on, open your mouth and bite."

"Noodles need to be boiled in water, so I won't show you that. Instant noodles can be boiled in water or eaten dry. Marlowe, you can take a few packets and let Baker try some. As for this canned fish, as the name suggests, it contains fish and can be preserved for a long time."

Looking at the two people's puzzled expressions, this time it was Zhang Feng's turn to be confused.

Without saying anything more, Zhang Feng used his cleverness to open a can of fish. With a flip of his palm, a stainless steel fork appeared in his hand. Marlow's eyes widened, he couldn't tell where Zhang Feng got the shiny fork from.

Zhang Feng estimated the current prices in Hongye City and found that if normal standards were followed, Hongye City would be able to buy enough food for a thousand people to eat for half a year with about six or seven hundred gold coins.

He remembers the last time he ate candy was when he was 16 years old.

"If I sell it directly to the nobles, it will definitely fetch a sky-high price. After all, it's impossible for them to change their habit of showing off. If I sell it to these merchants, the price may be discounted..."

Marlowe licked the palm of his hand, which had already taken off his gloves, with a sigh in his tone.

Zhang Feng forked a piece of hairtail and before he could say anything, Caroline's cherry mouth had already opened.

This was definitely a windfall for anyone, but Marlowe had no intention of keeping it for himself.

Ma Luo also imitated Zhang Feng's actions and peeled off the outer skin of the sausage, then bit off half of it in one bite.

"How about this? How much do you think this bag of candy is worth?"

What do your own dishes taste like? Don't you have any idea? How dare you complain about the fish smell? The fish is very aggrieved.

Caroline had just finished the sausage in her mouth when Zhang Feng handed her the remaining sausage. Caroline naturally took another bite and her eyes were immediately filled with happiness.

When the conscription plan is launched, Zhang Feng can rest assured to leave it to him.

Marlo and Caroline felt like drooling at the delicious smell.

In fact, the reason why Zhang Feng asked Ma Luo to get the backpack just now was not only because he was lazy, but more because he wanted to test him.

At that time, he successfully stood out from the knights' squires and was personally knighted by the Grand Duke. The candy was the reward he received.

When Caroline heard Zhang Feng's question, she thought for a moment and said, "I think that here, no one can afford such a big bag of candy..."

Zhang Feng said indifferently.

“It’s all food, basically.”

"Fish? Can you eat fish?"

It’s not that Caroline had never eaten meat. On the contrary, as a noble, meat was very common to her, especially pork. However, the pigs in this world were not castrated, so their meat had a strong smell. In addition, there was a lack of seasoning and the chefs’ techniques were relatively simple, so most of the meat here tasted salty, astringent, and smelled like meat.

"fragrant!"

Marlowe thought that being modest might help him win the favor of the city lord, but his hand stretched out involuntarily.

It was a piece of black cone candy the size of his little fingernail, which he ate for ten whole days.

But this is only the standard of Hongye City. Zhang Feng’s own standard is different.

"Then sell them separately. Aren't there many big businessmen in Hongye City? Sell them to them."

More than 20 years have passed, and he has long forgotten the taste of sugar...

Although Zhang Feng didn't know how much these things of his could be sold for in this world, it would definitely not be a small amount. Even if Malo didn't recognize the other things, he should at least recognize this fine rice.

"It doesn't matter if it's cheaper, as long as it can be exchanged for food."

Zhang Feng even estimated the time it would take for Marlo to go back and forth based on his walking speed, and guessed that after getting the things, he came back directly without even stopping.

"Hmm~ Is this meat? Delicious!"

Zhang Feng really wanted to say it.

Zhang Feng took out a sausage and skillfully tore open the packaging with his teeth.

"Would you like to try it?"

For example, Caroline is particularly happy now. She hasn't eaten candy for a long time. This is the sweetest she has ever eaten! The value of this bag of candy alone is inestimable, and it is obvious that there is more than one bag here! Caroline even thinks that Zhang Feng was sent by God to save herself and Hongye City.

"This is instant noodles, this is ham sausage, this is dried noodles, and this is canned fish."

In addition to sugar, there were some other things in the hiking bag.

"It seems that this Knight Marlowe is also a man with a story!"

The pork sausage Zhang Feng bought does not have too much starch and tastes very chewy.

When you open this can of hairtail, the rich aroma immediately fills the air.

Looking at Malo who was watching eagerly at the side, Zhang Feng handed the bag of candy to him and told him to figure out how to eat it himself.

Instead, Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment. Is she so skilled? However, he still fed the hairtail into Caroline's mouth.

"Fish has a strong fishy smell and people think it is a sign of disease, so no one will eat fish."

After hearing Caroline's explanation, Zhang Feng was speechless.

"Mmm~ Delicious! Smells good!"

Caroline was at a loss for words.

"Give."

Zhang Feng also did not treat them differently and handed Marlowe a can of hairtail as well.

Marlowe looked at the can in his hand, not knowing what to do with it, and fell into deep thought.
