Chapter 17 Charles' Legacy

Caroline has eaten polished rice, but she dares to swear that the polished rice porridge she ate before is definitely not as good as it is now!

Sticky polished rice, smooth taste, and a light meaty aroma, this extremely delicious taste, Caroline has never tasted it in her life.

Zhang Feng knew that due to low productivity, the living standards of human beings 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 wife of the former city lord. It was just a bowl of porridge, which made Zhang Feng think that he was looking after the little master.

"How can this steamed bun be so soft!"

After taking a sip of the porridge, although Caroline wanted to finish it all at once, she knew she had to be reserved, so she held back for a while and focused on the steamed buns, but as soon as she started to use them, she found that the steamed buns were a bit soft too much.

The bread Caroline usually eats is baked from the only bakery in Hongye City, because there is only one large oven in Hongye City, so even if she is the wife of the city lord, she can only eat the bread produced here.

The bread there is extremely hard when baked. Under normal circumstances, the bread must be soaked in soup to soften it before eating. Originally, when she heard that it was a special "bread", she planned to slice it and soak it in rice porridge to eat, but she didn't find the knife after searching around.

This is at the Lord's house, and there are no servants, so she is naturally embarrassed to ask the Lord for it, at worst, she will take a bite, anyway, it's not like she hasn't eaten bread like this before.

But when she picked it up, she found a difference. This "bread" called Mantou was very light and soft! There is no need for soup at all, and no need for a knife.

After one bite, the strong wheat aroma instantly filled the mouth, and there was also a faint sweetness lingering on the tip of the tongue, which was completely different from the sour black bread she usually ate—no, there was no comparison at all!

Usually eating bread is just to ward off hunger, like a routine. But eating steamed buns now is all about enjoyment, and the more you chew, the more fragrant the steamed buns become, the sweeter you chew, there is a feeling that people can't stop.

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

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

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

Zhang Feng didn't know what was going on in Caroline's mind at all. He peeled off the egg in his hand and bit it down. The thick egg yolk burst in his mouth instantly. Zhang Feng was very satisfied with the incomparably delicious taste.

He likes to eat soft-boiled eggs, whether they are nutritious or not, as long as they are delicious.

The last time Caroline ate eggs was a month ago.

"Why is this egg like this?"

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

What kind of fairy egg is this, it's so delicious!

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

After watching Caroline eat two steamed buns, two eggs and a bowl of porridge, she still looked at the pot with some helplessness. Zhang Feng pointed to the pot and said:

"Drink lean meat porridge as you like, don't be polite to me."

half an hour later.

Zhang Feng's mouth twitched.

Tell her not to be polite, she really is not polite at all.

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

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

Suddenly feeling a bit of resentful eyes on her, Caroline came back to her senses in an instant, this is not in the castle, but in the house of the new castellan, with a swipe,

Caroline sat up quickly, gracefully.

Zhang Feng did not expect that Caroline, who looked skinny, could eat so much. A small pot of lean meat porridge almost went into her stomach, and Zhang Feng was not full.

Caroline stood up and almost couldn't stand still. She blushed like an apple, and saluted Zhang Feng shyly in thanks:

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

When they met for the first time before, Zhang Feng felt that this Caroline should be a relatively cold type. Although there is a problem of blushing, she is expressionless in most cases.

But now after having a meal together, Zhang Feng found that she was not as cold as imagined, even a little cute, and the relationship between the two was quite close, Zhang Feng asked casually:

"Then why are you looking for me? You can't just come here for dinner!"

"Of course not, I... I'm here to apologize to you, and I hope to get your forgiveness."

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

"Apologize? Sorry for what?"

Zhang Feng was stunned. There seemed to be no conflict between the two of them. If there was a conflict, could she be allowed to eat here?

"I was the one who disrespected you in the castle—"

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

Zhang Feng still didn't understand. If he remembered correctly, he had been to the castle once, and the portal in his mind opened that day. He was so excited that he left the castle without caring about other people. He didn't care about the castle. what happened.

Could it be that after I left, something happened in the castle, but even if something happened, I was not there, so why do you apologize?

Zhang Feng was still at a loss.

Caroline bit her lip and said to Zhang Feng:

"Please wait a moment."

Then without waiting for Zhang Feng to reply, she walked over to open the door, took a big box from Marlowe Knight, and came to Zhang Feng again, Caroline said solemnly:

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

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

Zhang Feng took a brief look, and the contract included Hongye City, Blackstone Forest, many fields and villages outside the city, parts of the Senluo River, and so on.

Only then did Zhang Feng discover that Charles's territory was so large. He remembered that when he signed the contract with Pan Xi, Pan Xi didn't mention places other than Hongye City at all. It seems that Pan Xi probably didn't get these contracts. Give Zhang Feng a look.

But fortunately, this Caroline is quite sensible, and handed over all these things, which saved a lot of trouble in the future.

"Yes, but what is this?"

Looking at the small box, Zhang Feng smelled a familiar smell.

"This is Charles' treasure, and it is also the most valuable thing in the castle!"

Caroline opened it carefully, and sure enough, as Zhang Feng expected, some Chinese prickly ash, pepper, cinnamon, cloves and other spices were in very small quantities, some even had only a few grains.

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

"Then what is this?"

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

"It's cone sugar."

This is sugar? Looking at the cone sugar that looks like a papa, Zhang Feng is a little dazed, it doesn't look like he has any appetite, okay?

"Apart from these, is there anything else?"

To be honest, Zhang Feng was a little disappointed. Even if Caroline hid the contract now, it would be his sooner or later. After all, he is a legal baron, so it was just a waste of time. As for these seasonings, for Zhang Feng For Feng, it wasn't attractive at all. He thought these things might as well be exchanged for a few gold coins.

"Also, there is, that is..."

Caroline was a little hard to say, but in order to avoid angering Zhang Feng again, she whispered a little coyly:

"After you inherit the title of Charles, you will inherit everything from him, including the territory, the people, and - me, I will obey any order you give unconditionally..."

After speaking, Caroline quickly lowered her head, her ears blushing.

"what?"

Zhang Feng was completely dumbfounded.

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