Chapter 16 - as if out of control
Ten minutes ago, Caroline brought Knight Marlowe to Zhang Feng’s residence.
But along the way, Caroline was in a bad mood because she heard some rumors.
The reason why Hongyecheng is like this is because of Caroline!
The last city lord choked to death after eating a meal. The last city lord came to Hongye City for three months, and managed Hongye City fairly well, but because he married Caroline a few days ago, in order to beg Caroline Happily, went hunting bears in the Sunset Mountains and died too.
Many people threw the pot on Caroline.
Said she was a disaster star, said she was a coward!
What’s more, she is a witch!
You must know that in this world, if you are identified as a witch by the church, you will be hanged!
Knight Marlowe naturally punished those who chewed their tongues on their backs, but it was useless, the rumors had spread, and Caroline’s reputation had been reduced to a minimum.
This made Caroline very uncomfortable. She obviously worked hard to contribute to Hongye City, but those ignorant commoners couldn’t see it at all, and instead blamed it all on Caroline.
All the way to Zhang Feng’s residence, Caroline’s face was not very good.
However, today’s main target is not these civilians, but Zhang Feng, the city lord, Caroline naturally can’t go in with a straight face.
She brewed for a while outside the door. She had been exposed to noble education since she was a child, and she quickly changed her face, trying her best to show a charming smile.
Caroline encouraged himself in his heart: Caroline, you can do it!
but…
“smell good!”
A burst of tempting fragrance disrupted her aura that she finally lifted up!
“It’s from the Lord City Lord’s house!”
Marlowe smelled it too, and he immediately pinpointed the source of the scent.
“It tastes like meat!”
Caroline’s eyes brightened even more, she hadn’t eaten meat for a long time.
Meat has always been the food of the nobles, and the commoners rarely have the opportunity to eat meat. Although there are some animals in the Black Rock Forest not far from Hongye City, this is the hunting ground for the Lord of the City. If there is unauthorized poaching, it is necessary to hanged.
The current situation of Hongye City is a bit special. There are only two knights left, plus some soldiers, it is barely enough to protect Hongye City, but it is not enough to go hunting. Besides, if you want to hunt, you must have the approval of the city owner.
Right now, there is not much food in Hongye City, let alone meat. Even if they are the only high-level personnel in Hongye City, they don’t have much meat to eat.
Especially now, under the circumstance of taking the lead in frugality, the daily food is unadulterated black bread, which is a little better than the commoners.
Caroline took a deep breath, abandoned some other thoughts, and went to knock on the door herself.
dong dong dong.
Originally, she was ready for a protracted battle. If Zhang Feng didn’t open the door, she would not leave, but she didn’t expect that the door would open as soon as she knocked on the door and before she put down her hand.
Caroline lowered her hand calmly, her face a little embarrassed.
But seeing this very handsome new city lord again, Caroline breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she is willing to communicate, even if the city owner is dissatisfied with herself and wants to show her face, but for the sake of Hongye City, she can only recognize it.
It’s just that Zhang Feng, the city lord, did not have the anger and inhumanity he imagined, but instead had a bright smile on his face.
“anything?”
“Have you eaten breakfast? Would you like to join us?”
Breakfast?
What’s the meaning? morning meal? Want to eat in the morning?
In this world, they always eat two meals a day, one for lunch and one for dinner. They do not have the habit of eating breakfast. Of course, they do not have this condition. For many people, even if they eat one meal a day, as long as they are hungry Don’t die, that’s all good.
But now it’s not the point of discussing whether breakfast is too early, but the Lord of the City invites her?
“Gulong~”
Smelling the fragrance in the room, the sound of swallowing saliva was particularly clear.
Zhang Feng immediately understood, he didn’t say any more, and directly led Caroline into the room.
Knight Marlowe did not follow, but stood straight outside the house as a doorman.
As soon as she entered the door, the strong fragrance came directly to her face. Caroline, who was not used to eating breakfast, suddenly felt her stomach growl.
“I have seen Lord City Lord!”
Caroline only reacted at this time, and hurriedly saluted like Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng knew that this was the rule here, and as the city owner, he accepted it calmly.
“sit.”
Zhang Feng pointed to the dining table, then went to wash the bowls and plates again.
Saying it casually, Caroline can’t sit around, the main seat is Zhang Feng, and she sits under Zhang Feng.
Since she didn’t know what the new city lord’s temperament was, Caroline naturally followed the city lord’s orders absolutely, and sat obediently on the chair like a three-good student.
“It’s so clean here, and there’s no peculiar smell!”
Caroline murmured secretly in her heart.
She knew that most people lived in the same room with livestock, and the smell was indescribable. Except for the castle, she was the first to see such a clean place.
Soon, Zhang Feng took a clean plate, a small bowl and a spoon and placed it in front of Caroline.
Then he brought a small pot to the table.
“Is this polished rice porridge?”
Looking at the white polished rice porridge in the pot, Caroline subconsciously licked her lips.
The staple food of most people in this world is bread. Due to the climate, the output of milled rice is very low, which makes it very expensive. Only a few nobles can afford milled rice.
Caroline had eaten it a few times a long time ago, and the taste so different from bread made people nostalgic.
As an aristocrat, she knows the value of polished rice. Just a small pot of polished rice porridge can definitely be exchanged for 100 kilograms of rye! Not to mention, there is still a strong meat aroma in the pot, which is really greedy.
“What is the identity of this new city owner…”
Zhang Feng, who was bathed in the morning sun, seemed to be covered with a mysterious veil.
Zhang Feng naturally didn’t know what she was thinking. He brought four steamed buns and four eggs. It was just right to put two steamed buns and two eggs on each person’s plate.
In fact, the steamed buns and eggs were only enough for Zhang Feng. Maybe it was because of time travel. His appetite has changed a lot recently, but since people are here, he can’t be stingy. The big deal is that he will drink more porridge later. What about the cauldron.
“Sir City Lord, this is—”
Looking at the scary white steamed buns on the dinner plate, Caroline asked with some doubts. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
“Uh, this is a steamed bun, you can understand it as a different kind of bread.”
Zhang Feng explained it briefly. Anyway, it’s all made of noodles, and it’s also true to say that it’s bread…
But it’s okay not to explain, but Caroline was taken aback when she explained.
“Bread so white, even Queen’s bread is not so white!”
The staple food of nobles and commoners in this era was almost all bread, but commoners only ate black bread, while the nobles made white bread made by filtering countless flours.
But when it comes to white bread, that’s only relative to brown bread. In fact, it is still dark yellow, and the visual impact of such a white “bread” in front of Caroline can be imagined.
As for eggs, Caroline is a lot more calm. After all, eggs are considered a luxury, but for nobles, they can still eat them all the time with a little money.
“Eat, you’re welcome.”
Zhang Feng personally served Caroline a bowl of porridge, which made her a little flattered.
Caroline didn’t know what was going on with her. She obviously came to apologize and asked Zhang Feng for forgiveness, but why is she sitting at the dining table now?
Looking at the polished rice porridge in front of her, Caroline swallowed her saliva, whether to eat or not.
Zhang Feng didn’t care about her. He tasted it first, and the taste was not bad. Although the preserved egg was missing, it had little effect on the taste.
Seeing that Zhang Feng had already started, Caroline seemed to have lost control of her body. She picked up the spoon with her long, fair fingers, scooped a small mouthful of porridge and handed it to her mouth.
In an instant, Caroline’s eyes widened.
Wow!
This taste!
Is this the polished rice?
How spicy and fragrant is this meat!
How can it be so delicious!
