Chapter 17 Charles's Legacy

Caroline has eaten rice with essence, but she dares to swear that the rice porridge she ate before was definitely not as delicious as it is now!

The sticky rice, smooth texture, and a light meaty aroma, Caroline has never tasted this extremely delicious texture in her life.

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

But he didn't expect Caroline to be so exaggerated. After all, he was the former wife of the city lord, just a bowl of porridge, which made Zhang Feng think he was looking at the young leader.

"How could 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 was reserved, so she temporarily held it back and looked on the steamed bun. However, as soon as she started, she found that the steamed bun was a bit too soft.

The bread Caroline usually eats is baked from the only bakery in Hongye City. Because Hongye City only has a large oven, even if she is the city lord's wife, she can only eat the bread produced here.

The bread there is extremely hard when baked. Generally, the bread has to be softened with soup before eating. Originally, when she heard that this was a special "bread", she prepared to slice it and put it in the rice porridge to eat, but after searching for it, she did not find a knife.

This is in the house of the city lord and there is no servant, so she naturally feels embarrassed to ask the city lord for it. At worst, she can take a bite. Anyway, she hasn't eaten bread like this.

But when she picked it up, she found a difference. This "bread" called Mantou is very light and soft! It doesn't require any soaking or a knife.

After biting it, the strong aroma of wheat instantly filled the mouth, and a faint sweetness lingered on the tip of her tongue. This was completely different from the sour black bread she usually ate - no, it was incomparable at all!

I usually eat bread just to resist hunger, like a routine. But now eating steamed buns is just about enjoyment, and the more I chew the steamed buns, the more fragrant it becomes, the sweeter it becomes, and the more I chew it, it feels like it 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 weren't for the scent of wheat remaining in her mouth, she even thought it was an illusion.

Caroline felt embarrassed. After all, she lived in a noble 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 was a little out of control under the impact of food.

Zhang Feng didn't know what Caroline was thinking at all. He peeled off the egg in his hand and bit it down. The thick egg yolk exploded in his mouth in an instant. The extremely delicious taste made Zhang Feng very satisfied.

He likes to eat soft-boiled eggs, no matter whether it is nutritious or not, it tastes good.

The last time Caroline ate eggs was a month ago.

"How come this egg is like this?"

Caroline peeled off the egg shell and took a small bite, 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 a little eyes. Zhang Feng pointed to the pot and said:

"Drink lean meat porridge at will, don't be polite to me."

Half an hour later.

Zhang Feng's mouth twitched a little.

Tell her not to be polite, it was indeed not polite at all.

After Caroline finished drinking a whole pot of porridge, Zhang Feng only drank two bowls.

Caroline leaned back slightly in her sitting position, subconsciously touching her slightly round belly. She felt the feeling of happiness for the first time.

Suddenly, he felt a little resentful look on him. Caroline came to her senses instantly. This was not in the castle, but at the new city lord's house. After a while, Caroline quickly sat up straight and kept her elegant.

Zhang Feng didn't expect that Caroline, who looked a little thin, was so edible. A whole pot of lean meat porridge almost went into her stomach, and Zhang Feng was a little unfilled.

Caroline stood up and almost stood firm. She blushed like an apple, and shyly saluted Zhang Feng:

"Mr. Zhang Feng, thank you for your hospitality!"

When we first met, Zhang Feng felt that Caroline should be a relatively cold type. Although she had a blushing habit, she was expressionless in most cases.

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

"Then what you are asking me for? You won't be here to have a free meal!"

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

Caroline quickly denied it, and then said a little nervous.

"Apology? What apologies?"

Zhang Feng was confused. It seemed that there was no conflict between the two. If there was a conflict, could she have a meal here?

"I was disrespectful to you in the castle before-"

"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. That day, the portal in his mind was opened. He was so excited that he ignored the others and left the castle directly, not caring about what was happening in the castle.

Could it be that after I left, something happened in the castle, but even if something happened and I was not present, why would I apologize to me?

Zhang Feng was still confused.

Caroline bit her lip and said to Zhang Feng:

"Please wait a moment."

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

"These are the legacy of Charles before. You are now the new lord, so they all belong to you."

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

Zhang Feng took a brief look and found that the contract includes Red Leaf City, Black Stone Forest, many fields and villages outside the city, some areas of the Senluo River, etc.

Only then did Zhang Feng realize that Charles' territory was so large. He remembered that when he signed the contract with Pansi, Pansi did not mention the places outside Red Leaf City at all. It seemed that Pansi should not have obtained these contracts, and it was a small trick for Zhang Feng.

Fortunately, Caroline is quite sensible and handed over all these things, which will save you a lot of trouble in the future.

"Not bad, but what is this?"

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

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

Caroline opened it carefully, and it was indeed as Zhang Feng expected that some seasonings such as pepper, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, etc. were in small amounts, and some even had only a few pills.

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

"Then what is this?"

He knew the spice, but there was a black and hard cone item in it, and Zhang Feng didn't know what spice it was.

“This is cone sugar.”

Is this sugar? Looking at the cone candy like a baba, Zhang Feng was a little confused. It didn’t seem to have any appetite.

"Apart from these, is there anything else?"

To be honest, Zhang Feng was a little disappointed. Even if Caroline hid now, it would be his in the future. After all, he is a legal baron and it is just a little more time. As for these seasonings, it is not attractive to Zhang Feng. He thinks that these things are better than exchange for a few gold coins.

"And, and that's right, that's..."

Caroline was a little difficult to speak, but in order to avoid angering Zhang Feng again, she whispered in a slight sense:

"After you inherited the title of Charles, you inherit everything from him, including his territory, his people, and - I, I will obey any orders unconditionally..."

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

"ah?"

Zhang Feng was completely confused.
