Otherworld Management Manual

Chapter 16 Seems out of control

Ten minutes ago, Caroline brought Knight Marlowe to Zhang Feng's residence.

But along the way, Caroline was not in a good mood because she heard some rumors.

The reason why Hongye City became like this is because of Caroline!

The previous city lord was choked to death after eating a meal. The previous city lord came to Hongye City for three months and managed Hongye City pretty well, but just because he married Caroline a few days ago, in order to please Caroline Huanxin, went to hunt bears in the Sunset Mountains, and died too.

Many people put the blame on Caroline.

Call her a disaster star, call her Kefu!

What's more, she is a witch!

You must know that in this world, if you are recognized as a witch by the church, you will be hanged!

Marlowe Knight naturally punished those who were talking behind their backs, but it was of no use at all, the rumors had spread, and Caroline's reputation had been reduced to the lowest.

This made Caroline very uncomfortable. She obviously worked very hard to contribute to Hongye City, but those ignorant civilians couldn't see it at all, and instead blamed all of this 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. Naturally, Caroline can't go in with a straight face.

She simmered outside the door for a while. Having been exposed to aristocratic education since she was a child, she quickly changed her face and tried to show a charming smile.

Caroline cheered for himself in his heart: Caroline, you can do it!

but……

"smell good!"

A burst of seductive fragrance disrupted all the momentum she had managed to lift up!

"It's from the city lord's house!"

Marlowe also smelled it, and he immediately locked the source of the scent.

“It smells like meat!”

Caroline's eyes lit up even more, she hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

Meat has always been the food of the nobles, and commoners rarely have the opportunity to eat meat. Although there are some animals in the Black Stone Forest not far from Hongye City, this is a hunting ground for the city lord. hanged.

The current situation in Hongye City is a bit special. There are only two knights left, plus some soldiers. It is barely enough to guard Hongye City, but it is not enough to go hunting. Besides, hunting requires the approval of the city lord.

Now there is not much food in Hongye City, let alone meat. Even if they are the few high-level personnel left in Hongye City, they don't have much meat to eat.

Especially now, in the case of taking the lead in frugality, the daily food is unadulterated black bread, which is a little better than that of ordinary people.

Caroline took a deep breath, abandoned some other thoughts, and went to knock on the door herself.

Boom boom boom.

Originally, she was ready for a protracted battle. If Zhang Feng didn't open the door, she wouldn't leave, but she didn't expect that the door would open just after knocking on the door and before she put her hand down.

Caroline put her hands down calmly, her face a little embarrassed.

But seeing this particularly good-looking new city lord again, Caroline breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as she is willing to communicate, even if the city lord is dissatisfied with herself and wants to show her face, but for the sake of Hongye City, she can only admit it.

It's just that Zhang Feng, the city lord, didn't have the anger and inhumanity he imagined, but instead had a bright smile on his face.

"is there anything?"

"Have you had breakfast? Do you want to join us?"

breakfast?

What's the meaning? morning meal? Want to eat in the morning?

In this world, people always eat two meals a day, namely lunch and dinner. They don’t have the habit of eating breakfast. Of course, they don’t have this condition. Not dying, that's all good.

But now it's not the point of discussing whether breakfast is too early, but the city lord invited her to join him?

"Gulong~"

Smelling the fragrance in the room, the sound of swallowing saliva was very clear.

Zhang Feng understood immediately, and he led Caroline directly into the house without further words.

Knight Marlowe didn't follow in, but stood straight outside the house, acting as the guard.

As soon as she entered the door, the rich aroma came directly to her face. Caroline, who was not used to eating breakfast, suddenly felt her stomach growling.

"I have seen the Lord City Lord!"

Caroline only reacted at this time, and quickly saluted Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng knew that this was the rule here, and as the city lord, he accepted it frankly.

"sit."

Zhang Feng pointed to the dining table, and then went to rewash the bowls and plates.

It's casual, so Caroline can't sit randomly, the main seat belongs to Zhang Feng, she sits at the head of Zhang Feng.

Since she didn't know the temper of the new city lord, Caroline naturally carried out the orders of the city lord absolutely, and sat obediently on the chair like a good student.

"It's so clean and there's no smell at all!"

Caroline murmured secretly in her heart.

She knew that most people lived in the same room with livestock, and the smell was indescribable. Besides the castle, it was the first time she saw such a clean place.

Soon, Zhang Feng took a clean dinner plate, small bowl and spoon and placed it in front of Caroline.

Then a small pot was brought to the dining table.

"Is this rice porridge?"

Looking at the white 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 here, the output of polished rice is very low, which makes it very expensive. Only a small number of nobles can afford polished rice.

Caroline had eaten it a few times a long time ago, and the taste that was completely different from bread was nostalgic.

As a nobleman, she knows the value of polished rice. Just this small pot of polished rice porridge can definitely be exchanged for 100 kilograms of rye! Not to mention, there is a strong meat flavor in the pot, which is really mouth-watering.

"What is the identity of this new city owner..."

Zhang Feng, bathed in the morning sun, seemed to be covered with a veil of mystery.

Zhang Feng naturally didn't know what she was thinking. He brought four steamed buns and four eggs, and it was just right to put two steamed buns and two eggs on each person's dinner plate.

In fact, steamed buns and eggs were only enough for Zhang Feng to eat alone. Perhaps because of time travel, his appetite has increased recently. What about the cauldron.

"My lord, this is—"

Caroline looked at the scary white steamed buns on the dinner plate, and asked with some doubts.

"Uh, this is a steamed bun. You can understand it as a different kind of bread."

Zhang Feng briefly explained that they are all made of noodles anyway, so it is reasonable to say that it is bread... I guess.

But it's okay not to explain, but Caroline was startled by an explanation.

"The bread is so white, even the Queen's bread is not so white!"

The staple food of nobles and commoners in this era is almost bread, but commoners eat black bread, while nobles only eat white bread made by filtering countless flour.

But it is white bread, that is only relative to black bread. In fact, it is still dark yellow. The visual impact of such a white "bread" in front of Caroline can be imagined.

As for the eggs, Caroline calmed down a lot. After all, although eggs were considered a luxury, for nobles, they could 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 came here to apologize and beg Zhang Feng to forgive her, but why is she sitting at the dining table now?

Looking at the polished rice porridge in front of her, Caroline swallowed, whether to eat or not.

Zhang Feng didn't bother with her, and tasted it by himself first. The taste was not bad. Although the preserved egg was missing, it didn't affect the taste much.

Seeing that Zhang Feng had started, Caroline seemed to have lost control of her body. She picked up the spoon with her slender white fingers, scooped a small mouthful of porridge and handed it to her mouth.

In an instant, Caroline's eyes widened.

Wow!

Such a taste!

Is this polished rice?

How spicy and delicious is this meat!

How can it be so delicious!
