From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 82 Another world version of sugar cane? (Seek to follow up)

There are many things in this world that are different from the previous life, including plants, animals, minerals... Many aspects, let’s talk about minerals, gold, silver, copper, iron and other minerals are only slightly different from the previous life.

But there are also strange metals such as magic crystal, mithril, thorium, gilt, magic pattern iron, etc., which have some unimaginable properties.

The same is true for plants, not to mention pines, cypresses, bamboo willows, rice and potatoes, but at the same time there are many plants that did not exist in previous lives, some of which are common and common, while others have some unique abilities or functions.

It is said that in the Warcraft Forest, there are all kinds of weird plants, and some even hunt animals and Warcraft for food, which is beyond the scope of ordinary plants.

Not to mention animals, in addition to the strange species, there are supernatural creatures such as Warcraft, and even the existence of giant dragons, which are powerful creatures he has seen with his own eyes.

So it is not surprising that Ryan found a plant similar to sugarcane. After all, the world is so big, and anything is possible.

However, an idea popped up in his mind, what can sugar cane be used for?Eating is only the most basic application, and sugar extraction is its main value.

In this world, sugar is a luxury, and the main source of sweetness for nobles is honey. For example, honey is added to make some desserts, preserved fruits and the like.

But honey is too precious. Even if the profession of beekeepers has been developed, it is far from enough compared to consumption, and civilians cannot afford it.

As a result, caramel made from malt and corn began to appear. Although the output was much higher than that of honey, the production of grain limited the production of caramel or maltose.

For ordinary families, sugar is still a luxury. Many people may have never eaten "sugar" in their entire lives. This is unimaginable in previous lives, but it is quite normal in this world.

Ryan has never been short of sugar in his life, only because of Mrs. Kerinman's doting and the Black family's wealth, but this does not mean that Ryan does not know the value of sugar, on the contrary, he understands that it is an item comparable to salt, iron, and wine. Products of.

If you can use this green stick to squeeze out sugar, you will definitely not worry about selling it.

"Well~ I have to find a chance to experiment. If the output is right, I can really try it." Ryan began to recall the steps of sugar making while feeling the sweetness in his mouth.

Ryan is very short of money now, very short of money. He originally thought that a few thousand gold delores would be able to complete the early stage construction of the territory, but it turned out that he was too optimistic.

It has only been a month since he came to the territory, but Ryan has already spent as much as five or six thousand gold delores. Although pensions account for the majority of them, it is also related to his constant actions all the time.

After all, there are still several projects starting at the same time, and all of them are waiting to be fed. Now the territory is a waste of money, and money is needed everywhere.

Although there are taxes/taxes that can be supplemented, but the population is so large, and there are no special industries, there is nothing to hope for.

If you want to meet the requirements of territory construction and rapid development, you can only increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and the reduction of expenditure has reached the extreme, so you can only choose to increase revenue.

However, although the Kanna Territory is large, there is nothing to sell. There were still a few mines, but after the destructive mining of the previous lords, now there are only sporadic outputs, and there is no hope.

Originally, Ryan was worrying, but now Qinggan opened a door for him!

"Ray, what's the matter with you?" Dreyer Ryan was a little dazed, and couldn't help touching his arm.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just wonder if this green pole has other functions besides quenching thirst. After all, the output is so high."

Ryan smiled. Although he was excited, he didn't express his thoughts. After all, it is not certain whether it will be successful or not.

"This thing has been around for so many years, and no one has discovered that it still has any effect." Hevian frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't think of any effect.

Just as they were talking, a tangy aroma lingered in the tip of everyone's noses, causing them to put down their wine glasses involuntarily. This aroma was somewhat similar to the smell of fried food, and people's mouths could not help but start to secrete saliva.

All eyes turned to the direction of the kitchen, where the smell came from, and even the drunk Allen shrugged his nose.

Soon, Joel, who was dressed as a chef, came forward with a few people carrying a few tightly covered dinner plates, and said respectfully and confidently: "The great Baron, this is the food I cooked. Please taste it."

Ryan and the others all cast their gazes on those trays. Although they were tightly covered, the faint scent inside made them swallow.

None of the people present could be regarded as people who had never seen the world, but the scent was like a seductive goblin, seducing the gluttons of several people, making them a little impatient.

Joel personally lifted the lid on the dinner plate for everyone, and a hot white mist steamed out, spreading out with a tangy fragrance, which shocked people's spirits.

The dishes are actually very simple, just one steak per person, but the presentation is very delicate, and the attractive color of the steak is also very exciting.

After seeking Ryan's consent, Ham carefully took out a bright white metal strip, poked it on each plate of steak, and then took it under the firelight to observe carefully, and only retreated respectfully after finding that the color had not changed.

The thing in his hand is made of a special metal that can detect toxins, which is similar to the legendary silver needle poison test, but I don’t know if the silver needle test is accurate, this is true.

Although the body of Ryan's high-ranking knight is highly resistant to most of the toxins, he must be careful, after all, Joel has not yet gained his trust.

Seeing that there was no problem with the poison test, Ryan and the others couldn't wait to pick up the knife and fork and start eating. Not to mention, this Joel really didn't brag, the steaks he cooked were indeed delicious.

Ryan is even more emotional. Karna is a remote place, and there are not many good cooks. The chefs in his castle, the cooking is not bad, but it has nothing to do with delicious food. It is really hard to say. .

As a extravagant nobleman, this is really unbearable. If he didn't have suitable candidates, he would have fired those half-baked chefs long ago.

And now, he has indeed recruited a talent!
"Mr. Joel, right? Where did you work before? Steak is not a food that ordinary people can consume." He took out a handkerchief and wiped the oil stains from the corner of his mouth.

"My lord, I used to be the chef of a lord in Chelt, but after the orcs invaded, the lord fled into the castle, and I became a refugee here, thanks to your protection, kind and great lord .”

Joel's words were full of gratitude.

"Very well, you will be the chef of the castle in the future, and I will give you twenty silver delores a month."

"As you order, sir."

"Call the young master."
