Coo coo coo…
Qin Feng's stomach growled.
He had been so engrossed in making the new product that he had forgotten the time. Now that his stomach was growling, he felt hungry.
"Fortunately, I have two plans…"
Qin Feng muttered and returned to the kitchen. After a while, he came out with a steaming hot bowl.
The food in the bowl was like porridge, but not porridge. It had a salty and fragrant taste.
"It's a clump of pickled vegetables!"
Ying Zheng recognized it at a glance, and couldn't help but lick his lips.
"I haven't eaten this thing for a long time…"
A ball of brown sugar glutinous rice cake and a cup of brown sugar ginger tea. It was delicious, but it also filled his mouth with a greasy taste.
At this moment, he was lacking a bowl of salty and bitter staple food!
"What are you doing?"
Qin Feng glanced at him and tilted his head.
"You want to eat too?"
Ying Zheng paused briefly, then nodded.
"Alright then! I'll reward you with half a bowl!"
Qin Feng scooped out half of the pickled vegetables from the big bowl and placed it into another bowl. He waved his hand and said generously,
"The combination of sweet and salty is the true taste!”
"Uncle, please!"
He was a businessman, and he was particular about being kind to others. The people he befriended now might be his connections in the future!
Ying Zheng was speechless.
"Reward me?" He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He had always been the one to reward others when they begged him. He had never thought that…he would be rewarded today?
Or half a bowl of pickled vegetables?
This feeling…was too strange!
However, he wasn't angry. Instead, he was happy.
"Good! Thank you for the reward, hahaha!"
Ying Zheng laughed out loud and said. He did not stand on ceremony, and took the half bowl of pickled vegetables and began to eat it heartily!
The pickled vegetable lump itself had a salty and bitter taste. It was not a rare food and could even be said to be a common food for poor people.
Ever since Duke Xiao of Qin, Ying Quliang, appointed Shang Yang to carry out the reform, the country had become increasingly prosperous. This crude and simple staple food had long been removed from the imperial dishes in the palace.
However, at this moment, Ying Zheng was eating this bowl of pickled vegetables, and he felt very comfortable, and his appetite was greatly satisfied!
It was so much better than the mediocre meat and vegetables in Zhangtai Palace!
"Delicious, really delicious!"
Ying Zheng praised while grabbing another brown sugar glutinous rice cake and said happily,
"It's salty with sourness, bitter with sweetness. It really tastes good!”
"I can't stop!"
Qin Feng was also holding a piece of glutinous rice cake. As he chewed, he smiled and said,
"Of course. There are only five flavors in the world. The pickled cabbage and brown sugar glutinous rice cake account for four of the five flavors. Naturally, it can be considered the best taste in the world!”
"You're a blessed person!"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"Oh? What do you mean by blessed?" he asked.
"Isn't being the first customer of the number one sugar merchant in the world considered lucky?”
Qin Feng grinned.
"When my name spreads far and wide in the future, you can still brag to your little grandson that you're the first person in the world to eat brown sugar!”
Ying Zheng was speechless.
Puhahahaha!
After a moment of shock, he couldn't help but laugh.
In this world, countless people flattered him every day that he was blessed and had the destiny. This was the first time someone had proven that he was blessed from this perspective.
Interesting, truly interesting!
"What an ignorant brat! Dream on!"
Ying Zheng stopped smiling, pointed at Qin Feng and said,
"Do you think that you can make a fortune and become famous just by making such a dessert?”
"Indeed, this thing you made has the potential to sweep the world! However, do you know how many people are jealous of the potential and profits? How many people would put down their faces to snatch your business?”
"Do you understand the principle that a man is innocent, but he will be punished if he holds a treasure?”
When Qin Feng heard this, the smile on his face froze.
He had been too engrossed in looking forward to the future and had neglected the dangers of the world. Now that he was suddenly reminded, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him!
That enthusiasm had also diminished quite a bit.
"Since you are the founder, you may be able to earn a considerable profit, but to be on par with Wu's Luo and Ba's Widow Qing? You're too naive!"
Ying Zheng said bluntly,
"Widow Ba Qing is the leader of the Tu people of Ba Shu. She has the highest prestige in the Ba Shu region and has the ability to mobilize the Tu army! In addition, she had the geographical advantage and firmly controlled the mines of Ba Shu. This was why she could become the number one mining merchant in the world!”
"As for Wu's Luo, even though he was a nobody, he had the ability to trade with the Yue family, Donghu, and Xiongnu in the Western Regions. Because Great Qin lacked cattle and horses, they needed him as a middleman to become the number one horse merchant in the world!”
"These two people have their own foundations and follow the trend of the world. Do you think you can compare to them? Or…do you have any power or backing?”
"..."
He really wanted to say-what are you afraid of? I have the system!
However, he also knew that as a level 0 player, the system's ability was still very weak and could not play a decisive role.
Although the other party was not polite, he was indeed right!
Then…what should he do? How could he protect his own land after the brown sugar industry became popular?
Qin Feng sank into deep thought…
There was a brief silence between the two of them.
Ying Zheng found it a little funny when he saw Qin Feng suddenly become listless.
A young man's temperament was still shallow.
When he wanted to do business, he could be full of pride. When he encountered setbacks, he could also be depressed all of a sudden.
However, thinking about himself back then, wasn't he like this too?
"Speaking of which, if that child didn't die, he should be as old as him, right?”
Looking at Qin Feng, Ying Zheng murmured. His tone was tinged with melancholy and lament, as well as an indescribable meaning…
He slowly got up and looked around with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, he opened the sugar bucket.
Inside, the black and red brown sugar brick was exposed.
"What is this?"
Ying Zheng took out the sugar brick, observed it carefully, and clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Tea bricks?"
"Oh, that's brown sugar brick. That's how it looks when it's made.”Qin Feng raised his eyes slightly and explained," Compared to cerealose, brown sugar is hard when made into bricks. It's not afraid of being dry or hot and can be carried over long distances.”
"Take this sugar brick for example. Even if you bring it to the Western Region or the Southern Region, the taste will not change even after a few months.”
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.
"This is really good stuff!"
He praised,
"At first, I thought you were just boasting, but now it seems that this item can indeed become something like salt, tea, and cloth, something that can be circulated in the world!”
"In the future, it might sold well in the world!"
However, this heartfelt praise was unable to make Qin Feng happy.
"What's the use of sold well?"
Qin Feng held his chin and said with a bitter face,
"Just like what you said, an innocent man will be punished for holding a treasure. How can a small merchant like me guard such a huge treasure?”
"Who knows, he might even get himself killed…Sigh, how f * cking frustrating!”
He could not help but curse!
In Xianyang, where nobles were everywhere, this was very likely to happen!
But he…was helpless.
What a dark feudal society!
