Chapter 1187 Food and Civilization

As Zhang Tong said to Qin Kuairen, seemingly inconspicuous snacks can actually reflect whether a world is prosperous or not from one side.

Just like this magical world as an example, this is a world where the demons are more demons than demons. Because of the care of magicians, the agriculture here has been pretty good for a long time. Ninety percent of the populace lived at least on potatoes and barley.

Although the food is not very good, but at least you can eat enough.

Of course, it is only limited to eating enough. It is impossible to eat as delicately as possible.

Zhang Tong and Qin Kuairen wandered around in Sylvie City, and now they also wandered around in the Immortal City, which is known as the most prosperous city in the world. There are a lot of shops in this city, where you can buy all kinds of things.

There are everything from daily necessities that residents need to use, to armor and weapons for soldiers, and so on. The more advanced ones are those shops that sell magic items. Zhang Tong, accompanied by Qin Kuairen and other mages, also wandered around and bought some souvenirs to go back.

Of course, Zhang Tong and Qin Kuairen also went to the bakery and various restaurants in the Immortal City.

In the largest bakery in the Immortal City: Croissant's bakery, Zhang Tong smelled the aroma of freshly baked bread, and he took a deep breath.

"It smells so good." Zhang Tong praised, the sweetness of baking will always bring a warm and sweet sense of happiness.

Croissant's bakery has three floors, providing an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters. The first floor is the baking room, where more than 20 bakers and apprentices are working hard to knead and bake.

The third and second floors are for sale, and the freshly baked bread is put on the shelves one by one by the apprentices, and they are sold out quickly.

The breads sold on the second floor are all staple breads, which are hard breads that are hard to eat but very dense. This kind of bread is usually eaten with soup.

The third floor sells a variety of snacks and baked goods.

The second floor had the most customers. Zhang Tong saw many women dressed like housewives carrying baskets and buying three or four yuan a catty of whole wheat bread and multigrain bread at one time. Of course the best seller is black bread. The taste of black bread is really bad, and it has a strange sour taste of over-fermentation. Because it contains a lot of bran, the taste is not very good.

But this thing is the cheapest staple bread.

So one-third of the bread sold in the bakery on the second floor is black bread.

But on the third floor, the decoration is completely different. The bakery shop on the second floor does not have any exquisite decoration. There are only rows of grills holding freshly baked bread. And the bread is kept in the counters. You have to tell the waiter what bread you want and how much you want, and the waiter will install it after you check out.

The bakery on the third floor looks like the old-fashioned European bakery Zhang Tong has seen on TV. On the light yellow walls, the fresh bread is displayed on rows of solid wood shelves. There is also a five-meter-long solid wood long table in the middle of the room, on which exquisite bread and pastries are placed on wooden trays.

The staple bread sold on the second floor is multigrain bread, brown bread, whole wheat bread and the like. This type of bread cannot be said to be unpalatable, but it takes a lot of time and effort to chew.

On the third floor, white bread made of pure white flour mixed with milk and butter is sold, which is soft and silky. This kind of bread is much tastier than those staple breads on the second floor.

In addition to the staple food milk and white bread that only rich people can afford every day, there are many other baked goods on the third floor. For example, nut bread mixed with nuts and baked together, raisin bread mixed with raisins, etc. According to mixing different ingredients to get different flavors of bread, there are more than 20 types of bread on the third floor.

In addition to bread sales, the third floor also provides dine-in. On the side facing the street on the third floor, there is a large terrace with ten tables where you can have a simple lunch.

Sitting on the terrace facing the street on the third floor, Zhang Tong, Qin Kuiren and his younger brother Feng Meier were enjoying their lunch. Sliced ​​nut bread, raisin bread, bruschetta and jam, and the drink is milk.

"The Croissant Bakery is the best bakery in the city. It produces the best bread in the whole continent!" Zhang Tong felt a little proud when Feng Meier was talking.

It was probably because last night after I had shocked the taste buds of five legendary mages with exotic snacks, Mage Carter secretly called Feng Meier to him and said something. Maybe now Feng Meier already knows something, so he couldn't wait to show the excellence of this world in front of Zhang Tong all the way today.

"The bread here is delicious, and the price is not very expensive. Commoners and mages will come here to buy." Feng Meier's words were translated to Zhang Tong by Qin Kuairen.

Zhang Tong picked up a piece of sliced ​​nut bread and took a bite, um, it was baked well, but it was just good. It's not as amazing as it is, and it's even not as good as the taste of toasted bread from well-known chain stores in China.

Because bread does not mean that the more it is made according to the traditional recipe, the better the taste. The most important thing that affects the taste of bread is yeast, except for the basic flour, oil, sugar and milk.

Large companies in the baking industry invest more in yeast research and development each year than the ten-year turnover of this croissant bakery. According to Zhang Tong's standards, the bread from Nuan Nuan Shi Shi in Honeycomb City is also better than this one.

"It's not soft enough, not silky enough, and not very fragrant." Zhang Tong commented on the nut bread. Feng Meier was very unconvinced: "Can you cook? You can do it!"

Regarding Feng Meier's words, Zhang Tong smiled and remained silent. He silently took out a pack of Xiaobai and handed it to Feng Meier softly: "Try it."

Feng Meier smiled, tore open the package and took a bite: "The taste is... no... um..."

He has no voice.

Although it is said that industrially produced food is often not as good as handmade for people on earth. But not all handmade foods are comparable to industrialized foods. It's like for more than half of the people in the world, the dishes made by their cooking skills are completely inferior to the various semi-finished products sold in supermarkets.

Zhang Tong was eating nut bread, looking at the tool translator Qin Kuiren: "Xiao Qin, when will your teacher hold this meeting? I can't stay in this world for too long, my wife is pregnant. Pretty much let them make up their minds, or we're going back."

Qin Kuairen was studying the teacher's magic notes there. The purpose of his coming to this world was to learn some new medical magic for chasing Chen Xingxing. Hearing this, Qin Kuairen raised his head: "I guess it should be soon. But Lao Zhang, is it really okay for us to leave all the snacks in the suitcase to my teacher? Those things are high in oil, salt and sugar, so I won't eat them." Are you diabetic?"

"Hey, you have to believe in the physique of the legendary mage." Zhang Tong patted Qin Kuairen on the shoulder.

…………

In the highest level of Mage Carter's Mage Tower, a meeting about the future direction of this world is being held.

Five legendary mages, a big round table, and a mountain of snacks piled up on the table.

Several bowls of instant noodles are emitting white smoke.
