Douluo's Fate Modification System

Chapter 100 One day, I will let the people all over the world eat sugar fire

The next day, Xia Ling woke up leisurely in an open hood, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Zhu Zhuqing sitting cross-legged beside him.

"Tianling, you woke up! You were yesterday."

"Wait, I'll talk about it later, help me open the storage ring." Xia Ling interrupted her feebly, "There is a small white box in my ring, made of similar material to jade, help me take it out."

Although Zhu Zhuqing felt a little puzzled, he didn't say anything and did as he was told.

Xia Ling saw the box as if seeing a savior, hurriedly opened it, grabbed a dark round object, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhu Zhuqing looked into the box, and there were neatly stacked black round cakes in the box, a bit like squashed steamed buns, but with an intoxicating sweet smell.

"What is this? Medicine?"

"Well, this is sugar fire, similar to dry food, sweet, try it?" Xia Ling devoured the one in his hand, picked up one and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing, "I made it, it's always delicious."

The staple food of Douluo Dalu is mainly pasta. It is either "dry food" made of dead flour pancakes or steamed buns. There are no such things as fire and sesame cakes, so she naturally doesn't know them.

Sugar fire is a good thing. It has a good taste, high sugar and high carbon water. It is very useful for replenishing physical strength. It is much more delicious than the original "dry food" on the Douluo Continent.

Moreover, this kind of high-sugar or high-salt food can be stored for a long time under natural conditions, which is a must-have product for home travel.

In case of emergencies, after obtaining the inheritance of the spiritual chef and a large number of special containers for storing food, Xia Ling immediately exchanged brown sugar and sesame paste with the system, and made a lot of these things.

No, it's used now.

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, took a small bite after taking it.

After one bite, the joy of eating carbohydrates is mixed with the sweet and greasy brown sugar sesame sauce, and the layers of soft texture make people feel extremely happy.

"This is... dessert?" the little cat asked with its head tilted.

"Well, no." After eating seven or eight in a row, and then pouring a large bag of cold water down his stomach, Xia Ling felt that there was something in his empty stomach, and his whole body regained some vitality.

After taking a breath, he continued: "It's a staple food, similar to steamed buns and dry food, and it's made of noodles. How about it, isn't it delicious?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, "But isn't it sweet?"

In her impression, only expensive and delicate snacks and desserts can be made sweet.Although she has eaten a lot of sweet dishes with Xia Ling for several months, it is still difficult for her to associate this delicious "dessert" with the staple food.

Hearing this, Xia Ling was stunned, and couldn't help sighing helplessly. Since he came to Douluo Dalu, he has sighed too many times.

Productivity is seriously insufficient, science and technology is backward, and the form of civilization is deformed.

Soul master oligarchs occupy most of the world's resources, but they don't engage in production, and everything is supported by ordinary people.

The Tiandou Empire's imperial city circle alone has millions of soldiers guarding it all year round, and the total strength of the entire army is nearly 150 million at least.

This is 150 standing army soldiers!
And some militaristic Star Luo Empires are even worse.

It was unimaginable for a country to have such a large army in the ancient dynasty of the previous life.

Even if the territory is vast, powerful and prosperous like the Tang Dynasty, its standing army is only about 60; even in the Qing Dynasty, when the population expanded to more than 4 million under the blessing of sweet potatoes and potatoes, it was only worth more than a million troops. , and it was still in a wartime state on the verge of national subjugation in the late stage. (The source of the data is Zhihu, please let me know if you pay attention to the party)

In the previous life of Huaxia, modern science and technology were extremely developed, with a variety of ultra-high-yield food crops such as alkaline rice and hybrid rice, plus chemical fertilizers, large-scale agricultural machinery, and a population of 14 billion, the largest in the world.

With such superior conditions, there is only a standing army of about 300 million.

And how many people are there in the Heaven Dou Empire?But it can break through tens of millions of people! (According to the speculation in the original book, the total population of the two empires is at most 500 million. The population here is based on my second design. I can’t write it following the original book.)
What is this concept?One out of every seven people will be dragged into the army, one-seventh of the country's population!

Even if half of these soldiers are engaged in farming and military settlements, that would be a very terrifying thing.

Generally, this kind of military-civilian ratio will only appear when the country is close to extinction.But now, this is the normal configuration of the two empires.

Farmers engaged in production are scarce, and there are still people who want to engage in other industries. The nobles have to spend money to enjoy themselves, and the empire has to collect a lot of food taxes to maintain the army.

How can civilians living at the bottom of society eat well?How can food be eaten?

It can be said that this sick state structure can survive without collapse, which is simply a miracle among miracles.

Farmers don't even have enough staple food to fill their stomachs and maintain their lives. How can anyone grow sugar cane and sugar beets as cash crops?

Furthermore, although there are wild sugarcane and sugar beets in the Douluo Continent, how can farmers who are hungry or full have the heart to study crops other than food?Who dares to take this risk to try?Even if it is planted, who can it be sold to?

If it weren't for the unreasonable things like Wuhun in Douluo Continent, which can help increase food production to a certain extent, and food-type soul masters can provide part of the food, I am afraid that a great famine would have erupted long ago.

The aristocratic soul masters and soul masters who have always been high above don't care about how the bottom people live. All they need are stronger soul rings, more soul bones, and more golden soul coins, that's all.

Calculated one by one, sugar has become a very rare species in this era.Some of the sugar cane raised by the few big nobles have not undergone large-scale planting and improvement, so the sugar they can provide is extremely limited.

No, even Zhu Zhuqing, a member of the family who could almost be said to be born at the top of the pyramid, regards the ordinary sugar in Xia Ling's eyes as a delicacy.

As soon as this thought diverged, he couldn't hold it back. When he came back to his senses, Zhu Zhuqing had already secretly ate another sugar fire, and was just pretending to be nonchalant and waiting for his answer.

Whenever she is like this, she will be betrayed by her little red face, which is so cute.

Xia Ling couldn't help laughing, but she didn't break it.

"Although it is sweet, this sugar fire is still made of grain after all. Eat a few in the morning, and it will be strong until noon. Sugar and noodles are a perfect match. I will make sugar pancakes for you in a few days."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement, but he was thinking about other things.

such as
"Eat another one?" Xia Ling saw through her thoughts and pushed the whole box in front of her.

"Um"

Hey, little greedy cat.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing who was eating candied fire, Xia Ling couldn't help saying with emotion, "In the future, I will do my best so that the people all over the world can eat this delicious candied fire."

"Uh-huh."
