Cat Princess and Human Knight

In the morning, the first thing the orange cat paladin did after getting up was to recite a hymn to the Earth Mother Goddess. After he finished his morning prayers and stepped out of his room, he smelled a fragrance.

He tightened his nose and sniffed again, but couldn't recall what food it smelled like. He immediately felt his dignity had been challenged.

There are actually delicious foods in this world that even an orange cat doesn't know about? Unbelievable!

Following the aroma to the courtyard, I saw an iron pot set up in the yard, with something stewing inside.

Sitting on the stone bench were the dwarf cat princess, the Siamese cat scholar, the blue cat butler, and Yi Yin, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. The three cats and one person were around an iron pot, gnawing on something.

Yi Yin saw the orange cat paladin and raised his hand to greet it.

"Bell, you're awake! Come and try some corn on the cob, it's delicious."

The orange cat Paladin patted its head.

"Corn...cob?"

He peered into the iron pot, where golden corn kernels were simmering in clear water, plump and very tempting.

In the short time he was observing, Yi Yin had already taken a wooden spoon and scooped a corn cob out of the pot, placing it in the wooden bowl next to him.

"Give it a try."

The orange cat Paladin picked up the corn cob, blew on the hot air, and carefully took a bite. Then its eyes lit up, and it munched on the corn like a little hamster that had never seen the world before.

"So...delicious...so...hot..."

Yi Yin curled his lip and complained.

"Is it tasty or too hot?"

Cats are sensitive to heat on their tongues, but the orange cat Paladin didn't care about the heat at this moment.

The sweet corn exudes a rich aroma of grain, which is incredibly tempting for an orange cat living in a feudal era where food is scarce.

The orange cat paladin skillfully picked up the wooden spoon and placed three more corn cobs in his wooden bowl to cool. Then, holding the corn cob that Yi Yin had given him, he proudly showed it off.

How big can a cat's iron pot be? With that one scoop, most of the corn in the pot disappeared.

However, everyone knows the temperament of orange cats, so no cat would argue with him.

The Siamese cat scholar slowly ate its corn on the cob, marveling at the sight.

"This grain is quite interesting. The seeds float on the surface, are crisp and sweet, and the inner core can be ground into powder. It should be edible, right?"

Yi Yin shook his head.

"Grinding the inner core into powder is obviously for feeding livestock. Who would eat that stuff? It's not like we're Koreans."

"Blue Cat Butler asked in a silly tone."

"Excuse me, Lord Yiyin, what is a stick?"

Yi Yin touched his bald head.

"Anyway, it's nothing good. Just eat it and don't ask about things that aren't true."

The Siamese cat scholar said with a smile.

"I'd also like to ask, where did you obtain this novel food crop?"

Yi Yin gave a wry smile and sighed.

"Last night... Last night a friend came to visit me and brought me some gifts, that's all."

The Siamese cat scholar nodded.

"If it's convenient, could you give me one or two of these... um, a crop called corn? I'd like to look into it."

Yi Yin waved his hand and said.

"No problem, there are still ten tons in the cave warehouse, take as much as you want."

"Ten...ten tons???"

All the cats jumped up and looked at Yi Yin. Even the dwarf cat princess looked at Yi Yin in surprise, and could no longer continue to eat the corn in her hand elegantly.

Yi Yin shook his head with a wry smile.

After sending Princess Shorty Cat back to her residence last night, Yi Yin couldn't resist the urge to use the newly acquired cheat to redeem items in the cave warehouse of his temporary residence.

He knew nothing about futures. He opened the system interface and randomly exchanged one lot of corn, thinking that he could always finish the corn and wasn't afraid of wasting it. At the time, he thought that one lot of 2503 points was quite expensive.

Who knew... There were ten tons of them! A whole ten tons of corn are currently piled up in the cave warehouse, and Yi Yin doesn't know what to do with them.

Even the orange cat forgot to eat the corn. He looked at the corn in his hand and muttered to himself.

"Ten tons... Even if the entire Golden Flame Knights ate together, they wouldn't finish it in six months."

"You humans are so generous! You see a friend bringing a small gift, and you immediately give away ten tons of grain."

Yi Yin shook his head, not in the mood to refute.

A person needs about 2,000 calories a day. The calories from 100,000 tons of corn can sustain a person's calorie consumption for 50 years, or a hundred people's calorie consumption for half a year.

You could replace it with a cat. A cat's daily calorie requirement is about 10% to 15% of a human's. Ten tons of corn would be enough to feed seven or eight hundred cats for half a year, so it's no wonder the cats jumped up in surprise.

Viscount Huru's estate is not large, consisting of only a medium-sized manor, where about two hundred cats live.

In this feudal cat society with low grain yields and medieval agricultural practices, the ratio of grain cultivation to production was less than 1 to 5.

Even with favorable weather and no disasters, a single seed planted in the ground will yield at most five grains of rice.

Ten tons of corn is enough for all the cats in Huru's territory to lie down and eat for two whole years without doing any work. How could such a large quantity not terrify the cats?

Even the short-legged cat princess frowned.

"With so much food, what are you going to do with it, Yi-yin? It would be such a waste if it got moldy or gnawed by rats."

Yi Yin smiled bitterly and made up a story.

"How would I know what to do? I just casually mentioned it to a friend, and he sent over ten tons of corn. I didn't mean to."

Yi Yin felt the hem of his robe being tugged. He looked down and saw the orange cat paladin looking up at him expectantly, saying...

"Could you introduce me to a friend like that?"

Yi Yin said irritably.

"Wipe the drool off your mouth before you talk to me, don't get it on my robe!"

Yi Yin looked up at the short-legged cat princess and said helplessly.

"It's already like this, there's nothing I can do. You can have it all, consider it as my accommodation fee here."

After all, I also need to eat and stay in the hotel, which must be putting a lot of financial pressure on you, right?

Before the dwarf cat princess could speak, the blue cat butler's eyes had already lit up.

"Okay, okay."

"Princess Shorty Cat said coldly."

"Shut up, Green."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Call me Lady.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The blue cat butler was always respectful and loyal to the dwarf cat princess.

Princess Shorty Cat shook her head and said to Yi Yin.

"Ten tons of corn is too valuable. Let's discuss this again later. I'll take a few boiled ears of corn to the village later for Grandpa Milo to try."
