101. Food Has a Price [BONUS]

Carlos checked the Garrison Gatehouse Blueprint again after the cucumber bed was finished.

The blueprint was still useful. The Iron Fang Gate Fittings sitting in his inventory proved that. But after the Training Yard, the Shield Militia Barrack and the new cucumber frames, his remaining wood and stone did not look good anymore.

They were preparing the evening meal while two covered pots sat near the wall. The smell made Carlos's stomach hurt a little because he had only eaten one wrapped meal since morning.

"Please, I don't eat between meals that much."

"You did it three times."
