After securing everything, Yun Yi was eager to hit the road. After all, breakfast was still being prepared, and he himself didn’t mind. Although he had stayed up late working, his Durability had only slightly decreased. Compared to the total fullness he had at the time of leveling up, this was hardly anything. Even going several days without food or drink would have no effect on him.
However, Guan Yu was different. His martial arts were exceptional, and his skills with the broadsword were unparalleled; only Lu Bu could rival him. His robust physique meant that his energy expenditure was considerable. After a night of exertion, Guan Yu must be feeling hungry now.
"How about we eat something before we set off?" Yun Yi suggested.
"Alright," Guan Yu nodded in agreement.
Then, Yun Yi took an apple from his bag and handed it to Guan Yu. "Since we won’t be having fish for breakfast, let’s try this apple instead."
Guan Yu accepted the apple and examined it closely. The bright red skin was mouthwatering.
"This is an apple?" He was quite unfamiliar with this fruit.
In fact, apples originated from the Ili region of China and had been widely cultivated since the Shang Zhou period. However, the apples of that time were completely different from the one in Yun Yi's hand. What he held was a large, enticing modern apple. Back then, apples were referred to as Ringo and were only slightly larger than jujubes, with dull and unremarkable colors.
The taste was sour and astringent, far from the sweetness of the heavens.
Yun Yi then said, "Actually, this is a variety of Ringo."
Guan Yu suddenly realized that this was what they called Ringo! However, he was puzzled as to why the Ringo he had seen before differed so greatly from the apple in front of him. But he trusted Yun Yi and knew he wouldn't harm him.
Without hesitation, he took a big bite and instantly felt the exquisite flavor. Such a delicious fruit truly surprised him; could this really be Ringo? The taste far surpassed any Ringo he had ever tried before, it was like comparing heaven and earth.
Guan Yu fell silent, quickly finishing the entire apple, leaving even the core behind. After finishing, he gazed eagerly at the apple in Yun Yi's hand.
Yun Yi was taken aback: why such astonishment? Although the food in "My World" was exceptionally delicious in reality, he had experienced it firsthand and did not feel such a shock.
He soon realized that perhaps it was a result of his exposure to a variety of modern delicacies. Fruits like cherries, durians, mangosteens, and mangoes made ordinary apples hard to impress his palate.
For Guan Yu, however, it was different. In the late Eastern Han period, there were few types of fruits available, most of which had been improved over time. The best fruits he had tasted were merely peaches and Kuaizi. In that era of food scarcity, fruits were extremely precious; ordinary people rarely had the opportunity to try them. Coming from humble beginnings, Guan Yu had even fewer chances to savor fine dishes.
Thus, when he first tasted such a delicious apple from Yun Yi's hand, it was no surprise that he displayed immense excitement.
Every time Guan Yu finished an apple, Yun Yi would hand him another one until there were ten in total. It was only after the last apple entered his mouth that Guan Yu revealed a satisfied smile.
Yun Yi laughed and asked, "Are you full now? If you're still not satisfied, feel free to have a few more. As long as you stay with me, how could I let you go hungry?"
