Zachary had prepared two types of goods, one being the high-grade large strawberries produced by the Hundred Fruit Tree, and the other was a food additive kit.
Assessing the quality of strawberries was very convenient; by tasting them to see if they were delicious, one could determine their quality.
The evaluator randomly sampled a strawberry and indeed found its quality to be quite good, but the score given by just the strawberries did not suffice to secure a seat on the transport.
As for the food additive kits provided by Zachary, truth be told, most people would have looked down on them before the catastrophe, but in these times, when spices were scarce, these food additives had become very practical.
Just as people often say online, "Even shoe insoles, if breaded and fried, could make the kid next door cry with envy," the effect of food additives was even stronger than breadcrumbs!
