Chapter 369: Recent Situation in the East China Sea

After Su Ziheng and his party entered the fast food restaurant, a shopkeeper who knew him immediately walked up, and most of the shopkeepers in the fast-food restaurant were subordinates of Sufu, so they were naturally very familiar with their master.

The shopkeeper respectfully invited him to the box on the second floor, although Zhang Ji fast food restaurant is for the general public, it does not mean that there are no boxes and small fried.

In order to improve the grade of the fast food restaurant, Zhang Wanqing and Zhang Wanru still opened a private room service on the second floor of the store according to Su Ziheng's proposal, and a special chef is responsible for cooking for the customers in the private room.

The dishes in the box are not limited to sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, but also vegetables grown in Tuntian Farm, and Zhang Kee fast food restaurants have chosen to supply them in a limited way.

However, Su Ziheng invited everyone to eat today, mainly for sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, and naturally most of the dishes were made of these three.

As for other vegetables, they can be eaten every day in the canteen of the government, and they are not too rare.

After ordering, it didn't take long for the shopkeeper to serve the dishes one after another, and also served a jar of good champion red.

Su Zihengping withdrew from the shop, personally poured a glass of wine for everyone, and raised his glass and said: "Come, everyone drink this cup, everyone has worked hard for most of the year." ”

Zhong Qinghan was the first to stand up and echoed: "Su Changshi's words are good, if it weren't for everyone's efforts, the current situation of Donghai Mansion would definitely not be as good as it is now, all of this is everyone's credit, cheers!" ”

After speaking, Zhong Qinghan raised his head and took the lead in doing it.

The other officials who came to the banquet together saw Her Royal Highness the Princess and Lord Changshi take the lead in toasting a glass of wine, where did they still sit? They all got up and said, "Cheers!" ”

At this time, without waiting for Su Ziheng to do it himself, Dong Yuanyu, who was standing beside him, hurriedly took over the wine jar and filled everyone present with another glass.

This time, Su Ziheng did not continue to raise his glass, but lifted the chopsticks, beckoned everyone to smile and said, "Come, how about everyone taste the taste of this dish?" ”

Everyone took a few chopsticks in front of them and put them in their mouths to taste them carefully, with a look of surprise on their faces, and nodded one after another: "Sure enough, it tastes good, Lord Changshi, aren't these the new grains you wrote about in the East China Sea Weekly?" I didn't expect it to be so delicious when made into a dish. ”

Zhong Qinghan nodded and said, "Ziheng, why haven't I seen these dishes in the canteen of the mansion?" Didn't you say that this one is highly produced? There should be no shortage of that. ”

Su Ziheng explained with a smile: "Who said no, you didn't notice, right?" I remember eating it a few times. It's just that there are so many dishes that you shouldn't have noticed. In the Zhang Kee fast food restaurant, because most of the dishes are made with these few things, you will be more impressed. ”

Zhao Chengming stretched out his chopsticks, put a sour and spicy shredded potato into his mouth, chewed it carefully for a while, and showed a thoughtful look on his face: "Lord Changshi said this, Xia Guan Zhi had a little impression, and it seemed that he had really tasted this potato a few times." It's just that at that time, it was not cut into shreds, but cut into potato pieces and stewed with chicken pieces, and the taste was slightly different, so it's no wonder that I didn't eat it for a while. ”

Su Ziheng laughed and said, "Lord Zhao, the recipe of this potato is ever-changing, and the taste is also different, you will know when you taste some more." ”

Zhong Chengda frowned when he heard this: "Lord Changshi, since these potatoes and corn sweet potatoes have a delicious and high yield, then do we have to control their seeds to prevent them from spreading to other places and causing us huge losses." ”

Zhong Qinghan was also shocked when he heard this, obviously also thought of this question, and hurriedly asked: "Master Zhong's words are reasonable, we can enjoy such a good thing in Donghai Mansion by ourselves, and we must not be exiled to other places, even if we want to sell it, we can't sell seeds." ”

Su Ziheng picked up a glass of wine, took a sip on the side of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already controlled the seeds, and only when they need to be planted, they will be distributed to Tuntian Farm." As for these fruits, those with bad intentions don't plant them, but once they are really planted, they will have no harvest and no return. ”

Zhong Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so good." ”

Sure that even if these fruits were lost, they would not cause losses to the Donghai Mansion, and everyone was much more relaxed, chatting while drinking, and the atmosphere at the wine table was very warm.

Su Ziheng raised his glass to Zhao Chengming and said, "Lord Zhao, I have been busy with other things recently, and I haven't noticed the progress of the construction there there, I don't know how it has been progressing recently?" ”

Zhao Chengming drank all the wine in the cup and replied: "Although Lord Changshi can rest assured, there are enough people on the construction site at present, everything is in order and developing rapidly. ”

"At present, the most important projects are the construction of city walls, roads and wharves, the pass located in the west of the city has laid the foundation, is being built in an intense and orderly manner, and it is expected that the East China Sea Xiongguan will be officially built in a year, and the pass will become the largest barrier in the East China Sea Province when the pass is as high as ten zhang."

"Xia Guan believes that according to the design drawings of the pass city wall provided by Lord Changshi, only a few thousand people will be needed to defend the pass at that time, and no matter how many enemies there are, they will not be able to break through from the frontal battlefield."

"As for the roads, gravel roads are now being paved in many parts of the city, and concrete roads have been built on important sections, and tracks have been laid in the quarries and mines to facilitate the rapid transport of the quarries and minerals by steam trains."

Su Ziheng tapped the wine glass with chopsticks, and said with great joy: "Great, Donghai Mansion is protected by natural dangers on three sides, and only one horse is Pingchuan in the west, if it can block the enemy army in the west, the entire Donghai Mansion can be said to be safe and sound." ”

"What's more, after the construction of the pass and wharf, all the items entering and leaving the Tokai Province are within the scope of external inspection, so there is no need to worry about smuggling and causing us huge economic losses. With the continuous development of our Tohae Province's economy, smuggling is absolutely unavoidable. ”

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Zhong Xinde and asked, "Steward Zhong, how is the research on the joint development of new weapons and artillery that I proposed to the Workshop Gunpowder Workshop and the Weapons Workshop last time?" ”

Zhong Xinde hurriedly got up and replied, "Lord Changshi, according to the information you provided, at present, the Nine Masters of Ou Crow have tried to cast an iron cannon, but the effect is not very ideal, and it is still being debugged. But the imitation of the dozens of breech-loading flintlock pistols you gave has made great progress. ”

"At present, a large number of breech-loading flintlock pistols are being imitated, and the original flintlock pistol is being phased out, and I believe that it will be popularized on a large scale in a while."
