Breadfruit is a very peculiar fruit, although it looks similar to jackfruit but does not belong to a member of the fruit family, the fruit is very high in starch, not suitable for raw food, usually through roasting, decoction or grinding the fruit into flour to make other foods to eat, is a very potential food crop.
Zhang Shen was also very happy to be able to successfully refine a breadfruit. This means that the conclusion he reached from his previous analysis of the shallow law projection and the structure of the basic matter in this world is correct, and everything obtained can be used.
In high spirits, Zhang Shen peeled off the yellow skin of the breadfruit, took out the fruit, and baked it on the spot.
"The taste is somewhat similar to bread (eleven have eaten jackfruit, the exact taste of breadfruit is not clear at all, it is said to be similar to the previous dry bread), but it lives up to its name of breadfruit." Daris swallowed the breadfruit in his mouth, and although the taste was rough and slightly jerky, it was difficult to swallow, but the thought of the "cost" of this kind of thing and the fact that it could be used as a substitute for food made him unable to hide the joy in his heart, and his eyes narrowed with laughter.
"Good! Good! All right! Monte shouted three hellos, his face flushed with excitement, and his whole body trembled, "With food, the people are saved, and the country has hope!" ”
The other ministers were also thrilled when they tasted the breadfruit themselves. Food is the foundation of everything, and people will have the courage to forge ahead and fight if they have food that they will not starve to death. As Monte said, with plenty of food, there is hope for the country, if it can be called a nation!
"It's harder to digest than bread." An old man who looked like a general chewed the breadfruit in his mouth, and the wrinkles on his face were relaxed, "This is a good thing!" Growing up in poverty, he knew what this kind of food, which was difficult to digest, meant to the people, the soldiers, and the country. Indigestible, a vain sense of fullness can reduce three meals a day to two or even one, while at the same time ensuring a certain amount of labor capacity, magnifying this situation to the whole country, and the amount of food that can be saved is considerable.
"Your Excellency Zhang Shen, the old man still has a question." Monte forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and leaned in front of Zhang Shen, "May I ask you for this kind of ...... What is the ability to make breadfruit? How much can be made per day? Can...... Professor? ”
In Monte's view, the third issue is the key, because after all, Zhang Shen is only one person, and even if he dies of exhaustion, it is impossible to meet the food supply of a country. The only thing he was worried about was that his problem angered Zhang Shen, after all, it might involve personal taboos.
"Can't teach." Zhang Shen's answer made the air in the hall stagnate, and everyone's expressions stiffened and froze on the spot.
"However," Zhang Shen knew what Monte meant, and said with an indifferent smile, "The food supply for millions of people is just a small matter. ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became treacherous, and everyone, including Daris, opened their mouths wide and looked at him in a daze, their eyes about to fall out.
Even the blue phoenix couldn't help but show a surprised expression, thinking that he was bragging.
Zhang Shen looked around, proud in his heart, and decided to add another fire: "Moreover, not only food, but also clothing, steel, and ordnance, I can complete it by myself to ensure an absolutely sufficient supply!" ”
Zhang Shen is not bragging, everything is extremely real!
At its source, the difficulty of alchemy is never the size of the scale, but the level of the fine level of changes to the structure of matter (matter, molecular aggregates, atoms, neutrons, quarks, elementary particles, etc.) and even the laws of the world!
Refining one breadfruit and refining 10,000 breadfruits is just a test of Zhang Shen's spiritual strength!
Besides, Zhang Shen was able to refine millions of people in "Manbang" City into a huge philosopher's stone in one fell swoop in the real world, and his current actions are just pediatric compared to them! You must know that the world level involved in refining the Sage's Stone Formation Array is much higher than refining breadfruit, cotton and linen, and steel, and it is not a level at all.
Refining human beings into philosopher's stones has already involved the mysterious thing of the soul, on the other hand, the plant fruit of breadfruit, broken and crushed, is probably just a polymer of starch, wood fiber and some other substances (Eleven was a liberal arts student at the beginning, please don't come and slap your face if you are good at biology)

Someone's jaw was dislocated, and he let out a pitch-changing scream, breaking the silence in the hall.
"Hahaha......" Daris laughed out loud, laughing so hard that tears flowed from his eyes, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at the funny guy with a dislocated jaw, or if the food problem was solved, or if the emotions that had been pent up for years were vented.
Seeing that his majesty was smiling heartily, the ministers also laughed with him, and as for the bitter man with a dislocated chin, after the guards hurriedly got his chin right, he could only smile bitterly.
The laughter gradually subsided.
Daris retracted his facial expression, walked over and bowed deeply to Zhang Shen, and said solemnly: "On behalf of the millions of people in my country, I would like to thank His Excellency Zhang Shen for his assistance!" ”
"Thank you for your help!!" The ministers bowed and saluted, shouting in unison, and the sound filled the hall, lingering and circling for a long time.
It was the first time for Zhang Shen to experience this kind of battle, and he wanted to step forward to pick up Daris, but was stopped by the Blue Phoenix's heart transmission. "It's good for us to keep a detached posture, and getting too close will only make them lose their sense of awe."
…………
In the placement of Zhang Shen and others, Daris strongly invited them to live in the palace, and even said that he could give up his bedroom for them to live in. It is strange that no minister has come out to oppose this "absurd" opinion, which can also show the extent of the shortage of materials in this ruined country.
In this regard, Zhang Shen naturally expressed his refusal in righteous words.
After a few boring concessions, Daris sent several henchmen to lead the way to Zhang Shen and the others, and went to a small building not too far from the palace, the garrison of the Restoration Army, and the kingdom's strategic material reserve. By the way, the small building previously belonged to a certain official. The man died in the invasion of giants, and the small building is currently vacant.
On the newcomer's side, there are Yi Chao, Zihao and Li Sai watching, plus the first time they arrived in a different place, everyone was honestly tight.
After the convergence, a group of twenty-seven people, led by a few guards, arrived at their destination after ten minutes in a carriage that was not simple but definitely not luxurious.
It is a small Western-style building, with three floors and light blue walls, although it looks a little old, it gives people a warm feeling.
"Find an open space, draw it according to the diagram above, and prepare the things I have listed, and I'll go in the afternoon." When the guards left, Zhang Shen handed them a few pieces of paper, on which in addition to the basic patterns of the refining array, there were also the "raw materials" for refining rice, wheat, sweet potatoes and other grains, cotton and linen, weapons and ordnance, and other materials - most of them were fresh plants, clean water, waste copper and iron products that could not be reprocessed, and other things that could be found everywhere at very low cost.
The chief of the guard was the one who had witnessed the miracle in the main hall, and he took the pieces of paper with great reverence, and cautiously wrapped several layers and stuffed them into his armor for fear that something would go wrong.
"Your Excellency Zhang Shen, when do you have time in the afternoon, I will come and pick you up." Put away the "top secret documents", the chief of the guard confirmed.
"What time is it?" Zhang Shen didn't know how to keep time in this world and asked. "Do you have a small timekeeping device that you can take with you?"
After a while, playing with the timekeeping device in the shape of a pocket watch in his hand, Zhang Shenmu sent a few guards away and closed the gate of the courtyard.
"How should these newcomers be arranged?" Zhang Shen looked at the newcomers looking around, and asked Blue Phoenix with a spiritual voice. He could see that when he arrived at the "absolute" safe place, everyone's tense spirits began to relax, and at this time they all wanted to sleep well, and most of them could not listen to what arrangements were made at this time.
"Let them rest, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Blue Phoenix's eyes are so vicious, and it can be seen at a glance that the four people who are focused on by Zhang Shen among the newcomers are not simple, and other characters such as Jiang Zhaohui are not simple characters and are not easy to manage. It was good that they were in danger before, they would judge the situation and not cause you trouble, but now that they are safe, the careful thoughts in their hearts will naturally begin to turn.
"No matter what they want to do, the difference in strength is here, don't care too much."
"If they insist on causing you trouble, don't be polite to them!" There was a hint of fierceness and murder in the blue phoenix's tone. Thinking about it, although she has always shown a gentle side, she can live to this day, how can her cold side be missing.
Following the advice of Blue Phoenix, Zhang Shen announced his disbandment, and according to his observations along the way, the 21 newcomers were divided into several parts, such as five Dongguan women, young women, vegetable shopping aunts and old women, and a group of colorful hair gangsters. He didn't deliberately stuff discordant people together, but in the opposite way. In his opinion, he is not afraid that they will be antagonistic and hostile to each other, on the contrary, if this can give most of them the courage to fight, he will undoubtedly have a much better life in the future.
When the words "disband, go back to their rooms" came out of Zhang Shen's mouth in the next second, the newlyweds suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, "kicking and kicking" to their respective rooms, and then locked the door.
Zhang Shen, whose hearing had been strengthened to a very high level, then heard suppressed crying in many rooms, not only women, but also some men with weaker personalities were crying silently.
In this regard, Zhang Shen could only shrug helplessly and leave it behind for the time being.
"Come to my room." Zhang Shen stopped Li Shi, who wanted to go back to the room with Li Jing in his arms, and said in a deep voice, "There are some things, it's time to make it clear." ”
"You owe me an account."
