"Meet Your Majesty!"
"Hope for the saint!"
The crews of the eight large ships were concentrated on one ship.
The deck was packed.
Zhang Qi draped in a big coat from the pedal to the berthed boat.
Everyone on the big ship half-knelt in front of him and saluted, looking excited.
It was the first time they had seen their king so closely.
For the people of Liaodi, Zhang Qi is a well-deserved leader, a god-like existence.
From the barren land to today's prosperity, the changes in Liao have all changed little by little from the hands of their kings.
Even themselves.
It has also changed from a life of lack of food and clothing to a worry-free and stable life.
All this was brought to them by this tall man in front of them.
So their greeting is not just a simple phrase, but a real heart.
"Hahaha, okay, I have such pillars in Liaodi who can cross thousands of miles, and everything will be prosperous and stable."
"Get up, you don't need to kneel in the future, I haven't had a kneeling ceremony in Liaodi for a long time."
"Since they have all returned to the port, there is no need to stay on the ship all the time, although the seaside is not as windy and snowy as Liaodi, but after all, it is colder, get off the ship, get off the ship, the governor of this port has already prepared good wine and food for everyone, go, I will personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for everyone!"
"No!"
On the big ship, I met with the crew members who had come all the way back from Australia.
Zhang Qi led them to the big canteen at the port.
Although Zhang Qi has never experienced the ocean life at sea, he also knows that it is not easy.
After all, eating and drinking will not be as convenient as on land.
Although Liaodi ocean-going technology has prepared vitamins, foods and medicines to prevent the occurrence of sepsis.
But the long-term diet still made their faces a little worse.
Voyages are not like coastal voyages, and there are not many types of vegetables and fruits that can be preserved for a long time because of the geographical environment of Liaodi.
Dried radish, pickled sauerkraut, lime, spontaneous sprouts, and apple potatoes.
It's actually okay to eat these things on the ground for a long time, because there is always a chance to change the taste.
But at sea, you need to eat as long as you sail, and there are too few flavors that can be changed.
So as soon as the banquet begins, the first dish on the table is not wine and meat, but a large pot of fresh and delicious cabbage vermicelli.
At this moment, all the sailors who had returned from the voyage during the banquet could not move their eyes.
Zhang Qi sat at the top.
He laughed twice.
"Everyone!"
"No need to be polite! Drink to your heart's content! ”
"Oh——!"
There was a cheer, and everyone moved their chopsticks during the banquet.
The big canteen called almost all the staff of the canteen in the port, and they took turns to fight.
Cabbage vermicelli, sour and spicy shredded potatoes, pumpkin soup, white radish stew
One dish after another was served to the crew's table.
I was so tired that the food delivery staff changed batch after batch.
And almost every dish is based on vegetables and fruits, supplemented by meat.
The chefs who work in these ports also know it.
When people come back from the sea, what they want to eat most is definitely not big fish and meat, but those fresh green vegetables!
Back kitchen.
Dozens of stoves fired in unison.
A large number of cooks take turns to copy or stew.
While they were busy, they were still sighing.
"Since I have a greenhouse, I have enough green vegetables in the past two winters, which is too comfortable."
"It's like before, when we were also floating on the sea, we ate sauerkraut pickled in the summer."
"yes, if it weren't for the fact that this glass is too expensive, I'd like to buy some myself and go back and install one."
A cook with shredded radish in a pot said.
Dozens of stoves in the back kitchen started at the same time, and the people who could hear clearly were just a few people around them.
"Wait, I see that glass has appeared in many places over the years, maybe it won't be long before we can buy it."
"Yes."
Indeed, Liaodi can also produce green vegetables one after another in winter, and the biggest role in this is the warm house in the mouths of these cooks.
That is, the vegetable greenhouse of later generations.
It's just that the light and cheap materials like those of later generations can't be made in Liaodi today, so Zhang Qi and they can only choose glass.
It is very troublesome to make a greenhouse with its practical glass, the whole glass can not be too big, and it has to be assembled with a small square piece by piece, and the whole glass that is too large is easy to be frozen and cracked in winter.
Although now Liaodi uses defective products that fail to smelt transparent glass.
But even these defective products are highly sought after noble luxuries in Han China.
If the Han magnates knew that there were greenhouses made of a lot of glass in Liaodi, they would all go crazy.
Today's Liaodi Glass Factory is responsible for telescope lenses that are in high demand by the military.
However, the smelting of transparent glass is too difficult, even with the increasingly sophisticated smelting technology, it is easy to obtain a glass solution, but the pure transparent transparent glass without variegation still makes it difficult for a group of skilled workers in the glass factory.
You can only get some from a large piece of ground glass by cutting and polishing.
And the rest is defective.
Originally, these defective products would also be re-smelted in the furnace at the beginning, but with the development of shipping and the increasing number of marine workers, the fruit output in the orchards of Liaodi alone could no longer meet the anti-sepsis needs of all crew members.
And the orchard depends on the season to provide the output.
So simply, these ground glass are not returned to the furnace, and are directly sliced and shipped out of the factory to build winter vegetable greenhouses.
Although the transparency ratio of ground glass does not meet the requirements of telescope polished glass.
But it is enough for the construction of vegetable greenhouses.
As long as there is no snow and some sunshine, the temperature in the greenhouse can go up to above zero.
Over time, these vegetable greenhouses have been called greenhouses.
Relying on the lock temperature of the greenhouse, the iron pipe of the boiler room is flowing.
The output of winter vegetables in Liaoning began to increase steadily.
Although it is too fantastical to satisfy the entire Liaodi, the vitamin supplement used to meet the needs of the people at sea is sufficient.
Therefore, most of the greenhouses in Liaodi are built in the seaside of Liaodong, one is that the ultraviolet rays on the seaside are stronger, and the other is because the vegetables produced by these warmers are also life-saving medicine for seafarers.
Dinner.
The menu is endless.
It was not until the end of the feast that the meat mainly became more and more abundant.
Because the Maritime Affairs Division has regulations on drinking alcohol at sea, most of these crew members are shallow and dare not let go of drinking.
Looking at the time, Zhang Qi also felt that this banquet should also end.
So the cup arrived.
"Everyone here is a pillar of the material, this voyage back as a big white, this glass of wine, I respectfully wait!"
"Drink it together!"
"Thanks! Your Majesty! ”
