Chapter 390 Arrangement
Later, under Zhang Qingfeng's arrangement, everyone went to the Imperial Manor to rest.

Of course, before that, a special banquet is the top priority.

Under Zhang Qingfeng's arrangement, countless treasured delicacies made of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn filled the square table in front of everyone.

Especially in front of Emperor Wanli, the treasured delicacies are even more abundant.

Potato-based foods include baked potatoes with firewood ash, boiled potatoes, green pepper potato shreds, hot and sour potato shreds, potato slices twice-cooked pork, potato stewed ribs, potato starch vermicelli, deep-fried French fries, and so on.

There are slightly fewer sweet potatoes, but there are also roasted sweet potatoes, boiled sweet potatoes, sweet potato vermicelli, sweet potato candies, sweet potato cakes and more.

For corn, there are grilled corn, steamed corn, fried corn kernels with green peppers, stewed pork ribs with corn, stewed chicken with corn, and so on.

Of course, when the emperor dines, someone needs to test the poison. In order to show his loyalty, Zhang Qingfeng personally tested the poison for Emperor Wanli.

Of course, other nobles would naturally have others try the poison.

After the safety inspection, everyone began to try the food that Zhang Qingfeng prepared for everyone.

"This is pretty good, very fragrant."

"It's baked potatoes."

"This is also delicious."

"This is hot and sour potato shreds."

"Well, this is good, very delicious."

"This is sweet potato candy."

It took more than an hour for a meal before everyone tasted dozens of dishes prepared by Zhang Qingfeng in turn.

"These dishes are very good, Zhou Aiqing, arrange a few cooks who can cook these dishes, I will eat these dishes for a while." After drinking and eating, Wan Li said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"Yes, I will arrange it later." Zhang Qingfeng nodded quickly.

"Uncle Zhendong, these foods are very good. Thank you for your arrangement." Someone thanked Zhang Qingfeng and said.

At this time, Zhang Qingfeng's title was Zhen Dongbo.

"Zhen Dongbo, can you sell me some of these crops, and let your cook teach the cooks in my house by the way?" the nobleman said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"Of course there is no problem. As long as you want to learn how to make these dishes, you can send a cook here to learn." Zhang Qingfeng readily agreed.

"Zhen Dongbo, I wonder if you can sell the seeds of these crops? I want to plant these crops on my land next year." Someone asked Zhang Qingfeng.

"Of course there is no problem with this. I have cultivated hundreds of acres of crop seeds here, which can completely supply tens of thousands of acres of seeds for planting." Zhang Qingfeng also agreed to those who wanted to buy seeds.

"If you want to grow these crops, you not only need to buy seeds, but you also need to send people to learn how to grow these crops. Well, next month I will have someone teach an agricultural class at the Polytechnic University on how to grow these crops. .”

Zhang Qingfeng said to everyone: "In addition to planting, storage and processing after receiving the goods, etc., all need to be learned. Otherwise, if you harvest these crops back, if they are not well preserved, they will easily be damaged. If you want to Anyone who grows these crops can send people here to study."

"that would be great."

Hearing what Zhang Qingfeng said, many people were very happy.

Today, the food they eat is delicious, and many people already see a market for growing these crops.

"Zhou Aiqing, when will these crops be popularized among the people on a large scale?" Emperor Wanli asked Zhang Qingfeng.

"Long live, this year is not enough, there are not enough seeds, but after another year of cultivating these crops next year, they can be popularized to the people on a large scale, and there will be enough seeds by then." Zhang Qingfeng said to Emperor Wanli.

"Very good, you have made another great contribution to the court." Emperor Wanli said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"These are what I should do." Zhang Qingfeng said modestly.

After that, everyone stayed in Huangzhuang, and everyone will go back tomorrow.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn are not the only three crops grown in this imperial manor.

Others such as peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, groundnuts, sunflowers, pumpkins and so on.

The emperor, court civil and military officials, and dignitaries rested in Huangzhuang, so Zhang Qingfeng naturally didn't say anything about hospitality.

These crops brought by the Europeans from the Americas were made into many delicious dishes and delicious food by Zhang Qingfeng.

For these foods, most people like to eat, only a small number of people reject a few foods.

Overall, everyone was very satisfied with this trip to Huangzhuang.

Zhang Qingfeng took this opportunity to thoroughly demonstrate the crops introduced by the Europeans to the top class of Ming Dynasty.

In this way, he will reduce many constraints when he promotes these crops in the future.

In the afternoon of the second day, everyone went back satisfied.

Before leaving, Zhang Qingfeng gave a souvenir to everyone who came to Huangzhuang this time, which can be regarded as continuing to promote these crops.

In the next few days, as expected, many imperial court civil and military officials and dignitaries sent cooks to learn how to make these foods.

For these, Zhang Qingfeng arranged for his subordinates to handle them.

In order to allow Zhang Qingfeng to better cultivate the seeds of these crops, Emperor Wanli allocated all the Huangzhuang in Shuntian Prefecture to Zhang Qingfeng's subordinates for management.

After Zhang Qingfeng cultivated more and better crop seeds, he began to promote these crops to some disaster-stricken areas in the north.

"Teacher, where are we going?"

In a carriage, six-year-old Zhu Youjian asked Zhang Qingfeng curiously.

"Your Highness Changsun, I will take you to see some interesting things today." Zhang Qingfeng said to Zhu Youxiao.

Today, after Zhang Qingfeng sought the opinion of the crown prince Zhu Changluo, he personally took Zhu Youxiao out of the palace.

For the safety of the emperor's grandson Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Qingfeng also arranged hundreds of musketeers for personal protection.

The place where Zhang Qingfeng took Zhu Youxiao was naturally the physics laboratory and the chemistry laboratory.

Zhang Qingfeng was going to take the time to teach Zhu Youxiao some scientific knowledge.

Compared with the boring knowledge in books, it is undoubtedly more interesting to do experiments in the laboratory.

At this time, several laboratories of Zhang Qingfeng are no longer the laboratories of a few years ago.

In the current laboratory, there are hundreds of scientists who study various scientific fields.

These are excellent students who have graduated from polytechnics.

After the carriage arrived at its destination, Zhang Qingfeng took Zhu Youxiao to a chemical laboratory.

This laboratory is built with cement bricks and tiles, painted with white putty, equipped with large transparent glass windows, beautiful tiles, and countless strange tools in the laboratory, making the entire laboratory full of a sense of technology.

"Wang Feng, come here." Zhang Qingfeng greeted a 12-year-old child in the laboratory.

This Wang Feng is exactly the young genius who graduated early from the Polytechnic University two years ago, but Liu Dezhi, the head of the Polytechnic University, was unable to arrange it because of his young age.

Later Zhang Qingfeng arranged Wang Feng in the laboratory.

The medical alcohol was made by him and another brother.

Now, medical alcohol has become a miracle medicine for trauma, earning Zhang Qingfeng hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year.

"Teacher, you call me." Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Wang Feng hurried over.

"This is His Highness the Emperor's Grandson, take His Royal Highness to familiarize himself with the laboratory, and do a few simple experiments to show His Highness." Zhang Qingfeng said to Wang Feng.

"Okay." Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Wang Feng quickly agreed.
