Chapter 884 Simple Food

Food is the most important thing for the people, so we must have enough food to attract refugees.Providing food for a long-distance trip with a population of 20 is even more of a heavy burden—even if sailing from Shanghai or Zhapu, the sea route to Lingao is as long as 900 nautical miles.Sailing takes 10 days.

Even for a healthy person, it is not an easy task to complete this sea journey on a crowded and bumpy sailboat, let alone a group of hungry and chronically malnourished refugees.If they are not supplied with rations with certain nutrients and sufficient calories, it will be difficult for them to live to see the end of the journey.

According to their experience in hosting refugees for several years, serving porridge with vegetables is a kind of food that is more beneficial to the weak stomach of refugees.After their stomachs gradually adapt, adding protein food to the gruel: mainly seafood can enhance their physical fitness.

In the quarantine camp, it is easy to simply use brown rice and sweet potatoes to make porridge or other food, but ordinary food does not meet the management and nutritional requirements of Lingao, and it is quite inconvenient to transport and use.Cooking gruel for hundreds of people in the tiny galley was difficult.Simple and easy food must be available.

Hong Huangnan's supply plan is based on the "pillar operation" that landed in Sanya in the past - supplying enough grass fast food rations to each ship.This series of instant rations has developed very maturely: there are already three series and twelve varieties.If you count different flavors and ingredients, there are even more subspecies.This series not only fully meets the standards in terms of nutrition and calories, but also has a great improvement in taste.

But this plan was rejected by Wu De: it would be too expensive to distribute grass rations in large quantities.Moreover, the stock of grass rations is also insufficient, including the part stored in the army warehouse.Only 1.5 campaign stocks left.It is also unreasonable in terms of nutritional structure.Grass rations are high-calorie rations, which are used to supplement a large amount of physical energy consumed in intense combat marches, so the ingredients contain more protein and fat.

Rich protein and fat are unbearable for the weak stomachs of refugees. Not only that, the human body needs to consume a lot of fresh water to digest and metabolize protein, which can easily cause thirst. Increased water supply pressure.

Wu De then handed over the matter to the agricultural port and the food factory.Let them develop a relief ration specifically for the relief of displaced refugees.

The biggest difference between relief rations and grassland series rations is cost-compared with the grassland series with a wide variety and complete content, relief rations are more considered to be produced in large quantities at low cost under the condition of ensuring energy and basic nutrition.

This matter fell on Xun Suji's head - as the director of the food factory, this matter is of course his duty.Xun Suji got married and started a family, and his wife took good care of him when he returned home. More importantly, there was no "family fight" between Yoo Mi-ran and Kim Hee-sun.The family relationship is relatively harmonious, and everything is prosperous at home. Factory director Xun not only enjoys the blessings of everyone, but is also full of enthusiasm at work.

After receiving the task, he immediately gathered with the people who had originally developed grass rations to discuss how to make relief rations.

The relief ration meeting was held at the Lotus Root Pavilion in Nanhai Farm.Unlike coffee shops, this is a specially created "rural scenery".Compared with the past, the surrounding environment of the Lotus Root Pavilion has been deliberately renovated. Beside the pond full of lotus leaves, the original bamboo and straw pavilion has been rebuilt into three waterside buildings with wooden terraces. Fruit trees and willows are planted everywhere.The bamboo fence is covered with green pumpkin vines.

Being in the middle, it is very similar to some very crafted "farmhouse" resorts in the old time and space.

In addition to the developers and "enthusiasts" of Agricultural Port, Bai Duolu also came to join the meeting.His enthusiasm for the relief rations is entirely due to the need to preach in the Li district.The agricultural production in Li District is more backward than that in Han District, especially in Shengli District, which is completely slash-and-burn, and insufficient food rations in villages is a common phenomenon.Churches often use the distribution of relief food as a means of missionary work.Therefore, Lingao Seminary urgently needs a cheap relief ration.

The people who developed grass rations at the beginning were basically a group of "military ration control". Among the veterans, there were many people who sat at home in pajamas and ate military instant rations bought at high prices. What about MRE, British 24-hour rations, French single Heating rations for soldiers and self-heating food for 06 individual soldiers are all rare.

Now that we want to develop a relief ration, it is tantamount to scratching the G-spot of everyone. Many people came to the lotus root pavilion, some of whom were not on the list of participants, and they all came here during their busy schedule.

According to the refugee supply standard established by Chen Sigen: the food supply standard for a refugee when "transporting by means of transportation" is 1790 kcal per day.Roughly equivalent to the supply standard in the German prisoner-of-war camps during World War II, it can guarantee that you will not starve to death.Of course, refugees neither practice nor do any work while being transported, and children, pregnant women, and sick people are provided for separately.

Wu Nanhai suggested: sweet potato flour should be used first in rations—not sweet potato starch. Sweet potato starch is pure starch, and sweet potato flour is directly ground into powder after drying sweet potato slices.Contains a lot of fiber from sweet potatoes.

Lingao has a large reserve of dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato powder. Tiandi will promote the cultivation of improved sweet potatoes on a large scale in Lingao. Both state-owned farms and ordinary farmers have produced a large number of sweet potatoes.It can be said that the supply of raw materials is very sufficient.It has become an important raw material for Lingao food industry.

Outside of sweet potato flour is a small amount of protein.Wu Nanhai suggested adding a small amount of bean flour or bean dregs.Legumes are widely grown as nitrogen-fixing crops in Lingao's new crop rotation system.In addition to the tight supply of soybeans for oil extraction and tofu, there are still considerable reserves of broad beans, peas, black beans, chickpeas, etc. in the grain depot.

"...Add sugar and salt, mix with some dried vegetables, if you feel that the bean dregs are not enough, then mix with fish meal, and then dry it into lumps." Wu Nanhai said.

Ye Yuming said: "Why make bricks? It's a waste of labor. I don't think it's necessary. In terms of purely low cost, dried sweet potatoes can be used—we have a large reserve of these things, and they are not easy to break. 500 sacks, and distribute some to the refugees for each meal. [-] grams of dried sweet potatoes are guaranteed a day to ensure that they will not die of starvation. But some soup must be rationed: refugees cannot eat salt.”

He proposed: to make condiments that are concentrated and dehydrated into bricks: three-in-one concentrated soup cubes with miso, seaweed, and dried vegetables.

Miso soup, a common dish in both Japan and Korea, is made from the cubes and is nutritious, though not very tasty.

"If you want, you can add some dehydrated vegetables or dried fish to supplement the nutrition in the miso soup. Sweet potatoes have a lot of fiber content, so there is no need to add cellulose and other things."

Hong Huangnan continued to advocate his potato flour plan.He has a soft spot for potatoes and has always advocated that the army and laborers should eat more potatoes.

"It's still the solution I mentioned before: dehydrated potato powder, animal fat, and spices are mixed. When eating, add water and mix it to make mashed potatoes. Potatoes are rich in nutrients and can completely replace rice. People consume half a kilogram of rice every day. Eating one day’s worth of mashed potatoes a week saves 5000 kilograms of rice every week and 2500 kilograms of rice every month. This figure is very impressive. Of course, refugees can eat more. I think protein There is no need to supply sea refugees, water is needed to digest protein, it is better to add oil."

"I still want fat." Dongmen Chuiyu, representative of the General Staff, said, "Even the elders can't eat enough fat, so give it back to the refugees? Besides, we have never grown potatoes on a large scale."

"Potatoes have a short planting period and high yields. They can be used as both a vegetable and a staple food. The extra potatoes can be dehydrated and made into potato flour, which can be stored for a long time! I never understand why the agricultural sector doesn't like to promote potatoes?"

"Lingao is not suitable for growing potatoes, so let's spread them in the north." Wu Nanhai said.Potatoes are planted in the experimental field of Nanhai Farm - it is purely to maintain the provenance, and there is no intention to promote it.As far as a small amount of planting is concerned, the yield is not as high as that in the north, and it has no advantage compared with the planted sweet potatoes.

The yield of potatoes is high, but potatoes have a lot of water.The actual rate of grain gain is greatly discounted.According to the standards of old time and space, five catties of potatoes are worth one catty of rice.

After discussion, the final relief ration plan was named the "Simple Meal" series.Simple Meal No. 1 is sweet potato flour "cookies."In the ration of two cake bricks in the same half-jin standard brick, there are two kinds of flavors mixed and matched.At the same time, the "No. 1 instant soup cube" was finalized and put into production, which is the "soup soup" that Ye Yuming boasted.To make miso, you need to use beans or rice wheat, and the raw materials are limited so only a small amount can be produced.One Instant Soup Cube No. 1 can make miso soup for ten people.

The simple food series was later developed into a comprehensive supply ration like the grass series.However, it has fewer types.It is simply classified according to usage.In terms of use, it is divided into "in situ relief", "camp relief", "vehicle and ship transportation relief" and "walking relief".Each variety is divided into winter type and ordinary type.Each ration varies in calories and nutrient content.

However, the content of the relief rations manufactured in each batch is quite different.According to the different seasons of dry food production, the continuous expansion of the territory controlled by the Senate, and the improvement of agricultural production levels, the content of rations is also constantly changing.There is a luxurious type with brown rice flour and whole wheat flour mixed with minced meat, and there is also a simple type that just adds some sweet potato leaves and fish meal to sweet potato flour during stressful times.In general, there is no significant difference in the weight, size, energy and nutritional content of each batch of relief rations.
