In fact, these things that the troops eat now are almost unknown to everyone in later generations. Even the Chinese people in later generations have very few of them that they have never eaten. Many people even eat too much.
This name is off-putting. These things are none other than the famous instant noodles, luncheon meat, ham sausages and compressed biscuits in later generations.
In order to solve the problem of collecting and storing food when the troops are on long-distance attacks. In order to solve the problem of supplying food in the vast and sparsely populated areas of Northern Manchuria, especially the problem of caloric supplementation for troops in the severe cold in winter, so that the troops can have hot meals on the battlefield, Yang Zhen competed
He used his brains to come up with some field instant foods, which were even called junk food in later generations.
Although most of these fast foods have little nutrition, if eaten for a long time, they can easily cause heartburn and other bad feelings in soldiers. Fortunately, these foods can allow soldiers to eat hot meals, especially in Beiman, which is more than 30 below zero.
Under the severe cold, eating some hot food can effectively maintain the combat effectiveness of soldiers.
The kind of noodle that makes Harbin residents most curious is the instant noodles that turn into noodles after being put into boiling water and left alone. This is the instant noodles that became famous and even somewhat infamous in later generations, causing many people to vomit after eating them. It is just the original amount of white noodles in the base area.
The current situation of not much flour has changed from the fine white flour of later generations to the hybrid flour based on corn flour.
Although after the formation of the Production and Construction Corps, all low-yielding sorghum and millet have been eliminated, except for a small amount reserved as feed. All cultivated land has been replaced by higher-yielding corn, wheat, and some rice. But these grains have to wait.
It will be available on the market at least until autumn.
Yang Zhen, who did not have enough fine flour in his hands, could only combine a small amount of white flour with a huge amount of corn flour, or even sorghum flour and acorn flour to make hybrid instant noodles. The cooking oil used to fry these instant noodles was not from later generations.
High-quality palm oil, but ordinary soybean oil produced in Northeast China.
There is no palm oil at all in the Northeast, not even a single palm tree. It is produced in the subtropics and tropics, and is not available in the Northeast. However, the production of soybean oil is quite huge because it is the world's major soybean producing area. In
In the absence of palm oil, Yang Zhen could only use local materials and use soybean oil to fry it.
As for the seasoning bags, they were not as colorful as later generations. They only contained a small amount of refined salt, monosodium glutamate, dried onions, chili powder and vitamin powder imported from the Soviet Union. However, in order to adjust the taste of the soldiers, Yang Zhen tried every means to add some ingredients to the seasoning bags.
Added some concentrated chicken broth. After all, there are still a large number of poultry with a short growth cycle such as chickens in the area.
The raw materials have changed from high-quality flour to hybrid noodles based on cornmeal. In addition, the flavor of the seasoning packets is too single, as well as the difference in the type of oil used in the processing process. The taste of these instant noodles is far inferior to that of later generations, and due to the use
It looks a lot greasier without the soybean oil.
Of course, if the instant noodles produced by the instant noodle manufacturers in later generations are as advertised, using high-quality palm oil when fried, and those seasoning packets contain the beef and concentrated chicken essence they advertise. The instant noodles developed by Yang Zhen, whether
The taste and nutrition were extremely poor. However, Haolai ensured that during roundabout operations and winter operations, the troops could eat hot meals in the shortest possible time to ensure their body heat.
As for the reason why acorn noodles are added to it, it is to supplement the troops with some vitamins, minerals and some trace elements. Although acorn noodles are rough and difficult to swallow, they are not without any nutrients. A small amount of mixed ingredients not only
It will not affect the taste and will also supplement some trace elements.
People who have not lived in the Northeast, especially in northern Manchuria, in the severe cold of more than 30 degrees below zero, will not understand the feeling of being able to at least keep their bodies warm for a while after eating hot food. Nor will they understand this kind of cold.
The importance of hot food requirements in combat environments.
Although the taste of these instant noodles cannot be compared with that of later generations, and the nutrition is pitiful, they can provide hot food to the troops in the shortest time. Especially when there is no firepower advantage, the soldiers can be served as quickly as possible.
Let’s have hot rice. After all, it takes much less time to boil a pot of water than to cook a pot of rice.
And this thing, just like its name, is really convenient to eat. Put it in a military lunch box, pour a ladle of boiling water on it, simmer for three to two minutes and you can eat it. But the instant noodles developed by Yang Zhen are comparable in weight.
The smaller and smaller instant noodles of later generations are more than enough. After all, soldiers who march and fight all day consume much more physical energy than white-collar workers who sit in offices.
However, although plastics have been mass-produced now, if Yang Zhen spends precious funds to import plastic packaging or more advanced aluminum foil packaging, it is better to kill him. With limited raw materials on hand, Yang Zhenjing
After careful selection, I chose oil paper, which is now a common packaging method for Chinese cooked food products.
As for the other two things, in addition to the captured cans, in order to ensure the nutrition and calorie consumption of the cadres and soldiers during the bitterly cold Northeast operations in winter, Yang Zhen immediately used the Japanese canning production line in Jiamusi after taking Jiamusi.
He created the canned luncheon meat that was thoroughly cursed by American officers and soldiers during World War II and the Chinese Army-standard military canned food that he ate in later generations.
However, after the Production and Construction Corps was established, in addition to raising a large number of chickens and ducks with short growth cycles, as well as pigs, which are the main meat for the Chinese people, in order to ensure the supply of meat to the troops, Yang Zhen also specifically requested the Production and Construction Corps to raise a large amount of roughage-resistant feed and grass.
Sheep are viable and have the shortest growth cycle among domestic animals. Therefore, these types of meat are mainly used in canned food.
Although with the intensification and mechanization of agriculture, cattle, which were originally used as the main livestock power for arable land, have also been eliminated in large numbers. As a result, the varieties of canned lunch meat developed by Yang Zhen are much richer than those of Americans. However, due to the local eating habits, relatively
Compared with canned mutton, which seems a little fishy, canned chicken and beef, and even luncheon meat made from this kind of pork, are much more popular.
Due to the long growth period of cattle, there are not many cattle in the base area at present. Therefore, the Military Region Logistics Department has formulated a strict regulation on the use of canned beef. In battle, only the wounded can eat canned beef. Therefore, the troops generally distribute
Luncheon meat and canned chicken made from this kind of pork, especially luncheon meat that consumes less meat and is mixed with a lot of starch and mashed potatoes.
Among the canned food in the field of the army, each person is usually issued two cans of luncheon meat, or an additional can of chicken when necessary. Sometimes a canned fish is also issued. Guarding the Songhua River
, Heilongjiang, two rivers rich in fishery resources, Yang Zhen still considered appropriately adjusting the taste of canned food.
But no matter how you adjust the taste, this kind of canned luncheon meat, which contains a lot of starch and requires the least meat, is the biggest one. Generally, the army will give priority to this kind of canned luncheon meat when using it. As for canned chicken and fish,
, usually only used when you can eat real food.
This kind of canned mashed potatoes, which only adds starch, salt and MSG, and is also mixed with potatoes, the largest vegetable production in the base area, is far less tasty than the captured Japanese canned beef. But it can ensure the calories needed by the troops in fierce battles.
, to maintain the physical strength of the soldiers. Moreover, the production of tinplate for the outer packaging of cans is much simpler than that of steel. It can be produced in ordinary workshops.
The source of ham sausage is the same as luncheon meat. The only reason for producing ham sausage is that although the sources of tinplate are widespread, it is still difficult to process the stuff into cans to the standards required. So Yang Zhen developed a lighter one.
Each soldier will be given a few ham sausages every time, regardless of whether they are fighting in a roundabout way, fighting through interludes, or fighting head-on.
As for compressed biscuits, they are similar to instant noodles. They are mainly made of puffed corn flour made from corn, with a small amount of white flour and bean flour mixed in. It is just that it is mixed with walnut powder, sesame seeds, peanuts,
White sugar, grated radish roasted with lard and butter.
However, due to problems with the production process and outer packaging, the storage time is not as long as that of later generations. The nutrition and compressed biscuits mixed with a variety of vitamins and minerals in later generations are even more incomparable. However, Yang Zhen still found a way to import one.
A batch of glucose and vitamins are mixed into it.
Although these field foods have some shortcomings in terms of taste and nutrition. Especially for the outer packaging, due to the lack of aluminum foil and plastic, oil paper can only be used. As a result, the shelf life is far less long than that of similar products in later generations. For example, compressed biscuits are used because of their use.
Ordinary oiled paper, instead of sealed packaging, can only be kept for a month and a half at most before it becomes hard and inedible. And it cannot see water.
But after all, it solves the urgent needs of the troops in roundabout operations, ambush battles and other situations where it is inconvenient to make fire. In particular, it ensures that the troops can survive the severe cold of more than minus 30 degrees or even minus 40 degrees in the northern Manchuria area.
Intake and hot food needs.
Since the battle last autumn and the occupation of Jiamusi, a city with certain industrial capabilities because it served as a logistics supply base for the Japanese and puppet troops in Sanjiang Province, these kinds of field foods have replaced the fried rice and fried noodles that were originally used as field foods in the troops.
Although the raw materials are limited by the variety of grain production, corn flour is still the main ingredient. However, Haolai is much stronger than fried rice and fried noodles that have a single taste and lack of nutrients. Eat simple instant noodles with canned luncheon meat or ham sausage, and then
Paired with a piece of compressed biscuit, the troops can have hot meals in the shortest time on the ice and snow.
A bag of instant noodles with a piece of ham sausage is the first choice of many people in later generations who have no time to cook or are simply too lazy to cook. However, it is still very unfamiliar to people of this era. Not to mention eating it, they have never seen it.
Saw it.
As for luncheon meat, although the Americans have invented it and used it extensively in World War II, for this Northeastern hinterland, which is thousands of miles away from the United States, I have never seen it, let alone heard of it. Cause
It’s not surprising that Chinese people, who have always been quite curious, are curious.
When those citizens returned home contentedly with a bag of instant noodles, a piece of ham or a canned luncheon meat set in exchange for a few eggs, half a pound of meat, or even a few handfuls of vegetables. The troops who satisfied the curiosity of the citizens,
Finally I was able to have breakfast in peace.
