Food is the most important thing for the people, so to recruit refugees, there must be enough food. Providing food for 200,000 people for long-distance travel is an even heavier burden - even if it sets sail from Shanghai or Zhapu, the sea route to Lingao is 900 kilometers long.
It takes 10 days for a sailing ship to reach the sea.
Even for a healthy person, it is not easy to walk this sea route on a crowded and bumpy sailing ship, not to mention a group of hungry refugees who have been suffering from long-term malnutrition. If certain nutrients are not provided,
Without adequate calorie rations, it would be difficult for them to live to see the end of the journey.
Based on their experience in hosting refugees over the past few years, serving gruel with vegetables is a kind of food that is more beneficial to the refugees’ weak stomachs. After their stomachs gradually adapt, protein foods can be added to the gruel: mainly seafood, just
It can play a role in enhancing 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 is also quite inconvenient in transportation and use. In the small kitchen on the ship, it is difficult for several people to cook porridge or other foods.
It is quite difficult to cook gruel for a hundred people. There must be simple and easy-to-eat food.
Hong Huangnan's supply plan is based on the "pillar operation" that landed in Sanya in the past - supplying each ship with enough grassland instant rations. This series of instant rations has developed very maturely: there are already three series of ten
Two varieties. If you include different flavors and ingredients, there are even more sub-species. Not only does this series fully meet the standards in terms of nutrition and calories, but the taste has also been greatly improved.
But this plan was rejected by Wu De: it was too expensive to distribute grassland rations in large quantities. Moreover, the stock of grassland rations was insufficient, including the part stored in the army warehouse. There were only 1.5 campaign stocks. The nutritional structure was not very reasonable. Grassland
Rations are high-calorie rations used to replenish a large amount of physical energy consumed during fierce combat marches, so the ingredients contain more protein and fat.
The rich protein and fat are difficult for the weak stomachs of refugees to bear. Not only that, the human body needs to consume a large amount of extra fresh water to digest and metabolize protein, which can easily cause thirst. This is another problem for a refugee ship that is crowded with refugees and has limited water storage.
Increased water supply pressure.
Wu De then handed over the matter to the agricultural export and food factories and asked them to develop a relief ration specially used to relieve refugees.
The biggest difference between relief rations and grassland series rations is the cost - compared with the grassland series, which has a wide variety and complete content, relief rations consider more of high-volume, low-cost production under the conditions of ensuring energy and basic nutrition.
This matter fell on Xun Suji - as the director of the food factory, of course he had no shirk in the matter. Xun Suji got married and had a family. When he returned home, his wife took good care of him. More importantly, nothing happened between Liu Meilan and Kim Hee Sun.
The trick of "Family Fighting". The family relationship is relatively harmonious, and everything is prosperous. Director Xun not only enjoys the blessings of his family, but he is also very motivated at work.
After receiving the task, he immediately gathered with the people who originally developed grassland rations to discuss how to create relief rations.
The relief ration meeting was held in the Lotus Root Pavilion of Nanhai Farm. Unlike the cafe, this place is a deliberately created "rural scenery". Compared with the past, the environment around the Lotus Root Pavilion has been deliberately renovated. In the pond full of lotus leaves,
Next to it, the original large pavilion made of bamboo and straw has been renovated into three waterside pavilion buildings with wooden terraces facing the water. Fruit trees and willows are planted all around. The bamboo fence is covered with green pumpkin vines.
Being there, it feels like some very elaborate "farmhouse" resorts from the old days.
In addition to the developers and "enthusiasts" of the original agricultural rations, the participants also came to get involved. His enthusiasm for relief rations was entirely due to the need to preach in Li District. The agricultural production in Li District is relatively high.
The Han District is even more backward, especially the Shengli District, which is completely slash-and-burn farming. Insufficient rations in villages are a common phenomenon. The church often distributes relief rations as a means of missionary work. Therefore, Lingao Seminary is in urgent need of cheap relief rations.
The people who originally developed grassland rations were basically a group of "military ration control". There were many veterans sitting at home in pajamas eating military instant rations bought at high prices. What about MRE, the British army's 24-hour rations, and the French single-use rations?
Heating rations for soldiers, 06 self-heating food for individual soldiers, every item is treasured at home.
Now we need to develop a relief ration, which is tantamount to rubbing everyone's g-spot. Many people came to the Lotus Root Pavilion, some of whom were not originally on the list of participants, but they all came here in their busy schedule.
According to the refugee supply standards set by Chen Sigen: the food supply standard for a refugee when "transported by public transport" is 1,790 kilocalories per day. It is roughly equivalent to the supply standard in German prisoner-of-war camps during World War II, and can guarantee that he will not starve to death.
Of course, refugees do not practice or engage in any work when transported by public transport. Children, pregnant women and patients have different supply standards.
Wu Nanhai suggested that the raw materials for rations should be priority to use sweet potato flour - not sweet potato starch, sweet potato starch is pure starch, and sweet potato flour is made by drying sweet potato slices and grinding them directly into powder. It contains a lot of fiber from sweet potatoes.
Lingao has a large reserve of dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato powder. Tiandi will promote improved sweet potato cultivation on a large scale in Lingao. Both state-owned farms and ordinary farmers have produced a large amount of sweet potatoes. It can be said that the supply of raw materials is very sufficient.
It is an important raw material for Lingao food industry.
In addition to sweet potato flour, there is a small amount of protein. Wu Nanhai suggested adding a small amount of soybean flour or bean dregs. Leguminous crops are widely planted as nitrogen-fixing crops in Lingao's new crop rotation system. In addition to soybeans, which are used to extract oil and make tofu, the supply is tight.
In addition, the reserves of broad beans, peas, black beans, chickpeas, etc. in the grain depot are still considerable.
"...Add sugar and salt, mix in some dried vegetables, and if you think the bean dregs are not enough, mix in fish meal and finally dry it into lumps." Wu Nanhai said.
Ye Yuming said: "Why do you want to make bricks? It's a waste of labor. I don't think it is necessary. If you are purely considering low cost, dried sweet potatoes will do - we have a large reserve of this stuff, and it is not easy to break. We can load a few on each ship."
Hundreds of sacks are distributed to the refugees for each meal. We guarantee 500 grams of dried sweet potatoes a day to ensure that they will not die of hunger. We just need to ration some soup: the refugees cannot eat salt."
He proposed: Make a concentrated and dehydrated condiment made into bricks: a three-in-one concentrated soup cube made of miso, kelp, and dried vegetables.
The miso soup cooked with this soup cube is a commonly used dish in Japan and North Korea. It is rich in nutrients, although the taste is not very good.
"If you like, you can add some dehydrated vegetables or dried fish to the miso soup to supplement nutrients. Sweet potatoes have a high fiber content, so there is no need to supplement things like fiber."
Hong Huangnan continued to advocate his potato flour plan. He had a special liking for potatoes and had been advocating that the army and workers should eat more potatoes.
"It's still the same plan I mentioned before: mix dehydrated potato powder, animal fat, and spices. When eating, just add water and mix to make mashed potatoes. Potatoes are rich in nutrients and can completely replace rice grains. If it can replace the supply of 5,000 soldiers, each
People consume half a kilogram of rice every day. If you eat mashed potatoes one day a week, you will save 2,500 kilograms of rice every week and 10,000 kilograms of rice every month. This number is very impressive. Of course, refugees can eat it more. I think protein
There is no need to supply the refugees by sea. Water is needed to digest protein, so it is better to add fat.”
"I still want the grease myself," Dongmen Chuiyu, the representative of the General Staff, said, "Grease is not enough even for the senators to eat, so why should we give it 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 a vegetable or a staple food. The excess potatoes are dehydrated and made into potato powder, which can be stored for a long time! I have never understood why the agricultural department doesn't like to promote potatoes?"
"Lingao is not suitable for growing potatoes, so we should promote it in the north," Wu Nanhai said. Potatoes are planted in the experimental fields of Nanhai Farm - purely to maintain the source of the seeds, not to promote them. Just a small amount of planting to see the yield.
It is also not as high as in the north, and has no advantages compared with cultivated sweet potatoes.
The yield of potatoes is very high, but potatoes have a lot of water. The actual grain yield ratio needs to be greatly discounted. According to the standards of the old time and space, five pounds of potatoes can be worth one pound of rice.
After discussion, the final relief ration plan was named the "Simple Meal" series. The No. 1 simple meal is sweet potato flour "biscuits." The same half-pound standard brick contains two cake bricks, including salty, sweet, light and medium.
Mix and match the two flavors. Also being finalized and put into production is the "No. 1 instant soup cube", which is the "miso soup" that Ye Yuming boasted. Making miso requires the use of beans or rice and wheat, and the raw materials are limited, so only
Production in small quantities. One No. 1 instant soup cube can make miso soup for ten people.
The simple food series later developed into a comprehensive supply of rations like the grassland series. However, it has relatively few types. It is simply classified according to its use. In terms of use, it is divided into "on-site relief", "camp relief", and "vehicle and boat transportation"
"Relief" and "Hiking Relief". Each variety is further divided into winter type and ordinary type. The calories and nutritional content of each ration are different.
However, the content of relief rations produced in each batch is very different. According to the season of dry food production, the territory controlled by the Senate continues to expand and the level of agricultural production improves, the content of the rations is also constantly changing. That is, brown rice flour,
The deluxe version is made of whole wheat flour mixed with minced meat jerky, and there is also the simple version that just adds some sweet potato leaves and fish meal to the sweet potato flour during times of stress. In general, the weight, size and energy content of each batch of relief rations are
, the difference in nutritional content is not significant.
