In order to facilitate the preservation of relief rations, the dehydration process is very thorough, so the texture is too hard. Generally, people have to use a hammer to crush it, and then eat it with water. It is almost impossible to swallow without drinking water. More
Sometimes the eater will add some vegetables and cook it into a paste directly for consumption.
Relief rations are essentially simplified individual soldier rations. The taste and nutrition cannot be compared with ordinary military ready-to-eat food. In particular, its hard and rough texture and weird taste make it almost impossible to eat except for hungry refugees.
People praise it. When Skade was on a business trip and had to eat relief rations for a week due to a mistake in the logistics department, he once made a very harsh comment: A person can live on grass grass for half a year, and he can live for seven days without eating.
, if you only eat relief rations, you can only live for three days. In the mainland guide, the relief rations were nicknamed "teeth bricks".
Some efforts were made to improve the taste of the relief rations. Within a few months after the rations were developed, the R&D team imitated modern instant noodles and developed cumin, spicy, and spicy by adding various spices and seasonings.
, seafood, scallion and other flavors. Of course, the change in taste does not actually increase the food intake. Except for hungry people, ordinary soldiers and workers still give them bad reviews. Just as they have tasted all the products in research and development that have not been put into production or have not yet been put into production.
Dongmen Chuiyu of the fast food company put it into production: For hungry people, the variety of flavors cannot fill their empty stomachs; for people who can eat normally, no matter how complex the seasoning is, relief rations cannot be filled.
Become delicious.
From the beginning of "Operation Engine" to transport refugees until the end of the Mainland Raiders, tens of millions of relief rations of various types were produced, saving millions of refugees from starving to death. These rations were wrapped in oil paper and neatly stacked
The standard twenty-liter wooden box made of nailed wooden boards is exactly the same as the wooden box containing ammunition, so it is usually painted in red and yellow colors to distinguish it. Later, the imperial army who conquered everywhere sometimes also
Carry some to stabilize people's sentiments or to pay commissions to migrant workers.
During this period, relief rations were printed in bold boldface letters: "A gift from the Senate and the people of the Empire."
The shelf life of relief rations is set at three years. In fact, in relatively low-temperature and dry environments, some batches of rations produced later and produced under better processing conditions can still be eaten safely after twenty years of storage. Of course, this
The seed rations have become extremely hard and almost impossible to chew.
It must be boiled into a paste with a large amount of water before it can be eaten. Due to its shelf-stable nature, it has been used as a food in some remote outposts on the border of the empire with long logistics lines, as well as in trading stations and research stations deep in the wilderness.
The relief rations were tightly packed and then served as internal non-load-bearing walls in certain rooms as a last resort emergency reserve. This measure saved the lives of many soldiers and exploration expedition personnel on duty in remote locations, allowing them to survive among the barbarians.
Under siege, he was able to hold out until the rescue force arrived.
"Because relief rations are very strong and difficult to eat, there are always expired relief rations left because no one has eaten them in warehouses of the military and planning institutes in various places. The general method of disposal is to hand them over to the agricultural department for grinding and cultivating earthworms.
However, some of the better-quality ones will be picked out, and some soldiers will use bayonets to cut relief rations into various handicrafts or small daily necessities in their spare time. For example, the pipe you see is from the veteran Navy Admiral Shi Zhiqi.
Pipes made by himself using relief rations. In addition, the veteran General Panda has collected relief ration pipes from all years since the advent of relief rations. Please see, these are the collections donated to our museum by Senator Pan. They are respectively

The bumper harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes further promoted animal husbandry, and corned beef pellets were added, which was unprecedented at the time. Now we can still see whole corned beef pellets on the surface of the pipe. Therefore, the relief rations made in the Holy Eighth Year
"The pipe is also called the Great Harvest Pipe." The Imperial Military Museum's commentator on the relief ration pipe. The people of Lingao, whether they are naturalized people or indigenous people, now know that the Australians are about to launch a large-scale operation.
This is not unfounded. Anyone who has a little knowledge of the way "Australians" or "thieves" do things will know that the busy scene in the food factory of the Ministry of Light Industry reveals this disturbing situation.
omen.
In the new factory building of Wenlan Riverside Food Factory, relief rations are being put into large-scale production, and the output of grassland dry food has also increased three times than usual. Starting from March, the food factory's task is to produce 100,000 servings of No. 1 every month
Relief rations and 20,000 pieces of grassland dry food. The task assigned by the Planning Institute is to complete 400,000 No. 1 relief rations and 50,000 No. 1 instant soup cubes by the end of June 1631. Complete 1.2 million No. 1 instant soup cubes by the end of the year.
The annual total order. In addition, orders for other fast food products have been placed, including fish lugs, salted fish, pickles, pickles, kimchi, biscuits and candies, etc.
Various umbrella companies under the Ministry of Light Industry and the People's Committee on Agriculture: grain processing plants, seafood processing plants, and food factories have all expanded their scale and increased their personnel. 850 naturalized workers have been divided into two shifts and all vacations have been cancelled.
.Production is carried out at a rate of 2 brushes per day, 7 days a week.
The roads from Bopu to various food factories have been renovated and converted into high-grade cinder-hardened roads. Heavy ox carts and light purple electric carts are running on the road with rolling wheels. Cars are coming in and out of the factory gate from morning to night.
Other than that, it looks no different from factories in other industrial zones. However, when fast food with a lot of spices is produced, people nearby can smell the strong aroma.
There are many vehicles coming in and out of the food factory every day to carry goods. Some even use the refrigerators on the trucks to deliver: 150kg basket of various vegetables: 50kg bag of brown rice, rice noodles, beans: 100kg bag
Dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato powder: 50kg per basket Fruit: 50kg per pack Cane sugar and salt: 5kg per pack Spices: 50kg per box Salted and fresh fish: 5

A wide variety of vegetable oils for human consumption.
The floors and walls of the newly built factory building are all covered with ceramic tiles, and rows of glass windows are used for lighting and ventilation windows. Multi-layer screens are installed, ranging from ordinary rovings to fine yarns that can be made into clothes. This prevents even the smallest flying insects from entering.
When entering and exiting the workshop, workers have to drain lime pools, and their hands must be washed carefully when changing clothes. Workers wear white overalls, hoods and masks, and oilcloth overshoes to process raw materials. Most of the raw materials are ground into powdered vegetables and fruits.
It is processed into paste or dry products. Then various raw materials are continuously poured into a large pot for processing according to the formula. Then water is added to the mixing pot for stirring. The mixing pot is driven by a steam engine powered by a transmission shaft on the ceiling.
The newly installed large mixing pot can stir 250 kilograms at a time.
Kilograms of raw materials.
The industrial port cannot produce stainless steel for the time being, nor can it make pots due to cost and energy issues. Therefore, most of the processing equipment in the food factory uses tinned iron sheets, and a few small-sized processing equipment uses copper. Some of them use copper.
