Seeing his unkind face, Colonel Lei Haihai, who was in charge of food in the barracks, hurriedly said: "Report to the chief, this is in accordance with the food standards issued by the Ministry of National Defense!" ”

"Oh!" Li Laiheng's face was a little gentle, and he didn't say much.

Lei Hai led him to the officer's cafeteria, where the environment was more comfortable, and the food seemed normal: braised crucian carp, stewed chicken nuggets with potatoes, shredded potatoes with vinegar, stir-fried rape, three fresh soups, the staple food was rice, and a banana.

Meat and vegetarian food, nutrition and fruits after meals are exactly the standards that the Southeast Army should have.

Everyone fought, found a place to sit down, and while eating, Colonel Lei Haihai explained: "Our soldiers here are all Hindu, so the food is vegetarian, no meat!" ”

"How can you keep the soldiers physically fit without meat?" Li Laiheng asked.

"The staple esophagus is full, and the tube is enough!" Lei Hai said: "Cook a lot of rice, enough pancakes, and add potatoes to provide enough energy!" ”

"As for those beans, it's the equivalent of plant-based meat!" Lei Hai explained: "That's chickpeas, and Indians love to eat them. ”

He asked people to go to the soldiers' cafeteria outside to get some chickpeas for the commander to taste, and it was the first time Li Laiheng had seen chickpeas, whose seeds resembled eagle's beaks.

"It tastes good!" Li Laiheng said approvingly.

Lei Hai said: "The main thing is that the seasoning is good. ”

As far as he remembers, it seems to have been added with coriander seeds, salt, mango, pomegranate seeds, red pepper, cumin, black pepper, black salt, fenugreek leaves, cloves, mint, nutmeg, cinnamon, adzuki bean, coriander, bean and so on.

"Yes!" Li Laiheng said immediately.

He still knows the price, cloves, nutmeg and other spices are now valuable goods, and when the value is high, a shipload of spices shipped back to Europe is a shipload of silver!

The army is willing to give food to the Indian soldiers, and it is really not abusing them!

Of course, the spices given to Indian soldiers are all scraps, and they can't be eaten every day, and they are only available during the New Year's holidays.

Today, the commander came, and specially arranged food for the Indian soldiers, and speaking of which, they still entrusted Li Laiheng with his blessings.

"And what about their field rations?" Li Laiheng asked by the way.

"Hot food is crepes, cold food is our hard biscuits!" Lei Hai introduced.

Hard biscuits are common to all three armies, and they are really ubiquitous.

"And potatoes!" Lei Hai said: "Save water, fertilizer, energy, good planting, and storage, the leader asked the logistics base to promote the planting of potatoes." ”

The potato is not far from being popularized, it is native to the Andes Mountains of South America, and in the mid-16th century, the potato was brought to Europe from South America by a Spanish colonist. At that time, people always admired the beauty of its flowers and used it as an ornament.

Europeans eventually discovered that it was edible, and by 1650 potatoes had become a staple food crop in Ireland and began to spread in Europe.

When it spread to China, Yan Changwu, who controlled the sea routes, was overjoyed when he saw it.

Other people don't know its benefits, but as a traverser, he won't know the benefits of the auspicious three treasures of China: "potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes"?!

So the auspicious three treasures got the treatment they deserved, and they were planted everywhere with the expansion of the Southeast Army.

When Li Laiheng was training in the military department, he naturally knew about it, and he especially remembered that he was very impressed by a kind of sweet potato saying: "That thing is good, we use it to feed pigs in the countryside!" ”

As long as possible, Chinese people will not take potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes as staple foods to eat, potatoes fried into fries is good, cooking is good, potato roast beef is a famous dish; Corn is delicious as a snack, corn and carrot soup made of pork bones is very popular, and sweet potatoes are dried sweet potatoes as a snack, and some people like to eat it for breakfast to make their stomach comfortable.

And here, Indians regard potatoes as treasures, one of the important staple foods!

"The Indian soldiers don't eat much vegetables, and even if they do, they make them into vegetable puree to eat, which is hard to eat, and the fruits are too expensive, so we let them drink brick tea, so that they can defecate." Lei Hai said it very truthfully.

Brick tea, in fact, inferior tea leaves and tea residue tea stem pressing, the cheapest tea, the tea brewed is bitter and astringent, as long as the Chinese have a little condition, they will not be accompanied.

Despite this, Indians have never had such a good drink before, so drink it right.

Seeing that the commander was paying attention, Lei Hai introduced all the way, and when it came to the snacks of the soldiers, they were snacks. Snacks are the first of the Southeast Army, rare and even unique in the Chinese dynasties, resting in the former Ming Army, insufficient supplies, even can't eat, dreaming of snacks to eat?

Even in the world, there are no armies that are seriously incorporating snacks into the supply of the army, but the Southeast Army has done it.

The leader believes that snacks can ease the tension of the soldiers and replenish their physical strength--- he is influenced by the US military, the Yankees' Coca-Cola culture has traveled all over the world, Coca-Cola is a snack, and the chocolate of the US military has become a cultural symbol.

In the same way, the Chinese Hopping Deer Milk Candy has also become a cultural symbol of the Chinese nation!

"We Chinese have toffee and beef jerky, and the Indian soldiers give them fodder!" Lei Hai said.

"Feed?" Lee Lai Heng has a heavy exclamation mark!

"That's what you used to feed the horses, sir!" As soon as Lei Hai said, Li Laiheng immediately understood.

The horses they ride will often be pulled in bags of hemp to feed the horses as feed, what are they?

Bean cake and peanut cake. The soybean cake is the residue after the soybeans have been fried and crushed and fried in oil, and the shape is irregular, piece by piece.

Peanut cake is the dregs of peanuts that have been fried in oil after crushing and then pressed into the shape of a grinding wheel, with a hole in the middle.

There are two kinds of peanut cakes, one is the slag of raw peanuts after frying oil, and the other is the slag of fried peanuts after frying oil, bean cakes and cooked peanut cakes are very fragrant, and raw peanut cakes are not dripping, so raw peanut cakes are not provided to the three pots to eat, and the bean cakes and cooked peanut cakes can be used as feed for war horses, and can also be used as snacks for the three pots, killing two birds with one stone, very popular with the three pots!

They put bean cakes and peanut cakes in military satchels, and when they have time, they take a sip of fodder!

What the? Don't eat!

Okay, we have beef jerky, do you want three pots?

Can't blame us for not giving it to you!

Li Laiheng felt a little dizzy, this is okay!

In this way, it is cheap to raise Indian soldiers, and the cost of raising one Chinese soldier can raise five Indian soldiers, no wonder four of the five divisions of the army are Indians, this is not a cheap consumable!

Li Laiheng didn't dare to say this, and Lei Hai said: "We are not bad!" ”

He said that when he talked about recruitment, the recruitment scene was very hot, because Indians are not rich, and they have at least a bite to eat when they enter the army, and they are full!

"Their civilians worship the gods, they only eat one meal a day, they don't eat meat, they are immortals, we are people, the military camp has three meals, there are snacks, military uniforms are free, and daily necessities are distributed, it is much better to be a soldier in our place!" Lei Hai is an understatement.

The Southeast Army does not adopt the method of equal pay for equal work, and does not say that the Chinese have so much money and the Japanese have so much money, but adopts the method that the foreign soldiers are higher than the civilian salary standards of their home countries, which is equivalent to the Chinese being regular workers and the foreign soldiers being temporary workers, and the salaries are naturally different.

Even so, foreign soldiers are treated much better than in their home countries.

If you want the same salary, then try to get a household register.

For Indians, if they get the Chinese household registration book, they can raise their class and become Kshatriyas, winners in life!

We Chinese don't treat the three pots lightly, really!
