Chapter 154: Fast Food
In a temporary campsite on the bank of the Han River outside the city, Yu Wenwen looked at a bowl of instant rice in front of him in a daze, he had eaten this thing for several months, and now he had no appetite when he saw it, not only that, but also faintly regurgitated.

The logistics of marching and fighting are the key, and how to make food that can be eaten as soon as possible is also crucial, and the so-called "instant food" has become something that Yuwenwen wants to "invent".
In these years, there are no plastic bags and no canned food, so don't think about "vacuum-packed" instant food, as for instant noodles or something, you can think about it, but it consumes too much fuel.
It is okay to use instant noodles to make instant food, but the scale is not large, even if there are more pigs in Huangzhou this year, it is too luxurious to fry instant noodles with lard, once the amount is increased, the money bag can not hold it.
Therefore, Yu Wenwen made meat floss according to "advanced experience", as well as relatively easy to store ham, sausage and other meat products, but this thing is too expensive and cannot be used as a staple food, one of which is always indispensable for corn, wheat and rice.
Orthodox six-year pre-steamed self-heating instant rice, each grain of rice is steamed at high temperature and then dried and stored, pour a cup of hot water to soak before eating, saving time and effort and filling the stomach.
The hot water uses a "high-tech" rapid heating method: a self-heating bowl made of quicklime and water exothermic principle, the emergence of this artifact, so that instant rice solves a major problem in logistics supply?
Believe it!
Yu Wenwen looked at the instant rice he had brewed, and he couldn't move his chopsticks for a long time, the idea was good, and it was no problem to eat it for a few days, but it was a problem to eat it for several months: it tasted the same as chewing wax.
The taste is poor, and he can only rely on condiments to assist in eating, he took out a small packet of meat floss from the side and poured some into the bowl, and poured out half a salted egg from the bamboo tube, fished it and began to brew "appetite".
Even if there is pickled vegetables, salted fish, salted eggs, etc., this thing still tastes like chewing wax in the mouth, and if you are unlucky in the stomach, you will have bloating.
Based on the consistent "scientific attitude", Yu Wenwen invented this thing and conducted a small range of tasting, and the response was not bad at the time, but the cycle of eating was too short, and now after eating for several months, the stomach begins to feel uncomfortable.
It is also a loss that this time it can be regarded as a small-scale consumption, and the people who suffer from stomach discomfort have not affected the operation of the whole army, and Yu Wenwen, who has always taken the lead, is suspected of being "poisoned" when eating instant rice, and his stomach has been "muttering" for several days.
Zhang Yu on the side stubbornly asked, "Master Lang, this thing is really hard to swallow, why don't you change the bowl of rice?" ā
Change? The path you choose will be completed on your knees!
Yu Wenwen sighed in his heart, smiled wryly and waved his hand, and ate this bowl of instant rice, since he asked others to eat it, then he had to be an example.
The power of role models is endless, and in order to promote all kinds of fast food in the army, Yu Wenwen has already given up.
The war is very cruel, an army is surrounded, it is dangerous to cut off water and food, and it is also dangerous to cut off firewood, there is no way to make a fire to cook without firewood, and soldiers can not take rice to eat raw, so self-heating instant food is really an artifact.
It's just that now it seems that things like instant rice have exceeded the scope of technical capabilities, and Yu Wenwen's plan to improve logistics has to be delayed.
After eating easily, Yuwen Wen forcibly endured the feeling of vomiting and walked out of the camp tent, in front of him, there was an endless camp tent, where the army that returned from Guanzhong was encamped, and the people who moved from Guanzhong to Shannan to eat were also temporarily living here.
Their destination was divided into two places after leaving Hankou, most of the Hulin army and the government soldiers went down the river directly to Huangzhou by boat, and a small number followed Yuwenwen to Anlu by Lianshui, while the people landed on the south bank of the Yangtze River and settled in Ezhou Prefecture to govern Xiakou.
In the Guanzhong War, the harvest was inevitably affected, and the Guangtong Warehouse, which had hoarded a lot of grain and grass, was burned by Yuwenwen, and it was impossible to support so many troops and people by relying on the grain stored in Taicang in Chang'an City, so it was necessary to divert some people to Shannan to eat.
This is also a good opportunity to fill the population of Shannan Prefectures, especially Ezhou in the south of the Yangtze River, which has been sparsely populated after the war, and needs people to settle down and reclaim farmland to support the army.
The first batch of 4,000 households, with the class teacher Yuwenwen went to Shannan, stayed in Shangluo for a few days, and after the new shipbuilding was only enough, they went south along the Danshui, and then entered the Hanshui and continued to go south through Xiangyang.
After staying in Yongshan for a few days, and waiting for Ezhou Xiakou to get ready before setting off, Yuwenwen, who organized such a large-scale population transfer for the first time, did not dare to take it lightly, because as long as he was not careful, it would cause a tragedy in the world.
Organization is the most important, it is not easy for people with their families to travel long distances, and it is even more difficult for tens of thousands of people to travel long distances with their families.
More than 30 years ago, the Western Wei Dynasty broke through Jiangling, the capital of the Liang State, and moved all the people in the city to Chang'an.
Yu Wenwen once heard Zheng Tong tell a story that when the people of Jiangling migrated, there was a clerk surnamed Liu who was also among them, and his experience was the epitome of the people who suffered in this long-distance migration.
During the Hou Jing Rebellion, this person's parents, wife and eldest son were not in the war, and it was easy to escape to Jiangzhou, and they met Liang Guozong's internal strife, and the second son died in exile and came to Jiangling, but was moved to Chang'an after a few years of stability.
Holding the young son in his arms, he followed the team of people and horses to walk between the ice and snow, because of hunger and cold, the young son cried non-stop, this is his only remaining flesh and blood, holding tightly and refusing to give up.
Even so, a few days later, the youngest son still froze to death in his arms, and the official surnamed Liu, whose family was ruined, finally starved to death on the way, this kind of human tragedy, Yu Wenwen would never allow it to happen in front of him.
Before setting out from Chang'an, he summoned the generals to draw up a plan of action, accurate to the daily itinerary and contingencies, the supply of food along the way, and the arrangements for camping, all of which were determined, and sent cavalry to various places along the way in advance.
The boundary of Jingzhou in Shannan was prepared, and grain and carriages and horses were mobilized to advance westward along the Wuguan Road, and the garrison of Shangluocheng began to cut down and build ships, so that it was convenient for large troops to board ships outside the city and go south along the Danshui, which could save time and effort.
The people who went to Shannan with the army set off in batches, and each group was accompanied by the soldiers of the Hulin Army, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled all had carriages to sit on, the cars were not enough, the baggage carts vacated the place, and the walking speed was slow, so he strictly limited himself to walking only thirty miles a day, and camped next to the post station to rest just before sunset.
Military doctors are organized to inspect day and night, and when they find patients, they are dealt with in a timely manner, and soldiers are responsible for maintaining law and order.
In the spring, the night wind was cold, and the people's cold clothes may not be enough, so he mobilized the soldiers to donate spare clothes, and the food supply was given priority to the people, and Yu Wenwen himself took the lead in eating instant rice and saving food for the soldiers.
After more than a month, a large army of nearly 30,000 people finally came to Yongshan, which was not far from Xiakou.
The tragedy did not happen, and as "pioneers", they made a good start for the subsequent migration, and the garrisons and officials along the way already had the experience to effectively receive the subsequent migration teams.
Before the commander Tian Zhengyue approached, he had just returned from Xiakou Fighting Qianzhen, and he also brought a reply from Zhou Fashang, the assassin of Ezhou: Xiakou was ready to accept the people who came to settle down.
"Ready? New Year's Day, don't fool your own officials. ā
"The last general doesn't dare to be fooled, since Zhou Zhijun received the news, he and Zheng Changshi organized manpower to build houses, and transferred a large amount of grain from neighboring states, the last general has already checked, most of the houses have been repaired, and the new granaries have also been filled."
"The houses were built so quickly, they are all wooden houses, right? And the granary, which was built in a hurry, is unreliable for moisture-proof, so I don't plan to use it for a long time, right? ā
"Exactly, after the grain distribution is completed, the granary will be used for other purposes, and the general will randomly inspect many houses, and I dare not say that the Huawu mansion, at least it is no problem to shelter from the wind and rain."
"In this case, we will set off tomorrow, if something goes wrong, you, Zhou Yuanjun and Zheng Changshi, go and give the people an explanation! (To be continued.) )
