Chapter 10 Fried Rice
"So what kind of field rations should you choose?" Sun Wenbin now has a bucket of paste in his head. This field ration must be based on easily accessible food resources, so it is only possible to choose rice, but what field rations can rice be used for? Ground into flour to make rice noodles? What comes out of the bubble is rice paste, which is inconvenient to eat and inconvenient to clean.
He couldn't help but look out the window, at this time the office building of the Ministry of Agriculture had been set up on the edge of the farm, and in front of the window was the hundreds of acres of experimental fields developed a few months ago. A considerable number of potatoes have been planted in the field, at this time because the temperature is more suitable, the growth is quite lush, because under his strict requirements, the naturalized people of the farm are planted in strict accordance with the sowing requirements, both the depth and density of the sowing are carried out quite well, at this time the rows of potato leaves in the field are very neatly arranged, so that the naturalized people are very surprised by this. These chiefs usually pay attention to everything neatly and uniformly, the cups in the dormitory must be placed in the same direction, even the toothbrush must be placed in one direction, I didn't expect even the planting to be so particular, but they are also secretly discussing, these potatoes look good at this time, but when sowing is so far apart, how much can an acre of land be harvested?
He knows very well what the naturalized migrant workers are thinking, because the potatoes in this era have never experienced detoxification, the potato tubers are often relatively small, generally speaking, one acre of land is not more than 100 catties, and the tubers are extremely small because of insufficient fertilization and negligent management. However, the varieties brought by the crossing are excellent varieties, and with the fertility of this newly opened black soil, it is really embarrassing to go out to meet people if the yield per mu is less than three tons. But now, the potatoes are still swelling under the soil, and it may not be practical to obtain starch from potatoes to make potato flour for the time being. "In two months, there will be potato flour to eat in two months."
However, he also knows that it is impractical to eat potato flour alone, potatoes are easy to fill, but starch is also easy to digest. As a military ration, it is necessary to increase the protein content, it seems that it is necessary to add appropriate animal protein such as fishmeal lard, the simplest is of course directly one egg per person, but at this time, the few chickens brought by the crossing themselves are still nested in the chicken farm, and they did not start laying eggs until a few days ago. There are no eggs and no chickens, and this biggest mystery of the ages is completely difficult for Sun Wenbin here. So at this point, the only thing left is the fish. Since the navy's fishing boats have been fishing all kinds of seafood in the sea since the first day of landing, the supply of fish is not too much of a problem, and the fish that can be eaten can be directly fed, or made into pickled fish or dried fish, and even the internal organs of the fish can be used to make fish sauce...... It's just that the taste is too terrible, and at this time, when I think of the terrible taste when I make fish sauce, Sun Wenbin suddenly recalled the taste of the soldier food pills just now...... In the past few months, the processing of fish has become an industrial chain, and the scientific processing methods and future processing methods brought by the public have opened the eyes of the natives, the fish balls processed in the Oriental Port are full and uniform, with good elasticity, and they do not know what spices are put in it, and the entrance taste is fragrant, and it has been sought after by the aborigines since it was launched, so that the vendors who come to the Oriental Port every day to buy a large number of fish balls in Anyun City have to queue up in front of the meat store. However, in line with the guiding principle of the Senate Planning Committee, even the bones that were picked out during the making of fish balls were ground into powder and added to the feed for the pigs and cattle brought in.
To say that raising pigs is faster than raising cattle, at this time they brought several Taihu sows are pregnant at this time, these sows are famous for their strong fecundity, as a hybrid father is the legendary Landrace pig introduced from Denmark. In addition, there are a few sows that are Northeast folk pigs, this kind of pig is a breed in the Northeast, resistant to rough feeding, and has a lot of births, but in the old time and space because the fat deposition rate is too high and not liked, but at this time the crossing crowd needs animal fat, so they have also received strong attention from naturalized breeders.
But the selectivity of the cattle is not so much, and the only ones brought by the crossing are Dutch black and white cows and cattle, and as they expected, several buffaloes were sent from the supplies of the labor army of An Yun City last time. It seems that it would be wise to use the buffalo as an animal power without a carry. The gestation period of a cow is different from that of a pig, which is about 120 days, while a cow needs a solid 10 months, just like a human. At this time, there were a few cows in the pasture next to the farm, slowly eating grass by the cattle pen, seeing this, Sun Wenbin couldn't help but shake his head, don't think about beef jerky. Time is too short, only about three months after landing, and the industrial city that has begun to take shape has been a miracle among miracles, but food is not something that can grow rapidly through everyone's efforts, so at this time, we can only find a way from the existing food resources.
In the end, Sun Wenbin couldn't make up his mind, so he had to pull Li Jieqi to the office of the Ministry of Agriculture to taste everything and let him come up with ideas. As soon as Li Jieqi came over, he was naturally shocked by the various novelty field rations on the table.
"So much?" Li Jieqi asked, pointing to the various rations on the table.
"It's still good, I've thrown quite a bit." Sun Wenbin pointed to the pile of rations thrown on the wooden sofa next to him and said, "I recommend you try the Soldier Food Pills." As he spoke, he handed over the bamboo tube containing the soldier food pills.
This Li Jieqi is also a guy who likes to watch Japanese anime, and he has admired this soldier food pill for a long time, and when he saw that someone could provide the soldier food pill here, he couldn't help but be curious, and quickly took it and opened it and threw one into his mouth, but he didn't notice Sun Wenbin's sneer on the side.
Sure enough, after Li Jieqi finally spit out the soldier food pills in his mouth after a while, he directly picked up the teacup on Sun Wenbin's table and took a big sip, rinsing it in his mouth several times before spitting it out.
"You're in mind, aren't you?" Li Jieqi's tears were about to be sour now, and he almost shouted when he looked at Sun Wenbin, who was snickering on the side. "Can anyone eat this?"
"I don't know if I can eat it, but I don't think I can eat it, if this kind of thing is provided to our troops, they will definitely rise up and rebel." Sun Wenbin raised his eyebrows and said.
The two of them tasted almost everything in the office, and finally chose rice noodles. This kind of rice noodles is also called Jiangnan rice noodles, and the production method of rice noodles is almost exactly the same, which is to wash the rice and grind it into flour and add water to make a paste, then steam it into a piece with a pot, and then divide it into strips after cooling. This kind of food is simple to make, easy to process, the only headache is that the shelf life is too short, about twenty-four hours later, it will be broken, unless vacuum packaging, but at this time through the public can not produce plastic, can not be vacuum packaging. So both of them sat down at the table in frustration, and at this time what could be eaten could not be made, what could be made was easy to spoil, and what was not easy to spoil could not be eaten, and this life fell off into a dead circle.
When they were still depressed when they ate in the cafeteria, Du Yande and Cao Xiang were eating at the table next to them with their children, and when they turned their heads, they saw these two people sitting there dejectedly, looking at the food in front of them with an unpleasant look.
"What's wrong with you two?" Cao Xiang asked curiously.
Sun Wenbin sighed, told the matter of preparing to provide the troops with about two tons of field rations in a few days, and then introduced the issue of selecting field rations.
"Aren't we ready to make glass?" Cao Xiang turned his head and asked Du Yande, Du Yande was stunned for a moment, and nodded, "The glass factory was put into operation a few days ago, but it is still solving the problem of bubbles inside." ”
"Then the problem is not difficult to solve, just bring the rice over and cook it freshly, put the prepared sauce in a glass bottle, and pour the sauce on it before eating." Cao Xiang suggested on the side.
"It's not impossible, but what if the battle is very urgent? How do you eat when you can't make a fire to cook? Li Jieqi thought about this thorny question.
"By the way, have you thought about fried noodles and fried rice?" Du Yande asked, "The volunteers ate these things and fought with Lao Mei back then. ”
"Don't think about fried noodles, we don't have enough flour. Fried rice is also very troublesome, and when I checked the information, I saw that it said that it should be fried with millet rice to be delicious. Sun Wenbin shook his head.
"But at this time, it is necessary to solve the problem of whether there is or not, not the question of good or bad taste, rice can also be fried, the key is to fry the water in it, and when you want to eat it, you can eat it dry or soak it in water." Du Yande laughed, "The packaged fried rice I used to buy in the wholesale market was not fried from millet rice, it was rice." ”
"Really? Why not try it? Sun Wenbin and Li Jieqi glanced at each other, then nodded at the same time, got up and ran to the back kitchen.
"Stir-fried rice until there is no water at all?" Tang Shuai stared at the eager gaze of these two guys, and then shook his head calmly, "You should be making egg fried rice?" Go straight to the frying machine! I can't make this kind of thing. ”
The two of them just woke up from a dream at this time, in order to process some Chinese medicinal materials, Sun Wenqing specially brought a roasting machine to process medicinal materials, but at this time they were ruthlessly requisitioned to experiment and fry a few catties of rice. The effect of stir-frying is quite good, except that there is no taste, the texture and storage period have met the requirements, and it is very good to solve without taste, which can be achieved by adding some spices when frying rice. So some of the guys in charge of field rations almost didn't sleep all night that night, and fried more than 30 flavors of fried rice. At dawn, they appeared at the entrance of the barracks with a large pile of paper bags.
