It has been more than 20 years since Chen Han founded the army, and all aspects of the army have their own set of rules and regulations.

There are hard and fast regulations on the salaries and allowances for all branches and posts of the armed forces, as well as the food and treatment for all branches and posts of the armed forces.

In black and white, one after another, it is clearly written.

From the Chen Jiajun to the Fuhan Army, and from the Fuhan Army to the National Defense Army, the name of the army has changed several times, and the standards and specifications of the army's logistical supply for officers and soldiers have also undergone several changes.

Taking army soldiers in peacetime as an example, the daily rations: one pound of rice [720 grams], or one pound of flour [600 grams], six taels of vegetables [360 grams], two taels of soy products, two taels of meat/aquatic products/seafood, one tael of pickles, five cents of edible oil, one dollar and five cents of salt, one pound of eggs per day, one apple per day, or other fruits are calculated separately. This standard is neither high nor low, but it can definitely meet the needs of soldiers' daily military training and activities. When encountering field training, acting, training and combat, the supply standard will be adjusted according to the situation. For example, meat/seafood/seafood is replaced with canned meat, and the weight is correspondingly increased by two percent.

Chen Ming has pointed out on many occasions that the supply standard of the National Defense Force should not only meet the caloric needs of soldiers for daily exercise, but also take into account nutrition. The severe shortage of nutrients will lead to a general reduction in the level of physical reserves of soldiers.

- As the saying goes, if you don't eat meat, you won't be strong, and you won't be strong! Training alone can't really solve this problem.

However, it is difficult to supply meat products in this era, and it cannot be compared with the developed aquaculture industry in the 21st century, and it can be compared with the standards of the German army during World War II, and Chen Ming is already satisfied.

Of course, this kind of food may be higher than the living standards of ordinary people. Two taels of meat dishes a day, don't look at the living standards of the Chinese people have improved greatly over the years, but there are still many people who can't meet this standard. In other words, many ordinary people in China, millions of ordinary people, have not yet developed the 'luxury' of eating meat every day.

However, compared with nutritional satisfaction, don't ask for too much in terms of taste, especially when fighting in the field, the standard of military supplies has always been: easy to carry, easy to eat, non-perishable, and rich in nutrients. Fresh ingredients can only be attacked on the battlefield, and many of them are products of food processing plants. Such military food is enough to make many food processing factories in this era dizzy.

The only thing that best meets this requirement is canned food, whether it is used to store meat or biscuits, it is the best utensil of our time. But glass cans are an option that no one will consider, so the only thing left is tinplate cans, which are easy to preserve, but the cost of doing so is not low.

A considerable part of China's ferrotin production is consumed on this. In a sense, it solves the problem of the unwanted and incompatible steel production and social and economic development of Chinese society.

Compared with the steel demand of China's economic development in this era, the output of China's steel industry is too high.

This result balances the development of iron and steel metallurgy.

Military canned food uses tinplate, which really has a long shelf life and is easy to store. However, military canned food is a bit too much of a pursuit of 'nutrition', heavy oil and salt, and the taste is very bad for the mouth. When soldiers eat this kind of canned meat, the most common way is 'secondary processing', a can can can make a small pot of soup, put some vegetables in it, and send vegetable lumps or rice, which is a good way to eliminate it.

Zhu Ping'an accompanied Shen Yuan and his entourage, visited all the workshops from beginning to end, and then entered the warehouse.

In terms of hygiene, Zhu Ping'an's factory is really not a problem. What really attracted Shen Yuan's attention was the machine in a workshop.

It's like a windmill lying flat, and the edges of the blades have traces of heavy polishing, which looks very sharp. The machine was driven by a steam engine, and as soon as the workshop door was opened, there was a rumbling sound inside. It's definitely mechanized production.

This is a newly developed project in Zhu Ping'an's factory, which is sausages.

Mix meat and stuffing, do not use manpower, but use a steam engine. A steam engine is more powerful than ten people, and it can adjust the speed and blade to make the speed even from beginning to end, so that the meat filling and accessories can be beaten finer and more evenly. Then it has to go through an air-drying and smoking process to make a long-lasting dry sausage.

The workshop was filled with steam, and Shen Yuan did not smell the fragrance, but smelled an indescribable smell that could not be described in words.

"It's the minced meat that's stirring here."

Zhu Ping'an pointed to a piece of equipment that was similar to the cement mixer of later generations in terms of appearance and body shape, and said that it was driven by a belt on the axle, and under the kinetic energy of the steam engine, it was rumbling to stir hundreds of catties of meat filling in the pot.

"This machine is produced by our Dalian Machinery Factory, first grinding meat, then diced meat, and finally minced meat. The meat is beaten evenly, and the trimmings and seasonings are mixed evenly. Of course, starch is added to it, and salt, spices and various flavorings are added. ”

As Zhu Ping'an was talking, he saw two workers carrying a basket of green broken leaves into the mixer.

He didn't need Shen Yuan to ask, he said, "This is Basil." It has carminative, aromatic, stomach and sweating effects. Europeans use this stuff as a spice. Basil is mixed with oregano, ground pepper and sage, and it tastes great in sausages, sauces or jams.

It's sage that we don't have here, so let's try it with oregano and ground pepper first, the taste should be really good, and then go to find this sage. ”

Zhu Ping'an can't gossip or clichés, but when it comes to the ingredients, effects, and sources of this food production, he is the first to go.

Shen Yuan waited in front of the blender until the meat filling came out, but the color of the meat filling made him feel a little uncomfortable, it was not a bright red, to be honest, he looked at the color and wanted to vomit: "Why is this meat a little white?" ”

"Sausages, all the miscellaneous scraps are used." Zhu Ping'an's answer made smart people vomit blood when they heard it, but this is really the truth.

Sausage is this virtue. Unless it is eaten by those nobles, the best meat is chopped and adjusted. But the sausages made by Zhu Ping'an's factory could not have been delivered to the mouths of nobles, they were immigrants and eaten with mud legs. A lot of fish oil and grease have been added!

Zhu Ping'an estimated that even the army couldn't look down on these things.

But that made him 'save', didn't it?

Just like the seafood canning factory in the south, there is also a small factory next to the big factory, which specializes in processing scraps.

For example, when Zhu Ping'an Factory produced compressed biscuits, the sea bone meal and fish meal mixed in it were specially produced by the small factory.

There are not only fish bones, but also shrimp shells and even crab shells in the sea bone meal, which are not eaten by people in the first place, but a small amount is added to the compressed biscuits, but it is 'rich in nutrition'.

And is all fish meal fish? Tiny fish bones are also included.

There are also dried shrimps, and a lot of ungraded trash fish, and even some fish intestines. Anyway, it is washed and dried, and then simply pickled, and then dried, and the smell is gone. Then it was smashed and mixed together, and the ghost couldn't tell who was who.

Zhu Ping'an, like the thousands of food processing factories in China at this time, suffered an unprecedented sanitation inspection in the following half month. Not only the quality of the food in the factory has been repeatedly inspected, but even the hygiene of the details of the factory has been repeatedly inspected.

Zhu Ping'an was very helpless, although he dared to swear to God that he was not shoddy, but this time the inspection of the Quality Supervision Bureau and the Health Bureau was too strict. The emperor's will cannot be violated. In today's China, everyone knows that national security and other departments are all over the place, who dares not to do anything?

I don't know how many people cursed deeply at that damn culprit at this moment.

In particular, the owners of those food processing factories who were shaved off their supply and demand qualifications by the logistics department like a monkey hated the nameless person, the person they had never heard of a name a month ago. If the culprit hadn't been beheaded by the emperor's order, he would have been crushed to ashes by these hopeless factory owners.
