Chapter 1016: Luncheon Meat and Meat Supply



After speaking, he suddenly coughed violently, until his eyes were full of tears, and his face was red. The update is so fast.

An entourage walked quickly to Ma Shiying's side, stretched out his hand and patted his vest gently, and asked in a low voice: "Elder Ge has been '' state affairs recently, can you go and ask the imperial doctor from the Tai Hospital to come and open a prescription?" ”

Ma Shiying finally stopped coughing and shook his head: "People are old, and their qi and blood are deficient, so don't worry anymore." I opened the canned loquat sent from Yangzhou Town, and I also brewed a cup of condensed milk. Send a copy to Yu Experience. ”

"Elder Ge, it's ready."

The clerk beckoned outside, and immediately two 'waiters' and 'women' came over with a large black lacquer plate, which were placed on Yu Xiang and Ma Shiying's tables.

It was two cans of canned food and a cup of steaming cow's milk'.

The cow's 'milk' was served in a fine Wanli Qing'hua bowl, and next to it was a small dish with a bunch of red ponds, a silver spoon, and a silver tong.

In addition, there is a can opener and silver knives and forks in the wooden plate.

Yu Xiang secretly praised in his heart: This Ma Shiying is really exquisite, this life is good.

He picked up the clamp and put it in the red pond and saw the cow's milk', then picked up the cup and stirred it slowly with a spoon, looking leisurely.

Next to it, the 'waiter' and 'woman' opened the can.

The first pot is loquat, and the weather is already hot, but it is the season when the green and yellow are not harvested, and the pipa will not mature until June and July. At this moment, he could see the fruit, which made Yu Xiang 'spirit' feel great, and he used a fork to fork it and put it in his mouth, only to feel full of relish, and his whole body was full of Tai.

When the 'waiter' and 'woman' opened the second can of food, Yu Xiang snorted and almost spit out the loquat 'meat' in his mouth: lunch 'meat'!

It didn't take long for the lunch 'meat' to appear, and at the beginning, Xiao Yu was simply fanatical about this salty and sweet taste

The lunch 'meat' is so convenient to eat, it can be eaten cold, and it can be eaten with steamed buns. You can bleach soup, you can stir-fry, you can braise it, you can boil porridge, and there is no problem of mismatch when it is 'mixed' with any dish.

Xiao Yu was a chef and immediately realized the convenience of this kind of food. In addition, after he was stationed in Nanjing, he was busy with affairs, and he socialized with people in the restaurant every day, and he ate a lot of big fish and big 'meat', but he felt that this kind of slightly light taste such as health preservation.

Therefore, in the morning, I made noodles with lunch 'meat', and in the evening, I fried two slices to cool off.

Lunch 'meat' has a special 'sex', when you first eat it, you love this thing to death, but as long as you eat it for half a month, you will be cruel to the bone, thinking that this thing was invented to torture people. (Nice.)

The only value of its existence is to keep you starving to death, and to have a lot of 'energy' all day long, as long as you keep stuffing it into your stomach.

Seeing Ma Shiying cut the lunch 'meat' into small pieces with a 'fine' steel knife, then forked a piece of the head with a silver fork and put it in his mouth, and finally drank a sip of freshly brewed cow's 'milk', Xiao Yu felt as if someone had been stuffed into his throat A handful of cow 'hair', and 'Mao' couldn't spit it out.

Ma Shiying ate a small piece of lunch 'meat' and drank a sip of hot cow's milk, a trace of ruddy appeared on his pale face, as if he was very comfortable.

He glanced at Xiao Yu strangely and sighed: "Yu experience, this kind of 'meat' and 'milk' produced in your Yangzhou Town is very good, it is simply a health holy product." ”

Lunch 'meat' is a dregs hated by everyone in the Ningxiang Army, and everyone can not eat it, unless they have to. Because it is a munition, it is not circulated in the market.

However, a small amount was still sent as gifts to various ministers and doctors in Nanjing.

As soon as these industrial fast foods arrived in Nanjing, they immediately caused a sensation in the upper class, which was too delicious and convenient.

The Ming Dynasty ushered in a population explosion time after Hongzhi Zhongxing, with more people and less land, and there was not enough food to eat, let alone 'meat'. 'Meat' food comes from livestock and poultry, and large livestock is a means of labor, as for poultry, if you don't feed food, you don't grow 'meat' at all, which is the so-called 'meat' grain ratio

As a result, the population explosion since the middle of the Ming Dynasty was based on a sharp decline in the physical quality of the population.

There is not enough 'meat' to eat, and when you walk out into the street, your eyes are full of short people of 1.50 meters, and they all look very thin. Unlike Shengtang and Northern Song Dynasty Tokyo, they are all three tall and fat people. According to the archaeological excavations of later generations, one of the concubines of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, reached an astonishing size of 1.90 meters.

Because of this, on the battlefield, the Ming army was not at all comparable to the Manchurian Eight Banners Army, which had been eating 'meat' for a long time, in terms of the quality of its soldiers. Compared with the rough Jianzhou army, many Ming soldiers were simply children, and many Ming soldiers suffered from severe night blindness.

If the agrarian people wanted to defeat the nomads and fishing and hunting peoples in the north, they could only rely on equipment and a high degree of organization, but unfortunately the Ming army did not have either of them.

Anyway, two words can summarize the life of ordinary people in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, "lack of 'meat'." "Even if you are a middle-class family, you can eat 'meat' three or four times a month, which is considered good. If you have a bad life, you have to encounter the 'spring' planting and autumn harvest, when you have to make great efforts, you can see the meat.

Therefore, everyone is very surprised by the 'meat' diet, even in the army.

For example, the Ningxiang Army, a unit that can see 'meat' every day, is simply a paradise for many soldiers.

In fact, in order to solve the problem of soldiers eating 'meat', Sun Yuan has also racked his brains for more than ten years. In addition to the fact that the sailor's ocean-going fishing vessels could provide a steady stream of seafood, he also tried to engage in intensive farming. Unfortunately, the modern farming industry is based on 'medicine' and antibiotics, without 'medicine', you can only watch the poultry and livestock you raise fall down because of disease.

After all, with so many poultry and livestock raised in a concentrated manner, it is all too easy to get sick.

After paying a lot of price, Sun Yuan profoundly realized that there was no way to implement the road of concentrated breeding in the Ming Dynasty. For example, if you want to 'get' a 'chicken' farm, first you have to press a few big fans to dissipate heat from the 'chicken' on a hot day, which he really can't figure out, let alone 'medicine' such as oxytetracycline.

After thinking about it for a long time, he realized that this path would not work. The only feasible way is for the company's farmers, let the people disperse the breeding, and then he will buy it in a unified manner. In this way, even the occasional plague will not spread on a large scale.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a tradition of raising pigs in the south of the Yangtze River, but because of the lack of grain, the pigs' feed was pigweed, bran and the like

。 These things are low in calories, and pigs don't grow 'meat' at all after eating them. Many farmers' pigs have to be raised for two or three years before they can be stopped, and they are as thin as old men.

Food, Sun Yuan is not lacking. He is now rich, and the sailor makes great profits from his annual sea trade. If you don't have food, you have to buy it from Luzon and Vietnam, where the water and soil climate are excellent, and rice is cropped three times a year, and the price is extremely cheap.

The famine in the last years of the Ming Dynasty actually only occurred in the north of the Yangtze River, and the south was still very rich.

After having a large amount of food, there are too many small fish and shrimp caught in the sea, and everyone does not like to eat them. The so-'sex' is ground into powder and made into feed.

Therefore, Sun Yuan mobilized his military households to disperse pig breeding in the form of peasant households, and Yangzhou Town provided them with feed. After the pigs are slaughtered, they will be purchased in cash after deducting the cost of feed from the town.

Of course, if people who are not military households want to join, Yangzhou Town will not refuse.

In this way, when a pig is slaughtered, in addition to deducting the cost of feed, the people of Junhuang can get the benefit of one to two dollars of silver. Although it is not much, the good thing is that the pigs are slaughtered quickly! You can raise 'fattening' in half a year, and you can raise two in a year. This speed of pig raising in ancient times was simply a miracle.

But Sun Yuan is still not satisfied, you must know that in modern society, March 'fertilizer', 100 days 'fertilizer' is the industry standard, and if it drags on, farmers will lose money. The problem is that with today's science and technology, it can't be done!

With the fodder of large grains, the dispersed breeding has achieved great results as soon as it is popularized, and the problem of eating 'meat' for the 20,000 troops has finally been solved. With more people, Sun Yuan will have no way. Because of this, the scale of the Ningxiang Army has never been too large.

This kind of pig 'meat' that is slaughtered in half a year tastes really not very good, the 'fat' and 'meat' are okay, and the oil and water are enough. When the lean 'meat' is fried in the pot, there is more water than oil, and Sun Yuan doesn't like to eat it.

He prefers the kind of green 'color' ecological pig 'meat' that needs to be raised for a year or two, and relies entirely on eating grass and chaff to save 'meat'.

There is a saying in later generations that the combat effectiveness of the army comes from his food.

After the food and nutrition problems were solved, Sun Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the night blindness in the army was much better. The skinny young soldiers also began to grow muscle 'flesh' and become burly.

The appearance of lunch 'meat' made a big sensation in Nanjing's high society. This stuff is 'blended' with a lot of spices, and it tastes really good

。 Moreover, it is bottled in a glass bottle, and it feels high-class at first glance.

In addition, this thing cannot be found in the market, and in the end it has become a status symbol.

Moreover, because the content of 'meat' in it is really not much, the oil and water of the 'meat' of the farmed pig are less, and the taste is not too greasy, which is suitable for the elderly, but there are some signs of development towards supplements.

As for the 'milk' powder, 'milk' is a holy product that nourishes the body. If you want to 'get' this kind of thing, first you have to have a sturdy 'milk' lady, or a group of sheep and cows/lunch 'meat' with hot cow 'milk', plus a plate of canned fruit, which is the most high-end and high-end.

Speaking of canned fruits, Sun Yuan was mainly to solve the problem of vitamin intake when the troops were in the Northern Expedition in the future. Ancient wars generally took place in late autumn, for the simple reason that after the autumn harvest, troops could easily obtain supplies. Moreover, people die in war, and when people die, if you don't say it well, there will be a plague. Because the weather is cooler and the virus is multiplying at full speed, no matter how many people die on the battlefield, it will not make the military epidemic epidemic.

Of course, a war is always needed from the beginning to the end, and it is easy to drag it out until the middle of winter.

The north is cold and snowy, and the soldiers' food is a big problem. So, Sun Yuan came up with such a thing.

Unexpectedly, canned fruit has also become a health care thing for Nanjing's high society.

The elderly are old and have a weak stomach, and many people can't eat 'meat' at all, and they can't touch raw and cold things. Canned fruit has been steamed in advance, and according to traditional Chinese medicine, the fire has been removed, which is very suitable for the elderly.

The fact that his military rations were sought after by the upper class made Sun Yuan a little unexpected, and it was also funny.

Lunch 'meat' and canned food have been criticized by experts in later generations, and Sun Yuan wanted to vomit when he saw it. Even in the army, when soldiers look at these things, their heads are as big as a bucket, and if they can, they don't touch them.

Now, seeing Ma Shiying using these things to nourish his body, Xiao Yu's face is uncomfortable.

Hearing Ma Ge Lao ask, he replied, "That's right, I just came out of the palace in Xia. Recently, there has been a lack of success, and there is nothing good. When today's son is a simple and thrifty saint, the chief military officer of my family can't bear it, and orders the official to supply some Yangzhou specialties into the palace, and Niangniang also prepared one. Fortunately, Niangniang liked it quite much, so she asked Gonggong Tian to pass on the official to the palace, saying that he was rewarded with a favor. ”
