Chapter 141: Military Rations

Mrs. Chiang and the rest of her life parted happily. However, the matter did not end here, and for the rest of the lives of the people who traveled through the future generations, they would not stop without maximizing the publicity impact of this meeting. On the day of Madame Chiang's departure, all the herring Chinese restaurants in the United States put up a recipe. Written on - Madame Chiang's meal recipe. The recipe lists more than a dozen dishes that were served on the table for the rest of his life when he met with Madame Chiang.

In the following three days, these dishes became popular all over the United States! The popularity of the Qingyu Chinese Restaurant has reached a higher level, and outside the Qingyu Chinese Restaurant, people who line up to taste the dishes that the famous Madame Jiang likes to eat are like, and they can be discharged more than 100 meters long every day.

With the birth of this recipe, dishes such as fish-flavored shredded pork have gradually become famous in the United States. Even many Chinese restaurants that originally did not serve corresponding dishes had to add corresponding dishes according to this recipe in order to prosper in business.

However, the business in the hotel can only be regarded as a small business. On this day, when Yu Sheng was thinking about how much business Mrs. Jiang's name had brought to his Chinese restaurant, someone came to visit him again. It was none other than the third president of the American food industry giant Heinz Company, Jack!

Although this Jack belongs to the third generation of wealth, he is by no means sneering. His father, Howard, taught his son well and had a very strict control over his finances. In order to earn pocket money, Jack would hide his identity and enter the Heinz Company every holiday. Even if he was later admitted to Cambridge, England, his tuition and fees were earned by himself.

And because of his long working hours, he has done different jobs in almost all departments of the Heinz Company. He has an excellent understanding of the operation of each department of the Heinz Corporation. So, when Jack graduated from Cambridge and was sent to Australia by his father Howard to form the Australian Heinz Company, Jack was already in the chest. Soon opened up the situation. The Australian Heinz Company, which he founded, is still the largest food processing company in Australia in later generations!

Jack became famous in the world. Howard's godson recipe was emulated by many wealthy people in later generations. Therefore, in later generations, there will be various romance novels of Prince Hall and Cinderella who conceal their identities, as well as various domineering presidents.

In 1941, Howard died and Jack became the new president of the Heinz Company. A year after his succession, World War II broke out! When many American companies were making war money, Jack was very keenly aware of the direction of people's hearts. Therefore, not only did he repeatedly provide free food to American troops and residents, but he also went to Britain to distribute food to refugees. Whether it was for show or not, Jack's actions have won praise from the European and American worlds. Relationship with governments, good honey blending oil!

In this case, governments, including the United States, are the first to think of the Heinz Company when purchasing military food.

As the head of the food industry giant, Jack naturally pays attention to the news of the domestic food industry. Ever since the opening of the Blue Fish Chinese Restaurant, Jack has noticed something different about the restaurant. It's just that most of the Chinese food is ready-to-eat and does not overlap with Heinz's products, so there is no competition.

It wasn't until Mrs. Jiang visited the Qingyu Chinese Restaurant that a recipe came out that Jack discovered one of the dishes with great potential in this recipe - dried seaweed!

It stands to reason that there is no way to divide this dried seaweed into specific cuisines. Residents along the coast of China will pick seaweed and some edible sea vegetables, go home to dry, and dry them into dried vegetables, which are used as raw materials for soup or side dishes during meals on weekdays.

Because the seafood itself is delicious, it is no problem to eat it dry. The original monosodium glutamate was extracted from kelp. In the Chinese food industry, there was once a legend that the ancients became imperial chefs with the umami of kelp.

After the rest of his life came to the United States, he spent his days researching what dishes were suitable for the fast food culture of fast food restaurants. After thinking about it, I thought of dried seaweed. Not only did we hire someone to make a special machine, but we also hired a lawyer to apply for a patent for the production of dried seaweed. It's just that there are not many people who like it for a while, and it is not widely spread, so when Mrs. Jiang came, it was served as an after-dinner snack for the rest of his life.

As a result, dried seaweed became famous in the United States as one of the dishes in Madame Chiang's recipe.

Jack is interested in dried seaweed because it is a food that is very much in line with the characteristics of Heinz products. Most of Heinz's products are fast and delicious, so in later generations, there will be many delicious instant products such as tomato sauce, baked beans, canned green beans, vinegar pickles, and mustard powder.

Moreover, Jack keenly discovered that dried seaweed, a food that is not large in weight and volume, is a sharp weapon to make up for the shortcomings of the US military's military food.

Dried seaweed made from seaweed is rich in vitamins and minerals. It contains a wide variety of vitamins, and it contains about the same amount of protein as soybeans and six times as much as rice. Vitamin A is about sixty-seven times that of cow's milk; Riboflavin is nine times more than shiitake; Vitamin C is seventy times that of cabbage. It also contains trace elements such as choline, carotene, thiamine, niacin, iodine, etc.

And these trace elements and vitamins are exactly what the rations of the American army during World War II are the most lacking in calories as the main criterion!

In this world war, the American army distributed only five types of rations to soldiers. Of these, only the A rations were fresh, refrigerated, frozen food intended for supply to those units that were preparing field kitchens or were being transferred from stationary facilities.

Whereas, the food of the B ration is mainly canned, pickled or pre-packaged, and does not require the use of refrigeration equipment. C Rations are distributed individually, pre-cooked and canned. All of them are canned food. D rations are just thick chocolate and are used in various emergencies.

The main recipients of the K rations were the mobile units of the US army, including paratroopers and tank crews. And the ration supply of the US army, K rations are the best. Not only is it nutritionally balanced but also delicious, including three lunch boxes. However, due to the lack of heat, the supply was only for a short time before it was stopped.

Among the five types of rations, the three most commonly used BCDs are all about calories. Not to mention the taste, such rations are okay for a short time, but if they are supplied for a long time, the soldier's body will be damaged to a certain extent, reducing the combat effectiveness. And this war, obviously, is not going to end in a short time.

However, fruits and vegetables supplemented with trace elements and vitamins are too large and not easy to carry. Therefore, a ration that is easy to carry, tastes good, is inexpensive, and can be quickly replenished with vitamins and trace elements.

And the flaky dried seaweed that Yu Sheng has applied for a relevant patent can meet almost all the requirements!
