"Squad leader, your idea is good, but is there such dry food? It's cheap, it's delicious, it's shelf-stable, and it's nutritious! After telling Lao Yang his thoughts, although Lao Yang wanted to help, Wang Ping put forward too many requirements. Central Road immediately caused a retort from Lao Yang

"I've been a soldier for so long, I've seen the dry food of the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the Japanese, and if you want me to say, the Japanese have the best dry food, with biscuits and canned meat, but it's too expensive, and our Eighth Route Army can't afford it."

"As for the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army, they are richer than us, but the dry food of ordinary soldiers is about the same as ours."

"I also love steamed buns, wowotou, or multigrain cakes that are still hard in stones. As for the better dry food such as canned food and biscuits, only a high-ranking officer can afford it! ”

"Think again, Lao Yang!" Wang Ping did not give up.

"The steamed buns I ate a few days ago were harder than stones, and I couldn't swallow them even with water. What's more, there is no nutrition, and there is no salt taste. It's nothing to eat for a day or two, but if you eat for three or four days, or even longer, the warriors' bodies will not be able to bear it. ”

"You are an old cooking soldier, you should know that people will not be able to bear the body if they don't eat salt for a long time, not to mention that the soldiers have to fight, and the body will be even more unbearable!"

Lao Yang's face suddenly showed a painful expression, he must have thought of something.

"When we crossed the grass in person, many soldiers were swollen and had no physical strength because they had not eaten salt for a long time, and finally fell on the grass!"

Then he immediately reacted: "Squad leader, I understand what you mean!" What you mean is that you must add salt when making dry food in the future! ”

"That's just one of them!" Wang Ping affirmed.

"The wowotou steamed buns we make are too nutritious, and even if we add salt, we only add some salt to the soldiers. And when the steamed buns are cold, they are even harder than stones, and it is very difficult to swallow them. ”

At this time, Wang Ping thought of the compressed biscuits of later generations.

However, as soon as the idea appeared in his mind, Wang Ping himself vetoed it.

Making compressed biscuits requires large-scale baking equipment, and it is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to take them out.

Besides, although compressed biscuits are nutritious, they also have a disadvantage, that is, they are too hard, comparable to stones.

Suddenly, another magic weapon for the victory of the volunteers on the Korean battlefield appeared in Wang Ping's mind, and the frowning brow that was still frowning just now quickly relaxed.

"Definitely doable!" Wang Ping whispered.

"What works? Monitor! Lao Yang immediately asked.

"I thought of a dry food! Lao Yang, you go and prepare the materials, let's experiment, if it is feasible, the dry food I think of is not only nutritious, but more importantly, it is more delicious and easy to swallow than Wowotou steamed buns. What's more, this dry food is very shelf-stable, as long as it is kept dry, it can be stored casually for a year without any problems. ”

"In this way, we can mass produce and store it in the warehouse, and when it comes to combat and emergency operations, we can pick it up and go, and we don't even need to prepare!"

"Is there any such dry food?" Lao Yang asked with a look of disbelief.

But he still carried out the order very quickly, took the money and began to collect several materials that Wang Ping wanted.

Because these materials are the most common crops in the northern countryside, Lao Yang came back with several bags of things in less than half an hour.

"Flour, soybeans, rice, millet...... Several grains are mixed together and fried in a large pot with salt, and after they are fully cooked, they are directly put on a stone mill and pressed into powder.

Soon, a pungent scent came out.

Wang Ping was not polite, grabbed a small handful of powder and fed it to his mouth, and then swallowed it easily with a sip of water.

Lao Yang took a bite of it, and then said with a satisfied face: "Fragrant, really fragrant!" ”

"Squad leader, this thing is much more delicious than the wowotou steamed buns we made, and it's easy to swallow. Even if there is no water, I can eat half a catty of dry food! ”

"Also, these are all fried, and salt is added, and there are many types, which are definitely more nutritious than wowotou steamed buns!"

"Good thing, how did you come up with it!"

Wang Ping didn't answer, but brought a bowl over.

After filling half a bowl of fried noodles, I added some water to it and began to knead it. In less than half a minute, half a bowl of flour turns into a fist-sized dough.

After pinching it into a long strip, Wang Ping tasted it first, and then said to Lao Yang.

"How about you taste it?"

"Good, very good! It's easier to swallow than it was just now! Lao Yang replied with a satisfied expression.

Then he suddenly reacted: "I remember, squad leader, your way of eating ruler is the same as the way Tibetans ate barley noodles before we crossed the grassland, and the barley noodles are also fried and eaten." However, we taste better because there are more raw materials and it tastes more delicious! ”

"This thing is much better than Wowotou steamed buns, and it will definitely be the dry food of our Eighth Route Army."

Wang Ping affirmed: "Yes, this fried noodle dry food is the thought of Tibetan barley noodles, now adding these raw materials is only a preliminary idea, if possible, I also want to add some cooked dehydrated vegetables and cooked dehydrated meat powder to the fried noodles, so that the fried noodles will be more nutritious." ”

In the next few days, in addition to preparing meals for the chief, Wang Ping and Lao Yang stayed in front of the two cauldrons in the cooking class to study fried noodles.

Because there is no professional dehydration equipment for dehydrated vegetables, they cannot be completely dried, and Wang Ping gave up directly for fear of affecting the shelf life of fried noodles.

However, it is possible to add meat powder or meat grains to the fried noodles.

Using the method of making bacon in Xiangxi, the meat is directly roasted with enough salt without any moisture, and then chopped into minced meat and mixed in the fried noodles.

Not only is the taste not worse than simple fried noodles, but it is also much better.

What's more, because the fried noodles are filled with meat and salt, even if you eat them for a long time, your physical fitness will not decrease!

In the war room of the headquarters, Wang Ping and Lao Yang stood in front of the chief with the samples of dry food that had been prepared, anxiously and nervously waiting for the results.

It was not to Wang Ping's surprise, and after eating, the deputy commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of staff both showed very satisfied expressions on their faces.

"Yes, the taste is very good, and it is very fragrant, and more importantly, it is easier to swallow than hard steamed buns!" The deputy commander-in-chief made a judgment.

Then he stared at Wang Ping with a satisfied face and said, "Okay, Wang Ping, I didn't expect you to have this hand, and you can make meritorious contributions as a cooking squad leader." ”

The deputy chief of staff next to him was also very happy, but he did not lose his mind, and asked very seriously: "Can this dry food be produced on a large scale, how long can it be stored, and what is the cost?" ”

"The cost is very low, ordinary fried noodles are about the same as our previous Wowotou steamed buns, the cost of fried noodles with meat is slightly higher, and the only extra thing is a little labor, but I don't think it's a problem, we can mobilize the people in the base area to help us make it in our free time!"

"As for the storage time, if you keep it dry, it will take at least a year. This means that we can store it in advance and take it out when we need it! ”

The smile on the deputy chief of staff's face became even stronger, and he stared at the deputy commander-in-chief and said: "Boss, I think this kind of fried noodles can completely replace all the current dry food of the Eighth Route Army and become the first generation of field dry food of our Eighth Route Army!" ”
