Calais Village has a population of more than 400 people, dozens of low houses built of logs are scattered in the village, Ouyang Yu and his party were sent out in the morning, and they were all riding horses, but when they arrived at Calais Village, it was already afternoon.

The village is surrounded by a large wheat field, the wheat has matured at this time, and all the men, women and children in the village are working hard in the farmland, but Ouyang Yu looked carefully, there are less than a hundred young and strong laborers, it seems that there are many young people in Calais Village who have been conscripted into the army and gone to the battlefield, leaving a family waiting at home, maybe this is goodbye.

Ouyang Yu and his party were all riding tall horses, wearing military uniforms and guns, and they had already been seen by the villagers from a distance, and when they walked near the farmland, a little old man hurriedly walked over, knelt down on his knees and said loudly: "I've seen Lord Zolf, I've seen all of you." ”

Zolf rode on the horse with a proud face, and did not look at the old man, as if he would stain his eyes if he looked too much, "Immediately call all the untouchables to gather to meet the new lord Lord Ouyang!"

"Yes, I'm going to call everyone over. ”

"Untouchables?" from the New China Republic where everyone is equal, Ouyang Yu heard this title very harsh and quite disliked.

But Zolf was accustomed to laughing and said: "They are all serfs who are allowed to have private property but cannot leave the land casually, and their status is a little higher than that of slaves, of course they are untouchables, my lord, I heard that you are from a commoner's background, you need to adapt to your current status as soon as possible, otherwise you will be laughed at by other nobles." ”

Ouyang Yu didn't take Zolf's words to heart at all and didn't plan to listen to them, she had a set of moral standards in her heart.

The old man soon came to Ouyang Yu with a large number of people, and Zolf pointed at her and said loudly: "This is the new lord Lord Ouyang, why don't you hurry up and see you!"

"I've seen Lord Ouyang!" ×N.

More than 400 people shouted sparsely, and the perfunctory meaning could be clearly heard from the shouting, and Zolf was immediately furious and ready to go crazy but was stopped by Ouyang Yu.

"Zolf put down your whip. ”

"Yes. No matter what Zorf had in mind, in front of so many people, he didn't dare not disobey Ouyang Yu's orders.

Ouyang Yu turned over and dismounted and walked in front of the old man, regardless of the dirt on the old man's body, he stretched out his hands to help him up, and at the same time shouted to the hundreds of villagers: "You all get up!"

The old man was shocked, he didn't know what to do, he was helped up by Ouyang Yu like a wooden man, and the villagers behind him also seemed to have seen ghosts, all staring at Ouyang Yu stupidly, and stood up under Ouyang Yu's order.

Ouyang Yu let go of the old man, took a step back, and asked with a pleasant face, "Old man, what's your name." ”

The old man was flattered and hurriedly replied, "My name is Luf, old man, and I am the head of the village of Calais. ”

"Village Chief Luffy, you let everyone go to work first, it's harvest season, it's good for you to stay with me, but you can't delay the harvest because of me. ”

"Oh, good, good. ”

The village chief, Luffy, answered dumbly, and then stiffened his body and let the villagers disperse.

"Come with me and tell me about the village. Ouyang Yu handed over the village chief Lu Fu to his side and walked towards the village.

Through the introduction of the village chief Lu Fu, Ouyang Yu roughly understood the current situation in Calais Village, the villagers need to hand over seventy percent of the grain planted every year, and the remaining thirty percent of the grain is okay if it is a bumper harvest year, but once the harvest is not enough, it will be hungry, and then you need to venture into the forest to find anything to eat, the forest is full of wild beasts, and every year a few people are bitten to death by wild beasts because of looking for food.

Only a small number of families have poultry and livestock, these poultry are not used for food, the eggs laid by the poultry will be sold in the town of Alsace in exchange for some extra food, the livestock are generally sheep, and the sheared wool is also sold for food, in short, all business activities are to get more food, which shows the lack of food in Calais.

There is no doctor in the village, if someone is sick and can resist, if he can't resist, he will send people to the church in Alsace, ask Father Joseph to see, Father Joseph is the only person in Ouyang Yu's territory who knows a little bit of medical skills, and he will take good care of the patients who are sent to him, but often because of the problems of medicine and funds, some minor illnesses can be cured, but if it is a major illness, Father Joseph can't do anything.

The women of the village were able to do needlework, and the clothes of the villagers were woven from linen, and the girls learned needlework from their mothers from an early age, while the boys learned other things from their fathers.

After walking around the village, Ouyang Yu came to the wheat field that was being harvested, the villagers were all bent down in the field to harvest, adults and children were all tired and sweating, Ouyang Yu asked the village chief Lu Fu about the villagers' farming methods, and couldn't help but shake his head after listening, it was too primitive, no wonder the yield of wheat was not high.

One acre of land in Calais Village can only produce more than 100 catties of wheat, a total of more than 1,000 acres of wheat fields, the annual output is only less than 200,000 catties of wheat, after handing over seventy percent of the wheat, that is, 140,000 catties of wheat, the remaining 60,000 catties are calculated according to the head, the village of more than 400 people has less than 150 catties of grain per person, 12 months a year, and the ration of each month is only 12 catties.

Ouyang Yu took out a notebook and wrote down the word food in Chinese characters, the small notebook was already full of things written by her, she wrote down the same when she saw it, and what was written in the notebook was the place where the villagers needed to improve their lives and production.

There are no teachers to educate the people in the village of Calais, and the same is true in other villages, there is more than one teacher in the town of Alsace, but the tuition fees of these teachers are quite high, and the low-income commoners and serfs with almost no income can afford it, but the officials and merchants have no problems, they send their children to the teachers to learn cultural knowledge, and it is fundamentally determined that the future development is better than that of the commoners and serfs.

After some investigation, it took several hours, and it was already dark, Ouyang Yu decided to spend the night in Calais Village, and the village chief Lufu invited Ouyang Yu and his party to his house to let his wife and daughter-in-law prepare the best food as much as possible.

"Village Chief Luffy, you don't have to prepare our food, we bring it ourselves, and you don't have to prepare it, I'll invite your family to dinner tonight. ”

Ouyang Yu's personal guards took down a lot of field food from a horse transporting supplies, and Ouyang Yu, who is a foodie, used a lot of merit points on the field food technology tree, and she naturally ordered the best American field food technology tree, which has reached the level of World War II.

The three guards borrowed the kitchen of the village chief Luff's house and began to heat the field food they had taken out, and it didn't take long for the smell of the food to spread throughout the village chief Luff's house.

During World War II, the U.S. Department of the Army subdivided individual rations into 4 types:

A rations: Fresh food, the least common of all military rations, and the most valuable.

B Rations: Canned food, mainly semi-finished products that still need to be processed.

C Rations: Canned food, ready to eat.

D Rations: Concentrated chocolate.

C combat rations were developed from 1938 onwards. The U.S. Army C combat ration is specially designed for use in actual combat conditions without a restaurant, and it is required to be carried by individual soldiers to meet the nutrition of three meals. C combat rations are packed inside 6 small tin cans and an accessory pack, three of which are meat and are called M ingredients. The other three tin cans are bread and are called ingredient B. Six cans make up a day's ration. For the most part, the U.S. Army's C combat rations were cold meals. However, it can also be served warm. There are several recipes for M ingredients: there are meat and legumes, meat pieces and vegetables, meat and macaroni, bacon, eggs and potatoes, meat and noodles, pork and rice, sausages and beans, pork and beans, bacon and lima beans, chicken and vegetables. These things are cooked and divided into tin cans, packed in wooden boxes or cardboard boxes and transported to the front.

The K ration was first adopted by the U.S. Army in 1942, and the first units to use the K ration were paratroopers. Early K rations were wrapped in brown cardboard boxes. Later, it developed into a colored carton, with brown for breakfast, green for dinner, and blue for dinner. This color distinction made it easy for the soldiers to choose the type of food they needed. K Combat Rations Lunch Box containing canned cheese, biscuits, candy, chewing gum, powdered beverages, granulated sugar, salt tablets, cigarettes, matches, canning knives and wooden spoons. K Combat Rations Dinner Box with Canned Meat, Biscuits, Soup, Candy, Chewing Gum, Instant Ground Coffee, Granulated Sugar, Cigarettes, Can Knife, Toilet Paper and Wooden Spoon.

D rations were very famous food in World War II. It has only one ingredient, chocolate candy. Rations are high-calorie high-end foods, so all people like to eat chocolate.

What Ouyang Yu carried on this expedition was C rations, and it was very cheap, and it was ten copies of a silver coin.

One by one, the heated cans were placed on the table, and Zolf and his men were also given a portion, with meat, eggs, and vegetables, as well as dessert after the meal.

Ouyang Yu, who was already a little hungry, picked up a fork and forked a piece of matchbox-sized beef and put it in his mouth, turned his head to see Zorff, who was looking at the field food in a daze, and asked vaguely, "Why don't you eat it?"

Zolf took the can in his hand and asked with a look of disbelief, "My lord, do you usually eat all this?"

Ouyang Yu picked up another piece of potato and threw it into his mouth and replied: "I don't usually eat these, these foods in your hands are all field food, and they are things that soldiers only eat when they are fighting in the field." ”

"My lord, you said that all these delicious foods are military rations for ordinary soldiers?"

Zolf was completely shocked, in front of him was a bag of sweet little white bread, a can of drooling beef stew, a can of fragrant vegetable soup and two eggs, these foods can not be eaten every day even by some low-level nobles, but Ouyang Yu's subordinates can eat every day, in Zorf's concept, Ouyang Yu has more money to burn, and no one in this world will let the big-headed soldiers eat better than the nobles.
