Chapter 461 Tell the story with facts
He first took out the soy milk powder and told me: "This is soy milk powder. You can drink it by mixing it with hot water. It is made by roasting soybeans and grinding them into powder. They are all in these individual small bags. You can tear them open and make it. Does the sir have hot water?"
A clerk left the tent and went into the house to fetch a kettle of water without even being asked by Lord Mao.
The others saw Shen Zhiqiu take out a stack of plastic basins and a few plastic cups.
They were amazed to see that all these things were in the sleeping bag and were quite complete.
Shen Zhiqiu tore open the plastic and poured the soy milk powder into it. The clerk took the water and rinsed it directly.
Seeing that the water was almost gone, he screwed the plastic lid of the cup back on and shook it a few times: "My lords, have a taste, but drink less."
But everyone's attention was on the plastic cup: "Is this cup leaking?"
"It doesn't leak. See the inside of the lid? It's a circle of soft cushion, the same plastic sheet we studied before. When the lid is tightened, the cushion will block the gap."
A few clerks took some other plastic cups to check: "You know what, this thing is amazing!"
Shen Zhiqiu smiled mysteriously, the magic is yet to come!
"My lords, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'll give you something fresh to eat today."
"Here, this is luncheon meat and braised meat. They are cut into slices. Just tear open the bag and eat."
He handed the luncheon meat and braised meat dumplings to the adults, and then picked up the bag of corn buns, which contained exactly ten corn buns.
He also tore open the plastic bag and handed one to each of the adults: "Here, this corn fritter has a slit in the middle. Just put one or two slices of luncheon meat or meat stew in it and you can eat it."
Mao Junyi and several clerks, some with stewed buns, some with luncheon meat, took a careful bite and said, "Hey, it tastes good, it smells good."
Shen Zhiqiu also laughed: "Luncheon meat is expensive, but braised meat is cheap. There is not much meat in it, it is all vermicelli and starch. Ordinary soldiers can afford it."
There is no need to say more about the rest, as most people can understand it. In fact, ordinary officers and soldiers eat better than soldiers.
"And this one, it's really amazing, it's called a self-heating hot pot."
As he spoke, he tore off the top layer of plastic paper, and everyone could see that inside were also various ingredients packed in vacuum plastic bags.
There were soaked vermicelli, two slices of luncheon meat, four vegetable meatballs, some dried cabbage and radish, and a seasoning packet.
"The box of the self-heating hot pot is double-layered, with another layer underneath. The bag is filled with quicklime. We pour some cold water into it, and the quicklime automatically heats up when it meets water. After covering the lid and waiting for a while, we can enjoy the steaming hot pot."
After these operations, several people were stunned again. It was too magical.
“It tastes good too!”
Shen Zhiqiu quickly stopped him: "Eat less, eat less, there are more powerful ones coming later."
Finally, he solemnly took out a pack of compressed biscuits and looked at Mao Junyi: "Sir, this kind of military rations is named Compressed Biscuits by the student's daughter."
She had to be serious. In order to find the right ratio, Yoyo was such a greedy girl that she only ate these hard biscuits.
You know, the one they made themselves was not as delicious as the one made with milk and eggs in later generations.
Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "When I first learned that General Fu was going to deliver military rations, I suspected that there would be a war, but I can't help much and I don't know much about that side.
But I had read in a book before that there was a shortage of water and food there, so I could only think of a solution in this regard.
This is how we got the food and the tent."
He also said that they came here to escape famine and knew the hardships of war, so they wanted to do more for a stable future, for their future generations, and for the soldiers fighting on the front lines.
I've been thinking about this and that, but there's no good result.
His daughter and wife just gave him a few words of advice, then immediately took action and began to study these new military rations.
My wife is a good cook. My daughter has been studying since she was young and she also understands pharmacology. Food and medicine have the same origin.
My daughter thought about making food that not only had to be easy to preserve, convenient to eat, and filling, but also had to be good for the soldiers' health.
At this point, he took out a piece of paper from his arms that his daughter had sorted out, which listed the nutritional content of the ingredients and the benefits of eating them to the body.
"Sir, take a look. This is the lowest-cost and most nutritious formula that my daughter and daughter-in-law have experimented with countless formulas. The medicinal value of each ingredient is also listed below."
Mao Junyi carefully took the paper, and the first thing he saw was the very delicate hairpin flower small regular script, the characters were clear and round: "Your daughter's handwriting is good."
Shen Zhiqiu was not modest at all: "I have been practicing since I was a child."
This is the truth. He has been practicing for two lifetimes. In his previous life, his daughter had attended various calligraphy classes, Chinese painting classes, and musical instrument classes since she was a child. The key point is that it was he and Jingshu who wanted to enroll his child in classes, and the child had no choice but to go.
The main reason is that his daughter is too smart and has no pressure in studying. Those extracurricular classes are all taken by his daughter herself.
According to the memory of my previous life, my daughter started practicing calligraphy when she was three and a half years old.
However, when Mr. Mao started to read the content above, he was no longer in the mood to praise the good writing.
Because he himself didn't know that these ordinary and inconspicuous grains, even corn and soybeans, have so many benefits.
Looking at the small piece of biscuit in Shen Zhiqiu's hand, he was even more incredulous. He moved his throat and asked, "Can I have a taste?"
He no longer calls himself "this official".
"sure,"
Shen Zhiqiu even thought: "I brought it here for you to taste. If you don't eat it yourself, how can you understand the hardship my daughter has to endure eating this every day?"
The compressed biscuits are very hard, but they can be broken apart if you break them hard.
"My Lord, you can eat, but you can only eat one piece to try. You just ate other food. If you eat more compressed biscuits, you will get bloated."
Obviously, several people present did not believe this: "Just such a small piece, can it be broken?"
“Yes, compressed biscuits are heavy dry food, very good at satisfying hunger. Even though they are just a small piece, they can keep a person from feeling hungry for a whole day. If you eat too much, your stomach will definitely be damaged.
If you don’t believe me, go and do an experiment. Boil this piece in a pot and it will turn into a big bowl of paste.”
These words shocked Lord Mao so much that he almost dropped the biscuit in his hand.
The other clerks were also in disbelief, saying, "It's just a palm-sized piece, how much does it weigh? Only about 30 or 40 grams!"
Their reaction was understandable. Shen Zhiqiu even wanted to say, "If I hadn't traveled through time, I wouldn't believe it either."
But he spoke with facts: "The most honest thing in the world is the stomach. Whether the stomach is hungry or not depends on how much food we eat. Generally, we eat 1.5 to 3 kilograms of food rations a day.
But what do they eat? Corn or grains.
Although this compressed dry food contains a lot of grains, it also contains fine flour, oil, sugar, and salt. Although it only weighs two or three taels,
It is also a lot of compressed flour, equivalent to the ingredients of six dry food rations. It is not surprising that it can last a whole day."
