Chapter 154 Fast Food
In a temporary camping site on the banks of the Han River outside Mianzhou Prefecture, Yuwen Wen looked at a bowl of instant rice in front of him and was dazed. He had eaten this thing for several months, but now he has no appetite when he sees it. Not only that, he is also faintly www..lā
The logistics of marching and fighting are the key, and how to prepare food that can be eaten as soon as possible is also the key. The so-called "fast food" has become something that Yu Wen Wen wants to "invent".
There are no plastic bags or cans these days, so don’t think about “vacuum-packaged” instant foods. As for instant noodles, you can think about them, but they are too fuel-consuming.
It is OK to use instant noodles to make instant food, but the scale is not large. Even Huangzhou ()/>
Therefore, Yuwen Wen made meat floss based on "advanced experience" and meat products such as ham, sausage, etc. that are relatively easy to store, but this thing is too expensive and cannot be used as a staple food, such as millet, wheat, and rice.
The orthodox six-year-old pre-steamed self-heating fast rice, each grain of rice is steamed and cooked at high temperature and then dried and stored. Pour a cup of hot water before eating, soaking it, saving time and effort, and filling your stomach.
The hot water uses a "high-tech" rapid heating method: a self-heating bowl made of quicklime plus water heat release principle. The emergence of this magical tool has solved a major problem in logistics supply?
The genius believes it!
Yuwen Wen looked at the instant rice he had soaked, and he couldn't get rid of chopsticks for a long time. The idea was good, and it would be fine for several days to eat, but it was a problem for several months to eat it: the smell was the same as chewing wax.
The taste was poor, so he could only rely on seasonings to assist in eating. He took out a small bag of meat floss from the side and poured some into a bowl. He then poured out half a salted egg from the bamboo tube, and then started to brew "appetite".
Even if there are pickled vegetables, salted fish, salted eggs and other foods, the food still tastes like chewing wax when you eat it. If you are unlucky, you will still bloat if you are in your stomach.
Based on his usual "scientific attitude", Yuwen Wen invented this thing and tried it on a small scale. The response was pretty good at that time, but the consumption cycle was too short. Now, after eating for several months, my stomach began to feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, this time it was eaten on a small scale. People who were feeling uncomfortable in their stomachs did not affect the entire army's battle. Yuwen Wen, who has always led the way, was suspected of being "poisoned" by eating fast rice, and his stomach has been "muting" for several days.
Zhang Yu, who was beside him, asked, "Master Lang, this thing is really hard to swallow. Why not change the bowl of rice?"
Change? You have to walk the path you choose even if you kneel down!
Yuwen Wen lamented in his heart, waved his hands with a bitter smile, and ate this bowl of instant rice with a tough bullet. Since he asked others to eat it, he had to be a role model himself.
The power of role models is endless. In order to promote various fast foods in the army, Yu Wenwen has already made every effort.
The war is cruel. An army was surrounded, and it was dangerous to cut off water and food. It was also dangerous to cut off firewood. Without firewood, there was no firewood to make a fire and cook. The soldiers could not eat raw with rice, so self-heating fast food is really a magical tool.
But now it seems that fast rice has exceeded the technical capabilities, and Yuwen Wen’s plan to improve logistics is far behind.
After finally finishing the meal, Yuwen Wen forced his nausea to resist his vomiting and walked out of the camp. In front of him, there was an endless camp. The army returning from Guanzhong set up camp here, and the people who moved from Guanzhong to Shannan to eat also lived here temporarily.
Their destination was divided into two places after leaving Hankou. Most of the Hulin Army and the Mansion Army took a boat and went downstream back to Huangzhou. A small number followed Yuwen Wen to Anlu on the riverside, while the people landed on the south bank of the Yangtze River and settled in Xiakou, Ezhou Prefecture.
In the Guanzhong War, the harvest will inevitably be affected. Guangtong Cang, which hoarded a lot of food and grass, was burned by Yuwen Wen. He could not support so many troops and people with the stored grain in Taicang in Chang'an City, so some people had to be diverted to Shannan to eat.
This is also a good opportunity to fill the population of Shannan prefectures, especially Ezhou in Jiangnan. After the war, the population was sparse and needed people to settle down and cultivate farmland to support the army.
The first batch of 4,000 households followed Yuwen Wen to Shannan and stayed in Shangluo for several days. After enough new ships were built, they went south along the Danshui River, and then entered the Han River and continued southward through Xiangyang.
Staying in Zengshan for several days, waiting for Ezhou Xiakou to prepare before setting off. Yu Wenwen, who organized such a large-scale population transfer for the first time, dared not take it lightly, because if you are not careful, it will lead to a tragedy in the world.
Organization is the most important thing. It is not easy for people with family members to travel long distances, and it is even more difficult for tens of thousands of people to travel long distances. Once care is not done well, people who starve to death, die of illness or exhaustion will appear in large numbers.
More than 30 years ago, the Western Wei captured Jiangling, the capital of Liang State, and moved all the people in the city to Chang'an. It was the cold winter month, and a large number of people died on foot and migrating. When they arrived in Chang'an, they had already gone to six or seven.
Yuwen Wen once heard Zheng Tong tell a story that when the people of Jiangling moved, an official named Liu was also among them. His experience was a microcosm of the suffering people during this long-distance migration.
During the Hou Jing Rebellion, the man's parents, his first wife and eldest son were not in the war. He finally fled to Jiangzhou and encountered internal strife in the Liang Dynasty. The second son died in a wandering arrow and came to Jiangling. He was moved to Chang'an after a few years of stability.
He held his youngest son in his arms and walked among the snow and ice with a large group of people. Because of hunger and cold, the youngest son cried constantly. This was his only remaining flesh and blood, and he hugged him tightly and refused to give up.
Even so, the youngest son still died of freezing in his arms a few days later. The Liu official, whose family was destroyed, finally starved to death on the way. Yuwen Wen would never allow such a tragedy on earth to happen in front of him.
Before leaving Chang'an, he summoned all the generals to formulate an action plan, which accurately determined the daily itinerary and response, the supply of food along the way, and the arrangement of camp sites, and sent cavalry to inform them in advance.
The boundary of Jingzhou in Shannan was ready to mobilize grain and carriages and horses to advance west along the Wuguan Road. The troops in Shangluo City began to log and build ships, so that the large troops could board the ship outside the city and go south along the Danshui River, which would save time and effort.
The people who followed the army to Shannan set out in batches. Each group of soldiers from the Hulin Army were accompanied by carriages. The elderly, weak, sick and disabled had carriages. There were not enough cars, and the supplies were refueled to take a seat. The walking speed was slow. He strictly limited the number of walking only thirty miles a day, and camped next to the inn before sunset.
Military doctors were organized to inspect day and night, and patients were dealt with in a timely manner. Soldiers were responsible for maintaining public order. Any offenders, whether civilians or soldiers, will be severely punished.
It was cold and cold in the spring night, and the people might not have enough clothes to keep the cold, so he mobilized soldiers to donate spare clothes, and the people gave priority to the supply of grain. Yuwen Wen took the lead in eating fast rice and saved food for the soldiers.
After more than a month, a large army of nearly 30,000 people finally arrived at Zengshan, not far from Xiakou.
The tragedy did not happen. As the "pioneers", they made a good start for subsequent migration. The garrisons and officials along the way had already gained experience and were able to effectively receive subsequent migration teams.
The first month of the first month of the army, he had just returned from Xiakou's daxing station and brought a reply from Ezhou Governor Zhou Fashang: Xiakou is ready to accept the people who come to settle down.
"Are you ready? In the first month of the year, don't fool me."
"The general dared not fool the whole family. Since receiving the news, Zhou Envoy and Zheng Changshi organized manpower to build houses and transferred a large amount of grain from neighboring states. The general company has already checked it, and most of the houses have been repaired, and the newly-launched granaries are also filled."
"The houses are built so fast, they are all wooden houses, right? There is also the granary that was built in a hurry. I'm afraid it's unreliable to prevent moisture. I don't plan to use them for a long time, right?"
"That is, after the grain is distributed, the granary will be used for other purposes. Finally, many houses have been randomly inspected. I dare not say that the houses are vast, at least it is OK to shelter from wind and rain."
