Chapter 926 Nutrition, such rare vocabulary.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfei picked up his steamed bun, looked at it from the outside, and then broke it open with both hands to examine the filling. Only then did he realize what was going on.
"These buns have a little filling on the outside. If the outside is mushroom, it's a vegetarian bun. If the outside is meat filling, it's a meat bun. This way, you don't have to worry about confusion."
"Four steamed buns, two meat and two vegetable, complement each other well and have a unique flavor."
"This seems to be part of nutrition. I heard Li Yunlong say that eating meat for a long time is also bad for your health. You need to combine meat and vegetables to get comprehensive nutrition."
Hearing this, Lieutenant Sun was speechless, and even unusually, he started to complain:
"Doing this is just crazy. Meat is so delicious, who would want to eat those unpalatable vegetables? The people here are really ungrateful."
Faced with this problem, Chu Yunfei hadn't really figured it out either. He could only attribute it to the fact that there wasn't enough meat in our base area, so we used vegetables to offset some of the consumption.
Just like their Jin-Sui Army, they would usually add a few canned meats to a big pot of cabbage and radishes to supplement the soldiers' diet.
As for what nutrition science is, it's probably just a bunch of nonsense, something some bored people came up with.
In reality, when it comes to this kind of thing, not to mention China, there are very few industrialized countries on the entire planet that can achieve it.
Although "having enough to eat and wear" is only four words, it represents a country's true industrial strength.
Everyone knows that drinking a large glass of rich soy milk every morning is extremely beneficial to the body; eating large chunks of braised pork can make the body strong and energetic; and drinking boiled water every day can reduce illness.
These are considered basic common sense in the base area, but any one of them would be earth-shattering if taken outside, shocking a large part of the population.
Take boiling water as an example. Outside, only wealthy landlords and rich people had the ability to promote it. Ordinary people would only be advised by doctors to drink more hot water when they were sick. Also, when decocting medicine, the water was boiled repeatedly to effectively expel diseases from the body.
However, this simple thing has never been achieved in China for thousands of years, mainly because the cost is too high.
The main reason for promoting the use of coal-fired stoves and honeycomb briquettes was the widespread adoption of coal-fired power plants in Shanxi Province. The combination of these two methods was crucial for their effectiveness.
At the same time, we also benefited from the fact that we have built roads in various places. High-grade cement and gravel roads have been built between counties, and some relatively smooth roads have also been built between county towns and villages below.
A young, strong man can easily pull 300 pounds on a modified human-powered tricycle and travel 100 kilometers during the day.
In rural areas, many families have two or three sons, and there used to be plenty of able-bodied young men.
To be honest, there weren't many jobs available back then. I could only barely make a living by renting a few dozen acres of land from a landlord with my father. Getting ahead was a pipe dream.
Now it's completely different. Not to mention that the entire base area is full of road construction, water conservancy projects, and house building, which requires a large number of people.
The pay is quite generous; as long as you're willing to work hard, you can provide a comfortable life for your whole family without worrying about food or clothing.
Take the logistics and transportation industry as an example. As long as the whole family grits their teeth and buys a modified tricycle, they can take the local specialties from the mountains to the county town to sell during the day, stay overnight, and then bring back all sorts of good things from the county town to sell at a higher price in the nearby villages.
Both sons can go out together, one riding a tricycle and the other a bicycle, and often they can make a round trip in a day.
The rest of the family is responsible for collecting mountain products from the locals and selling industrial goods in other places. It is estimated that in a few years, the whole family will live a wealthy life, and it is even possible that a transportation family will be born.
With the roads built and industry developed, all of this became possible.
Such opportunities abound in our current base areas, as well as in the counties we have just recaptured. Many long-time residents of these base areas spontaneously bring their own vehicles to participate in the transportation of supplies and reap huge benefits from it.
These people, like capillaries, penetrated into every aspect of the base area, constantly strengthening the industrial foundation of China.
Of course, this change was happening slowly, and in the heart of our base, nutrition had long been a very important discipline, and all sectors of the industrial zone attached great importance to it.
The main reason is that when the industrial park was first established, all the technicians and workers worked day and night.
In order to produce more bullets and shells, many people worked continuously for fourteen or fifteen hours. Even if it was a two-shift system, people who were off duty would stay to help, since two people working together is always faster than one.
It can be said that everyone was in the factory except for eating and sleeping. It was really tough back then. The soldiers were short of bullets, and producing one more bullet meant eliminating one more enemy.
At that time, the most important task for Director Ren and Political Commissar Qin every night was to inspect the entire factory and send the workers and technicians who were not on duty back to their dormitories to sleep.
As a result, many technicians and workers have been overworked and have developed various health problems.
As our conditions improved significantly, especially with the establishment of numerous farms that could stably provide meat and eggs, priority was given to supplying them to frontline technicians and workers in the factories, with management personnel receiving the last priority.
At that time, the leaders of the industrial zone had a simple idea: to let the workers eat more meat so that they would have the strength to produce more weapons and ammunition.
Especially after a large number of wild animals appeared near the base area, the leaders wished they could make the workers eat meat every day, at every meal.
Kong Hao discovered this situation by chance, which stopped this somewhat extreme behavior.
Then, taking advantage of the opportunity, they proposed a nutritional science that emphasizes a balanced diet with a mix of meat and vegetables, and even established a special research department under the umbrella of military food research and development.
After a period of forced implementation, the results were indeed much better than just eating meat. Many workers reported that they felt much better physically than before.
Gradually, this concept of nutrition was promoted in the base area, and the reason why our military compressed biscuits are delicious and nutritious is also due to this.
According to rumors, the base area is researching something called self-heating rations. As long as the soldiers have some water during the march, they can have a hot and delicious meal.
However, this thing seems to be in the trial stage, and I heard that the cost is relatively high, so it has not been widely promoted yet.
These are just a microcosm of the strength of our base. Although they may not seem to directly help in a battle, in the long run, they will continuously strengthen the foundation of our combat troops.
