Chapter 748: Fish and Mushrooms

Yang Mingzhi shook his head helplessly: "I know what you mean!" In extraordinary times, there must be a food rationing system in extraordinary times. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Actually, you have already agreed with my idea in your heart, it is best to let ordinary residents eat bread at once, but unfortunately we can't supply it at all! At present, the limited stock of cereals supplies 40,000 people to eat, and they can all be eaten in a short time.

In addition, the culverts store high-quality flour for the army, and here the moldy or sprouted potatoes are supplied to the civilians, and the artificially created inequality will greatly dampen the feelings between the military and the people! ”

"So we have to think of countermeasures!" Yevlov said suddenly.

"Countermeasure? Hunger makes people lose their minds! The best thing to do is to let the civilians eat bread. Yang Mingzhi said: "I know that Salinchin has approved of the common people obtaining the exchange vouchers issued by us through labor, and the limited exchange of bread slices, one hundred grams per person a day. But don't you think that's too little? ”

Because it was fighting with the German army, from the mouths of the prisoners, the Soviet army also received the military rations of the German soldiers.

The staple food of a German soldier who was going to fight a high-intensity battle was 900 grams of black bread every day, in addition to sweet black tea, sauerkraut and canned meat. The German army on the second or third line had a low fighting intensity, and part of the bread in the military rations was replaced with potatoes. Even so, a soldier eats a pound of bread a day.

Logistics determines an army's ability to continue fighting, and the Soviet authorities, at the risk of the peasants starving to death, squeezed food out of their teeth to supply the army, fearing that the army would lose itself without a fight. Fortunately, the Soviets in the deep rear knew what the German army was, and if the country was defeated, the Slavic word "slave" would really be confirmed!

Yang Mingzhi continued: "I know that Comrade Salinchkin will abide by the rules, but he should also take into account the reality! Yergentina, please keep a record of our current situation. Potatoes from the blacksmith village are only enough for the inhabitants of the village for a maximum of ten days, after which they must eat bread or soybeans. In the report, my attitude was also written, and I believed that every adult civilian laborer must eat enough bread to eat 400 grams of bread or equivalent calories of grain a day!

Once the potatoes are depleted, we do this before the next crop. ”

Yerentina affirmed: "I will record this truthfully, and I think that even if such a policy is implemented, we will have a new potato harvest in twenty days at most." However, during this gap, we also have to think about other countermeasures, after all, it is not easy for the flour dropped by the superiors! ”

Yevlov immediately interjected: "Then go fishing!" Just like we did at the end of last year, we will organize people to go to the Dnieper to fry fish! It's better to catch a few more big fish that are almost monsters! After that, even if there are no potatoes to eat, let the civilians eat the fish! Last time we used this method to get through difficult times, how can we not now?! ”

Yang Mingzhi only felt that his eyelids were jumping vigorously, but fortunately, there was no allusion to Maozi not eating minced meat. He still said in a good voice: "My comrade division commander! You know, we're 40,000 people here! The Dnieper, the Pripet, where are there so many fish for us to catch?! Besides, we were fishing like crazy last year, and now I don't believe there are so many fish in the river near us! Even if we fish on a large scale, it is only to enrich the table! ”

In addition to this, Yang Mingzhi had to put forward a more dangerous speculation. That is, there should be German river patrol boats on the Dnieper every day, and these ships have only one task, and that is to search for partisans!

Since the 284th Division made a fuss in the swampy hinterland and blew up the railway bridge in the city of Chenobi, it is inconceivable that the Germans did not raise their vigilance!

"We should try not to provoke the Germans as much as possible, at least not this month. From a military point of view, we must recharge our batteries, arm civilians as much as possible, and train them to be reliable soldiers. New weapons are mass-produced to equip the troops, waiting for next month's big battle! ”

"There's a big war next month?" Yerentina frowned instantly, staring at the man with keen eyes. "You explain this to me."

Yang Mingzhi thought to himself, this time the group was discussing the food issue in this warehouse, why did they start to digress now?

"The big war isn't this month anyway, I was told by myself. Therefore, we must solve the food problem this month, followed by the development and construction of the army! Returning to fishing, Yang Mingzhi is not rejecting Yevlov's idea.

Feeding 40,000 people by fishing alone requires a huge range of activities, and the energy of fish is not much. The only benefit of fishing is still better than nothing, and in addition to fishing, mushroom picking is another means.

Yang Mingzhi remembered what Salinchkin had said a few days ago, and said: "Comrades, after this rain, the mushrooms in the forest are still outcropping. The fish are alive, and we have to catch them ourselves. The best way to do this is to throw a grenade and shake the catfish so that they float upwards on their stomachs, which naturally attracts the German patrol boats! Instead of this, it is better to organize people to go to the forest to pick mushrooms. ”

Yeretina puffed: "Mushroom picking is a necessity, and I have actually given an order to the people who remain in the forest not to return immediately after the rain has stopped. You know, if the rain stops today, a large number of white mushrooms will grow tomorrow. Eating mushroom feasts is a Russian tradition. ”

"I'm afraid Belarusians have the same tradition!" Yang Mingzhi smiled: "They are Russians who claim to be pure blood. ”

During this trip to the granary, Yang Mingzhi basically learned about the current grain stock situation of the troops, the blacksmith village is inhabited by the vast majority of the population of Novgomel, and the granary in Montenegro is also the largest reserve. The situation in the villages of Black Earth and Catfish is no different from here, and the whole Novgomel potatoes are about to be eaten, so what to do next? There is really no other way but to let the common people eat bread too!

Of course, fishing and mushroom picking are also means of filling the stomach.

After the rain, a large number of edible mushrooms will inevitably grow in the forest, and how much they can grow depends on God.

……

Yelenkina eventually took her report to the city party committee to meet Salinchkin, and Yang Mingzhi returned to the division headquarters as usual.

The suggestion to pick mushrooms alerted him, so he discussed the matter with Yevlov.

"You don't have to worry at all, think about last year's autumn rains, we collected a lot of mushrooms that time! But late autumn is too cold, and too few mushrooms grow. It's a different situation now, and for some time to come, we'll be able to collect a lot of them almost every day! "Yevlov is very optimistic about the prospects of mushroom picking, and looking at his excitement, it seems that the future is very good.

In Yang Mingzhi's mind, the scene of a group of "little girls picking mushrooms" has already emerged. Belarus mainly produces the local white mushroom, which is not much different from other edible mushrooms and is high in protein. Protein releases much less energy than starch, and if you eat a lot, you can still meet the normal energy consumption of the human body.

Whether it's mushrooms or fishing, these are all open-source means. At present, food can really be saved.

Looking at the weather conditions, even if it doesn't rain in the next few days, the damp and muddy ground can't end in a day or two, and after this rain, mushrooms will grow wildly for a long time! Mushroom picking is indeed more promising than fishing.

Therefore, Yang Mingzhi simply made a decision and said to Yevlov: "Tomorrow, the people from the chemical laboratory in Catfish Village will not be able to come, and I can't be idle." Just like the villagers, I went into battle in person and went to the forest to pick mushrooms! ”

Naturally, this was strongly supported by Yevlov.
