Moreover, these middle- and high-ranking retired officers and cadres were originally the group with the best resources, because during that period, our country's national defense and security were really too tight.

Twenty years ago, our country was really afraid of others coming over, this is not that Meng Chuan was not confident in that period, this is really a fact.

Because of the technological monopoly of Western countries on our country, our country's high-precision weapons are really outdated, and if war really breaks out, then our country will really fall into it.

You may say, didn't our country have nuclear weapons in the mid-sixties, why are we afraid of others coming to us?

Here Meng Chuan wants to popularize the knowledge that nuclear weapons are deterrent weapons, and they will not be put into war under normal circumstances, even if there is a local war in their own country, they will never use nuclear weapons easily.

After all, once this weapon is used, it will face the life and death of the whole country, so no matter which country, it will not be easily used.

At that time, our air defense and sea defense capabilities were really too weak, and if we really encountered an attack, then we would really be ready for war. Therefore, the leading cadres at that time were also the group with the most experience in combat preparedness, which was far from being comparable to what they are now.

It is said that there is an old man in the family, like a treasure, and these officers who have retired from the army are naturally very precious.

Therefore, the state has a retirement placement for them, ensuring that they will definitely be happy in their old age, without worrying about food, drink, accommodation, and usually having people to play with, and Professor Wang was also asked to go to the military retirement office to guide the people there in nutrition.

In fact, as far as dietitians are concerned, there must be some in the Military Leave Office, but the things that dietitians will know are very sparse and ordinary, compared with young and middle-aged experts like Professor Wang, they are really a heaven and an underground.

This is like the experts and professors of the tertiary hospitals and the little doctors in the township health centers, and the comparison is really not great.

In fact, there is a special canteen for everyone to eat, and of course, this is a fee.

If you don't pay it, it's okay, anyway, the house you are settled in, and your pension is so high, it doesn't matter if you buy some food and cook some food.

However, the old man, because of irregular eating, does not have enough physical strength to buy vegetables every day, and the people who come out of the army are more diligent and thrifty, and they are usually reluctant to eat meat, which causes their nutrition to be more or less unable to keep up.

Therefore, the military retirement office will have a dinner party every week to improve the food for the elderly.

However, this thing is not available in all places, it is estimated that this is the capital, and there will be such good treatment, after all, no matter where the capital is, it is not bad for taxes, and the taxes are high, so the living conditions will naturally be high.

Meng Chuan agreed: "Yes, Professor Wang, when are we going, do I need to prepare anything?" ”

Professor Wang waved his hand, "You don't need to prepare anything, let's just go empty-handed." As for the time, it's also quite tight, and I'm going to make it for everyone to eat in the evening, so let's go now. ”

For an expert like Professor Wang, Director Li of the Military Retirement Office has to pay attention to it, although he is a cadre at the department level, but Professor Wang is a Taishan-level figure in the food category, and his administrative level is not much higher than himself.

In fact, Director Li of the Military Retirement Office is usually not angry, because the cadres of the Military Retirement Office are at least at the deputy division level, and if they are transferred to a local area, they will at least be at the department level.

Besides, there are really too many leaders above the deputy army level in the military retirement office, and they are usually low-minded, otherwise if any retired cadre complains about himself, his future life will be really difficult.

Even the biggest director in the military retirement office is so temperamentless, let alone the people in the departments below, who serve these retired cadres like their own uncle, and usually don't even dare to speak loudly.

So when Meng Chuan came to the Military Retirement Office with Professor Wang this time, he was really surprised by the polite attitude of these people, I'm afraid these people are the most polite people he has ever met.

As soon as Professor Wang came over, he discussed with Director Li, saying that he wanted Meng Chuan to make medicinal food for those retired cadres.

Of course, Director Li has no opinion, for the food issue, if Professor Wang says second, then no one dares to rank first, he said that Meng Chuan's cooking skills are good, then it must be good.

With Director Li's consent, Meng Chuan immediately went into the kitchen and started cooking.

Because the body organs of the elderly have begun to deteriorate, no matter which organ is supplemented, it is not the best, and the best thing is to make up for it comprehensively.

However, the medicinal diet itself is a subtle change, so you don't have to worry too much about which one to make up first, as long as you make it up for a period of time, this is enough.

No matter what organ is supplemented, it is best to use soup to replenish, because if you stew soup, the nutrients of the soup are very sufficient, and the most important thing is that these nutrients are more convenient for the human body to absorb.

But what's the better soup?

Here Meng Chuan recommends white broth, that is, chicken soup, duck soup, fish soup and the like, whether it is to nourish the kidney and liver, or to nourish the spleen and stomach, white broth is the best food.

And the first thing Meng Chuan wants to do is to nourish the spleen and stomach, because in our traditional Chinese medicine, people pay attention to the essence and spirit, and the qi in it is about the temper.

If a person is full of energy, then he will appear more energetic, and more energetic, which means that he will be healthier.

There are many medicinal foods that nourish the spleen and stomach, but Meng Chuan's current cooking skills are not high, so he unlocked one, sea bass spleen soup.

Everyone will feel a little strange when they see the name of this medicinal diet, don't you want to make a medicinal diet to nourish the spleen and stomach, why do you make a spleen-strengthening soup now, stomach?

In fact, this is just that the name of the medicinal diet does not mention the stomach, from the perspective of our traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach are not separated, since food can replenish the spleen, then most of them can replenish the stomach.

Take this sea bass as an example, it is written in the Compendium of Materia Medica, sea bass is 'sweet and light in taste, and suitable for the spleen and stomach.' ’

This is enough to prove that sea bass spleen soup is not only for the spleen, but also for the stomach.

And when making sea bass spleen soup, it's not just about stewing just sea bass.

This must be combined with some other ingredients in order to have a better curative effect, such as with atractylodes, you can achieve the effect of strengthening the spleen and increasing appetite.

If you add some pepper, it can not only warm and appetizing, but also help the tangerine peel remove the fishy smell of sea bass.

And Meng Chuan plans to use atractylodes and tangerine peel to stew fish this time, and make up for everyone's spleen and stomach first.
