Meng Chuan picked up a pack of chicken curry and pinched it, and asked, "Why is the meat packaged in plastic, is the packaging of tin cans not good, although the cost of tin cans will be a little higher, but it is not much higher." ”

In fact, our country has not stopped under the development of flexible packaging for military rations, although plastic flexible packaging is more economical and lighter, but our country has not been able to overcome a series of shortcomings of flexible packaging.

As far as food is concerned, China, which has been ranked among the top in the world, has not been able to overcome the shortcomings of flexible packaging, and it is naturally impossible for Pakistan to overcome.

Director Lamai didn't feel ashamed, and generously said the reason, "It's because iron products are a bit expensive, so we didn't use canned iron for this chicken curry, but recently the government has been allocating money to us, so we can invite you to come and give us guidance." ”

The government of Pakistan is a military government, and the economic conditions have not been very good, but because of the help of our country, we have joined the Belt and Road Initiative, and bilateral trade has become more and more frequent, which has gradually improved. It has to be said that a large part of Pakistan's economic conditions are caused by our country.

But for a person like Pakistan who is willing to donate even war food to our country, this brother is definitely worth helping.

The year before last, China's Hubei Province suffered heavy rainfall, a large amount of farmland was flooded, houses collapsed, and serious losses were suffered.

To be honest, everyone knows what food means to a country, especially grain reserves, which are really related to the stability of the country.

But in such a country where there are still 90 million people below the poverty line and worry about food all day long, they are willing to take the initiative to take out grain reserves to support our country.

And this is not a special case, going back to the past, there are many, many more, as long as our country is affected by a disaster, their country will take the initiative to help, and it is really possible to donate.

Either our country is willing to help such a country, people are affectionate, not white-eyed wolves, which is worth helping.

After hearing the words of Director Lamai, Meng Chuan suggested, "Whether it is in terms of storage, transportation, and consumption, iron cans are much better than flexible packaging. Even in China, the strategy set by the Military Food Research Institute is to vigorously develop hard packaging and develop flexible packaging. ”

How could Director Lamai not know these things, "Major Meng Chuan, you are right, as the government's allocation of money increases, we can indeed move closer to hard-packaged food, so we need your help even more." ”

Meng Chuan nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, it's no problem, we're here to do this." ”

At this time, Meng Chuan tore open a bag of fried rice and pinched it into his mouth, oh, by the way, we call it fried rice, they call it pilaf, and this package has no tableware, which means that even if it is on the battlefield, this rice has to be eaten with your hands.

Sanitation is unhygienic, it's obvious.

However, they have been eating like this all along, and they have not found any discomfort, if they are forced to eat with spoons or other utensils, firstly, they are not used to it, and secondly, it has also increased a lot of expenses, so Meng Chuan did not suggest that they increase the tableware.

As soon as the rice grains entered his mouth, Meng Chuan couldn't feel any other taste except for a salty taste, and the rice grains were still a little hard, and the taste was really average.

Our country has a self-heating soy sauce fried rice, which is obviously rice, but it really feels like one is in the sky and the other is underground, and the difference is too obvious.

Meng Chuan handed the pilaf to the others, "Come, you can taste it." ”

Then he turned his head to look at the director of Lamai, "There is no self-heating bag, if there are no cooking conditions in the field, then you have to eat cold?" ”

"That's right, but we have compressed dry food in our area, and they usually eat that." ”

Compressed dry food?

Meng Chuan looked around and didn't see it, "Where is the compressed dry food?" ”

Director Lamai hurriedly asked a researcher to go over and fetch it, "I'm sorry, this was our negligence, because I didn't bring it because I didn't think there was any future for me to study in compressed dry food." ”

Compressed dry food is what we usually call compressed biscuits, what the director of Lamai is right, in fact, compressed dry food does not have any research value, because that is the simplest food, just like steamed bread, even if you can make steamed bread into flower roll buns, chocolate buns, so what.

In the final analysis, it's not a steamed bun, but it just has a little more flavor than a white bread, and in this kind of economic conditions, there is no need to develop so many flavors.

Soon the Pakistani researcher brought over a large iron box, and when he saw this, Meng Chuan was directly stunned, "Isn't this 761?" ”

Cai Chao heard Meng Chuan say a sentence 761 in his mouth, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Deputy team leader, what is 761?" ”

Meng Chuan glanced at Cai Chao, "761 compressed dry food, don't you know?" ”

When Cai Chao saw this iron box, his eyes widened, and he looked at this box of dry food like an antique, "My goodness, this is 761, I've only seen it in the picture, how did this country move the antique-grade compressed dry food over, this product of half a century ago, put it here, is it appropriate." ”

761 is the first generation of military food in our country, but 761 is the late first generation, originally in the early fifties of the last century, there were two dry foods, 701 and 702, which is the first batch of the first generation.

However, the 701 and 702 rations, which have no experience, will not talk about the taste.

Moreover, at that time, these two rations were developed with the intention of preparing them for veterans who were born and died on the battlefield, and those veterans who had been fighting for decades could eat as long as they had a stutter, and they didn't care about any taste at all.

As for the 761 rations, this is the real sense of military rations, at that time, being able to eat canned military food was a symbol of status, and the flavor of the 761 rations was quite good, if there were elders whose fathers were soldiers, they definitely knew that the 761 rations at that time were really respected by the whole country.

The 761 ration laid a solid foundation for the second generation of field rations, including the 861 rations and 90 rations of the second generation, as well as the Type 09 dry rations that were in service of the third generation, all of which had the shadow of 761 rations.

Strictly speaking, the generation of 761 is really too old.

can make a machine like 761 rations, Meng Chuan doesn't need to think about it to know that the age of that machine must be older than himself, for the founder of this kind of China's standard rations, if you don't taste it, it will really be a blood loss.

So Meng Chuan asked, "Can you give me a knife, I'll pry the lid open and eat a piece." ”
