Chapter 1102: Noodles
Li Jian didn't stay in the fortress too much, he still had a lot of things to do, and the problem of eating for the soldiers on the long march had not been solved, so he had to continue to work hard!
Just returned to the farm, this side is okay, although most of those women have left, but there are still some people who have not left, such as Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law, because she is pregnant, Lao Zhang is reluctant to let him be busy, so he didn't let her help.
This time it was fried, and as soon as Xiaofeng heard that the business of the barbecue restaurant was so hot, he immediately wanted to go over and have a look.
"Ouch, Feng'er, don't be busy with this matter now, when our child is born, I won't stop you as much as you want!"
Lao Zhang, a disabled person, now finally has a daughter-in-law and children, and has children, so you can't be cautious!
Even the little scum has been much more diligent recently, since Li Jian went to the clothing factory before and told him that he liked that woman, this matter has basically been done.
"It's all you, if I don't have children now, I must already be making money!"
Thinking that she couldn't be right with those little daughters-in-law, Lu Xiaofeng felt unwilling, but the little guy in her stomach was very important, and she couldn't make a mistake, so she could only beat Lao Zhang lightly.
"Isn't that what it can't be! The captain also said that pregnant women can't do that heavy work! ”
Li Jian is quite humane at this point, he will not oppress the working people, as long as they work hard, they have wages, and they don't have to worry about eating and drinking!
After Li Jian returned to the farm, in addition to watching the wild boar all day, he took a few people in the house and didn't know what he was messing with.
"Lao Zhang, what did you say the captain was doing, he got a few bags of flour in a few days ago!"
A disabled soldier limped over and looked at the room where Li Jian lived with Lao Zhang and asked.
Li Jian and a few people have been tinkering inside for several days, and they don't know what they are doing.
"Let's leave this alone, it must be a good thing anyway, maybe we can get rich again!"
While saying that Lao Zhang also left with a group of people, he didn't want them to disturb Li Jian.
In fact, Li Jian has been taking a few people inside to study the food that can be preserved for a long time.
The first thing that came to his mind was somen noodles, to see if this thing could be made like instant noodles, which could be eaten dry or soaked.
But in the end, he rejected this idea, and although instant noodles can be eaten well, they are not easy to make, and the energy provided is not enough, so they are still real noodles.
For example, this somen they are making now!
Don't look at it as a small noodles, Li Jian has worked hard.
Not to mention that this noodle has to be rolled well, it has to be guaranteed that it can be eaten raw, how can it be made in general.
Although it is salty and salty somen noodles can be eaten raw, it really doesn't taste very good, so he has been studying how to make it raw for the past few days!
In the end, he got a result, and that was that it didn't work.
If the noodles are cooked, they will not be stored at all.
So the work stopped, Li Jian scratched his messy hair, and finally asked a few people around:
"You say, wouldn't it be better if we cooked the noodles, then forced the moisture out of them, and finally sealed them with oiled paper?"
In fact, it is almost the same as instant noodles, but there are many differences, that is, it is more practical than instant noodles, easier to eat, and unlike instant noodles, which provide less energy.
"Then make a stove, put the noodles in it and steam them, and use the method of steaming noodles, that is, you have to get the oil paper!"
These people have a lot of work on eating, and at least the food they make is very good.
"That's fine, let's make some dry noodles, and then some dried noodles, and let the soldiers take them with them when they march!"
It was not enough to just eat dry noodles, Li Jian simply thought of a compromise method.
In addition, they are not only researching a kind of dried noodles, but also some pancakes or something!
This is simple, the pancakes are not as difficult to preserve as cooked noodles, if you add some secret ingredients given by Boss Hu to it, it will last longer.
"Captain, then let's try again tomorrow, everyone here is almost suffocating to death these days, let's change our brains!"
One of the warriors immediately said that they had been dealing with flour for the past few days, so now it was not only him, but several other people as well, and it was like vomiting when they saw the flour, and if they didn't stop for a while, he was afraid that he might really vomit.
"That's fine, it's seven or eight days to pull you over at once, it's really time to change your brain, come back in three days!"
A dozen or so fighters finally had a smiling face, and the noodles had a little eyebrows, and they didn't have to face the flour all day.
Seeing that Li Jian and they finally came out, they also took out a lot of noodles, and they didn't know if they could eat it, anyway, it looked good, Lao Zhang and they came over and asked:
"Captain, what is this? How do you make so many dried noodles? ”
"It's hard to say now, but if it is made, we won't have to eat those unpalatable and dry dry food when we march in the future!"
On more than one occasion, the soldiers complained that their dry food was unpalatable, and sometimes it could spoil after a long time.
So much so that although the soldiers of several brigades had bulging bags of dry food, they really didn't like to eat those dry food.
"Ahh
Lao Zhang looked at Li Jian excitedly and shouted, and then continued:
"That's a good thing!"
For those dry food, Lao Zhang didn't like it, they had cooked steel helmets in the trenches before, otherwise they really couldn't eat it.
Especially the several battalions in the fortress, they are usually here, if they are marching for a long distance, even if they go to the next few brigades to support, dry food is indispensable.
Because canned meat has little storage time, they don't have any preservatives for the time being, and can only bring dry food.
You can think about it, the soldiers who are used to eating meat, let them suddenly eat those dry food like rice grains, and they probably can't swallow it without water!
If it weren't for the fact that they still had a cooking class and brought a lot of canned meat and rice, I'm afraid the soldiers would have scolded their mothers a long time ago.
Although this is what Li Jian is used to, he really thinks that there is nothing wrong with this, they are fighting, if they don't eat well, if they lose their lives on the battlefield because of a stomachache or something, it will definitely be a big sin.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to make something this year, and the soldiers won't have to work so the march by then!"
It is good to be able to endure hardship, but the hardship that should not be endured is not suffering, but suffering!
Will Li Jian be willing to suffer all the time?
Obviously, the answer is no, whoever suffers, Li Jian doesn't want to suffer for himself.
So he buried himself in research for several days, and finally changed places.
