Chapter 15 Food Issues
PS: Thank you for the three chrysanthemums sent by the book friend "Canglongbuyi".

Ninety-ninth Chongyang, Huali also suddenly remembered that tomorrow seems to be Huali's birthday, the tenth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar! ! !
——The following text——
If it is just to feed these dozen mouths, it will not take so much at all. After some staple food, then some dishes, it will not take so much at all.
But Cai Ruichen is not the kind of person who is tight in the front and tight in the rear. It is impossible for him to eat big fish and meat in the rear, while the soldiers below eat white steamed buns, tomatoes or cucumbers every day.
Calculating the daily consumption, Cai Ruichen had no choice but to slander the deceitful prices in Iraq, but he could only start with the daily consumption.
If the real space is not in a country like Iraq, which is almost destroyed by war, but in any stable country, then the daily consumption of each soldier can be controlled at about ten dollars.
And for the ten dollars, three meals are very good, and even dinners can be organized from time to time to reward soldiers.
But in a place like Baghdad, since the flames of war have been burning for almost two generations, the country has ceased to exist since Saddam was hanged.
Prices have naturally risen to a very high level. The grain sold by international grain merchants in Iraq is already very expensive, and domestic grain production is decreasing every year.
It is not bad to be able to maintain such a price, at least few people have been starved to death.
But this is not a comfortable thing for Cai Ruichen, the cost of raising soldiers is nearly five times higher than other places.
If it's just a few mouths, then there are not many problems, but the development of the base is about to scale up. Could it be that the soldiers are willing to make a fool of themselves.
This is obviously impossible, but at this moment, he has no other way to obtain food.
In general, in the situation where prices cannot be changed, if we want to maintain a longer life by relying on the US dollars in our hands, we must reduce food consumption as much as possible.
Originally according to Cai Ruichen's plan, during normal training, a soldier should prepare at least 750 grams of staple food, 500 grams of vegetables and fruits, and 750 grams of meat every day.
In this way, the daily consumption has reached two kilograms, which is within the normal range for soldiers who train every day.
Cai Ruichen is already very experienced in this. After a week of training, he has to eat four meals a day, consuming at least 750 grams of food each time.
Therefore, arranging 2,000 grams of food per day for soldiers can also maintain the training intensity and physical exertion of soldiers well.
But now it seems that the money in his hand does not allow such extravagant spending at all.
Otherwise, after half a month, everyone in the base will drink the northwest wind.
At least one month must be persisted, which is a standard in Cai Ruichen's plan.
Cai Ruichen had no choice but to focus on the quality of the food supply, cutting off the more expensive meat and focusing on the staple food.
Corn fried rice is what most Iraqis would eat. Cai Ruichen, who originally prepared white rice, steamed buns, buns, etc., could only write cheap things like corn fried rice in the plan.
It doesn't cost much to make enough corn fried rice for everyone, which can also reduce the amount of vegetables and meat.
After some calculations, the daily food consumption of the soldiers was reduced to 1.5 kilograms per day, and the daily food consumption was also controlled at 15 dollars per person.
This is the result of Cai Ruichen's calculations. In this way, after adding ten conscripts and two military dogs,
The daily consumption will be controlled at two hundred and fifty dollars.
For this daily consumption, Cai Ruichen didn't see the general who consumed the largest amount, and still planned to supply enough for the general every day.
What is cut off is a part of oneself, and it is still a large part.
In the past, because he was not used to the staple food in Baghdad, and his appetite grew after training every day, he alone had to eat two crispy chickens, a piece of beef, and two eggs at the minimum of each meal.
The problem of food has already begun to be faced, Cai Ruichen naturally has no way to spend as much as before.
Deduct those expensive consumptions from your own mouth, and control the supply of each meal to about thirty dollars.
Compared with the control amount of fifteen dollars that the conscripts consume every day, Cai Ruichen is also quite guilty.
The price of goods in Iraq is fifteen dollars a day, and the conscripts don't even have an egg, which can only satisfy them to eat enough every day.
And in the morning, only one steamed bun and side dishes were arranged, and the rice porridge was enough.
Only the two meals at noon and evening will see meat.
The conditions are indeed not easy, but this is also the result of Cai Ruichen's calculations and weighing.
But even though it has been compressed to a very low standard, the daily consumption has reached 250 US dollars, and the existing US dollars in his hand can only last for 20 days at most.
There are still three chances to draw in these twenty days, if none of these three draws can draw a unit that can change this situation.
Then Cai Ruichen had to consider whether to take the risk of shooting bullets in real space.
Before that, he had inquired about it. In the weapons market in Marin Town, an AK-47 bullet assembled by a small processing factory sold for one dollar.
And the best bullets produced by Genzheng Miaohong from the original AK-47 factory will cost 2.5 times the price of assembly, but generally a bullet can be sold for three dollars, which is still the case that there is no market for the price.
Five points of capital can produce two hundred rounds of ammunition, which is equal to six hundred dollars.
Cai Ruichen had this idea of selling bullets a long time ago, but it was impossible for him to enter the weapons market, let alone sell bullets in it.
In addition, every time this original AK-47 bullet appears, it will be directly purchased by the local warlord in Marin Town.
To be honest, Cai Ruichen really didn't want to come into contact with those armed groups so early unless it was so helpless.
The golden belt of murder and arson can control such a critical small town in a place like Bagua City. Apart from the thousands of armed forces, this armed organization cannot have clean hands and feet.
Now that Cai Ruichen has no power or power, and only a few small soldiers under him, it is impossible to contend with such an organization.
Once the other party uses their brains, troubles will arise. Besides, the base is under the No. 1 warehouse. Even if these people cannot enter the base, it is extremely dangerous.
After all, the base is not indestructible, so Cai Ruichen is so cautious.
But if things really come to that point, those who don't want to do it can only do it.
It's impossible to let the soldiers starve themselves!
Of course, Cai Ruichen also thought about whether he could get something to eat in this wasteland world.
After all, there is a town next to it, even if all the food is broken, there are still things like canned food and rice.
If the town can be controlled, the food crisis will be alleviated to a certain extent.
If you just want to enter the town and pull out the things inside, you will inevitably have to encounter the monsters inside at close range.
With this little army, it is impossible to deal with at least tens of thousands of monsters inside. Instead of letting the soldiers die, it is better to go to the real space to gamble once.
So as soon as this idea appeared, it was immediately suppressed by Cai Ruichen. This kind of thing is temporarily impossible.
Let's just say that food can be obtained from the town, but it has to be transported by car. The roads in the town are crowded with abandoned cars, and they have to be disposed of in advance.
This work is not easy, and it cannot be completed in a short time without a suitable engineering vehicle.
After some calculations, Cai Ruichen could only pray in the end that before the US dollars were exhausted, he must draw units that could relieve the food pressure.
