Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

Daokou roast chicken is a local specialty that is sold all over the country, so it is naturally available.

Whether it's 30000 Daokou roast chickens or 30000 Sichuan pepper chickens, Ma Hongwei requires that all of them be braised to a net weight of 750-800 grams, excluding packaging.

Otherwise, some manufacturers will play word games, labeling the weight as raw, when the finished product after braising only weighs 520-600 grams.

Even if you see a slightly lower price when making a purchase, you'll actually end up losing out.

Ma Hongwei didn't want any established brands, just a regular large factory.

The Sichuan pepper chicken costs 16.5 yuan per chicken, and 30000 chickens would cost a total of 495000 yuan.

The shelf life is all within six months.

"We have pork, we have chicken, and now, some braised eggs, please!"

Ma Hongwei pondered to himself.

This braised egg is one of the perfect accompaniments to instant noodles.

Ma Hongwei remembers that when he was a child, he liked to add ham sausage and braised eggs to his instant noodles.

Eggs are cheap anyway, so we can buy them in bulk.

They couldn't provide so many eggs for the Eighth Route Army soldiers over there, but they could provide them here.

Country-style braised eggs, stored for 4-8 months, are priced at 0.46 yuan each.

Ma Hongwei directly ordered 30 tons of goods, which is 909090 pieces, for a total of 418181 yuan.

Each soldier eats three pills a day, enough to feed 60000 soldiers for five days.

"And some more braised pork liver and chicken liver, please!"

Ma Hongwei felt it was necessary to buy some offal.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army soldiers still suffered from severe night blindness.

Their deficiency is due to vitamin A, not a congenital condition or disease.

Eating organ meats can help improve and treat this type of night blindness.

Especially the liver.

The reason why eating liver can improve eyesight is because liver is rich in vitamin A, and the content is very high.

If you continue feeding them this for a few weeks, their night vision will improve significantly.

The wholesale price of braised pig liver is 5.2 yuan/kg, and the total price of 30 tons is 156000 yuan.

Braised chicken liver is cheaper, with a wholesale price of only 3.4 yuan/kg, and the total price for 30 tons is 102000 yuan.

Compared to braised chicken and braised eggs, this price is quite cheap.

It's even cheaper than pork.

However, offal is also a type of meat and can supplement vitamin A, which can improve night blindness, making it a good choice.

"Now look at these goods, see how much space they take up."

马红伟计算了一下，30吨冷冻猪白条、30吨道口烧鸡、30吨椒麻鸡、30吨乡巴佬鸡蛋、30吨卤猪肝、30吨滷鸡肝，总共占空间535.42立方米。

The flour accounts for 450 cubic meters.

The total volume is 985.42 cubic meters.

The current storage space is 1960 cubic meters.

Subtracting these spaces, there are still 974.58 cubic meters left.

After calculating, Ma Hongwei said, "Since there's still so much space, let's keep buying canned goods!"

Anyway, canned food won't spoil.

In this way, Ma Hongwei bought another 30 tons of braised beef canned food, 30 tons of black bean dace canned food, and 30 tons of yellow peach canned food.

These three items together occupy an additional 166.27 cubic meters of space.

"Oh, right!"

Ma Hongwei slapped his forehead, thinking to himself, "Chief of Staff Ni told me to buy another batch of compressed biscuits!"

"Then let's buy another batch of compressed biscuits!"

Ma Hongwei recalls that when he bought compressed biscuits, a 48-cubic-meter container could hold 33.6 tons of compressed biscuits, not counting the packaging weight.

This time, we purchased 134.4 tons, enough to feed 5.6 people for 8 days.

However, the storage space couldn't hold that much stuff before, so the soldiers were only allowed to eat 300 grams a day.

Now that there's more storage space, it's possible to eat 600 grams of compressed biscuits a day.

If each soldier eats 600 grams of compressed biscuits per day, 134.4 tons would only be enough to feed 5.6 people for 4 days.

Ma Hongwei had already bought up all the near-expiry inventory in the surrounding provinces.

The wholesale price is 9400 yuan per ton in iron drums, which is 4.7 yuan per jin (0.5 kg) on ​​average.

Ma Hongwei wanted a large enough quantity, so he could get a 5% discount, bringing the price down to 8930 yuan/ton, or 4.465 yuan/jin.

The total weight is 134.4 tons, amounting to 120 million yuan, and it occupies 192 cubic meters of space.

"And chocolate, let's start with 10 tons!"

Ma Hongwei thought to himself, "Anyway, it's winter now, so I don't have to worry about the chocolate melting."

Ma Hongwei started buying Type 10 military milk chocolate again.

The price for sea trials is cheaper, with a wholesale price of 36 yuan per kilogram, and the packaging is ordinary.

The wholesale price of Factory 4003 is 48 yuan per kilogram, which is the aircrew grade and has better packaging.

After thinking it over, Ma Hongwei still chose Factory 4003.

After all, the food for the Eighth Route Army soldiers had to be good.

Don't give me cocoa butter substitute; that won't count as real chocolate.

Buying 10 tons of chocolate also entitles you to a 5% discount, bringing the total price to 91.2.

It occupies 81.3 cubic meters of space.

"535.01 cubic meters of space remain!"

Ma Hongwei stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and finally decided to buy all the cotton quilts.

The Eighth Route Army not only lacked cotton-padded clothing, but also cotton-padded quilts and mattresses.

The cotton quilts of the main force of the Eighth Route Army generally only contained 3-4 jin of cotton.

Later, the Japanese army repeatedly carried out sweeps and blockades, making cotton even more difficult to obtain.

Therefore, the standard for cotton quilts had to be changed to 2.5-3 jin.

Even during the most difficult times, new recruits were given quilts containing only 2 jin (1 catties) of cotton wadding.

Inside the cotton quilt, a small amount of wool and cattail fluff are mixed in to make it thicker.

It wasn't until after the Great Production Campaign of 44-4.5 that supplies began to improve, and newly sewn quilts were able to recover to 3.5-45 jin of cotton.

In contrast, the cotton quilts used by the Kuomintang Central Army at that time weighed 5-6 jin of cotton.

The local troops, who were not part of the Central Army, actually only had 3-4 jin (1.5-2 catties) of cotton quilts, but they were better than the Eighth Route Army, which was under blockade.

As for the mattress used to make the bed, it normally weighs 2-3 jin (1-1.5 catties).

However, many units could not obtain such supplies, so the soldiers could only lay out hay and old cotton clothes on the ground and make do with that to sleep.

"The Eighth Route Army currently has cotton quilts and military overcoats to cover themselves, but what they lack are mattresses for laying on the ground. Let's buy a batch of cotton mattresses first!"

Thinking about it, Ma Hongwei contacted Boss Xue, who had previously bought cotton-padded clothes and shoes from him.

[Ma Hongwei: "Boss Xue, do you have any cotton work quilts for construction sites? Cotton ones, not synthetic ones."]
