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

"really!"

Xia Weiwei nodded.

If she could continuously collect items from this storage space and retrieve them from another dimension, she could transport hundreds of tons of goods at once.

It's not that we can't continue, but we're afraid we won't have enough money.

"Now let me see how big the space is!"

Ma Hongwei smiled and extended his hand.

Xia Weiwei also extended her hand and shook hands with Ma Hongwei.

Although this wasn't the first time Ma Hongwei had shaken hands with Xia Weiwei, it was their first handshake since they officially became a couple.

That feeling was completely different from before.

"Buzz!"

A red light flashed, and a time-space panel appeared between the two.

[Bound Hosts]: Xia Weiwei (female, 22 years old, born in 1915), Ma Hongwei (male, 26 years old, born in 2000)

Current time and space: 2026.

[Anchoring Time and Space]: 1937.

Storage space: 48 cubic meters (4 meters long, 4 meters wide, 3 meters high, upgradable)

[Time-Space Teleportation Countdown]: 47:55:33

[Important Note: The two hosts must not be more than 100 meters apart, otherwise they will be separated into two different timelines!]

"That's 48 cubic meters already!"

Ma Hongwei said, "This is almost twice as much as before!"

"Um!"

Xia Weiwei nodded and said, "It used to be 18 cubic meters, now it's 48 cubic meters."

"The storage space area has been increased three times, I think it's been increased by one meter each in length, width, and height?"

Ma Hongwei calculated, "So, the next one should be 60 cubic meters?"

Then, he asked Xia Weiwei, "Weiwei, what kind of supplies do the leaders want this time?"

Xia Weiwei replied, "The leaders didn't say anything."

She paused for a moment, then added, "However, a leader did mention grain before."

"Food?"

Ma Hongwei said, "Let me check!"

He opened the steamed bun and asked, "Steamed bun, how much does 48 cubic meters of grain weigh?"

After sending, a series of messages are displayed.

Ma Hongwei observed that one cubic meter of wheat weighs 750 kg, so 48 cubic meters would weigh 72000 jin (approximately 36,000 catties).

一立方米的玉米是700-780kg，48立方在67200斤-74880斤之间。

One cubic meter of rice weighs 850 kg, so 48 cubic meters weighs 81600 jin (approximately 40,000 catties).

One cubic meter of rice (with husk) weighs 600 kg, and 48 cubic meters weighs 57600 jin (28,800 catties).

Ma Hongwei then asked, "Weiwei, how much do you eat each day?"

"Frontline combat personnel receive 1.5 jin of grain per day, mainly consisting of millet, black beans, sorghum, corn, and sweet potatoes. Wheat flour and rice are not always available during holidays."

Xia Weiwei said, "Medics like us, as well as staff and civilian personnel, only have 1.25 jin of grain per day."

"I heard that in the past, when things were tougher, people only had three to one pound of coarse grains a day and had to eat vegetables instead of grains. Going hungry was the norm."

"But things are much better now than before. In addition to grains, we also have 3 qian of oil, 5 qian of salt, and 1 jin of vegetables. The vegetables include cabbage and radish, and we also add dozens of kinds of wild vegetables such as elm seeds, locust flowers, willow catkins, poplar leaves, ailanthus leaves, bitter greens, sow thistle, and purslane."

"We ate very little meat, only enemy food captured in battle, and occasionally we were able to hunt wild game and river fish."

Upon hearing Xia Weiwei's words, Ma Hongwei fell silent.

Although he knew that the conditions for the Eighth Route Army were not good, he did not expect them to be this difficult.

Three liang of grain is only 150 grams, which is a day's worth of food, not just one meal.

Vegetables also need to be paired with a lot of wild vegetables.

When he was a child, he also ate elm seeds, locust flowers, and purslane.

But those were all made by pan-frying pancakes with flour, and very little was added.

Ma Hongwei has never eaten wild vegetables.

Moreover, are poplar leaves and willow catkins edible?

The kind of storylines in movies and TV dramas where characters often eat white steamed buns and look down on eating flatbread are simply made up.

Ma Hongwei frowned and said in a deep voice, "We should transport some grain, but the space is still a bit too small."

Even if all the cargo is rice, only 81600 jin (44,000 catties) can be transported at a time.

Based on 1.5 jin per person per day, it's only enough to feed 54400 people for one day.

Transporting goods from one side to the other takes at least two days.

Ma Hongwei pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "That's right, we could get some compressed biscuits!"

He remembered eating compressed biscuits that a classmate bought once when he was in school. He said that eating just a small piece was very filling.

Ma Hongwei opened the bean bun again for comparison.

[Item]: 100g Military-grade 90 Compressed Biscuits (Special Forces Standard Version)

Calories: 445 kcal

Protein: 10.7 grams

[Fat]: 16.3 grams

[Carbohydrates]: 63.4 grams

Moisture content: ≤5%

Sodium content: Slightly high (due to the addition of salt for seasoning)

[Basic Ingredients]: Wheat flour, vegetable oil, milk powder, salt, white sugar

……

[Item]: 100 grams of raw rice

Calories: 346 kcal

Protein: 7.4 grams

[Fat]: 0.8 grams

[Carbohydrates]: 77.2 grams

Moisture content: Approximately 13%

Sodium content: Extremely low, almost sodium-free.

[Basis of Ingredients]: Pure rice starch, no additional oil, sugar, or salt.

The final conclusion was that compressed biscuits have significant advantages.

For the same weight, compressed biscuits have 28.6% more calories and about 40% more protein than rice.

It contains fat, salt, and sugar, is slow to digest, and keeps you full for a long time, making it the first choice for military campaigns and outdoor activities.

Compressed biscuits contain sugar, salt, and milk powder, and taste better than black beans, sorghum, and sweet potatoes.

It's important to know that sweet potatoes in the past hadn't undergone many improvements; they were very fibrous and tough to eat, and not as sweet as those of later generations.

The only downside to compressed biscuits is that they are very dry, requiring you to drink a lot of water.

Because compressed biscuits are very filling, 100 grams of compressed biscuits can provide a feeling of fullness for 6 hours.

Most adults only need 300 grams a day to meet their basic calorie needs.

For a short period of time, all three meals a day consisted of compressed biscuits, along with vegetables and soup.

A 48-cubic-meter batch of compressed biscuits weighs 33.6 tons, or 33600 kg.

Enough to feed 11.2 people for one day.

The Eighth Route Army now has a total of just over 50,000 men, and the number of personnel on the front lines is far less than that.

Take the 129th Division for example; it has three regiments and more than 9000 men on the front lines.

Let's assume that the three main divisions together have a total of 28000 men on the front lines.

One shipment of compressed biscuits is enough to feed them for four days.

In contrast, the rice supply was only enough for two days.

The first thing to consider now is whether we have it or not, not anything else.

In terms of nutrition and taste alone, compressed biscuits are many times better than the fried noodles from the Korean War.
