Yesterday I saw a reader leaving a message below saying that he wanted to know about the Navy's diet.

Seeing this question, I suddenly thought, you are really asking the right person. I dare not talk about other troops. In our troops, I know the best about diet.

Many people say that the Navy's food costs are very high, the Navy eats very well, and the Navy can fish, I tell you all, this is all bullshit.

In other words, no matter how good the ingredients are, when you encounter an unqualified chef, the things you cook will definitely be bullshit.

The Chinese people's research on food has been very grand since ancient times. In other countries, the diet is at most, fried, fried, or boiled in water.

But it is different in China. Fry, boil, braised, marinated, fried, steamed, etc. Any ingredient can be developed to the extreme in China. Whether it is edible or not, we must turn it into edible.

I saw a joke before. Some people said that Chinese people cooked everything they could eat, and even those that could not be eaten, such as herbs, were tried to boil them into Chinese medicine and take them.

Therefore, in ancient legends, those who know food are heroes, this is the truth.

Just kidding, don't take it too seriously.

However, in our army, these things are all bullshit. The army's diet is in the form of big pot rice, and the environment cannot be done well. Everyone has become monks halfway and is not a real chef.

Big pot dishes are different from ordinary small pot dishes. Cooking big pot dishes is already a very difficult thing.

Generally speaking, there are only two best things to make in big pot dishes, one is cooked and the other is fried. However, due to the limited conditions on the boat, we cannot fry things all day long because we cannot afford to cook these oils.

So our diet is basically based on cooking.

When it comes to cooking, it is very simple. Just put some oil, soy sauce, some salt, and some MSG. Then turn on the tap and add some water to it. Cover the pot and stuff it for a while, then stir-fry the dish with a spatula for two and it will be ready for the pot.

But what are the sequelae of doing this?

Take the braised pork that we eat most often as an example. Generally, when making braised pork at home, we use low heat to fry it thoroughly and weave it all out. After it is made, we put it in a pressure cooker and simmer it. This kind of meat is crispy but not rotten, fat but not greasy but very delicious. The braised pork cooked in this way is a good braised pork.

But the braised pork on our boat is quite unique.

At that time, the worker from our main gun manufacturing factory came to us to repair the main gun, and then we had lunch on our boat.

I took the Shanghai chefs to the cafeteria together, and the main dish on that day was braised pork.

Judging from the color, this braised pork is actually OK. No matter how tastes, it looks good anyway.

So I introduced it to the workers and masters. I said that the braised pork on our boat must taste it. This is the special dish on our boat.

The workers and masters were very excited at the time. They took the plate and beat some braised pork, some vegetables, some rice, and then sat down to eat.

As a result, as soon as I took my first bite, everyone looked at me with a strange look on their faces.

The leading worker asked me: "Little brother, what are the characteristics of your braised pork?"

I laughed and said to them: "The braised pork outside is fat but not greasy, while the braised pork on our boat is greasy and fat. Do you think this is a specialty?"

As a result, I was stared at by the worker for a long time that day with contempt.

...

The food on the boat is basically three dishes and one soup, one large meat, one small meat, and one vegetarian dish.

There is a soup every day, and this soup is usually a broth, such as stewed with radish with meat and bones, stewed with soybeans, pork feet, etc.

The soup must be enough, because one of our soup buckets is at least 50 kilograms, so everyone can drink the soup, but the ingredients inside are usually not eaten.

For 50 kilograms of soup, maybe less than five kilograms of pork ribs are needed, so you can only eat it if you are the first team to make meals every day.

Let me talk about it here that the three of our teams take turns to make meals. For example, this week, the first team will make meals. Then they may eat bones in bone soup. Of course, it is impossible for everyone in the team to eat them, only the first few people can do it.

The second week may be our second team. As long as the second team is serving food, I will be the first to queue up to get the ingredients to the soup.

In the third week, that is the third team, and in the fourth week, it will return to the first team.

However, when I first went there, I didn’t line up according to the various teams to get food. Anyway, whoever got older would start queuing.

At that time, every time I didn’t queue up, I went in to make soup first, ate the ingredients inside, and made the sound of vomiting on the side.

Afterwards, everyone thought that people like me would affect everyone's appetite, so they jointly wrote a letter saying that they had to make food according to the team.

In addition, after such a team is allocated, no one can enter the canteen in advance. They must enter the canteen in the order of queueing, which also blocked my way of taking the lead in making soup.

Thinking about it now, I think this army is really bad at me and I can’t even eat enough.

...

Although we are all at the beach, we don’t actually eat much fish. First, the price of fish is relatively expensive, and we don’t have that much food fee to buy. Second, the sign of eating fish is not particularly good.

When eating fish, you have to face the fact that you will not turn over. People who are seamen cannot turn over when eating fish, because falling over is equivalent to capsizing the boat, which means never turning over. So even if we eat fish, the kitchen team will cut the fish into pieces.

But eating meat and fish is a small matter. The most difficult problem on our boat is vegetables.

Because our supply of vegetables is not very convenient, eating vegetables is the biggest problem on the boat.

Some people may ask, how can eating vegetables become a big problem? There is no special supply station now.

Then I want to tell you, because we go to sea without any rules. Sometimes we have to go out as a duty ship to perform tracking and surveillance tasks. In this case, the dishes are temporarily replenished.

The supply station delivers fresh vegetables every morning, but the temporary supplements are some of the defective products left by the supply station. So the vegetables we eat every time we go to sea are very bad. For example, the carrots we buy outside are very full and shiny, while the radishes we eat may be very dry and flat and very small.
