~： Treatment and canning

The room was dark, there were no lights, no candles, and there was hardly any light source in the room except for the brilliance of the torches that penetrated through the door.

Kent lay on the wooden bed, sniffing the faint smell of corruption in the air, trying to put himself into a deep sleep.

But the pain in his chest reminded him all the time-he was not in good physical condition at this time.

"It's really unlucky..."

Although I am willing to take risks for the future of the shelter, as a normal ordinary person, Kent still has the emotions he should have.

Especially when he got a shot in the chest, he was still outside, and the sky was full of radioactive dust. To be honest, if he hadn't eaten a piece of anti-radiation before setting off, he didn't know if he would have been exposed to radiation. sick. It's best not to. After all, he still has a younger brother and sister. If he died like this, he would be at ease, and there is no need to think about anything, but the younger brother and sister will definitely be sad. However, it is not impossible to die in this way. At the very least, you don't have to face this already shattered world, and your own sacrifice will definitely bring a better life to your brothers and sisters.

With such a mess of thoughts in his heart, Kent finally fell asleep slowly.

Injured and lost blood in his chest, the impact on him is still quite large.

didn't know how long he slept, Kent finally heard some sounds.

The voice sounded right beside me, very close, I felt that I could touch it with my hand.

"you're awake?"

Before he opened his eyes, he heard someone talking.

opened his eyes and saw that the oil lamp was lit in the room at some point. The small flame released a faint light, which was not enough to light up the room, but it allowed him to see a man's face in a blur.

"Who are you……"

"Jonny, Jonny Aika, I heard that you are new here, great, I finally have a roommate."

Kent's vision gradually became clear, and he quickly saw the man's looks.

A very ordinary face, with almost no special features at all. If he had to say something, he had a small piece of meat missing from his left ear, and the wrinkles on his face were also very deep, which looked very old. But judging from his voice and eyes, this person's age is probably about the same as his own, or even not as old as his own.

"Hello, my name is Kent..."

"I know your name, Rooney has already told me about your situation-don't get up, you still need to recuperate now-my former roommate died outside, so I was the only one going out recently, you know , Those coolies are very dishonest when they are at work, they like to be lazy, and even some people will sneak away. I really can’t see it alone. I have long hoped that someone can help me. Unfortunately, everyone already has a regular roommate. Rooney had told me that he would supplement me, but there has been no movement.

It’s good now. With you, we can act together in some time. By the way, where did you live before, and how long did the nuclear bomb explode? How did you survive? "

Jonny seemed to be a very talkative person, and kept talking.

Kent was lying on the bed and listening. After a while, he felt a little sleepy and his eyelids felt a little heavy.

"Oh, look at me, I forgot that you still have injuries, sorry, but you still can't sleep, you have to eat something, wait for me, I'll get you some food."

Johnny said, stood up, opened the door and walked out.

After a short while, he walked in with a bowl of porridge and a piece of bread.

"You'd better not eat too stimulating things now, drink some oatmeal, eat some bread to replenish energy."

The food here looks okay.

According to Jonny’s statement, it’s impossible to want to eat well, and to be full... It’s actually not easy, but it’s important that you don’t get hungry. Of course, this is only for combatants like them. Even combatants, if they don't go out every day, they can only eat to the level of seven percent full. Only on days when you need to go out can you have a full meal. If you are lucky, you can still eat some vegetables and meat.

Like higher-level captains, they can often eat vegetables, meat, etc., but also very few.

Only Otto and his confidants can eat better. It is said that Otto’s meals are eaten with meat, and I don’t know if it is true or not.

As for coolies, I’m sorry. The only food is cold water and bread. The bread will also be mixed with various messy things, such as cockroaches, bread bugs, etc., and I can only eat 50% full every day, most lack of food. At the time, you can only eat three points full, which can only guarantee that you will not starve to death.

In addition, unlike other shelters, Otto has a group of doctors and researchers here, and these people are also full every day.

If anyone can develop a new drug and prove its effectiveness, it will be rewarded.

"A researcher in the past developed a new drug, which is said to have better efficacy and lower cost than the drug before the sanctuary. Although the manufacturing difficulty is slightly increased, it is still a huge credit. Otto boss He rewarded him with three women, an exclusive room, and twenty catties of meat."

When Johnny said this, drool came from his mouth.

didn't know if it was because of the twenty catties of meat or because of the three women.

Kent was a little curious, and asked Jonny, can Otto keep a lot of meat here?

"It's canned food. Before the end of the day, Boss Otto bought a batch of canned meat from other cities. There were dozens of canned foods. As a result, people became zombies before they were distributed. But this way. Fortunately, at least with these canned meat, the shelter estimates that for several years, there is no need to worry about running out of meat."

Jonny explained.

Kent now understands.

Canned meat, although the taste is not as good as fresh meat, or even frozen and remelted meat, it is meat after all. In this day and age, the calories and energy a canned meat can provide is equivalent to ordinary bread. Incomparable.

More importantly, canned meat is now a luxury item.

But for Kent, he doesn't care about cans or anything.

This is when he comes out to perform the task. He must be mixed into the Otto Sanctuary before he is forced to accept a period of "hard" life. If he is still in his own sanctuary, what kind of meat canned food, in his status and earning points. Speed, eating fresh stew and roast meat every day is not a problem.

But for general shelters, the value of canned food is too great.

The most important point is that canned food is easy to store.

This is already guaranteed in the canning production process.

The selection of canned raw materials is more important. This is the basic link to ensure the quality of canned food processing. According to the requirements of canned food, select fresh, size and maturity raw materials. The raw materials whose size does not meet the requirements are eliminated, which facilitates the operation of the follow-up work.

For some raw materials, peeling treatment is required, such as yellow peaches, oranges, etc. But for canned meat, there are no such problems. You only need to remove the viscera, fur and some bones, and the raw materials are considered qualified.

Then, these materials are pre-cooked, and the appropriate temperature and time are selected to ensure their maturity.

Then add auxiliary materials. This step is to ensure the taste and storage time of the can. All the auxiliary materials needed to be added need to undergo quality inspection to ensure that they will not cause harm to the human body. When the auxiliary materials are added, it is necessary to select the appropriate type and quantity according to the requirements of the raw materials to prevent the auxiliary materials from exceeding the standard.

The last step is sterilization, exhaust, and cooling.

This is the most critical link. Sterilization is related to the shelf life of canned food. Therefore, the sterilization process used for different canned foods is different. However, as long as the cans produced by regular manufacturers and regular brands, high temperature sterilization and vacuum packaging are used. Whatever it is, this is not difficult, and it is basically guaranteed to make canned food.

In this case, the can storage compartment for one to three years is not a problem at all.

But this alone is particularly important for most shelters today.

And what I want to explain here is that beyond the expiration date, it does not mean that it must have deteriorated. In fact, most of the shelf life guarantees the flavor of the food. If the shelf life is exceeded, the flavor will be affected and the taste will change, but the food itself does not necessarily deteriorate quickly. Specific to cans, this is mainly judged by observing whether the lid of the can is raised. Once the internal food deteriorates, the lid of the can will often be raised. It is best not to eat it at this time.

In addition, other advantages of canned food, such as the small changes in nutrients and flavor during processing, maintain the original nutritional value and flavor of the food to a large extent. For example, it is easy to carry, transport and store, and it is not easy to be damaged. For another example, most canned food can be eaten without reprocessing, which is more convenient, etc., which makes canned food a real hard currency in the apocalyptic era.

Ankai Shelter can produce canned food, but it is not necessary.

Kent didn't know much about these things, but after joining the shelter, he just read a book or something when he had nothing to do, and now he knows a little bit.

If you want to produce canned food, there are some requirements.

First of all, ensure that the container is harmless to the human body.

Canned food contains sugar, protein, fat, organic acid, and may also contain ingredients such as salt. The material used as the canned container is in direct contact with the food and requires a long period of storage. They should not chemically react with each other and cause no harm. Human health, no pollution to food and affect the flavor of food. In this regard, the shelter can easily meet the standard. After all, most meat cans are made of aluminum cans, and aluminum can be directly excavated in Ankai shelters.

Secondly, cans must have good sealing properties.

This is the key to long-term preservation of canned food. After all, the spoilage of food is often the result of microbial activities and reproduction in the natural world of food, which promotes the decomposition of food. Canned food is a kind of food that can be stored for a long time by processing, sealing, and sterilizing food raw materials. If the sealing performance of the container is poor, the sterilized food will be contaminated by microorganisms again and cause spoilage. Basically, this can only be done with a professional machine, or the principle of thermal expansion and contraction is used to let the lid **** tightly.

When Ankai was still on the earth, he once made only tomato sauce at home. The production method is very simple. It is to wash the tomatoes, boil and peel them, then cut into pieces and continue to cook until they are soft and melted with the water in the pot, then pour them into a glass bottle when it is boiling hot, and then quickly tighten the lid. . After the tomato sauce cools, the internal air shrinks and the lid can be sucked tightly. In this way, a bottle of tomato sauce can be stored for one year without a problem.

Buy large quantities of tomatoes when they are cheap. After the tomatoes are expensive, you can still have relatively fresh tomato sauce to eat. Whether you eat it directly or use it for cooking, it is excellent.

It's too far, let's talk about canned meat.

Because canned food contains organic substances such as organic acids and proteins, as well as certain inorganic salts necessary for the human body, it will corrode the container. Some substances will produce some chemical changes during the industrial production process of canned food, releasing certain corrosive substances, and the contact between the contents and the container of the canned food will also change slowly during the long-term storage process, making the canned container Corrosion occurs.

Therefore, as a canned food container, it must have good corrosion resistance.

In a word, in an era when people can’t live happily in the last days, there is pollution everywhere, water and electricity are cut off, and the planting and breeding industries are all over, which shelter can have a batch of cans in hand is really too important. NS.

And Otto, as the biggest gang boss in Herto, has always been in control of the city’s canned food wholesale and sales channels. Therefore, he has a large batch of canned meat in his hand. This is what Otto is today. One of the important factors to be able to enjoy life and to ensure the stability of the shelter.

Jonny doesn't know how many cans of meat Otto has in his hands. He doesn't know the specific types, but he probably won't be able to run the main ones.

For example, canned animal meat. This is the most common one. It is roughly divided into steamed, seasoned, pickled, smoked, sausage, and offal. Kent used to eat canned meat because of work problems. To be honest If this is in peacetime, he would really feel sick when he smells it.

Then there is canned poultry, but this kind of canned food is relatively rare, at least I haven't seen it in Kent.

Canned aquatic animals, that is, canned fish. The locals in Herto do not like to eat fish, so it is estimated that there are very few canned fish.

Canned fruit is estimated to be too much. Compared to the situation where fresh fruit may be sweet or not, canned fruit is guaranteed to be sweet and is loved by ordinary people. In peacetime, its sales volume is even more than that of canned meat. For example, Kent's favorites are canned yellow peaches and canned assortments, and grapes are also very good. According to Jonny, he had eaten a small spoonful of canned oranges a week ago, which is a daily ration.

In addition, canned vegetables, dried fruits and nuts, canned cereals and beans, and canned soups can be seen in the market before.

It is estimated that Otto must have them here, but it is really hard to say how many types are there, and how many of each type are there.

Then why does Kent ask about the cans? It's very simple.

He was thinking about how to keep these cans as much as possible while provoking the Otto Sanctuary to start a war. When his own sanctuary comes here in the future, these cans can be used as a batch of important supplies. Destroyed by the flames of war would be troublesome. The best result was that Otto and others died in battle, and the canned food was preserved at the same time that the shelter was incorporated. That was the perfect situation.
