The War Reserve for Ordinary People (Essence Edition)

Rice can only be stored for two years; dried rice can be stored for five to ten years.

Soybeans can be stored for twenty years; sesame seeds can last sixty years.

A very important substitute for food is sugar.
If you buy rock sugar or white granulated sugar, it can be stored for a thousand years without spoiling.
White sugar is also a good natural preservative; many foods with a large amount of white sugar can be preserved for a long time.

Besides grains and sugar, another very important item is medicine.
Among all medicines, the most important are antibiotics.

Remember: in chaotic times, whether it’s cordyceps, lingzhi, dendrobium, black goji berries, or ginseng, they are all useless. At that time, even the medicines used by veterinarians, and the antibiotics given to chickens, ducks, pigs, and cattle on farms, can be life-saving.

Don’t worry about expiration dates; some medicines that are expired for a long time can still save lives. Even if you only have a few hundred yuan per kilogram of veterinary tetracycline, it’s better than having no antibiotics.

Another good item is water purification materials. The most convenient is alum for sedimentation, disinfectants like chlorine dioxide and sodium hypochlorite.
Alum is rarely used now.
For very dirty water from ordinary ponds, adding a little alum can cause a large amount of suspended particles to clump and settle.
Harmful bacteria and parasite eggs for the human body will become sediment.
Then, add one gram of chlorine dioxide or sodium hypochlorite to a tank of water for disinfection, killing bacteria and viruses.
This water can then be directly drunk!$BTC
