Bab 494: The Four Neighbors, "Affluent" Basin! (Two In One)

About 40% of the supplies that had been loaded onto the ship before setting sail had been used up during the voyage to the New World.

The originally plentiful food supply had now been severely depleted. 

Based on meal size estimates, the remaining reserves would only last 1405 people five months before being completely exhausted. 

If they included the food required to feed the lizards, yaks, and sheep into this equation, the food reserves would likely be exhausted in four months at most. 

However, this data was based on the calculation of everyone having three meals a day to fully satiate themselves.

If the number of daily meals was cut to two meals, and the meal size was cut by 60%, the food reserves could actually last them up to a year. 

"Let's remain generous with the distribution of food! Only when everyone gets their fill will they have the energy work. We shouldn't let our people go hungry while we still have food."
