Scholars in the courtyard.

The water is boiling

At this moment, it felt like a demon was constantly tempting her, so Xiao Liu couldn't help but want to try.

Turning around, he picked up the pot, wiped it clean with a rag, and fiddled with it on the ground.

After a while, Xiao Liu frowned again after feeling out all the parts of the pot.

There are so many tricks in this pot, is it really a pot?
Looking at the big iron pot on the stove, it must be for cooking.

There is more interest in my heart.

It was full, and after Xiao Liu got familiar with it, he began to experiment.

In case something goes wrong, it can also eliminate this hidden danger for the station.

"Add water first."

Xiao Liu carefully operated according to the instructions, and stopped immediately after seeing the water level reached.

"Then fix the rubber ring and put the lid on, pay attention to the exhaust valve."

"This is the exhaust valve."

Xiao Liu blew with her mouth,
"Pressure valve?"

"Yes, it should be this."

Koyanagi pushed the pressure valve to a fixed position.

"This is too troublesome. What kind of pot."

After everything was done, Xiao Liu put the pot on the stove while complaining.

Under the setting sun, on the mountainside, a group of people suddenly appeared in the field of vision from the top of the mountain.

They lined up, the people behind helped each other, and climbed to the station step by step.

The old squad leader on the sentry tower discovered it immediately, and hurriedly called Xiaoliu to prepare things.

Xiao Liu agreed, and turned around to prepare things.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Liu was carrying pancakes when he suddenly heard the sound of the pan on the stove.

Putting down the pancakes quickly, Xiao Liu picked up the instruction manual and found the corresponding situation.

"Return the pressure valve."

"Hey, how did this pressure valve get here?"

Xiao Liu was surprised, but quickly returned the pressure valve according to the instructions, then took the pot off the stove and put it aside.

The pot was no longer steaming, and Xiao Liu didn't care. The shouts of his companions came from outside the door, and the old squad leader even went out to greet him.

Xiao Liu quickly ran out.

"Squad leader!"

Xiao Liu ran up to the majestic man and said loudly.

"Xiao Liu, are you still used to it?"

Xu Long patted Xiaoliu on the shoulder, "It's not a simple job to stay in the station, you have to be vigilant at all times."

"Yes, monitor, the old monitor told me all about it, and taught me a lot."

"Okay, let's go inside and warm up."

Xu Long led the soldiers into the camp, and the temperature in the room immediately made everyone take off their hats and breathe the heat.

The old squad leader and Xiao Liu came to help and put away the backpack and weapons.

Half an hour later, everyone gathered around the stove to keep warm and eat pancakes.

Xu Long took a bite of the pancake, took a radish head from the jar in front, took a bite, it was crispy.

"Old squad leader, your pancake skills must be passed down."

The old squad leader also held pancakes, "Don't worry, it will definitely be passed on. I think Xiao Liu is good. The noodles are good."

"Yes, just pass it to Xiaoliu, and we'll just wait to eat the ready-made ones."

Xiao Zhuang on the side immediately echoed,
Xiao Liu quickly shook her head, "No, no, everyone must learn, I can't learn by myself."

"Especially Xiaozhuang, next time it will be you."

"No, I'm going to conquer the mountains, that's what I'm supposed to do."

"No, I have to keep you, and it's my turn."

Xu Long and his fellow veterans looked at the two young men and all smiled.

"No water?"

Seeing the water in the two thermos bottles being drunk, Xu Long asked.

The soldiers need to replenish the energy temperature after returning, and water is the fastest way.

It can only be heated to [-] or [-] degrees here, and it will turn into warm water after a short time in the sentry tower, and the soldiers can drink it quickly.

"have water."

Xiao Liu quickly ran to the side, and lifted the pressure cooker in front of everyone's eyes.

"Huh? Isn't this the pot handed over by the squad leader's house?"

One of them spoke suspiciously, Xu Long was also surprised.

At the beginning, the family made a lot of effort to send a pot. Although the shape was strange, they really didn't take it seriously.

Just toss it in the kitchen for later use.

However, it is just a pot, there is nothing to think about, just treat it as the concern of the family.

Xiao Liu had long remembered how to open it. First, he opened the exhaust valve, and a puff of white smoke came out, and then he twisted the cover hard.

In an instant, a burst of water mist emerged from the pot.

Everyone is not surprised.

Xu Long came to the front of the country, took the tea mug and scooped it into it.

The next moment, Xu Long suddenly felt that his arm was a little sore, but he didn't take it seriously.

Taking out a jar, Xu Long prepared to take a sip or two.

Unexpectedly, after the first mouthful, the tongue became numb in an instant.

blah blah blah

Xu Long opened his mouth wide, fanning the wind, sticking out his tongue, gasping for air hahaha.

Everyone was fooled by Xu Long's actions.

Xiao Liu was even more taken aback, looking at the pressure cooker on the ground with an ugly face.

"It's hot, it's burning me to death."

Xu Long talked with his tongue out, and the old squad leader at the side frowned when he saw Xiao Liu like this, "Can this temperature burn people?"

As he spoke, he scooped up a jar of water, ready to take a sip.

"Be careful."

Xu Long reminded that when the old squad leader stopped his hand and approached his lips, he could clearly feel the burning of the water.

This temperature is abnormal.

Slowly, he tasted a little more, and then the old squad leader spit out, and when he looked at the water in the pot again, his eyes were shocked.

"This, this water, boiled!"

In the station, there was silence.

Everyone looked at the squad leader and the old squad leader, they were in a daze, and the old squad leader yelled that the water was boiling, the water was boiling.

Of course the water boiled, wasn’t it the same way before?
What a shock.

The deputy squad leader, Leopard, frowned, glanced at the strange pot, took the pot from the old squad leader, and took it without waiting for the old squad leader's reminder.

噗噗
The leopard immediately stood up and spit out the water from his mouth, screaming, and ran outside the camp to find a pile of snow to bury his head in.

This time, the other soldiers in the room were stunned.

Xiao Liu was even more frightened and sat on the ground, feeling uneasy.

At this time, Xu Long and the old squad leader looked at each other, puzzled and unbelievable.

Suddenly the leopard outside ran in, with snow foam on its hair, its face was blue from the cold, its mouth was red, but its expression was very excited.

"This water is really hot."

After Leopard finished speaking, Xu Longyou took a sip and it was hot.

"Old squad leader, what do you think is going on with this water?"

"Xiao Liu, how did this water burn out?"

The old squad leader didn't answer. He looked at the hot water in the pot, but didn't realize that it was the pot. Instead, he asked Xiao Liu, thinking it was some special method.

Xiao Liu also came back to his senses and realized that there was nothing wrong, and was grateful for taking out a piece of paper from his pocket.

"Squad leader, old squad leader, this pot, I use this pot to boil water."

"pot?"

Only then did everyone turn their attention to the humble little pot.

Only then did Xu Long remember that this pot was handed over by his family last time?
At that time, I was still complaining psychologically, with the money to post such a big thing, I might as well send some food.

So after receiving the pot, I knocked it was an iron pot, but it was a bit small and not enough for use, so I threw it in a corner and didn't take it seriously.

"Yes, I went to the kitchen today and saw this thing, so I will pack it up."

Xiao Liu talked about how he did it, and then took the instruction manual and began to recite it.

"Pressure Cooker Instructions."

When Xiao Liu finished reading the instructions, the old monitor had already stood up.

"When the water is here, Xiaozhuang will get the noodles. Let's try it and we'll know."

Xu Long also stood up, "Old monitor, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you bring rice back last time? Let's stew rice."

Although other people don't understand what's going on in their hearts, the general meaning is still clear, that is, this pot can be used to cook cooked rice, not the kind of half-cooked mixed raw rice, it is true, cooked rice.

Hearing that the old squad leader was making rice, everyone was happy and immediately helped.

Koyanagi is responsible for using this pot.

No way, only he has experience.

They don't want to operate a pot that will 'explode'.

It was pitch black outside the station, but inside it was bustling around the stove.

After a while, the old squad leader put the rice into the pressure cooker, and then Xiao Liu began to add water, looking at the scale inside. After adding the water, under the gaze of everyone, he put the rubber ring, closed the lid tightly, and then adjusted the pressure valve.

Finally, put it on the stove.

Everyone is staring, everyone is waiting.

The entire resident was so quiet that only the sound of the wind outside could be heard. Suddenly someone opened his eyes wide and said, "It's moving."

Everyone looked and saw that the pressure valve on the pot was moving.

"Don't worry, this thing will deflate when it runs here."

Koyanagi has experience, and I will introduce it to everyone.

Everyone nodded, giving him a feeling of attention.

After a while, as Xiao Liu said, the pressure valve moved to the end, and steam rushed out from the exhaust valve, and a puff of water vapor rose in the room under the kerosene lamp.

Xiao Liu hurriedly squeezed the handle and took it off. After placing it on the ground, he pressed down the exhaust valve with a fire hook, and then the steam stopped.

Everyone stared at the pot on the ground again.

Xiao Liu picked up the instruction manual, "It says that it usually takes about 10 minutes to open."

"When opening, open the exhaust valve first, that's it, just let the air out."

So, 10 minutes later, Xu Long nodded, Xiao Liu lifted the exhaust valve, and the pot sprayed steam for a while.

Xiao Liu didn't open the lid until the steam stopped coming out.

In an instant, the aroma of rice wafted through the room.

In stark contrast with the cold air, it seems to have changed the world.

The old squad leader held the chopsticks, his arms trembling, picked a handful, and slowly put it into his mouth.

very hot.

But very soft.

It was overripe.

The old squad leader's eyes suddenly became moist.

"It's ripe, it's ripe."

After a moment of silence, everyone rushed up one after another, and Xu Long picked up a ball with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

Just like eating at home, delicious.

Several people saw the squad leader's expression of enjoyment, it was definitely not fake, and they didn't care about anything else, they immediately rushed up with chopsticks.

In an instant, more than a dozen chopsticks were fighting, and then they picked it up and put it in their mouths to lick.

"delicious."

"It's cooked, it's not hard, it's not raw rice."

"Save some for me, I still want to eat."

Everyone was arguing, but there was joy in their eyes.

"Old squad leader,"

"Old squad leader, cook this!"

Xu Long ran back to the house. As the chief officer of the station, he had his own separate room, which contained not only an emergency phone number, but also some personal belongings.

At this time, Xu Long came out from inside, holding a paper bag in his hand.

Everyone was surprised when they saw it, they all knew what was inside.

That was the beef jerky that the monitor brought back when he came back.

When welcoming Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhuang, they took out and ate a finger-sized beef strip each. That was the happiest moment for everyone.

After that, the package of beef was never eaten again.

The old squad leader took the beef jerky, opened it, and it was still the same as the last time he ate it, "I don't need so much, a small piece is enough. I can see that this pot depends on the last bit of gas."

"You wait, let's have a luxurious meal tonight."

Everyone applauded.
