At this moment, her mind felt like there was a demon constantly tempting her, making Xiaoliu unable to help but want to give it a try.
He turned around and picked up the pot, wiped it clean with a rag, and played with it on the floor.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Liu frowned again after feeling out all the parts of the pot.
This pot has so many tricks, is it really a pot?
I looked at the big iron pot on the stove, it was for cooking.
I have more interest in my heart.
After Xiaoliu became familiar with it, he started experimenting.
If something goes wrong, this hidden danger can be eliminated for the resident.
"Add water first."
Xiaoliu followed the instructions carefully and stopped immediately after watching the water level reach.
"Then fix the rubber ring, then close the lid, and pay attention to the normal exhaust valve."
"This is the exhaust valve."
Xiaoliu blew with her mouth,
"Pressure valve?"
"Yes, it should be this."
Xiaoliu pushed the pressure valve to the fixed position.
"This is too troublesome. What kind of pot is it?"
When everything was done, Xiao Liu complained and put the pot on the stove.
Under the setting sun, on the mountainside, a row of people suddenly appeared in the view of the top of the mountain.
They lined up, and the people behind helped each other, climbing step by step towards the station.
The old squad leader on the sentry tower noticed it immediately and quickly called Xiaoliu to prepare something.
Xiaoliu agreed and turned around to prepare things.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Liu was carrying pancakes when she suddenly heard a squeaking sound from the pot on the stove.
Quickly putting down the pancake, Xiao Liu picked up the instruction manual and found the response to this situation.
"Return the pressure valve."
"Hey, why did this pressure valve end up here?"
Xiaoliu 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 stopped steaming, and Xiao Liu didn't care. The shouts of his companions could be heard outside the door, and the old squad leader went out to greet him.
Xiaoliu ran out quickly.
"Monitor!"
Xiaoliu ran up to the majestic man and said loudly.
"Xiao Liu, are you still getting used to it?"
Xu Long patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder, "Staying at the station is not a simple job. You have to be vigilant at all times."
"Yes, monitor. The old monitor told me everything and taught me many things."
"Okay, let's go inside and warm up."
Xu Long led the soldiers into the station. The temperature in the room immediately made everyone take off their hats and breathe in the warmth.
The old squad leader and Xiao Liu came over to help organize and put away the weapons in the backpack.
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 of him, took a bite, and it was crispy.
"Old squad leader, your pancake skills must be passed on to others."
The old squad leader also held pancakes and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely be passed down. I think Xiaoliu is good. The dough is good."
"Yes, just pass it to Xiaoliu, and we'll wait and eat it ready-made."
Xiaozhuang on the side immediately responded,
Xiaoliu shook her head quickly, "No, no, no, everyone has to learn it, I can't learn it alone."
"Especially Xiaozhuang, next time it will be you."
"No, I want to conquer the top of the mountain. That's what I should do."
"No, I have to keep you. It's my turn."
Xu Long and the other veterans looked at the two young men and all smiled.
"Out of water?"
Xu Long watched the water in the two thermos bottles being drunk and asked.
The soldiers need to replenish energy and temperature after returning, and water is the fastest way.
It can only be heated to 70 or 80 degrees here. It will turn into warm water within a short time after being placed in the sentry tower, and the soldiers will drink it quickly.
"have water."
Xiao Liu quickly ran to the side and moved the pressure cooker in front of everyone's eyes.
"Eh? Isn't this the pot that was handed over from the squad leader's house?"
One person spoke suspiciously, and Xu Long was also surprised.
My family put a lot of effort into delivering a pot. Although it had a strange shape, they really didn’t take it seriously.
Just throw it in the kitchen for later use.
However, it is just a pot, there is nothing to think about, just think of it as the concern of the family.
Xiaoliu had long remembered how to open it. First, he opened the exhaust valve, and a burst of white smoke came out, and then he twisted open the cover hard.
Instantly, a burst of water mist came out of the pot.
No one is surprised.
Xu Long came to the front of the country, took the tea jar and poured it into it.
The next moment, Xu Long suddenly felt a little soup in his arm, but he didn't take it seriously.
After taking out a jar, Xu Long prepared to take a few sips.
Unexpectedly, after taking the first sip, my tongue was instantly numb.
Bah bah bah
Xu Long opened his mouth, fanned the wind, stuck out his tongue, and breathed in cold air.
Everyone was confused by Xu Long's actions.
Xiaoliu was even more frightened, looking at the pressure cooker on the ground with an ugly face.
"It's hot, it's burning me to death."
Xu Long spoke loudly, and the old monitor on the side frowned when he saw Xiaoliu like this, "Can this temperature burn people?"
As he spoke, he also scooped up a jar of water and prepared to take a sip.
"careful."
Xu Long reminded, the old squad leader stopped his hand and then brought it close to his lips, he could clearly feel the burning of the water.
This temperature is not normal.
Slowly, I tasted a little more, and then the old squad leader spat out, and when he looked at the water in the pot again, his eyes were shocked.
"This, this water is boiling!"
There was silence in the station.
Everyone looked at the squad leader and the old squad leader. They were in a daze here. The old squad leader even shouted at the water to boil, and the water boiled.
Of course the water is boiling, wasn't it like this before?
Nothing to be shocked about.
Deputy squad leader Leopard frowned, glanced at the strange pot, took the jar from the old squad leader's hand, and poured it into the pot without waiting for the old squad leader to remind him.
Puff puff
The leopard immediately stood up and spit out the water in his mouth. He screamed and ran outside the camp to find a pile of snow and bury his head in it.
At this time, the other soldiers in the room were stunned.
Xiaoliu was so frightened that she sat on the ground, feeling uneasy.
At this time, Xu Long and the old squad leader looked at each other, confused and incredulous.
Suddenly, a leopard from outside ran in. There was snow foam in his hair. His face was blue from the cold and his mouth was red, but his expression was very excited.
"This water is really hot."
After Leopard finished speaking, Xu Longyou took a sip and it was hot.
"Old monitor, what do you think is going on with the water?"
"Xiao Liu, how did you boil this water?"
The old squad leader didn't answer. He looked at the hot water in the pot and didn't realize it was the pot's problem. Instead, he asked Xiao Liu what he thought was a special method.
Xiaoliu also came to his senses and realized that there was nothing wrong. He gratefully took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
"Squad leader, old squad leader, this pot is the one I use to boil water."
"pot?"
Only then did everyone focus on the inconspicuous little pot.
Xu Long then remembered that this pot was handed over by his family last time, wasn't it?
At that time, I was still mentally complaining that if I had the money to mail such a big thing, I might as well send some food.
So after receiving the pot, I knocked it and it was an iron pot. 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, so I put it away."
Xiaoliu talked about how he did it, then took the instruction manual and started to memorize it.
"Pressure Cooker Instructions."
By the time Xiaoliu finished reading the instructions, the old monitor had already stood up.
"Now that the water is here, Xiaozhuang will get some noodles. Let's try it and see if we can."
Xu Long also stood up, "Old monitor, what are you doing?"
"Didn't you bring back rice last time? Let's stew the rice."
Although other people don't understand what's going on, the general idea is still clear, that is, this pot can make cooked rice, not the kind of half-cooked rice with uncooked rice, but real cooked rice.
When they heard that the old squad leader was making rice, everyone was happy and immediately started to help.
Xiaoliu is responsible for using this pot.
There is no way, only he has experience.
They don't want to handle a pot that's going to explode.
It was pitch dark 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 started to add water, looking at the scale inside. After adding the water, with everyone watching, he put the rubber ring, closed the lid tightly, and then adjusted the pressure valve.
Finally, put it on the stove.
Everyone is watching, everyone is waiting.
The entire station was so quiet that only 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 comes here."
Xiaoliu has experience and will introduce it to everyone.
Everyone nodded, making him feel like they were attracting attention.
After a while, just as Xiaoliu said, the pressure valve moved to the end, gizzling steam rushed out from the exhaust valve, and a plume of water vapor rose in the room under the kerosene lamp.
Xiaoliu quickly grabbed the handle and took it off. After placing it on the ground, she used a fire hook to push down the exhaust valve, and then the steam stopped.
Everyone stared at the pot on the ground again.
Xiaoliu picked up the manual and said, "It says that it usually takes about ten minutes to open it."
"When opening it, first open the exhaust valve, that's it, and just let the air out."
So, ten minutes later, Xu Long nodded, Xiao Liu lifted the exhaust valve, and steam was sprayed in the pot for a while.
Xiao Liu didn't open the lid until the steam stopped coming out.
Instantly, the aroma of rice wafted through the room.
It was in stark contrast to the cold air, as if the world had changed.
The old squad leader picked up a handful with chopsticks, his arms trembling a little, and slowly put it into his mouth.
very hot.
But very soft.
This is ripe.
The old monitor's eyes suddenly became moist.
"It's ripe, it's ripe."
After a moment of silence, everyone came up one after another, and Xu Long even picked up a ball with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
Just like eating at home, delicious.
When several people saw the look of enjoyment on the squad leader's face, they were definitely not fake, and they didn't care about anything else, so they immediately rushed up with chopsticks.
In an instant, more than a dozen chopsticks were clattering and fighting, and then they were picked up and put in their mouths to lick.
"delicious."
"It's cooked, not hard, and it's not filled with raw rice."
"Save some for me, I still want to eat."
Everyone was noisy, but their eyes were full of joy.
"Old monitor,"
"Old squad leader, cook this!"
Xu Long ran back to the house. As the highest officer in the station, he had his own private room, which not only had emergency contact numbers but also some personal belongings.
At this time, Xu Long walked out of it, holding a paper bag in his hand.
Everyone was surprised when they saw it, and they all knew what was inside.
That's the beef jerky the squad leader brought when he came back.
When we welcomed Xiaoliu and Xiaozhuang, we took out a piece of beef strips the size of a finger for each person. That was the happiest moment for everyone.
After that, I never ate this package of beef again.
The old squad leader took the beef jerky and opened it, just as he had finished eating last time. "You don't need so much, a small piece is enough. I can see that this pot only relies on the last bit of energy."
