Chapter 652 The water is boiling
At this moment, it was like a devil was constantly tempting her in her heart, making Xiao Liu unable to help but want to try it.
He turned around and picked up the pot, wiped it clean with a rag, and then played with it on the ground.
After waiting for a while and feeling out all the parts of the pot, Xiaoliu frowned again.
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 feel more interested.
Slowly, after Xiaoliu became familiar with it, he began to experiment.
If something goes wrong, this hidden danger can be eliminated for the resident.
“Add water first.”
Xiaoliu carefully operated according to the instructions and stopped immediately after watching the water level reach.
"Then fix the rubber ring, then close the lid, and pay attention to the exhaust valve."
"This is the exhaust valve."
Xiao Liu used his mouth Blow,
"Pressure valve?"
"Yes, it should be this."
Xiaoliu pushed the pressure valve to the fixed position.
"This is too troublesome. What kind of pot."
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 and climbed to the station step by step.
The old squad leader on the sentry tower noticed it immediately and quickly called Xiaoliu to prepare something.
Xiao Liu agreed and turned around to prepare things.
Ten minutes later, Xiaoliu was carrying pancakes when he suddenly heard the sound of the pot on the stove making a squeaking sound.
Hurrying down the pancake, Xiao Liu picked up the instruction manual and found the response to this situation.
"Return the pressure valve to its original position."
"Hey, why did this pressure valve end up here?"
Xiaoliu was surprised, but quickly returned the pressure valve to its original position according to the instructions, and then The pot was taken off the stove and set 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.
Xiao Liu ran out quickly.
"Squad leader!"
Xiao Liu 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 stay vigilant at all times."
"Yes. , monitor, and old monitor all told me and taught me a lot.”
"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, sorting out 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, took a bite, and it was crispy.
"Old squad leader, your skill in pancakes must be passed down."
The old squad leader also held pancakes and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely pass it on. I think Xiaoliu is good. The dough is good."
“Yes, pass it to Xiao Just Liu, we’ll just wait to eat the ready-made ones.”
Xiao Zhuang immediately responded,
Xiao Liu quickly shook his head, “No, no, no, everyone must learn, I can’t learn alone. .”
"Especially Xiaozhuang, it will be you next time."
"No, I want to conquer the top of the mountain, that's what I should do."
"No, I must If you stay, it will be my turn."
Xu Long and the other veterans looked at the two young men and all smiled.
“No one left?”
Xu Long looked at the water in the two thermos bottles being drunk and asked.
The soldiers need to replenish their energy and temperature after returning, and drinking water is the fastest way.
Here it can only be heated to 70 or 80 degrees Celsius. It will turn into warm water soon after being placed in the sentry tower, and the soldiers will drink it quickly.
"There is water."
Xiao Liu quickly ran to the side and lifted the pressure cooker in front of everyone's eyes.
"Eh? Isn't this the pot handed over from the monitor's house?"
One person said 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.
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.
In an instant, a burst of water mist came out of the pot.
No one is surprised.
Xu Long came to the pot, took the teapot 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 bite, my tongue went numb instantly.
Bah, bah, bah
Xu Long spat out 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 scalding me to death.”
Xu Long said with a big tongue, and the old monitor on the side frowned when he saw Xiaoliu like this, “Can this temperature also burn people?”
As he said that, he also scooped up a jar of water and prepared to take a sip.
“Be 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. 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 that the water was boiling, and the water was boiling.
Of course the water is boiling, wasn’t it like this before?
What’s so shocking.
The deputy squad leader Leopard frowned, glanced at the strange pot, took the jar from the old squad leader's hand, and drank it without waiting for the old squad leader to remind him.
Puff
The leopard immediately stood up and spit out the water in his mouth. He screamed and ran outside the station to find a pile of snow and bury his head in it.
At this moment, the other soldiers in the room were stunned.
Xiao Liu 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 ran in from outside, with 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 Long took another sip, it was piping hot.
"Old squad leader, what do you think is going on with this water?"
"Xiao Liu, how did this water boil?"
The old squad leader didn't answer, take a look The hot water in the pot did not realize that it was a problem with the pot. Instead, he asked Xiao Liu what special method he thought it was.
Xiaoliu also came to his senses and realized that it was not a mistake, so he quickly took 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 focus on On the humble 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 complaining in my mind 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, 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, so I put it away."
Xiao Liu said how he made it, and then took the instruction manual and started to memorize it.
"Pressure Cooker Manual."
By the time Xiaoliu finished reading the instructions, the old squad leader had already stood up.
"The water is here, Xiaozhuang gets the noodles, let's try it and we will know."
Xu Long also stood up, "Old squad leader, what are you doing?"
"Didn't you bring back rice last time? Let’s stew the rice.”
Although others 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. Yes, cooked rice.
When they heard that the old squad leader was making rice, everyone was happy and immediately started to help.
Xiao Liu is responsible for using this pot.
No way, only he has experience.
They don’t want to handle a pot that can ‘explode’.
It was 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, he put the rubber ring in place, closed the lid tightly, and adjusted the pressure valve while everyone was watching.
Finally, put it on the stove.
Everyone stared and everyone was waiting.
The entire station 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 comes here."
Xiao Liu 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 stream of water vapor rose in the room under the kerosene lamp.
Xiao Liu quickly grabbed the handle and took it off. After placing it on the ground, he used a fire hook to push down the exhaust valve, and then the steam stopped.
Everyone stared at the pot on the ground again.
Xiao Liu picked up the manual and said, "It says that it usually takes about ten minutes to open."
"When opening, open the exhaust valve first, that's it, to exhaust the air. That’s it.”
So, ten minutes later, Xu Long nodded, Xiaoliu 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 is in sharp contrast with the cold air, as if the world has changed.
The old squad leader took the chopsticks, his arms were shaking a little, picked a handful, and slowly put it into his mouth.
Very hot.
But very soft.
This is cooked through.
The old squad leader’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.
It’s just like what you eat at home, it’s 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, a dozen chopsticks were snapping and fighting, and then they were picked up and put in their mouths to lick.
“It’s delicious, it’s delicious.”
“It’s cooked, not hard, it’s not filled with raw rice.”
“Leave some for me, I still want to eat it.”
Everyone was noisy, but their eyes were full of joy.
"Old squad leader,"
"Old squad leader, cook this!"
Xu Long ran back to the house. As the highest officer of the station, he had his own A separate room with not only an emergency phone number 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 pack of beef again.
The old squad leader took the beef jerky and opened it, still looking like he had finished eating last time, "You don't need so much, just a small piece is enough. I can see that this pot relies on the last one." That’s a little angry.”
"Just wait, let's have a luxurious meal tonight."
Everyone cheered.
