Chapter 653 We need this kind of pot
Xu Long stared at the pot, thinking, where did the pot come from at home?
It must not have been prepared in advance, otherwise it would not have taken the effort to post it.
Could it be the latest research and development?
Xu Long thought about various possibilities, and finally looked at the pot again.
No matter what, this matter must be told to superiors.
Let more residents have access to cooked meals.
His eyes were firm, and then he watched the old squad leader start tinkering, and immediately pushed forward. He also wanted to see clearly so that he could explain carefully to his superiors.
"Get dressed. Open the window soon and let in some oxygen. Don't suffocate us to death."
The old squad leader said, already looking for a knife.
At night, everyone gathered around the pot, eyes wide open.
“Give it all, it’s out of the pot, it’s out of the pot!”
The old monitor said, looking at the deflated pot with a proud expression.
There is no pot that he cannot use.
Xiao Liu opened it immediately. The moment he took the lid off, the aroma of meat came to his face.
"Porridge, meat porridge!"
Sniffing...
Sniffing...
The sound was louder than the wind outside the house.
No one thought there would be such a meal.
Ever since the seniors took over the station, they have known the hardships here and the sadness here.
They were mentally prepared and even devoted themselves to construction with the lofty ideals of revolution.
For this reason, do not be afraid of hardships and sacrifices.
But now...
The old squad leader looked at Xu Long with a moved expression.
"Squad leader, where did you get this pot?"
Everyone looked at it together.
Xu Long shook his head, "I don't know, the mail order was handed over by my third uncle."
"It may be the latest product."
Xu Long guessed , "Tomorrow, I'll call the captain and tell him, maybe he knows."
The old squad leader nodded, "If it's a new product, it's a good thing for us."
"Eat well and eat well, and your combat effectiveness will increase by 20%."
哐丁哐丁
The car slowly stopped.
Yang Xiaotao got up from his seat. The carriage was dark and he could only see the figures in the distance.
He stood close to the window and looked at the moonlight. He glanced at his watch. It read three-twenty-five.
Looking outside with squinted eyes.
It was dark and the outline could not be seen clearly, but the wind around it was quite strong.
“It’s been a day and a night, where have we been?”
I was at a loss, and the little knowledge about the land in my mind had long been washed away by the huge land area.
When I first left Jin Gao, I still had some local impressions in my mind.
But after walking for a long time and not seeing the village, Yang Xiaotao felt a little confused.
"Team Leader Shen, are you here?"
In the dark night, someone asked.
At the door, a match was struck, lighting up the dark night.
"Halfway gone."
Shen Rong didn't say where, just that there was still half left.
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao leaned against the window, tightened his clothes, took out a kettle from his backpack, and took two sips.
Xiao Wei is getting her head out of her pocket.
“It’s still early, let’s sleep a little longer.”
Yang Xiaotao pushed Xiaowei back into his pocket, and Liu Daming's voice came from beside him.
"Yes, let's sleep a little longer!"
No one had the desire to speak, and everyone lay on their chairs, silent.
This road is more desolate than what I saw when I came to Jingao.
“This time, it’s much better than when we came.”
Shen Rong suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
“When we came, there were no trains at that time.”
“I took the train for two days and two nights, then got off the train and got on the bus again, and ran for two more days. God.”
“Hey. Two days later, I switched to horses again. At that time, it was the first time I rode a horse, and my thighs were so raw that I lay on them in pain. I walked in the wind and sand for three days. "
" Finally, we’ve arrived.”
"But there is nothing to live in if it catches the eye. If the wood is inserted into the ground, it will not block the wind or rain..."
Shen Rong said, and the carriage was quiet.
Clang, clang
The train starts again.
There was a twitching sound from behind.
Yang Xiaotao knew that it was Liu Daming...
...
At dawn, Xu Long's eyes were bloodshot. He got up and washed his face with cold water. The old squad leader had already started cooking.
The pressure cooker is used.
Walked to the house, picked up the phone, thought for a moment and called.
At noon.
A group of people climbed up from the mountain to the station.
The leader has a long face and one eye, with a scar on his mouth.
We don’t wear masks or scarves even in cold weather.
Just walked up carelessly.
"Captain!"
Xu Long led everyone to stand at attention and salute.
The captain glanced at it, then walked up to the old squad leader and put down his hand, "Old squad leader, you are in good health."
"Captain Li, okay, always. Everything is fine!"
Captain Li nodded and walked to the station with the guards behind him.
Xu Long quickly waited for people to go in.
Then I saw Captain Li sitting next to the stove, stretching out his hand to warm the fire.
Xu Long walked in and heard Captain Li speak.
“Your call alarmed the entire stay behind, and it scared me into a cold sweat.”
“Old Du has sounded the battle alarm and is ready to support you. Tell me it’s For a pot.”
Bangdang
Captain Li took out the stove with a fire hook, and the fire became strong.
Xu Long was very respectful to Captain Li. Regardless of their family connections and backgrounds, here, he relied on his real skills and fought bloody battles in the rain of bullets.
Facing Captain Li, he has nothing to be proud of.
"Captain, it is indeed a pot."
"But..."
"It's useless to talk so much. Xiao Wang!"
Captain Li didn't listen and just waved to the guard. The guard Xiao Wang smiled and took it out of his arms. A wild rabbit.
"Squad Leader Xu, we met on patrol the day before yesterday. We were originally waiting for you to come back to greet us, but now it's ahead of schedule." As he said this, the old squad leader went out to pick up the wild rabbits.
"Tell me, where did this pot come from."
Xu Long sat aside and handed over the pot full of hot water, and then talked about what happened.
Captain Li knows Xu Long’s background and his character.
These disciple soldiers value honor higher than life and cannot tolerate tarnishment.
“Try it, if it’s true!”
Captain Li didn't say anything, but just squeezed the hand holding the fire hook harder.
Soon, the hare was cleaned up, the meat was picked out, the bones were chopped, and pieces were put into the pressure cooker.
Afterwards, Xiaoliu took over the glorious task of operation and followed the instructions step by step, while everyone watched again.
The stove turned off the new briquettes, and the flames burst out. The thin oxygen did not allow it to burn at full power, but the heat was enough to boil the water.
Twenty minutes later, the pressure valve of the pressure cooker began to move, and Xiaoliu was ready.
Half an hour later, the pressure valve reached its maximum point and the steam valve was pushed open. Xiaoliu took off the pressure cooker, then returned the pressure valve to its original position and closed the steam valve at the same time.
An hour later, Xiaoliu opened the steam valve and steam spurted out.
After a while, Xiao Liu opened the pot, and the rich aroma of meat filled the place.
Captain Li glanced at it, picked up the chopsticks and inserted them inside.
The chopsticks penetrate the rabbit meat directly and smoothly.
Apparently, the meat was rotten.
You can't do this even at the foot of the mountain, let alone here.
Captain Li inserted a piece of meat and threw it directly into his mouth without fear of burning it.
Then he chewed heavily, the meat was hot in his mouth and his tongue swirled, but it was bitten to pieces.
After swallowing it in one gulp, Captain Li felt relieved.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Captain Li said three good words in a row, and then the old squad leader took a spoon and took a bowl of soup and put it in the lunch box, and Captain Li walked into the room with it.
Xu Long quickly took the lunch box and went in together.
After the two left, other people immediately gathered around and gathered in a circle in front of the pressure cooker, each holding a lunch box and pancakes in their hands.
The old squad leader divided the rabbit meat and soup, and everyone enjoyed the pancakes soaked in them.
"Old squad leader, this pot of yours is really amazing. You have to keep this pot here when you wait for the rotation."
Xiao Wang was eating rabbit meat and drinking hot soup, his body was warm. Extremely emotional.
Next time, it will be the captain's rotation here, so he will naturally come with him.
Thinking of the old days of eating raw rice and drinking half-boiled water, those days were really hard.
Even going to the toilet is a pain.
"Don't worry, this good thing will definitely stay with us. No one can take it away."
The old squad leader smiled, and everyone cheered.
What they want is very simple, just to have a hot meal.
In the room, Captain Li put down his lunch boxes, discussed for a while, then picked up the phone and called the base directly.
The person who answered the phone was the deputy captain. After a brief exchange between the two, the deputy captain hung up with some doubts and then reported to his superiors.
Team Li hung up the phone and spoke to Xu Long solemnly.
"According to the address you mentioned, someone will be arranged to investigate."
"If it is from a foreign country, there is nothing we can do. We will thank him. The pot will be left here for use. "
"If it is a new domestic product, it can be regarded as solving the big problem of eating. You will be considered a meritorious service this time!"
Li team analyzed that Xu Long did not. So much excitement.
Because if it is the first type, it will make him lose face. Everyone is the same, and he will not be special.
"Captain Li, if it's the first type, I want to give this pressure cooker to the company and send it to places that need it more."
Captain Li glanced at Xu Long and nodded silently.
“Okay.”
“Yes, thank you, leader.”
"Thank you, this is what you should be doing."
"I still hope it is the second type. Our soldiers need this kind of pot! The motherland also needs this kind of pot."
Captain Li looked out the window leisurely at the mountains, the great rivers and mountains, and how many good men he was.
The train swayed through the night and into the light.
The people in the car didn’t know how long they had been walking or where they were.
Finally, it stopped again.
Through the windows, everyone could see the scene clearly.
This time, there were people around.
The wind blew across the low building's gray-yellow earthen walls, bringing up a layer of fine sand.
People, both men and women, wear headscarves to protect themselves from the wind and sand.
Yang Xiaotao looked at it for a while and determined that it was the westernmost one.
Because the people here are so recognizable.
"Come on, one for each person."
Shen Rong suddenly spoke, and a soldier took out a handful of cloth strips and began to distribute them to everyone.
After Yang Xiaotao took it, Shen Rong demonstrated in front, and then everyone wrapped their heads.
"Follow everyone, let's get off the train!"
After saying that, the group took their luggage and followed them off the train.
The surrounding area was empty, with no soldiers to greet them and no cars.
Shen Rong was in front, and the people behind quickly followed.
Four soldiers helped carry the things and came outside the station.
"This way!"
Shen Rong shouted, and Yang Xiaotao saw five trucks in front of him.
“I have to ride a truck again. My bones are dying.”
Liu Daming rubbed his waist and frowned.
"Gong Liu, you regret it. It would have been nice to go back with Gong Hou."
Yang Xiaotao went over to help carry the luggage.
“Bah, it’s hard for me to go out in this life. If I don’t take a good look, I will regret it when I go back.”
“My grandchildren are waiting for me to tell them stories. I can’t tell Besides taking the train, they should take a car."
Yang Xiaotao smiled and the two came to the truck.
After just one glance, he frowned.
Because there are gasoline cans inside the car, there isn't much space.
“Comrades, get in the car.”
“This is a convoy transporting water, let’s take a ride.”
After hearing this, everyone had no choice but to get in the car. .
Yang Xiaotao sent Liu Daming to the passenger seat, then ran into the car and found a place to sit down.
Everyone found their own places, and five minutes later, the convoy set off.
After a while, Shen Rong also came up and sat next to Yang Xiaotao.
"This is a water pump. It takes more than ten hours to get there."
"A dozen?"
Yang Xiaotao looked at the time, it was nine o'clock in the morning. , it would be eight or nine o'clock to get there. If I hadn't eaten something on the train, this day would have been difficult.
