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."

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