Chapter 198: Build a stove and start a stove

When the group returned to the camp, they found that several large tables had been set up on the edge of the camp, with golden and crispy fritters, snow-white and pink buns, and slender and smooth noodles...... All kinds of breakfast snacks exude a variety of tempting scents, and the morning breeze in the mountains continues to drift outside.

"Goo-goo-goo-goo-goo......-goo

"Didn't you say we had to prepare our own breakfast? Why did you eat it like that? A group of young people looked at the fragrant breakfast on the large tables in front of them, and their Adam's apple shook for a while, and mouthfuls of saliva began to form from their mouths.

At this time, the old men were chewing breakfast and drinking soy milk, sitting by the lake with a leisurely face, watching the rising sun in the east, and chatting happily.

They had already seen the boys coming back slowly, but no one paid any attention to them, and when their hungry voices sounded, and they heard someone muttering quietly, the old men looked at each other with a smile on their faces.

"You stinky boys! Let you pick up a firewood and go for two hours! If it weren't for the thoughtful thinking that prepared breakfast for us, and when you came back to make a fire and cook, we old men would have starved to death by you! Shangguan Zhenguo bit down half of the steamed bun, even if he spoke, he was reluctant to put the bun in his hand first.

The food on these tables is made with rice noodles and other ingredients that are happily taken from the Sanjin space, so whether it is noodles, pastries, fritters, bread, etc. The taste is first-class, but Shangguan Zhenguo is the only one who loves happy buns, and when you take a bite, the rich and hot soup is called a enjoyment!

Looking at the group of little rabbit cubs in front of him with a restrained face, looking left and right as if they didn't know what to do, Zhou Shaojie's grandfather Zhou Xiaochuan immediately laughed and scolded: "Why are you still stunned?" Why don't you wash your hands and eat! You're going to be busy here later! ”

"Huh? Oh, yes! When a group of young people heard that they also had something to eat, they immediately smiled and gave a nondescript military salute to the old men. Then he ran to the lake to wash his hands.

"Hey! You brutes! Don't help me take it down first! Hey, don't run! Help me get these things down first! Seeing that the gang of guys in front of him all ran to the lake to wash their hands, Zhou Shaojie, who was behind the most man, suddenly shouted angrily, "Brothers, little brother, I can't do it if I'm wrong." Do you want to untie my hands first? ”

At this time, a group of old men saw Zhou Shaojie, who had been blocked by everyone before.

I saw that his whole body was covered with woven bags filled with firewood. He wears a straw hat made of dogtail grass on his head. There are two red and bright moon flowers on the left and right, and his face is even more red and black, and his hands are high on both sides of his head, fixed by two wooden sticks, and he can't put it down if he wants to. This appearance is even more miserable than the traitors who were paraded through the streets back then.

saw Zhou Shaojie's embarrassed appearance. Even a group of old men already knew from Wu Yaobang's mouth that this kid would end up like this, but they still showed a smile one after another, even Zhou Xiaochuan, who was a grandfather, saw his grandson like this. I also turned my head away with a laugh and scolding, I don't want to look at it anymore, it's a shame!

Fortunately, Wu Xiaosong still had a conscience, and he still came over to loosen his ties at the critical moment.

"Hey! Wu Fat, at the critical moment, your brother still has a conscience! Zhou Shaojie said with a grateful face, "If you want to go back to something, just look for me, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, brother has absolutely nothing to say!" ”

When Wu Xiaosong heard this, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "This dare is good!" Go back and help me get another batch of loans! It doesn't take a lot, just get a billion casually! ”

"......" Zhou Shaojie didn't come up in one breath, and he was almost suffocated to death by himself! He looked at Wu Xiaosong with a sigh, took a deep breath, and showed a resolute look on his face, "Then you better tie me back!" ”

Wu Xiaosong: "......"

When the boys had eaten and drunk enough and rested for a while, the old men began to shout and direct them to start working in the open space at the edge of the camp.

Since it's camping, it's natural to have a picnic.

Speaking of picnics, many young people may not know about it now.

When barbecue was a convenient leisure activity, picnic as an ancient way of outdoor leisure was loved and sought after by many people.

But for these old men who were born in the army, they still like to choose picnics, after all, when they were marching and fighting, when they were stationed in the field, they used this way to solve the problem of three meals a day. At this time, only in this way can they find a little bit of the eventful years of the year.

Since you have to have a picnic, you have to build a few stoves.

So, this group of young people who have never cooked on a fire since they were born, and who have never played any picnics, started the first action of building a stove in their lives under the scolding of their old man.

"You little bunny! When I was a child, I played with building blocks quite slippery, why did I grow up and become more and more stupid?! An old man looked at the stove built by his grandson, pointed to his nose and scolded bitterly, "I asked you to build a stove, why are you building a pyramid for me?!" There is a little gap in the middle, where will the firewood be put later? Where to put the iron pot? Give me a new one! ”

At the same time, another old man was also pointing at his grandson's head with a look of hatred: "You are stupid! Build the stove tightly and unventilated, and when the iron pot is covered later, where are you going to stuff firewood?! You won't leave an opening! ”

Listening to the scolding of several old men in his ears, Zhou Shaojie's face couldn't help but show a hint of a smile: You inhuman guys, finally have time for retribution! Hey, you deserve it!

Seeing the schadenfreude smile floating on his grandson's face, for some reason Zhou Xiaochuan always felt an urge to take a shoehorn and smoke him, so he glared at Zhou Shaojie. Said: "What? Are you done? ”

"Of course it's over! Look! Zhou Shaojie immediately pointed to his stove with a slanderous face and said, with a hint of self-satisfaction in his expression.

Zhou Xiaochuan glanced at the stove in front of Zhou Shaojie, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.

If you want to build a stable stove, the choice of stone is the key, not the kind of stone that is too sleek, so it is easy to slip, but should try to choose the kind of square stone, and the bottom stone should be the largest, and then the top can be reduced.

This type of stove is called the three-stone stove, which is the simplest and oldest type of stove.

In this respect. Zhou Shaojie, this kid is quite a bit talented in building stoves, the stones selected meet the requirements of building a stove, and the height is just right, after putting the iron pot, the distance between the bottom of the pot and the bottom of the stove is exactly the distance that the outer flame can reach after the firewood burns. At the same time, he was one of the few people who had to set aside a hole for firewood.

Zhou Shaojie paid attention to the stoves built by several other young people around him, and there was a second young man who had to create a stove full of "artistry". The stones chosen are all smooth and smooth pebbles. Your sister, if this can be built, my brother will have your surname!

After glancing around, Zhou Shaojie found that no one's stove was as good as his, and he couldn't help but feel stunned for a while, when he saw his grandfather after seeing his stove. The slightly moved face, the kind of deedness in my heart is even stronger.

"How? Grandpa, it's not bad! Zhou Shaojie said with a smile.

As a result, he didn't expect Zhou Xiaochuan to snort coldly after taking a look. He said expressionlessly: "It's the southeast wind hanging today, you said that you opened the opening for firewood in the northwest, do you want to eat cigarette ash all the way?!" ”

"Uh......" Zhou Shaojie looked down at the stove, and a gust of wind swirled past his feet, which immediately blew away his heart. Ay! It's all tears!

Half an hour later, all the stoves of the young people were built, and a group of old men began to form a group to evaluate, and then people found out that the happy kid didn't know when he actually appeared on the edge of the camp with Li Muxue and Ye Tingting, and secretly built a stove!

It's just that the stove that is happily built is different from that of the young people.

Most of the young people chose to use local materials to build a stove with stones on the river beach, and they were happy, so they actually inserted two branches with branches on the ground, put a wooden stick in the middle, and then hung an iron pot on the beam, so it was a stove!

"Isn't it? That's okay?! A group of young people looked at the proposed stove and their eyes widened.

"Why not?" A group of old men glared at them in unison, and the old man Shangguan said with a smile, "This is called a hanging stove, and it is also a stove that we often used when we marched and fought in the past, which is convenient and fast, even if we can't find a suitable stone, it doesn't matter!" ”

Happy smile: "My iron pot can only boil some soup and the like, if you really want to stir-fry, you have to make a few stoves that can be fixed." ”

After some evaluation by the old man, five stoves were finally selected, including the hanging stove of Happy.

As a reward, the four finalists who passed could stay in the camp to rest for a short time, while the other young men who were trapped by him were forced out by the old men, and they had to rush to the vegetable greenhouse to pick the vegetables and fruits used for today's picnic.

In order to prevent these little rabbit cubs from being lazy halfway and let the staff of the farm do it for them, several old men also made a special trip to accompany them all the way and monitor the whole process.

An hour later, the group of young people picking vegetables returned with a basket full of vegetables.

At this time, the sun was shining, and the time had reached nine o'clock unconsciously, and the old man Shangguan touched the firewood piled on the side, and saw that the firewood contaminated by the morning moisture had also been dried: "Well, you can make a fire!" ”

The old men each picked up a pile of firewood, gathered all the dead leaves on it, and put it down in the stove.

The old men carefully lit the fire, then took a small wooden stick and carefully picked up the pile of dead leaves, so that the dead leaves burned as fully as possible, and then carefully placed a few small dead branches on the side of the fire.

This fire is definitely a technical work, and the heart is too anxious to put the firewood too fast, and it is easy to extinguish the small flame that has just risen; If the speed is too slow, wait until the dead leaves are almost burned and then put in the branches, I am afraid that before the branches burn, the dead leaves will be burned out.

The old men seemed to be veterans of fire, and after setting the dead leaves on fire, they put a few small branches on the side. First, the small branches are small and easy to burn; The second is to keep them as close to the fire as possible and raise the temperature, which can reduce the time it takes for the branches to ignite.

As the dead leaves ignited, a puff of green smoke rose from the stove, and a resin-scented smoke rose from the lake, then slowly drifted through the air.

Along with this smoke rose in the hearts of everyone, there was a faint smell of life.

PS: It's the end of the month, and it seems to be double the monthly pass time! Is it possible to get a commuter pass? (To be continued......)
