Chapter 37: Boiling Water and Broth

"Father!"

"Huh?"

In the firelight, the two of them stood, staring together at the place in front of them that was bursting with blue fire.

Mars had a bold idea, and then he called his father.

But Lawrence was a little fascinated by it, so he just kept watching.

Never before has the night been so reassuring.

So Lawrence watched very intently, until Mars called him.

"Father, shall we try boiling water with this thing?"

"Boil water?"

"It's just to take the box left over from the eggs of the octopus we ate earlier and bake them on top of it, so that the water tastes even better. ”

Mars and his father were giving some explanations, but Lawrence was a little dizzy.

But soon he also remembered a previous experience he had had.

"Mars, are you saying that these things make water hot, as described in the stories I told you before?"

"Yes, father, this thing is very hot, and if you let it bake that tin box all the time, it will get hot, and the water inside will get hot. ”

Mars gave his father a continuing explanation.

As a person who knows a little bit about everything, it is really difficult to describe this thing to a person who has not seen it.

But if you don't explain it to your father, it's easy for an old father who loves him deeply to have a trance.

I think this weird child who can do anything, and will not be his own son.

That's not good.

So Mars tried his best to explain what he knew in a way that he could understand.

Mars's explanation was very simple, and it made Lawrence understand why Mars did what he did.

Water can get very hot, Lawrence has seen it before, and he told it to Mars as a story.

But that was before, and now Mars knows a lot more, because he knows a little bit of it.

The water can get very hot, especially during the day, put some water in a puddle on the moving island, after a day of sunbathing, it will be very hot, but there will be a lot less water, which is very wasteful.

But now that Mars has this idea, then Lawrence will do what his son thinks.

So Lawrence agreed.

Mars saw that his father agreed and went to bring all three canned rice boxes.

In the process, Mars spoke his thoughts, and Lawrence gave advice.

If you do it this way, even if the two of you are involved together.

Mars let the jet's mouth close first.

Then start preparing a makeshift stove here.

It's just a little bit smaller.

He first built a space on top of the reef where he could make a fire, and put three cans on it.

After fixing these, leave an outlet for ventilation next to the box.

Although biogas is a very clean product after combustion, it also needs to be flowed to make it burn more violently.

The canned box was put away.

Mars made a small vent under each of the corresponding cans.

With such a cautery of three flames, the temperature must be enough.

When doing this, although it was all Mars's idea, he kept giving advice to his father, and then Lawrence nodded on the side, and in the end it was Mars who did it.

However, Lawrence also found himself in the middle of it.

Such a process is still very good.

After doing this, Mars first added water to all three canned boxes, which was not a lot, because this was the first experiment, and he wanted to see the effect.

The pot above the stove is ready.

Mars began to light the fire.

This time there was experience in ignition, and Mars opened a jet port first.

Then click on it and open the remaining two.

It's safe, and it's fast.

When the three blue flames burned to the bottom of the iron box, Mars began to wait.

Now it was completely dark around them, and Mars had made a large hearth to keep out the wind, so that only one of the entrances could see a little light, and the rest of the area was still dark.

However, don't underestimate such a little light, even if it looks weak, but a little bit of it can illuminate the neighborhood so that people can see things.

Even if it's vague, it can give people the feeling of being able to see.

"Father, shall we put the fish in it and let it heat up. ”

Mars made a suggestion, and at the same time he had already started to take four pieces of dried fish that had been dried during the day.

Lawrence could only nod his head as he looked at his son's approach.

Once the fish are in there, Mars doesn't care, just let them boil on their own.

However, the temperature of the flame does not seem to be enough, and the process of burning is anxious.

Time went on, and in the darkness of the night, both men watched curiously, and Mars waited for its success.

Finally, the sound of boiling water came.

That voice, it sounds really wonderful.

When Mars saw it at this time, he happily took local materials and made tools out of sea reefs.

Heating iron boxes could not be reached directly by hand, so Mars made stone shovels and similar chopsticks.

Carefully forced, he took the iron boxes of boiling water aside and let them cool down first, while Mars stopped the two jets.

The remaining vent, Mars, started to make it bigger, so that more methane would come out, the temperature would be higher, and the meat would be able to stew enough.

Lawrence kept staring at the iron box, where the hot water was still steaming, exactly like what he had seen before.

But he found that the water in the iron box was not much less.

This made him a little relieved, as long as he accepted the range, it was okay to make such an attempt.

"Father, the temperature of this water is about the same, why don't you try it?"

"Good!"

The two men each took a canned box, and then one took a sip.

The water is still a little warm, and when you drink it in your stomach, it feels like your whole body is heating up all of a sudden.

It's very pleasant.

Mars drank and took a sip, not because the water was so good, but because he had been doing things all the time, and he was already a little thirsty.

"Mars, the water in this box is running so fast that it's already boiling, or stop it!"

Lawrence drank his own water, glanced at the canned box of stew, and said worriedly.

It was at this time that Mars realized that the stew had not been covered without a lid.

It is very convenient to know your own ability, but I just didn't think of it.

So Mars continued to make it out of sea reefs, and a lid with a handle was made.

With a little more water, Mars covered the canned box so that the meat could be cooked more easily in a hot environment.
