Chapter 44 Magical Self-heating Hot Pot
Night fell over the military camp. The moonlight shone like a veil, but was cut into pieces by the shadows of the tents.
Bonfires were burning in spots between the tents, sparks dancing gently in the breeze, occasionally making crackling sounds, as if telling stories on the battlefield.
Patrolling soldiers shuttled between the tents, their figures appearing and disappearing in the firelight, their armor reflecting a cold light.
Li Ji paced back and forth in front of the military doctor's tent, his expression slightly hesitant. His boots made a slight "puffing" sound on the slightly damp ground.
The infuriating lamp in front of the military doctor's tent swayed in the wind, and the dim light flickered with it, as if it was peeking into Li Ji's thoughts.
He stopped from time to time and listened attentively to the laughter coming from inside the tent.
The laughter seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet and somewhat serious night of the military camp, making his already nervous mood even more intense.
Finally, he took a deep breath, as if mustering up great courage, and shouted into the tent, "Is Doctor Hao here?"
Doctor Hao is the leader of the 112 military doctors who came from Xianyang.
The military doctor's tent area was filled with a faint herbal aroma, which was the smell left by the medicines they brewed every day.
The lights in the tent were bright, projecting everyone's figures onto the tent walls, forming a series of swaying pictures.
They had just solved a minor cold medicine problem that had troubled the army for a long time. At this moment, everyone in the tent was immersed in the joy of success, and the atmosphere was very warm.
When Doctor Hao heard a familiar voice calling him from outside the tent, he couldn't help but frown, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He slowly stood up and walked out of the tent.
As soon as Doctor Hao walked out of the tent, one could not tell what was happening.
Standing outside the tent was none other than General Li Ji! No wonder his voice sounded so familiar!
In the dim moonlight, Li Ji's armor shone with a cold and hard metallic luster, and his figure appeared tall and majestic.
Doctor Hao was startled and quickly bent down, ready to pay his respects, his heart filled with awe.
The general is here in person, there must be something important!
However, Li Ji stepped forward and grabbed him.
Doctor Hao looked up in surprise and looked at Li Ji, his eyes full of confusion: "General, what's going on? Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Doctor Hao is not very old, and looks to be just over thirty years old. He has an upright posture, a handsome face, and a somewhat elegant air.
He stood there, his clothes fluttering in the wind.
Li Ji had been through many battles, and the years had left deep marks on his face. At this moment, facing this junior who was younger than his son, the unspeakable feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He looked at Doctor Hao's young face, and glanced at the vague gazes of the soldiers around him. He felt mixed emotions. After all, what he was about to do was really embarrassing.
In this military camp, the hierarchy is strict. As a general, he came here just to satisfy his appetite, which is really beneath his dignity.
The surrounding tents stood in silence, as if silently judging him.
When Doctor Hao saw that Li Ji didn't say anything and just had a strange look on his face, he became even more confused.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his expression suddenly became solemn. He stared at Li Ji closely, and said in a hurried and concerned tone: "General, are you feeling unwell? Do you need my help to treat you? If you trust me, please come into the tent and have a chat!"
As he spoke, he extended his hand in a gesture of invitation.
If the general is really ill, we cannot delay, as he is related to the safety of the entire army.
On such hot and cold nights, any illness may be aggravated by the harsh environment.
"General! No matter what illness you have, don't be afraid to seek medical treatment. Illness cannot be delayed! General, you are the commander-in-chief of our army. Your safety is related to the fate of the entire army. You must not let anything happen to you!"
At this moment, the bonfires in the distance seemed to flicker more violently because of the solemn atmosphere, and the sparks were blown all over the place by the wind.
Seeing the anxious look in Doctor Hao's eyes, Li Ji's mouth twitched slightly, and he shook his head at him, feeling both amused and helpless.
"No, Doctor Hao, you misunderstood. I am not feeling unwell. I just have something I want to ask Doctor Hao."
His voice sounded a little low in the night wind, but it carried a hint of imperceptible expectation.
Hearing that Li Ji was fine, Doctor Hao was obviously relieved, his tense body relaxed, and he patted his chest.
"Fortunately, the general is not sick, otherwise the responsibility would be heavy."
"General, if you have anything to say, please speak frankly. If I can do it, I will definitely do it!"
As he spoke, he straightened his back and looked at Li Ji seriously, his heart full of respect for the general, determined to help the general solve his problems.
At this moment, the light from the military doctor's tent shone through the gaps in the door curtain, shining on them and outlining their figures.
Li Ji saw this and walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Doctor Hao, relax, relax! You are so serious that I am at a loss for words."
He paused, as if he had made a great decision, and was about to talk about hot pot, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and his tone immediately changed.
"I just want to ask, has Doctor Hao had dinner tonight? You medical staff from Xianyang are His Majesty's treasures! I, Li Ji, cannot let you go hungry!"
As Li Ji spoke, a worried expression appeared on his face.
I just wanted to show my concern for them and see where the hot pot is.
Li Ji comforted himself in his heart.
The night wind blew, bringing with it a hint of the smell of fireworks from the distant kitchen, mixed with the fragrance of herbs, which was a bit strange.
Hearing Li Ji's concern, Dr. Hao felt warm in his heart and his nose sore.
It is so thoughtful of the general to care about us so much.
He quickly replied, "General, we've all eaten! His Majesty has prepared a lot of supplies for us, the medical staff, and we even have self-heating hot pot. General, please rest assured! We'll take good care of ourselves!"
As he spoke, the soldiers' low conversations and the occasional sound of weapons clashing could be heard from the nearby tents.
When Li Ji heard the words "self-heating hot pot", he pretended to look puzzled.
His doubts were half true and half false.
It was really because he really didn't know what this wonderful thing "self-heating" was, and he was very curious.
The fake news was that he knew what hot pot was, but the word "self-heating" confused him.
The moonlight seemed brighter now, illuminating the curious look on his face.
Doctor Hao saw Li Ji's puzzled look, and since he was a smart man, he immediately understood.
He smiled and said, "General, wait a moment. I'll go get some self-heating hot pots. You'll understand!"
After saying that, Doctor Hao turned around and walked away quickly, his figure quickly disappearing among the tents.
His footsteps echoed in the night air, and the shadows of the tents seemed to be chasing his footsteps.
The general must have never seen this new thing, so he must see it for himself.
The other military doctors in the military medical tent area looked at Dr. Hao curiously when they saw him hurrying around, but they didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing Doctor Hao's departing back, Li Ji showed a triumphant smile on his face. There was something childish in that smile, like a naughty boy who was about to get his favorite toy.
Haha, luckily I, Li Ji, am smart! I'll be able to get that self-heating hot pot soon. I finally didn't let His Majesty down.
He stood there, and the surrounding environment seemed to become cheerful. Gusts of cool breeze blew away most of the night's heat.
The bonfire in the distance seemed to be celebrating for him, burning even more vigorously, with sparks jumping happily.
Soon, Doctor Hao came to Li Ji with a pile of wooden boxes.
He placed the box gently on the ground, and the grass on the ground bent down under the weight of the box.
He picked up one of them and said to Li Ji, "General, look, this is a self-heating hot pot."
"Look, the outside is made of wood. This box is exquisitely made and sturdy. Just pull off the top layer and you can enjoy your meal."
As he spoke, Dr. Hao opened a self-heating hot pot and began to demonstrate to Li Ji how to eat it.
The usage must be explained clearly to the general. This thing cannot be used indiscriminately, especially the step with quicklime.
At this moment, the surrounding light seemed to be gathered on this small self-heating hot pot, illuminating every detail.
As the upper cover was removed, the structure inside appeared before our eyes.
You can see that there are small packages wrapped in oil paper, neatly arranged inside.
Doctor Hao picked up one of the packets and pointed, saying, "Look, General! This packet contains quicklime. This quicklime is very important. It should be placed at the bottom, and only cold water should be added. Never use hot water. If you use hot water, it will be dangerous and will explode!"
As he spoke, he carefully placed the bag of quicklime on the bottom layer, his expression focused and serious.
"Then after inserting this small iron sheet on the second layer, you can put water in it."
Doctor Hao spoke as he performed the procedure, completing this step skillfully.
"After adding water, you can put the vegetables and dried meat in the paper bag, and then add the seasoning packet. Look at these vegetables and dried meat, they have been specially processed and taste delicious."
"General, you will definitely like this taste."
The unique aroma of the mixture of vegetables and seasonings became stronger in Li Ji's nostrils.
It smells so good even before it starts cooking. How delicious will it be when it’s cooked?
"Once the water boils, we can eat it! This self-heating hot pot is really a great thing, quick and convenient. Your Majesty gave us a generous portion, enough for two people to eat."
Doctor Hao continued to introduce.
"Because this self-heating hot pot is still at the high cost stage, only medical staff like us have it."
"The soldiers of the three battalions are already accustomed to the meals we medical personnel eat, but if the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty see us eating such fine food, they will inevitably feel dissatisfied."
"So when we want to eat, we usually eat in the tent and don't dare to tell anyone."
“It’s a shame that we can’t share this good thing with everyone!”
"Since the General has asked, I will give him five boxes to try."
"If it tastes good, just come back and ask for it! And please, General, keep this a secret for us!"
Doctor Hao looked at Li Ji sincerely, hoping that the general could understand their difficulties.
On this moonlit night, his eyes seemed particularly sincere.
Hearing what Doctor Hao said, Li Ji nodded in agreement, a satisfied smile on his face.
"Then I'll be respectful and take it back to try. Thank you, Doctor Hao!"
"You should also take care of yourselves. If you have any difficulties, just come to my tent and find me!"
"What are you talking about, General?"
Doctor Hao responded with a smile, feeling happy that he could help the general.
At this time, the military doctor's tent area returned to peace, with only the conversation between the two of them echoing in the air.
Li Ji, who received five boxes of self-heating hot pot, called a soldier over.
