After returning to the valley, Chen Wen immediately poured all the water from the military food bag and the kettle into the pot.
When he was on the snowy mountain, after sliding down the snow slope with the iron pot, Chen Wen took a rest and used the snow to scrub the surface of the pot.
At this moment, there was no need to worry about sanitation issues.
After adding water, Chen Wen went to the cave entrance, took a few stones blocking the entrance, and built a simple earth stove on the open ground outside the cave.
Meanwhile, he also took some of the piled-up cow dung from the valley and placed it in the earth stove.
He took out a fire stick, which was actually a thicker magnesium rod mixed with some other metals inside.
All he needed to do was take out a dagger or metal object, strike hard against the fire stick, and a lot of sparks would appear.
When the sparks hit the dry tinder, it would ignite directly.
