After Jim's son drove away, Long Zhan and his wife Jim continued to chat.
The core purpose of the Dragon War is to be able to stay overnight, so the chat time should be as late as possible as late as possible, so that it is easier to achieve the goal.
Chatting to death, many people can do it.
However, it is a technical task to make chatting live, so that the passage of time does not feel while chatting, and time passes before you know it.
Ordinary people really can't do it.
Long Zhan has a cheerful and outgoing personality, coupled with the rich experience accumulated in two lifetimes.
The two combined gave him enough capital.
In the humorous chat atmosphere of Long Zhan, the time came to 11 o'clock in the evening, and Jim's sons came back happily from the party.
It seems that at this gathering with his friends, he made a lot of face by driving a sports car there.
Jim's son came back and interrupted the chat. Long Zhan pretended to look at the time and suddenly realized: "Oh, my God, time flies so fast. It seems I have to leave. I don't want to not be able to find a hotel to rest.
That's the only bad thing about being away on business. You can't feel the warmth of family. I envy you, Congressman Jim, you have such a warm and happy family. "
Long Zhan deliberately made himself sad in order to arouse women's nature.
It really worked.
Jim's wife already liked Dragon War very much. Not only did she like the strong body that enveloped her, she was also attracted by Dragon War's talk during this evening's chat.
Hearing that Long Zhan was looking for a hotel so late, he immediately enthusiastically invited Long Zhan to stay.
It is said that there happens to be a vacant guest room at home. Although it is not as luxurious as a star hotel, it is definitely more comfortable than a hotel.
And he said jokingly that if Long Zhan didn't stay, he would be looking down on them.
Councilor Jim also admired Long Zhan's young talent and thought that getting to know such an outstanding young talent might be an opportunity for his vision.
Therefore, he also helped his wife speak.
Come forward to persuade Long Zhan to stay, and don't bother looking for a hotel again.
Long Zhan's own purpose was to stay. Faced with Jim and his wife's joint efforts to stay, his acting skills were perfect and he stayed with just a few polite words.
What happens next is nothing special.
Jim took Long Zhan to familiarize himself with the room and its layout, including where the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom were. His wife helped prepare toothbrushes, towels, etc.
It's almost 12 o'clock.
It was already very late, so everyone said good night to each other and went back to their rooms to rest.
Normally this would be a peaceful night, no different from any other, with dawn arriving in a few hours.
However, if Long Zhan stayed here tonight, it was destined that this night would not end so peacefully.
It's about two o'clock in the night.
Long Zhan suddenly opened the door and ran out, going straight to the kitchen on the first floor, looking like he was hungry and looking for something to eat.
I opened the cabinet and rummaged around, selected a large can of beef and put it in the microwave.
He took another steak from the refrigerator, turned on the gas stove very skillfully, put a pan on it and poured oil on it, as if he was preparing to fry the steak.
It's just that a lot of oil was added to the pan, and half the pan was added gurglingly.
It looks abnormal!
As the natural gas flame continued to heat up, the oil in the pot gradually began to squeak.
Until the sizzling sound stopped, Long Zhan did not put the steak into the pot, but stood aside and did nothing.
After a while.
The oil surface in the pot became very calm, and green smoke began to slowly rise upwards. The oil temperature reached at least 80%, and Long Zhan still did not put in the steak.
The steak taken out of the refrigerator was still placed quietly on the chopping board.
After a while.
Phew~
The oil was heated to the ignition point and burned instantly.
It was very dangerous for the oil pan to catch fire, but Long Zhan took a step back calmly, with no intention of turning off the fire at all.
He turned around and came to the microwave and took a look inside through the glass door.
It was seen that the can inside had begun to expand. If it continued like this, it would definitely explode due to thermal expansion, and no remedial measures were taken.
Even better.
He quickly exited the kitchen and walked to the bathroom on the first floor.
First, he filled the bathroom with a bucket of water, returned it and placed it next to the kitchen door. Then he walked back into the bathroom, closed the door, and looked like he was going to the toilet.
About two minutes later.
"Bang~"
The microwave exploded.
The sound was very loud, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
The shock wave from the explosion overturned the burning oil pan not far away, and the burning vegetable oil flowed in all directions along the stove.
Wherever the oil flows, the fire burns.
It burned from the stove to the floor and began to burn the wooden cabinets.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"Oh my god, I heard an explosion, what happened?"
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Less than five seconds after the sound of the explosion, Jim's family of three who were sleeping on the second floor were awakened and ran down in disheveled clothes.
The expressions of the three people suddenly changed.
I saw thick smoke coming out of the kitchen, and obvious firelight could be seen.
"Oh my God, my God."
Jim's wife was frightened by the flames and rushed to the door of the kitchen in three steps. What she saw was that the kitchen floor and stove were full of fire.
At this time she made a common sense mistake.
I saw a bucket of water next to the kitchen door. No matter why it was there, I picked it up and poured it into the kitchen.
Oil fires must never be extinguished with water, because oil is less dense than water and will float when exposed to water. If water is poured onto an oil fire, the burning area will increase and the flame will spread faster.
This is common sense.
But many people don't know.
Jim's wife threw the bucket of water over, and the fire spread two or three times.
Originally, it was only burning on the stove and the floor. When the basin of water went down, the range hood, cabinets, etc. were all covered in fire.
"There's a fire, get out quickly, quickly."
At this time, Long Zhan rushed out of the bathroom, pulled Jim's wife and ran outside. While running, he urged: "The fire is too big and too dangerous. We can't stay in the house. Call the fire department quickly."
When a person encounters an emergency, the brain's ability to process information will be reduced in panic.
There is a strong sense of blind obedience at this time.
Long Zhan's sudden voice made Jim's family of three lose all their opinions. They would do whatever Long Zhan said.
Long Zhan said don't save me and run away. His family immediately stopped preparing to put out the fire.
Jim and his wife ran back to the bedroom to get their valuables.
Jim's son did not return to his room. Instead, he hurriedly ran to the garage to save the dragon and the sports car that was kept here.
It can be clearly seen from this that sports cars have become his first true love.
When Jim's son drove out the sports car and parked it far away on the street outside the door, Jim and his wife ran out with their valuables.
In just a few minutes, the fire spread from the kitchen to the living room.
If it were a domestic fire department that would arrive within a few minutes, the fire would at most burn down the kitchen and blacken part of the living room outside.
Too bad this is free America.
Because when the American firefighters were born, they were a private for-profit organization.
Even now that it has become a public agency, most firefighters are part-time volunteers and not full-time fire police.
Even the fire station, a government department, still enforces paid uniforms.
Every time we go out, we charge thousands of dollars.
If the fire in your home is not serious and the damage is not expected to exceed $1,000, it is best not to call 911.
Otherwise you will lose more!
Under the influence of these historical problems and the bizarre charging system for internships at public welfare organizations, the American fire department is notoriously slow to dispatch police officers.
It is impossible to arrive within a few minutes, and it is impossible to put out the fire immediately in a short time.
Because firefighters will prioritize their own safety, further fire-fighting work will only be carried out when sufficient safety is ensured.
Ever since.
Glad to hear it!
The fire police, who arrived ten minutes later, walked around the house that had burned into the living room and filled with smoke three or four times, making careful and precise calculations.
The time has come to more than 20 minutes.
The firefighters who finally identified the breakthrough point for extinguishing the fire finally took the fire hoses and prepared to start work.
The way to put out fires is also very strange.
Obviously, the most popular areas are the living room and kitchen. Entering through the front door can lead directly to the source of the fire.
The firefighters did not enter through the front door of the house. Because the fire was the strongest in the living room behind the front door, the firefighters believed it was too dangerous to enter through the front door to put out the fire.
They can't put out the fire at risk and need to control the fire where it doesn't start.
It's like trying to catch someone off guard.
Therefore, they have a very unique entry position, preparing to enter from the garage where there is no fire. Even if the garage door burns out the wiring due to fire and fails to open due to malfunction, they still have to enter through the garage door.
I took out their big fire-fighting electric saw and cut it into the garage door.
Cutting a door out of a garage door is no easy task.
Very time consuming!
The intensity of a fire changes every second. One second longer and the fire will burn faster.
