In the desert, trying to start a fire to cook is quite a difficult task. The desert has been dubbed "The Land of Emptiness" and "The Barren Land" since time immemorial, precisely because if you look down from the sky, there's nothing there at all, save for the occasional cold-resistant cactus?
But this was no problem for Liang's little wife.
Dong Huiying fished out something black and lumpy that looked rather like coal and was about half the size of her fist. Once lit with the flint, surprisingly, it burned very hot and lasted a long time.
With one hand holding the fruit, she heated the bottom of the pan with the black coal ball. In such harsh conditions, the thought of stewing was out of the question, but as for other dishes... well, there was still room for imagination.
