They dug up some wild vegetables along the way. It would be a waste not to make a stew.
There were no factories near the national park. The lake water was clean and could be drunk directly. Li Du went to wash the vegetables; Godzilla and Big Quinn each butchered a goat; Hans started the fire.
They immediately drained the blood from and skinned the goats. The organs, heads, and claws were buried in the soil.
Godzilla diced the goat meat and added it to the pot. Big Quinn sliced the meat of his goat instead, so it could be cooked on the grill.
Ah Meow dug into the backpacks to look for some fish snacks. Li Du caught it, and dragged it out, along with giving the ocelot two slaps to the butt. This soured its mood.
Near them was a family of four out for a picnic. Seeing Ah Meow lying unhappily in the grass, a young girl brought a piece of fried fish over to it.
Ah Meow’s pupils scurried left and right. Seeing that no one else had noticed it, the ocelot waddled over to the young girl to cuddle up to her.
The young girl giggled and gave it the fried fish. Ah Meow wolfed it down in two bites, and continued gazing at the young girl with eyes full of anticipation.
With that, with just its eyes, Ah Meow won a free meal.
Having had its fill, the young girl was about to pick it up for a hug. But then, Ah Meow sprinted away and out of sight, leaving behind the devastated young girl.
After seeing that, Li Du shook his head helplessly. He then brought Crispy Noodles over to the young girl, saying, ”This is another pet of mine. It’s much more obedient than that ocelot. Let it play with you instead, alright?”
Crispy Noodles was also furry and cute. The young girl gladly accepted and said politely, ”Thank you, mister.”
Li Du corrected, ”It’s ‘big brother.’”
The young girl’s parents were looking on with faces full of smiles. ”Dora, how will you thank that big brother over there?”
Hearing her mother’s words, the young girl asked Li Du to squat down, and gave him a peck on the forehead.
Li Du smiled too, and said, ”Is this a kiss from an angel? What a blessing.”
Hans saw that he was beaming from ear to ear, and asked, ”This can’t be your first kiss, right?”
Li Du scoffed, ”A first kiss is one that is lips to lips. I still have to have mine.”
”What a load of sh*t, you’re really still a virgin,” Hans sighed. ”Turns out that the world still has strange life forms, such as old virgins like you.”
Li Du couldn’t be bothered with him; he felt that he would start beating Hans up in a fit.
Stewed and grilled meat were the two main dishes. Big Quinn had also brought hamburgers for lunch and took them out. Godzilla opened his backpack, and there was a ton of food inside: Jerky, sausages, popcorn, chips, fries, buns, and a dozen cans of beer…
Li Du dabbed the grilled goat meat with chili sauce before stuffing it into his mouth. It was flavorful, with a stronger smell than domesticated goats.
However, Americans disliked this smell. Hans shook his head after taking a bite. Godzilla and Big Quinn were less picky, and were enjoying the meal just like Li Du was.
They ate the grilled meat and sausage paired with beer in their hands. The four started chatting.
Due to Big Quinn’s appearance, no one else came near their space. The flat grass patch that they were at was soon empty. Thus, they could joke and laugh loudly without having to worry about disturbing others.
Steam started gurgling out of the pressure cooker. When the sound turned to a whistle, that meant that the stew was ready.
Li Du opened the cover. The stew had turned into a creamy white. The diced meat was dancing in the boiling water, the aroma permeating into the air and floating into their noses.
A pity that it was summer. If it were winter now, it would be bliss eating this fresh goat stew.
Even so, most of the stew was finished up by them.
