The flat cactus meat was the first to finish cooking. Godzilla brought them some. Li Du had known that Sophie didn't like strong tasting food. Seeing that Big Quinn roasted mainly black pepper and spicy flavored cactus meat, he knew Sophie wouldn't like it.
Because of this, he went over and found some honey sauce and cooked a new piece for her.
”Boss, you seem to have brought everything needed for this work trip,” Big Quinn said with much admiration.
Li Du replied, ”Pity we aren't driving an RV or else I would have brought the whole kitchen for you guys.”
”Then it's about time you bought one,” Big Quinn responded.
After much consideration, Li Du felt that it was a great idea and planned to buy one after earning a bit more money.
His profits for this trip to find fire opals were not low. Just this afternoon, he had already found around 10 pieces of opal that were of good quality and could be easily sold for 80 to 100,000 dollars.
He brought the honey flavored cactus meat over to Sophie. Sophie, who was lying on the recliner chair, gleefully smiled. ”Aw, that's so sweet of you. I am really lucky to have met a man like you.”
Li Du was very pleased.
He preferred stronger tasting food and ate the spicy flavored cactus meat. When roasted, the cactus meat developed a crispy texture that gave it a satisfying crunchiness.
Seeing them happily eating, Ah Meow and the other two pets gathered, wanting to eat as well.
At that moment, the braised meat also finished cooking. Big Quinn pushed apart the stones and took out the steaming hot flat and round cacti. When the cacti were opened up, the fragrance of cooked meat wafted out.
While cutting the meat into pieces, he said regretfully, ”These stones are still piping hot. They could definitely cook another batch of food if there was any to be grilled.”
Li Du smiled. ”Who said there wasn't any?”
He went over to the truck, tidied it a bit and took out a few potatoes. He buried them in the cooking pit and covered them with the piping hot stones for braising.
”Boss, how much stuff did you bring?” Big Quinn exclaimed.
Li Du replied, ”Even if the world were to end, there's enough food for us to survive here for quite a while.”
He intended to use the potatoes to make potato chips or mashed potatoes. However, seeing the piping hot stones, he figured he might as well take the potatoes out and roast them.
Sophie sighed. ”How much are you prepared to eat?”
Li Du pointed at Godzilla and replied, ”We have him here, so don't worry about the food going to waste.”
Godzilla let out a blissful smile as the potatoes seemed to be prepared just for him.
Li Du continued, ”Don't smile yet, mate. Don't touch the potatoes as they are meant for our supper. They should be cooled to warm by midnight.”
Godzilla was no longer smiling.
Big Quinn set four or five bonfires in the wilderness. At night, the strong, howling wind blew continuously against the bonfire causing sparks to rise. The bonfires were ablaze and crackling in the darkness of the night.
Sophie asked, ”Why did you set so many bonfires?”
Big Quinn replied, ”Because the insects and animals that hunt during the night are mostly climbers and hate high temperatures and fire. The bonfires help to deter them from coming close to us.”
Understanding the rationale for the many bonfires, Sophie nodded her head in enlightenment.
Li Du continued bringing Crispy Noodles to search for opal. He broadened his search area beyond his one and a half-acre space, searching the nearby surroundings.
