When it came to making friends and creating a sense of closeness, Hans was definitely a master.

Just from a string of horse meat sausages, he was immediately able to pull the boss into a conversation and ultimately, to their surprise, find out that they were distant relatives.

Despite that, Li Du felt that their distant relative relation was too distant as there was a cousin's neighbor relation between them . . .

He wanted to ask if they were still considered relatives. However, he didn't when he saw that the couple and Hans were having such an enjoyable, intimate moment and that they were greatly enjoying each other's company.

This was understandable as it had been a few years since the couple had come to Australia. Compared to America, the land here was vast while the people were few. Moreover, they did not have many relatives and friends. As such, even if they were to meet ordinary, fellow townsfolk, they would feel close to them, let alone with someone who had familial ties with them.

In the afternoon, while Li Du and the others rested, Hans was still chit-chatting with the couple. When Li Du woke up after resting until the evening, Hans was, like before, chit-chatting with the couple.

After an afternoon of chit-chatting, both parties had already become pretty close with each other. The couple treated them to a barbeque party at the spacious backyard for dinner.

Americans' love for barbeque was bone-deep. However, the barbeque prepared by the boss was not an ordinary barbeque. Hans asked Li Du excitedly, ”Have you eaten kangaroo meat before?”

Li Du shook his head. ”No. I don't eat kangaroo meat.”

Hans was taken aback. ”Why?”

Li Du replied, ”The Chinese translation for kangaroo has a character for rat in it. As I am born in the year of the rat, I cannot eat food related to rats. If they changed the name to Dai Yang or Dai Nu, I wouldn't mind tasting it.”

As this was the first time Hans had heard of such an explanation, he had a blank look on his face.

Sophie ridiculed, ”Then what about those who were born in the year of the sheep and cow? They should be protesting.”

Hans did not understand what relevance Sophie's words had and said, ”Alright, then you just eat beef and mutton. Anyway, we have also prepared beef and mutton. As for the kangaroo meat? We'll try it ourselves then.”

He turned his head around to look at Godzilla. ”Hey, man, you like eating kangaroo meat?”

Godzilla replied, ”There's no 'like to eat' or 'don't like to eat . . . '”

Victoria, who sat at the side, added, ”Only 'can eat' or 'cannot eat.'”

Godzilla nodded in agreement.

The kangaroo was the strongest animal on Australia's vast land. As there was a large number of them, twice the population of Australia, it was possible to encounter them even when driving in the many wildlands of Australia.

Due to there being simply too many kangaroos in Australia, the Australian government had planned to exterminate 100,000,000 kangaroos in a reasonable manner so as to save the grasslands and other animals. Otherwise, the ecosystem would be destroyed.

The kangaroo meat that was prepared by the boss had been frozen earlier to kill off the parasites and their eggs inside the meat. After which, the meat was placed under the scorching sun to dry for two days, which caused the meat to look a little like French ham.

Seeing the boss take out pieces of dark red kangaroo meat, Ivana hid behind her father's thigh before grabbing onto his shirt and asking weakly, ”Kangaroos are so cute, how could you guys eat them?”

After hearing her words, the boss laughed loudly and opened his arms in an exaggerated manner. ”Cute? Little girl, you have never encountered one before. They are much more terrifying than bulls, especially when they are fighting like bullies.”

Frightened by his exaggerated gestures and tone, Ivana hid completely behind Brother Wolf.
