Chapter 1241 Galaxy Travel (1/2)

It was a bright and cool day and the sun was starting to set.

There was no regular date reserved for the astronomy gathering. The timing for the gathering was flexible. It was only fixed to take place during a particular month. Then, after going through a stringent analysis of the weather to identify the two consequent days with the best weather conditions, the enthusiasts would decide on a date to hold the party. It was all based on last-minute notice.

For example, if one wanted to observe the Messier object in the fall, one would have to find a good day in September; to observe the moon, one would have to find a day that was bright and had a full moon. In short, this gathering had many requirements for the weather. There were many ever-changing variables.

However, astronomy enthusiasts would always be looking out for related notices. Even if they knew of the rally at the very last minute, they would not forgo the opportunity.

Besides, their circle was small and most of them had very close relationships with one another. If one person knew of the gathering, the rest would also get the news.

There were many mobile food stalls at the rally. All the delicacies of Texas were available.

Texan food was just perfect for Godzilla. For the entire day, he had been sniffing the tantalizing scents of various dishes from all the food trucks.

In the evening, the team broke up into smaller groups in pursuit of food.

Godzilla's stomach growled and Li Du noticed that someone was selling roast lamb in the area. He walked over and said, ”I'd like some of that, pleased.”

The boss grinned and asked, ”Sure, how many portions do you want?”

”I'll take the whole.”

The owner's smile froze, ”Hey, are you kidding me? You want a whole roast sheep? It's too much for you. As you can see, it's pretty big, not a tender little lamb.”

Li Du pointed behind him and said, ”Have you seen the physique of my companion? If you only had little lambs, I would need more than one.”

Assured that business would be good for him, the owner grew excited. He increased the heat of the oven and brought out a roast lamb. He mixed it with the spice powder prepared and then stuffed it into the oven.

The lamb had already been half-cooked. Hence, it would only require another half-hour for the spices and the lamb meat to blend into a mouthwatering delicacy.

Li Du left the man to his business and brought the rest to look for other food.

There was a sort of fried fruitcake, a popular local dish. The fruitcake would be baked before being fried in boiling oil. The cake was sweet and smelled great. It was a perfect dish for dessert.

Sophie bought one assorted salad and added a few slices of green-chili chicken. That was to be her dinner that night.

The little animals were considered omnivores and they had no problem consuming vegetables. Hence, they snatched Sophie's assorted salad and finished it without leaving anything.

Sophie could only roll her eyes in anger and went off to buy a few more salads. She thought that if the little animals were going to share her dinner, she had better be equipped.

In the end, when she came back, the roast meat was ready. The owner put the dish up on two tables and the little animals pounced on it after taking in the aroma.

They did not even glance at the salad Sophie bought for them!

That angered Sophie, and she picked them up and slapped their butts. The animals had thick skin and could brave the beating. They did not care and showed no remorse for wanting to eat the meat.

With the roast lamb as the main dish, their meal also included barbequed meat, salmon tacos, butternut squash, sweet-hot peppers, applewood smoked bacon, spicy elk meat, and honey prawns, among other things. They had a table full of dishes.

As the prawns had a thick layer of honey over them, Ah Meng perked up after sniffing at the dish. It tried to climb up the chairs to get on the table and would not give up. Its eyes were open wide as he targeted the honey prawns.
