Chapter 1278 Lost Town (1/2)

Li Du did not expect Steve to really catch the fat manul. It had seemed to him that the manul's escape was certain.

However, Steve would have a hard time trying to tame the manul. It was a real beast, one that had grown up in the wild.

Steve set him up on purpose, hiding the manul so that Li Du would think he had failed to catch it.

After kidding around with Li Du, he took the manul out.

Li Du held his nose and said, ”I want to cook now. Can you take this away? God, did it roll in dog poop? Why does it smell so bad?”

Steve rolled his eyes and said, ”Come on, the little one just fell into the swamp. Don't you know that? By the way, I gave it a name, can you guess it?”

Li Du looked at the fat manul and asked, ”Is it Ah Pang?”

Steve grinned. ”Seriously, you could guess it. The name comes from your culture. It took me some time to come up with it.”

Li Du could not guess it, and Steve was too lazy to tease him, so he said, ”the name is Kuafu!”

This name made Li Du give Steve a vacant look. ”Kuafu? Kuafu from the Kuafu Chase the Sun? How did you come up with that?”

Steve said triumphantly, ”Well, what about the name? Isn't that nice?”

Li Du smiled wryly and said, ”It's really very chic, but I don't know how you came up with such a name.”

Steve said, ”The reason is very simple, man. You see, this kitty can run very well. It's been running south, so isn't it like chasing the sun? I wanted to name it Apollo at first, but I decided that Kuafu was better.”

Just as Chinese people liked to give their pets English names, foreigners would sometimes give their pets Chinese names, which was a trend that could show the owner's style.

Li Du broke the eggs and stirred them in the bowl. ”Aren't you going to wash your God of Sun, man? Is it good to leave it so smelly?”

Kuafu was staring at the bird eggs in Li Du's hand, and it quickly withdrew to the corner of the cage when it noticed Li Du was looking at it.

Li Du threw an eggshell into the cage, and Steve waved. ”Go, go, don't insult my Kuafu like that…”

Before he was able to finish his words, Kuafu was already biting on the eggshell, holding on to it with its short legs and licking it with apparent relish. Eggs and birds were top-rate delicacies for manuls.

Li Du asked again, ”won't you give it a bath?”

”Wait a couple of days,” Steve demurred. ”We don't know each other yet. It would not let me touch it. I do not dare to let it out to wash it, as it might run to chase the sun again.”

Li Du ignored him and mixed the eggs with a little pepper and soy sauce. He cut some chopped scallions and mixed them well. Then he sprinkled the eggs with flour to prepare the omelet.

Feminine came over with his arms folded and said, ”Boss, are you ready to make pancakes? Shall I make you a stone pancake then?”

Li Du smiled and said, ”Ok, show your skills.”

Feminine went to find a stone the size of a washbasin, put it over the fire and heated it well.

Madman said helplessly, ”God, are you using this to make pancakes? What happened to your brain? The sun is going to set before you cook even one!”

Feminine wiped his hands and said, ”Come here, let's watch you in action, go ahead and do it yourself.”

Madman curled his mouth and whistled as he strolled away.
