Chapter 1364 Chapter 1364 - Mirror Wall (2/2)
It was not dinnertime yet, but there were already plenty of guests eating in the shade.
Lu Guan said, ”This place is only open when the sun is hot, from eleven o'clock in the morning to seven-thirty in the evening. It relies on the sun for grilling. How about it, haven't you seen one in other places?”
Dickens smiled, ”This can only work in the desert of Tucson. If it were in Flagstaff, it would definitely go bust!”
More than half of the time, it would be gloomy or raining in Flagstaff. The temperature in Flagstaff was lower than in other cities in Arizona. It was one reason why Flagstaff was a popular city to live in.
Li Du and his group were considered important clients, so the owner cleared out half of the shady area for them. The bunch of them chatted happily as they settled in.
When Li Du walked into the shade sitting area, someone waved at him and smiled. ”Hi, Mr. Li, this is such a coincidence.”
Li Du took a look and felt, too, that it was an unusual meeting. Unexpectedly, he had bumped into Bravo Tompsey. He was the chief of the Audubon Society, the man who had purchased his copy of Birds of America.
The two of them exchanged a warm handshake and Li Du asked, ”Weren't you guys in Los Angeles? Are you on a business trip in Tucson?”
Bravo said, ”That's right. We are here to attend a meeting hosted by the West Coast Animal and Bird Protection Association. We dropped by here to have dinner. The food here is very environmentally friendly.”
Indeed, it was environmentally friendly. The grilling did not contribute to any pollution and made use of the sunlight. It was a hundred-percent natural, low-energy cooking method.
Back when Li Du was in primary school, solar energy stoves had been all the rage in his hometown. The government had been in charge of promoting those stoves. However, the solar energy fad eventually died down. He had heard that quite a number of people had burnt themselves trying to use those stoves for cooking.
After a quick chat with Bravo, Li Du returned to the treasure hunters group.
Someone passed him a large glass of beer. The treasure hunters did not react as they had with Princeps. Instead, they raised their glasses enthusiastically and said, ”Drink, drink, Big Li, let's drink together!”
That place was warm, even though it was five o'clock in the afternoon. The sun was still warming the earth like a huge fireball. Even though they were at the desert border, the temperature remained very high.
Li Du raised his head and took big gulps of the beer. The cooling sensation was very pleasant.
Then, all sorts of grilled meats appeared on the table. There were beef, lamb, chicken, and turkey, as well as burgers, sandwiches and the sorts.
There was an advantage to grilling the meat on the mirror walls. As the temperature from the sun was consistent, the meat was cooked very evenly. None of it would be charred or raw.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Additionally, compared to grilling over charcoal, the meat grilled in this way retained its natural aroma. There was no lingering smell or taste of charcoal. They were able to taste the pure flavors of the meat.
Li Du lifted the grilled chicken and tore off the thigh. He pushed the rest towards Godzilla, who took off his top and started to enjoy his meal. He held the grilled chicken in one hand and a huge glass of beer in the other.
”Big Li, any information about this auction?” Someone asked.
Li Du blinked and said, ”As you guys know, I earn money by attending auctions like everyone else. Not from any secret information.”
Turis smiled sneakily. ”We are the ones who need to rely on information channels. F*ck, there's a Tiger Tank warehouse this time round. Wonder if we will be able to land it. That would be difficult to hide, right?”
”You'd better hope that it is well-hidden. Otherwise, everyone can see it. If so, there's nothing much you can gain by bidding for it.”
Li Du, who was savoring the grilled meat, heard that and froze. He said, ”Everyone knows about the Tiger Tank?”
”Yes,” Dickens said. ”That information must have been spread by the warehouse company, to purposely increase the value of its warehouses.”
Li Du gave Lu Guan a murderous look. Lu Guan could only say sheepishly, trying to get into Li Du's good books, ”Boss, isn't the grilled meat delicious? It took me a lot of effort to find this place!”
