Chapter 567: Roasting Cactus Under the Stars (2/2)
He would know once Big Quinn started building it
A cooking pit was a pit that was dug into the ground and used to cook food
Big Quinn found so a hole that was approxith, and 16 inches wide, which was as big as a head
While digging the pit, he tested the wind direction and dug the entrance of the pit north of it Some stones were placed into the slanted pit to start a bonfire
Afterward, they went to gather the ingredients within the park, which had cacti that could be removed
Li Du selected four to five flat shaped cacti and four to five small round cacti The cacti he had selected were all edible varieties which were tender, green and soft
The cacti grown in the National Park were all organic, without any pesticides or fertilizers The cacti, after shaving their skin, could be eaten directly as a fruit
But of course, they would not taste good as they were not a type of fruit after all
Godzilla used a knife to carefully scrape out the cactus meat Li Du took out previously preparedkept in ice cold temperatures
Sophie saw him stuff the cactus meat with minced meat and smiled ”You really are fully prepared”
Li Du winked at her ”Of course I a with ood i to please o! You guessed right”
Big Quinn took out the seasonings for roastingpit
He used dirt to hold up wooden sticks and tent poles at the side of the big pit He then hung a kettle and began boiling water
Godzilla scraped the meat out of the cacti and proceeded to cut them into palm-sized pieces
After the water had boiled, Sophie helped out by washi+ng the cacti with the hot water The cactus meat was actually not dirty What they were afraid of was the bacteria and bugs in it, so they used the hot water to kill the firewood and used a pair of tongs tohot stones He then placed Li Du's stuffed cactusit up with stones and starting a new bonfire
All that was left was his and Godzilla's job Both of therill nets to clamp the cactus meat, and continuously flipped it over the fire while brushi+ng it with oil and seasoning it
Li Du went to take out two bottles of ice cold beer and placed a recliner chair in a quiet spot below the starry sky for himself and Sophie to lay on
Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles climbed onto the chair Ah Ow ju that, Sophie giggled ”Help her up You can't let her lay on you”
”Why not? I anant anyway,” Li Du cheekily joked
Sophie replied, ”That is a way canines co on their co that they are the boss What she is saying to you now is that she is your boss”
Hearing that, Li Du immediately lifted Ah Ow by the scruff of her neck and threw her off onto the ground
Ah Ow let out a round and rolled twice, before standing up and running back She then lay quietly next to Li Du's feet
Li Du realized that what Sophie said was true
