Chapter 306 305. Dao BBQ (2)
As the evening approached, cars began to come to the camp one after another, including pickups, sedans, SUVs and off-road vehicles, all of which were Rose's police colleagues.
Aunt Cop Alison was the first to arrive, and she brought a big plate of hot baked pizza.
Li Du met her before, and they experienced a shootout together, and they both felt good about each other. Seeing her as a guest and bringing a small gift, Li Du felt even better about her.
Rose introduced: "Alison's minced beef pizza tastes great. This is the favorite food of our colleagues. If there is a party, her pizza will always be the protagonist."
Li Du smiled and said, "Great, the meal I prepared today is missing a protagonist."
Alison waved her hand boldly, and said with a smile: "Haha, Li, don't be polite to me. I know you have good cooking skills, and Rose will praise you every day."
Li Du looked at Rose in surprise, and Rose said: "Your cooking skills are really good, I didn't praise you, I just told my partner the truth."
"How does it feel to have a partner?"
Rose showed a sincere smile and said, "Very good."
Others came one after another. Li Du was surprised by the second person who came. It was Rose and the chief of the police station. They met each other when they were arresting criminals in the rainstorm.
"This is our boss, Officer Sister Hood, and this is my roommate, my good friend, Du-Li." Rose introduced both parties.
Li Du said: "Call me Li, Officer Hood, welcome to come. I didn't expect Rose to invite such a distinguished guest, which makes us flourish."
Officer Hood always likes to frown and make a serious look, which may be a professional habit.
But facing Li Du's compliment, he showed a stiff smile: "Hello, Li, I'm glad to meet again. You helped us a lot last time, and I haven't thanked you yet."
"That's the work of Officer Rose."
Hood nodded and said, "Yes, Officer Rose is doing a great job now. She and Alison are the best female police partners in Flagstaff City."
Fifteen or sixteen police officers came intermittently from behind, and one of Li Du's acquaintances, named Capote, once troubled them after they got mammoth ivory.
Capote also came with a gift, a dozen German stouts.
He got along well with Rose and Alison. After meeting, the three of them joked together. After seeing Li Du, his expression was a little uncomfortable, and the two sides nodded as greetings.
Rose asked strangely, "You and Capote don't seem to get along well?"
"What about you?" Li Du asked back.
Rose shrugged and said, "We have a good relationship. He has given Alison and me a lot of support in our work."
"When did it start? Do you still have any memory?"
Rose thought for a while, and said, "Probably after he arrested you into the police station because of the mammoth ivory, for some reason, he began to show affection to me."
Li Du laughed, he knew the reason, because he got Capote's handle, this guy didn't dare to offend himself, nor did he dare to offend Rose.
When Alison arrived, Li Du placed iced watermelons, mangoes, apples, pineapples, black grapes, kiwis and other fruits on the table.
When everyone arrived, he removed the fruit and replaced it with snacks and appetizers, and the prepared staple food began to be delivered to the table continuously.
Da Ao has a good culinary skill, especially in barbecue. He is doing roast venison and roast rabbit, and he uses the grill mode for grilling.
This barbecue method may be the oldest open fire barbecue technique. After arriving at the camp in the morning, Dao dug a shallow pit in the ground, and then put wood and coal in it to burn.
When the burning was almost done, he put out the open fire, dug up the coke and buried all kinds of meat and vegetables in it.
Among them, these things are wrapped in layers of banana leaves and wide leaves, the purpose is to cook them, a bit like the roasted sweet potatoes in Li Du's hometown.
Da Ao also made a special barbecue. There are many cactus in the wild in Arizona. He picked some fat cactus, hollowed them out and stuffed them with the prepared meat stuffing.
Finally, the cactus was sealed and grilled in charcoal. This was a barbecue method that Li Du had never seen before, and the policemen who came to the party did not see much of it.
The dishes started to be served, and Dao arranged for Godzilla to cook other barbecues on the oven, while he took out the meat and vegetables that had been buried all afternoon.
Some policemen squatted by the fire pit to watch curiously, discussing at the same time:
"It's a bake pit, and people do it all the time in North Carolina, Texas."
"No, Chris, it's not the same. That kind of pit is smoked. Look, this guy is roasted. It's very different."
“That’s what Hawaiian BBQ is, right? I’ve seen them do it, and there’s no meat or grease left, and it’s so delicious.”
"Whoa, it's Mexican BBQ and lo and behold, there's roasted cactus coming out, but this cactus looks really ugly."
Da Ao smiled and took out a sharp knife. Alison who was chatting with Li Du subconsciously stood up and looked at Da Ao nervously.
Li Du asked, "What's wrong?"
Alison said with a sneer: "Oh, it's okay, my occupational disease, your guy, to be honest, his appearance is a bit too misleading."
Director Hood said with a serious face: "O'Quinn Alonzo, this guy's appearance is indeed very challenging, but he is a good man who abides by the law."
A policeman next to him laughed and said, "Alison, don't you know him? This guy is quite a celebrity in Flagstaff City."
Alison shook her head and said, "It's not in my jurisdiction, I'm not familiar with it, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing, his appearance and body shape are too fierce. When he first moved to Flagstaff City, citizens kept calling the police, saying that gangsters from other places had entered Flagstaff City, haha."
"There was another guy who was walking at night and ran into him cleaning up the garbage, and was so scared that he called the police, saying that he was threatened..."
Chief Hood took a sip of his beer, looked at Li Du and said, "Your two subordinates are extraordinary."
Li Du smiled and said: "Yes, you know the director, it's not easy for me to do business in the United States as a Chinese. With such subordinates, my work can be done more easily."
"If you go to other places, if you are accompanied by such subordinates, it is estimated that more citizens will report to the police, saying that you have met a gangster from other places, and you may be regarded as the leader of the gangster." Louis said with a smile.
Li Du said: "It's okay, we carry the tax payment records with us."
Da Ao cut open the scorched cactus with a sharp knife, and then a piece of steamed roasted meat paste fell down. He sprinkled seasoning powder and chili powder on it, and the aroma was tangy!
In addition to the grill pit, Da'ao also operates several other types of barbecue. Although they all use ordinary ovens, the steps are cumbersome and the seasonings are diverse, and the final product is also extremely delicious.
