Chapter 568 567. Roasted Cactus in the Starry Sky (1)

There is no doubt that even Li Du himself envied such a scene.

The setting sun was setting, and the sky was full of red clouds. Looking up and looking around, wherever the eyes could see, there were ores of various colors.

A man and a woman snuggled up on the hill and stared at the sunset, holding their beloved cute pet in their arms. No wonder Sophie didn't want to travel to other places and was willing to work here with him.

As the sun goes down, they still have to work and cannot rest.

Due to geographical and astronomical reasons, when the night first fell, the sky around the national park was not dark, and the light was not bad, so I could keep working.

The ore pickers usually don't rest until around one o'clock in the morning, sleep for three or four hours, and wait until dawn before continuing to work. This lasts for twenty-four hours.

Da'ao erected a tripod on the carriage, and two tungsten lamps on it, so that the surrounding light will be much better, and it will be no problem to continue working.

Godzilla took out snacks such as dried meat and canned food to prepare for dinner. Li Du shook his head and said, "Cook, don't eat these things."

Sophie said: "I heard from other pickers that they usually cook a meal at midnight. At this time, when the weather is better, just eat whatever you want."

Li Du shook his head and said, "No, we don't do that. We're not here to suffer. We're here to travel and work."

Hearing what he said, Da Ao began to prepare and asked, "What are you doing, boss? Do you still use a big pot to stew beef?"

Li Du continued to shake his head: "We don't eat the same meal twice in a row. Sophie and I had a cactus barbecue in Winslow a few days ago. I thought it was very good. What do you think?"

Da O is native to Arizona and it is impossible not to know this dish.

Hearing what he said, he nodded and said: "No problem, leave it to me, cactus barbecue, right? Then I'll make a pit stove."

Different clay stoves are used to cook different meals. Da Ao knew that Li Du was particular about eating and drinking, so he used all his abilities to meet his needs.

When he joined the team, it was Li Du who finally invited him. After staying in the team, he tasted the benefits and didn't want to leave.

Godzilla is the first subordinate to follow Li Du, and he is loyal to him. Li Du is most at ease with Godzilla and treats him best. He will give him dividends every time he makes money.

Dao didn't think much about it, he didn't want to replace Godzilla, he just wanted to stabilize the position of the second subordinate of his team.

It was fine at first, there were only four of them in the team, and he was the number two subordinate, but after the official came, and it seemed that Li Du would continue to recruit people in the future, his position would be unstable.

Luguan is very skilled. He is clever, likes to joke, sunny and positive, and has a very powerful ability: hearing and eyesight.

As long as he wants to, he will occupy an important position in any team he joins.

Since Lu Guan joined, Li Du's work here is much easier, which is why he is relieved to start a sideline business. He believes that if there is any valuable warehouse, Lu Guan will find out and notify him.

Da Ao is competing with the boss, he hopes that he can be more important in the team, so that he can get more dividends.

Li Du said: "Didn't we bring a grill? Can't we use a grill to make roasted cactus?"

Da Ao laughed and said, "It's possible, but it's not the best. The grill is easy to cause uneven heating and overcooked cactus meat, so it's most suitable to use a pit stove."

Li Du could only nod his head, he didn't know what a pit stove was.

Da Ao made a move, and then he knew.

A pit stove is a pit dug in the ground and used for cooking.

Da Ao found a piece of land and started digging on the ground. The hole he dug was about 20 to 30 centimeters deep, one meter and a half long, and 30 to 40 centimeters wide, which was big enough.

When digging the pit, he tested the direction of the wind, and turned the mouth of the pit to the north where the wind was blowing, forming a slope shape, then put some ore in it, and lit a bonfire on it.

Then they have to prepare food. There are many cacti in the park, which can be picked off.

Li Du chose four or five flat cactus slices and four or five small prickly prickly pears. He chose tender green ones. This kind of prickly pear is the most delicate and the meat inside is edible.

The cacti in the national park have no pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, and are absolutely natural growth. These cacti can be used as fruits, which can be eaten directly after peeling.

Of course, such a cactus is not tasty, after all, it is not a fruit.

Godzilla carefully hollowed out the cactus with a knife, and Li Du took out the prepared minced meat from the incubator, which was cooled with ice, and the minced meat did not deteriorate at all.

Sophie watched him stuff the meat into the cactus, and said with a smile, "You really prepared well."

Li Du winked at her and said, "Of course, it's the first time you come out to camp with me, and we will live together. Of course I have to make a good impression on you."

Sophie joked, "Are you flattering me?"

Mr. Li replied happily: "Bingo, you guessed it right."

Da Ao took out the seasonings, brushes and oil for the barbecue, and started tidying up the pit stove after getting ready.

He used wooden sticks and tent poles to frame the two sides of the big pit, and he used soil bags to fix the poles, then hoisted up a kettle and started boiling water.

Godzilla pulled out the flesh of the cactus and prickly pear, and cut them into pieces the size of half a palm.

Boil the water, and Sophie helps to wash the cactus with hot water. In fact, the cactus meat itself is not dirty. The fear is that there are bacteria or insects. The boiling water can scald them to death.

Da Ao clamped out the burning firewood, moved away the hot ore with the tongs, put the cactus and prickly pear made by Li Ducet into the pit, then carefully covered the ore, and re-ignited the bonfire.

The rest was up to him and Godzilla. The two clamped the cactus meat with a barbecue grill, rolled it over the fire, smeared it with oil, sprinkled it with seasoning, and started to roast it.

Li Du went to find two bottles of beer, which were still cold. He pulled out the recliner and lay on it with Sophie. The two found a quiet place, and looked up at the brilliant starry sky.

Ah Miao and Gan Crispy Noodles rubbed against each other, while Ah Ao jumped up in one step, directly onto Li Du, and lay down on Li Du's lower abdomen.

Seeing this, Sophie giggled and said, "Let it get up, don't let it be on you."

"What's wrong? I won't conceive again." Li Du smiled hippie.

Sophie said: "This is a language of canines. Lying on top of a companion means declaring the initiative and expressing that you are the boss. Now, it is telling you that it is your boss..."

Hearing this, without further ado, Li Du picked up the skin of the back of Ah Ao's neck and let him make a plane.

Aao screamed and flew out, rolled on the ground twice, got up and ran back, and stayed obediently at Li Du's feet.

This made Li Du understand that Sophie was right.
