As it neared evening, cars started to arrive at the campsite. There were pickups, sedans, SUVs, and SUVs. They were all Rose's colleagues.
Alison, the middle-aged woman, was the first to arrive. She even brought a big plate of piping hot pizza.
Li Du had met her before. They had gone through a gunfight together and had a good impression of each other. Seeing that she had brought a small gift, Li Du felt even better about her.
Rose introduced, "Alison's minced beef pizza is top notch. This is our colleague's favorite food. If there's a party, her pizza will always be the star of the show."
Li Du smiled. "That's great. The food I'm preparing today is lacking a star."
Alison waved her hand and laughed. "Haha, Li, don't stand on ceremony with me. I know you're good at cooking. Rose praises you every day."
Li Du looked at Rose in surprise. Rose said, "Your cooking is really good. I'm not praising you. I'm just telling the truth to my partner."
"How does it feel to have a partner?"
Rose gave a sincere smile and said, "Not bad."
The others arrived one after another. The second person who came surprised Li Du more. It was Rose's police chief. They had met during the rainstorm when they were arresting criminals.
"This is our boss, Officer Hister Hood. This is my roommate, my good friend, Du Li." Rose introduced them to each other.
Li Du said, "Just call me Li. Officer Hood, welcome. I didn't expect Rose to invite such a distinguished guest. Your presence brings light to our humble dwelling."
Officer Hood always frowned and put on a serious expression. Perhaps it was a habit of his.
However, in the face of Li Du's compliment, he gave a stiff smile. "Hello, Li. It's nice to meet you again. You helped us a lot last time. I haven't thanked you yet."
"That's Officer Rose's credit."
Hood nodded. "Yes, Officer Rose is doing a great job. She and Alison are the best policewomen in Flagstaff."
Fifteen to sixteen police officers arrived one after another. Among them was someone Li Du knew. His name was Capote. He had caused trouble for them after they had obtained the mammoth tusk.
Capote had also brought a gift. It was a dozen German stouts.
He got along well with Rose and Alison. When they met, the three of them joked around. When they saw Li Du, they looked a little uncomfortable and nodded as a form of greeting.
Rose asked curiously, "You and Capote don't seem to get along?"
"What about you guys?" Li Du asked.
Rose shrugged and said, "We have a good relationship. He has given Alison and me a lot of support at work."
"Since when did it start? Do you remember anything? "
Rose thought for a moment and said, "It was probably after he arrested you guys for the mammoth tusks. I don't know why, but he started to be nice to me."
Li Du laughed. He knew the reason. It was because he had something on Capote. Capote did not dare to offend him or Rose.
From the moment Alison arrived, Li Du had placed iced watermelon, mango, apple, pineapple, black grapes, kiwi fruit, and other fruits on the table.
When everyone had arrived, he removed the fruits and replaced them with snacks and appetizers. The main dishes that he had prepared were also served.
Big Quinn had good cooking skills, especially when it came to barbecuing. He was the one who roasted the venison and roasted the rabbit meat. He used the roasting pit for barbecuing.
This method of barbecuing was probably the most ancient method of barbecuing. When Big Quinn arrived at the campsite in the morning, he dug a shallow pit in the ground and put some wood and coal in it.
When the fire was almost done, he put out the fire, dug out the coal, and buried all kinds of meat and vegetables.
These things were wrapped in layers of banana leaves and broad tree leaves. The purpose was to cook them. It was a little like the roasted sweet potatoes in Li Du's hometown.
Big Quinn also made a special barbecue. There were many cacti in the wilderness of Arizona. He picked some fat cacti, hollowed them out, and stuffed them with mixed meat.
Finally, he sealed the cacti and put them in the coal to cook. This was a method of barbecuing that Li Du had never seen before. The police officers who came to the party had not seen it either.
The dishes began to be served. Big Quinn arranged for Godzilla to barbecue on the grill while he took out the meat and vegetables that had been buried for the whole afternoon.
Some of the police officers squatted by the fire pit and watched curiously while discussing:
"This is a barbecue pit. People often do this in North Carolina and Texas."
"No, Chris, it's different. Those pits are smoked and grilled. Look, this guy is grilling. It's very different."
"Is Hawaiian barbecue like this? I've seen them do this before. The meat and grease are not missing at all. It smells so good. "
"Wow, this is Mexican-style barbecue. Look, even the cacti are out. But this cacti looks really ugly."
Big Quinn smiled and pulled out a sharp knife. Alison, who was chatting with Li Du, subconsciously stood up and looked at Big Quinn nervously.
Li Du asked, "What's wrong?"
Alison smiled and said, "Oh, nothing, it's my occupational disease. Your buddy, to be honest, his appearance is a little misleading."
Chief Hood put on a serious face and said, "O 'Quinn Alonzo, this guy's appearance is really challenging, but he is a law-abiding good man."
A police officer laughed and said, "Alison, don't you know him? This guy is quite a celebrity in Flagstaff. "
Alison shook her head and said, "It's not in my jurisdiction. I'm not familiar with him. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, his appearance and body shape are too fierce. When he first moved to Flagstaff, people kept calling the police, saying that gangs from other places had entered Flagstaff, haha."
"There was also a guy walking at night who saw him cleaning up the garbage. He was so scared that he called the police, saying that he was threatened …"
Chief Hood took a sip of his beer and looked at Li Du. "Your two men are not ordinary."
Li Du laughed. "Yes, you know, Chief. It's not easy for a Chinese like me to do business in the United States. With such men, my job will be easier."
"If you go out of town, with such men accompanying you, I'm sure more people will call the police, saying that they met a gang from another place. You may be treated as a gang leader," Louis laughed.
Li Du said, "Don't worry, we carry our tax records with us."
Big Quinn used the knife to cut open the burnt cacti, and then a piece of steaming meat fell to the ground. He sprinkled some spices and chili powder on it, and the aroma filled the air!
In addition to the barbecue pit, Big Quinn also operated a few other types of barbecue. Although he used an ordinary oven, the steps were complicated, and the seasoning was varied. The final product was also very delicious.
