Tomatoes, chrysanthemums, cucumbers, purple cabbage, onions, and red peppers could be used in a vegetable salad.
Li Du used olive oil and lemon vinegar. He had also bought yogurt on the way, so instead of salad dressing, he used yogurt.
Sophie laughed when she saw it. "Will it be sour?"
Li Du said, "But it will be healthier. If you think it's sour, you can eat less."
Crispy Noodles, whose short hair was still wet, wandered around his feet. He put down a small tomato. Crispy Noodles washed it with its two paws and chewed on it happily.
Ah Meow jumped onto the stove to look for dried fish. Unfortunately, he did not find anything, so he continued to sulk.
However, Li Du cooked chicken liver for him. Ocelots loved this kind of food. After getting the liver, Ah Meow's sulk flew away and he became happy again.
With the chicken soup, Li Du also made a soup, which was cream of mushroom soup.
Sophie went to bed early and ate less at night. She liked soup.
These two soups were paired with a vegetable salad. Li Du made another dish with mushrooms, black pepper fried mushrooms.
There was a famous dish in Western cuisine, which was black pepper fried abalone mushrooms. However, they did not have abalone mushrooms, but they did have mushrooms. Li Du saw that these white mushrooms were very plump and thought they would be good to fry.
He washed the mushrooms, dried them with kitchen paper, sliced them, sprinkled butter in a pan, and fried them over low heat.
After that, he sprinkled a little salt. He could not put too much salt. If it was too salty, it would cover up the freshness and sweetness of the mushrooms. These were wild mushrooms, and they still maintained a perfect natural flavor.
Finally, he sprinkled some chopped black pepper, and the dish was ready. It was very simple.
Sophie saw it and licked her lips. "Fried mushrooms like this must be delicious."
The mushrooms looked good. They were fried in butter until they were golden brown, and the chopped black pepper was sprinkled on top. The color matched well, and the mushrooms remained plump.
Li Du passed the fork to her and said, "You can try it."
Sophie switched to chopsticks and smiled. "I have to respect your success. An Eastern chef's dish, of course, should be cooked with Eastern utensils."
Compared to the first time she ate, she used chopsticks much better.
The taste of the fried mushrooms was as delicious as it looked. Sophie ate half a plate, took a sip of the chicken soup, and sighed, "Oh my god, it's so delicious. I ate too much tonight."
The two of them did not eat much. Li Du packed a pot of chicken soup and brought it with him. When they returned to the camp, he gave it to Godzilla. "Here, supper."
The burly Mexican man was overjoyed. He took out the tequila and was delighted.
As he drank and ate, Li Du asked, "What did you do in the Bay Group?"
Godzilla said, "I'm a thug. I don't participate in drug trafficking or distribution. I just go and fight when there's a gang conflict."
He knew what Li Du was worried about and said it out loud.
Hearing this, Li Du was relieved. Godzilla was very smart. What he was afraid of was this gang of drug dealers and drug makers.
As they drank, Godzilla chatted with him about his past in the gang.
He had not been in the Bay Group for long, only two months. However, because he was strong and had practiced martial arts, he was highly regarded in the thug team.
"Boss, I know that the Bay Group is a demon to the outside world. But to me, they accepted me when I had no food to eat. I even got to know a few good buddies. I'm simple and I feel very satisfied."
"Then why did you leave?" Li Du asked.
Godzilla's eyes dimmed. "There was a fight over territory. We were ambushed and a few of our buddies died."
Li Du nodded. "You decided to leave after you realized the dangers of this industry?"
Godzilla said, "I knew it was dangerous. I also knew that we were b * stards, villains who deserved to go to hell. I don't know how to say it. There were a lot of things, and a lot of things happened. "
He shook his head, picked up the pot of soup, and took a big gulp.
Li Du saw that he was in low spirits and stopped asking. He patted Godzilla's shoulder and said, "Let's talk about this next time. But you're wrong about one thing."
He paused, gave a bright smile, and said, "The others may be b * stards, but you're not a b * stard, and you won't go to hell!"
Godzilla responded with a warm smile and said, "Thank you, boss."
The next day, Hans came over. Li Du said, "Help me find out if there are any carriages for sale."
Hans reacted quickly and said, "What, did you find something good from the Amish again?"
Li Du shook his head. "No, I owe them a favor."
Hans said, "There must be some in the old goods market. Let's go to Hoffman's to take a look. Anyway, we're going to auction a high-pressure fire extinguisher this weekend."
Li Du said, "Okay."
Hoffman's auctions were usually held once a week. However, if there were more good items, they would be held twice a week — one in the middle of the week and one on the weekend.
Spring and autumn were the peak seasons for old goods trading. Due to the changing weather, people traded more during these two seasons.
It was the end of August and the beginning of September. Although the weather was still hot, the smell of autumn was approaching. Old goods trading became more popular than the weather.
Li Du and Hans went to the old goods market. Blacktooth Robbie was riding a horse. When he saw the two of them, he jumped off and greeted them. "Hey, Big Li, Big Fox, what good stuff do you have?"
Hans said, "Come over and take a look. Our good stuff is that fire extinguisher. We need a carriage for the Amish. Do you have any news?"
"You've found the right guy, haha." Robbie laughed, revealing a mouthful of black teeth. It was as if he had just crawled out of a pile of ash.
Hearing this, Hans immediately asked, "Do you know anyone who has it?"
Robbie nodded. "Yes, Jet. That guy has a carriage parked at his house, but it's not easy to get it. I think he wants to modify the carriage and sell it for a high price."
Although Hans knew many people, that was only for the storage auction industry. He didn't know many people in the old goods market. He didn't know Jet.
Li Du took out a hundred dollars and passed it to Robbie. "Take us to meet this guy. Whether or not he succeeds, the money is yours."
Robbie flashed his black teeth again. "Haha, Big Li, you're a straightforward man. No problem, come with me. Oh, are you interested in horses? I've got a good one. "
As he spoke, he pointed at the quarter horse that he had ridden earlier.
Li Du was surprised. "There are people who trade horses?"
Robbie shrugged and said, "Yes, old goods trading. In the past, they could even trade slaves. My grandfather said that his grandfather was traded from Maine to Arizona."
Li Du thought for a moment and said, "This horse of yours seems pretty good."
