They drank from night till dawn. Li Du could still hold his liquor, but his body could not take it anymore. He was very tired, so he volunteered to go back first.
"Those who go back first have to pay!" A young man named Turis said with a sly smile.
Li Du said, "Are you guys serious? I think someone knows how much I can hold my liquor. If I keep drinking, the guy who pays the bill will be heartbroken for a while. "
Remembering the rumors about him at the table, Big Beard Carl said, "Hey, don't stop him. This guy just finished half of our beer!"
A few treasure hunters quickly moved aside.
Li Du smiled and walked to the bar. He asked the owner, "How much?"
"I haven't calculated the exact amount, but I think it's about 1,500 dollars," the owner said with a shrug.
Li Du took out 2,000 dollars and slapped it on the table. "The more is the tip. If it's not enough, let them pay."
Seeing this, the owner slapped the table and shouted to the treasure hunters, "B * stards, someone is paying for you. You got to know a generous guy!"
The treasure hunters who were making a ruckus turned their heads and gave Li Du a thumbs up. Big Beard Carl called out, "Hey, Chinaman, I kind of like you."
"Just don't fall in love with me." Li Du drank the last glass of beer and went out to hail a taxi.
Back at Pine Tree Tops, all the houses had turned off their lights. Only the street lamps and emergency lights were still lit with a dim yellow light.
The security in American cities was not very good, especially in the slums and ghetto areas. No one dared to come out at night.
Flagstaff was not bad. It was a small place where the people were simple and honest.
Li Du went upstairs, opened the door, and walked into the house. He took off his coat and threw it away. He wanted to take a shower.
“STOP！ Hands on your head, kneel! "A loud voice suddenly rang out. At the same time, the white lights came on.
Li Du was startled by the sudden shout. When the lights came on, he was even more frightened. He saw a woman pointing a gun at him at the door of the study!
The muzzle of the gun was black, darker than the night!
Li Du raised his hand and shouted, "Don't shoot, we're on the same side! I'm on the same side! "
The policewoman said sternly, "Who are you? Barge in … Uh, Li? "
Li Du hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it's me, Li Du, your tenant!"
Ever since he had rented the house, this was the first time he had seen the policewoman, the landlord. He had been looking forward to the days when the two of them could live under the same roof. No matter what, Rose was a beautiful girl.
Although they had not seen each other for the past few days, Li Du had imagined many times how they would meet again, and these scenarios did not include the other party pointing a gun at him.
Rose put away her gun and said unhappily, "Don't you know how to knock? Also, why is he reeking of alcohol? Next time, don't come back with the smell of alcohol! "
Li Du smiled sheepishly and said, "Just a few friends gathering, so we just had a few drinks."
Rose did not say a word. Her face was as calm as still water. She turned around and returned to the study.
When she entered, she paused and asked, "Did you clean up the house?"
"Yes."
"Thank you." The long-legged policewoman returned to the study room.
Li Du dug his ears. Did he hear a 'thank you' just now? Perhaps he was hallucinating because he had too much to drink. This cold policewoman did not seem like someone who would say thank you.
He looked around the living room and saw a few posters on the wall. It was also a policewoman, but it was a Caucasian policewoman. Li Du recognized her: Policewoman Maggie, the female lead of Frozen Blood and Ice.
Frozen Blood and Ice was an extremely famous movie in the United States. It was about an unlucky car salesman who fell into financial difficulties but was unable to get help from his rich father-in-law. So he hired two kidnappers to kidnap his wife and extort a ransom from his father-in-law, which led to all kinds of murders.
At that time, the movie swept all the major film awards in Europe and the United States. There were several posters of "Frozen Fury" on the wall. The female star, Frances McDormand, who played the role of Maggie, looked like a chilled jade with a sunny smile and clean eyes.
After a good night's sleep, the house was quiet when he woke up the next day. Rose had probably gone to work again.
In the past two days, Li Du had bought a lot of vegetables, fruits, and meat in the fridge. In the past, there had only been expired fast food and various kinds of junk food.
He went out for a run with Ah Meow. It was great to live in a middle and upscale neighborhood. He just had to run around the neighborhood and did not have to go out on the streets to inhale car exhaust.
On the way, he had planned his breakfast. Egg pancakes, minced pork congee with century eggs, and some homemade pickles. That would do.
First was to cook the congee. Before he went out for a run, he first diced the lean meat and marinated it with salt, cooking wine, cornstarch, and olive oil.
When he came back, the meat should be ready to taste.
He boiled the rice over a high flame and sprinkled some lemon juice on the sliced century eggs. This was used to get rid of the smell. Otherwise, when the century eggs came into contact with the lean meat, it would easily produce a fishy smell.
When the congee was boiling, he turned the big flame to a small one. He sprinkled shredded ginger, century eggs, lean meat, salt, and chicken essence. Next, it was time to eat.
There was an electric biscuit in the kitchen, so it was easy to make egg pancakes.
He mixed the eggs, flour, and a little water to make a paste, sprinkled a lot of chopped green onions, and seasoned it with pepper.
He scooped the batter into the electric biscuit, sprinkled some black sesame seeds on top, and heated it up.
Throughout the process, Ah Meow squatted on the stove and watched attentively. During the process, he stretched out his claws ten times, meowed a hundred times, and swallowed a few times.
When everything was ready, Li Du prepared to wash up and eat.
But when he turned his head, he saw someone standing at the kitchen door. Rose had appeared out of nowhere!
Li Du was shocked, and so was Ah Meow. With a scream, he jumped a meter high on the spot. His jumping ability was enough to make NBA stars gasp in shock.
"You're scaring me to death," he said subconsciously.
Rose shrugged. "Why are you so timid? Are you a man? "
Li Du said subconsciously, "Try me if I'm a man … Ahem, you know."
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and changed his words. Otherwise, he would have to look for a new house that day.
Rose was wearing home clothes. The clothes were made of ordinary cotton and had small flowers printed on them. It was ugly, but her slender figure had a different charm.
When it was time for breakfast, Rose was the first to sit at the table.
Li Du said, "I thought you went to work. In the future, if you want to stay for breakfast, let me know. I'll prepare more."
Rose looked at the two big egg pancakes, a pot of century egg and lean meat porridge, and a big bowl of chili oil on the table. "I don't eat much," she said.
"I eat a lot."
Then, under Rose's shocked gaze, Li Du slowly ate one and a half egg pancakes and almost an entire pot of century egg and lean meat porridge.
This egg pancake was not a small pancake made in a wok, but a big pancake baked in an electric biscuit.
Eating one and a half cards was not that shocking, but Mr. Li's unsatisfied expression was even more shocking.
