Fortunately, the pressure cooker made a pressure-releasing sound, like a steam whistle. "Woo woo!"
The ear-piercing sound startled Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles. They jumped up, turned around, and ran away.
Their hearing was much better than that of humans, so the sound was much more unpleasant to their ears.
Li Du took advantage of this opportunity to drag Crispy Noodles away. He quietly dragged Crispy Noodles to the location of a fire opal.
Crispy Noodles did not know what he was going to do. He raised his head and stared at Li Du foolishly, his big eyes full of naivety.
Li Du sighed helplessly. He could only use his foot to pry open a rock and quietly throw a piece of preserved fruit down.
Crispy Noodles panicked at the sight of it. His two small claws deftly pried open the rock, found the piece of preserved fruit, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing a few times, he swallowed it.
Attracted by the piece of preserved fruit, Crispy Noodles finally smelled the fragrance of the preserved fruit under the rock. He waved his two small front claws and vigorously lifted up the rocks one by one. Very quickly, he dug a hole.
Li Du pretended to be surprised. He looked at Crispy Noodles digging and asked, "Hey, young man, what are you doing here?"
Crispy Noodles was famished. He had finally smelled the fragrance of the preserved fruit. How could he care about what Li Du said? Bury your head and work hard!
Big Quinn and Godzilla, who were chatting, noticed this scene and looked over curiously. Sophie skipped over and smiled. "Is there another fire opal here?"
Previously, Li Du had used Crispy Noodles's method of finding gems to find a few pieces of fire opal. At that time, he had discussed with Sophie whether Crispy Noodles had the ability to find fire opals.
Crispy Noodles lifted up a pile of rocks, and the fire opal finally appeared.
Li Du pushed him aside and dug out the fire opal, which was the size of a child's fist. He looked at Sophie in surprise and smiled. "You guessed it right. He really found a gem!"
Crispy Noodles not only found the gem, but also the two pieces of preserved fruit.
He used his claws to pick them up and quickly stuffed them into his mouth. He looked around furtively, and seeing that no one was coming to snatch his food, he chewed and swallowed them with satisfaction.
Not far away, Big Quinn and Godzilla were shocked. They said almost in unison, "F * ck, unbelievable!"
Sophie also thought it was inconceivable, but she had already seen Crispy Noodles' amazing ability last time, so she wasn't too surprised.
On the contrary, because of Big Quinn and Godzilla's surprise, she felt deeply proud as Crispy Noodles' guardian and took the initiative to explain, "This is Crispy Noodles' special ability. Don't tell anyone!"
Big Quinn was shocked. "Crispy noodle snacks have special abilities?"
Sophie nodded seriously. "Yes, yes. Crispy Noodles is a treasure hunting raccoon. He can always find fire opals in rocks. Otherwise, why do you think Li Du was able to find so many last time?"
Big Quinn looked at Li Du and smiled sheepishly. "I thought Boss was observant and saw it himself."
Li Du shrugged. "I saw some. Crispy Noodles also found some."
Sophie giggled and made a face at him. "You're really shameless, stealing Crispy Noodle's credit. It was clearly Crispy Noodle who found the gem."
Li Du smiled. This was the result he had hoped for.
The pot continuously made a "woo woo" sound. The pressure cooker heated up very quickly under the intense heat. In half an hour, the beef soup was almost done.
At this time, Li Du opened the pot and added rosemary, potato cubes, onion, and dried chili. All that was left was to simmer for a few more minutes. Once it was done, it would be ready to eat.
The newly dug up fire opal was of good quality and looked very beautiful. The color was a rare fiery red, with some green and purple spots that looked like stars.
The four of them admired the gem for a while. Li Du asked Sophie, "Do you want to give this to your dad as a birthday present?"
Sophie shook her head. "No, I want to find one myself. I'm sure I can find one myself."
Li Du said, "This piece is also found by you. I didn't find it, it was found by Crispy Noodles. You're Crispy Noodles' mother now, so what he found is equivalent to what you found."
Sophie continued to shake her head and said very seriously, "No, you can't do that. This belongs to you. I will really find a gem by myself."
Li Du thought to himself, You're thinking too much. If it wasn't for the little bug's help, he wouldn't have been able to find the fire opal.
What Cyril and the others said was right. It would be considered very lucky to find one fire opal after searching for a month.
Finding a fire opal did not depend on eyesight but luck. If luck was good, there would be a harvest. If luck was bad, one might not find even one stone in a year.
Sophie was a stubborn girl. Li Du knew that once she had made a decision, it would be difficult to change her mind. Hence, he decided not to waste his efforts and kept the gem.
After the beef soup was cooked, Li Du opened it and took out the sliced sweet and sour bamboo shoots to make a side dish. He said, "Come on, let's eat."
Ah Meow and the other two were the most anxious. They quickly ran to the car to find their rice bowls to eat.
The ocelot was agile and easily jumped into the car to find his rice bowl. The raccoon, who was good at climbing, also climbed up and found his rice bowl. However, the wolf cub could not.
Ah Ow tried to jump and hit her head on the tall tire of the Ford F350. With tears in her eyes, she stretched her neck and shouted, "Owww!"
Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles looked down at her from the car, each holding their own rice bowl in their mouths. They looked very proud.
Ah Ow felt wronged and turned to look at Li Du, howling.
Li Du was ready to eat. Seeing this scene, he felt helpless and shouted to Ah Meow, "Bring it down, hurry! Come and eat, or else there's nothing to eat! "
Ah Meow wagged his tail and ran back to take out the wolf cub's small iron bowl and threw it down. Ah Ow hurriedly picked it up and ran back to wait for the meal.
Crispy Noodles could eat fruits and preserved fruits, Ah Meow could eat dried meat and fish, and Ah Ow could eat meat soup with bones and some fresh meat.
Li Du originally did not want to feed the wolf cub fresh meat, but Sophie asked the vet and said that wolves had to eat fresh meat to get some amino acids and vitamins that they could not synthesize.
The three little ones buried their heads in their rice bowls and ate happily. Li Du scooped some meat soup for Sophie. She did not like meat, so the meat was mainly left for Big Quinn and Godzilla.
Sophie scooped a spoonful of meat soup, Li Du scooped a bowl, and the rest was divided between Big Quinn and Godzilla.
Sophie used the meat soup to soak the dry bread. After the coarse bread dried up, it could not be eaten directly. It was like dry firewood. However, if it absorbed the hot meat soup, it would be delicious.
Li Du ate two mouthfuls and felt that it was not spicy enough. He took out a bottle of chili sauce and scooped some. The rest was divided between Big Quinn and Godzilla.
