Godzilla and Big Quinn nodded their heads as they ate the meat stew and bread with chili sauce.
Godzilla liked to smack his lips while eating. Big Quinn had a good upbringing and ate quietly, but after getting familiar with Godzilla, he also learned to smack his lips.
Li Du thought it was a bad habit. When he was young, if he smacked his lips while eating, his parents would hit his mouth with chopsticks.
But he had to admit that smacking their lips while eating was good. The more they smacked their lips, the more delicious the food was.
So when Godzilla and Big Quinn smacked their lips, he also smacked his lips.
Sophie noticed and stared at him, trying to signal him with her eyes.
Li Du was stunned. "What's wrong? Do you want chili sauce? "
Sophie was speechless. She took small bites of the meat stew and bread and decided to demonstrate.
Unfortunately, Mr. Li did not want to learn. Seeing that Sophie did not have any requests, he politely pushed the sweet and sour bamboo shoots in front of her and continued to smack his lips.
Sophie put a piece of bamboo shoot in her mouth. It was crisp and delicious. Because there was ice in it, there was a slight coolness to it, which made the taste even better.
She could not care less about Li Du's table manners. She happily ate the bamboo shoots. The sweet and sour taste was simply delicious.
Godzilla put a piece in his mouth and laughed. He pointed at the bamboo shoot and said, "It's delicious. Eat this!"
Without hesitation, Mr. Li pushed the bamboo shoots in the lunch box in front of Sophie and said, "This is for your lady boss. You guys eat the meat!"
Godzilla said, "It's not as good as the bamboo shoots."
Li Du snorted. "You're not stupid. Of course the bamboo shoots are the best."
Big Quinn shouted exaggeratedly, "Boss, you can't do this. We're your most loyal subordinates. You're affecting our loyalty to you."
Godzilla said, "But it doesn't affect."
Seeing the three of them arguing, Sophie pursed her lips and smiled. She divided the bamboo shoots in the lunch box into two portions. She kept one for herself and pushed the other to the other two. "This is ours, and this is yours."
Godzilla quickly picked up their portion and poured it into his own lunch box.
Big Quinn was dumbfounded. "Can you understand if I say f * ck now?"
After the meal, it was time to start work. The national park was surrounded by desert, so the temperature was higher than in Flagstaff. The afternoon wind was also hot.
It just so happened that it was two o'clock when they finished eating, which was the hottest time of the day. Even standing under the sun for a while would make them sweat profusely, let alone work.
Li Du lifted up the sides of the tent and inflated the sleeping bag cushion. Then, he and Sophie lay on it to cool down.
Ah Meow, Crispy Noodles, and Ah Ow stayed around them. The three of them were like three small furnaces, so hot that Li Du kept wiping his sweat.
Sophie's face was flushed. Li Du wiped her sweat and asked, "How is it? Do you regret coming here?"
The female doctor said carelessly, "Don't look down on me. I'm not a flower in a greenhouse. When I was an intern in a field hospital in Iraq, I once performed surgery on people in the trenches in temperatures over 50 degrees Celsius."
Li Du praised, "Impressive."
Big Quinn raised his beer and said, "Boss, do you want one?"
Li Du shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's drink tonight."
Big Quinn went to the cooler at the back of the truck and took a bottle of beer for Godzilla. He then took two bottles of orange juice and handed them to the two of them. "You probably won't reject this."
Seeing the orange juice, Li Du smiled and said, "You even prepared this?"
Big Quinn said, "My wife prepared it. This is her freshly squeezed juice. She also added a little peppermint water. Not only does it quench your thirst, it's also very cooling."
Indeed, Li Du drank a mouthful of orange juice, which left a faint cooling sensation in his mouth.
As they drank cold drinks and iced beer, some gem hunters noticed them and came over to greet them.
Seeing how they were enjoying the cool drinks, the gem hunters were envious. "Hey, buddy, are you guys here for a vacation? It doesn't look bad at all. "
Li Du didn't see any trace of Cyril and the others among them, so he said in a friendly manner, "Want a drink?"
The gem hunters were also rough people and didn't stand on ceremony. Upon receiving his invitation, they said, "If it's beer, then forget it. We still have to work. If there's a cold drink, it would be great to have some."
Big Quinn got up to take a look and said, "There's not enough juice. I didn't bring much. How about Coke? It's also iced. "
The gem hunters weren't picky. Each of them took a bottle of iced Coke and drank it with satisfaction.
Seeing that they had set up their tents, one of the gem hunters said, "Are you guys planning to work here for a long time? Fight a protracted war? "
Li Du nodded. "At least for two nights. We can't waste the night, right?"
An Asian gem hunter said, "If you're planning to fight at night, you should gather a few people. Everyone can take care of each other and guard each other. It's very dangerous for you to stay here."
The area of one square kilometer was very large. If there was only one gem hunter, it would be very lonely at night.
Li Du didn't understand these rules. He was a rookie in this field.
After avoiding the time when the temperature was the highest, the gem hunters said their goodbyes and everyone got up to work.
Looking at the scorching sun in the west, Li Du sighed. "Arizona is literally on top of a volcano. In my hometown, it's already autumn."
Godzilla snorted. "It's already snowing at my uncle's house."
Li Du was surprised. "There's such a cold place in Mexico?"
Godzilla said, "My uncle is in Alaska."
Li Du realized that he couldn't communicate with him.
Sophie said, "The weather in Winslow isn't bad. Maybe it's because the temperature has warmed up these few days. You know, there have been problems with the global climate in recent years."
Li Du felt that it might be true. The last time they came to the national park, it hadn't been this hot.
After resting for a while, Ah Meow, Crispy Noodles, and the rest had more or less digested. Crispy Noodles, in particular, had eaten very little in the afternoon and was hungry again.
Li Du was waiting for him to get hungry. Otherwise, he wouldn't be looking for candied fruit.
Crispy Noodles didn't smell the aroma of the candied fruit. He first went to Sophie and rubbed against her. This was what he had learned from Ah Ow.
Sophie wasn't so easy to negotiate. She said, "Crispy Noodles, can you eat two meals a day? You can't eat too much. Otherwise, you'll get fat and you'll be miserable. "
Crispy Noodles had a sad look on his face. I'm so hungry that I've turned into raccoon skin, and you're telling me I'll get fat?
Li Du dragged him away and said, "Come, look for gems. If you find gems, I'll give you some rewards — very delicious candied fruit."
As they got closer, Crispy Noodles could smell the aroma of the candied fruit. When Li Du brought him to a place where the candied fruit was, he instantly became excited. He bent down and dug the gravel with all his might.
Seeing this, Godzilla and Big Quinn perked up and exclaimed, "He found something again?"
