If this opal was not a fire opal but a black opal, it would be worth a lot. With its size, weight, and purity, it could be sold for at least a few hundred thousand dollars.
However, among the fire opals, its value was relatively low. Li Du estimated it at around one hundred thousand dollars.
Sophie held the opal as if it were a child. She looked at it carefully under the light and smiled. "Beautiful, really beautiful. Do you like it?"
Li Du said, "I like it. It's really beautiful."
Hearing this, Sophie tilted her head and thought for a while before pushing the opal in front of him.
Li Du was puzzled. "What? Don't you have a box here? "
Sophie said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Li Du laughed and said, "Give it to me? Haha, isn't this a gift for your dad? "
Sophie shook her head and said, "I can find another one. If you like this one, I'll give it to you."
Li Du hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, dear, I appreciate your kindness. However, I like it because it can be sold for money..
. "He felt that it was not right to say this, so he added," Of course, if this is a gift from you, I definitely won't sell it. I mean... "
Sophie tapped his lips with her finger and smiled. "You don't have to explain. I understand. However, you gave me two opals as gifts. At most, I'll give one to my dad."
Li Du covered her hand and said, "This is a gift for your dad. This is a gem that you spent a lot of effort and effort to find. It should belong to your dad."
Hearing this, Sophie pursed her lips and smiled.
Li Du thought that his words had moved her. Unexpectedly, she glanced at him and laughed softly. "Was it really me who found it?"
Sophie was too smart. She might have been too excited when she first found the opal and didn't think much about it, thinking that she had found a gem.
However, now that she had calmed down, she could roughly guess the truth.
Li Du's expression did not change. He said, "Of course it's true. Did you think that Crispy Noodles found it and threw it in front of you?"
Sophie continued to smile and did not say a word.
Li Du laughed and said, "You're underestimating your luck. If I wanted to do that, I would definitely do it when we're about to leave. There's no reason for me to be so eager to please you now."
What he said made sense. The female doctor scratched her forehead doubtfully and said, "That's right. Is my luck really that good?"
As she spoke, she became excited again.
Li Du flicked her on the head and said, "Of course, there's a saying in my hometown: a girl who loves to laugh will always have good luck."
Speaking up to this point, he suddenly thought of that girl called Tina. Of course, he thought of Tina purely because Tina really liked to smile.
Sophie winked at him playfully and said, "I like that slang. My luck is really good. Look, I've been waiting for twenty-eight years. I thought I wouldn't see my Prince Charming, but here you are."
If Li Du did not know that the female doctor's love history was as pure as a piece of white paper, he would have suspected that she was in love.
Sophie always managed to move him without even realizing it.
Since he was moved, he would hug and kiss her.
After working until midnight, Li Du had gained a lot and found another 18 opals.
It had only been five hours. In the first five hours of the previous time, he had only found less than 10 opals. This time, the number had doubled.
Previously, he had found the Overarching Sunset, but this time, there was none. The most beautiful opal was the one he had casually tossed to Sophie.
Even so, he had gained a lot that night, at least $400,000 to $500,000 in income.
The little bug had been used for a little too long. By midnight, Li Du was a little exhausted.
Sophie felt sorry for him and wiped his sweat. She said, "You don't have to work so hard. Rest for a while and have some supper. Let's go to bed quickly."
At this moment, a figure approached their campsite. Ah Ow immediately turned her head and stared coldly at the person with her green eyes.
The person was Old Deckard. He waved and said, "Li, Sophie, do you guys want to rest?"
Li Du stood up tiredly. "I have plans. Why?"
Old Deckard said, "I want to make some Indian spicy grilled chicken salad tonight. You know, I'm an old and poor fella. I don't have anything to thank you for, but I want to invite you for a meal."
Li Du walked over and handed him a bottle of beer. "Don't undervalue yourself, my old friend. You said you want to make Indian spicy grilled chicken salad. Is this Indian cuisine?"
Old Deckard laughed. "Yes, my wife is from India, so I know a little about Indian cuisine."
Li Du gave him a thumbs up. "That's great. I've never eaten Indian cuisine. Sophie, how about you?"
Sophie said, "I've eaten it before. It's delicious. I can still remember it."
Old Deckard laughed happily. "What are you waiting for? My two little friends, come and try it with me. "
Li Du knew that he could not prepare a lot of food, so he shook his head at Big Quinn and Godzilla, signaling them to settle their supper themselves.
Big Quinn said to Godzilla, "We'll also eat barbecue and grilled chicken. I'll let you have a taste of my cooking."
Godzilla smacked his lips. "Yeah, I like you."
Big Quinn's expression suddenly twisted and looked ferocious. "What do you mean? I think of you as a brother. "
"I like your barbecue. I don't want to say too many words," Godzilla explained.
Big Quinn pretended to be relieved and patted his chest. "That's great. If you like me, then we'll be in big trouble!"
Old Deckard's campsite was located in the northwest corner of Li Du's campsite.
They walked to the entrance of the tent and soon smelled the strong aroma of tomatoes, cilantro, and lemon juice.
The autumn night was cool to begin with. Smelling the mixed aroma of vegetables made them feel even more refreshed.
Li Du brought beer and champagne. Old Deckard said, "Since you brought Corona, there's no need for my Budweiser to appear."
Corona was the flagship product of the Moroccan Beer Company in Mexico. It had a unique transparent bottle packaging and was very popular in the United States. It had a unique taste and was sold well in the United States. It was considered a high-end beer.
Budweiser was more famous than Corona and had a wider variety of beers. Corona was targeted at the middle class, while Budweiser had many products targeted at the poor.
Old Deckard took out a lemon and sliced it before stuffing it into the Corona.
In the American market, high-end beers were not drunk directly but had some ingredients added to them.
Among them, Corona beer was best matched with lemon slices, especially white lemon slices. The sweet and sour lemon and the cooling Corona beer could be said to be a golden combination.
Old Deckard did not usually have the chance to taste Corona. After Li Du passed it to him, he took a sip and finished half the bottle in one gulp.
He licked his lips reluctantly and rubbed his hands together. "Alright, my two little friends, it's time to try Old Deckard's cooking."
