There was a pattern on the bottleneck, which was the pattern of the tree itself. It was very natural and graceful, and the whole vase was like a piece of art.
Li Du looked at the vase and asked, "Did you carve this? Yourself? "
The blue-eyed little girl nodded and whispered, "Yes, do you like it?"
Li Du kissed the vase, then squatted down and kissed her on the forehead. He said, "Yeah, I like it very much. It's great."
He was not being polite. The vase was really great, and he could not help but marvel at the little girl's carving skills.
He was an adult, but even if he was given a tree trunk to carve a vase, he would not be able to do it so well.
The little girl smiled shyly and contentedly. She took out a small box from her bag and said, "I also brought gifts for Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles."
Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles stretched their necks to look at it expectantly.
Then, the little girl opened the small box and revealed a few pieces of sparkling ice.
The sun shone on the ice, reflecting the soft light. It was very beautiful.
But what kind of gift was ice? At least a small dried fish? Ah Meow looked at the little girl in shock, his cat eyes staring like a bull's.
Victoria asked, "Ah Meow, I brought you ice. Do you like it?"
"Meow!" Ah Meow waved his claws in dissatisfaction. I like it, my a * s. I'll knock over your ice box!
Li Du gave him a flick on the head and said, "Be quiet, don't be so noisy."
Then he smiled gently at Victoria. "Ah Meow likes it very much. He likes it very much. Look at how excited he is."
Ah Meow felt wronged and scratched his head with his claws, full of despair.
Victoria could not read his emotions. She giggled and said, "As long as Ah Meow likes it. I'll bring him more ice in the future. And Crispy Noodles, do you like it? "
The raccoon was very clever. It had seen Ah Meow express his dissatisfaction and get hit on the head by Li Du.
So, when the little girl asked it, it immediately went up and rubbed its head against her short legs. It even took the initiative to raise its head and grin.
Li Du patted its head appreciatively. Hmm, this is a good boy.
Godzilla went into the house and squeezed a glass of apple juice for Victoria. Mother Mesa's house was not close to the campsite. The little girl rode her bicycle over, hot and tired.
The little girl took the juice and said obediently, "Thank you, uncle."
Godzilla smiled and continued to unload the truck.
Li Du asked, "You've been looking for me for the past few days?"
The little girl lowered her head and drank the juice. Her bangs blocked her face, so her expression couldn't be seen. Only her small voice could be heard. "Yes."
Li Du had been in Las Vegas for the past few days. Naturally, she could not find him, so she insisted on going there once a day and checking on him every morning.
This was what the treasure hunters at the campsite had told him. After hearing this, Li Du asked, "Why are you so insistent on giving me gifts?"
The little girl did not speak. She lowered her head and sipped her juice.
Li Du had work to do. Seeing that she didn't want to talk, he let her play in the cottage. He also handed Ah Meow, Ah Ow, and Crispy Noodles to her so that they could play together.
However, just as he was about to leave, the little girl, who had been silent, said, "Brother, are you going to work?"
"Yes." Li Du nodded.
"Then I'll help you with your work. I can work very well, "the little girl whispered to him.
Li Du said, "You can play here. Brother will cook something delicious for you later."
The little girl shook her head and said, "I'll help you. Mother Mesa said that people should work in exchange for food."
Looking at her stubborn look, Li Du had a headache. Unloading goods from a truck was hard work and dangerous. A six or seven-year-old girl like her was not suitable to help.
He remembered that the girl had a pen, paper, and comic books in her backpack. He asked, "Victoria, do you like to draw?"
"Yes."
"How about this, you draw here and give me the paintings later. I like to collect paintings. This is also work, right?"
The little girl said happily, "Okay."
Li Du went over to help pack. This time, they had brought back two trucks of things from Las Vegas, mostly furniture and appliances.
Hans said, "We have to expand our fleet. At least buy another truck. Look, we bought six storage units in one go. We can't just rent cars every time, right?"
They did have this problem. This time, the six storage units were either small or small, which was not too much. If it were six storage units of medium size and above, they would have to rent four or five cars.
Li Du was too lazy to think about this. He said, "You'll be in charge."
Hans was surprised and asked, "You don't seem interested?"
Li Du said, "You'll be in charge of the company from now on. I'm going to Winslow's national park to look for fire opals. I might not go to storage auctions as often."
Hearing this, Hans panicked. "Buddy, I agree that you should pursue your hobby. But if you don't go to auctions, how are we going to find good storage units?"
Li Du said, "I don't participate much, but it's not that I don't participate. If there's an important storage auction, look for me. If it's not important, then you guys can decide."
That was acceptable to Hans. Storage auctions were a job that could only be done for three months. Moreover, they still had a lot of valuable items in their camp that they had not gotten rid of.
The items in their hands were worth millions of dollars. He would not have time to attend auctions in the near future, so he had to think of a way to sell these items.
As they were unloading the trucks, the old goods treasure hunters came over with interest.
"Hey, Big Li, how do you want to trade for this set of cutlery? Or do you want to sell it? "
"This is a set of pure silver antique cutlery. It's very valuable. Are you sure you have something worthy of it?" Li Du said.
"Alright, obviously you know how valuable it is. What about these appliances? Television, microwave, oven, and so on. How do you want to trade? "
Hans put his arm on Lu Guan's shoulder and said, "I don't want to trade for these. I have an idea. We want to build something fun."
Lu Guan said, "Don't, Big Fox. It's my idea."
Hans said domineeringly, "I'm the second boss, your leader. The subordinate's idea is the leader's idea."
After working until noon, Li Du opened the fridge and prepared to cook.
They had not been in the camp for a while. The fridge only had some pork, pig head, and offal from the Berkeley Black Pig.
After taking out these items, Li Du asked Hans and the others, "I'm going to make a Chinese farmhouse dish. Are you guys interested?"
Hans quickly nodded. "Yes, yes, yes."
The little girl was also nodding. She was drooling as she nodded. "Yes, yes, yes."
Li Du smiled and patted her little head. Thinking back to the time when he was selling cookies, he was even more certain that this little girl was a foodie.
