Toyota Prado left such a sentence, and then went away.
Seeing this, Li Du didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What's going on? We haven't even entered the town gate, and we've already been warned?"
Brother Wolf, ready to step on the gas, asked, "Catch up with them and teach them a lesson?"
Li Du waved his hand and said, "No, it's not necessary. Let's go and walk around the town first."
Because of many years of gem collecting experience, the town of Lightning Ridge was well built, and some of its buildings were famous in Australia.
Li Du didn't know how the people in the car had determined that they were looking for gems. There were also many tourists in Lightning Ridge, and there were many public waste mines in the town where tourists could hunt for treasures.
There were black opals in the waste mines, but it took great luck to find them, which was much more difficult to harvest than in the national park.
It was already afternoon, and Li Du found a hotel. After checking in, the group went in and rested for a while.
The boss wanted to refuse when he saw Li Du with his pets, but the expressionless Brother Wolf and the burly Godzilla came in. Seeing this, he could only shrug his shoulders and express his helplessness.
Sophie tactfully took out a hundred dollars and handed it to the boss. "This is the cost of our pets' lodging. If there is any pollution, we will compensate you multiple times."
Originally, this was just a polite remark. Ah Meow and the other two little ones were very smart and well-behaved. They all knew how to use the toilet and even pressed the flush button after using it.
However, they now had Ali, who did not have such an IQ. Besides, it was still very young and could not control its bowel movements. After entering the room, it immediately pooped on the floor.
This made Ah Meow and the other two little ones very unhappy, as they still loved to be clean.
Ah Meow patted Ah Ow. As a little brother, Ah Ow immediately rushed up and gave Ali a paw. She bared her teeth and scared it. "Ow! Ow! "
Ali was so scared that it squatted on the floor with its legs wide open. As a result, there was another pool of water on the floor.
Li Du came out and saw this. He sighed helplessly at Ah Ow, picked up Ali, wiped its butt, put it on a chair, and said, "Honey, we have to buy a cage for Ali."
Sophie poked her head out of the bathroom and said, "Why? It just lacks training. Ah Meow, Ah Ow, and Crispy Noodles have never lived in a cage. "
Li Du thought to himself, How can this be the same? All three of them had been modified by the little bug. Each of them was clever and clever, with an IQ higher than that of a child. Of course, there was no need to keep them in cages.
He went to bed, and when he woke up Sophie said, "Yes, we'll have to buy him a cage."
There were puddles of urine or feces on the floor, and Ali looked at them with his usual wide, innocent eyes.
At this time, it was already nightfall. Li Du brought a group of people out for dinner, and at the same time, inquired about the local situation.
Australia was a vast country with a rich variety of ingredients, but there were not many types of cuisine. Li Du had been there for some time, but other than seafood, he had not eaten much seafood.
However, if one liked to eat meat such as steak or lamb chops, then it would be great in Australia. The price of the meat there was low and the quality was good.
If one was not picky about which part of the meat they ate, they could eat until they were full in Australia, even if they did not spend money.
There was seafood to eat along the coast and on the islands, but there was not much in inland places like Lightning Ridge.
Li Du and the others went to the street and saw that there were many restaurants on both sides of the road, most of which had meat chops and the like.
Sophie chose a teppanyaki steak restaurant because it was small and quiet. When Li Du and the others went inside, it was full. They could bring their pets in if they tipped the owner a little more.
There was nothing to be picky about in the small restaurant. Li Du chose some steaks and asked the owner to grill them.
The boss was a strong white man in his fifties. One of his legs was lame, so he walked very slowly. His personality was also very slow.
He brought wine for everyone and then saw Ali hiding in Sophie's handbag. He asked curiously, "Are you from the zoo or the circus?"
Li Du smiled and said, "I know what you mean, but we are just ordinary people, and this is our pet."
The owner shrugged and said, "Keeping a kangaroo as a pet? To be honest, this is quite creative. "
After the wine was served, he prepared the steak in the kitchen. The small restaurant's kitchen was next to the hall, and Li Du and the others could see the whole scene in the kitchen.
The owner took two thick pieces of meat, placed them on a hot plate with butter boiling, and placed some plump oysters on the other side of the plate.
He grabbed a handful of salt and pepper, sprinkled them on the steak and oysters, grilled them for a while, and then poured some white wine on them. Just like making a burger, he added oysters between the two pieces of meat.
The owner was very slow, and so was the speed at which the dishes were served. To avoid dissatisfaction from Li Du and the others, he took the initiative to chat. "Are you here to play? Tourists? "
Li Du said, "Sort of. Do you have any recommendations?"
The owner pointed to the northwest and said, "I have some recommendations. You can go to the opal museum over there tomorrow. It's on Lunatic Mountain."
Then, instead of introducing the opal museum, he told them about Lunatic Mountain, which was a local legend.
About 30 years ago, a miner came to the town to look for black opal.
However, he did not follow the experience of his predecessors and did not choose to dig holes at the foot of the hills to find gems. Instead, he mined at the top of the hillside and was ridiculed as a lunatic.
Because of the formation of opal, it was almost impossible for there to be gems at the top of the hill. They were usually found in low-lying areas or underground.
However, after some hard work, the miner successfully mined the highest quality opal at that time. He bought the hill and named it Lunatic Mountain.
Lunatic Mountain had produced many high-quality black opals, but now that there were no more gems in it, the owner sold it to the town government, which transformed it into a very modern opal museum.
"There are also two castles that are very interesting. At the end of the town, there is a Single Prince Castle. You can go and take a look. The Single Prince is a tough character and is also a role model for us miners here."
The owner brought the first batch of steaks to them and then introduced the Single Prince Castle.
Like miners in other industries, the lives of black opal miners were tough. Many of them set many dreams for themselves in order to survive.
Some of the dreams were very unrealistic, but the miners worked hard to put them into practice.
The Single Prince Castle was a representative work. The owner said, "That is a real castle. The Single Prince spent more than 40 years building it by himself.
Believe me, he brought back a big stone from the mine every day. Day after day, year after year, he built this castle as a gift for his future wife. "
"And the result?"
The owner laughed. "The result? Haha. "
