As the sun sets, fires light up in the settlements, and bonfires burn in many of the clearings. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A bonfire was also lit at Victor's door, but instead of throwing firewood on the ground and lighting it, it was placed in a stove that was cleverly designed to retain ashes and sparks, as well as emit glow heat.

The island at night was not comfortable, cold and wet.

Li Du and the others rubbed their hands and gathered around the stove, and Victor's wife came out to hang up a large kettle, which was filled with hot coffee, and soon the aroma of coffee spread.

"It's the best smell I've ever smelled. Hannah said excitedly.

Victor, who was processing the bird's meat, turned around and said, "You'll know what's the best when you stew the meat!"

Li Du saw that it was not easy for him to work there, so he said to Brother Wolf: "Go and help him clean up." ”

Da Ao was very industrious, he got up and said, "I'll help." ”

Two new forces joined in, and the bird meat, venison, rabbit meat, etc. were quickly cleaned up.

The coffee pot made a 'whin' sound, and the thick aroma spread along the steam.

Victor's wife prepared a large cup for each of them, and then the hot coffee was shared.

An oven was moved out, and Victor put the wild goose legs, lamb shanks, venison, and chicken thighs on top of the chicken and began to roast the meat.

At the same time, the coffee pot was removed, and he hung up an iron pot with a pile of meat and vegetables in it, and he made a mess of stew.

"It's savage enough and interesting. Li Du said.

Victor's wife took over the oven, and Victor wiped his hands and sat down, laughing, "That's the specialty, you can't eat it in the city." Rest assured, it's hygienic, and you'll try it later, it tastes great. ”

Waiting for the meal to start, they chatted casually.

Li Du asked, "Where were you from before, and why did you live here?" To be honest, I think it would be boring to live on this island for a long time. ”

Victor said: "Yes, it's boring, but it's easy to live here, what do we want to live? Don't we just want to live happily? ”

The masturbator wondered: "There is no entertainment, there is not even electricity, and you are still happy?"

Victor said, "Who said there was no electricity?"

The official said, "Is there electricity? Then why is the whole village still so dark? You also rely on the firelight to light it here." ”

Victor pointed to the small building and said, "There is a generator in it, but it is too expensive, unless you are willing to pay for it, I will not waste diesel." ”

Li Du said: "How much does it cost?"

"Look at how many lights you turn on, and each light is fifty dollars an hour. ”

This charge is really expensive, Li Du didn't care, and said: "Then turn on the light, it's too dark, I'm afraid I'll eat it in my nose later." ”

Several of the children giggled.

Li Du gave him five hundred yuan, and Victor turned on two lights as he asked.

These two lamps are iodine-tungsten lamps, not dim small bulbs, as soon as the two lights are turned on, the surroundings of the small building suddenly become as bright as day.

"Edison was so great that he invented the electric light. Da O's daughter Suzanne said.

Victoria immediately added: "Franklin was also very good, he invented electricity, and if there is no electricity, then what is the use of electric lights?"

Electricity and lights are very important, and as the lights come on, the village suddenly seems to come alive.

One after another, more than a dozen people came to the store with rice bowls, some of them brought food and drink, and then everyone gathered together to eat and chat.

Hans said, "It's a bit like a dinner in your village. ”

Li Du shrugged and said, "Yes, a small place has the benefits of a small place." ”

The meat is still simmering, and some of the roast meat is ready.

Brother Wolf shaved off the surface of the large rotating piece of meat, and Victoria and Ivana became little waiters, constantly bringing the roast meat to everyone to eat.

These barbecue meats are useless with any ingredients, so when you eat them, you should have a small piece of salt and a seasoning packet, rub them on the barbecue with salt, and pat them on top with a seasoning package, so that you can eat them.

The meat is delicious, and the simple seasoning can maintain the original flavor of the meat, and Li Du and others are full of praise for eating.

Victor smiled and hugged the hookah and began to smoke again, and Li Du asked him, "Are you going to live here forever?"

"Why not?" he asked rhetorically, "unless I'm seriously ill and have to go to the city for surgery, I'll always live here, and I love it." ”

Li Du said: "But how to make money here?"

Victor said: "I have medical insurance, we have it, and most of our money is used to buy insurance, and we rely on insurance to settle claims in case of accidents, and we live here if nothing happens." ”

"It's okay to stay here, as long as you don't get into trouble. An old man with gray hair added, "I've lived here for 40 years, and I used to have headaches and brain fever when I was in Sydney, but I've been healthy for 40 years." ”

Li Du was surprised: "You have lived here for forty years?"

The old man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, from the age of thirty-eight to here, I am now seventy-eight years old. ”

Hearing this, Li Du was even more surprised, the old man didn't look seventy-eight years old, and saying that he was in his sixties would make people believe that his hair was still black.

"You heard it right, Uncle Bell is seventy-eight years old, and he was one of the first people to come to the island, and they came here to take refuge in fear of the outbreak of World War III," Victor said. ”

"I don't want to be sent to the battlefield by the British Crown, like the boys who commemorated Anzac Day, how unlucky are they? We are a world away from the UK, but we have to fight for their nobles. The old man continued.

Someone next to him was eating sausages and said with a smile: "You think too much, how can a world war break out so easily? Besides, Australia has long been independent now." ”

The old man retorted: "Forty years ago, it was also independent? It is not called independence with diplomatic immunity! Also, you don't know how much the Cold War was at that time, and if you knew, you would be afraid!"

Victor said: "There's no need to laugh at others, Bill, each of us on the island must have an interesting story." ”

"What's your story?" asked Li Du.

Victor laughed: "I have the same story as my wife, we have a very serious anxiety disorder, we can't stay in a crowded place, it's good to stay here." ”

"Anxiety?" Sophie asked, then said, "It's crazy, you've found a place where you can relax, congratulations, you're lucky." ”

Victor said: "yes, I will never forget my days in Tokyo, I thought I was going to break down, I felt like I was going to die every day, I don't know what I was anxious about, I didn't know what was going on with me, anyway, I felt like I was going to die!"

They chatted about the day, when the lid of the pot jumped, and the rich aroma of meat attracted everyone's attention.
