505. Golden City (4/5)
Tucson is Arizona's second largest city, located in the Sonoran Desert, full of rolling and flowing sand dunes and clusters of cactus.
Li Du came once and sold old photo materials to a professor of history at the University of Arizona.
The last time I came here was spring, but now it is autumn, two different seasons and two different scenery.
The Tucson environment is now brilliant, and there are heart-warming golden colors everywhere.
It was already afternoon when they arrived in the city. The sunshine in the southwest United States was so vague that it was more satisfying than Phoenix. It was so beautiful that it was so beautiful that it felt like the heat waves rolling as soon as it got off the car.
Drive down from the east side of Exit 258 on I-1o, and then it is downtown Tucson.
Hans gave Dao instructions: "Walk to the northeast, man, just drive one kilometer, that is the University of Arizona campus, where we eat and live there for dinner."
Dao looked at Li Du: "Boss, do you want to go to the warehouse tonight?"
Li Du yawned and said, "No, I'm so tired. Let's take a break tonight. Let's talk about the warehouse tomorrow. There is still time."
Trucks drove into 4th-ave road, which is the main street of the University Town, with lots of small restaurants, bars and interesting shops.
College students were either paired up or in groups. They walked on the street, and Li Du could feel the youth in their bodies through the car window.
"It's so enviable, these young people."
Hans looked at him and said, "Hey, man, are you here to stimulate me? It's like you're not a young man."
Li Du was stunned and said, "Oh, yes, I'm also a college student. Damn it, I forgot it."
First, looking for a place to stay, Hans asked, "Do you want to camp? We can have dinner here and go to the Cactus Landscape Loop, which is eight miles long and open to cars, with various picnic areas, sightseeing spots and camping areas."
Li Du waved his hand and said, "Stay today, find a place to rest. Look, my three children are exhausted."
Ah, Ah, they didn't catch the bullets, and the space inside the car was too small for them to move.
Animals who do not exercise for a long time and are in a closed space will also feel tired. This is a kind of mental fatigue and can be more uncomfortable than physical fatigue.
Accommodation prices in Tucson vary considerably, and house prices are lower in summer and autumn because the temperature is high at this time and no one is willing to come here.
Hans contacted a modern hotel near the desert, where he could stay under the stars and beside the cactus, with free coffee and waffles in the morning, and a large screen to watch movies.
There is a sandy land square at the entrance of the hotel, which allows barbecue on it. In addition, the hotel also has an open large kitchen, which can be used after paying the money and cook by yourself.
In this way, Li Du decided to cook it himself. If he eats Western food and keeps changing the environment, he will be a little uncomfortable with it.
After getting off the car, Godzilla and Dao bought a bunch of absolute hot dogs. This Li Du had eaten this last time in Tucson. The bread was wrapped with bacon, and the tomato sauerkraut, ban beans, crushed cheese, crushed tomatoes, mayonnaise, mustard and onions were added in layers in the middle.
These hot dogs need to be heated, so they borrowed a grill from the hotel and the two big men started to grill happily.
The square in front of the hotel is open to the public. Because the surrounding environment is good, many people will come to have a barbecue party when they get off work in the evening.
When Li Du and the others arrived, dozens of people were already staying in the square. The land of the square was divided into different areas with lime water, some were large and some were small.
He was so surprised that he asked, "What's going on here? Why divide it into areas?"
Hans said: "The people in Tucson are very tough. They come into contact with Mexico here. There were often small-scale conflicts in the past. The state police and militia were not reliable. People rely more on themselves and developed a brave and martial folk custom."
Needless to say, Li Du has guessed: "This kind of folk custom is reflected in life, so people will fight for territory? Drawing grids is to enclose the territory for users?"
Hans snapped his fingers and said, "That's right, that's it. You don't know yet that every year there will be deaths in the warehouse auction here in Tucson."
"ah?"
"The competition is cruel, brother." Hans said lazily, and the middle part likes to quarrel with his mouth. People here try not to whine when they can do it, and prefer to fight."
Li Du said: "Then we have to be careful."
The ruzun said with his neck in his arms, "What are you afraid of? The barbarians like Tucson are bullying the weak. You can't show fear. You have to be harder than them!"
Hans nodded and said, "You've been here?"
The official said, "Well, I, a good guy, have encountered trouble here. There are twenty people on the other side, and he only has one, but when the conflict arises, he is not afraid, but is more tough!"
Li Du said in admiration: "What a tough guy, did his tough attitude scare the other party away?"
"No, I'm beaten to be disabled."
Li Du was speechless and looked at him and said, "Are you telling jokes and teasing me?"
The lord said, "Of course not. Although he was beaten, he was disabled as a tough guy and was considered a tough guy disabled person."
"Shit!" Li Du raised his middle finger at him.
They don’t have to be afraid, there are two ferocious beasts, Godzilla and Dao, and Li Du also brings tiger cats and raccoons, who look very much like a big man from Mexico.
Nowadays, the big guys not only like to bring thugs, but also like to bring beasts to the streets. Tiger cats are barely considered beasts.
After they arrived at the square, they chose a relatively spacious area with a faucet next to it, making it easier to cook and clean.
Godzilla and Dao were busy roasting hot dogs first, while Li Du took a drink to rest. He asked Godzilla to help him cook a pot of hot water on the stove and prepare to eat noodles.
When sunset is setting, there are more and more people in the square.
No one was close to them. Godzilla and Dao worked in front of the oven for an afternoon. The heat of the weather and the charcoal fire were hot, so they took off their coats and looked extremely fierce.
Seeing this scene, Hans laughed and said, "We will definitely be very relaxed at the auction this time. I bet that few people dare to provoke us."
Seeing his proud look, Li Du warned him: "Don't provoke others, be kind to make money. We are here to make money, not to find trouble!"
It was a little later, and several off-road vehicles painted with camouflage drove over. The car stopped, and a group of big and round soldiers got out and walked towards them with beer barrels and ovens.
