MTL - Lisko’s American Life-Chapter 21 home auction
Lisko ate breakfast and set off after getting the change ready. The Home Auction is a very good exhibition in the United States for dealing with second-hand goods at home. It is often held once every six months, and the same is true for the exhibition here in Garrison.
When we arrived at the exhibition, we happened to meet Colt and Rooster who came to purchase.
"Li, are you coming to the exhibition too? Isn't there something to sell?" Colt jokingly closed the door.
"I'll go shopping. I'll buy some if I like it. Are you making a big purchase? The two of you are still together." Lisko complained to him.
"I bought my house from Maggie, and the rooster took someone to renovate it for me. I just happened to catch up with the auction this time and wanted to get some furniture." Colt was very satisfied with his life.
"How is work? Are you happy doing it?"
"It's great, this job is so suitable for me. We are now training and preparing to participate in the Codorola State football game to be held next month. We will try to get out of the circle and qualify for the national football game." Colt was very excited about his work. of.
"Our school team has a few good young people. I think they are even better than I was back then."
Lisko looked at Colt, who was very confident, and patted him on the shoulder. He was not interested in this kind of game where the clothes were wrapped and bumped. At present, he still likes to watch basketball games, and often follows the Rockets at their peak. Yao Ming's game.
When the three arrived at the exhibition, they dispersed and went around each other. The American Family Auction is not a unique business, but basically all residents of the town. The price is marked. If someone likes it, they will pay for it. The organizer will pack it for you and put it in the car. If it is inconvenient, the freight will be sent to you home. It will attract many people from other areas to join in the fun, and now the town is already crowded with people.
Of course Lisko didn't need anything. He came here this time to join in the fun and buy it if he was interested.
At this kind of auction, whether you come to buy something or join in the fun, you can't help but buy a little bit, because the things here are often ridiculously cheap. The full set of encyclopedias cost only $8. Lisko looked at it and didn't seem to use it much, so he couldn't help but take a photo. Everything here is paid in cash, which is why he brought a bunch of change at home.
Next to it is a seller of old clothes, a set of high-end brand-name suits originally priced at $3,000, but only $5 here, as well as all the expensive satchels, as well as some puppet cars that the children have eliminated, selling a variety of things.
In the United States, high waste disposal fees are often required to dispose of these daily necessities and old household appliances, so people like to sell these old things and give them away to those who need them. This is also the origin of this auction. Lisko has heard more surprising RBs before. The furniture or electrical appliances they eliminated are often placed in a designated area on the street. Some people with financial constraints choose the items they use without paying. Any money can be taken home.
Lisko also saw an exquisite copper pot and vase. Lisko paid twenty dollars to photograph it, intending to add a touch of character to his house full of ceramics.
Walking around, Lisko saw a lot of strange things. There were magic props marked as witches, dolls in a pile of toy coffins, which were said to be used for curses. There was also a booth selling his own collection of bottled Coke. bottle caps, as well as some bizarre and various badges, various old-fashioned clocks, and beautiful lamps that were DIYed by others. Lisko also bought an old-fashioned gramophone and a bunch of vinyl records, which he tried at the booth. Tried, still can be used normally.
There are also some street artists selling their works here. Lisko chose a few oil paintings with bright colors and a distant artistic conception, and planned to hang them in his study at home. Most of these oil paintings were imitated by artists who were famous in the world. It looks realistic.
Lisko strolled in the middle and saw a group of people surrounding an area in a mess. He squeezed in and saw the items on the booth, his eyes glowed and he let out a sigh of admiration.
The owner of the booth is a young man of Chinese descent who looks about the same age as Lisko. All the weapons he sells in his booth are cold weapons, and the English introduction on the brand says they are all handmade by him.
These cold weapons include all kinds of ancient Chinese weapons. Lisko saw a mace, a dagger, a long sword, a broadsword, a nunchaku, a Tang knife, an iron fan, a dart, and a very tall Fangtianhua halberd. . The other side of the booth is full of cool weapons, including the fake Quake, the scepter of Loki in Marvel, the rings and bows from the Lord of the Rings, and some cool weapons from RB anime.
Lisko took the initiative to go up to chat.
"BOY, you did all this?"
The Chinese man raised his head, "Yes, my name is Moore. Lin, I live in the town next door, and I made all of them by hand."
Lisko looked at him and decided that he might be a Chinese with a green card, so he spoke in Mandarin.
"Hello, my name is Lisko, I'm a rancher." Lisko naturally passed his hand.
Lin Moore looked at the foreigner in front of him in surprise. Hearing authentic Mandarin with a Beijing accent in the mouth of a foreigner in the United States really felt a little dumbfounded.
After reacting, he immediately stretched out his hand and held it, "Have you studied in China?"
Lisko explained ~www.novelbuddy.com~ Yes, my grandfather is Chinese, my grandmother is Jewish, my mother is British, and I am Chinese-Jewish-English. "
Lin Moore also introduced, "Call me Lynch, Moore is an American name, my parents opened a Chinese restaurant in the town in front of me, I helped here after graduation, and I made these things myself when I was bored at home. You speak Mandarin, My grandfather is still Chinese, why don't we wait for my family to have dinner? My parents will definitely welcome it."
Li Ke's hand was tightly grasped by Lynch. He heard Lynch's accent and warm attitude, and knew that he was from the Northeast.
"No, next time I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit. How do you sell these weapons? They are very beautifully made. I bought a few and put them in the study. They are much more tasteful than those knives of the little devil."
Lynch's satisfaction is even higher. He has just arrived in the United States for half a year, and he has met many Chinese people. As a result, others are of several generations of Chinese, and they can't even speak Chinese. Except for his Chinese face, this time he met someone. The foreign-faced mandarin is a thief, which really made him feel a little bit like a hometown, not to mention the little devil he heard Lisko talking about, it really made him feel like a hometown.
"What's not worth the money, look down on me, do you look down on me? I can't do anything with a little RB. We all learn half-baked. I learned the craft from my grandfather's old blacksmith. I came here to sell and play. It's made of fine steel, and it's extremely sharp when you open the seal and cut things, brother, tell you, take it straight away if you like it, Brother Lin is not bad."
He waved his hand vigorously.
Li Ke was a little dumbfounded when he saw the style full of Northeast flavor.
The two had been arguing for a long time, and Li Ke, who had no choice, could only take the Tang knife, the iron fan, and an exquisite knife made of cartoon pig's feet, which he had forced to him, and returned to the car with a full hug.
