Lisko's American life

Chapter 21 Home Auction

Lisko had breakfast and set off with the change ready. The home auction is a good exhibition in the United States for handling second-hand goods of his own home. It is often every six months, as is the exhibition here in Garrison.

When I arrived at the exhibition, I just met Colt and Rooster who came to purchase.

"Li, are you coming to the exhibition too? Isn't there something to sell?" Colt joked, closing the door.

"I'm here to go shopping, and I will buy some if I like it. Are you a big purchase? Still two of them together." Lisko complained to him.

"I bought my house from Maggie, and the rooster brought someone to repair it for me. I just caught up with the auction this time and want to get some furniture." Colt was very satisfied with his life.

"How's your job? Are you happy to do it"

"It's great. This job suits me too well. We are training now and are preparing to participate in the Colorado State Rugby Tournament next month. We will get out of the lap and be eligible for the National Rugby Tournament." Colt said of his work happily of.

"Our school team has a few good seedlings. I think they are even better than I was back then."

Liske looked at Colt, who was very confident, and patted him on the shoulder. He has no interest in the game where the clothes are wrapped up and bumped. Currently, he still likes to watch basketball games. He often follows the Rockets at their peak. Yao Ming's game.

When the three arrived at the exhibition, they dispersed and went around. The American home auctions are not handled by unique merchants. They are basically local residents. They take the idle items that are not used at home to the market, and the organizer evaluates it. Please indicate the price. If someone takes a fancy, you can pay for it. The organizer will pack it for you and put it in the car. If there is any inconvenience, the shipping fee will be sent back to you, so every time it is held It will attract many people from other regions to join in the fun. Now the town is crowded with people.

Of course Lisko didn't need anything. He came to join in the fun this time, so he could buy something he was interested in.

In this kind of auction, whether you are here to buy things or to join in the fun, you will not help but buy a little, because the things here are often outrageously cheap, for example, a set of 20 copies originally for $50 The full set of encyclopedias cost only US$8. Lisko looked at it. It seemed that he hadn't used it much before. He couldn't help but photographed it. Everything here was paid in cash, which was why he brought a bunch of change at home.

Next to it is a shop selling old clothes, a brand-name high-end suit with an original price of US$3,000. It only costs US$5. There are all expensive satchels, and some puppet carts that children have eliminated. They sell a wide variety of things.

In the United States, the disposal of these daily necessities, old home appliances and other garbage often requires high garbage disposal fees, so people like to sell these old things half-sold and half-delivered to those in need, which is the origin of this auction.Li Sike has heard of the more surprising RB before. The furniture or electrical appliances they eliminated are often placed in a prescribed area on the street. Some people living in poverty choose the items they use without paying. Any money can be taken home.

Lisko also saw an exquisite copper pot and vase. Lisko spent twenty dollars to photograph it, intending to add a bit of special features to his house full of ceramics.

Walking around, Lisko saw a lot of weird things, marked as magic items for witches, dolls in a pile of toy coffins, which are said to be used for curses, and there was a stall selling bottled cola from his collection. Lisko also bought an old-fashioned phonograph and a bunch of vinyl records, and he tried it out at the booth. Try, it can be used normally.

There are also some street artists selling their own works here. Lisko chose a few oil paintings with bright colors and a long-distance artistic conception, and planned to hang them in his home study. Most of these oil paintings are artists imitating world-famous oil paintings. It looks very realistic.

Lisko wandered to the middle and saw a bunch of people surrounding an area in a mess. He squeezed in and saw the items on the stall. His eyes glowed and he exclaimed.

The owner of the stall is a young Chinese man, who looks about the same size as Li Sike. His stall sells cold weapons. The English introduction on the brand says that he made all of them by hand.

These cold weapons have various types of weapons in ancient China. Lisko saw maces, daggers, long swords, broadswords, nunchakus, Tang knives, iron fans, darts, and a tall square painted halberd. .The other side of the stall is full of cool weapons, including imitation Thor's hammer, Marvel's Loki's scepter, rings and bows in the Lord of the Rings, and some cool weapons in RB anime.

Li Sike took the initiative to talk.

"BOY, you did all this?"

The Chinese man looked up and said, "Yes, my name is Moore. Lin lives in the nearby town. I do it all by myself."

Li Ske looked at him and determined that he might be a Chinese with a green card, so he spoke in Mandarin.

"Hello, my name is Lisko, I am a rancher." Lisko handed over naturally.

Lin Moore looked at the foreigner in front of him in surprise. He felt a little dumbfounded when he heard authentic Mandarin with a Beijing accent in the mouth of a foreigner in the United States.

After reacting, he immediately stretched out his hand to hold it, "Have you studied in China?"

Liske explained, "Yes, my grandfather is Chinese, my grandmother is Jewish, my mother is British, and I am a Chinese-Jewish-English mixed race."

Lin Moore also introduced, "Call me Lynch. Moore is an American name. My parents opened a Chinese restaurant in the previous town. I helped here after graduation. I made these things by myself when I was bored at home. You speak Mandarin. My grandfather is still Chinese, why not wait for my family to eat? My parents will definitely welcome him."

Liske's hand was not loosened by Lynch. Hearing Lynch's accent and this enthusiastic attitude, he knew that he was from the Northeast.

"No, I will visit you next time I have the opportunity. How do you sell these weapons? They are beautifully made. I bought a few and put them in the study room. They are more tasteful than the knives of the little devil."

Lynch’s satisfaction is even higher. He has just arrived in the U.S. for half a year and met many Chinese. As a result, others are of Chinese descent for several generations. They don’t even speak Chinese, except for a Chinese face. The foreign face in Mandarin really made him feel like a fellow, not to mention the little devil he heard Li Sike said, really made him feel like a fellow.

"If you don't have money, don't you look down on me? Little RB's things are not good. We all learn a little bit. I learned the craft from my grandfather and old blacksmith. I just came to sell it for fun. It’s made of stainless steel, and it’s very sharp when you open it, my brother, tell you, take it away if you want it, your brother Lin is nothing to do."

He waved his hand magnificently.

Li Sike was a little bit dumbfounded when he saw this full of northeast style.

The two argued for a long time, but Li Sko couldn't help but take the Tang knife, iron fan, and an exquisite knives of anime pig's feet that he had forced himself into, and returned to the car with a full embrace.
