Hans roared on his motorcycle, and the road was dusty and brought up a cloud of smoke, which looked imposing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Li Du picked him up and said, "You'd better drive slowly, this is a motorcycle, my brother, are you driving so fast?"
Hans laughed and said, "I'm driving fast, no, you see smoke and dust, because this road usually travels a lot, and leaves a lot of dust behind." β
He saw that Li Du was still going to speak, so he quickly added: "OK brother, don't get excited, go to see the goods first, you called me here in a hurry, did you come across something good?"
Li Du said: "It's not necessarily a good thing, but I especially like it, a specimen of a big bird." β
"What big bird?" asked Hans, curiously, emu, ostriches, golden eagles, Andean eagles.
Li Du took him to the front yard of the Amish man, pointed to the skeletal specimen, and said, "That's it, I don't know what kind of bird it is." β
Hans stared at the specimen and blinked, then turned back and said, "You don't know what kind of bird it is, and you're so interested in it?"
Li Du said: "This is the eye edge, as if I don't know what kind of bird you are, but I still decided to cooperate with you early on, because I believe in fate!"
Hans spread his hands and said, "You win, well, I'll ask what's going on." β
He went up and talked to the Amish woman, first about the work in the field, about the shallots, and then he got to the point, and asked, "What kind of specimen is this? It looks so big." β
The woman shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know its identity, I'm all left by my grandfather, some are from Africa, I think they should have some value." β
Hans said, "Well, my fellow has some interest in looking at this specimen, he wants to get his hands on it, what do you need?"
"My roof is a little leaky, so I need a bundle of raw cowhides, at least a hundred pounds," said the woman.......
"Understood!"
"My husband likes to do carpentry, but he lacks a lot of tools, no hand grinding, no drill knives, no planers......
βOKοΌβ
"Our old horse is no longer suitable for farming, it would be nice if there was a pony to inherit its work......"
Hans saw that the woman was going on, and suddenly became anxious: "Hey, ma'am, are you mistaken?
The woman smiled shrewdly and said, "I don't know what kind of bird this specimen is, but it must be valuable, and it is the trophy that my grandfather brought back when he was young and followed an English adventurer into eastern Africa." β
Hans said helplessly: "But it is just a pile of bones, a specimen of a large bird, it looks like an ostrich, and its value is very small." β
The woman shook her head and said, "No way, even if it is an ostrich specimen, it is a specimen of an ostrich that is hundreds of years old, and it is of great value!
"How many hundred years?" said Hans, sweating, "how many hundred years have specimens been preserved?madam, are you kidding me?"
"No, I'm not kidding, my grandfather said that he got this specimen from the treasure room of an African chief, and the chief said that everything in the treasure room is at least 100 years old......"
Hans motioned for her to wait, and went back to Li Du and said, "Today I met an opponent, this girl's bargaining level is very high!"
Li Du understood what he meant, and said, "Anyway, I am determined to ask for this specimen." β
Hans rolled his eyes and wiped his sweat, and said helplessly: "OK, I have convinced you!"
He walked back and said to the woman: "Well, I promise you terms, I'm crazy......"
The woman said, "Sorry sir, my conditions are not finished. β
Hans held his breath in his chest, and his forehead was bruised: "Your specimen material is bird bones, not gold!"
The woman shook her head and said, "I just want to exchange it for these things, if you don't want to, then I'll wait for the next person." β
Hans crouched down and said, "You're really my star of life!
The woman continued to shake her head: "No, what do I want the moon for? I want a loom because my loom is broken." β
Hans asked, "And then?"
The woman thought hard and said, "Okay, that's all four, I think it's fair business, what do you say?"
Hans smiled bitterly, "I said, what can I say, can I say that I am desperate now?"
The conditions are listed, and the next thing to do is to meet them.
Li Du was not at ease, and went to tell the woman: "I will go and collect these things immediately, but it will take time, and before that, you should not sell this specimen to other people." β
At this point, the Amish woman was refreshed, she took out a large box, put the specimen in it, and handed it directly to him.
Li Du was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"You can bring it back first, and remember to send it back to me early when you find what I want. The woman said as a matter of course.
Li Du asked in surprise: "We don't know each other, aren't you afraid that I will take something and disappear?"
The woman said, "We swear by God, then I will not be afraid of anything." β
Li Du didn't know what to say, whether to praise this woman for her contract spirit, or to laugh at her for being too naΓ―ve, or to marvel at her pious faith?
But no matter what he said, he admired the woman's boldness and trust in humanity.
He didn't talk nonsense, motioned for Godzilla to come up and take the large specimen, and said, "At most, I'll send four things in a week." β
After getting into the car, he said to Hans, "Think of it, brother, I need to get these four things together as fast as I can!"
If people treat him with trust, he will inevitably be rewarded with integrity.
Hans said: "Pony, raw cowhide, carpentry tools, these are all simple, can be done in a day, the difficult thing is the loom she wants." β
"What's so hard about the looms?
"Please, my brother, the looms on the E-bay are all modern electric looms, and the Amish have no electricity!
On the way back, they passed by a leather goods store, and the two went to buy raw cowhide first, and a hundred pounds of raw cowhide cost a thousand yuan.
Looking at the raw cowhides, Hans asked, "Do you think they look familiar?"
Li Du asked hesitantly, "This can't be the things we picked up with the antique clock, right?"
They got some raw cowhide and sold it to the leather goods shop for a total of five hundred yuan.
Hans sighed, "I think so." β
Li Du scolded: "This profiteer!"
The raw cowhide they sold had to be two hundred pounds, and the price difference was four times great!
But if you manage to get one of them, it's a bonus.
