The auction is divided into two halves, with the first half ending with a ten-minute break in between. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Du and Sophie were about to go out to get some air, when Malathai blocked them and said, "Man, are you here for our charity auction today?"

"Of course, you've seen it, I've been sitting here. Mr. Li didn't know what he was going to do, but he knew he was going to play a moth.

Malathai smiled contemptuously, "Oh, yes? I thought you were here to mess with our event lunch." ”

As he spoke, he shrugged his shoulders and made an expression of understanding, and continued: "Of course, it doesn't matter if you eat the event lunch, because today's theme is charity. ”

Hearing him say this, Sophie said dissatisfiedly: "Malatay, pay attention to your words, you are here to deliberately provoke, right? I don't understand, why are you so ungraceful?"

It's not that Marathai likes to provoke people, it's American culture.

American men, especially young people, like to show themselves as tough guys, they will train their bodies to be strong, they will love savage sports, and they will bully those who are weaker than themselves.

Bullying the weak, this is the rule of survival for young Americans, and you can also know from watching American dramas and Hollywood movies that the handsome and elegant protagonists must have been bullied by school bullies in their school days.

Not to mention that Li Du once made Malathai lose face and won Sophie's favor, even if there was no such relationship, then Malathai would look at him unpleasantly.

Racial discrimination is an issue that Americans have been highlighting all along, and it is also the biggest problem in society.

Li Du has been out of the country for more than a year and a half, and what he feels most deeply is that the status of Chinese people in the United States is low, and anyone wants to step on them.

Malathai was a very conceited man, and that's what Sophie didn't like about him.

He thought that he could win the other party's heart by showing his muscles and toughness in front of Sophie, but in fact, this trick was useless to Sophie, because of her work, the female doctor was exposed to a lot of violent incidents, and this kind of person was the most annoying.

Such a simple question, Li Du, the first brother in the love field, saw it as soon as he met Sophie, but Malatai never saw it.

Even if he saw it, he would not change himself, because toughness, roughness, and toughness were what he considered to be manly charm, and he was proud of these personalities.

Therefore, after being rebuked by Sophie, Marathai raised his head and said: "No, I am not without grace, I am not weak or cowardly, Sophie, you have never known me correctly, which makes me regret." ”

Sophie smiled, "Oh, perhaps, but it makes me feel glad." ”

Marathai left angrily, glared at Li Du before leaving, and said, "I'm glad to help you, man, eat more at lunchtime." ”

When he left, Sophie said, "I'm sorry, Lee, Malathai is so naïve, I don't understand why he hasn't matured as he gets older?"

Martin laughed, "Aren't all the young people in Flagpole City like that? ”

Li Du smiled bitterly and nodded, he really suffered an unwarranted disaster.

However, the things he shot earlier were really useless to him, and when some things that seemed valuable appeared, he would not hesitate to use the little flying insects to check the situation.

It's a pity that those things just look valuable, and he can only throw them away when he buys them, in this case, how can he sell them?

At the beginning of the second half of the auction, the first lot on the auction was very interesting, which was more than a dozen heavy books.

According to the auctioneer, these books are the 1990 edition of the Encyclopedia of Biblical Interpretation, donated by Mr. and Mrs. Martin, and are in good condition, with a starting price of 440 yuan.

This set of encyclopedias is of great value to believers, which interprets the Bible from various aspects such as life, science and education, culture, and customs, and is very interesting and suitable for believers to watch.

Li Du shook his head, it was something that was useless to him, and he didn't need to quote.

Sophie offered a price, which was considered to give her parents a face, making the bidding look more intense.

Malatay struck again, and he chased and beat the price all the way, and finally the encyclopedia fell into his hands, and the transaction price was 860 yuan.

The lot was sold, everyone applauded, and Li Du heard Martin whisper: "It's a pity, this set of books will be shelved in the future, it is better to let Sophie get it for 440 yuan." ”

Mrs. Martin glared at him, and said, "Don't be like that, how bad is it to be heard? ”

Li Du smiled secretly, the old couple was very interesting.

Later, one by one, the lots were taken out, and all of them were auctioned, and none of them were unsold, and the believers were enthusiastically bidding, regardless of the price.

Halfway through the auction, a young girl brought out a plate containing a small green box, a bit like a girl's makeup box.

Seeing this box, Sophie smiled happily: "Look, this is the lot I donated, a lipstick box, this thing is very beautiful, I don't know how much it will be auctioned out." ”

The green box is only half the size of a palm, and the whole is made of jade or jade, and the edges are wrapped in black enamel and inlaid with red and blue gemstones, which looks beautiful.

Li Du asked, "How much did you buy this lipstick box?"

Sophie said, "100 bucks, I bought it from a decorating shop that was going out of business when I was a school in Phoenix. The boss said that this is Burmese jadeite, but it is obviously fake, how can the jade box be so cheap?"

The auctioneer also began to introduce, emphasizing that the authenticity of the jadeite and gemstones on the box was unknown, and then quoted a price of 50 pieces.

Li Du looked at the big screen, there was a close-up of the small box on it, and after he saw the red, green and blue three-color gems on the box, he thought of a jewelry culture he had seen in the book before, so his heart moved and he released the little flying insect.

The little flying insect was not attracted by the box, so it should not have been around for long.

Li Du let it fly over, using the ability to recreate the old time, because he felt that the box was not made of crude artificial jadeite, but more like the real thing.

The ability of the little flying insect is used, and scenes from the old times are recreated.

The first thing that comes to mind is someone polishing the box, writing the name under the box, and the surroundings are elegant, with complex instruments and beautiful design drawings.

There were also some large and small pieces of jadeite on the table where the box was, and as I continued to look down, someone opened the safe and took out some sparkling pieces of gemstones.

The pieces were carefully polished and finally set into a box, which was wrapped in soft deerskin and sent on a plane.

Seeing this, Li Du's heart became excited.

What he was excited about was not that he had discovered something valuable, but that his vision had improved!

Usually in addition to participating in auctions, he has been working hard to read books and materials, obviously doing the right thing to do, which can make him stronger.

The auctioneer began to shout, Li Du relaxed his body, and he was ready to make a move.
