207. The feeling of trust (Niu Niu League +2)
There are quite a few people who are interested in this textile machine, Li Du has already raised the price to 2,000 yuan, and there are still people who follow the price, but there are only two of them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Du patiently continued to offer, and competed until 2,800 yuan, and the two shook their heads and withdrew.
The auctioneer stretched out his hand and pointed at him: "Two thousand eight hundred yuan, two thousand eight hundred yuan, two thousand eight hundred yuan, this good antique belongs to this young man, where is the applause, let us congratulate him......"
When everything is auctioned, everyone applauds, which is one of the reasons why the atmosphere in the thrift auction industry is relatively harmonious.
Someone came over to greet Li Du: "Hey, thank you buddy, I didn't expect this textile machine to be taken away by someone as young as you, I thought it would be an old guy who likes it." ”
Li Du smiled: "Actually, I have a very old heart, the machine is yours, it is very well maintained, it is a good thing." ”
"Your heart is full of power, and I can see that it can also provide you with the energy to survive for hundreds of years. The white man with the mustache laughed.
After paying the money, the textile machine is Li Du's.
With such raw cowhides, carpentry tools, healthy ponies, and a textile machine, Li Du gathered all the four things the other party wanted, and only three days had passed!
Thanks to Hans, with a local snake like him as a partner, Li Du is too convenient to do things.
On Monday, the weather was still fine.
Mr. Lee is also in a very sunny mood, he and Godzilla carry the loom to the truck, and Hans calls Jones and asks him to drop off the ponies at the Amish woman's house.
Jones was closer than them, and Li Du and the others set off early, so the two sides arrived at the Amish gathering area at about the same time, and the two trucks met.
When I arrived at the door of the woman's house, there were still things in the yard, and it seemed that this barter method of bartering was not very popular, and there were not many people involved in the transaction.
The two cars stopped, and two children, a man and a woman, ran out of the house, they were dressed in black, looking at Li Du and the others curiously.
Seeing a pony being led down, they immediately let out a cheer: "Mother, mother, come and see, someone has brought the pony." ”
The woman who had traded with Li Du walked out the door, and a smile appeared on her face when she saw the raw cowhides, carpentry tools, ponies, and looms being moved.
Li Du walked over and said, "Madam, I've kept you waiting, these are the four things you want, please come and accept them." ”
The woman said, "Go, Nicholas, go to the field and call your father." ”
Jones was stunned and said, "What? Call my dad ......."
Before he could finish his sentence, the little boy next to the woman said in a crisp voice, "Yes, Mommy." ”
The woman looked at Jones: "Excuse me, sir, what did you say?"
Jones was embarrassed: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I just misunderstood, because my name is Nicholas too." ”
Hans laughed, "Obviously, it's a good name. ”
The little boy came back with several men, dressed similarly, about the same height, and looking alike because they all had big beards.
All Amish men are required to grow beards when they reach adulthood, but they are not allowed to have a beard above their lips.
From there, Li Du discovers an Amish man they knew before, their neighbor Thomason.
Thomasson also recognized the two of them, and said with a smile: "Two friends, you are the one Ashley is talking about? I should have thought of it, how many residents of the Eastern Face are here?"
Li Du shook hands with him and said, "Yes, Mr. Thomason, it's a pleasure to see you again, come, come and your friends to see our goods." ”
The woman Ashley's husband was a blonde bearded man, and she was introduced to them by Thomason named Ricky Tasima.
After shaking hands with Li Du, Ricky said with some embarrassment: "I have to apologize to you for my previous suspicions, sir, I questioned her decision to learn that my wife gave you the specimen before the guarantee, thinking that she was stupid to do so." ”
Li Du smiled and said, "I understand your concern, there are indeed some guys in this society who don't have the spirit of contract. ”
He kind of liked these Amish people, and they were very honest, and if Ricky didn't say these things, they wouldn't know, but Ricky said them anyway, and apologized to them.
Hans said, "Man, your suspicions are right, your wife is a little too gullible to be gullible. ”
Ashley met Li Du this time, and if she met someone with a slightly worse character, she would probably take the specimen and leave without admitting it.
A man carefully examined the pony's condition and said with a smile: "Ricky, your family has a good healthy and strong horse, or a mare?" ”
The young boy Nicholas shouted: "I want to ride a horse, I want to ride a horse, and this horse is mine." ”
The little girl cried out, "No, this is the little mare, she is like me, she is my good friend, I have already named her the girl Irene." ”
The quality of the raw cowhide is fine, the woodworking tools are a complete set, the pony is healthy or a mare, and the loom is running smoothly although it is an old product.
The four things sent by Li Du were of high quality, and the Amish people were very happy after checking them.
Ricky invited them into the house: "It's too hot for us to let our guests stay in the sun, please come in with us and let us make a cup of herbal tea for you." ”
Hans winked his eyes at Li Du and said, "Wow, good people have good rewards, God is really right." ”
"What do you mean?" Li Du didn't understand.
"The Amish were friendly to outsiders, but they were also wary, allowing outsiders to photograph their houses and carriages, but rarely allowing outsiders to enter their homes," says Hans. ”
As they walked in, Thomas said, "Guys, do you hope you don't take pictures later?"
Li Du nodded and said, "We understand, we don't take pictures." ”
"Thank you for your understanding. Thomas grinned and bared his teeth.
The wooden building was spacious, with clean carpets on the floor, and there were no decorations in the living room, except for two vases with some picked wildflowers.
Ricky brought chairs and everyone sat together, while Ashley went to make herbal tea, then drew cold well water from the well, filled it into an iron kettle, and put it in the well water.
Li Du noticed that there were gas lamps hanging at the door of the house, but there were also electric lights, and it was clear that the Amish people used electricity.
Seeing his doubts, Thomasson smiled: "Do you think we are primitives? Actually, we are very popular, you guessed it, we also use electricity." ”
Li Du waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, you misunderstood, I didn't think you were living a primitive life." I'm just wondering, why don't you use electric tools when there's electricity, why don't you use electric looms?"
"Because our electricity comes from wind and solar, we need to use it sparingly," Ricky explains. As for the loom, that's because my wife doesn't know how to use an electric loom. ”
Li Du: "......"
