Qin Shiou did what he said, since he had promised to participate in the town's basketball team, he couldn't miss the contract.

Moreover, in addition to going to sea all day long, he is idle to blow the sea breeze, and he is also a little bored, and it is not bad to play basketball.

There is no training hall in Farewell Town, and the basketball team practices on the street basketball court.

At noon, the sun was blazing and the basketball court was empty. Little Hughes was shirtless but he was playing by himself, Qin Shiou dunked a basket at random, and ran to Little Hughes's grocery store to watch the door when he felt too sunny.

Qin Shiou's vision is no problem, although there are only two groups of customers in China, the sales of this grocery store are not low, especially American ginseng, which sells the best.

When Hughes Jr. bought these American ginseng from the Sioux tribe in the Rocky Mountains, it only cost ten to one hundred yuan, and when he sold it in the grocery store, he could sell it for five hundred to five thousand yuan a piece, and there was no bargaining.

In addition, those Sioux statues and all kinds of furs were also sold very well, and the fur wool was snapped up by the girls, and Zhong Chuchu bought five sets of snow fox skins and two sets of mink skins at that time.

Hughes Jr. himself is quite smart, and he added a business, which is to rent bows and spearguns.

The ordinary longbows and short bows handmade by the townspeople were bought by him and engraved with some Indian-style patterns, letters, etc., and were uniformly declared to be Indian Sioux hunting bows and arrows. This kind of archer has a poor feel and accuracy, but the rent of each one is expensive, and the tourists are still happy to do it.

Not long after Qin Shiou entered the grocery store, a small group of three walked in, and when they saw Qin Shiou, the couple was stunned and asked, "Where is the boss?" ”

Subconsciously. They all used Chinese, and they thought that Qin Shiou was also a tourist.

Qin Shiou explained with a smile, saying that the boss was his friend, playing basketball on the street, and he was an immigrant here.

The couple introduced themselves. The man is a small business owner, the woman is a housewife, and the daughter is six years old, just in the first grade of primary school, and she is taking advantage of the summer vacation to travel abroad.

"I heard that this newly opened line is very good, not only the scenery. You can also fish, fish, go hunting in the mountains, sail out to sea, and so on, and so on, so we are here. It turned out that the town was really good, the people were very nice, and there was no inducement and compulsory consumption. The man named Li Delong said with a smile.

The little girl looked at Qin Shiou curiously. Asked, "Are you also Chinese, uncle?" ”

Qin Shiou nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, my uncle is also Chinese and now lives here." ”

The little girl nodded coquettishly, sighed slightly, and said, "If only I could live here, there are so many small animals." I also ran into a fawn yesterday. Most importantly, I didn't want to go back to school. ”

Qin Shiou was amused by her and said, "That's not good. You have to go to school hard, and my uncle just studied well, and then he was admitted to the university here and stayed. If you study well in the future, you can also get into the university here. ”

The little girl was disappointed, and pouted, "Huh? Is there a school here, too? ”

Li Delong handed Qin Shiou a cigarette, and the latter shook his head. He took it in his mouth and asked, "Can I smoke?" ”

"It's fine. Smoke is available everywhere in Farewell Town, and there is not so much attention here. Qin Shiou said.

Li Delong lit and spit out a smoke ring. "That's fine, after we arrived, a beautiful tour guide told us that there are no other taboos except for not littering." This is much stronger than those Bali and Hawaii tourist routes, which are not going on vacation, but going to prison, which cannot be done, that cannot be touched, and is boring! ”

"You just smoke less." The young woman, who had been curiously looking at the statues and animal skins, turned around and spoke.

Li Delong smiled, hid beside Qin Shiou and continued to smoke.

Qin Shiou saw the little girl staring at a little bobtail specimen, so he took it and handed it to her for her to play, Li Delong asked, "How much is this?" ”

Qin Shiou looked at the label on the back, grinned quietly in his heart, and said, "Five hundred and fifty yuan." ”

This little bobtail specimen is a doll that the Sioux people hollowed out the meat after catching the bobtail cat, stuffed the remaining fur into cotton and sewed it up, and replaced the eyes with plastic beads. However, the Sioux people are very good at craftsmanship, and the little bobtail cats are repaired vividly, which is not comparable to ordinary toys.

Those who can travel abroad are rich people, and the price of this kitten is more than 2,000 yuan, but Li Delong took it and looked at it, and found that it was a real beast skin, so he paid for it.

Qin Shiou said: "Fellow countryman, you don't need a fraction, five hundred yuan is OK." ”

He remembered that many of these specimens were given by the Sioux people for free, because they were sewn when they were bored. Most of the animals that can be used as taxidermy are animals with useless fur, so in the eyes of the Sioux people, this thing is not valuable.

Qin Shiou felt that the money was not very secure, and after Li Delong's family bought two more American ginsengs, he took out a pipe wood carving and handed it to Li Delong, saying, "Give it to you, keep it as a souvenir." ”

Li Delong accepted it, handed him a business card, and said, "Thank you, little brother, if you go to Kyoto another day, my brother will invite you to dinner." ”

In the afternoon, the weather was a little cooler, Hughes and others came out to train in their jerseys, and Qin Shiou ran out.

Hughes Jr. explained to him that summer league is an amateur game, so each game is not divided into four quarters of 48 minutes, but two halves of 20 minutes each, and the team is configured with five starters and three substitutes.

When he arrived at the basketball court, Hughes introduced Qin Shiou, except for the three of them, the remaining five people were:

The descendants of German immigrants, big center Guderian Babick, the repair shop owner and strong power forward Johnson Zade, the Grant Elementary School physical education teacher Harlan Lawrence, the geography teacher Mark Wiley, and another St. John's college student named Gordon Clyde.

For the amateur team, the training is relatively simple, that is, everyone understands each other's habits and runs in to find some tacit understanding.

Except for Little Hughes, Qin Shiou's style of play in the other teams is not very well understood, Hughes is a little worried, and said: "Qin, you try to communicate with us as much as possible, we must know you better, otherwise the next game will not be good." ”

Little Hughes smiled: "Qin's style of play is very well understood, that is, I will dribble and hand it to him, and he will solve the score, and you can just pull it out and play by yourself." ”

The others laughed, thinking Hughes Jr. was joking.

But soon, they couldn't laugh anymore.

Distributing half a basket to fight on the court, Hughes Jr. passed the ball to Qin Shiou, he got the ball outside the three-point line, and in the face of Lawrence's defense, his shoulders shook and quickly changed hands.

Lawrence was stunned, Qin Shiou immediately shot out like an arrow from the string, no one reacted, no one could make up for the defense, Qin Shiou rushed into the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand and soared into the air, waved his arm like a tomahawk, and smashed the ball into the hoop with a bang.

Attacking again, Lawrence defended closely, Qin Shiou hit back, Lawrence couldn't bear the strength, he felt like he had been run over by a car, and couldn't help but retreat.

With space, Qin Shiou hit again, rushed to the basket to face Johnson, who came up to make up for the defense, jumped up and threw a shot, and hit.

It was still Qin Shiou's possession, Lawrence didn't dare to get too close, so he let him go and specifically prevented him from breaking through. Qin Shiou smiled slightly, stood up with his feet, raised his arms flat, shook his wrists softly, and made a dry pull-out jumper!

'Whew', with a crisp sound, the basketball obediently drilled into the net.

Little Hughes shrugged and said, "Do you still need to continue to run in?" (To be continued)
