Lisco's American Life

Chapter 21 Family Auction

Lisko had breakfast, prepared his change, and set off. The Home Auction is a good exhibition in the United States for dealing with second-hand goods from your own home. It is usually held once every six months, and the same is true for the exhibition here in Garrison.

When we arrived at the exhibition, we happened to meet Colt and Rooster, who were here to do some shopping.

"Lee, are you coming to the exhibition too? Don't you have something to sell?" Colt joked, closing the car door.

"I'm here to go shopping. I'll buy some if I like it. Are you doing a big purchase? You two are together." Lisko complained to him.

"I bought my house from Maggie, and Rooster and others renovated it for me. I just happened to catch up with the auction this time and wanted to get some furniture." Colt was very satisfied with his life.

"How is work? Are you happy doing it?"

"It's great. This job is perfect for me. We are currently training to prepare to participate in the Colorado State Football Game to be held next month. We will strive to make it out of the circle and qualify for the All-American Football Game." Colt was very excited when talking about his job.

of.

"Our school team has several good prospects. I think they are even better than I was back then."

Lisko looked at Colt who was very confident and patted him on the shoulder. He was not interested in this kind of game where he was wrapped in clothes and bumped around. At present, he still likes to watch basketball games and often follows the Rockets who are at their peak.

Yao Ming's game.

When the three of them arrived at the exhibition, they dispersed and walked around each other. The American Home Auction is not a unique business, it is basically residents of the town. They bring unused items at home to the market, and the organizer evaluates them.

The price is marked. If someone likes it, just go and pay to get it. The organizer will pack it up and put it in the car for you. If it is inconvenient, they will pay for the shipping fee and send it home for you, so every time it is held

It will attract many people from other areas to join in the fun, and now the town is already crowded.

Of course Lisko didn't need anything. He came here just to join in the fun and buy whatever he was interested in.

At this kind of auction, whether you are here to buy something or to join in the fun, in the end you can't help but buy a little, because the things here are often ridiculously cheap. For example, a set of 20 copies originally cost 50 US dollars.

The full set of encyclopedias only cost 8 US dollars. Lisko looked at them and saw that they had not been used much, so he couldn't help but take pictures. Everything here was paid in cash, which was why he brought a bunch of change at home.

Next to it is a seller of used clothes. A high-end designer suit that originally cost 3,000 US dollars costs only 5 US dollars here. There are also all kinds of expensive bags and some puppet cars that have been discarded by children. There are all kinds of things for sale.

In the United States, high garbage disposal fees are often required to dispose of these daily necessities, old household appliances and other garbage, so people like to half-sell and half-give these old items to those in need. This is also the origin of this kind of auction. Lisko

I have heard about RB before, which is even more surprising. The furniture or electrical appliances they eliminate are often placed in designated areas on the street. People who live in poverty can pick out the items for their own use without paying any money.

You can take it home.

Lisko also saw an exquisite copper pot and vase. Lisko spent twenty dollars to take pictures of them, intending to add a bit of character to his house full of ceramics.

While walking around, Lisko saw a lot of strange things. Some were labeled as magic props for witches, a bunch of dolls in toy coffins, which were said to be used for curses, and a stall selling bottles of Coke from his collection.

Bottle caps, some weird badges, various old-fashioned clocks, exquisite table lamps that were re-DIYed by others, Lisko also bought an old-fashioned gramophone and a bunch of vinyl records, which he tried on the stall

Tried it and it still works normally.

There are also some street artists selling their works here. Lisko selected a few oil paintings with bright colors and far-reaching artistic conceptions, and planned to hang them in his study room at home. Most of these oil paintings were imitated by artists who imitated world-famous oil paintings.

It looks very realistic.

Lisko walked to the middle and saw a bunch of people gathered in a messy area. He squeezed in and saw the items on the stall. His eyes shone and he let out a sound of admiration.

The owner of the stall is a young Chinese man, who looks about the same age as Liske. His stall sells all cold weapons, and the English description on the brand above says that they are all handmade by him.

These cold weapons include all kinds of ancient Chinese weapons. What Lisko saw were maces, daggers, long swords, broadswords, nunchucks, Tang knives, iron fans, darts, and a very tall Fangtian painted halberd.

The other side of the stall is full of cool weapons, including a replica of Thor's hammer, Loki's scepter from Marvel, rings and bows from Lord of the Rings, and some cool weapons from the RB anime.

Lisko took the initiative to go up and talk.

"BOY, did you do all this?"

The Chinese man raised his head and said, "Yes, my name is Moore Lin. I live in the next town. I made everything by myself."

Lisko looked at him and concluded that he might be a Chinese with a green card, so he spoke in Mandarin.

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

Lin Moor looked at the foreigner in front of him in surprise. Hearing authentic Mandarin with a Beijing accent from a foreigner in the United States, he felt a little dumbfounded.

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

Lisko explained, "Yes, my grandfather is Chinese, my grandmother is Jewish, my mother is British, and I am of mixed Chinese, Jewish and British descent."

Lin Moore also introduced, "Call me Lynch. Moore is an American name. My parents opened a Chinese restaurant in the town ahead. I helped here after graduation. I made these things by myself when I was bored at home. You speak Mandarin,

My grandfather is Chinese, why don't you go and have dinner at my house? My parents will definitely welcome you."

Liske's hand was tightly grasped by Lin Qi. Listening to Lin Qi's accent and enthusiastic attitude, he knew that he was from the Northeast.

"No, I will definitely pay you a visit next time I have the chance. How do you sell these weapons? They are very beautifully made. I bought a few of them to put in my study. They are much more tasteful than those little devil's knives."

Lynch was even more satisfied. He had just arrived in the United States for half a year and met many Chinese Americans. It turned out that the people he met were all generations of Chinese Americans and could not even speak Chinese. Apart from having a Chinese face, this time he met a

The foreign face and smooth Mandarin really made him feel like a fellow countryman, not to mention the little devil he heard Lisko say, which really made him feel like a fellow countryman.

"You don't have money, don't you look down on me? I'm not good at anything that little RB can do. I'm a half-baked learner from all of us. I learned the craft from my grandfather, the old blacksmith. I came here just to sell it for fun. All these things are useless."

It's made of fine steel, and it's extremely sharp when you open it to cut things. Brother, let me tell you, just take whatever you like, and you, Brother Lin, will do no harm."

He waved his hand grandly.

Seeing this Northeastern-style style, Li Ke was really dumbfounded.

The two argued for a long time, and Lisko had no choice but to take the Tang Dao, the iron fan, and an exquisite knife with an anime pig's feet that he forced on him, and returned to the car with a full armful of them.
