America’s Treasure King

Chapter 101: busy day

On Monday morning, Li Xiaoshuai worked part-time as a driver. He first sent Elaine to work in the SC area, and then turned to take his mother to a second-hand store.

Today, his mother asked someone to invite a female doctor to come over to see the doctor for Grandma Annie. He also has to help move the old lady down from the second floor. In addition, he was also a little concerned and wanted to know the inside story earlier.

After finishing all the preparations, the female doctor drove over after a while, and his mother Xia Huifang went out to greet him.

Through the clean glass of the shop, Li Xiaoshuai saw that this was a female doctor in her mid-40s. She looked very gentle, and was walking into the shop with her mother chatting and laughing.

When he came in, he also said hello to Li Xiaoshuai, speaking Mandarin was absolutely standard in his opinion. However, he later learned that the female doctor did not speak Mandarin at all, but the dialect of the capital.

After the female doctor came in, she didn't see a doctor right away, but chatted with everyone in the store for a while. When she heard her mother call her "Du", Li Xiaoshuai guessed that the doctor should have this surname.

Then Dr. Du started diagnosing Grandma Anne. She first took out a small pillow-like thing from her bag, pulled the grandma's hand and placed it on her back, and pressed three fingers on the artery in her wrist.

Li Xiaoshuai knew nothing about traditional Chinese medicine, and he was curious about everything he saw.

Dr. Du also began to ask questions, asking the old grandmother, what illnesses she had in the past, how she is feeling now, and how her bowel movements are. By the way, she wants the grandmother to open her mouth and stick her tongue out for her to see.

She also said to her mother in Chinese, look at the old lady's tongue, and said that it was due to phlegm and congestion, and it was very difficult to get better with age.

But Dr. Du didn't say that to the old lady. She reassured the old lady that this is a common disease of the elderly, and she needs to take medicine frequently.

The old lady was happy, and the old man was even happier.

Afterwards, Dr. Du began to prescribe medicines, and the writing was neat and delicate. He always wrote the names of many medicinal materials, and the handwriting on them: astragalus, safflower, etc. Li Xiaoshuai knew them, but he knew nothing about the specific use. .

In the end, Dr. Du took out his mobile phone, and the prescriber took a photo and sent it out. He also gave Li Xiaoshuai a place name and asked him to drive to pick up the medicine.

When Li Xiaoshuai came back with ten paper packets of medicine, Dr. Du left early.

His mother took the medicine and went to the back, and after a while, the store could smell a strong strange smell. His mother said that this is the smell of medicine, and it takes an hour to boil.

Li Xiaoshuai was still chatting with Grandma Annie. He wanted to see the effect of this therapy, but his mother said that the effect of taking traditional Chinese medicine is slow, especially for such a chronic disease.

His mother even pushed people directly: "Okay, you can go back, it's none of your business here."

When I got home, there was no one in the house. Li Xiaoshuai guessed that Bo Yang went to Frank's place to play on his BMX again. Maybe Frank will take him to the toilet to solve his physical problems when he is bored.

He put the hamburger he bought on the way on the table and said to himself that I bought lunch fortunately.

Just after lunch, a car came to the door. Li Xiaoshuai stretched his head to look, isn't it Lorenzo, he also carried a large package in his hand.

Li Xiaoshuai secretly applauded.

As soon as he entered the door, Lorenzo seemed to have not seen Li Xiaoshuai for decades, and hugged him affectionately. "How are you my friend, I miss you very much."

Knowing that it was a courtesy, Li Xiaoshuai also pretended to be very happy, saying thank you for your thoughts, everything is fine, if you can bring me antiques that satisfy me, it will be even better at a cheaper price.

After half a cup of coffee, Lorenzo opened the package he had brought and put three curios on the table.

Li Xiaoshuai saw that one was a scroll painting, it looked very new, and it was estimated that it was still in the past few decades. The second is a jasper lid box with dense patterns on the top, like a Qianlong goods.

The third piece is a red-colored lacquer ware with a thick paste and carved with a blooming peony.

Li Xiaoshuai secretly used the ability test to check, all of which are genuine.

The scroll painting was painted by the great modern painter Lu Yanshao. When opened, it is a four-foot green landscape, which is very delicate and beautiful. It can be said that it is not much worse than the Wang Shigu painting that Morgan sent him.

The second jasper lid box was indeed produced by the Qianlong court. This lid box can be thirty centimeters in diameter, which can be said to be a heavy tool in the Qianlong year.

The third red lacquer ware square box is even more precious, and it turned out to be from the Southern Song Dynasty. What is commendable is that this antique has a lifespan of almost a thousand years, and it can be preserved very well, with no cracks at all.

"It's good Lorenzo, how do you want to sell it?"

"Haha" got Li Xiaoshuai's approval, and the big belly Lorenzo was quite happy too. "This is all the collateral of the casino. The money you buy must be turned over to the financial room. Let me introduce you one by one."

He first pointed to Lu Yanshao's painting and said, "This rolled up painting was mortgaged at US$2,000. The red box was mortgaged at US$8,000. Finally, the green round box was mortgaged at US$20,000 at the time."

Li Xiaoshuai: "In other words, the three antiques you brought today need to give your financial office a large sum of $30,000?"

Lorenzo shook his finger and said, not only that, but also the interest over the years~www.wuxiaspot.com~ can be about 40,000 US dollars. "You can do the rest."

When he said this, Lorenzo "naughty" winked at Li Xiaoshuai, as if to imply something.

The three antiques are only 40,000 yuan. Li Xiaoshuai thinks it is very cost-effective. Any one here is more than 40,000 yuan, especially the red square box from the Southern Song Dynasty. Out.

Thinking of Lorenzo's wink again, Li Xiaoshuai had a plan in his mind. "Let me see it this way. I'll give your casino a big $42,000, so you can justify it."

Lorenzo nodded and waited for the next sentence with bright eyes.

"In addition, I am willing to give you 25% of the cash as your hard work. We are all old friends. How can I let you run away in vain."

"Well, yes." After saying that, Lorenzo gave Li Xiaoshuai an account and asked him to pay quickly.

After a while, Lorenzo received a call from the financial office of the casino. Li Xiaoshuai guessed that he had received the previous paragraph.

Then a thick stack of ten thousand dollar bills was handed into Lorenzo's hands, and the guy's eyes narrowed when he smiled. He also highly praised Li Xiaoshuai as a good person who is worth continuing to communicate with, and a person who can be trusted.

The Italian's eloquence is very good, he can speak for a long time without a speech, and Li Xiaoshuai's face flushes with praise.

Before leaving, Lorenzo also said that it is estimated that in a short period of time, a batch of black market antiques will be brought over. He asked Li Xiaoshuai to wait for the call and make an appointment to meet.

When he got home, Li Xiaoshuai picked up the Southern Song Dynasty tick red square box for a long time and was reluctant to let it go. He still said, "Heart and liver treasure, heart treasure, you are the priceless treasure in my heart..."
