Lisko’s American Life

Lisko had breakfast, prepared the change and set off. The home auction is a good exhibition in the United States to deal with second-hand goods in the United States. It is often held every six months, and the exhibition here in Garrison is also the same.

When I arrived at the exhibition, I happened to meet Colt and Rooster who came to purchase.

"Li, you are also here to participate in the exhibition? Could it be that you have something to sell?" Colt joked, closing the car door.

"I'm here to shop, and I'll buy some if I like it. Is this a big purchase? You two are still together." Lisko complained at him.

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

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

"Great, this job suits me very well. We are training now and preparing to participate in the Colorado football game next month. We will strive to get out of the circle and qualify for the All-American football game." Colt was elated when talking about his work of.

"Our school team has a few good seedlings, and I think they are even better than me back then."

Lisko looked at the very confident Colt and patted him on the shoulder. He was not interested in this kind of games where clothes were wrapped and bumped around. He still likes to watch basketball games and often follows the Rockets 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 handled by a unique merchant. It is basically the residents of the town. Mark the price, if someone is interested, just pay for it, and the organizer will pack it for you and put it in the car. If there is any inconvenience, you will pay for the shipping fee and send it home, so every time you hold it It will attract many people from other areas to join in the fun, and now the town is already crowded with people.

Of course, Lisko didn't need anything. He came here this time just to join in the fun, and he bought anything he was interested in.

At this kind of auction, whether you come to buy things or join in the fun, you can't help but buy some, because the things here are often ridiculously cheap. For example, a set of 20 copies originally cost $50. A full set of encyclopedias only sells for 8 dollars. Lisko looked at it and found that he hadn’t used it much, so he couldn’t help but take a picture of it. Everything here is paid in cash, which is why he brought a bunch of change at home.

Next to it is a shop selling old clothes, a brand-name high-end suit originally priced at $3,000, which only costs $5 here, as well as all the expensive satchels, and some puppet carts eliminated by children, selling a variety of things.

In the United States, disposing of these daily necessities, old household appliances and other garbage often requires high garbage disposal fees, so people like to half sell these old things and half give them to those who need them, which is also the origin of this kind of auction. Lisko has heard the more surprising RB before. The furniture or electrical appliances they eliminated are often placed in a designated area on the street. Some people living in poverty can choose the items they can use without paying. Any money can be taken home.

Lisko also saw an exquisite copper pot and vase, which Lisko bought for twenty dollars, intending to add a little character to his house full of ceramics.

Walking around, Lisko saw a lot of weird things, including magic props marked as witches, dolls in a pile of toy coffins, which are said to be used for curses, and a booth selling bottles of Coke from his collection Lisko also bought an old-fashioned gramophone and a bunch of vinyl records. He tried it at the booth. Try it, it can still be used normally.

There are also some street artists selling their works here. Lisko chose a few oil paintings that look very colorful and have a distant artistic conception, and plan to hang them in his study at home. Most of these oil paintings are imitated by the artist. It looks very realistic.

Lisko wandered into the middle and saw a group of people surrounded in a messy area. He squeezed in, saw the items on the booth, his eyes lit up, 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 Lisko. His stall sells cold weapons, and the English introduction of the brand on it says that they are all handmade by himself.

These cold weapons include all kinds of weapons in ancient China. What Lisko saw included mace, dagger, long sword, broadsword, nunchaku, Tang knife, iron fan, darts, and a very tall Fangtian painted halberd . The other side of the booth is full of cool weapons, including the imitation Thor's Hammer, Loki's scepter in Marvel, the ring and bow and arrow in the Lord of the Rings, and some cool weapons in RB anime.

Lisko took the initiative to go up to chat.

"BOY, did you do all of these?"

The Chinese man looked up, "Yes, my name is Moore. Lin, I live in a nearby town, and I made everything by myself."

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

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

Lin Moore looked at the foreigner in surprise. He was a little dumbfounded to hear authentic Mandarin with a capital accent in the mouth of a foreigner in the United States.

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-English descent."

Lin Moore also introduced, "Call me Lynch. Moore is an American name. My parents opened a Chinese restaurant in the town in front of me. I helped here after graduation. I made these things by myself when I was bored at home. You speak Mandarin. My grandfather is still Chinese, why don’t you wait for my family to have dinner? My parents will definitely welcome it.”

Lisko's hand was firmly held by Lynch. Hearing Lynch's accent and enthusiastic attitude, he knew that he was from the Northeast.

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

Lynch's satisfaction is even higher. He has just been in the United States for half a year, and he has met many Chinese Americans. As a result, the others are all generations of Chinese, and they can't even speak Chinese. Apart from having a Chinese face, this time they met a The mandarin-speaking foreign face really made him feel like a fellow, not to mention the little devil he heard Lisko say, it really made him feel like a fellow.

"What money is not money, look down on me, the little RB's things are not good, I am a half-baked child after learning from us, I learned the craft from my grandfather, an old blacksmith, and I came here to sell it for fun. It's made of fine steel, and it's extremely sharp when you open the seal and chop things up, brother, let me tell you, just take whatever you like, Brother Lin, you're fine."

He waved his hand vigorously.

Seeing this Northeast-style style, Li Ke was really a little 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 made of anime pig's knuckles that he had forced on him, and went back to the car with his arms full.
