Chapter 150 149. Show Yourself (Fat League+4)

That's what I said, but several piles of old books fell to a hundred yuan, and still no one came to bid.

Old books are different from new books. Once an old book has no academic value, it is waste paper.

The price of waste paper in the U.S. market is US$210 per ton. A pile of old books can weigh up to 100 kilograms. Selling waste paper will not cost you much, and you will definitely lose money.

Hundreds of thousands of books from the two warehouses were auctioned off slowly from morning to afternoon.

At noon, Li Du and the others ate dumplings. A smart Chinese vendor pushed a trolley to sell fast food. The business was booming.

After the auction ended in the afternoon, Godzilla loaded books into the car. They took more than 4,000 books. It was still very difficult to carry, and the truck compartment was packed to the brim.

Seeing that it was still early in the sky, Li Du said, "Shall we go back to Flagstaff City?"

Hans wanted to stay: "We were tired all day, especially Godzilla, he must be even more tired after carrying so many books in the end, why don't we stay in Phoenix for a night."

Li Du shrugged and agreed. He knew that for Hans, the big city of Phoenix was much more attractive than the small town of Flagstaff.

They drove to the hotel, Li Du's cell phone rang, and when he connected, he heard Sophie's voice: "Hi, Li, where are you?"

"Here in Phoenix, how about you? Are you off work?"

Sophie said: "Yes, um, I got off work very early today, I wanted to treat you to dinner, thank you for helping me recently, you have helped me a lot. But you are in Phoenix, then later ..."

"It's like this Sophie, we're actually on our way back from Phoenix to Flagstaff, and we won't miss dinner time." Li Du changed his words immediately.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and Godzilla slammed the steering wheel, and the truck returned to the road.

Hans lay powerlessly on the co-pilot, and a wonderful night was wasted just like that.

Sophie said happily: "That's great, what kind of food do you want to eat?"

Li Du was also very happy: "Whatever."

After hearing this answer, the female doctor was a little distressed: "Whatever? Then I really don't know what to choose, because I don't know your taste."

Li Dugang was about to answer, but Hans waved to him and mouthed: "Stop the call!"

Although he didn't know what this guy was going to do, but he trusted Hans very much, so he told the female doctor that he would call later, and hung up temporarily.

"What's wrong?"

"Little Sophie wants to treat you to dinner?" Hans asked without answering.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Li Du subconsciously said, and then he was taken aback, "Damn it, are you eavesdropping on us?"

Hans rolled his eyes: "My ears are so good, who can you blame? Listen, it doesn't matter what I hear. If you want to have something to do with her, then the next words are very important."

Li Du muttered, "I can think of something to do with her."

Hans waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, when I didn't say anything..."

"Don't, don't, Boss Fu, keep talking, keep talking." Mr. Li laughed. He really liked the female doctor, and he really wanted to have something to do with it in the future.

Hans rolled his eyes again, and said, "From now on, don't pretend to be a saint in front of me, OK? Don't think you can hide anything from me about emotional issues, OK?"

"OK! OK! OK!" Mr. Li nodded his head.

Hans said: "I know Sophie. Their whole family is a devout believer. She has never played with boys since she was a child. I guess you are the first one to ask a man to have dinner with you."

Li Du smiled, smiling happily.

"So this means that in her heart, you are not an ordinary man, and you are not an ordinary man. You can't do things routinely, let alone dating."

Li Du said: "That's right, what should I do?"

"How to do it, show your best side, just like a male lion will show his strength in courtship, and I will show my 20cm big bird in courtship..."

"Fake! Be serious, bro!" It was Mr. Li's turn to roll his eyes.

Hans said: "I'm serious, what's your best side?"

Li Du thought for a while and said, "It's my kindness, bravery, and sense of responsibility..."

"Fake! Be serious, brother!" Hans returned the original words to him.

Mr. Li is very wronged, this is really his serious answer.

Hans said: "It's cooking. Your cooking is very good, which is very rare among men!"

"Then what?"

"Then you are so stupid? Take this opportunity to show off your cooking skills, what hotel restaurant do you go to? Bring the ingredients, go straight to Sophie's house, and enjoy the atmosphere of family life. It will definitely bring your relationship to a higher level!" Han Stein said firmly.

Li Du hesitated: "Will this be a little too radical?"

Hans said: "Why don't you first learn from Helene Hanff and Frank Del, and communicate on paper for 20 years, and then meet again?"

"What?"

Hans looked at him in shock: "You don't know this? The story between Helene Hanff, a New York female writer, and Frank Del, a bookseller at Marks and Cohen Bookstore in London, the famous love novel "Charing Cross Road" No. 84?"

Li Du touched his nose and said, "I'm not very interested in romance novels."

"Still riding a master's degree." Hans turned contemptuous.

Godzilla, who was driving, looked depressed: "The topic changes so quickly."

Back to the topic, Hans began to teach Li Du dating skills.

So, two hours later, when dusk fell and the lights of Wanjia slowly rose, Sophie heard someone knocking on the door of the house.

"Hello, I'm here." The female doctor ran over bouncingly.

She opened the door, and saw a bouquet of snow-white tulips in front of her, followed by Li Du.

Sophie looked at the flowers in surprise, pointed at her pretty face and said, "For me?"

Li Du shook his head and said, "No, don't get me wrong, this is for your piano. White tulips go well with the piano."

Sophie took the flowers generously, then covered her mouth with tulips, and said with a smile: "This must be the idea of ​​that villain Hans!"

Mr. Li also laughed, but it was an embarrassed smile: the female doctor guessed right, it was indeed Hans who taught him, including this sentence.

Seeing the change in his expression, Sophie smiled even more happily, and ran back to put the flowers in a vase, and solemnly put them on the piano.

Then, she looked back and smiled: "My piano said, thank you, she asked her master to invite you to dinner."

Li Du moved in a cardboard box and said, "Uh, can we not go out to eat? How about I cook a meal? My Chinese food is pretty good, and I know some Thai food, Japanese food and Korean food."

Sophie widened her eyes and said, "How can this work? It is agreed that I will treat you to dinner. Thank you for helping me many times."

Li Du said: "You may not understand that I am a person who likes to cook, and I especially like to watch others eat the dishes I cook, so if you allow me to do this, it is my greatest gratitude."

Sophie looked at him suspiciously and said, "It was also Hans who taught you?"

"No! I'm not Boss Fu's child!" Li Du couldn't laugh or cry, "It's true!"

Sophie said: "Then, I'm not going to be polite?"

"Come on!" Mr. Li said happily.
