Chapter 77 77. A Cup of Ginger Soup

The Ceramic Art Museum is naturally willing to buy these animal models.

As a result, a bidding war broke out again. Lu Qi Payne was specially sent to bargain. Start a fierce battle.

After Hans quoted the outrageous price of 100,000 yuan, and Payne didn't take two colleagues away, Li Du knew that the item would definitely be sold.

Sure enough, the final price reached 61,000 yuan, and Payne nodded and accepted: "Although this is a bit high, we should respect the artwork itself, and we are willing to accept this price."

Hanston immediately changed his expression as a previous businessman. He extended his hand and clapped Penn's hands, and laughed loudly: "Thank you for your understanding, brother, God bless you, I am very glad to see you buy these works of art."

Payne also laughed: "Thank you for finding these toys and pottery. We know that Cohen has been to Humphreys Town. We didn't expect him to leave so many treasures there."

Everyone put the ceramics into cardboard boxes for preservation. Payne and the others drove a Toyota Highlander, so they had to hire a car to transport the ceramics.

Just in time, Hans' car was repaired and delivered, and he said cheerfully, "Why spend money to hire a car? Come on, I'll take it to you, but when you get to Phoenix, you have to buy me a cold beer."

Payne patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good man, the cold beer is ready, as well as delicious food that you will like."

"Then what are we waiting for? It's damn hot and I can't wait to enjoy a cold beer."

61,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan was used for repairing the car, and 60,000 yuan was divided into 36,000 yuan by Li Du.

Mr. Li will be fine when Hans goes to deliver the goods. At noon at the end of March, Flagstaff City is indeed very hot, and it seems to be raining. The weather is very muggy, and there are dark clouds brewing in the distance.

Nothing to do, after returning home, he saw that the supermarket sold Mexican ebony plums, so he bought some and went home to make sour plum juice for drinking.

This is very easy to cook. He bought rock sugar, dried hawthorn and sweet-scented osmanthus, put them in the pot and stewed on high heat first, and then turned to low heat to simmer.

After cooking for an hour, the ebony plums and hawthorns were boiled into slag, which he poured out and filtered through gauze, and the rest was purple-black sour plum juice.

After cooling down naturally, he tasted it, and it tasted sour and sweet, but it was a pity that there was a lack of licorice, otherwise it would not only relieve the heat but also moisten the throat.

At this time, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the cloud has covered the sun. It is estimated that another spring rain will come.

Plum juice needs to be chilled to taste good. There is no ice machine here, so Li Du had to put the plum juice in the refrigerator. At the same time, he found a plastic bowl and artificially made ice cubes in the freezer.

In the evening, with a muffled thunder, the sky seemed to turn on a faucet, and it began to rain heavily.

Ah Miao was startled when she heard the muffled thunder, and started jumping up and down in the room with her tail between her legs.

Li Du hurried over to appease it: "Come on, come on, Ah Miao, come into Daddy's arms, don't get stuck on the sofa and can't get in, come here, you won't be afraid when Daddy hugs you."

The sound of the key opening the door sounded, and Rose walked in angrily.

She looked very embarrassed, her hair and clothes were soaked, and for some reason she was wearing an OL uniform. Li Du stared at it with wide eyes, then shook his head regretfully. The shirt was too thick, so he couldn't see anything.

As expected of a policeman, Rose has a keen sense, so he glanced at it twice, and Rose immediately scolded: "What are you looking at? You're still shaking your head, be honest!"

Li Du pursed his lips and didn't have the same knowledge as her. He now knew that the landlord was a woman, or the kind who came to the aunt every day, and picked his nose and eyes every day, so there was no time to get angry.

After entering the room, Rose kicked off her high heels, and stepped on the floor directly, with watermarks on each foot.

Seeing this, Mr. Li had a reason to fight back: "I shook my head because you are going to trouble me. Look, the floor is so wet, and you don't do housework. Don't you have to clean it up?"

Rose snorted and didn't answer, put on her slippers and went to the refrigerator to find something to drink.

She was taken aback when she saw the sour plum juice: "Where did you buy it? There are also ice cubes. It seems that you enjoy it."

"What to buy, I cooked it myself." Li Du came over and closed the refrigerator, quickly chopped some ginger, mixed it with brown sugar and boiled it with hot water.

Seeing him push the refrigerator door shut, Rose said disdainfully, "You're so stingy, did I tell you I would drink your plum juice?"

Li Du handed her brown sugar ginger water and said, "Please, Ma'am, I didn't let you drink sour plum juice, but you drink iced things when you get wet in the rain? Are your stomach and immune system made of iron? Drink something hot." water."

Rose held the cup and wanted to retort, but she opened her mouth without saying a word, and took a sip silently.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, Li Du said: "Do you want to change clothes? Be careful of catching a cold."

Rose said bluntly: "I'm not a young lady in a boudoir. I'm not that delicate. I don't need to change my clothes. I have to go to the police later, and I'll get wet even if I put on new clothes."

Li Du was astonished and said: "The police are always dispatched on such a day? You comrades in the police in the United States really do their duty."

Hearing the teasing in his tone, Rose glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "We have been doing our best, this time we are going to search for two robbers. They robbed a jewelry store in LA. Someone saw it in the next neighborhood this morning. Two people, we need to catch them as soon as possible."

Li Du said: "Then go into the house and search for it."

Rose said in frustration: "No, we don't have a search warrant issued by the court, because the witnesses can't be sure of their identities."

"Why are you dressed like this?"

"Pretend to be a bank finance salesman, knock on doors and look for them."

Li Du said: "This is really a stupid action. Who made it? The salesman will still work under such heavy rain? There is obviously a problem!"

Rose responded calmly to this question: "But there is no better way. Their existence is a threat to the safety of the community. We must arrest them as soon as possible."

At this time, her mobile phone rang, and a loud female voice rang after it was connected: "Hey, Rose, have you changed your aunt's towel? It will rain more tonight, we have to find those bitches in the afternoon raised!"

Rose blushed, put down her cup and hurried out.

Li Du blinked, he had wrongly blamed her, the landlord really came to his aunt today.
