Chapter 157

The boss was relieved when they left Tucson to check out, having been spooked by Godzilla's appetite for two mornings.

Because of the free breakfast, he didn't make money from this business but lost money...

Leaving Tucson, they could go straight to Phoenix.

Li Du asked: "Why don't you deal with the old books first when you go back?"

Hans said casually: "It was sold last night. I asked Hannah to take a photo and upload it on E-bay, and it sold quickly."

"So fast?" Li Du was quite surprised.

Hans said: "Of course, as long as you find a suitable buyer on Facebook, leave a message for them and leave your E-bay address, they will come to your door."

Li Du smacked his lips. Hans is an expert in handling second-hand goods. He is not only proficient in various processing channels and methods, but also full of patience when looking for customers.

When they arrived in Phoenix, they settled for lunch first, and then headed to the local branch of the American Warehouse Treasure Pickers Association.

The fat secretary Valerie Walker was eating a vegetable salad with a sad face, Hans waved enthusiastically: "Dear girl, what are you worrying about?"

Valerie said listlessly: "Because I can only eat grass, just like cattle and sheep. Obviously, I don't want to be a cattle and sheep."

Hans handed her a bag he had packed during lunch, and after opening it, a scent came out. There were grilled veal steaks, fried chicken nuggets, and egg tarts, all of which were delicacies.

Seeing these foods, Valerie's small eyes suddenly widened.

She swallowed her saliva and said, "Don't, Boss Fu, don't tempt me, I'm losing weight."

Hans waved his hand and said, "Let's lose weight tomorrow, and enjoy it today, right, Li?"

Li Du smiled and said: "It's okay to lose weight today, but you still have to eat. How can you lose weight if you're not full?"

This sentence, which is common on the Internet in China, is very rare in the United States. Valerie laughed out loud after hearing it.

The female secretary was obviously moved a long time ago. After hearing what the two said, she reached out to get the packing bag.

At this moment, several people came in, and someone said, "Don't listen to their bewitching, Valerie, this is harming you."

Li Du turned his head and saw a young man staring at him viciously. It was the little Mr. Rick he met when he picked up leaks to the WWII veterans' warehouse. Hans had threatened him with a machine gun at that time.

There was a middle-aged man next to little Rick, and the two looked almost alike. Among them, the middle-aged man had a pair of protruding ears, which were very big, which looked a little funny.

There is no doubt that this is Little Rick's father, Geoffrey Rick, the treasure picker of Flagstaff City nicknamed Dog Ears.

Excellent treasure hunting kings all have excellent eyesight. Although Li Du only glanced at Rick's ear, the other party noticed it immediately, and said to him coldly: "Take care of your eyes, and if you don't want to cause trouble, put your head in your crotch .”

"He already has a head in his crotch." A middle-aged man next to him laughed.

"Who said that? Maybe not? Look at this guy's skin and tender flesh, I bet he's clean inside his crotch."

"I bet you that his crotch is definitely not clean, at least there is a pile of hair."

"Asian little black hair? As cute as their hair, isn't it?"

These people came with malicious intentions, apparently for the two of them, Li Du saw their hostility, he didn't want to cause trouble in Phoenix, after all, this is not their territory.

But Hans became more irritable. He looked at several people and said contemptuously, "Where did the dog bark just now? The voice is soft enough. Are they a group of dogs castrated by their masters?"

Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, Valerie patted the table with her fat hand and said, "Be quiet, guys, don't let the good mood brought by lunch disappear early."

Little Rick said: "We are for you, Valerie, these two guys have bad intentions, you should lose weight, they are tempting you!"

Hans sneered and said, "Yes, I admit this, but I should lose weight? I don't think so."

"You want to make Valerie a buffoon? You can't find a man if you don't lose weight." Little Rick said immediately.

Hans said: "So in your eyes, fat people are clowns? So finding a partner depends on body shape and appearance? I always thought that true love would accept everything from you!"

This is sophistry, Li Du knew that Hans was talking nonsense, but what he said made sense, and it was more likely to win the approval of a fat girl.

That's the truth, Valerie nodded after listening to Hans' words.

Hans continued: "Valerie, you know better than us that you are the kind of girl who tends to gain weight. Even if you lose weight successfully, as long as you enjoy delicious food, you will gain weight back quickly, right?"

"Yes." The fat girl said dejectedly.

Hans said: "So, do you want to enjoy life and live happily? Or give up delicious food for the eyes of others, and live a wronged and painful life?"

"There is also the question of finding a man. Do you really need to rely on a man? And a man who was with you when you were thin and beautiful?"

Valerie resolutely said: "No, I'd rather be a celibate. Being with you rotten people let me know that there are no purely good men in the world except God!"

Saying that, she took the food bag.

Little Rick said anxiously: "Valerie, you should lose weight..."

Valerie shrugged and said: "Boss Fu is right, I am destined to be single in this life, why should I lose weight? Life is short, and it is more important to live happily, isn't it?"

"But obesity can cause many diseases. If you want to live a happy life, you must have a good body." Little Rick continued to argue.

Li Du said: "Although I hate this guy, he is right."

Valerie said with a smile: "Maybe, but if I give up food, I won't be happy even if I can live for two hundred years."

Little Rick still wanted to talk, but his big-eared father frowned and pulled him behind him, saying to Hans, "What are you doing here?"

Hans felt that he had won the battle and became a little complacent: "Oh, we are here to join the 100,000 club."

Rick smiled sullenly, and said, "Really? Why do you join the 100,000 club? Have you ever earned more than 100,000 twice in a row?"

"Of course!" Hans said.

Rick said leisurely: "But as far as I know, there is no specific, reliable and provable income of 100,000 yuan for the money you earn!"

Hans said: "Sorry, we do. We sold ivory before and got more than 200,000 yuan. This book auction, we have earned more than 200,000 yuan!"

"Do you have specific and reliable proof of the income from selling ivory?" Rick asked with a playful smile.

Li Du didn't know why he was messing around here, he ignored these people lazily, and let Hans deal with it, and kept silent.

After Rick finished speaking, he found that Hans' expression became a little dignified, and his heart sank, knowing that the situation was not good.
