Chapter 160 159. Under the Prestige (Duanmu League+4)
Hans was so hot that he couldn't speak, he kept pointing to the iced rice wine and nodding.
Li Du was not in a hurry, he grinned, put ice cubes in the cleaned glass, and then picked up the wine bottle and poured the wine from the rice soup into it.
Although it is only filtered with gauze, the rice wine is not very viscous. After being poured into the crystal glass, it is as smooth as silk, and it flows down the wall of the glass, making it look more crystal clear than crystal.
He first poured a glass for Bieders and Nicole brothers and sisters. Bieders raised it up and shook his wrist lightly. The ice cubes in the glass hit the crystal glass and made a "click, click" sound, which looked very stylish.
It was Hans' turn, and after he got it, he directly made a toast. After drinking it with a gulp, he wiped his mouth and let out a sigh of relief: "Kah, that's great!"
Li Du smiled and said, "Can you taste it?"
Hans spread his hands and said, "I'm so thirsty, my brother. I have been watching all day today. I didn't die of dehydration in the depths of the desert. My parents in heaven blessed me!"
After drinking three glasses in a row, he slowed down.
Nicole looked like a tomboy, but she was quite a lady when she drank, sipping small sips with thoughtful eyes.
Li Du poured himself a glass, then handed the bottle to Godzilla.
The big Mexican scratched his head in embarrassment, but he was not polite, took the bottle and drank it in big gulps.
Li Du also took a sip. The rice wine tasted sweet and sour, and the aroma of the wine was quite spicy, but the taste was very good. It looked as smooth as silk, and it tasted even more so.
There is still a large bottle in the refrigerator. Nicole said after drinking two glasses: "This kind of wine can be used as a drink, but it cannot be used to make cocktails."
Li Du said: "They belong to beverages, how about them, how do they taste?"
Hans put down his cup and let out a sigh of relief: "Huhu, it's very cool, buddy, I can't live without this stuff from now on, let's go back and continue brewing, I'm your loyal customer."
It was evening and the sun was setting, but the heat wave was still rolling outside. Drinking sweet and cold iced rice wine at this time was really a kind of enjoyment.
After enjoying it, Hans told the news he found out.
"Tomorrow, the Phoenix Public Land Information Center has a batch of warehouses to be auctioned. This guy Rick asked a few officials today for some information. He will attend tomorrow."
Li Du asked: "Public Land Information Center? Isn't this a government department?"
It's really a government department that specializes in land and tourism information for the Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, etc.
Hans said: "Yes, but the Forest Service, National Parks, etc. often find things lost or thrown away by tourists, and they will be stored in the official warehouse. This time the auction is the official warehouse."
The Public Land Information Center will set up an official warehouse in each area, but this warehouse is notoriously a garbage warehouse, and many of them are used to store garbage.
Originally, the warehouse was used to accommodate the lost items that had not been found by the owner for a long time. It was regarded as a lost and found storage point. Every time an auction was held, treasure hunters would fight over their heads.
After the public land information center discovered this, it started throwing rubbish in it at a loss, and the treasure pickers paid for it.
After learning the information, Li Du and others rushed to the official warehouse early the next morning. They got the news too late to investigate the situation in advance.
Fortunately, his control over the bug is getting stronger and stronger now, as long as he doesn't use the ability to forcibly absorb time energy, he can control the bug for a long time.
The warehouse of the Public Land Information Center is located in a desert on the outskirts of Phoenix. There are no buildings in the surrounding area, just a large crude warehouse.
Looking at the big warehouse, Li Du exclaimed: "The national warehouse is magnificent!"
The warehouses they participate in are generally small and mini-sized, and the warehouses here start with large ones, often covering an area of about a hundred square meters.
Hans said disdainfully: "The warehouse is small, how can it accommodate garbage?"
Because the Public Land Information Center was notorious, there were not many treasure hunters who came to the warehouse auction this time. There were no people under the scorching sun, and there were only dozens of trucks parked on the side of the road.
As soon as the sun came out early in the morning, it became scorching hot here, and there was not even a place to shade the warehouse. Li Du and others could only sit in the Iron Knight.
At first, he went to the warehouse and let out the bugs to have a look.
As a result, I found two warehouse bugs and only saw piles of garbage. There was no harvest and the weather was extremely hot. He was too lazy to stay outside and simply returned to the car.
At this time, the car is like a sauna room, and they have to turn on the air conditioner all the time.
When the auction started at nine o'clock, the door of the truck opened, and a group of people came out, and a voice full of resentment buzzed:
"Damn, is Phoenix going to explode? I feel like I'm on a volcano!"
"Roy, if you don't get anything this time, I'll make you look good. I wasted a lot of oil just by turning on the air conditioner!"
"Damn me too, I have a bad feeling..."
"Shut up, look who is that? Gou Er father and son, there must be something good here, what news did he hear!"
"Look over there, Chinese boss Li Hefu, they are here too, there must be something good!"
Rick was taken aback when he saw Hans and Li Du, and then sneered, "No wonder I haven't been able to sleep well recently, so I was being followed by two dogs."
Little Rick came over aggressively, pointed at them and said, "How does it feel to eat shit behind our ass?"
Godzilla jumped out of the car and walked over with a sullen face.
Seeing this, little Rick lost all momentum immediately. He remembered the past when he was pointed at with a machine gun by a big man that day, and he didn't dare to say anything harsh anymore, and ran away with his tail between his legs.
Li Du asked, "Why did you get out of the car too?"
Godzilla gasped heavily, "It's too hot."
An old auctioneer came out with a list and shouted: "It's so hot, let's not talk nonsense, there are a total of twelve warehouses today, all of which are large warehouses. "
It was indeed a hot day, and the auctioneer knew that there was nothing to gain, so he was too lazy to host the auction himself.
The first warehouse was opened, and Li Du had already checked it out. It was mostly rubbish, and the valuables were cultural shirts, tents, picnic cloths, etc., which could not be sold for much money.
Rick glanced at the two of them. He guessed Li Du's plan, so the first warehouse began to quote: "Two hundred yuan for me!"
Li Du reckoned that although the warehouse is mainly garbage, but fortunately the area is large enough, the garbage inside can be sold for 1,800 yuan after sorting.
So after hearing the quotation, he raised his hand and said, "Five hundred yuan for me!"
Rick and he are without a doubt the two biggest names among the treasure hunters on the scene. Both of them made an offer for this warehouse, and the treasure hunters immediately became interested and followed the price one after another:
"Five hundred and fifty dollars!"
"Six hundred!"
"Eight hundred yuan!"
Rick shook his head gloomyly, Li Du took the cigarette butt from Hans, walked over and said, "With me here, you don't even think about getting anything today, believe it or not?"
"Fake..." Little Rick opened his mouth and cursed.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Du immediately used the time-slowing skill, and then quickly raised his hand to flick the cigarette butt out.
Hitting the bullseye, the cigarette butt successfully fell into Little Rick's mouth!
