Chapter 208 207. The Feeling of Trust (Niuniu League+2)

There are quite a lot of people who are interested in this textile machine. Li Du has already raised the price to 2,000 yuan, and there are still people following the price, but there are only two people.

Li Du continued to quote patiently, until the competition reached 2,800 yuan, and the two men shook their heads and withdrew.

The auctioneer pointed at him: "Two thousand eight hundred two thousand eight hundred two thousand eight hundred. This good antique belongs to this young man. Where is the applause? Let us congratulate him..."

After everything is auctioned off, everyone applauds, which is one of the reasons why the second-hand auction industry has a relatively harmonious atmosphere.

Someone came over to say hello to Li Du: "Hey, thank you buddy, I didn't expect this loom to be photographed by someone as young as you. I thought it would be an old guy who liked it."

Li Du smiled and said, "Actually, I have a very old heart. Is the machine yours? It's well maintained, and it's a good thing."

"Your heart is full of power, and I can see that it can also provide you with the energy to survive for hundreds of years." The white man with the mustache smiled.

After paying the money, the loom belongs to Li Du.

In this way, rawhide, carpentry tools, a healthy pony, and a textile machine, Li Du gathered the four things the other party wanted, and it took only three days!

This is thanks to Hans, with a coward like him as a partner, it is much more convenient for Li Du to handle affairs.

On Monday, the weather is still sunny.

Mr. Li was also in a very good mood. He and Godzilla moved the loom to the truck. Hans called Jones and asked him to send the pony to the home of the Amish woman.

Jones was closer than them, and Li Du and others set off earlier, so the two sides arrived at the Amish gathering area at about the same time, and the two trucks met.

When we arrived at the door of the woman's house, there were still things in the yard. It seemed that this kind of bartering method of second-hand goods trading was not very popular, and not many people participated in the transaction.

The two cars stopped, and two children, a man and a woman, ran out of the house. They were dressed in black and looked at Li Du and the others curiously.

Seeing a pony being led down, they immediately cheered: "Mom, mom, come and see, someone has brought a pony."

The woman who made a deal with Li Du came to the door wiping her hands, and she smiled when she saw the unloaded rawhide, carpentry tools, ponies, and the looms being carried.

Li Du walked over and said, "Ma'am, I've kept you waiting for a long time. Here are the four things you want. Please come and inspect them."

The woman said, "Nicholas, go, go to the farm and call your father over."

Jones was taken aback, and said, "What? Call me Dad..."

Before he finished speaking, the little boy next to the woman agreed crisply: "Okay, Mom."

The woman looked at Jones: "Sorry sir, what did you say?"

Jones was embarrassed: "It's nothing, I misunderstood just now, because my name is also Nicholas."

Hans laughed: "Obviously, it's a good name."

The little boy came back with several men, all dressed alike, about the same height, and because they all had big beards, they looked alike.

All Amish men are required to grow beards when they come of age, but beards are not allowed above the lips.

Li Du discovered an Amish man they knew before, their neighbor Thomason.

Thomason also recognized the two of them, and said with a smile: "My two friends, are you the one Ashley is talking about? I should have thought of it earlier, how many residents with oriental faces are here?"

Li Du shook hands with him and said, "Yes, Mr. Thomason, it's nice to see you again. Come on, let's take a look at our goods with your friends."

The husband of the woman, Ashley, was a bearded blonde, and Thomason introduced them to Ricky Tasima.

After shaking hands with Li Du, Ricky said with some embarrassment: "I have to apologize to you for my previous suspicion, sir. I learned that my wife gave you the specimen before there was no guarantee, and I questioned her decision. Think she's stupid for doing that."

Li Du smiled and said, "I understand your worries. There are indeed some guys in this society who don't have the spirit of contract."

He kind of liked these Amish people, and they were very honest. If Ricky didn't say these things, they wouldn't know, but Ricky said it anyway and apologized to them.

Hans said, "My friend, you are right to be suspicious. Your wife is a little too gullible."

This time, Ashley met Li Du, who is a fastidious person. If she met someone with a slightly worse character, she would probably take the specimen and leave without admitting it.

A man checked the pony's physical condition carefully and said with a smile, "Ricky, your family has a healthy and strong horse, and it's a mare."

Toddler Nicholas yelled: "I want to ride a horse, I want to ride a horse, this horse is mine."

The little girl called out: "No, this is a little mare. She is just like me. She is my good companion. I have already named her, the girl Irene."

The quality of the rawhide is fine, the carpentry tools are a complete set, the pony is healthy and still a mare, and although the looms are second-hand, they run smoothly.

The four items Li Du sent were of high quality, and the Amish were very happy after checking them.

Ricky invited them into the house: "It's too hot today, we can't let the guests stay in the sun, please come in with us, let us make a cup of herbal tea for you."

Hans winked at Li Du and said, "Wow, good people are rewarded, God is right."

"What do you mean?" Li Du didn't understand.

"The Amish are friendly but wary of outsiders, allowing outsiders to photograph their houses and pony carts, but rarely allowing outsiders to enter their homes," Hans said.

As they walked in, Thomason said, "Guys, I hope you don't take pictures later, okay?"

Li Du nodded and said, "We understand, we don't know how to take pictures."

"Thank you for your understanding." Thomason grinned, showing his teeth.

The wooden building is very spacious, the floor is covered with clean and tidy carpets, there are no decorations in the living room, only two vases are filled with some picked wild flowers.

Ricky brought chairs and everyone sat together, while Ashley made herbal tea, then drew cold well water from the well, filled the herbal tea into an iron pot and put it into the well water.

Li Du noticed that there were gas lamps hanging at the door of the house, but there were also electric lamps, obviously the Amish used electricity.

Seeing his doubts, Thomason said with a smile: "You think we are primitive people, right? In fact, we are very trendy. You guessed it, we also use electricity."

Li Du waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, you misunderstood. I didn't think you lived a primitive life. I just wondered why you don't use electric tools if you have electricity? Why don't you use electric looms?"

Ricky explained: "Because our electricity comes from wind and solar, we need to use it sparingly. As for the loom, it's because my wife doesn't know how to use an electric loom."

Li Du: "..."
