Li Du felt a little embarrassed to eat and take.
However, Tomasson was very stubborn and insisted that they pick some vegetables from the field to bring back.
Hans said, "Let's bring some gifts to visit them some other day. We'll bring some gifts that they need and that they can use."
"Like a pony?" Li Du laughed.
Jones said, "Remember to buy it from my ranch. We'll still give you a discount."
After lunch, it was too hot to work in the vegetable field. With such strong sunlight, one's skin would break very quickly.
Li Du was very impressed by the sunshine and temperature in Arizona. It was still early July, and it was already so hot in Flagstaff. How hot could it be in Phoenix in August or September?
Flagstaff was located in the northern part of the state, on the Colorado Plateau. It was close to the Grand Canyon National Forest, so the temperature was slightly lower than cities in the south.
Ricky and the others did not go to work at this time of the day. They usually took a nap or chatted in the afternoon.
Today, because they had just gotten some tools and a pony, Ricky did not rest. He brought the children to clean up the pony's stable, and he also helped his wife move the old loom to a new one.
During this time, Ashley showed Li Du and the others a pair of high-heeled leather shoes and a blue and white dress. These were all handmade products and were usually worn for weddings.
Hans had chosen a complete set of woodworking tools. Ricky liked them very much, but he decided to give them to his cousin.
According to Amish customs, when a man and a woman got married, they gave each other tools.
Ricky's cousin was getting married soon, so he thought that the complete set of woodworking tools would win the favor of his cousin's husband. After all, the tools were brand new and all handmade.
In short, Ricky felt that his family had made a profit from this transaction.
Li Du felt that he had also gained a lot. Not only because of the specimen that he was interested in, but also because he had gained the friendship of the Amish.
Now he was more and more interested in the specimen. During lunch, Ricky and Ashley had told him that the specimen was brought back from Africa by his grandfather. It was very old and there were very few of it left in the world.
Could it be that there was a limit to the little bug's ability to reenact time? It could only go back to a certain point in time, and at that point in time, the specimen had already been made.
If that was the case, he believed that the specimen had been around for a very long time, and if it was as rare as Ricky had said, it might be worth a lot of money.
However, the urgent matter at hand was not to deal with the specimen, but to deal with the old Winchester and the pile of game discs.
When the weather was not so hot, they followed Tomasson to his vegetable garden.
There were many kinds of vegetables in the garden, such as celery, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, beans, and so on.
Li Du picked a bright red tomato. The Amish did not use pesticides when growing vegetables, so there was no need to wash it. After wiping it with his hands, he put it in his mouth and took a bite.
The tomato was ripe. When he bit into it, the tomato juice splashed all over his mouth. There was tomato juice on his lips, chin, and nose.
Seeing this, Hans chuckled and said, "So you like * * *. What a unique hobby, my big brother!"
Li Du wanted to give him the middle finger, but considering that the Amish were there, it was not a friendly gesture. Li Du could only give him a kick.
The tomatoes were sweet, and the tomato juice was not sour at all. This kind of tomato was very suitable for stewed beef brisket, so he picked a few and put them in the bag.
There was also celery. This summer, when mixed with mashed garlic, it was simply delicious. He also picked a bunch of celery.
Beans could not be left out. Coincidentally, there were chilies in the field. Fresh chilies with fresh beans, plus fat pork in a pot, made his mouth water just thinking about it.
He did not pick a lot, just enough for one or two meals. However, in the end, he still got a few bags.
After saying goodbye to Tomasson, the four of them drove away.
When they got home, Li Du put the vegetables in the fridge. Hans took the computer and searched for news of the sale.
After a while, he shouted excitedly, "Hey, Li, good news, good news!"
Li Du asked, "What's wrong? Did someone contact you to buy a gun? "
Hans said, "No, it's a big deal. Buddy, there's a movie storage auction in Los Angeles. We have to go. It's a big event!"
Li Du asked curiously, "Movie storage auction? Is the movie theater's storage going to be sold? "
Hans shook his head and said, "No, what good stuff can there be in a movie theater's storage? It's the movie company's storage. You know, Hollywood produces so many movies every year. Who knows how many props are piled up in the storage!
"Movie props, filming tools, and some things from the release and publicity will all be in there. They will all be auctioned off!"
Li Du understood. "In this kind of warehouse, there might be props from the filming of movies, or autographed posters of celebrities, right?"
Hans said, "Yes, in the last movie storage auction, there was a guy who got his hands on an original motorcycle from 'Lightspeed.'"
"Props and motorcycles are also valuable?"
"Not just props! That motorcycle had a super strong engine, hydraulic brakes, and an on-board computer. The rear wheels had flashing lights. It was as cool as in the movie. In the end, it sold for half a million dollars! "
At the end of his story, Hans's eyes were sparkling.
Li Du said decisively, "Then what are you waiting for? Get it! "
Half a million dollars! Even though he had close to six million dollars now, he still felt that he was poor.
Hans said, "Of course, of course, we have to go to Los Angeles. We have to go to a big city to find a buyer for this gun. We can't sell it in Flagstaff. It won't fetch a high price."
He put the gun up on eBay, Face-Book, and Instagram to see if anyone would take the initiative to look for it. Then he brought the game discs with him to sell.
Hans found a video game store. After he took out the discs, the store owner said in surprise, "You guys got some good stuff. There are some antiques in here that can't be found anymore."
"How much are you willing to pay?"
The store owner said, "I can't buy them all. If you are willing to take them apart, I can buy your 'Mad Vikings,' 'Rock & Roll Racing,' 'Dragon's Eye,' and 'Warcraft: Humans and Orcs.' The price is negotiable."
Hans shook his head. "No, I won't take them apart. This is a complete set. I want the whole set."
The store owner also shook his head. "If that's the case, then it's meaningless. There are too many 'World of Warcraft' discs in here. They're not worth much."
Hans said, "These 'World of Warcraft' discs are all collector's editions. My friend, collector's editions are not worth much?"
The store owner said helplessly, "Alright, maybe they're worth some money. But who am I going to sell them to? There aren't many collectors in Flagstaff. "
