Goatee Garter wandered around for a while. He also had his eyes on the broken chandelier.
He came back and asked, "What's the price of that chandelier?"
Li Du said, "We don't intend to sell it. If you like it, you can take it with you, but you'll also have to take everything around it."
Garter said with disdain, "Those are all trash, why would I take them?"
Li Du laughed. "Don't tell me you want to get a valuable treasure for free?"
Garter continued with disdain, "Your chandelier is already broken. A lamp that can't light up isn't a good lamp, and it's definitely not a treasure!"
Li Du shrugged and said, "Alright, whatever you say. Those are our terms."
The George brothers and Garter didn't want to accept this condition because they had driven a pickup truck. For the pile of trash, the pickup truck's compartment was too small.
Garter said, "How about another condition? For example, I can spend money to buy this. "
Li Du shook his head. "Sorry, I don't need money now. What I need is someone to help me deal with the trash."
Garter said helplessly, "Come on brother, look at my truck, its compartment is too small. D * mn it, I can't take it with me!"
Li Du said, "I'm sorry, I can't trade with you either. I'll say it again: those are my conditions. But I have another way for you to get it. "
"What way?"
Li Du pointed at something in the compartment that looked like a jade carving. "I think this thing is very beautiful, like a piece of art."
After a pause, he said, "Why don't we learn from the Amish and barter? If you're willing to trade it, I think I'll be happy to give you the chandelier."
Garter looked at him suspiciously. "This is a man-made imitation jade carving. It's not worth much."
Li Du laughed. "Really? But I quite like its style. "
Looking at his smile, Garter slowly smiled as well. He hugged the carving to his chest and said, "No, no, no, this won't do. This is actually a treasure. I won't trade it."
Big George walked over and said, "Don't be silly. A man-made imitation jade carving is not worth much at all. Li, are you sure you want to trade it for the chandelier?"
Garter sneered, "Idiot, Li has a good eye. Whatever he's interested in must be a treasure!"
At that moment, Godzilla walked over. He picked up the distilling boiler and asked, "How much?"
Li Du looked at him in surprise and asked, "You want this thing? What do I need this for? This is trash. "
Godzilla shook his head and said concisely, "I can brew wine."
Garter rubbed his hands and asked, "This is your buddy?"
Li Du said, "Yes, my good brother."
Garter raised his eyebrows and said, "We can learn from the Amish and barter, but not with my baby. You can use your crystal lamp to trade for my boiler, and then give it to your friend as a gift!"
Li Du laughed and said, "You're really good at scheming, buddy."
Garter pressed his hands down. "Don't be in such a hurry to deny it. I want to ask, if your friend wanted this chandelier, would you give it to him? It's a broken chandelier. "
Li Du thought about it and said, "I think I will give it to him."
Garter said, "That's right, isn't it? If you're willing to give him the chandelier, why not trade it for something he likes? "
Li Du thought about it and nodded. "You're right, I don't know how to refute you."
"Then don't refute me," Garter said excitedly. "Accept the deal."
The George brothers were unhappy. Younger George walked over and said, "Li, we wanted the chandelier first. You can't do this."
"Yes, buddy, it's just a distilling boiler. If you like it, I can go to the grocery store and buy one for you."
Li Du said, "It's not me who likes it, it's my buddy who likes it."
Godzilla stared at the George brothers like a beast looking at them.
Seeing this, the George brothers spread their hands and said, "Alright, we don't mean anything else. Looks like we're going to miss out on this treasure."
Garter said proudly, "You guys should know the rules of the old goods market. Barter will never be eliminated. Bring some good stuff with you when you go out. Learn more, you idiots!"
"This guy is a * shole," the older George said angrily.
Younger George also agreed, "Of course, he's definitely a * shole."
Godzilla brought the distilling boiler with him. Garter carefully put the chandelier into a big box and put it in the car.
Li Du asked, "You'll fix it, right?"
Garter gave him a sidelong glance and said, "This thing is mine. What I do with it is none of your business."
Li Du agreed with the George brothers. There was nothing wrong with the way everyone called him: he was a * shole!
Younger George saw that he was embarrassed and laughed. "Do you regret making the deal with him now?"
Li Du shook his head and said, "No, we all like this thing."
Older George asked curiously, "Why do you guys like the distilling boiler? You guys want to make moonshine? But you guys still need a sports car. "
Li Du did not understand the second half of his sentence and asked, "What do you mean? Why do we need a sports car to make our own moonshine? "
Hans explained, "He's talking about a joke. In the 1930s and 1950s, moonshine smugglers hid the moonshine in their cars. In order to avoid the local police, they had to transport it at night.
"Because they always drove in extreme conditions, their driving skills continued to develop. They learned how to increase the horsepower of the car to escape the authorities.
"In some southern states, a car loving culture emerged, which eventually evolved into the NASCAR series. So, he said you need a sports car to escape the state police. "
The NASCAR series was a popular automobile race in the United States. Every year, more than 150 million people watched the race live.
The television ratings of this race far exceeded those of sports such as baseball, basketball, and football. Some people called it America's F1 race.
In fact, the car that the winner of the first NASCAR race used was the same car that he had used to smuggle the moonshine a week ago.
Li Du smiled and shook his head. "No, no, we don't plan to make moonshine. We don't do illegal business."
Older George looked regretful. "You guys have this kind of tool, but you don't use it to make moonshine. That's a waste."
Li Du looked at the distilling boiler and said, "I bought it because I think it's an antique."
The George brothers laughed. They thought Li Du was joking.
Hans knew that Li Du was not joking. Otherwise, he would not have spent so much effort to trade for the distilling boiler.
Mr. Li thought it was a treasure and very valuable!
