After the baked apples came out of the oven, Li Du couldn't stop after one bite.
When Hannah had said she was going to make baked apples, Hans had looked excited. Li Du had thought he was acting, but now that he had tasted Hannah's baked apples, he couldn't stop praising them.
Hearing his compliments, Hans said proudly, "Of course, Hannah is good at baking apples. All the women in the Fox family are good at it. If you marry Hannah, then the women in the Li family will also be good at it."
Li Du pretended not to hear the second half of the sentence. He gave Hannah a thumbs up and said, "That's amazing."
The baked apples were warm and soft. The brown sugar and butter had been blended into the flesh, so it had the aroma of butter, the sweetness of brown sugar, the stickiness of honey, and, of course, the freshness of the fruit.
This way, the apples had a whole new taste. It wasn't the apple flavor of apples, which Li Du had never tasted before.
After eating delicious food and finishing their work, the day was very fulfilling.
The next step was to sell the set of silverware and furniture, which was Hans' job.
At noon on March 2nd, Hans brought Li Du to Papa's grocery store again. This was the store where they had sold the massage chair for the first time.
When they arrived, there were a few customers shopping in the grocery store. Kevin, the owner, waved at them as a greeting, and then left them alone.
The two of them walked around the store, but didn't see the Cashmere massage chair. Li Du said, "I bet the chair was sold!"
Hans said, "Is there a need to bet? It's been sold for half a month. "
Half an hour later, Kevin, who had finished serving the customers, walked over with a smile. "Hey, Hans, what good stuff did you bring this time?"
Hans gave Li Du a wink, and Li Du opened the suitcase, revealing a clean set of sterling silver plates, forks, and knives.
Kevin's eyes lit up when he saw the set of silverware. He picked up the plate and rubbed it. "Good silver, at least 95 percent silver!"
Hans's face was full of admiration. "You're an expert, Uncle Kevin. You're amazing. Not only did you see the material, but you also saw the color! Li, isn't my Uncle Kevin amazing? "
"That's amazing!" Li Du played along and showed a similar expression.
Kevin was in his sixties and had long since passed the age where he cared about his reputation. He laughed and scolded, "Go to hell. You've been in Phoenix for a few years, and your flattery skills have improved. Of course I can see it. There's Holiday's logo here. Their silver starts at 95%. "
Hans smiled sheepishly. "I'm being sincere. It's amazing that you can recognize Holiday's logo. Some people don't recognize good stuff and think that we're faking it."
Kevin raised his eyebrows and said, "It's possible. Based on my understanding of you, you bad boy, you're capable of doing such a thing."
Hans was unhappy. He took out his storage treasure hunter association VIP card and said, "You're slandering me and the association behind me!"
Kevin waved his hand and smiled. "Alright, you know I trust you. Tell me, how much do you want?"
"How about 5,000?" Hans asked.
Kevin pushed the set of cutlery in front of them. "Take it. I'll buy a new set for 5,000."
Hans really started to pack the cutlery and said, "Alright then, you go buy a new set. I'll go look for Old Phoenix. He'll definitely be interested in this set."
Kevin curled his lips in disdain and leaned against the counter to watch him pack.
After packing the cutlery, the two of them walked out.
Li Du whispered, "Big Fox, your asking price is a bit high."
Hans said, "Don't talk. He'll make us stop."
As soon as he said that, Kevin coughed and said, "Come back, you little bastard. You sly little raccoon, give me a real price."
Hans said, "Five thousand is the real price. Last time I sold you a massage chair, you sold it for 11,000. That's an easy profit of 5,000. You can still make that much money this time!"
Kevin said, "That massage chair was worth that much because I fixed it. This set of cutlery doesn't have that much profit. How about this: for the sake of my friendship with Filachi, I'll give you 2,000. "
"Then you're insulting my father's friendship with you. How about 4,500? That's more worthy of your friendship," Hans said.
"Forget it, let's not drag Filachi into this. 2,500 is not a low price."
The two sides started a tug-of-war. Li Du listened with great interest.
In the end, the price was set at 3,800. It was a good price, slightly higher than he had expected. He had thought it would be great if he could sell it for 3,000.
Old Kevin still wanted to bargain. He wanted it to be 3,600 dollars.
Hans said, "3,600 is fine. It's time for lunch. You can roast the lamb like last time …"
"Then it's still 3,800. You win, young lads." The old man heard him and immediately accepted the offer.
The storage unit bought for 300 was sold for 4,300. There were some miscellaneous items in front, and Hans sold them for 500. So the total profit was 4,300.
Old Kevin counted the cash for them and put away the cutlery. Then he said, "If there's anything good later, bring it to me."
Hans chuckled and said, "I do have some."
Old Kevin's eyes lit up again.
But when he saw the set of furniture, he shook his head. "I'm not taking this. It's not easy to sell this furniture. Go to that son of a b * tch's shop and try it."
Hans asked, "Why is it not easy to sell? I admit it's not a set, but it looks like a set, and it's of good quality. Don't you think it's great? "
"It's great, but who should I sell it to?" Old Kevin continued to shake his head.
"If I sell this thing, it'll fetch at least 5,000. But those who can afford it won't want to buy it. Those who are willing to buy it probably won't be able to pay that much."
Li Du thought this was an excuse he had made up to bargain. But Hans did not continue. He only said, "Then leave the pictures and help me see if there are any clients. Same rules, 10 percent commission."
This time, the old man did not ask them to stay.
They went to two more grocery stores and two old furniture markets. The set of furniture was still in the back of their truck.
Either they were unwilling to take it, like Old Kevin, or the price they offered was too low. The guy named Old Nix actually offered them 1,000!
After a round, the set of furniture was pulled back. Luckily, they had gained something, so Li Du was not upset.
Hans was not upset either, because he had found information about another storage auction.
