77. A cup of ginger soup

The Ceramic Art Museum is naturally willing to buy these animal models.

So, a bidding war broke out again. Luci Payne was sent to bargain. When he met Hans, he was really touching the horns. Payne paid 40,000 yuan. Hans opened his mouth and asked for 100,000 yuan, and then the two sides started a fierce battle.

After Hans offered an outrageous price of 100,000, and Penn did not take his two colleagues away, Li Du knew that this thing would definitely be sold.

Sure enough, the final price reached 61,000 yuan, Payne nodded and accepted: "Although this is a bit high, we should respect the artwork itself, and we are willing to accept this price."

Hans immediately changed his previous businessman's face. He stretched out his hand and slapped Penn, laughing and said, "Thank you for your understanding, brother, may God bless you, and I'm glad to see you buy these works of art."

Payne also laughed: "Thank you too for finding these toys and pottery. We know that Cohen has been to Humphreys Town, but he didn't expect that he would leave such treasures there."

Everyone started to put the ceramics in a cardboard box for storage. Payne and others drove a Toyota Highlander and had to hire a car to transport the ceramics.

Just so happened that Hans' car was repaired and sent over. He said happily: "Why spend money to hire a car? Let's go, I'll send it to you, but when you arrive at Phoenix, you have to treat me to a cold beer."

Payne patted his shoulder and said, "Good man, the ice beer is ready, and the delicious food you will love."

"Then what are we waiting for? It's so damn hot this day. I can't wait to enjoy the cold beer."

Sixty-one thousand yuan, one thousand yuan was used as repair fee, and sixty-one thousand yuan was given to Li Du's 60,000 yuan.

When Hans went to deliver the goods, Mr. Li was fine. At noon at the end of March, the flagpole market was really hot, and it seemed to be raining. The weather was very stuffy and clouds were brewing in the distance.

He had nothing to do, but when he went back, he saw that the market was selling Mexican black plums, so he bought some and went back to make sour plum juice to drink.

It's very easy to boil this. He bought rock sugar, dried hawthorn and osmanthus, put it in the pot and stew it over high heat, then turn it over low heat to simmer.

After cooking for an hour, the black plum and hawthorn were cooked into residue. He poured it out and filtered it with gauze. The rest was purple-black sour plum juice.

After the cold naturally, he tasted it. It tasted sour and sweet, but unfortunately it lacked some licorice, otherwise it would not only relieve the heat but also moisten the throat.

At this time, the weather became more and more stuffy, and the clouds had already covered the sun. It was estimated that another spring rain was about to come.

Sour plum juice needs to be iced to taste good. Rose has no ice maker here, so Li Du had to put the sour plum juice in the refrigerator. At the same time, he found a plastic bowl and artificially made ice cubes in the freezer.

In the evening, with a muffled thunder, the sky seemed to have a faucet turned on, and it started to rain heavily.

Ah Miao was startled when she heard the muffled thunder, and started jumping up and down the room with her tail stomped in.

Li Du hurried over to comfort it: "Come on, come on, Ah Miao comes to her father's arms, don't get into the sand, come over quickly, if you hug you, dad won't be afraid."

Ah Miao got into his arms, arched his head into his crotch, and arched it inside to seek a sense of security.

Mr. Li was so amused that he took it out and covered it in his arms and said, "Okay, okay, the inside of his father's crotch is more scary than the outside. Wouldn't it be nice to lie in his father's arms honestly?"

The sound of the key opening the door sounded, and Rose walked in angrily.

She was so embarrassed at this moment, her head and clothes were wet, and for some reason she also wore an O-L uniform, with a white shirt and a black hip-covered skirt pressing against her body, showing her slender and graceful figure to the fullest.

Li Du stared at her eyes widened, and then shook her head regretfully. The shirt was too thick and he could see nothing.

Rose is worthy of being a policeman and feels very sharp. He glanced at him twice. Rose immediately scolded, "What are you looking at? She shook her head. Now I suspect that you have taken the shaking pill, be honest with me!"

Li Du curled his lips and didn't know her. Now he knew that the landlord was a tomboy, or the kind of aunt who came every day. He was picking his nose and looking straight every day, and he didn't have a good time to be angry.

After entering the house, Rose kicked off her high heels, and her black stockings were wet with water and became translucent. She stepped on the floor with her little feet, and each foot was a watermark.

Seeing this, Mr. Li had a reason to fight back: "I shook my head because you were going to trouble me. Look, the floor is so wet and you don't do housework, don't I have to clean it up?"

Rose snorted and bent down to take off her black stockings, but she didn't do that when she saw Li Du in the living room, put on her slippers and went to the refrigerator to find a drink.

When she saw the sour plum juice, she was stunned: "Where did you buy it? There are ice cubes, it seems you are enjoying it."

"What to buy, I cook it myself." Li Du came over and turned off the refrigerator, cut some minced ginger, mixed brown sugar and rinsed it with hot water.

When Rose saw him pushing the refrigerator door, she said disdainfully: "Do you really drink your sour plum juice?"

Li Du handed her brown sugar ginger water and said, "Please, ma'am, I don't want you to drink sour plum juice, but you drink iced things just after getting wet in the rain? Are your stomach and immune systems iron-clad? Drink some hot water."

Rose held the cup and wanted to retort, but opened her mouth and didn't say anything, and started drinking silently.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Li Du said, "Do you want to change your clothes? Be careful of a cold."

Rose said hard: "I am not a lady in the boudoir. I am not that delicate. I don't need to change my clothes. I will have to be on the police later. If I change into new clothes, I will get wet."

Li Du said in shock: "If you go to the police like this, you American police comrades are really dedicated."

Hearing the teasing in his tone, Rose glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "We have been doing our best to do our duty. This time we are going to search for two robbers. They robbed a jewelry store in La. Someone saw two in the neighborhood this morning. We need to arrest them as soon as possible."

Li Du said: "Then go into the house and search for it."

Rose said in frustration: "No, we don't have a court-signed warrant because the witnesses are not completely sure of their identities."

"What are you doing when you dress like this?"

"Pretend to be a banking salesman, knock on the door and look for their traces."

Li Du said: "This is really a stupid action. Who made it? How can the salesman still work if it rains so heavily? There is obviously something wrong with it!"

Rose's reaction was calm about this question: "But there is no better way. Their existence is a threat to community security, and we must arrest them as soon as possible."

At this time, her cell phone rang, and a loud female voice rang out after it was connected: "Hi, Rose, have you changed your aunt's towel? It will rain harder at night, we must find those bitches in the afternoon!"

Rose's face turned red, she put down her cup and hurried out.
