MTL - America’s Treasure King-Chapter 34 Dig out the old house on weekends

In the storage room, Li Xiaoshuai carefully handed the broken four-minute clock on the old cabinet into Elaine's hands, and was looking for some old clothes to pick up.

Turning his head and assigning Ron the task again, "Fatty, this antique broken clock will be handed over to you. You are responsible for fixing it, and I will give you three thousand yuan."

The fat man leaned over to Elaine's hand and looked left and right, "Okay, plus a meal, I want top steak!"

Li Xiaoshuai waved his hand and said, the four of us here are going to eat steak tonight.

"Yeah" Fatty was very happy, patted his chest and promised that this antique clock will be repaired, and it is absolutely accurate.

"This fat man can still repair antique clocks?" Frank still didn't believe it.

"Of course, when Fatty started learning mechanics, he started with antique clocks, because clocks and clocks are relatively simple, especially antique-grade ones."

"Then you will be rich. If this clock is repaired, it will sell for ten thousand or twenty thousand."

Then he muttered again, "What kind of people have I met? A rookie who is a treasure hunter has a lucky watch, and a dead fat man can repair a precision clock. It's really strange.

Li Xiaoshuai pointed to the old piano again, "Maybe this one can be repaired. If it is repaired, it can be sold for a big price. Let me see how bad this piano is and whether it can be repaired."

He crouched down to open the door of the piano box, and saw that there were only a few broken strings inside, "Yes, the skeleton is basically intact, and repairs can still be used."

As soon as she heard that her man was making money again, Elaine hugged Li Xiaoshuai and kissed him for a while, and said, "You are really capable, you are a real man."

"That's right!" This is Elaine's highest evaluation of herself, Li Xiaoshuai frankly admits that he is capable, and that he is far more capable than ordinary men.

Frank opened his eyes today. Fatty Ron did not understand the value of these antiques, but he was an expert. Although none of these things belonged to him, it did not prevent him from valuing these treasures.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, he wouldn't have believed it was true!

Generally, a treasure hunter can pick up a treasure, and it takes a few years or even a dozen years to meet for a while. Just like himself, he has been in this business for more than three years, and he has never picked up a decent one. Such antiques, not even broken ones!

Looking back at Li Xiaoshuai, picking up treasures is like picking up carrots in a supermarket. You can pick them up easily and casually. With this little effort, there are already three valuable items: ivory carvings, antique clocks, and antique pianos.

He sighed: "Li; it's too easy for you to earn money. It's also a human being. Why is it so difficult for me? It's not fair."

"Who made you a single dog?" Li Xiaoshuai put his arms around Elaine and said, "Look, this is the good woman of Wangjia Wangfu."

Single dog, this is what Li Xiaoshuai learned from Rabbit Country's website recently, and he thinks it is the most suitable for today's occasion.

"That's right!" The two of them kissed shamelessly.

Ron protested violently, saying that there are two bachelors here, and that you're always holding each other together.

Li Xiaoshuai immediately counterattacked: "Eileen, these two are pitiful and disgusting single dogs. They are only fit to work every day. You two are careful to carry the old piano away. Be careful, it's all money."

The piano was moved away, and the storage room was much empty. Li Xiaoshuai asked Elaine to take a break and tidy up the disgusting old suitcase by himself.

After a while, Li Xiaoshuai turned to the lighter in the box no matter how slow he moved. "Eileen, there's a treasure hidden here."

Elaine's eyes widened, "Ah, what else?"

Lighter, she excitedly shouted "Li; Li, we found a gold lighter!"

Li Xiaoshuai also pretended to see it for the first time, and took this heavy diesel lighter in his hand and looked at it carefully, saying, "Yes, this is a German antique during World War II."

"Antique" Elaine is stupid. How can antiques be so easy to pick up? It's easy to find antiques by rummaging through clothes.

Li Xiaoshuai also pointed to the 4D mark of ** on the lighter and showed it to her, which immediately convinced Xiao Nizi.

This scream also attracted Frank and Ron who were outside.

Seeing the thing in Elaine's hand, Frank recognized it at a glance; "Oh, this is a German lighter during World War II. It is silver and gilt, and only general-level officers are eligible to issue them."

Then he breathed a long sigh of relief, "Fortunately it's not pure gold, otherwise I'd definitely go crazy with jealousy."

"As long as it's a valuable antique, silver is not bad." Elaine was so happy, she hugged Li Xiaoshuai and gnawed wildly for a while, causing the two single dogs Ron and Frank to shake their heads.

Ron also said, "Okay, let's go home and make out, don't you see there are two bachelors in this place?"

"Hmph, you are jealous, 100% jealous." He still felt unsatisfied, gave the two single dogs a fierce look, and carefully put the gold-plated lighter in Li Xiaoshuai's pocket.

All that's left is an old wooden box.

Li Xiaoshuai packed the box himself. He packed every letter and looked at it one by one, then greeted Elaine with a smile, "Come on, let's see what it is."

"Wow, there's still a baby." This time Elaine jumped up with joy, and she shouted outside, "Fat man, Frank, you all come in, and Li found the treasure again."

Frank said, we won't come in, so as not to be provoked by you again.

I heard Elaine's voice in the room: "If they don't come in, we'll go out and show them."

Frank saw that Elaine was almost wrapped around Li Xiaoshuai's body, her face flushed with excitement.

After taking the envelope handed over by Li Xiaoshuai, Frank saw that it was full of real mailing envelopes during World War II, "There are still many such things on the market, so they are not precious."

Li Xiaoshuai: "Look at the sender's name again"

Frank read: "George Patton. Huh? It's General Patton, God, what did I see, come on Ron, help me see if I'm dazzled."

Fatty also ran over, solemnly looked at the signature on the envelope, and then looked at the date of the postmark. There were 1940, 1943, 1944, and 45 years.

"Yes, it was written by Barton himself and sent to this old man named Harry."

Frank counted, there were six letters in total, and even if a thousand dollars apiece, it would cost six thousand dollars.

In addition to the antique ivory baby elephants from Rabbit Country, the silver gilt lighters used by German officers during World War II, the current letter from General Patton, other broken pianos, and antique clocks, this is a small hundred thousand dollars.

He couldn't help but sigh; Li's luck is really good, whoever wants to auction the warehouse with him is really under a lot of pressure, and the silver-level treasure hunter Hunter competes with Li, and he is not wronged. "

The four of them had been busy until the afternoon, and finally the house was tidy up. Li Xiaoshuai stood in the courtyard and called the agent first, telling him that the house had been cleaned up and that he could come to check it tomorrow.

Then he sent a short message to Morgan, and told him that he had picked up Patton's letter today, and asked him if he wanted it.

Five minutes later, Morgan called directly. The guy's excited voice was trembling. He said that General Patton was the object of his worship since he was a child. Just meet at the restaurant last time.

"Hey Stephen, I have three more helpers here. They also want to eat steak, look..."

"No problem, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com will open another table, I will treat you. See you at the same place at six o'clock, I will reserve a table now!"

Li Xiaoshuai smiled and said to the other three, brothers have top steaks, someone will treat you in the evening, and you can enjoy a meal at an Italian restaurant on Wall Street.

Ron yelled "Oh yeah, Italian food, red wine steak pizza, I like it."

Li Xiaoshuai also warned that the guests are the descendants of the Morgan family, and you need to be polite.

"Li, you are still friends with the Morgan family. It's amazing." Ron and Frank looked at Li Xiaoshuai with admiration on their faces.

In their opinion, old American families like Morgan and DuPont, who only exist in legends and are rarely seen in ordinary times, even made friends with ordinary people like Li Xiaoshuai.

This is more surprising than Li Xiaoshuai picking up a treasure worth 100,000 US dollars today.

When they went back, Li Xiaoshuai and Elaine went by car, while Frank and Ron walked over first, and then drove to Li's house to meet and go there together.

When Li Xiaoshuai's pickup passed by Elaine's house, the car stopped for a while. Elaine got out of the car and called out to his father, asking him to see if the antique piano that Li Xiaoshuai picked up could be repaired.

Because Mr. Henry is still a generalist, he also took piano as an elective in college, and he is much more proficient in this aspect than Li Xiaoshuai.

The old man flexibly climbed into the car and looked at it, and said with certainty that it can be repaired, and the repair fee is not expensive. Leave this to me, and I'll handle it for you. Li just needs to pay.

Elaine couldn't hide her excitement, and whispered into her father's ear, "Li, I made another 100,000 yuan today, and the Morgan family wants to invite Li to dinner tonight."

Henry said with a look of relief, "Li, it won't be long before you become a respected and successful person in our community!"
