MTL - America’s Treasure King-Chapter 6 christmas 2
In the morning, the snowflakes as big as cotton **** turned into fine grains, like someone was spreading salt in the sky, and the small grains fell to the ground and made a slight noise.
Mama Xia saw that Elaine's eyes were filled with spring water, which had been moisturised; the delicate skin that was torn by blowing, she smiled knowingly, and handed over the oatmeal specially prepared for her.
After the meal, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cleaned up the house and started to prepare dinner. Li Xiaoshuai drove to the Chinese supermarket in Jersey City to pick up the ordered slices of lamb and beef.
Shabu-shabu with fat beef is Li Xiaoshuai's favorite every winter. It would be even more beautiful if it was served with fish **** and some spinach tofu. It's also his best friend Ron's favorite.
It won't be long before this guy doesn't need to rush and will come to help.
Before noon, Li Xiaoshuai received New Year's phone calls from Morgan and Erickson respectively. The meanings of the two were basically the same. After saying a few auspicious words, they wanted to acquire Li Xiaoshuai's marshal's festival and the golden edict that the Duke of Buckingham was conferred. .
How is this possible, this is Li Xiaoshuai's collection, he is also going to hide these two treasures forever, how can he easily take action. If you sell it and you want to get it back, it will be extremely difficult.
Despite their low-pitched pleas, Li Xiaoshuai remained unshakable and sternly rejected the request for a high-priced acquisition.
After lunch, the Li family was full of guests, and the old Gardner couple, who had no children and no daughters, came here every Christmas, which had become the custom of the Li family.
Although Mr. Zhao has two sons, it is a pity that one of them is in the west and the other is in Xiangjiang. There is only a Chinese part-time worker in the family. It is Christmas and they have to go home because this Li Xiaoshuai also invited him to the house.
As for the father-in-law's family, they are almost one with the Li family, and they came over by themselves with a single phone call.
Li Xiaoshuai also took out the large lobster shell he bought at a flea market in Boston and gave it to him as a Christmas present.
Such a big lobster specimen made everyone in the room exclaim that this is a very rare good thing. It is not easy for a lobster to grow so big.
It made Mr. Henry very happy. He even said that Li Xiaoshuai had a heart. It would take hundreds of years for such a big lobster to grow, and it was very rare to get this specimen.
In the afternoon, Xia Huifang also received a call from her hometown. Li Xiaoshuai saw the smile on his mother's face and nodded frequently, and knew that the video he sent yesterday was effective.
Seeing his mother beckoning to him, Li Xiaoshuai walked over, and her mother handed him the phone. He could hear his uncle's voice on the other end of the phone: "Xiaoshuai, we watched your video, we can rest assured that you are doing well.
Let me tell you, your girlfriend is so beautiful, can you bring it back together next year? We all want to see our nephew and daughter-in-law with our own eyes, and we will also give you a greeting. "
Li Xiaoshuai politely declined his uncle's kindness, saying that Elaine is very busy with work now, and she is really inseparable, and she needs to wait for the opportunity to bring her back to her hometown.
He hung up the phone here, and his own cell phone rang again. He picked it up and saw that it was the big money Ai Hua who was calling. This is business, Li Xiaoshuai attaches great importance to it, he went to the bedroom to pick it up.
On the other end of the phone, Ai Hua also greeted Merry Christmas first, and then asked Li Xiaoshuai if he had received any good antiques during this time.
Li Xiaoshuai said of course there is, and he said half-jokingly, even if you bring $2 million, you won't be able to sell all his antiques.
Ai Hua was delighted and asked, "What are you doing? Let me be happy first."
"There are jade pots and spring bottles with egg white glaze in the Yuan Dynasty, landscape paintings by Lu Yanshao, as well as the Buddha statues commemorating Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty and the matching cloisonné enamel incense burners."
"Really or not, you actually have so many good things?" Ai Hua still didn't believe it. You know, everything Li Xiaoshuai said just now is a rare treasure.
What's more, there is a Buddha statue with Chongzhen commemorative mark and a cloisonné enamel incense burner. These two pieces are produced by the palace, which is even more rare. In his memory, domestic collectors have no such good things.
Enough to show your face, enough to pull the wind.
Ai Hua: "Okay, well done, I want all these things."
Then he told Li Xiaoshuai that this year's Chinese New Year will be in early February, he plans to come in mid-January, and he will bring a friend over then.
These have been said a long time ago, not to mention that there are multiple business paths with multiple friends, and Li Xiaoshuai would refuse.
After the two agreed on a date to come back in early January, they congratulated each other on the New Year again, and then hung up the phone.
Entering the room again, I saw my uncle and brother Sean and his wife also coming.
During the veneer salute, Sean's girlfriend Ji Li hit Li Xiaoshuai twice with her chest again, as if to imply something.
It's a pity that Luo Hua is intentional; Liu Shui is ruthless. Last night, Li Xiaoshuai fought fiercely all night. It can be said that he was overwhelmed, and there is no appetite to care about the cheap goods delivered to the door.
Besides, this **** doesn't like it himself, and he is very disgusted with this kind of behavior of flirting with men in public.
After saying hello to the people present, Sean also said to Li Xiaoshuai, "Good boy, I have already bought the house with full payment, so why don't you take me on a tour?"
"Okay, Mr. Wall Street, please."
"Yeah." Sean touched the big Baotou covered with hairspray, took Ji Li's arm, and lifted his foot to the second floor. Henry and his wife said, we haven't seen the upstairs, let's go and have a look together.
Lisa: "Yes~www.novelbuddy.com~ It's time to appreciate the valuable antique furniture."
As soon as Sean and the others got to the platform on the second floor, Ji Li said, is this place decorated with rabbit country style?
Li Xiaoshuai said yes, please look inside, it is full of antique furniture from Rabbit Country, so it must be designed like this.
A group of people walked around the red sandalwood earth screen, and the rabbit country style was full in front of them. Whether it was the furniture, the gadgets displayed on the ancient shelves, or the paintings hanging on the walls, they were full of ancient meaning.
Teacher Henry also said that at first glance, this place looks like it is in the Rabbit Country area of the Metropolitan Museum.
His daughter Elaine was very proud to say that all the items here are antiques, which were picked up by Li from the warehouse auction, and the value is very huge.
"Li, to what extent can it be achieved?" Only Ji Li could ask this question.
Li Xiaoshuai said that if it is just antique furniture, if it is sold in a big auction, it is estimated that there will be no problem with three or four million dollars, and the rest will be based on quality.
"Wow, you are so rich!" Ji Li exclaimed exaggeratedly.
She also settled accounts for Li Xiaoshuai, saying that Li Xiaoshuai had allocated four million US dollars earlier, let Sean help with the finances, and paid the full amount to buy a new house. Now the antique furniture at home can be worth several million, "Then you are now thousands of dollars. A millionaire?"
"It hasn't arrived yet, it hasn't arrived yet" Li Xiaoshuai kept rejecting the rabbit country tradition.
Lisa said in her heart, Li is too humble, this is my daughter's good match, and Elaine followed him; not to mention, the family stability is certain.
She looked at Ji Li again, and she started to settle accounts for Li Xiaoshuai. Who are you, and what qualifications do you have to settle accounts for Li Xiaoshuai? Elaine hasn't done this yet. You are too self-sufficient and rude!
Still lamenting in my heart, my son, Yale University is considered a vain study.
