When Xiao Peng came to the parking lot the next day, it was just early eight o'clock, but Martin and his wife were already busy here.
They were cleaning the carriage. Xiao Peng saw that there were still a lot of waste furniture in the carriage. The Martins were putting these furniture together. It seemed that the weight of the furniture was not light, but the old couple was not lightly tired.
"Hey, Martin, leave this work to me. You guys take a break-----I said, why don't you wait for me to move these things?" Xiao Peng put his luggage aside, and jumped into the compartment. .
"Xiao, you are here. We thought that there weren't a lot of these things, so we could handle them by ourselves. Who knows that they are beyond our imagination." Mrs. Martin exclaimed, "Could you please help us to stack this cabinet on top? "
Martin said that he was tired and blushed and his neck was thick, but he did not admit that he was old: "I am not old, you are too weak. Damn, the porter I looked for last time was too lazy, so I just put it in a random manner. Waste so much space."
Xiao Peng tried the cabinet he was trying to move. The weight was indeed slightly heavier than ordinary wood, but Xiao Peng didn’t make it difficult. Martin wanted to move Xiao Peng together and signaled him to lean back and put the cabinet on the closet. , Saving a lot of space.
Mrs. Martin sighed sincerely when she saw this scene: "God, are you the reincarnated Hercules and become a Chinese?"
Hercules, translated as Hercules, is the greatest hero in Greek mythology, the child of the main Zeus and his great-granddaughter Alcmene.
Xiao Peng is unable to complain about this. After studying Greek mythology, you will find that Zeus is a "human-shaped self-propelled gun", who catches someone, and then marries all kinds of close relatives, cousins marry cousins, cousins marry cousins , The chaos makes people blush.
Hercules was hated by Zeus’s wife Hera because of her birth problem. Although Hercules Wise I completed twelve missions that were hailed as impossible and became a hero in Greek mythology, she was eventually met with her. Ra’s persecution caused him to die in pain, and after his death he ascended to the Holy Mountain of Olympus and became a Hercules. In today's Western world, the name Hercules, and another Atlas, have become synonymous with a strong man and a strong man.
Even Martin, who has muscles that do not match his age, has to admire: "My dear, I think Xiao is Atlas. Only Atlas Titan has such power. Such a heavy oak cabinet is like this. I moved easily. You can't let the silverback gorilla come, right?"
Yes, this compliment Xiao Peng doesn’t know what to say. The first half of Xiao Peng likes to hear:'Atlas', the Titan in Greek mythology, because he failed to resist Zeus, he was punished to support the sky with his shoulders. Now North Africa The Atlas Mountains are named after him. The trophy of the famous World Hercules Championship is the appearance of a person carrying the earth, and it is the Titan Atlas that carries the earth. But what is the silverback gorilla he said later?
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "You are absurd. Some people have called me Samuel, but no one has called me Hercules or Atlas. Oh, no one has called me a silverback gorilla... ... Having said that, believe me, I am not considered as powerful. If it is simple than power, I have a friend who is more powerful than me. He is the kind of sneeze that comes out of a sneeze but muscle. Kind."
After hearing this, Mrs. Martin asked curiously: "God, are you a believer too? Are not all Chinese people who are atheists and do not believe in? I heard that anyone who believes in God will be shot to death..."
Xiao Peng was taken aback, and said displeased: "Mrs. Martin, I don’t know how to explain this question. I am an atheist, but I do have registration in the church. This question is a long story. China has never interfered with other people’s freedom of belief, and it doesn’t know who can believe such nonsense! If you believe in it, you will be shot? Our China has close to 200 million Buddhists and 50 million Christians. Together, we will catch up with the population of your country. The number is there, and it is no exaggeration to say that our country has more believers than your country’s believers! How come we Chinese people who believe in God will be shot? Your country’s misunderstanding of us is really too deep. You are here. How do the media mislead the people!"
Mrs. Martin was a little confused, but seeing Xiao Peng didn't like to say it, she hurriedly asked: "Xiao, would you like to have a cup of coffee? The coffee I just made is still good.
"Thank you then, Mrs. Martin." Xiao Peng put the furniture in the carriage together. "Mr. Martin, these furnitures were found on Taobao? What kind of wood is this? It's quite heavy."
Martin handed Xiao Peng a cigarette: "Yes, this is the handmade oak furniture we found last time. This is the most popular wood furniture in our country. It is sturdy and durable. Such a set of furniture will last for decades. Not a problem, and this set of oak furniture is exquisitely made, the material is still good white oak, and regardless of whether they are second-hand furniture, such furniture is more popular in the eyes of experts, such a set sells a thousand two to fifteen thousand The dollar is not a problem."
"Wow, that's not cheap. How much did you get this for?" Xiao Peng said.
The price is very high for furniture. But Martin said, this is handmade oak furniture. In developed countries such as Europe and the Stars and Stripes, no matter what it is, the word
handmade
means that the price will be ridiculously high.
"I bought the warehouse for five hundred dollars at the time. But there is nothing else valuable in the warehouse. So I will try to sell the price higher." Martin said.
Xiao Peng heard: "Can you make hundreds of dollars in just one shot?"
Martin smiled bitterly: "If this is the case every time, I would not have been in this industry for a long time-we should now live in the luxury ocean view villa in Los Angeles on the beach. Xiao, you have to consider At this point, we are responsible for cleaning up the garbage, as well as freight, transportation, gas, etc. These are all costs, and although this storage auction is available every day, we can’t be there every day, right? Participating in a warehouse auction will take three or four days on the road. This is why I have to work part-time as a truck driver."
"Xiao, drink coffee and taste how it tastes." Mrs. Martin came over and handed Xiao Peng a cup of coffee.
Xiao Peng took the coffee: "Thank you Mrs. Martin. Didn't you say that the people who live here are all rich? Isn't there a high chance of getting good things?"
Martin was drinking coffee. Hearing Xiao Peng’s question, he scolded angrily:
These rich people are not a gadget. The richer they are, the weird they are. Yes, they will find good things here. But they often encounter some things. A weird warehouse! I once photographed a warehouse full of expired beer here! God! Who can tell me what it can do?"
Mrs. Martin also nodded: "This is not bad for us. The last time Campbell photographed a warehouse in Salinas, it turned out to be a warehouse full of designer underwear and socks. There can be thousands of them, but they all wear them. Passed! There were green hairs when I turned it out, so I don’t need to mention the smell. I really don’t know the quirks of the owner of the warehouse!"
Martin said: "This is not bad. Some people come here for a short stay for a few days, singing and dancing every day, because they are unwilling to pay too high garbage fees, so they rent a warehouse and throw the garbage in the warehouse. This can save a few U.S. dollars! What do you think this is such a thing? It doesn’t hurt to come here to spend thousands of dollars a day, but I rent a warehouse for the remaining few dollars? Isn’t this cheating us treasurers? Open the warehouse, one Look, they are all neat lockers, but when they are opened, they are all rubbish!"
"It's not bad. Last time someone photographed a warehouse in Chicago and found a box in it. After opening it, it turned out to be the body of the warehouse owner! God, the case has not been solved yet."
Listening to the broken thoughts of the two, Xiao Peng sighed. It is not easy to do anything these years. But to Xiao Peng, this is nothing. Big deal, put the idea clone in and take a look. But just think about it. After all, he doesn't know the value of the contents, does he? Maybe he thinks things that are valuable are not considered valuable by others.
Seeing Xiao Peng’s expression, the Martin couple laughed and said: "Oh, Xiao, sorry, let you listen to our complaints. In fact, it is not so terrible. Regarding storage auctions, in fact, the most terrible thing is not these, but the Taobao people. The malicious bidding between the two and the Taobao people took their own eyes. Anyway, it is better to make money than lose money, isn’t it?"
Xiao Peng sipped his coffee and smiled: "That's for sure. When will the auction start?"
Mrs. Martin said: "Today's auction only has six warehouses, so it won't be too long. It starts at ten o'clock, let's pass now. Hercules from China, if we have something to gain, we will have to work hard for you. "
Xiao Peng made a "no problem" gesture, stuffed the luggage bag on the small bed behind the cab, took out a small backpack from the inside and carried it on him, with his own money and credentials inside: "I'm ready."
Martin shook his head, and took out two cigars from the cab. Xiao Peng saw that it was not a very good cigar. Martin threw a cigar to Xiao Peng proudly: "Come on, let's go domineering! "
Xiao Peng: "..."
Mrs. Martin: "Xiao, please forgive me, my family is like a child."
Martin shook his head: "This is called dashing, my dear wife."
"Yes, you are right." Mrs. Martin.
Xiao Peng was really speechless. He was fed dog food inadvertently. Is this really good? But to be honest, Xiao Peng admires the Martins very much. They are close to 60 years old and can maintain such a good relationship. This is really true love.
