Chapter 287 Could he be a descendant of the God of Wealth?
The boss lady’s cooking skills are really good, especially the air-dried pork face, which has a very unique flavor.
It was a rare opportunity for Lu Youyou to have such a relaxing time after arriving in the United States. On a sunny afternoon, she drank coffee and leisurely watched the passers-by.
"Girls, Ms. Fonda is back."
The old man pointed across the street and saw a gray-haired old lady pushing a small cart.
Ms. Fonda looks very old, but she is in good spirits, especially her clothes, which are quite ahead of the times.
Song Yunqing's eyes brightened up several shades, as if she had unexpectedly found a close friend. Then she looked at their outfits today and realized that they were quite similar.
"Thank you. We'll go over first." Lu Youyou and the old man thanked him.
The old man still held his pipe in his mouth and waved with a smile.
"Hello, ma'am."
Helen Fonda was a little surprised to see two strange young girls, but she still responded kindly.
"Hello, what can I do for you? Would you like to come to my house and have a seat? My house is just in front."
Lu Youyou was surprised by Ms. Fonda's enthusiasm, and the surprise came so suddenly.
"Will it bother you too much?"
Ms. Fonda smiled and shook her head: "It's rare for me to have guests at home. I should thank you young people for being willing to sit with me."
Song Yunqing was also prepared to use the art of coaxing old people that she had mastered from her grandfather if things didn't go smoothly, but in the end she didn't even have the chance to help.
However, her outgoing skills were fully utilized, and the short journey home was enough to make the old lady smile widely.
The garden in the photo is not as good as the real thing. Only when you are in it will you know how much thought the owner has put into it.
“It’s so beautiful here!”
Lu Youyou's admiration made the old lady smile even more deeply. She introduced the scenery in the garden like a treasure, and Lu Youyou also saw the three animal heads as she wished.
There are no anti-theft glass covers, no exclusive lights, and no detailed introduction to the cultural relics. The three red copper animal heads are just placed in the garden. I don’t know how long they have been there, and they are full of traces of time.
Noticing Lu Youyou's gaze, the old lady walked over and touched the lines on the cow's horns.
"I found this at a flea market 20 years ago. It just happened to match the scenery in the garden, so I bought it. So many years have passed..."
The old lady seemed to be lost in her memories, and it took her a while to come back to her senses: "Sorry, I was thinking about my youth."
There were wooden tables and rattan chairs in the garden. She brought them over and said, "Come sit over here. Would you like something to drink? Flower tea, please?"
"All right, thank you."
When the old lady turned around and went back into the house, Song Yunqing approached and asked in a low voice, "Sister Lu, do you want this?"
When Lu Youyou was staring at the animal heads, Song Yunqing realized that these black things were probably the purpose of their visit.
How can I start talking about this old thing which is only twenty years old?
Lu Youyou did not hide it: "Yes, I want to buy it back."
Song Yunqing didn't ask the reason, but fireworks had already started going off in her heart. She had full faith in Lu Youyou's eyesight and good luck, and knew that these three metal lumps must be treasures.
She was not envious, nor jealous, she was just simply excited.
Even a lady worth hundreds of millions of dollars could not resist the pleasure of finding a diamond-studded gold needle in a haystack.
She could no longer see the ox head or the tiger head, her sight was completely occupied by Lu Youyou, whose fiery gaze made people laugh.
"What are you looking at me for?"
"You look so beautiful. I feel like your whole body is glowing with gold. Sister Lu, are you a descendant of the God of Wealth?"
Lu Youyou chuckled: "How is that possible? The God of Wealth's last name is not Lu!"
"Maybe there are many gods of wealth in heaven, and one of them is named Lu. You must be his biological daughter!"
Many people have praised Lu Youyou as the reincarnation of Wenquxing, but this is the first time in her life that someone has said that she is a descendant of the God of Wealth.
Well, the God of Wealth is the God of Wealth. She also feels that she has good fortune. Maybe she has been blessed by the God of Wealth.
"This is jasmine tea, made from jasmine flowers from my garden, try it!"
Ms. Fonda came over with a tea tray, poured two cups herself, and looked at the two of them expectantly.
“Wow, it smells so good!”
“It’s delicious, thank you!”
A simple compliment can make the old lady laugh out loud, and the host’s greatest joy is if the guests like the food.
"What's the matter that brought you here to see me?"
Two strange young girls came to visit, definitely not because they were tired and wanted to take a rest.
The old lady was open-minded and had a good impression of the two men, so she just asked directly.
Lu Youyou pondered for a moment and decided to be direct. She took out the black and white photo and handed it over.
"I got this photo by chance and really liked the three bronze statues in it. After asking around, I found out that this was your home, so I came here to take a look."
Ms. Fonda studied the photo, her fingers running over the familiar figure.
"This is old Johnson. He came to see me two years ago. The old man in the fishing tackle shop helped take this photo."
The old lady was a little sad: "It's a pity that he has passed away. The funeral was in his hometown in France, which is too far away. I couldn't see him off for the last time..."
“Perhaps this photo is destined by fate, bringing old friends together again.”
After hearing what Lu Youyou said, Ms. Fonda's mouth corners finally curled up.
"Yeah, I didn't expect to see this photo in my lifetime. Thank you, little girl!"
Song Yunqing looked left and right, wondering if this was a hope or not. What if the old lady missed her friend so much that she didn’t want to sell it?
Ms. Fonda walked to the nearest horse head and waved with a smile: "If you like it, come and have a look."
Lu Youyou walked over, and when her fingers finally touched the skin of the national treasure, her mind went blank for a moment, as if her soul was trembling deep in it.
She had to bring them back!
"Ms. Fonda, can I buy them?"
The old lady was surprised and said, "These are just worthless craft leathers, and they are already very old. You..."
"I liked it the first time I saw the photo, and I liked it even more after seeing it in person, so I took the liberty of asking you to buy it."
The old lady seemed to have never expected that someone would come all the way to her just for a photo.
The love in Lu Youyou's eyes was so strong that it gave her a strong sense of familiarity.
Just like when she was taking care of the garden, Fonda loved gardening since she was a child. She felt happy from the bottom of her heart as long as she was with flowers and plants.
"You can if you want, but..."
It only cost a few hundred dollars when I bought it, but after being left in the yard for so many years and being exposed to wind and rain, the bronze statue has many marks on it, and the old lady doesn't know what price to sell it for.
Seeing that the old lady's attitude had softened, Lu Youyou finally felt relieved and thought that as long as it could be sold, it would be fine.
"Each statue is $1,000, so three statues are $3,000 in total. Is that okay with you?"
The old lady opened her mouth and didn't say anything for a long time.
Is this... too much?
