Chapter 1590: 1590. Mood Change

Li Du couldn't help laughing when he thought of the days when he was fooling around with Hans.

But thinking about not having such a life in the future, he felt a little sad again.

What makes him sad is not that he will not be accompanied by Hans, but that he will not be able to return to the past, his youth, and the age of youth.

Hans has changed a lot, why hasn't he changed a lot? After many trials, he is completely different from when he first entered the warehouse auction industry.

The change in mentality is the biggest. For him now, the fun of the storage auction is the most important. The reason why he chose to participate in this auction is because the gimmick of the offshore auction attracted him.

If there were only one or two thousand containers, then he might not be interested, and he might have flown home long ago for the Chinese New Year.

On the other hand, in the past, he used to be vengeful, whenever someone provoked him, he would find a way to deal with him severely, but now he doesn't have so much time to think about it, and often just laugh it off.

Lu Guan and Bill next to him were puzzled, the boss smiled and frowned for a while, a bit schizophrenic.

After checking in at the hotel, Li Du took a group of people to the streets for a stroll.

He received a call from his son, Chris Bell. As the leader of treasure hunters in California, the insurance company would naturally not miss him, and Bell was also invited.

In addition, there are acquaintances such as the Black Mustang, Magic Johnson, etc. In short, all the dignified people in the entire American treasure hunter circle have received invitations.

Bell called and asked, "Where have you been? When will you be in Seattle?"

Li Du smiled and said: "I just checked in, West Park Hotel, I reserved two rooms for you, and the room for the magic hand, we can chat then."

Bell whistled: "Cool, my flight just landed, and I want to inform you of something. I have some good friends here in Seattle. Are you interested in getting to know them?"

Li Du said: "Okay, when?"

"The auction will be held the day after tomorrow. Let me make an appointment tomorrow. How about we visit tomorrow afternoon?"

Li Du readily agreed that he is not short of money, what he lacks now is the resources of contacts.

Before Bell arrived, he decided to go for a walk outside.

His hotel is located in a prime location in Seattle, next to Pioneer Square, the oldest neighborhood in the city, with a unique Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style in the world.

There is a small water tower some distance away on the block, which is related to a nationally famous incident. In 1889, Pioneer Square suffered a fire.

The fire was dubbed the 'West Coast Hellfire' and it burned so fiercely that it burned twenty-five city blocks including Pioneer Square!

The block was built after the fire and is full of red bricks and tiles. There are not only ancient historical sites, but also modern entertainment venues such as coffee shops, art galleries and bars.

Because it was his first visit to the Northwest, Li Du was not familiar with the city of Seattle.

Luguan did his homework and said, "Boss, let's go to Pike Place Market, I bet you'll love it, it's awesome!"

Bill added: "Pike Place Market is really a landmark in Seattle, there are a lot of small shops, there are a lot of people who live there, old-school bohemians, trendy restaurateurs, artists, buskers and people. Craftsmen and the like, the composition of personnel is complex..."

Pike Market was born in 1907, and it has been more than 100 years old. This market is considered to be the epitome of Seattle, and it is the authentic and original concentrated essence of this market, covering everything.

It was almost evening, the sun set very early in winter, the sky darkened early, and the street lights gradually turned on.

Lu Guan took them into an alley with familiarity, passing through the alley was a bridge hole, the noise and a strange fragrance mixed with each other.

"The underground food city in Pike Place Market, boss, welcome to the largest underground food city in Northwest China!" Lu Guan turned around and opened his arms and said in an exaggerated tone.

It was dark under the bridge hole, and he walked backwards again, accidentally bumping into someone.

The opponent raised his foot aggressively to kick him, but Li Du noticed it, so he strode up and kicked the opponent's ankle, kicking him back, and said at the same time, "Hey, buddy, I'm sorry."

After being kicked to the ankle by him, the young man gasped. He curled up his legs and hopped a few times on one leg, then said angrily, "Don't you have your eyes on the horse? Fake, Fake, Fake!"

In the past, Li Du must have found a way to fight back, but now he has no such intention.

A few youths on the opposite side surrounded them with unkind faces, Brother Wolf, Brother Marklov and others pressed forward with no expression on their faces, a conflict seemed to be about to emerge.

Li Du didn't care about the attitude of the other party. He put his arm around the young man's shoulder and said with a smile: "My buddy just touched you. This is an underground food city. There are so many people. Isn't it normal to bump into each other? Right?"

While talking, he pushed the young man to a booth next to him, and then waved to other young people: "Come on, everyone, come here and have a drink together."

He took out a few US dollar bills and patted them on the booth table, and said to the boss: "Take out your good wine and give some food to my new friends."

Seeing his operation, the hostility on the faces of the young people suddenly became much less.

Originally, after a group of big men such as Brother Wolf and Mark Love appeared, they realized that their side was not superior in force, but now that Li Du gave them the opportunity to borrow the donkey from the slope, they put away their fists.

Li Du poured wine for them, raised his glass and said, "Come on, after the delicious food, you should be in a better mood, right? Drink a few glasses of good wine and eat some delicious food. How wonderful is this winter night? Wait until you're full, and your stomach will feel better." Warm and warm, and then get into the warm bed, what a night!"

A young man also raised his glass and smiled: "Yes, it was a great night, thank you for the wine, sir, I wish you a good night."

A conflict disappeared without a trace. Li Du put down his wine glass and said goodbye. Several young people also kindly introduced him to some special stalls in the food city.

Through the underground bridge hole, a wider space appeared.

Thick stone pillars, indestructible granite roofs, and rough concrete floors together support this underground world. Li Du looked around and saw the bustling stream of people and stalls one after another.

Crowds and stalls appear in every corner. There are dining cars, tables, chairs, and stoves around the stone pillars. There are large exhaust fans on the ceiling, which continuously suck away the dirty air from the underground and inject fresh air from outside.

Compared with the cold world outside, the underground food city is quite warm, and the smell of food is everywhere, as if it is a safe haven in winter.
