295. Encounter with compatriots
Qin Shiou did what he said, since he had promised to join the basketball team in the town, he could not miss the appointment.
Moreover, he was a little bored even if he went out to sea all day, so he was a little bored, so it was good to play basketball.
There is no training hall for farewell to the town, and the basketball team is practicing on the street basketball court.
At noon, the sun was fierce and the basketball court was empty. Hughes was shirtless but he was having fun. Qin Shiou casually dunked a basket and thought it was too sunny, so he ran to Hughes' grocery store to check the door.
Qin Shiou had no problem with his vision. Although there were only two groups of customers in China, the sales of this grocery store were no longer low, especially American ginseng, which sold the best.
When Hughes bought these American ginseng at the Rocky Mountain Sioux tribe, one sold for only ten to one hundred yuan and was sold in a grocery store, and the other sold for five hundred to five thousand yuan, without bargaining.
In addition, the Sioux statues and various furs were sold very well. The fur fur materials were sold out by the girls. Zhong Chuchu bought five sets of snow fox fur and two sets of mink fur at that time.
Hughes himself is also quite smart. He added a business, which is to rent bows and arrows and spears.
He bought the ordinary longbows and short bows handmade by people in the town and carved them with Indian style patterns, letters, etc., and they also claimed to be the Indian Sioux people for hunting. The archers have poor feel and poor accuracy, but each one has a good rent, so tourists are still happy.
Shortly after Qin Shiou entered the grocery store, a small group of three of them came in. When he saw Qin Shiou, the couple was stunned and asked, "Where is the boss?"
Subconsciously, they all spoke Chinese and thought Qin Shiou was also a tourist.
Qin Shiou smiled and explained that the boss was his friend and played basketball on the street, and he was an immigrant here.
The couple introduced themselves. The man was a small business owner and the woman was a housewife. Her daughter was six years old and had just entered the first grade of elementary school. She took advantage of the summer vacation to travel abroad.
"I heard that this newly opened line is very good, not only the scenery is good, but also fishing, fishing, hunting up the mountain, sailing out of the sea, etc. We came. As a result, this town is really good and the people are very good, without any induced consumption or compulsory consumption." The man named Li Delong said with a smile.
The little girl looked at Qin Shiou curiously and asked, "Are you Chinese too, uncle?"
Qin Shiou nodded and smiled, "Yes, uncle is also a Chinese, and he lives here now."
The little girl nodded sweetly, sighed a little, and said, "It would be great if I could live here, there were so many small animals. I also met a deer yesterday. The most important thing is that I don't want to go back to school."
Qin Shiou was amused by her and said, "That's not possible. You have to go to school well. Your uncle just studied well. Later, he stayed at the university here. If you study well in the future, you can still get into the university here."
The little girl was very disappointed and pouted, "Ah? There are schools here too?"
Li Delong handed Qin Shiou cigarettes, and the latter shook his head. He put them in his mouth and asked, "Can you smoke?"
"It's okay. You can smoke in every place in the farewell town, there is not so much attention here." Qin Shiou said.
Li Delong lit a smoke ring and said, "That's good. After we arrived, a very beautiful tour guide told us that there are no other taboos except for not littering. This is much better than those travel routes in Bali and Hawaii. It's not about going on vacation or going to prison. This cannot be done, it cannot be touched, it's boring!"
"You just smoke less cigarettes." The young woman who had been watching the statue curiously and said, "The young woman who had been watching the animal's fur all turned around and said.
Li Delong smiled and hid beside Qin Shiou and continued to suck.
Qin Shiou saw the little girl staring at a small bobtail cat specimen, so she took it and handed it to her for her to play with. Li Delong asked, "How much does this cost?"
Qin Shiou looked at the label behind, grinned quietly in his heart, and said, "Five hundred and fifty yuan."
This little bobtail specimen was made by the Sioux people who caught the bobtail and hollowed out the meat and ate it. The remaining fur was stuffed into cotton and sewed it. The eyes were replaced with plastic beads, which was a doll. However, the Sioux people had good skills and the little bobtail repairs were vivid and were not comparable to ordinary toys.
Those who can travel abroad are rich people. To put it in a similar manner, the price of this kitten is more than 2,000 yuan. As a result, Li Delong took it over and looked at it, and found that it was a real beast skin, so he paid for it to buy it.
Qin Shiou said: "A fellow villager doesn't need a fraction of the money, 500 yuan is OK."
He remembered that many of these specimens were given for free by the Sioux people because they sewed them when they were bored. Most of the specimens were used for specimens, which were useless animals, so in the eyes of the Sioux people, this thing was not worth much.
Qin Shiou felt that the money was not very at ease. Later, Li Delong and his family bought two more American ginseng trees and were about to leave. He took out a pipe wood carving and handed it to Li Delong, saying, "I will give it to you, keep it as a souvenir."
Li Delong accepted it, handed him a business card, and said, "Thank you, little brother, if you go to Kyoto another day, I will treat you to a meal."
The weather became colder in the afternoon, and Hughes and others came out to train in jerseys, and Qin Shiou ran out.
Hughes explained to him that the summer league is an amateur game, so each game is not divided into four quarters and 48 minutes, but two halves, each with 20 minutes. The team is equipped with five starters and three substitutes.
When he arrived at the basketball court, Hughes introduced Qin Shiou. Except for the three of them, the remaining five were:
The descendants of German immigrants, big center Guderian Barbick, repair shop owner, strong power forward Johnson Zad, Grant elementary school physical education teacher Harlen Lawrence, geography teacher Mark Willy, and another college student from St. Johns, named Gordon Clyde.
For amateur teams, training is relatively simple, which means that everyone understands each other's habits and works together, and finds some tacit understanding.
Except for Hughes, Qin Shiou, the other teams, didn't know much about the style of playing. Hughes was a little worried and said, "Qin, try to communicate with us as much as possible. We must know you more, otherwise it will be difficult to play in the next game."
Hughes smiled and said, "Qin's style of football is very easy to understand. That is, I will give the ball to him and he will solve the score. You can just pull it out and play it yourself."
The others laughed, thinking that Hughes was joking.
But soon, they couldn't laugh.
Half the basketball court was distributed to the court, and Hughes passed the ball to Qin Shiou. He got the ball outside the three-point line. Facing Lawrence's defense, his shoulders swung quickly to change hands.
Lawrence was stunned. Qin Shiou immediately shot out like an arrow from the string. No one could react and no one could make up for the defense. Qin Shiou rushed into the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand and soared into the air. He swung his arm like a battle axe, and smashed the ball into the ring with a loud bang.
When he attacked again, Lawrence defended closely, and Qin Shiou hit him back. Lawrence couldn't bear the power and felt like he had been crushed by a car. He couldn't help but retreat.
With space, Qin Shiou attacked again, rushed to the basket and faced Johnson who came up with a backup defense. After jumping up, he threw and hit.
It was still Qin Shiou's ball. Lawrence didn't dare to get too close, so he let go of him and specifically prevent him from breaking through. Qin Shiou smiled slightly, pulled his feet up, raised his arms flat, shook his wrist softly, and pulled out the jump shot!
"Swish", with a crisp sound, the basketball got into the Nets obediently.
Hughes shrugged and said, "Does it still need to continue to work together?" (To be continued)
