Lisco's American Life

Colorado is mainly based on mining and agriculture, and its economic strength is not outstanding in the United States, so it is not like New York and Los Angeles where there are many restaurants.

In Denver, the state capital, there is such a restaurant called Boulder. This restaurant not only provides exquisite Italian cuisine, such as quail gnocchi, etc., but also has the title of Master Sommelier. Only 149 people in the world can obtain this title.

With its extensive wine list and exquisite snacks, it has been listed in the "Top 50 American Restaurants" many times. It is also the most famous restaurant in Colorado.

You definitely need to make a reservation in advance to dine in this restaurant, but yesterday when Lisko was packing up his things, he found the business card he received last time he attended a charity party, which happened to have the contact information of the owner of this restaurant. After Lisko called to explain the situation

, and got a reply quickly.

The car stopped at the door of the restaurant. The overall decoration of the restaurant is fashionable and simple. The dark red and white signs on the exterior wall exude elegance. The logo of this restaurant is a forked branch. Lisko didn't understand the logo either.

What's the meaning?

He handed the car keys to the waiter at the door, stretched out his arm, and Meghan took it with a smile.

"Lisco, we have an appointment," he motioned to the manager who stepped forward.

"Hello, the boss has told me, please sit over here." The manager gestured respectfully.

Lisko followed him through the hall and stopped at a partition, which was surrounded by decorations in a semicircle. The location was just enough for two people to dine without being disturbed by the passing crowd.

"Thank you, do you have any recommendations from the chef today?" Liske helped Meghan open the dining chair and set the tableware.

“Today’s recommendation is the filet mignon, the special polenta for dessert, and the newly arrived tuna.”

Lisko poured a glass of water, took a sip and rinsed his mouth, "Just do this, and get me a bottle of 1995 Margaux."

The manager went down to make arrangements. Lisko raised his head and explained to Megan, "The 95-year-old red wine of Chateau Margaux is top-notch, with tangy blackberry and blackcurrant aromas, smooth and lively, and the fruity aroma is thick and delicate, just like today's wine."

Like you, it not only has the complexity of the 1986 vintage, but also has the elegance of the 1990 vintage, and Maya Winery has a history of 1,000 years.”

Meghan was amused by his compliment, "It's hard for me to imagine that you are a writer but talk like a playboy."

"It's not correct to say that," Lisko immediately retorted, "Writers all have strong emotions and can write attractive words. It doesn't mean that we are carefree. We are also very loyal to life."

After Lisko finished speaking, he pretended to be depressed, "You have some prejudice against us, which is really sad."

Megan thought Lisko was very humorous, and soon the restaurant started serving food. The exquisite steak exuded a tempting aroma. Lisko cut the steak, handed the cut pieces to Megan, and took the uncut ones from her.

That portion.

Meghan was touched by his ubiquitous concern for small details, and reached out to hold his hand, "Lisko, thank you."

In Hollywood, all you can see is betrayal, fame, fortune, and desire. She hasn't been cared for so much in a long time.

Lisko patted the back of her hand comfortingly, "Eat quickly, the steak in this restaurant is still great."

While we were eating, a man in a suit and leather shoes suddenly came over. When he saw Lisko, he started to greet him.

"Li, it's really you. I've been waiting for you in the restaurant for a long time."

Lisko recognized him as the owner of the restaurant and a literature lover. At the charity party, he took Lisko to discuss literary works for a long time. He also showed great enthusiasm when he called him to make an appointment yesterday.

"Ben, why are you here? The smell here is great. By the way, this is Megan Fox, my friend." Lisko introduced Megan to him.

"Oh~ I asked what kind of beauty would make Lisko call me to make a restaurant reservation at night. After seeing her, I found she was even better than I imagined. Hello, I am the owner of this restaurant, Ben."

Ben's exaggerated teasing made Megan a little shy, "Hello, I'm Megan."

"Li, I heard that you have finished writing your new book, right? Is it still the same type as before? When will it be released? You know, after I heard you talk about it last time, I have been thinking about the plot behind it."

Lisko didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The reminders for the manuscript were everywhere, so he had no choice but to comfort him, "Ben, I have already sent the manuscript. The publisher will release it soon. I can give you a hardcover edition."

"Really?" Ben was a little surprised. He really liked Lisko's works.

"Okay, I won't interrupt your meal with this beautiful Ms. Megan. Remember to promise me the hardcover version, Li."

Ben said goodbye in a timely manner and arranged for the manager to serve dessert after the meal.

After the sweet meal, the two of them prepared to go to the movies. There was a cinema next to the restaurant. Liske queued up to buy a large portion of Coke and popcorn.

"Meghan, what are we looking at?"

Megan looked up at the poster posted on the wall of the cinema, "I watched Pirates of the Caribbean Part 2 some time ago. Cars is a cartoon and I don't like X-Men very much. How about we watch The Da Vinci Code?"

I heard that the plot is very exciting, and it is adapted from a best-selling book. It contains many references to the church, and many of my friends think it is true."

Lisko reluctantly looked at the latest horror movie "Silent Hill" next to him. He was still a little cautious. He originally wanted to watch the frightened Megan throw herself into his arms for comfort.

"Okay, I've always wanted to take a look. Dan Brown is also an excellent writer. I've always wanted to learn the worldview of his predecessors' works."

Megan also saw Lisko's thoughts, raised her head and kissed him on the face.

"Let's go, buy your tickets, the movie is about to start."

Lisko recalled the softness just now and responded with a silly smile, "Okay, okay, come right away."

"The Da Vinci Code" is a dark horse drama that broke out in 2006. The film mainly tells the story of a murder case in the Louvre Museum that alarmed symbol expert Robert Langdon. Langdon and the deceased's granddaughter Sophie are solving the case.

As the case progresses, Langdon discovers that all the decrypted codes are hidden in Leonardo da Vinci's works.

Lisko has been a close friend of the writer Dan Brown for a long time. Dan Brown's works integrate elements of popular novels such as murder, horror, detective, decryption suspense, and pursuit romance.

He always uses high-tech knowledge and culture to fuse and conflict with ancient mysterious knowledge and culture, which has formed his unique writing habits. The narrative rhythm of his novels is always interlocking, and the many turns and surprises always keep readers guessing.

Not finished.

The film stars the popular Tom Hanks and the heroine Audrey Tautou. At the beginning, Megan was still complaining about being eliminated from the primary audition for the heroine. As the plot accelerated, she also became obsessed with Audrey.

Li's superb acting skills.

The clichéd lingering kiss between the hero and heroine in Hollywood movies that Lisko expected did not appear. Lisko breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little disappointed. The hero just kissed the heroine's forehead with restraint. From the plot point of view, this kind of kiss did not appear.

The handling is just right. There is a lot of age difference between the male and female protagonists. If it were the time of Jesus, men and women had feelings and boldly pursued freedom to break away from the old cage. Hot love is a must. Contemporary society needs mutual respect between men and women. In terms of the plot of the heroine

Being a descendant of Jesus adds a sense of inviolable deity, so the director's approach here is more appropriate.
