Lisco's American Life

"By the way, do you already know each other?" Haas looked at Ada who shook her head and quickly introduced her.

"This is my junior brother, my mentor's most proud disciple, the most promising young writer in the United States to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, and my closest friend, Lisko. He now lives in Garrison, Greater Schenck District.

It’s a rancher, we can visit them as guests next time.”

Seeing Ada look over, Lisko waved hello quickly.

After Haas finished speaking, he turned around and introduced Lisko.

"This is my girlfriend, my lover, Ada, a painter. We met in a gallery. She is the most famous young female writer in Romania. Her works are full of creativity. We are inspired by each other's talents and artistic accomplishments.

We are attracted to each other, and we have been together for half a month now, so I invite you to come over and introduce me."

Lisko also stood up and greeted her.

Seeing Ada smiling at Haas bragging without refuting, Lisko felt that the two of them were a good match. Only complementary relationships are long-lasting. If two people with the same personality are together, there will definitely be a lot of problems in life.

contradiction.

If Ada can tolerate Haas's wild ideas and unreliable living habits, she will definitely be able to get to the end with him.

Lisko was also happy for his old bachelor brother. He had always been a clumsy person in relationships, and his success with women depended on showing off his identity as a writer at banquets to attract people.

Logically speaking, Haas writes romance novels and should be very good at it. But on the contrary, he is a verbal giant who can often write about the emotions of the heroes and heroines in his novels vividly and vividly, with ups and downs that make people laugh.

It attracts all female readers to cry and cheer for the plot.

But he always seemed very clumsy when dating his girlfriend.

Lisko never understood why.

It wasn't until there was a gathering that a senior brother solved Lisko's question.

"Haas knows everything, but he writes about the love in his world so beautifully and purely. He gives all women a flawless love dream, but there is no such feeling in real life, so he

That’s why he doesn’t know how to fall in love and seems incompatible with all women, because the heroine in his novels doesn’t exist at all.”

From then on, Lisko admired this fat and heartless senior brother and his relationship with him became better and better.

"Come on, have a try, I cook Eastern European dishes," Ada greeted the two of them and started eating.

Haas opened the bottle of fruit wine. Ada's eyes lit up when she saw this. She could see that he was also a person who knew how to live.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Vienna grilled ribs, ribs, roasted potatoes, salad and dipping sauce. It is the best Western food in Eastern Europe."

"This is Czech roast duck. The whole duck is roasted in the oven and served with sweet and sour cabbage and steamed bun slices. It's delicious,"

"This cake is very famous throughout Europe. Karlovy Vary Hot Spring Cake. There are 17 springs in Karlovy Vary. This cake is made from the eighth spring. It contains more than 40 kinds of rich minerals. The cake is baked thin and crispy.

It’s crispy, with sweet fillings sandwiched between the two slices of cake, and tastes similar to flan. This is a souvenir I brought back to Eastern Europe some time ago, and it’s a very good food.”

"And this, dumplings."

"Huh? What do you mean this is? Dumplings?" Lisko looked at the food in front of him and couldn't relate it to dumplings.

He has eaten dumplings from China, Korea, Russia, India, Mexico, Hungary, Japan, and Kazakhstan. He has tried all kinds of dumplings, but at least other people's dumplings are strange, they are also filled with meat.

Yes, it's not the same as this one. No matter how stupid Lisko is, he can still tell that this is a Chinese steamed bun slice.

"You misunderstood. This is whole wheat flour, eggs, milk, fermented and cooked in hot water. We call it Dumpling over there." Ada explained with a smile.

Only then did Lisko understand. It turns out that in the Czech Republic, all flour-based foods are called Knedliky, which translates into English as dumplings.

There is another dish at the back, roasted pork knuckles. Lisko has heard of this dish. A senior brother told it at a banquet. The pork knuckles are marinated and then grilled by the chef over a wood fire. The skin is golden and the rich flavor is revealed.

It's orange-red, and the whole body is shining with crystal oil. The thick pig skin has distinct layers. The outermost layer is about half a millimeter, which is the part that is in direct contact with the fire, but it is not burnt or burnt at all, and is crispy and chewy.

But today it seems that the conditions are not enough. This one was made in an oven. It is not as exciting as the legend says, but it is still suitable for Lisko's appetite.

After eating something, Lisko started talking.

"Brother, how did you two fall in love?"

"Didn't I say it? In the gallery."

Haas replied.

"Oh, I'm asking you how we got together." Lisko asked with a bit of gossip.

"We met several times and left each other's contact information. Finally, I spoke." Ada shook the wine glass, and the golden gin was swirling in the glass.

"Wow, senior brother, you are a bit weak." Lisko's eyes were full of disgust.

"By the way, Ada," the conversation started to take everyone at the table into consideration, and Lisko also started chatting with Ada.

"You have a great wine in Eastern Europe called botrytis wine, right?"

Lisko thought of a kind of wine he had heard about. The birth of this kind of wine was a complete accident, and it turned out to be a famous wine in the eyes of many people.

"Yes, noble rot wine makes life more meaningful." Ada answered.

This sentence is a promotional slogan for botrytis wine and is very famous in Eastern Europe.

Speaking of noble rot wine, its birth was really accidental. One year, the grapes were harvested too late, and the grapes infected by "noble rot" were in a semi-rotted and shriveled state. Usually people could only abandon them.

But a Hungarian fruit farmer named Tokaj used it to brew a sweet wine with an unusual taste.

Tokaj botrytis wine is called "imperial wine" because of its quality that cannot be matched by other countries. This high praise can be imagined from its delicious taste.

Botrytis wine needs to be selected one by one, and sometimes a grapevine may only produce one glass of botrytis wine, which is especially precious. Moreover, the longer this wine is kept, the more delicious and golden it will be, and its color will also become more

Rich, it is often said to have the color of topaz, transparent and golden.

Lisko never had the chance to taste it, but he always remembered it.

"Then Ada, next time you go back to Eastern Europe, can you bring some for me? I want to collect some of this unique type of wine." Lisko told Ada his request.

"It doesn't matter, this kind of wine is easy to buy in Eastern Europe, and my brother is a wine seller. I will send him an email later and ask him to mail some." Ada also has a very cheerful personality and agreed readily.
