Lisco's American Life

"Senior brother and I are very close. We are friends. It doesn't matter if we help each other."

Jacob here has already taken out the contract he prepared. Once the amount is filled in, it's done. This is a two-year contract.

Lisko took it over and flipped through it. It was a very ordinary rental contract.

Passed it to Zhang Li, Zhang Li hesitated again and again, but did not refuse Li Sko's kindness and filled in his name.

Zhang Li put away his luggage and followed Li Ke downstairs to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.

The two walked into the Denver campus.

As a first-tier national university in the United States, the University of Denver is best known for its inclusiveness. It has more than 1,200 students, 54% of whom are girls and 46% of whom are boys. The composition of the students is also very diverse.

In addition to coming from all 50 states in the United States, they also come from more than 100 countries around the world. Lisko has just seen students from Northern Europe, British, and Asians.

The entire university covers an area of ​​800 acres, and the campus environment is also very beautiful. Deep red is the main color, paired with the abundant sunshine, blue sky and white clouds unique to high-altitude cities in the United States, and the Rocky Mountains in the distance. Denver is a famous ski resort in the United States.

, the surrounding high-altitude mountainous areas are covered with snow almost all year round. The continuous snow-capped mountains in the distance that can be seen from the campus add a unique charm to the campus.

Moreover, Lisko has seen several groups of security personnel and campus police patrolling the college, so safety can still be guaranteed.

"It's great here." Lisko looked at the bustling students and expressed his sincere admiration.

"It's not bad." Zhang Li was filled with joy thinking that he would spend two years on this beautiful campus.

"Let's go, let's buy something, and I'll treat you to hot pot." Zhang Li looked at Li Sco.

"Hot pot?" A picture immediately appeared in Liske's mind, and at the same time, saliva secreted from his mouth like crazy.

"Yes, when I came here, my mother packed me a few bags of Chongqing hot pot base."

"Let's go, let's go." Lisko couldn't remember how long it had been since he had hot pot.

There are several Asian supermarkets near the university, such as Pacific Supermarket, which has a full range of seasonings, fresh vegetables, pots and pans. There is also a large Korean supermarket, H-Mart, here

You can also buy everything you need for daily cooking. There are restaurants of various cuisines in Denver, such as: Cantonese barbecue, Taiwanese, Sichuan, Vietnamese noodles, Japanese sushi, Korean barbecue, etc.

Li Ke pushed the shopping cart and followed Zhang Li, watching her put it in the car and mumbling at the same time.

"Wow, an egg is 9 cents. A chicken leg is a few cents. A pound of rice is 0.42 yuan. Purified water, 24 bottles are priced at 3.99 yuan, each bottle is 0.166 yuan. Piglet knuckles are one or two yuan per pound, and a whole roast chicken is

It’s only $4.99. It’s so cheap here.”

Zhang Li couldn't help but exclaim. She is not the kind of delicate girl who keeps her fingers wet. When she was at home and at school, she often visited the vegetable market, so she was familiar with the general prices.

So the prices in American supermarkets really frightened her. She didn't expect meat here to be so cheap.

So I kept putting it in the car, feeling like I was panic buying.

"Stop taking it." Lisko stopped her, dumbfounded.

"We can't eat so much, it will go bad, and the price won't change much. You can buy it next time if you need it."

"Okay," Zhang Li looked back and realized that he had already filled a car.

Reluctantly putting some extra things back, Lisko helped, taking five boxes of eggs alone, with 16 in each box.

Pork bones, beef, mutton, broccoli, small octopus, garlic, seasonings, and tripe.

The hairy tripe is the most expensive here, with a serving of hairy tripe costing more than 20 US dollars.

I also bought drinks, a six-pack of Coke was only $2.49.

Zhang Li seemed to have aroused his desire to shop. He looked at the price of everything he saw, then exclaimed, picked it up and put it in the car.

Keep repeating this process.

It wasn't until she finished buying the toiletries she needed that she reluctantly walked out of the shopping area.

The two people carried the packed shopping bags and transported them back and forth several times before taking everything upstairs.

Li Ke collapsed on the sofa and didn't want to move, but Zhang Li kept putting the drinks and food he bought in the refrigerator, put on the apron he just bought, and tied up his hair.

"Okay, you have a rest, I'm going to cook."

"Let me help you," Lisko certainly would not miss this opportunity to gain favor and jumped up from the sofa.

"Can you?" Zhang Li looked at him suspiciously, with disbelief in his eyes.

She knew that Li Ke could eat hot pot, and the two of them had also talked about Chinese food, but she didn't believe that he knew how to cook it.

"Don't underestimate me, I can mix the sauce."

"Then you give it a try." Zhang Li looked at Lisko running into the kitchen with a smile on his face, and shook his head speechlessly.

Considering that I have to cook frequently, I just bought pots and kitchen utensils in the supermarket.

Zhang Li blanched the pig bones, skimmed off the blood foam, picked them up, put them in another pot, added seasonings, and boiled them over the fire.

Lisko here cut the beef and mutton into slices, put them on the plate, washed the tripe, baby octopus and vegetables, and put them all on the plate.

Chop garlic, chili, chopped green onion, and coriander into pieces, add seasonings and mix with the sesame sauce Zhang Li specially bought.

"Look, how is it?" Li Ke took the sauce he had made and asked Zhang Li enthusiastically to take credit.

"Okay, you're a pretty good foreigner." Zhang Li was surprised that Li Sco's skills were good.

Lisko smiled mysteriously, took the arranged dishes, and went to the restaurant.

Soon, the pork bone soup was ready. Zhang Li took out the pot and took out the induction cooker he had prepared.

"It smells so good." Liske's mouth watered as he smelled the aroma in the air.

"It's not ready yet." Zhang Li said coquettishly, slapping his hand away as he tried to grab a piece of it.

Opening the hot pot base ingredients brought from China, pouring them into the pork bone soup, the pork bones were stir-fried by Zhang Li.

"Gudududu." The water boiled quickly, and Lisko placed the dishes and chopsticks.

"That's it," Zhang Li opened the Coke and put it on the table for Lisko opposite.

"Can I have a piece of meat first?" Lisko kept looking at the large tube bones protruding from the red soup.

"Okay, let's eat." Zhang Li looked at him looking like a greedy man who was about to get into the pot, and replied angrily.

Lisko received permission, and as if he was starving, he picked up a piece of pork bone, dipped it in the sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hmm~" This long-lost taste really made him want to cry with happiness.

In his previous life, his favorite food was hot pot. After a busy day at work, he was the happiest time of the day when he cooked hot pot and drank beer at a food stall with his colleagues and friends.

Now in the United States, he hasn't had hot pot in an unknown amount of time. Looking at Zhang Li across from him, he really felt like he was in a previous life.

"What are you looking at?" Li Sike's gaze annoyed Zhang Li, and she glared at him pretending to be fierce.

"No. Your craftsmanship is great, completely beyond my expectation."

After receiving the praise, Zhang Li also started to smile and put a few pieces of cooked ribs into Li Sike's bowl.

"Looking at your ignorant look, many of my friends around me cook better than me."
