Lisco's American Life

"Here, let's first guess what kind of coffee this is."

Joyce handed over a glass, and Lisko took it and smelled it in the hot air.

The aroma is rich, and you can also smell a lemon-like fruit smell.

"Honduras?"

Lisko expressed his guess uncertainly.

"Awesome, yes, this is Honduran coffee, this is my favorite."

Joyce saw that Lisko had guessed it and gave him a thumbs up.

Honduras is one of the important coffee origin countries in Central America. At an online green bean auction, an international buyer bought coffee beans produced in the Mi Esperanza plantation for a record-breaking unit price of US$35.1 per pound.

It has a long history. In 1804, this kind of coffee was sought after by the upper class, and mocha coffee became the most popular variety.

Among the top ten coffee beans in the world, Honduran coffee beans rank third, and the well-known coffee brand Jamaica Blue Mountain ranks fifth.

Because the production is rare, it has been spread among the upper class.

Li Ke took a sip. It had a rich and mellow taste, soft and not astringent, sour and slightly sweet in the mouth, with a rich and unique aroma. The aftertaste was sour and sweet, showing a strong lemon flavor, which was balanced by the sweetness of caramel.

With a distinct fruit flavor.

"Great." Lisko put down the cup. It was his first time to taste this kind of coffee. He had only heard about it before. He just guessed the variety, but he was completely confused, because this kind of coffee is most liked by the president of this university.

, the principal of his alma mater likes to drink this.

"Do you have any new works recently? You are a prolific writer."

Joyce asked Lisko gossiping. To be honest, he was also a fan of Lisko's books. He had studied every book by Lisko carefully.

"The new book has been written, but the agent and publisher thought it would be better to pre-release it before Christmas."

Lisko told the truth, this was not some hidden secret.

"Oh? What about those aspects?"

"It is a work about looking at the world through the innocent eyes of children, criticizing the relationship between money, and praising the truth, goodness and beauty."

"That's great. I'm looking forward to seeing your new work. In today's society, materialism is rampant."

As an older generation scholar, Joyce still retains the mission of a scholar. People like them hope to use what they have learned to change the world and promote human development, so they are very worried about the current chaotic social phenomena.

"Bang bang bang."

There was a knock on the door of the office, and after Joyce spoke out, a man with gold-rimmed glasses who looked like a teacher came in.

"Principal, Mr. Lisko, it's almost time."

"Okay," Joyce glanced at the office clock with some disappointment. He felt that he had just chatted with Lisko for a while, but he couldn't delay when the time came.

"Let's go."

Lisko drank all the coffee in the cup, then stood up, buttoned up his suit, and said goodbye to the principal. The two of them went in different directions. The principal wanted to gather with the teachers and enter the lecture hall together.

"Then we'll see you later?"

"yeah."

After leaving the office, Lisko followed the staff in front and ran directly into the lecture hall, followed closely by Charles and Yu Qing, who had returned.

The lecture hall is an elegant multi-functional space located on the second floor next to the teaching building and adjacent to the school library. It has a total area of ​​more than 600 square meters and can accommodate a thousand people. It can also be connected to the adjacent library

Combined to host events for up to 1,500 people.

The lecture hall is of medium size. The auditorium is divided into multiple camps. There is an aisle crossing the middle of each camp to facilitate people's entry and exit. The seats are made of wooden materials and the design is quite simple.

The auditorium is distributed in a stepped manner, allowing people to have a better viewing field.

In the middle of the room is a large podium, with two rows of curtains behind it. Above it is a banner with white characters on a red background. In order to keep it confidential, Lisko did not let anyone put his name on it. It simply said "Welcome Literature"

Master Speech.”

The area at the door is the check-in area, and the number of this speech is strictly controlled.

Lisko has already arrived backstage, and the makeup artist here is already ready. She is a very young girl, and it is said that she is from the student union.

"Mr. Liske, I am the makeup artist for this speech. Of course, I will only make you a little simple, so that the effect under the light will be better and it will be easier for the school to take pictures and save it."

The makeup artist told Lisko respectfully, but Lisko noticed that she had been peeking at him out of the corner of her eye.

"Okay, I'm fine."

Lisko did not refuse. Although his appearance was very durable, there was a difference between the lens and the eyes. He did not want his speech at the University of Denver to be a bad image.

After receiving permission for the cosmetics, he tentatively asked Lisko to sit down, then looked at the fair skin and let out a heartfelt sigh.

"Mr. Lisko, your skin is in good condition. Do you take care of it on a daily basis?"

"Not at all."

The time passed by as the two of them exchanged questions and answers. Within a few minutes, the makeup artist completed the work.

Lisko opened his eyes, looked at himself in the mirror, and changed the direction. He seemed to be a little more refined than before.

The time has reached 9:40, and under the coordination of the student union, the noise in the lecture hall in front has calmed down.

Lisko sat in his seat, closed his eyes and let himself go, recalling the content of his speech later.

Following the introduction from the previous host, Liske knew it was time for him to appear.

Passing through the corridor on one side, Lisko arranged his clothes as he walked, while Charles and Yu Qing stood still on the side of the stage.

"Invite our contemporary literary man, the pride of our state of Colorado, the Lisko Writer."

A smile appeared on Lisko's face, and then he walked out from behind, his handsome face shining brightly under the light. He stood there as if praying and closed his eyes for a few seconds.

At this time, the electronic screen behind him popped up his achievements in time.

"Lisko, whose works include "Blood Road", "Red Diamond" and "The Catcher in the Rye", and more than 300 short articles.

Achievements, "Blood Road" won the National Book Award in the United States, "The Red Diamond" won the Goncourt Literary Award, and "The Catcher in the Rye" won the British Blake Award."

The students in the audience were still wondering at first which master this young and handsome man on the stage was. As the names of Lisko's works came out, screams began to sound. These students were more or less

Everyone has read Lisko's book.

The screams reached their peak with the achievements that followed, and thunderous applause began. One after another, people stood up from their seats and looked at the stage with excitement.
