Lisco's American Life

In the early morning, Megan woke up and looked around. No one was there anymore. She washed up and went downstairs. As expected, Lisko had just finished her morning run and was making breakfast.

Megan quietly walked up behind him and hugged him.

"Good morning, Honey."

Lisko enjoyed his lover's hug and said, "Morning, breakfast will be ready soon. I'll make the omelette and we can eat it."

Megan obediently poured the heated milk and cleared the table.

Lisko fried the eggs, sandwiched the bread and ham slices, and served them to the table.

The two began to have breakfast warmly,

"Honey, there are a lot of oil paintings in your house, is it true?" Megan looked at the somewhat changed house while eating breakfast.

"No, it's fake. I felt that the wall was a little empty, so I bought some imitations to hang on it. When I go to China later, I will buy some beautiful Chinese ink paintings. They are very elegant paintings and have great artistic conception." Li Ke

Answered while drinking milk.

Meghan did not comment on these things that she did not understand. She knew that Li Sko was particularly fond of Chinese culture. "Is there anything going on today?"

"I'm going to visit the home of a friend I just met. He's a Chinese. His home is in a nearby town and he's very welcoming. He asked me to go today. Do you want to come with me?" Lisko said about his plans for today.

The Chinese guy is Lin Qi, a decent Northeastern man who gave Lisko a gift at the garage sale. Yesterday, he made several phone calls to Lisko and invited him to come over.

The enthusiasm was hard to quell, so Lisko had to agree and planned to go to the meeting later. He felt a little happy that he had a Northeastern friend. He was not far away and could often visit and speak Mandarin.

Megan is also somewhat interested. She has never made any Chinese friends, and with Liske's guidance, she is also very curious about the mysterious and distant ancient country with a history of five thousand years.

"Okay, do we need to prepare any gifts?" Meghan asked curiously.

"Of course, in China it's rude to go to someone else's house empty-handed." Lisko wiped his mouth, and I went to see what was prepared."

Opening the dusty wine cellar, Lisko turned a blind eye to the red wine and whiskey placed in front. He walked directly to the bottom and took out a red box from the wooden box.

There are two big characters of "Maotai" written on it in Chinese. This is the authentic Maotai liquor that Liske found in New York. For the Northeastern people who like wine, this is definitely a good gift.

I bought eight bottles of wine. In Chinese, odd numbers are numbers that have bad homophony and need to be avoided. Lisko went to the kitchen of the ranch again. Here were the elk that had strayed into the ranch and killed by the cowboys. Lisko chose a sturdy deer costume.

When I got in the car, I also brought some lavender essential oil and hydrosol produced by the ranch and reserved for gifts. These gifts were high-end enough.

Venison has been kept in the ranch staff restaurant because Lisko doesn't know how to cook deer dishes. This time he also plans to learn the recipes from Lynch's father so that he can make them himself in the future, otherwise such good nourishing ingredients will be wasted.

Lisko packed up the gifts he wanted to give and drove to the nearby town of Fort Collins with Meghan, who had put on makeup.

After an hour's journey, Liske had arrived at his destination. Lin Qi's parents and Lin Qi had already received a call and were waiting outside.

"Hello, Uncle Lin, my name is Liske, and I am a rancher." Liske got out of the car and first greeted Lin Qi's father, Lin Guozhong.

Lin Guozhong is in his fifties this year, and his long career as a chef has inevitably left him with a unique pot belly. In the early years, he followed his fellow villagers to the United States to work. He took advantage of the opportunity and opened a Chinese restaurant. He still owns it now.

The chef has been in business for more than ten years and has a good reputation in this town. He has also attracted many foreign repeat customers who like Chinese food.

His son Lynch had nothing to do at home after graduating from college, so he called him to help in his restaurant. His wife and son were by his side. Isn’t it a wonderful family life? His son taught him, and he slowly passed on his skills to him.

, I will leave the restaurant to him in the future, and I can enjoy my retirement life.

The day before yesterday, my son went to a neighboring town to play. He said that he met a foreigner who worked as a rancher. His grandfather was Chinese and he spoke fluent Mandarin. Lin Guozhong's first reaction was that he didn't believe it. His son planned to invite him to his home as a guest.

Lin Guozhong didn't have any objections. His son had been here for more than half a year and had nothing to do. Friends who came here were very hospitable in the Northeast, so Lin Guozhong hung up the "Closed Today" sign early, got up early, prepared ingredients, and prepared for his son.

My friend showed his hand.

When Lisko greeted him in Mandarin, he still didn't react. He just followed his body's reaction and agreed repeatedly, saying hello to go into the room and sit down.

Lin Qi's mother is an ordinary Chinese woman named Yu E. She looks like a very gentle mother. She usually washes herself in the restaurant and takes care of her son and husband. She also welcomes Li Sko's visit.

I also really want to see what the friend my son can talk to looks like.

"Lin Bo, I brought something," Liske opened the trunk and prepared to take out the gifts. Lynch was greeting Megan.

"You're here, what are you bringing?" Lin Guozhong was a little surprised. This foreigner was quite familiar with Chinese etiquette.

"You have to bring it, it's a rule," Lisko responded with a smile.

Several people entered the restaurant with their things.

The restaurant occupies three rooms and looks very spacious. The decoration is in Chinese style. It looks no different from the Northeastern restaurants in China. The tables and chairs here have individual two-seater seats, and the other large tables have stools.

Lisko felt particularly warm when he saw the long benches in China.

After entering the room, Lisko introduced Megan to everyone, "This is my girlfriend, Megan Fox. You can just call her Megan."

Meghan said hello in stumbling Chinese, "We are so good."

It made Lisko and Lynch laugh so hard.

After the commotion, Lisko opened the gift and introduced it, "Uncle Lin, I brought a few bottles of wine. Let me see if it's true."

Then he took out Moutai and handed it over.

"Hey, good guy, Moutai." Lin Guozhong took it and took a good look at it. "Yes, it's real. Now it's a real treat. It's still a 1998 commemorative model. It's more expensive now." Lin Guozhong couldn't put it down and touched it.

.

Liske took out the remaining bottles, and Lin Guozhong became even more excited. He held his hand and kept saying, "It's a waste of time, nephew."

"It's okay. No one would drink it if I put it there. This stuff is only serious when it comes into Uncle Lin's hands. Uncle Lin keeps it and drinks it slowly. This was given to me by someone else, so it's not worth anything."

Lisko was polite and opened the big bag again, revealing the elk's head, "This is a deer shot in my pasture. I don't know how to do this. I brought it here to pay the tuition for Uncle Lin. I want to learn how to make delicious food. It's so good."

I don’t know how to use the ingredients.”

"It's easy to say, easy to say. I've designated the old man to leave it to you. This deer is strong and has venison supplements. I'll stew it for you later. It's a good ingredient."

Lin Guozhong lives here and has bought deer many times. He is also very good at cooking deer meat, so seeing the deer was not as exciting as when he first arrived.

Lisko gave lavender essential oil and hydrosol to Lin's mother Yu'e again. She was also very happy. Women love beauty, especially this hydrosol, which is very good for the skin. It is usually too expensive and would not be willing to buy it. This time Liske

Ke gave her such a precious gift, and she liked it very much.
