Lisco's American Life

This surprised Lisko.

Allen looked at Lisko's surprised look and thought that the other party didn't know this red wine. After all, because of the scarcity of production, only wine lovers would know about this red wine.

"This is Screaming Eagle. Its winery is in the United States. It is a red wine produced in our country. It is now rated highly by many wine tasting associations. I also had good luck. I bought a box and stored it in the

This restaurant.”

Listening to Allen's explanation, Lisko smiled mysteriously, and then pretended to be weak.

"I know, I drink it often, but I'm just surprised to see it here. After all, it's rarely available in restaurants. The wine released every year is snapped up by red wine lovers, and I'm a shareholder of this winery.

.”

After saying that, he picked up the cup, shook it gently, looked at the red traces left by the wine on the wall of the cup, lowered his head and smelled it, then took a sip of red wine and held it in his mouth.

"Really? This is so surprising. Do you have any channels to buy wine? I really like this wine."

When Allen heard Lisko's words, he was overjoyed and asked quickly.

"Well, I'm sorry. Because I am a shareholder, a part of my share will be set aside. I will transfer two boxes to you from my share. If there is more, I can't do anything about it. I respect these craftsmen very much, so I won't

Break the rules they set."

Lisko put down the cup and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

"These are enough. I only bought one box. Now this is the last bottle. I really don't know how I will spend the rest of my days after drinking it."

Lisko was very happy that Allen liked the wine of his winery, which also showed that he was right to acquire the shares of the winery.

As a well-known host, Ellen's taste represents the taste of most people in the entertainment industry, and since she admires this wine so much, it seems that it is imperative that Screaming Eagle Winery invest in it.

"Come on, now I can enjoy it with peace of mind. Let's pay homage to the Screaming Eagle."

Allen picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Lisko. The goblet made a "buzzing" sound from the collision.

The waiter in the restaurant was not idle either, he continued to serve the main course.

There are two main courses, one is called Wellington on the menu and the other is called Black Sea Bass.

Perhaps because it was close to the seaside, the seafood here was very fresh. Lisko cut off a piece of fish with a knife and stuffed it into his mouth.

The meat is firm and slightly salty, and the sauce tastes like lobster butter. There are artichoke ravioli next to the plate, and the presentation is very artistic.

The other main dish is more interesting. Many people may know Steak Wellington, but this dish at the Riverside Restaurant is called Wellington. It has nothing to do with meat. It is a completely vegetarian dish.

First roast the mushrooms half-cooked, then fry them with truffles, and finally serve them with vegetables and sauces. The mushrooms have a meaty texture and the skin is very crispy. Lisko feels that his vegetarian senses have been opened. This dish is really different from the Beef Wellington.

There is no distinction between them.

Lisko had never been a vegetarian. He liked Su Dongpo's words very much, "You can't eat without meat, and you can't live without bamboo."

If there is no meat in every meal, Lisko feels that it is not a meal. He enjoys all meat.

But if all vegetarian dishes were as good as this Wellington, he figured it wouldn't matter if there was no meat.

After finishing the main course, Allen and Lisko had almost finished a bottle of red wine. Next came dessert. As a country with frequent occurrences of diabetes, the United States loves sweets to the core.

From the waiter's dessert menu, Lisko ordered a hot soufflé. Lisko, who now strictly controls his weight, dare not touch chocolate.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Allen stuffed the last mouthful of smoothie into his mouth, and then wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

"Okay, it's really great here. I will definitely come back several times in the future."

Lisko is a person who likes good food and also likes to make friends with good food. After today's meal, he was very satisfied with the enjoyment of his taste buds and gained a funny friend like Allen.

After all, people who like food are people who like life. How bad can a person who likes life be, no matter how bad he is?

"Bill, please."

Lisko called the waiter who was waiting for the call and took out his wallet.

"Do I really want you to invite me?"

Allen asked with a smile.

"Of course, please don't disturb my chance to be a gentleman."

Lisko also replied humorously and took the bill handed over by the waiter.

"Nine hundred dollars?"

Lisko looked at the numbers above with some surprise. In such a restaurant, two people only ate for nine hundred dollars, which is really not expensive. After all, you are Michelin. Lisko finally understood why this restaurant always has one star.

.

"Sir, the wine you drank was stored by this lady, so it doesn't count. You spent nine hundred dollars."

"good,"

Lisko once again sighed at the high quality and low price of this restaurant, then took out one thousand and eighty US dollars and handed it to the waiter.

One hundred and eighty dollars is a tip. As the tipping culture is prevalent in the United States, even though Lisko was not used to it, after several years of habit, he developed this behavior.

The tip in this kind of restaurant is 20% of the consumption, or 15% in a more civilian way.

Yu Qing and Charles also finished their meal. Looking at their narrowed eyes, they knew that they were very satisfied with the dining experience just now.

"Ma'am, shall I take you home?"

Lisko made an invitation gesture, but Allen did not drive out. It was Lisko's basic courtesy to send her home.

"I don't want to walk back."

Allen didn't refuse and got into the car directly.

“Long Island District.”

Allen directly told the driver in front of him, Charles, his destination.

As the host of The Ellen Show, Ellen earns a lot of money, and she also has a career as an actress. She has starred in several movies in her spare time, so her net worth is naturally quite high.

A few years ago, she bought a villa in Long Island, New York, worth US$3 million.

Long Island District is a well-known wealthy area in New York. Most of the buildings here are villas, and the owners are from New York. Most of them are doctors, lawyers and individual merchants, and they have certain financial strength.

Changdao is far from the urban area, has good public security, and forms a clear boundary with ordinary residences. The value of villas here is high, and they are rising rapidly year by year.

The car quickly stopped in front of a European-style building under Allen's instructions.

"Here we are, Li. We'll see you tomorrow. I'm very happy to get to know you. You let me know what a young writer is different from what I imagined."

Allen got out of the car, took his handbag, and said goodbye to Lisko.

"Good night, Ms. Allen, I'm very happy to meet you. See you tomorrow."
