Lisco's American Life
Chapter 46: Ben's Visit
The lively Christmas has passed, the cowboys have returned to work on the ranch, and the deserted staff dormitories have begun to be lively again.
Lisko also began preparations for a new book.
This time the new book is aimed at children and teenagers, and he has come up with unavoidable masterpieces among literary classics.
The protagonist of this book is a little prince from an alien planet. The book uses a pilot as the narrator to tell the story of the various adventures that the little prince experienced during his journey from his own planet to the earth. Based on the little prince's children
It reveals the emptiness, blindness, foolishness and rigid dogma of adults with a unique perspective, and uses simple and innocent language to describe the loneliness and loneliness of human beings, and the fate of wandering with no foundation. At the same time, it also expresses criticism of the relationship between money and the
A hymn of truth, goodness and beauty.
It tells the adventures of the little prince on six planets. He met the king, the vain man, the drunkard, the businessman, the lamplighter, the geographer, the snake, the three-petal desert flower, the rose garden, the switchman, the vendor,
Fox as well as our narrator the pilot himself.
The sales volume of this book is also among the top five in the book sales statistics list all year round. Childhood is a time of longing for miracles, pursuing warmth, and being full of dreams. In contrast, adults are lifeless, power-hungry, and vain. "Adults should regard
"Children serve as role models." So I chose a child's perspective on the world, and used the child's innocence, curiosity, and desire to know more about the world to tell stories to adults, especially to those adults who are still "childlike at heart."
, let them use the imagination of the little prince to temporarily forget their desires in the adult world, fly back to childhood, reflect on real life, and discover the true meaning of life.
Now is the time when the world economy is developing rapidly. Many Hollywood works are full of extravagance and unabashed desire and pursuit of money. Lisko took out this book at this time to warn readers.
The financial crisis caused by the imminent subprime mortgage crisis.
He typed on the keyboard,
"When I was only six years old, I saw a wonderful illustration in a book called "True Stories" about primitive forests. It showed a python devouring a big beast."
Lisko's fingers were flying in the study room, and he knocked out the words in his memory bit by bit.
Outside the ranch, his old friend Ben, the owner of the Boulder restaurant, a loyal fan of Lisko's books, and a major customer of Li's ranch, was rushing to the restaurant.
"Wow, it's beautiful here. There are beautiful scenery and the fragrance of lavender everywhere. I feel relaxed and happy just looking here. No wonder Li Neng lives in seclusion here." Like a child who has never seen the world, Ben held up his
The camera keeps taking pictures. He is a photography enthusiast and often takes beautiful photos to hang in his restaurant.
The manager in charge of purchasing in his restaurant was coming to the ranch to purchase and sign contracts for next year. He came up with an impromptu idea to come and see Lisko. At Christmas, he and Lisko gave each other Christmas gifts. In the American mind, this relationship is already
Friends.
So he came to visit today because he wanted to establish a good relationship with his idol and stabilize the floating friendship. It is probably everyone's dream to be friends with the person he admires.
Ben's original name is Ben Harris. The Harris family is also a restaurant family in Denver. He inherited the Boulder restaurant from his father and seized the opportunity to become one of the most famous restaurants in the United States. From then on
It can also be seen that his ability is still very strong.
The car quickly arrived at the gate of the ranch. Rooster and David received the news early and greeted them at the gate.
"We're finally here," Ben was the first to get out of the car and stretched his waist.
"This is the ranch director, Rooster," the purchasing manager introduced Ben.
"Is Li at home? He doesn't know I'm coming today, right?" Ben asked Rooster. He wanted to give Li Sko an unexpected surprise.
"I don't know. I didn't tell him. He's still at home." Rooster answered honestly. The Boulder restaurant is a big customer of their ranch. Although they won't lose orders due to Lisko's relationship, they still have to be cautious.
treat.
Ben followed the rooster to Lisko's villa.
"This lake is very beautiful," Ben walked to the lake, picked up the camera and took a picture. Although there was not much grass in the pasture in winter and it was bare everywhere, this blue lake was still like a gem. There was something here.
It adds a touch of brilliance to the desolate winter scenery, and the artistic conception is very beautiful.
Lisko had just finished part of his work and went downstairs to make himself a cup of coffee when he heard footsteps in the yard.
He opened the door, turned aside the figure leading the way in front of the rooster, and saw Ben at a glance. Although he was puzzled by Ben's sudden attack, he still smiled and greeted him, "It's not surprising that a friend comes from afar."
"Hey, Ben." Lisko put the coffee on the table and went to the yard to greet him.
"Li, are you surprised?" Ben smiled happily and stepped forward to hug him.
"It's quite unexpected, but you are welcome to be our guest," Lisko led everyone into the room and sat down.
"Water? Or coffee?" Lisko asked them.
"Coffee bar," Ben sat down and kept observing the furnishings of the house.
"Okay." Lisko went to the kitchen to make coffee, while the rooster stayed with the guests.
"Here, have a taste." Lisko handed the coffee to Ben.
"Li, your place is great. The art hangings on your walls are very artistic." Ben was very interested in Lisko's humanistic decoration.
"Is this it?" Lisko stood up and introduced.
"I bought this at a flea market in New York. It is the work of a street artist. This work is very natural. Do you know how he painted it?" Lisko asked him.
"I don't know," I have never been exposed to this style.
"He is a Danish artist named Hayes. In the spring, he tied a paintbrush to the branches of a weeping willow and placed a drawing board next to it. When the wind blew, the weeping willow began to paint, with the horizontal and vertical lines on it
The painting marks are all masterpieces of nature. Isn't it very creative? "Although it has been a long time since I bought this painting, Lisko is always amazed by this genius' creativity every time he thinks about it.
The content of this painting is not very beautiful. It is all lines drawn with a black brush. People who don’t know it will definitely think it’s a mess when they look at it. Lisko only collects this because this way of painting is really not used by anyone.
I can imagine that every time I introduce it to my friends, I feel very satisfied when I see their surprise and exclamation.
Lisko took Ben around and introduced his collection to him. Just like when he was a child, everyone would have a treasure chest of their own. It might contain a beautiful stone, a blackened branch, or some miscellaneous things.
A useless treasure in my own eyes.
"This wild boar tooth is a trophy from my hunting, and this wolf tooth was collected after my ranch was attacked by a pack of wolves some time ago. This belongs to the wolf." Lisko's tone was boastful, and his character was still arrogant.
He has a bit of childishness, but this will not offend others, they will only find him more interesting and a bit pure.
