Lisko’s American Life

"By the way, do you already know each other?" Haas looked at Ada who shook her head and introduced quickly.

"This is my younger brother, the most proud student of my mentor, the most promising leading young writer in the United States to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, and my closest friend, Lisko, who now lives in Garrison, Great Shenk District, It's a rancher, and next time we can visit them."

Seeing Ada look over, Lisko waved quickly.

After Haas finished speaking, he turned around and introduced Lisko.

"This is my girlfriend and my lover, Ada, is a painter. We met in a gallery. She is the most famous young female writer in Romania. Her works are full of creativity. We are inspired by each other's talent and artistic accomplishment. Attracted, we have been together for half a month now, so I invite you to introduce me."

Lisko also stood up to greet her.

Seeing Ada smiling and watching Haas bragging without refuting, Lisko felt that the two were a good match, and only a complementary relationship can last long. Two people with the same personality are bound to have many differences in life. contradiction.

If Ada can endure Haas's unconstrained ideas and unreliable living habits, she will definitely be able to go to the end with him.

Lisko was also very happy for his old bachelor brother. He has always been a clumsy person with feelings, and his popularity with women depends on showing off his identity as a writer at the banquet to attract people.

Logically speaking, Haas writes love novels, so he should be very good at it, but on the contrary, he is a giant in words, and he can often express the emotions of the heroes and heroines in his works vividly, ups and downs, making people Attract all female readers to tears and cheer for the plot.

However, he has always been clumsy when dealing with girlfriends.

Lisko never understood why.

Until a meeting, a brother solved Lisko's question.

"Haas understands everything, but he writes the love in his own world so beautifully and purely. He gave all women a perfect dream of love, but there is no such emotion in real life, so he That's why he doesn't know how to fall in love, and seems out of tune with all women, because the heroine in his novel doesn't exist at all."

Since then, Lisko has admired this heartless fat brother, and his relationship with him has become better and better.

"Come on, try it, all I cook are Eastern European dishes," Ada greeted the two of them and began to eat,

Haas opened the bottle of fruit wine, and Ada's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she could tell that she was also a person who knew how to live.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Viennese grilled ribs, ribs, served with roasted potatoes, salad, and dipping sauce. It is the best western food in Eastern Europe."

“This is Czech roast duck, the whole duck is baked in the oven, served with sweet and sour kale and steamed bun slices, it tastes delicious,”

"This cake is very famous throughout Europe. Karlovy Vary hot spring cake. There are 17 springs in Karlovy Vary. This is the cake made from the eighth spring. It contains more than 40 kinds of rich minerals. The cake is thin and crispy. It’s crispy, with a sweet filling between the two slices, and tastes like a flan sandwich. This is a gift I brought back to Eastern Europe a while ago, and it’s a very good food.”

"And this, dumpling."

"Huh? What do you think it is? Dumplings?" Lisko looked at the food in front of him, but couldn't connect with the dumplings.

He has eaten dumplings from China, North Korea, Russia, India, Mexico, Mexico, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan. He has tried all kinds of dumplings, but at least other people's dumplings are strange, they are also filled with meat, which is not the same as this one. No matter how stupid Lisko is, he can tell that this is Chinese steamed bun slices .

"You misunderstood, this is whole wheat flour mixed with eggs and milk, fermented and cooked in hot water. We call it Dumpling." Ada explained with a smile.

It was only at this time that Lisko understood. It turns out that in the Czech Republic, all flour-based foods are called Knedliky, which translates to English as Dumpling dumplings.

There is another dish in the back, roasted pork knuckle, Lisko has heard about this dish, and a senior brother talked about it at the banquet. The pork knuckle is marinated and then grilled over a wood fire by the chef. The golden skin reveals a thick orange red, and the whole body shines with a crystal clear oily luster. The thick pigskin has distinct layers, and the outermost layer is about half a millimeter, which is the part that is directly in contact with the fire, but it is not mushy or burnt at all, and it is crispy and chewy.

But today seems to be due to insufficient conditions. This one is made in an oven, which is not as exciting as the legend says, but it is also suitable for Lisko's appetite.

After eating something, Lisko started talking.

"Brother, how did you two fall in love?"

"Didn't I say it. In the gallery."

Haas replied.

"Oh, how did the people who asked you get together." Lisko asked a little gossip.

"We met a few times and left each other's contact information, and I finally spoke." Ada shook the glass, and the golden yellow gin swirled in the glass.

"Wow, senior brother, you're a bit weak." Lisko's eyes were full of disgust.

"By the way, Ada," everyone at the table had to take care of the conversation, and Lisko also started chatting with Ada.

"You have a great wine in Eastern Europe called noble rot wine, right?"

Lisko remembered a kind of wine he had heard about. The birth of this kind of wine was completely accidental, and it turned out to be a famous wine in the eyes of many people.

"That's right, noble rot wine makes life more meaningful." Ada replied.

This sentence is the promotional slogan of noble rot wine, which is very famous in Eastern Europe.

Speaking of noble rot wine, its birth was really accidental. One year, because the grapes were harvested too late, the grapes infected by "noble rot" were in a semi-rotten and shriveled state. Usually people just throw it away, but a Hungarian fruit farmer named Tokaj used it to make an unusual liqueur.

Tokaji noble rot wine is known as the "king wine" because of its unmatched quality in other countries. With such high praise, one can imagine its delicacy.

Noble rot wine needs to be selected one by one, and sometimes a vine may only produce a glass of noble rot wine, which is especially precious. Moreover, the longer this wine is kept, the more delicious and precious it is, and the color will become more intense. It is often called the color of topaz, which is transparent and golden.

Lisko has never been lucky enough to taste it, and he has always remembered it.

"Then Ada, get rid of you next time you go back to Eastern Europe, can you bring some for me? I want to collect some of this peculiar wine." Lisko told Ada his request.

"It's okay, this kind of wine is easy to buy in Eastern Europe, and my brother is a wine seller. I'll email him later and ask him to send some by mail." Ada's character is also very hearty, and she agreed very readily. up.
