Lisko’s American Life

The door was pushed open, and it was David who came in. Looking at his damp hair, Lisko knew that he had just washed himself.

"How about it?"

Lisko tilted his head and asked David how he felt.

"Great villa and the ranch is spectacular."

David stood at the window of Lisko's room, looking at the endless pasture. This pasture really shocked him a lot. It can be said that it is the largest pasture he has seen so far.

This ranch is more like a small kingdom standing in Texas, looking at the faces of cowboys passing downstairs, all of them are filled with proud expressions.

"We will not be bad in the future,"

Seeing that his right-hand man was already full of enthusiasm just after being in contact with him, Lisko felt that this business trip had already been earned.

"Work hard."

David turned around and smiled in response.

After changing his clothes, Lisko took David downstairs and was a guest at someone else's house. It would be very impolite not to wait until the invitation came late.

The maid downstairs carried a tray and was busy back and forth from the side kitchen, serving dishes to the dining room.

"How is your rest, my friend?"

Ian was standing in the living room, watching how the kitchen was being prepared, and when he looked up, he saw Lisko coming downstairs.

"It's great that you even have a jacuzzi."

Lisko smiled and gave Ian a thumbs up.

"Fuck you, I'm not some old antique who can't use modern appliances."

"But you still have Bill Anton's oil paintings in your collection? Didn't you mean that most of them are collected by Sears, DuPont, Bank of America, Hewlett-Packard, and Western Trust? There are very few that are circulated on the market."

With an envious tone, Lisko also thought about collecting a few pieces, but he found nothing at all major auctions.

"Hahaha, my father has a very good friendship with him. Most of his oil paintings were collected and painted in our ranch, so my father took advantage of the opportunity to buy a lot of his oil paintings, and some of them were gifted by him. Our family is a testament to the friendship between the two parties.”

Ian's expression was showing off. Bill Anton no longer paints, so his paintings are now very popular in the market.

"Well, my friend, you pick a pair and I'll give it to you."

Ian looked at Lisko's collection and was very envious of his collection. He recalled the number of oil paintings in his villa, and gave Lisko a pair directly. What's more, Lisko is also a rancher, and I believe he can preserve Bill Anton's works well.

"What a shame."

Lisko immediately refused. This gift is very expensive, and now such oil paintings are basically worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in the market.

"Not expensive, many of them were traded by my father with horses."

Ian waved his hand indifferently. The Wagner family has been passed down for a hundred years, so this thing is completely inconspicuous.

Lisko knew that if he continued to refuse, he would be rejecting the family’s friendship. This is very impolite, so he could only accept it. He planned to go home and take stock of his collection, and then he could return something of similar value. gift.

Seeing that the random decorations in the villa have origins, and the sculptures and handicrafts that may be placed everywhere are all the works of masters in this industry, Lisko once again lamented the heritage of these families.

However, he didn't feel too much envy. If Charles' side went well, he could compare his collection with the National Museum.

With a beautiful vision, Lisko and David sat down at the dining table under the greeting of Ian.

"Come on, my friend, you are welcome to visit the Wagner family."

Ian gathered the red wine glasses in his hands. This is the red wine that the servants have woken up a long time ago, and it is also a famous wine collected by his family, the 1945 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru red wine.

The price of this wine at the auction has already reached 400,000 US dollars a bottle, and the stock is very small. Lisko took a sip and sipped it in his mouth, and he could tell the age.

He had the honor to drink this red wine once at his mentor's birthday party, and the unique taste was still fresh in his memory.

In terms of this kind of wine storage, Lisko is still not as capable as these families. He spends a part of the money every year to purchase good red wine of the year and put it in his own wine cellar.

But I believed that I would catch up in the future, and suddenly remembered that I still had a red wine winery, as well as the shares of Screaming Eagle Winery in the United States, and Lisko suddenly didn't envy them anymore.

It is difficult to acquire the shares of good wineries. These wineries are regarded as important assets of a family, and more of a reflection of status. It is also difficult to enter the market after acquiring the shares of Screaming Eagle Winery.

Screaming Eagle Winery is still only a little famous, but Lisco knows its status in the future. After several years of development, it has become one of the top five wineries in the United States.

"Come and try our authentic Texas food."

Ian beckoned the two guests to move their knives and forks, and the stainless steel heat preservation cover covering the dishes on the table was also opened.

A series of fragrant delicacies appeared in front of the two of them.

In the United States, Texas can be said to be a gourmet continent. It is a traditional western state and absorbs the essence of Mexican cuisine, making the cuisine here a unique genre, Dex-Mox.

The food in Texas has witnessed the history of the United States and has become the birthplace of American food culture.

The first delicacy I saw was the barbecue, which is the symbol of Texas. Barbecue is a food that Americans often eat, because there are many ethnic groups in the United States, and almost every place has its own unique barbecue method, but the most authentic is Texas. The capital of barbecue.

The beef from the most authentic Hereford cattle in the ranch is selected, and the aroma of being roasted is tangy.

Roast beef is just a side dish at the front, and the real main course is at the back. Lisko looked at another plate in front of him, which consisted of grilled back ribs, Kansas pork chops, grilled pork cartilage, grilled beef ribs, pulled pork, and smoked grilled pork ribs. Chicken and three flavors of classic grilled sausage... The barbecue platter formed by gathering is overwhelming.

The meat is boneless and soft, and the sauce is sweet and fragrant. To be honest, Lisko is really hungry after being on the plane for so long. When he saw this Big Mac, he put down the knife and fork in his hand and started He took it and ate it, and turned to look at David, who was already gnawing on the ribs.

Lisko also bit into the steak in his hand, the tender minced meat had a dense texture, and the taste made him squint his eyes.

Ian watched the two of them feasting, and didn't feel that there was any disrespect, but laughed happily.

As a paradise for meat eaters, the western scenery and endless wilderness here in Texas have made the people here tough, hearty, and their hospitable character.

The performance of Lisko and David is in line with the appearance of the guests that Ian wants to see, not artificial, nor like others, slowly cutting the meat with a knife and fork, and stuffing small mouthfuls into their mouths.
