Lisko's American life
Chapter 10 The Boulder Restaurant
Colorado is mainly based on minerals and agriculture, and its economic strength is not outstanding in the United States, so it is not like New York and Los Angeles with restaurants everywhere.
In the state capital of Denver, there is such a restaurant called Boulder. This restaurant not only serves exquisite Italian cuisine, such as quail dumplings, but also has the title of Master Sommelier. Only 149 people in the world can get this title. Extensive wine list and exquisite snacks have been listed on the "Top 50 Restaurants in the United States" many times.It is also the most famous restaurant in Colorado.
Dining in this restaurant must be reserved in advance, but yesterday Lisko found the business card he received from the last charity party when he was sorting things out. It happened to contain the contact information of the restaurant owner. After Lisko called to explain the situation , Got a reply soon.
The car parked at the entrance of the restaurant. The decoration of the restaurant is stylish and simple. The dark red and white signs on the exterior wall reveal elegance everywhere. The restaurant’s logo is a branch of forked branches. Lisko did not understand this logo. What's the meaning.
He handed the car keys to the waiter at the door, stretched out his arms, and Megan smiled and held them.
"Lisko, there is an appointment," he motioned to the manager who stepped forward.
"Hello, the boss has explained, please sit here." The manager gestured respectfully.
Lisko followed him through the hall and stopped at a partition. It was decorated in a semicircle, and the location was just enough for two people to eat without being disturbed by the crowd.
"Thank you, does the chef have any recommendations today?" Lisko helped Megan open the dining chair and set the tableware.
"I recommend the filet mignon today, with special polenta for dessert, and fresh tuna."
Liske poured a glass of water and drank his mouthwash, "Just follow this, and get me a bottle of Margaux from 95 years."
The manager went down to make arrangements, and Lisko looked up and explained to Megan, “The 95 vintage red wine of Chateau Margaux is top-notch, with tangy blackberry and blackcurrant aromas, smooth and lively, and the fruity aroma is thick and delicate, just like today Like you, it not only has the complexity of the 1986 vintage, but also the elegance of the 1990 vintage, and the Mayan winery has a history of 1,000 years."
Megan was amused by his praise, "I can hardly imagine that you are a writer, but you speak like a playboy."
"That's not correct," Liske retorted immediately. "Writers have strong feelings to write attractive words. It doesn't mean that we are bothered. We are also very loyal to life."
Liske pretended to be frustrated when he finished speaking, "You are a little bit prejudiced about our views, which is really sad."
Megan thought Lisko was very humorous. Soon the restaurant began to serve. The exquisite steak exuded an attractive aroma. Lisko cut the steak and handed it to Megan, and took the one that she didn't cut. That one.
Meghan was moved by his ubiquitous attention to small details, and reached out to hold his hand, "Lisko, thank you."
What you can see in Hollywood is betrayal, fame, and desire. She hasn't been so cared about for a long time.
Li Ske comfortably patted the back of her hand, "Hurry up, the steak in this restaurant is still great."
While eating, a man in a suit and leather shoes suddenly walked over. He saw Lisko and began to greet him.
"Li, it's really you, I've been waiting for you in the restaurant long ago."
Lisko recognized him as the owner of this restaurant and a literary lover. At the charity party, he took Lisko to discuss literary works for a long time. Yesterday he called him to make an appointment and was very enthusiastic.
"Ben, why are you here? The taste here is great, by the way, this is Megan Fox, my friend." Lisko introduced Megan to him.
"Oh~ I said what kind of beauty would make Li Sko call me to reserve a restaurant at night. After seeing it, I found it was even better than I expected. Hello, I am the owner of this restaurant, Ben."
This exaggerated teasing made Megan a little shy, "Hello, this is Megan."
"Li, I heard that your new book has been finished, is it still the previous type? When will it be released? You know, since I heard you last time, I have been thinking about the plot behind it."
Li Sike was a little bit dumbfounded. The reminders are really everywhere, so I had to comfort him, "Ben, I have already sent the manuscript, and the publishing house will sell it soon. I can give you a hardcover edition."
"Really," Ben was a little surprised, he really liked Lisko's work.
"Okay, I won't bother you to have dinner with this beautiful Ms. Megan. Remember to promise my hardcover version, Lee."
This was a very timely farewell, and at the same time arranged for the manager to deliver desserts.
After the sweet two had dinner, they were ready to go to the movies. Next to the restaurant is the cinema. Lisko lined up to buy a large portion of Coke and popcorn.
"Megan, what are we looking at?"
Megan looked up at the poster on the wall of the movie theater. "I watched the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie some time ago. The car is an animated cartoon. The X-Men don't like it very much. Why don't we go see the Da Vinci Code? I heard that the plot is very exciting, and it is adapted from a best-selling book. There are many quotes from the church in it. Many of my friends think it is true."
Liske reluctantly looked at the latest horror film "Silent Hill" next to him. He was still a little cautious. He wanted to watch Megan, who was frightened, jump into his arms for comfort.
"Okay, I have always wanted to take a look, Dan Brown is also a very good writer, I have always wanted to learn the worldview of the works of the next generation."
Megan also saw Lisko's thoughts and raised his head and kissed him on the cheek.
"Let's go, tickets are bought, and the movie is about to begin."
Li Ske recalled the softness just now, and responded with a smirk, "Okay, okay, come right away."
"The Da Vinci Code" is a dark horse that broke out in 2006. The film mainly tells about a murder case in the Louvre Museum that alerted symbolic expert Robert Langdon. Langdon and the deceased's granddaughter Sophie were in the process of solving the case. As the case progressed, Langdon discovered that all the decrypted codes were hidden in Leonardo’s works.
Liske has been acquainted with the writer Dan Brown for a long time. Dan Brown’s works combine elements of popular novels such as murder, horror, detectives, deciphering suspense, and hunting for romance.
He always uses high-tech knowledge and culture to merge and conflict with ancient mystical knowledge and culture, which has formed his unique writing habit. The narrative rhythm of his novels is always intertwined, and the many twists and surprises always make readers guess. Endless.
The film is starred by the popular Tom Hanks and the heroine Audrey Tatu. At first, Megan was still complaining about her being eliminated when the heroine was interviewed in the primary election. As the plot speeded up, she was also addicted to Ao Dai. Li's superb acting skills.
In Hollywood movies, the lingering kiss that Li Sko had expected by the protagonist and heroine did not appear. Li Sko was relieved and a little disappointed. The actor only restrained and kissed the heroine’s forehead. In terms of plot, this The treatment is just right. The age of the male and female protagonist is much different. If it is the time of Jesus, men and women are affectionate, and boldly pursue freedom to break free from the old cage. Hot love is a must. Contemporary society needs the mutual respect of both men and women. The heroine is on the plot. It is a descendant of Jesus, and it adds a sense of inviolability to the gods, so the director handles it more appropriately here.
