Lisko's American life
Chapter 23: Visiting the Lin Family
Early in the morning, Megan woke up and looked at her side. There was no one else. She washed and went downstairs. As expected, Lisko had just finished running in the morning to make breakfast.
Megan quietly walked behind him and hugged him.
"Hani, early."
Lisko was enjoying the embrace of his lover, "Morning, breakfast will be ready soon, I can eat the omelette after cooking."
Megan obediently poured the heated milk and tidied the table.
Lisko fried the eggs, sandwiched the breaded ham slices, and put them on the table.
The two began to eat breakfast warmly,
"Hani, there are a lot of oil paintings in your house, is it true?" Megan was eating breakfast while looking at the somewhat changed house.
"No, it's a fake. I think the wall is a bit empty, so I bought some imitations to hang on it. When I go to China later, I will buy some beautiful Chinese ink paintings, very elegant paintings, very artistic." Answered with milk.
Megan didn't comment on the things she didn't understand. She knew that Li Sike particularly liked Chinese culture. "What's the matter today?"
"I'm going to visit a friend's house I just met. He is of Chinese descent. His family is in the nearby town. He is very enthusiastic. I must go today. Do you want to go together?" Li Ske said about today's plan.
The Chinese descent is the easy-to-do northeast man Lynch who gave Lisko a gift at the second-hand goods auction. Yesterday, he called Lisko several times and invited him to be a guest.
The enthusiasm was difficult, Li Sike had to agree and plan to go to the meeting later. He felt a little happy that he had a Northeast friend. He was not far away, so he could often drop by and speak Mandarin.
Megan is also a little interested. She has never made any Chinese friends. Under Lisko's Amway, she is also curious about the mysterious ancient country with a history of five thousand years.
"Okay, do we need any gifts?" Megan asked curiously.
"Of course, it's impolite to go to someone else's house empty-handed in China." Lisko wiped his mouth and I went to see what I was preparing."
Opening the dusty wine cellar, Lisko turned a blind eye to the red wine and whiskey placed in front, went straight to the bottom, and took out a red box from the wooden box.
It says "Moutai" in Chinese. This is the authentic Moutai that Lisko found in New York. It is definitely a good gift for people from the Northeast who enjoy good wine.
I took eight bottles of wine. The singular number in Chinese is a number that has bad homophony and needs to be avoided.Lisko went to the kitchen of the ranch again, where the elk that the cowboys killed by mistake entered the ranch, Lisko chose a strong deer to load on the car, and also brought some lavender essential oil and pure lavender that the ranch produced and reserved for gifts Lu, these gifts are good enough.
The venison has been kept in the ranch staff restaurant because Lisko doesn't know how to cook deer dishes. This time he plans to learn the recipes with Lynch’s father and can cook it himself in the future, otherwise such good nourishing ingredients will be wasted.
Lisko packed up the gifts to be given, and drove Megan with his makeup on to the nearby town of Fort Collins.
After an hour's journey, Lisko had arrived at his destination. Lynch's parents and Lynch had already received a call and were waiting outside.
"Hello, Lin Bo, my name is Li Sike, I am a rancher." Li Sike got out of the car and greeted Lin Qi's father, Lin Guozhong.
Lin Guozhong is more than 50 years old this year, and his long career as a chef has made him inevitably bring his unique big belly. In the early years, he followed his fellow villagers in the United States to work in the United States, so he opened his own Chinese restaurant on time and opened his own Chinese restaurant. The chef has been in business for more than ten years, and he has a small reputation in this town. It also attracts many foreign repeat customers who like Chinese cuisine.
After his son Lynch had nothing to do at home after graduating from college, he called him to help his restaurant. His wife and son were by his side. Isn’t the family life very good? The son gave him a hand, and he slowly passed on his art to him. , And let him take care of the restaurant in the future, so he can enjoy his retirement.
The day before yesterday, my son had nothing to do in a neighboring town. He said that he met a foreigner who was a farmer. His grandfather was Chinese and he spoke fluent Mandarin. Lin Guozhong’s first reaction was unbelief. His son planned to call him to be a guest. Lin Guozhong has no opinion. Friends who have come here for more than half a year and have nothing to play with are very hospitable in their northeast. Therefore, Lin Guozhong hung up the sign of "rest today" early, got up early and prepared the ingredients for his son. The friend showed his hand.
When Lisko greeted him in Mandarin, he still didn't react, but he obeyed his body's reaction, replied repeatedly, and greeted him to enter the room to sit.
Lin Qi’s mother is an ordinary Chinese woman named Yu E, a very gentle looking mother. She washes and washes in the restaurant on weekdays, taking care of her son and husband. She is also very welcome to Lisko’s guest. I also want to see what my son's friend looks like.
"Limbo, I brought something," Lisko opened the trunk to get the gifts down, and Lynch was greeting Megan.
"I'm here, what to bring," Lin Guozhong was a little surprised, the foreigner was quite familiar with Chinese etiquette.
"It's the rule to bring it," Lisko responded with a smile.
Several people took things into the restaurant.
The restaurant occupies three rooms and looks very spacious. The decoration is all in Chinese style. It looks no different from the domestic Northeast restaurant. The tables and chairs here have individual seats for two, and the stools of the other large tables are Lisko felt particularly cordial to see these long benches in China.
After entering the house, Lisko introduced Megan to everyone, "This is my girlfriend, Megan Fox. You can call her Megan."
Megan said hello in stumbling Chinese."Till you guys."
Liske and Lynch couldn't laugh at all.
After the trouble, Li Sike opened the gift introduction, "Lim Bo, I brought a few bottles of wine, you can see if it's true."
He took out Maotai and handed it over.
"Huh, good guy, Maotai." Lin Guozhong took it and took a good look. "Yes, it's true. It's a good thing now. It's a 98th anniversary commemorative. Now it's expensive for the old nose." Lin Guozhong couldn't put it down. .
Li Sike took out the remaining bottles again, and Lin Guozhong was even more excited now, holding his hand and talking non-stop."It's a waste, my nephew."
"It's okay. No one would drink it when I left it. It's serious when it comes to Lin Bo. Lin Bo keeps it and drinks it slowly. It's also given to me by someone else and it's worthless."
Li Ske was polite, and opened the big bag again, leaking the head of the elk, "This is the deer in my ranch. I will not do this. I will bring it over to pay the tuition for Lin Bo. I want to learn how to cook, so good. I won’t be able to use the ingredients for nothing."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I'm appointed to give you the old dick, this deer strong, venison supplement, I will stew it for you later, good ingredients."
Lin Guozhong lives here and has bought deer many times. He is also very good at cooking venison, so seeing deer is not as excited as he just came.
Li Sike gave Lin's mother Yu'e lavender essential oil and hydrosol. She was also very happy. Women love beauty, especially this hydrosol, which is very good for the skin. It is too expensive to buy this time, Li Si She also likes Ke to give such a precious one to her.
