Lisko's American life

Colt is weaving holly branches into a wreath, which is used to hang on the gate, and the rooster steps on a ladder to hang a bunch of parasites from the ceiling.

The dinner was ready quickly. Lisko helped bring the delicious dishes to the table and opened a bottle of Huazhuang wine that he brought specially, which was produced by a famous winery on the right bank of Bordeaux.

The family sits down, Bo sits first, Rooster and Lisko are on the right, Maggie and Colt are on the left.

Bo first closed his eyes and folded his hands, placed his chin in silent prayer.

Although no one in the family believes in religion, this is a rare special occasion on this birth day.

After Bo prayed, watching the family sitting neatly together, I was very relieved and happy.

"Come on, to the family." Bo held up the wine glass, because his injury was not healed, so it was filled with water.

The family toasted.

"To the family."

Li Sike was also a little emotional, and his eye circles were quietly red.

Everyone put down their wine glasses and started to eat. Turkey is an indispensable food on the table. Maggie specially selected one of the largest turkeys. A lot of fruits and vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, chestnuts, etc. were stuffed into ten pounds. In the belly of the turkey, put a variety of spices on the surface before roasting.

Lisko looked at the roasted golden chicken, drooling.

There are also tree trunk cakes on the table. The tree trunk-like cake is a famous French Christmas delicacy.

Before the invention of electricity, the French gave a good firewood as a Christmas gift.The French are very popular, and even the origins of food are romantic: there was a young man who couldn't afford Christmas presents. He picked up a piece of wood in the forest and gave it to his lover. Not only did he win his heart, but he also stayed flat.Therefore, the trunk cake has also become a symbol of good luck in the coming year.

There are also polenta with a special American flavor, grilled polenta with a layer of cream on top and some fruits.This is a very good dessert that can pick up the greasy turkey meat well.

Everyone was having a happy dinner between talking and laughing. Lisko liked the roast turkey dish very much, probably because he was a meatless person. The meat of turkey was fresh and tender, without mutton and smell, and the taste was pure and delicious. The aroma of the oven roasted into the meat.

The protein content of turkey is 20% higher than other poultry, while the fat content is 21% lower, and the cholesterol content is low, easy to manage, strong fecundity, high meat production rate, high input-output ratio, it is a herbivore, and concentrates Rarely, we raise and eat green grass normally, Lisko has decided to raise some of his own pasture next year, and it is fine to make some roast chicken by himself.

After dinner, Maggie's drinking volume is still not good as always, which is strange. She is from a winemaking family, and she has opened the only tavern in town, but she can't drink enough.

She was sitting a little drunk and confused, Lisko greeted the rooster to put the tableware back in the kitchen, and it was the most surprising part of Christmas, giving each other gifts.

Li Sike first gave out his gift, because the gift box was tied up under the Christmas tree with a beautiful cable tie in advance, and Li Sike also wrote his name in advance.

"Bo, this is for you." Lisko gave Bo a long gift box with an English high-grade walking stick in it.

Bo opened the gift box and fell in love with it at a glance. Americans have always despised the British, while secretly learning their various aristocratic etiquette. The walking stick is an indispensable equipment for a British gentleman. This walking stick is made of black walnut. Yes, the tail of the stick has also been engraved with Bo's name, and the top of the stick is also inlaid with a turquoise stone from Turkey. This is a low-grade gemstone. The inlaid is very harmonious. The height of the stick is just in line with Bo's height.

Bo took this cane and loved it. Lisko noticed it a long time ago. In order to keep his waist straight, Bo often squatted on the ground with a stick, so he specially customized it in a famous brand cane shop in the UK.

I was very satisfied with Bo. Lisko gave a gift from Colt. It was a DV camera. Now Colt has the intention to develop into a video broadcaster. Although Lisko lent him one, he is not himself after all. Yes, Colt used it very carefully many times, so Lisko simply bought a new one and gave it to him.

Sony HDR-SR1E is a trendy DV camera just released this year. Lisko didn't understand it. He read the electronic magazine and rated this camera as one of the best of the year.

Colt was also surprised. Originally, he planned to buy one by himself some time later. This one was also among his favorite objects, but the price was a bit high, so some retreated. He stepped forward and hugged Lisko.

"Thank you, great gift. I love it."

Behind is Maggie's gift. Lisko didn't know what to give her. After hearing about her ideal, he decided.

Maggie opened the gift box, it was very light, she was still joking."Lee, would you give me a check? It feels like a piece of paper."

After unpacking, there is a card inside.

The logo of Citibank is printed on it.

"This is a customized service I asked for Citibank. It didn't cost me any money. However, within the scope of my annual service, this card allows you to go to any hotel in the United States to check in and have a meal. In an emergency, you can also take him to the bank for five. Ten thousand U.S. dollars limit, so that you travel alone, we will be at ease, and this card with a positioning chip, we can always know where you have traveled."

This gift happened to be used by Maggie, and in the end it was the gift of the rooster. The gift of the rooster was really hard to imagine. He was Lisko’s ranch manager.

"Rooster, this is your gift, I carefully selected it specially,"

The box is about the same size as Maggie's, and the rooster is also looking forward to what Lisko will give him.

He opened the box, and there was a card inside. On it was the gas card for the biggest gas station in Denver.

"This gas card allows you to refuel for free for a whole year," Lisko couldn't think of any gift to give him, but the rooster loves to drive and loves his new car, so give him a gas card.

Then Li Sike also opened the Christmas gifts they gave him. Bo gave him a somewhat worn-out lighter.

"Your father gave this to me before, but he returned it to me after we had a conflict. This is a testimony of my friendship with your father. Now I transfer it to you."

This is a pure copper old Zippo lighter left over during the Vietnam War, with the name of Garrison town printed on it, Lisko solemnly put it away.

Maggie gave a great handmade riding whip. Recently, she saw Lisko riding more and more times. She often rode a white horse to and from the two ranches, so she chose an exquisite riding whip to give him.

What Colt prepared was a signed basketball with the signature "Big Shark" O'Neal. Lisko also liked this gift.

The gift of the rooster is in a photo album, which is full of photos of Lisko and Colt the rooster. They are arranged according to their ages. After seeing them from the past, they can see the three of them growing up little by little. It is very memorable. I don’t even have this album, it should have been collected for a long time.
