Lisko's American life
Chapter 47
The two chatted a little bit about the recent situation. Ben asked about Lisko’s new book.
"I have started writing. This book is a children's literature. I want to try to see the world from a child's point of view." Lisko did not hide Ben. Ben’s dream is to become a writer. But how can I put it, Lisko His evaluation is, "An excellent restaurant owner."
"Hey, if it wasn't for the late release of your new book this year, you can only apply for next year, and you will definitely get the Nobel Prize. "Ben was a little bit arrogant for Lisko. In early December this year, the literature had already been issued. The prize was won by a writer from Germany.
"It's okay," Lisko didn't feel any sense of loss. It's been a long time, and his life is still long. He holds a bunch of king bombs in his hand. Nobel is just the starting point in his life. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of the dazzling past life. Literary world.
"Ben, what do you like besides photography?" Lisko changed the subject.
"Fishing." Ben said that this was a bit ecstatic, "I like the moment I pull the fish out of the water, it's full of rewards."
Speaking of this, Lisko became interested, "Have you tried Chinese fishing methods?"
"No," Ben has some doubts, isn't it all about fishing?
"Come on, I'll take you to try." Lisko went to the storage room to get the fish tank and other utensils.
The two came to the lake. The lake of Liskoe Ranch was not frozen. Although the winter wind was biting, there was still some sun today.
Lisko was digging a hole on the shore with a small spade.
"What are you doing?" Ben couldn't understand.
"Chinese fishing methods look for bait. Earthworms are the easiest bait. They believe that you have to pay to reap."
Lisko put the dug out earthworms in sections and threw the hooks into the lake. The lake at Lisko's house was still very deep, as if there were water channels under the ground linking the big lake.
He threw the soaked rice into the lake to make a nest, and sat quietly holding a fishing rod.
This book also followed the lessons.
"That's it? We just do nothing like this?"
"Yes, do you know about meditation and yoga? The Chinese regard fishing with them as a way of meditation. The catch is not important. The important thing is to calm your troubled heart, sit by the lake, and practice your patience. "
I learned his way, holding the rod, adjusting my breathing, watching the wind blowing across the lake, bringing up layers of water, suddenly I feel a little refreshed in my heart, the troubles in work and life seem to have disappeared, the whole person All became quiet.
"It's really good, I feel really enjoying it." Ben closed his eyes.
Li Ske looked at him, really immersed in it, and then started his own fishing. He felt that he was very savvy. He also took a rooster and Colt to do this together. They were like monkeys that couldn't sit still. Will scratch his head and head anxiously.
With the breeze blowing, Lisko and Ben were sitting side by side, the rooster looking at them from a distance, they were like a painting, and their meditative mood could affect others, and everything seemed to be quiet.
"My fishing rod moved." Ben said in a calm tone.
Lisko stood up, "Tie Rod," he stepped forward and pulled Ben's fishing rod up. It was a crucian carp that was bigger than his palm.
"Didn't you say that the catch is not important?" Ben watched Lisko jump out of the quiet environment and pull the fishing rod from the flowing water. He didn't react when all this happened.
Lisko regretted that the fish was too small, so he took it down and threw it back into the lake to string the bait.
"You settle down and fish, and then quickly pull the rod. This static movement is China's yin and yang."
The two stayed by the lake for a while, and then went home. Although there was nothing to gain, Ben felt that they had learned a lot.
Li Ske checked the time, and it was almost time for dinner. The guests were coming from home. Today, I can't just fool around like before. He was the owner of a restaurant, and Li Sko made up his mind to show it.
The dishes have been selected. The steamed egg dish has a smooth taste and is the number one famous dish that everyone knows. It can be eaten with a spoon, so you don't have to be clumsy and can't hold chopsticks.
There are also family recipes forever, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, sweet and sour taste, very in line with their taste.
Then make a fish head tofu soup, which is delicious, fragrant and not greasy.
The last is beef stew with potatoes. Strictly speaking, this dish is not a Chinese specialty. It is eaten in many places.
After making up his mind, he started to get busy, and Ben was also battling to start.
Li Ske also had vanity. He performed a chopping knife in front of this American restaurant owner who didn’t understand Chinese food. I saw that he didn’t look at his eyes. The chopper cut things thinly and evenly. Will not get hands, exclaimed.,
The two were busy for a while, and soon a few dishes were ready.
Lisko usually puts things on the plate at will. Today, I specially set the plate. The potatoes and beef are stewed into a thick soup, the soup is milky white, and the top is sprinkled with green onions. The white is mixed with green, which is very poetic. A bowl of steamed eggs is light yellow. Lisko crosses the top, and a few drops of soy sauce are dripped in the middle. It looks very appetizing. The yellow and red tomatoes are mixed with tomatoes. Complete.
"Okay, taste it," Lisko picked up a plate with some rice, took a spoon and put it aside, and poured some beef stewed potato soup on it, and handed it to Ben.
Ben smelled the scent and was a little hungry.
"Um~ it's great." Ben's eyes lit up just after taking a bite. He does food and drink, and he didn't expect Li Sko to have such a culinary skill.
"You really know how to live." Ben had tasted the delicious fish soup and completely admired Lisko. The fish head in this question looked terrifying. He mustered up the courage to give it a try. He didn't expect the taste to be particularly suitable. His taste.
'Li Sike likes to see those who have never seen the world are impressed by his cooking skills.
As Lisko had expected, the favorite of these dishes was steamed eggs. The cowardly taste made him finish his bowl and took away Lisko's bowl.
The meal you earned and I grabbed was over, and the two of them were resting on the sofa with their stomachs up.
Li Sike was infected by the atmosphere, no wonder people said before that someone rushed to eat and it was delicious.
After taking a break, Ben still left, because his purchasing manager has already handled the contract. Although his restaurant has managers, there are still many things that require his big boss to come forward.
"Lee, I had a great time today. I learned a lot," Ben looked at the wide pasture and Lisko, really wanting to live for two days.
"You make me feel like I want to be a rancher." Ben sneered.
"You are welcome to be a guest at any time." Lisko hugged him and drove him to the return car.
