Lisko's American life

"Wow~ this is very beautiful, I think many middle-aged Chinese women will carry this." Mary took it, a little bit fond of it.

Lisko wiped some lubricant on his hand, and carefully helped her to bring it on while explaining it to her.

"This bracelet is exquisitely round and thick, solemn and upright. It is suitable for middle-aged and elderly ladies. The bracelet is round and full. The outer circle, inner circle and ring circle can be said to be three circles in one. On the wrist, it can show the feminine temperament, and it can also ensure safety."

"That's it? Then I must take it well. This is the amulet given to me by Sko!" Mary held her hands by herself and scratched Lisko's nose with joy.

Berman snorted indifferently on the side, took out the newspaper next to him and began to tour absently, turning his eyes away from time to time to say his envy.

Mary and Liske smiled helplessly at each other.

After he got older, his personality became more and more like a child.

"Teacher, and your gift. This is a jade pendant that I chose. It can only be worn by people with status in ancient China. The E pattern on this jade pendant is a bamboo. In ancient China, bamboo represents the man of literature. The ethos and integrity, and the symbol of bamboo’s indomitability is also the code of conduct for literati."

Li Ske took out a white and gentle jade pendant and handed it to Bermaner Guanxiang, while explaining it to him.

"Ancient Chinese literati have loved jade since ancient times, not only because of the value of jade, but also because of the character of jade. The light of jade is inward rather than outward. The graceful look, the open-minded and unrestrained demeanor, does not reveal the edge. , No publicity, no great sadness, no paranoia, no madness, symbolizing that the state of life is showing a mature roundness here."

Berman suddenly came into contact with this unknown knowledge and showed great interest. After Lisko asked how to wear it, he hung it on his waist with joy, his body straightened, and he kept changing positions in the mirror. It can be seen that Yu Pei is still very popular with him, not to mention that it contains so many principles, which is even more appealing to him.

Both of these items were bought by Lisko last time during a trip in China, and they were genuine products bought in a regular big brand jade shop. Although they are not antiques, they are modern works of art, hand-crafted, but because of material problems, they are flowers. It’s a lot of money for Lisko, but seeing that Mary and Berman like it so much is worth the price.

Lisko gave some of the small things he carried with him, such as some small accessories made of inferior jade, and special fans, to everyone in the castle, and everyone liked it very much.

Lisko purchased a lot of these things as small gifts for friends and visitors on weekdays when he traveled. The mysterious special things of the ancient oriental country are still very available and popular with everyone, so Lisko has always been a headache The gift-giving problem is solved.

In the United States, friends and relatives give gifts to each other is a very good atmosphere. Everyone will give something that is not necessarily very valuable to show closeness. If it is a meal as a guest, they will give a bottle of wine or a homemade dish.

Soon it was dinner time. Lisko had a meal at the castle. Dinner was steak, fried chicken breast, a salmon, fried chicken with mashed potatoes, and finally a clam chowder.

Mary's craftsmanship is still so good. Although there are cooks in the castle, Mary still likes to cook occasionally. When she is fine, she also likes to study food. But I have to say that the craftsmanship is very good. Lisko and his brothers have come to society At dinner parties, we sometimes talk about the delicious dishes Mary made.

Li Sike served some clam chowder. I thought it would be unsuitable for this taste, but I didn't expect it to taste very good. It not only tastes of seafood, but also tastes of butter.

Grilled salmon is a traditional dish that comes from Native American habits. It is cooked on cedar planks over an open flame and is infused with the smoky flavor of wood.

Lisko cut a piece and tasted it. It was squeezed with some lemon on it, with a lemon scent. The fat on the belly of the fish was selected. It tasted smooth and not wood, and it also had a special fragrance of spices and herbs.

"Okay," Berman knocked on the wall of the cup and everyone stopped eating, looking at him, waiting for his words.

"Everyone raise their glasses." Everyone followed his movements and raised their glasses.

"Welcome Sco home," he said these words in silence for a while.

"Welcome Sco home."

"welcome....."

When the teacher said something that was not in line with his usual, Lisko looked at everyone around him who signaled to him, the cook, the gardener, the doorman, the maid, and Mary. The circles of his eyes turned red uncontrollably, and he followed them and took a drink Of red wine.

After dinner, Lisko followed his tutor to the library.

At the beginning, this library was just a study room. For Bermaner’s work and research, materials and books were constantly added. There were more and more books in the back, from the original one to the two and three in the back.

When the castle was built later, he deliberately reserved a large part of the open space to build this library. Friends and colleagues knew that he was collecting books. Whenever he encountered any books he hadn't seen, he would buy a copy and give it to him.

By the time Lisko was in school, this library had already covered millions of books of various types, and the bookshelves were added and added. Only you can’t think of it. There is no such library. Berman gave this library specially. Equipped with three maintainers, this library is also well-known in American literature.

The library also collects a lot of rare orphaned documents, which are usually bought at big auctions, which consumes a lot of Berman's money and time.

Li Sike is walking among the towering bookshelves, smelling the fragrance of books floating, and his soul is really shocked. From here, I can see every step of human development and civilization. There are ancient murals with rubbings, and the beginning of civilization. Words and pictures, records of every step of development, anyone standing here will feel small.

"Sco, I have collected some of your books in the library." Berman watched his students stand in the sea of ​​books obsessively from behind, reminding him.

The collection of contemporary literary works in this library is very few. His inclusion of Lisko's three books is the greatest recognition and praise for Lisko.

Lisko followed the instructor slowly to the last bookshelf, where a category was handwritten on it, and "Lisko's Collection" was written in vigorous and powerful handwriting.

Li Sike was really shocked after seeing it.

"I think you will become a great writer, so I made a bookshelf specially for someone to do, and every book will be included here, and it will record every step you take on the road to literature." Berman patted. His shoulders said with emotion.
