Lisko's American life
Chapter 84 New House (Thanks to Yu Qingling for the reward)
After staying in the ranch for a few days, Yashin took some short stories and poems written by Lisko these days and returned to New York with satisfaction. Of course, there was Lubo who was reluctant to leave. Of course, he refused to leave because the ranch can be unscrupulous. Eat steak and snacks.
However, the cultural company is busy, and several phone calls have been urged. There is no way, only to follow Yashin with a dull face.
The manuscripts Lisko gave to Yashin include Jack London’s "Before Adam" and "Love Life", as well as the classic O Henry’s "Last Leaf", "The Gift of Maggie", and Lisko’s and Yashin’s explanations It was written in his spare time before, and Yashin is certainly not picky. From the perspective of his twenty-year editing, they are all excellent products.
The poems use Cummins's, because most of the short poems of this poet are about love, which is in line with what Lisko can write at his age.
After sending off the guests, Lisko also began to pack his bags and arrange things, preparing for his own trip.
This time Lisko planned to go to Iceland, known as the "land of the gods", because it has the purest air and water in the world, as well as the best hot springs.Or because Iceland is a mysterious country: Compared to other Nordic countries, Iceland looks very primitive, and people and nature are very close.
There are a lot of things to bring, such as a change of clothes, a passport, a first aid kit and an indispensable camera.
Because it is the beginning of June, Lisko checked the guide, the temperature in Iceland is 7-12 degrees throughout the summer, so the jacket is still to be carried.
To Iceland, you can fly to Reykjavík via Icelandair via Frankfurt. The famous attractions Blue Lagoon and Ice Spring City are nearby.
Lisko’s time for this tour is a bit late. If it is between January and March earlier, you can arrange skating, ice fishing, snowmobiles and off-road hunting trips in Reykjavik. .
The rooster cares about things on the ranch, and there is no need for Lisko to be too careful. The longer it takes, the more Lisko feels that it was a wise decision to ask the rooster to work.
The investment company's affairs are also proceeding according to plan. As long as the US Treasury Department announces the takeover on September 7th, it can appear before the takeover. Lisko's plan is to completely withdraw in mid-August and not eat the last piece of meat to avoid being stuck.
Lisko was also observing news from across the ocean, and the Olympics were in full swing. The devastating disaster in my memory did not happen, and Lisko's heart was relieved.
There is another important event. Lisko arranged for the cowboys to move the villa he currently lives in after he left, intending to level up and build a larger estate, because it is estimated that Lisko will spend most of the rest of his life here. After spending time, he is not willing to go to those first-tier cities to live with others, so he plans to renovate his residence.
I have always had this idea, and there has never been a good time. Lisko’s villa was built by his father many years ago. Although the house is very strong, the decoration and style have shown a little shabby.
I took the opportunity of this trip to take care of this, and I can live in a new house directly when I come back, seamlessly.
If you want to speed up the construction speed, the construction companies of these great men in the United States are not allowed. Their timekeeping is more than three months. Of course Lisko can't wait, and the craftsmanship is not very reassuring. Up.
Lisko went to the Continental Construction Company branch in Colorado and reported the time for a little over a month. Lisko had already invited the person in charge and the designer to come to negotiate and inspect the site.
The appointed time came soon, Lisko saw a car coming in from the gate of the ranch, and went downstairs to greet him.
"Hey, I'm Lisko, welcome."
Li Ske's Chinese did not cause much fluctuation. The guests were two middle-aged men with yellow skin and black hair, who introduced themselves.
"Hello, Mr. Li, I am Wen Liang, the person in charge of the company, and this is our designer Sun Qi."
Li Sike stepped forward to shake hands.
The two visitors had checked Lisko’s specific information before. This was the basic method they could use to place orders. They knew that the customer this time was a well-known young writer with a high status in the American literary world and found it. Lisko has Chinese descent, so he was not surprised by his Chinese.
"We read from the information that Mr. Li is proficient in Chinese and is a linguistic genius. I saw it today, and I thought he was back in China." Wen Liang, as the person in charge, of course began to greet him. Sun Qi kept looking at the removal after shaking hands The rebuilt house can be seen as an unsocial professional.
"Go, enter the house." Lisko led the guests into the house and poured tea.
"This is Chinese green tea from a friend. You can taste it."
Of course Wen Liang was full of praise. After the greetings, Li Sike entered the topic.
"You have also seen this task. The house is built by my father many years ago, and it has some history, but it is a bit crowded now. I often need to receive guests here, and I am facing the situation of insufficient rooms."
Wen Liang looked around and saw that although Lisko's design and decoration are very artistic, it still cannot hide the dilapidation of the house.
"My requirement is to build quickly. We have communicated this issue on the phone, and it must be firm. During the acceptance, I will ask the evaluation company to accept it. Because of the weather here, I don't want to connect the house any day. Was scraped away with people."
Lisko took a sip of tea and joked.
"Don't worry, our requirement of ourselves is to be firm." Wen Liang put down the cup and patted his chest straight.
Sun Qi on one side spoke, "Mr. Li, how big is your area?"
If there is only such a large area, reconstruction is meaningless, and the area is not expanded, and the room is still not enough.
"No, no, no, I bought two acres at the back of the room, so adding the current land area, I have already drawn the approximate area, and I will show you around later." Behind the ranch is unmanned land, Lisko His villa is in the innermost part of the ranch, and he bought it before handing in the town in advance.
The two looked around again and took pictures of the range and terrain with their cameras.
Lisko kept walking around, talking about his ideas, and these requirements would be absorbed when designing the house.
What Lisko wants most is a greenhouse flower house, which can also be on the top of the building. As for the type of house, he still prefers the kind of castle of his mentor. Of course, modern elements should be added, and it should not be so big and so. Many rooms.
Li Ske has always been very greedy for the library of his tutor’s home, and he has decided to get one himself. For him, he has to pay nothing but money, but he has not used his income much before, and just put it into his own. Love body.
An agreement with the construction company to receive the design drawings by mail, Lisko bid farewell to the two.
