Lisko's American life

Lisko waited in the house after washing up. He also prepared two bottles of Icelandic specialty fruit gin, which suits his taste very well, so he also purchased a portion and mailed it home for collection.

After everything was ready, I picked up the book on the shelf and flipped through it.

Hilton has bookshelves in every room with four or five books to pass the time for the guests. Lisko saw his two books "Blood Road" and "The Catcher in the Rye" inside, and his heart was still a bit ecstatic. Contented.

Li Sike elsewhere will also hear others discuss the books he has published in the past few years, and listen to other people's comments and praise for his literary talent, and will secretly enjoy himself.

Lisko now reads a book by a German writer. It is about the love story between East Germany and West Germany during the Berlin Wall era. The writing style is very good. The emotional part of the writing attracted his interest. Yesterday Having read part of it, Lisko planned to finish the book before going back.

Although some literary masterpieces have been erased in time and space and a pair of invisible hands, the development of literature in this world is not inferior, and many outstanding literati have also emerged. Li Sko often reads these books that he has not read. .

"Boom boom boom"

Seeing the fascination, Lisko heard the knock on the door, he got up to mark, folded the part he saw and put it back on the bookshelf, got up and opened the door.

Outside the door was the taciturn Barton, his dress still meticulous.

"We are all ready, shall we go together?"

With his unique London accent, Patton's attitude is still as close as ever.

Lisko nodded, although he was puzzled as to why Patton called to himself, he still took the prepared fruit gin and followed in front of Patton.

It seems that Lisko's doubts can be seen, "Jayne will go down and buy some beer, and Isabella will go to the kitchen to get some snacks."

After talking about Li Sike, I probably understood, only Button and the shy Salis were left, and it was Button who came forward to call himself.

Speaking of which, Chinese people like to drink with wine, other countries are the same, but the British prefer to drink with widows, that is, they don’t pair with anything. That is the habit of ordinary British drinking, and the rich second generation will definitely not be like this. consider.

Lisko followed into the room, which was a large suite with luxurious decoration, which seemed much more expensive than Lisko's.

As soon as I came in, I saw Salis, still the same big-frame glasses, but wore a white dress, and sat on the sofa after greeted Lisko.

The three sat down separately, and none of them spoke. Lisko is not a person who likes to find topics. He knows his problem, so he rarely deals with unfamiliar people.

Not to mention the other two people, so the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.

"Ah." Button couldn't hold back a bit, he had to say something to make the atmosphere lively. Good education does not allow him to leave the guests in a daze.

"Lee, what do you do in America?"

Lisko was still relieved at Button's first opening, and he also felt like sitting on pins and needles.

"I am a rancher,"

"Rancher? Cows and sheep?"

Barton thought he had found a good topic, and he planned to use it to get other people back, so he continued to ask.

"Yes," Lisko didn't know what to say, so he could only reply dryly. No one didn't even know what the ranch did, right?

Button didn't know how to answer the conversation, and the three of them returned to their previous atmosphere, but it was even more embarrassing.

But Lisko's age is relatively one year older.

"Barton, what does the family do? I think you look like a nobleman?"

"My family is the Cordo family. In Powys, Wales, my ancestor is the Viscount Cordo."

Li Sike was a little surprised. The Viscount can say that his family has a lot of money. In general, families like them are very financially rich. After all, they have developed for so many years, such as roads, railways, water and electricity in the UK, these public enterprises that benefit the people are these. The nobles are in control, and many large companies have their shares.

Although in many places, the heirs to the British titles went bankrupt and auctioned off their ancestors and castles, making everyone think that the nobles were having a miserable life, but that was very rare, and no one would have a prodigal.And many media channels are also in the hands of nobles.

In the early days of businessmen who wanted to develop with peace of mind, they would offer shares to the nobles in order to obtain protection. Even if they went bankrupt, a lean camel was bigger than a horse, and a broken ship still had three catties of nails.

"Where's Salis?" Lisko also pulled her into the topic circle in order to avoid her being left out.

"Ah? Me? My family is in Dawn County, Ireland. My family is not a nobleman," he was already blushing after saying this.

Li Sike doesn't know if she has social barriers or is really just shy, it seems that she is really not suitable for communication.

"Come and see what I got?"

Isabella's voice came from the door. At this time, the three of them all breathed a sigh of relief, and they could finally end these awkward conversations.

Isabella carried a large tray full of food.

Li Sike was close, and quickly picked it up, as if she was about to fall when she looked swaying.

"But I'm exhausted." After Lisko set up the table, she sat down on the sofa, panting.

Lisko looked at the food. There were many varieties, including olives, pistachios, pretzels, French fries, meats such as ham and fried chicken.There is also a strange-looking cake.

"The variety is very rich." Lisko exclaimed.

"Of course, I have been busy for a long time," Isabella's work was confirmed, and the joy was all reflected in her face.

"By the way, don't you know this cake? It's a British characteristic. I borrowed the kitchen to make it myself. It's called Eaton Max."

Lisko looked very much like the cupcakes he saw in the cake shop in his previous life.

"My Eaton Max is made of strawberries, cream and orange juice. It originated from the aristocratic school of Windsor, Eton College. On the campus open day of Eton College, a Labrador was sitting on a picnic with its owner. On the blanket, the owner’s strawberry cream meringue was squashed to create Eaton Max. This dessert is very suitable for summer and is a feature of our UK."

I didn't see it, Isabella still has this craft, but drinking and eating cakes always feel weird. He still likes to eat salty food and drink.

"Is this the wine you brought? It's actually gin?"

She was a little surprised holding the bottle Lisko had brought over.

Although this bottle of gin was bought locally in Iceland, the United Kingdom is the one who drank the most of this type of wine, which is a major producer of this type of wine.

"I bought this in the small town of Vic. The juniper berries here are very rich in taste. This one has mint, samphire, eucalyptus leaves, laurel and lavender flavors. It is soft and together. I bought a lot and prepared to collect it. In my wine cellar."
