Lisko's American life

"My brother and I are very close, we are friends, it's okay to help each other."

Jacob here has already taken out the contract he has prepared. Once the amount is filled in, it's over. This is a two-year contract.

Lisko took it over and flipped it over. It was a very usual rental contract.

Handed it to Zhang Li, Zhang Li hesitated again and again, and did not reject Lisko's kindness, and filled in his own name.

After Zhang Li put away his luggage, he followed Lisko downstairs to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.

The two walked into the Denver campus.

As a first-class national university in the United States, the University of Denver is best known for its inclusiveness. It has more than 1,200 students, 54% of which are women and 46% are men.The composition of students is also very diverse. In addition to coming from 50 states in the United States, but also from more than 100 countries around the world, Lisko has just seen Nordic, British, and Asian students.

The entire university covers an area of ​​800 acres and the campus environment is also very beautiful. Crimson is the main color. With the unique sunshine, blue sky and white clouds, and the Rocky Mountains in the distance, Denver is a famous ski resort in the United States. , The surrounding high-altitude mountainous areas are covered with snow almost all year round.The snow-capped mountains that you can see from the campus add a unique charm to the campus.

In addition, Lisko has seen several groups of guards and campus police patrolling in the college, and safety can still be guaranteed.

"It's great here." Li Ske looked at the bustling students and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

"It's not bad." Zhang Li was full of joy thinking that he would spend two years in this beautiful campus.

"Let's go, let's buy something, and I will invite you to have hot pot." Zhang Li looked at Li Sike.

"Hot pot?" Lisko immediately appeared in his mind, and the drool in his mouth secreted wildly.

"Yes, when I came, my mother filled me with a few packets of Chongqing hot pot ingredients."

"Walk around." Li Sike couldn't remember how long he hadn't eaten hot pot.

There are several Buddhas near the university and several Asian supermarkets, such as Pacific Supermarket. In this Supermarket, there are all kinds of seasonings, fresh vegetables, pots and pans.There is also a large Korean supermarket, H-Mart, where you can buy everything you usually need for cooking.Denver has restaurants of various cuisines, such as: Cantonese roast meat, Taiwanese, Sichuan, Vietnamese noodles, Japanese sushi, Korean barbecue and so on.

Li Ske pushed the shopping cart and followed Zhang Li, watching her put it in the car while muttering.

"Wow, an egg costs 9 cents. A chicken leg costs a few cents, and a catty of rice is 0.42 yuan. Purified water, 24 bottles sells for 3.99 yuan, and each bottle is 0.166 yuan. The piglet knuckle costs one or two yuan per pound, and the whole roast chicken It’s only $4.99. It’s too cheap here."

Zhang Li couldn't help but exclaimed. She is not the kind of delicate girl who doesn't touch the water. When she is at home at school, she often visits the vegetable market, so she still understands the general prices.

So the list price of American supermarkets really scared her. She didn't expect the meat here to be so cheap.

So I kept putting it in the car, as if I was rushing to buy it.

"Don't take it." Lisko stopped her from crying and laughing.

"We can't finish this much, it will break, and the price will not change much. You can buy it next time you need it."

"Okay," Zhang Li looked back, only to realize that he was full of a car.

Reluctantly putting back a lot of things, Lisko helped. Just the eggs, he took five boxes, each with 16 boxes.

Pork bones, beef, lamb, broccoli, small octopus, garlic, and seasonings, hairy belly.

The hairy belly is the most expensive of them, and it costs more than 20 dollars for a hairy belly.

I also bought a drink, six bottles of canned Coke only cost 2.49 US dollars.

Zhang Li seemed to have opened up his desire to shop, he had to check the price of everything he saw, and then exclaimed, picking it up and putting it in the car.

Keep repeating this process.

She reluctantly walked out of the shopping area until she had bought the toiletries she needed.

The two of them carried the packed shopping bags and transported them back and forth several times before they took everything upstairs.

Li Ske collapsed on the sofa and didn't want to move, Zhang Li kept putting the drinks and food he bought in the refrigerator, putting on the apron he just bought, and tied up his hair.

"Well, you rest, I'm going to cook."

"I'll help you," Lisko certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity to brush up on his goodwill, and jumped from the sofa.

"Will you?" Zhang Li looked at him suspiciously, not believing in his eyes.

She knows that Li Sike can eat hot pot, and people have talked about Chinese food, but she doesn't believe it when she says she can do it.

"Don't underestimate me, I will make the sauce."

"Then you try." Zhang Li looked at Li Sike who ran into the kitchen with a smile, and shook his head speechlessly.

Considering that I have to cook often, I just bought pots and kitchen utensils in the supermarket.

Zhang Li blanched the pig bones in water, skimmed the blood foam, then picked them up, put them in another pot, added seasonings, and boiled over the fire.

Lisko here cuts the beef and lamb into slices, arranges the plate, and washes and arranges the hairy belly and small octopus greens.

Garlic, chili, green onion, coriander, cut into froth, add seasoning and sesame paste specially bought by Zhang Li.

"Look, how?" Lisko took the sauce he made and asked Zhang Li enthusiastically.

"Yes, you foreigner is pretty good." Zhang Li was surprised that Li Sko's craftsmanship was good.

Lisko smiled mysteriously and went to the restaurant with the prepared dishes.

Soon, the pork bone soup was ready, Zhang Li took out the pot and took out the induction cooker he had prepared.

"It smells so good." Lisko smelled the aroma in the air, drooling.

"It's not done yet." Zhang Li patted his hand that he wanted to get a piece of, and said in an anguish.

I opened the hot pot base brought from China and poured it into the pork bone soup. The pork bone was fried by Zhang Li.

"Grumbling." The water boiled quickly, and Lisko set the tableware.

"Okay," Zhang Li opened the Coke and placed it on Lisko on the opposite side.

"Can I eat a piece of meat first?" Lisko kept looking at the big bones outcropping in the red soup.

"Okay, let's eat." Zhang Li looked at the greedy ghost he was about to get into the pot, and replied irritably.

With permission, Lisko picked up a piece of pork bone like a starving ghost, dipped it with the sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hmm~" This long-lost taste really made him want to cry happy.

In his previous life, his favorite food was hot pot. After a busy day of work, it was his happiest time of the day to cook hot pot with his colleagues and friends in the food stall and drink beer.

Now in the United States, she doesn't know how long she hasn't eaten hot pot. Looking at Zhang Li opposite, she really feels like she's in a previous life.

"What are you looking at?" Li Sko's gaze annoyed Zhang Li, and she stared at him pretendingly.

"No. Your craftsmanship is great, completely beyond my expectations."

Zhang Li, who was praised, also began to smile, and put some cooked ribs in Lisko's bowl.

"Looking at your unseen look, many of my friends around me cook better than me."
