Lisko’s American Life

The two chatted about recent developments, and Ben asked about Lisko's new book,

"I have already started writing. The type of this book is children's literature. I want to try to see the world from a child's point of view." Lisko did not hide it from Ben. The evaluation of him is, "an excellent restaurateur."

"Hey, if it weren't for the fact that your new book was released a little late this year and you had to wait until next year to apply, you would have won the Nobel this time." The award 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 life is still long. He holds a bunch of bombs in his hand. The Nobel is just the starting point of his life. literary world.

"Ben, what else do you like besides photography?" Lisko changed the subject,

"Fishing." Ben beamed a little when he said that. "I love the moment when I pull the fish out of the water. It feels so rewarding."

Speaking of this, Lisko became interested, "Have you ever tried Chinese fishing?"

"No," Ben had some doubts, isn't that what fishing is all about?

"Come on, let me show 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 in the Lisko Ranch was not frozen. Although the winter wind was biting, it was still sunny today.

Lisko was digging a hole on the bank with a small shovel.

"What are you doing?" Ben couldn't understand.

"The Chinese fishing method requires bait, and earthworms are the easiest bait to obtain. They believe that you have to pay to get something."

Lisko threaded the excavated earthworms in sections, and threw the hook into the lake. The lake in Lisko's house was still very deep, and it seemed that there was a water channel underground, connecting the big lake.

He threw the rice soaked in wine into the lake to make a nest, and sat quietly with a fishing rod in hand.

Ben also followed suit.

"Is that all? We just do nothing?"

"Yes, do you know about meditation and yoga? Chinese people regard fishing with them as a way of meditation. The catch is not important. The important thing is to calm down your troubled mind, sit by the lake and practice your patience. "

Following his example, Ben held the rod well, adjusted his breathing, and watched the wind blowing across the lake, bringing up layers of water waves. Suddenly, he felt a little refreshed in his heart, and the troubles in work and life seemed to disappear. All became quiet.

"It's really good, I'm enjoying it." Ben closed his eyes.

Lisko looked at him, really immersed in it, and then started his own fishing. He felt that Ben was very savvy. He also took the rooster and Colt to do this together. They were like monkeys who couldn’t sit still. Will scratch my ears and scratch my cheeks anxiously.

The breeze was blowing, Lisko and Ben were sitting side by side, the rooster looked at them from a distance, they were like a painting, the mood of meditation could affect others, and the surroundings seemed to be quiet.

"My fishing rod moved." Ben said in a calm tone.

Lisko stood up suddenly, "Pull the rod," he stepped forward and pulled up Ben's fishing rod. It was a crucian carp bigger than the palm of his hand.

"Didn't you say that the catch is not important?" Ben watched as Lisko jumped out of the quiet environment and pulled up the fishing rod from the flowing water. All this happened so quickly that he didn't realize it.

Lisko lamented that the fish was too small, so he took it off and threw it back into the lake, and strung up the bait.

"You calm down to fish, and then quickly pull the rod. This movement is the Yin and Yang of China."

The two stayed by the lake for a while, and then went back home. Although they didn't gain much, Ben still felt that he had learned a lot.

Lisko looked at the time, and it was almost time for dinner. There were guests at home, and today he couldn’t be fooled as casually as before. He was the owner of a restaurant, so Lisko made up his mind to show it off.

The dishes have been selected. The steamed egg dish has a smooth taste. It is the number one famous dish that has won unanimous praise from everyone I know, and it can be eaten with a spoon, so there is no need to worry about being clumsy with chopsticks.

There is also an eternal family recipe, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, with a sweet and sour taste, which fits their taste very well.

Then make fish head tofu soup, which is delicious, fragrant but not greasy.

The last dish is stewed potatoes with beef. Strictly speaking, this dish is not a Chinese specialty and can be eaten in many places.

After making up his mind, he started to work, and Ben was also helping.

Lisko also had vanity. He performed cutting vegetables with a kitchen knife in front of this American restaurant owner who didn’t understand Chinese food. Ben saw that he didn’t look at him. I won't get it, and let out a burst of exclamation. ,

The two were busy for a while, and soon a few dishes were ready.

Usually, Lisko just puts it on the plate and puts it on the plate. Today, he specially arranged the plate. Potatoes and beef are stewed into a thick soup. The soup is milky white and sprinkled with chopped green onion. , a bowl of steamed eggs is light yellow, with a cross drawn by Lisko on it, a few drops of soy sauce dripped in the middle, it looks very appetizing, tomato scrambled eggs are mixed with yellow and red tomatoes, this table is delicious all available.

"Okay, try it." Lisko picked up a plate to fill some rice, picked up a spoon and put it aside, poured some beef and potato soup on it, and handed it to Ben.

Ben smelled the aroma and was already a little hungry.

"Well~ it's great." Just after taking a sip, Ben's eyes lit up. He cooks food, and he didn't expect Lisko to have such a skill in cooking.

"You really know how to live." Ben had tasted the delicious fish soup and completely admired Lisko. The fish head in this question looked scary, so he mustered up his courage to try it. his taste.

‘Lisko just likes to see these people who have never seen the world are impressed by his cooking skills.

As Lisko expected, among these dishes, Ben liked the steamed eggs the most. The cowardly taste made him finish his own bowl, and took away Lisko's bowl.

The meal that you earned and I robbed was over, and the two of them rested on the sofa with their stomachs bulging.

Lisko was infected by the atmosphere, no wonder people said in the past that if someone robbed him, the food would be delicious.

After a short break, Ben still left, because his purchasing manager had already dealt with the contract matters. Although his restaurant had managers, there were still many things that required him, the big boss, to come forward.

"Lee, I had a great time today. I learned a lot," Ben looked at the wide pasture and Lisko, and really wanted to stay for two days.

"You made me want to be a rancher." Ben Tiao laughed.

"You are welcome to be a guest at any time." Lisko hugged him and sent him to the car for the return journey.
