Lisko’s American Life

Chapter 84 First Arrival in Iceland (Thank you, Emperor Ziye, for your reward on 911)

Tell me something good, Lisko is also planning to go on the road. Although the rooster is very busy, he still finds time to send Lisko to the airport.

"Okay, let's go here." Lisko got out of the car and took out his luggage from the back.

Rooster leaned against the car door, watching Lisko smooth out the wrinkles in his clothes while riding in the car.

"You have to keep an eye on me while repairing the house, and send me an email if you have anything to do." Lisko knew that he would take care of everything about the ranch, but he was a little worried about building the house, so he still had to ask.

"Do not worry."

The two people who were already familiar with each other didn't have those common customs. Lisko walked directly to the airport and waved his hand to indicate that the rooster could go back.

When he got on the plane, he was still in the familiar first-class cabin, and Lisko would not be stingy with himself in these respects.

After taking his seat, Lisko was not in the mood to communicate with the people in the same cabin.

Close your eyes and sleep a little.

The destination this time is Reykjavik Airport in Iceland, Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland.

After an eight-hour flight, Lisko didn't fall asleep on the plane. Even though he was sitting all the time, he was exhausted.

Lisko got off the plane, it was already night in Iceland, Lisko changed some Icelandic Krona at the airport, and waved a taxi with his luggage.

The main language in Iceland is Icelandic, and due to its unique geographical location and the constant stream of tourists from all over the world every year, English can also be communicated here.

The airport is about an hour's drive away from the city. Lisko was so sleepy that he fell asleep in the car. Fortunately, Lisko told the driver very clearly the name of the hotel, and he can be delivered directly to the hotel without further ado. Toss, the day is finally over.

The hotel that Lisko booked this time was the hotel chain Reykjavik Consurat Hotel under Hilton. Since Lisko is a senior member of this hotel, he showed his membership card at the front desk and was easily accepted. brought to the room.

When walking past the front desk, Lisko also took a promotional poster of the hotel.

It says the hotel is about a 5 minute walk from Harpa Concert Hall and offers a health spa, free fitness center, restaurant and lobby bar.

Each room at the hotel is fitted with a balcony, a private bathroom, a seating area and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels.

A continental breakfast is served daily.

Lisko is still very satisfied with the environment, but what is more urgent in his heart is to take a hot bath to get rid of fatigue, then order dinner and sleep comfortably.

Give a tip of ten dollars to the hotel staff who helped carry the luggage, and ask him to go to the front desk to ask for dinner.

Lisko took out his change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

There was a bathtub in the bathroom, Lisko filled it with bath water, and when his skin touched the hot water, he groaned comfortably.

"Well~"

The soaking in hot water quickly made him feel tired all over his body. After cleaning his body, Lisko dried his hair and walked into the room.

Wearing a bathrobe, just about to sit down and watch TV when the door rang.

"sir?"

Lisko opened the door, and there was a dining car outside. The waiter helped push it in, looking at Lisko with a smile.

When it came time to tip again, Lisko tried to avoid using the Icelandic coins he exchanged, so he had to give Zhang US dollars again.

After the waiter left, Lisko was in the mood to eat.

The dinner delivered was very sumptuous. In Iceland, I had to try the world-famous Icelandic lamb.

Iceland's traditional cuisine is fish and lamb, and smoked and dried fish are world-renowned specialties. The reason why Icelandic mutton is world famous is that the use of chemical fertilizers and growth hormones is prohibited in Iceland, and the import of meat is also strictly prohibited. Therefore, all the meat eaten in Iceland is pure Icelandic meat. Icelandic mutton is delicious and fresh, unparalleled. This is due to the traditional way of grazing for more than 1,000 years, and the sheep eat fresh grass and plants. When you travel to Iceland, you must try mutton.

Lisko first cut off a piece with a knife and fork and put it in his mouth. The meat of the roast lamb was extremely tender and delicious, and the juice of the meat itself flowed into the mouth, making it so delicious that it exploded.

Some people say that Icelandic sheep are the happiest sheep in the world. They don’t know what captive farming is all their lives, let alone seeing things like fences. Get hungry and eat plants and berries everywhere. In the words of the Icelanders themselves, "they marinate themselves".

Next to the roast lamb is salmon. Iceland is an island country with well-developed marine resources, especially fisheries. Icelandic families eat fish every day for a meal. Fish is the mainstay of Icelandic cuisine. Icelandic seafood, headed by fish, is also a major economic pillar of Iceland. Cod, salmon and haddock are the most common, along with langoustine, a favorite of most local foodies.

In Iceland, the economy is mainly based on marine fisheries. Fishing provides 60% of Iceland's export earnings and employs 8% of the working population.

So the most common delicacy here is fish.

The salmon in front of Lisko is usually served in other hotels with a four-star rating and above, and it is only served in the morning, but Lisko is a senior member of Hilton, and of course the hotel staff does not impose restrictions.

Icelandic salmon makes countless gourmet lovers salivate. Compared with other salmon delicacies, Icelandic salmon delicacies can be said to be the most pure. Icelandic salmon delicacies are tender in texture, delicious in taste, and come from pure natural fish breeding and fresh Generally, fish ingredients in Iceland are caught on the same day and are very fresh. Although salmon with high nutritional value is expensive, it is still favored by most people.

The dessert is a kind of yogurt unique to Iceland called Skyr. Not only the name is super nice, but the taste is also very special. Biting it in your mouth is like biting into the waxy and soft sky! Skyr is more of a cross between yogurt and cheese, a thick yogurt. It is mainly eaten with jam and nuts. Of course, some people also eat it with olive oil. The taste is not greasy and it is amazing.

With so much food, of course alcohol is indispensable. People near the Atlantic Ocean are used to drinking gin, and what Lisko tasted today is a fruit gin.

Gin is also known as gin, and the main material is corn, so the wine is golden in color.

It is a spirit with an alcohol content of up to 40%. It is generally based on neutral alcohol, and then distilled with herbs, fruits, spices, etc. (usually juniper berries are the main raw materials) to extract the essence and aroma. It brings a unique aroma of rosin, leather and grass, which is very charming.

The name Lisko drank was Nordés, named after the coastline trade wind blowing towards the blue-black Atlantic Ocean. When Lisko saw the name, he thought of the old joke, "Drink the northwest wind."
