Lisko’s American Life

Chapter 46: Ben's Visit

The lively Christmas has passed, and the cowboys have returned to work on the ranch, and the deserted staff dormitory has begun to be lively again.

Lisko also began to prepare for the new book.

This time the new book is aimed at the group of children and teenagers, and he has come up with a masterpiece that cannot be avoided in literary masterpieces, "The Little Prince".

The protagonist of this book is a little prince from an alien planet. The book uses a pilot as the narrator to describe the various adventures that the little prince experienced during his journey from his own planet to the earth. With the child-like vision of the little prince, it reveals the emptiness, blindness, ignorance and rigid dogma of adults, and uses simple and innocent language to describe the loneliness of human beings and their fate of wandering with the wind without a foundation. At the same time, it also expresses the critique of the relationship between money and the eulogy of truth, goodness and beauty.

It tells the adventures of the little prince on six planets, he met the king, the vain man, the drunkard, the businessman, the lamplighter, the geographer, the snake, the desert flower with three petals, the rose garden, the switchman, the merchant, Fox as well as our narrator, the pilot himself.

The sales volume of this book is also among the top five works in the book sales ranking list all year round. Childhood is an era of longing for miracles, pursuing warmth, and full of dreams. In contrast, adults are lifeless, lustful for power, and superficial in vanity. "Adults should follow the example of children". Therefore, I chose a child's perspective to see the world, and use the child's innocence, curiosity, and desire to learn more about the world to tell stories to adults, especially to those adults who have "childlike innocence". The prince's imagination temporarily forgets the desire to belong to the adult world, flies back to childhood, reflects on real life, and discovers the true meaning of life.

Now is the time when the world economy is developing rapidly. Many works in Hollywood are full of luxury and money, undisguised desire and pursuit of money. Lisko took out this book at this time to warn readers to face it. The financial crisis caused by the imminent subprime mortgage crisis.

He typed on the keyboard,

"When I was only six years old, in a book called "True Stories" about the old forest, I saw a wonderful illustration of a boa constrictor devouring a large beast."

Lisko's fingers flew like flying in the study, and he tapped out the words in his memory bit by bit.

Outside the ranch, his old friend Ben, the owner of the Boulder Restaurant, Lisco's loyal book fan, and a major customer of Li's Ranch are rushing to the restaurant.

"Wow, it's beautiful here. There are beautiful scenery and the smell of lavender everywhere. It's refreshing to look at it. No wonder Li Neng lives in seclusion here with peace of mind." Ben was like a child who had never seen the world, holding his The camera keeps shooting. He is a photography enthusiast and often takes some beautiful photos to hang in his restaurant.

The manager in charge of purchasing in his restaurant is going to come to the ranch to purchase and sign a contract for next year. He decided to visit Lisko on the spur of the moment. On Christmas, he and Lisko gave each other Christmas gifts. In the American concept, this kind of relationship is already friends.

So he came here today to build a good relationship with his idol, to stabilize the floating friendship, and to be friends with someone he admired is probably everyone's dream.

Originally named Ben Harris, the Harris family is also a restaurant family in Denver. He inherited the Boulder restaurant from his father and seized the opportunity to become one of the most famous restaurants in the United States. From here It can also be seen that his ability is still very strong.

The car soon arrived at the gate of the ranch, Rooster and David received the news early and greeted them at the gate.

"It's finally here," said Ben, the first to get out of the car, stretching himself.

"This is the ranch supervisor, Rooster," the purchasing manager introduced Ben.

"Is Li at home? He doesn't know I'm coming today?" Ben asked the rooster, he wanted to give Lisko an unexpected surprise.

"I don't know. I didn't tell him. He's still at home." Rooster replied honestly. The Boulder restaurant is a major customer of their ranch. Although Lisko's relationship will not lose the order, we still have to be cautious. treat.

Ben followed the rooster to Lisco's villa.

"This lake is very beautiful," Ben walked to the lake, picked up the camera and took pictures. Although there is not much pasture in the pasture in winter, and everywhere is bare, this blue lake is still like a gem. A glimmer of brilliance is added to the bleak winter landscape, and the artistic conception is beautiful.

Lisko had just finished part of his work and went downstairs to make himself a cup of coffee when he heard footsteps in the yard.

He opened the door, looked past the figure leading the way in front of the rooster, and saw Ben at a glance. Although he was puzzled by Ben's sudden attack, he greeted him with a smile, "It's no surprise to have a friend coming from afar."

"Hey, Ben." Lisko put the coffee on the table and greeted him in the yard.

"Li, aren't you surprised?" Ben smiled happily and stepped forward to hug him.

"It's quite unexpected, but you are very welcome to come as a guest," Lisko led everyone into the room and sat down.

"Water? Or coffee?" Lisko asked them.

"Coffee bar," Ben has been observing the furnishings of the house since he sat down,

"Okay." Lisko went to the kitchen to make coffee, and the rooster accompanied the guests.

"Here, have a taste." Lisko handed the coffee to Ben.

"Li, you are great here, your walls are very artistic." Ben was very interested in Lisko's humanistic decoration.

"This?" Lisko got up and introduced.

"I bought this at a flea market in New York. It is a work of a street artist. This work is very natural. Do you know how he drew it?" Lisko asked him.

"I don't know," I have never been exposed to this style.

"He is a Danish artist named Hayes. In spring, he tied a paintbrush to the branch of a weeping willow, and put a drawing board next to it. As soon as the wind blows, the weeping willow starts to paint. Painting marks are masterpieces of nature. Isn’t it very creative?” Although this painting has been bought for a long time, every time Lisko thinks about it, he is amazed at the creativity of this genius.

The content of this painting is not very beautiful. It is full of lines outlined by a black brush. People who don’t know this painting must find it a mess when they come to see it. I can imagine that every time I introduce it to my friends, I am very satisfied when I see their surprise and amazement.

Lisko took Ben for a stroll and introduced his collection to him. Just like when he was a child, everyone will have their own treasure chest, which may be a beautiful stone, a scorched branch, some miscellaneous Useless treasure in my own eyes.

"This wild boar tooth is a trophy I hunted, and this wolf tooth is a collection of my ranch after being attacked by wolves some time ago. This belongs to a wolf." Lisko's tone was ostentatious, and his character still had He looks a little childish, but it doesn't make others disgusted, they just think he is more interesting and pure.
