Lisko’s American Life

Chapter 215: speech start one

"Come on, guess what kind of coffee this is."

Joyce handed over a cup, and Lisko took it, smelling it in the heat.

Intense aroma, with a hint of lemon-like fruit.

"Honduras?"

Lisko expressed his guess uncertainly.

"Awesome, yes, this is Honduran coffee, which is my favorite."

Joyce gave Lisko a thumbs up when he saw that he had guessed it.

Honduras is one of the most important coffee producing countries in Central America. At an online green beans auction, an international buyer bought beans from MiEsperanza plantations for a record-breaking $35.1/lb.

It has a long history. In 1804, this coffee was sought after by the upper class, and mocha coffee became the most popular variety.

Among the top ten coffee beans in the world, Honduras coffee beans ranked third, and the well-known coffee brand Jamaica Blue Mountain ranked fifth.

Because the output is scarce, it has been circulated among the upper classes.

Lisko took a sip, rich and mellow taste, soft and not astringent, sour and slightly sweet in the mouth, rich and unique aroma, sweet and sour aftertaste, showing a strong lemon flavor, using the sweetness of caramel to neutralize, With obvious fruit flavor.

"It's great." Lisko put down the cup. He also tasted this kind of coffee for the first time. He had only heard about it before, and just guessed the variety, but he was completely confused, because this kind of coffee is the most popular with university presidents. , the principal of his alma mater likes to drink this.

"Anything new? You're a prolific writer."

Joyce gossips and asks Lisko. To be honest, he is also a fan of Lisko's books, and he has carefully studied each of Lisko's books.

"The new book has been written, but the agent and the publisher think it's better to warm up before Christmas."

Lisko told the truth that it was not a secret.

"Oh? What about those aspects?"

"It's a book about seeing the world with the innocent eyes of a child, criticizing the relationship between money, and celebrating the truth, the good and the beautiful."

"It's so good. I'm looking forward to seeing your new work. In this society, materialism is rampant."

As an older generation of scholars, Joyce still retains the mission of scholars. People like them hope to use what they have learned to change the world and promote human development, so they are very worried about the current chaotic social phenomenon.

"Bang bang bang."

There was a knock on the door in the office, and after Joyce made a sound, a man who looked like a teacher with gold glasses came in.

"Principal, Mr. Lisko, the time is almost up."

"Okay," Joyce glanced at the office clock in disappointment. He felt that he had just chatted with Lisko for a while, but he couldn't delay when the time came.

"Let's go."

Lisko drank the coffee in the cup, then stood up, buttoned the buttons on his suit, and said goodbye to the principal. The two went in different directions afterward. The principal was going to gather with the teachers and enter the lecture hall together.

"Then we'll see you later?"

"yeah."

After leaving the office, Lisko followed the staff in front and ran directly into the lecture hall, followed by Charles and Yu Qing who had returned.

The lecture hall is an elegant multi-functional space, located on the second floor next to the teaching building, adjacent to the school library, with a total area of ​​more than 600 square meters and a capacity of 1,000 people, and it can also be connected with the adjacent library.

The seat is made of wooden material and the design is quite simple. The auditorium presents a stepped distribution, which allows people to have a better viewing field of vision.

In the middle of the room is a large podium, behind which are two rows of curtains with a white banner on a red background. For the sake of confidentiality, Lisko did not let anyone put his name on it, but simply said "Welcome to Literature." Master Lecture."

There is a check-in desk at the door, and the number of this speech is strictly controlled.

Li Ke has arrived backstage, and the makeup artist here is ready. She is a very young girl who is said to belong to the student union.

"Mr. Lisko, I'm the make-up artist for this speech. Of course, I'll only dress you up a bit, so that it will look better under the lights, and it's convenient for school photography to save."

The makeup artist spoke to Liske respectfully, but Liske found that she had been peeking at him from the corner of her eye.

"Okay, I'm fine."

Lisko did not refuse. Although his appearance is very durable, the lens and eyes are different. He didn't want to save his speech at the University of Denver to have a bad image.

Cosmetics were allowed, so he tentatively asked Lisko to sit down, then looked at his fair skin and sighed sincerely.

"Mr. Lisko, your skin is in very good condition, do you take care of it on weekdays?"

"Not at all ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The time passed in the chat between the two of them, and within a few minutes, the makeup artist completed the work.

Lisko opened his eyes, looked at himself in the mirror, and changed his direction, as if he was a little more refined than before.

The time has come to 9:40, and the lecture hall in front has calmed down from the chaos and noise under the coordination of the student union.

Lisko sat in his seat, closed his eyes and emptied himself, recalling what he was going to talk about later.

With the introduction of the previous host, Lisko knew it was time for him to appear.

Passing through the corridor on one side, Lisko was sorting his clothes as he walked, while Charles and Yu Qing stood alone on the stage.

"Have invited our contemporary writers, our Colorado pride, Lisko writers."

With a smile on Lisko's face, he came out from behind, his handsome face gleaming in the light, and he stood there like a prayer, closing his eyes for a few seconds.

"Lisko, works "Blood Road", "Red Diamond" and "The Catcher in the Rye", more than 300 short articles.

Achievements, "Blood Road" won the National Book Award, "Red Diamond" Goncourt Literary Award, "The Catcher in the Rye" won the British Blake Award. "

The students in the audience were still wondering at first, which master is this young and handsome man on stage. As the name of Lisko's work came out, screams began to sound. These students were more or less Everyone has read Lisko's book.

The screams reached their peak with the achievements behind, thunderous applause began to sound, and one after another stood up from their seats and looked at the stage excitedly.
