Lisko’s American Life

Chapter 83: New house (thanks to Yuqing 0)

After staying in the ranch for a few days, Yashin returned to New York satisfied with some short stories and poems written by Lisko in the past few days, and of course Lubo, who was reluctant to leave, of course he refused to leave, because the ranch can be unscrupulous. eating steak, snacks.

However, the cultural company was busy with business affairs, and there were several calls to urge him. There was no other way, so he left with Yashin with a sullen face.

Lisko's manuscripts to Yashin include Jack London's "Before Adam" and "Love of Life", as well as the classic O'Henry's "The Last Leaf", "The Gift of the Maggie", and Lisko and Yashin's explanations It was written in his spare time before. Of course, Yashin is not picky. From the perspective of his twenty years of editing, they are all excellent.

The poems are written by Cummings, because most of this poet's short poems are about love, which is in line with what Lisko can write at his age.

After seeing off the guests, Lisko also began to pack and arrange things, preparing for his own trip.

Lisko intends to go to Iceland, known as the "land of the gods", because it has the purest air and water in the world, as well as the best hot springs. Or because Iceland is a mysterious country: compared to other Nordic countries, Iceland seems primitive, and people are very close to nature.

There are a lot of things to bring, such as a change of clothes, a passport, a first aid kit and an indispensable camera for travel.

Because it was the beginning of June, Lisko checked the guide, and the temperature in Iceland was 7-12 degrees throughout the summer, so he still had to carry his jacket.

To Iceland, you can usually fly to Reykjavik via Frankfurt via Icelandair. There are famous scenic spots Blue Lagoon and Ice Spring City nearby.

The timing of Lisko's trip is a bit late. If it is earlier between January and March, you can arrange exciting activities in Reykjavik, such as ice skating, ice fishing, snowmobiles, and off-road hunting tours. .

The rooster cares about things in the ranch, and Lisko doesn't need to be too concerned. The more time passes, the more Lisko feels that it was a wise decision to hire the rooster to work.

The investment company is also proceeding according to the plan. As long as the U.S. Treasury Department announces the takeover on September 7, it can appear.

Lisko was also watching the news on the other side of the ocean. The Olympic Games were in full swing. The disaster that had a great impact in his memory did not happen, and Lisko was relieved.

There is also a major event. Lisko arranged for the cowboy to move the villa he lives in after he left, and plans to level it up and build a larger manor, because it is estimated that Lisko will spend most of the rest of his life here. He was not very willing to go to those first-tier cities to live with others, so he planned to rebuild his residence.

I have always had this thought, but there has never been a good time. Lisko's villa was built by his father many years ago. Although the house is very solid, the decoration and style are already showing some dilapidation.

I just took the opportunity of this trip to deal with this, and I can live in a new house when I come back, which is seamless.

If you want to speed up the construction, it is impossible to hire the construction companies of these uncles in the United States. Their timekeeping is more than three months. Of course Lisko can't wait, and the craftsmanship is not very reassuring. .

Lisko went to the branch of the Continental Construction Company in Codorola, and reported the time for a little more than a month. Lisko had already invited the person in charge and the designer to come over for negotiation and on-the-spot inspection.

The appointment time came soon. Lisko watched a car come in from the gate of the ranch, and went downstairs to greet him.

"Hey, I'm Lisko, welcome."

Lisko's spoken Chinese did not cause much fluctuation. The guests who came were two middle-aged men with yellow skin and black hair, who introduced themselves.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm Wen Liang, the head of the company, and this is our designer Sun Qi."

Lisko stepped forward and shook hands.

The two visitors had checked Lisko's specific information before, which was the basic means by which they could get the order. They knew that the customer this time was a well-known young writer with a high status in the American literary circle, and they also checked it out. Lisko has something of Chinese ancestry, so I'm not surprised that he speaks Chinese.

"We read the documents that Mr. Li is proficient in Chinese and is a language genius. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation. I thought he had returned to China." Overwhelmed house, can be seen to be a bad sociable professional.

"Go, come in." Lisko led the guests into the room and poured tea.

"This is Chinese green tea from a friend. Let's taste it."

Wen Liang was of course full of praise. After the chat, Lisko got to the point.

"You have also seen the mission this time. The current house was built by my father many years ago, and it has some history, but now it seems a bit crowded. I often need to receive guests here, and I am facing a situation where there are not enough rooms."

Wen Liang looked around and saw that although Lisko's design and decoration were very artistic, it still couldn't hide the dilapidation of the house~www.wuxiamtl.com~ My request is to build it quickly, we have already talked about this on the phone. I have communicated, and it is necessary to be firm. I will find an evaluation company for inspection during the inspection. Because of the weather here, I don’t want to be scraped away with the house and people one day. "

Lisko took a sip of tea and joked.

"Don't worry, our requirement for ourselves is to be firm." Wen Liang put down the cup and patted his chest.

Sun Qi, who was on the side, said, "Mr. Li, how big is your area?"

If there is only such a large area, there is no point in rebuilding. If the area is not enlarged, the room is still not enough.

"No, no, I bought a two-acre location behind the room, so with the current land occupation, I've drawn a rough outline. I'll show you guys later." Behind the ranch is unmanned land, Lisko The villa is in the innermost part of the ranch, and he bought it before handing over to the town in advance.

The two looked around again, and took a camera to take pictures of the range and terrain.

Lisko has been walking around with him, talking about his ideas, and these requirements will be absorbed together when designing the house.

What Lisko wants most is a greenhouse, which can also be on the top of the building. As for the type of house, he still prefers the same kind of castle as his mentor. Of course, modern elements should be added, and it should not be so large and so many rooms.

Li Ke has always been very envious of the library in his tutor's house, and he made up his mind to get one himself. For him, all he has to pay is money, but his income has not been used much, and he has just invested it into his own. hobby.

Lisko made an agreement with the construction company to receive the design drawings by email, and Lisko said goodbye to the two.
