In contrast, adults are lifeless, **** for power, and superficial in vanity. "Adults should follow the example of children." So I chose a child's perspective on the world, and used the child's innocence, curiosity, and desire to know more about the world to tell stories to adults, especially to those adults who are "innocent", let them borrow small The prince's imagination temporarily forgets the desires that belong to the adult world, flies back to childhood, reflects on real life, and discovers the true meaning of life.
This time is the era of rapid development of the world economy. Many Hollywood works are full of drunken fans, undisguised desire and pursuit of money. Lisko took out this book at this time just to warn readers to face the The financial crisis caused by the imminent subprime mortgage crisis.
He typed on the keyboard,
"When I was only six years old, I saw a wonderful illustration in a book called "True Story" that describes the virgin forest. It was a python devouring a big beast."
Lisko's fingers were flying in the study, and he tapped out the words in his memory little by little.
Outside the ranch, his old friend Ben, the owner of Boulder's restaurant, Lisko's loyal book fan, and a big client of Li's ranch was coming to the restaurant.
"Wow, this place is very beautiful. There are beautiful scenery and the scent of lavender everywhere. I feel relaxed and happy when I look at it here. No wonder Li Neng lives in seclusion here." Ben looks like a child who has never seen the world, holding his The camera keeps taking pictures. He is a photography enthusiast and often takes beautiful pictures to hang in his restaurant.
The purchasing manager in his restaurant wanted to come to the ranch to purchase and sign a contract for next year. He made up his mind and wanted to visit Lisko. On Christmas, he and Lisko gave each other Christmas gifts. friends.
So he came to visit today to have a good relationship with his idol, to stabilize the friendship that is floating, and to be friends with the person he admires is probably everyone's dream.
Ben's original name was 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 American restaurants. It can be seen that his ability is still very strong.
The car quickly arrived at the gate of the ranch, and Rooster and David received the news early to greet them at the gate.
"It's finally here," Ben got out of the car first, stretching his waist.
"This is the head of the ranch, Rooster," the purchasing manager introduced to Ben.
"Is Li at home? He doesn't know I'm here today, right?" 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." The rooster answered honestly, Boulder Restaurant is a big customer of their ranch. Although Lisko's relationship won't lose orders, he still needs to be cautious. treat.
Ben followed the rooster to Lisko's villa.
"This lake is very beautiful," Ben walked to the lake and picked up the camera to take a picture. Although there are not many pastures in the pasture in winter, and everything is bare, this azure-blue lake is still like a gem. The desolate winter scenery adds a touch of brilliance, and the artistic conception is beautiful.
Lisko had just finished part of the work and went downstairs to make himself a cup of coffee when he heard footsteps in the yard.
He opened the door, passed the figure in front of the rooster leading the way, and saw Ben at a glance. Although he was very puzzled by Ben's sudden attack, he greeted him with a smile, "There is a friend from afar.
"Hey, Ben." Lisko put the coffee on the table and greeted him in the yard.
"Li, is Jing not surprised?" Ben smiled happily and went up to hug him.
"It's surprising, but you're very welcome to come as a guest." Lisko led the crowd into the room and sat down.
"Water? Or coffee?" Lisko asked them.
"Coffee bar." After sitting down, Ben kept observing the decoration of the house.
"Okay." Lisko went to the kitchen to make coffee, with the rooster accompanying the guests.
"Come on, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com and try it." Lisko handed the coffee to Ben.
"Li, you're great here, and the art on your wall is very artistic." Ben is very interested in Lisko's humanistic decoration.
"What?" Lisko got up and introduced.
"I bought this at a New York flea market. It is a work by a street artist. This work is very natural. Do you know how he painted it?" Lisko asked him.
"I don't know," Ben had never been exposed to this style.
"He was a Danish artist named Hayes. In spring, he tied a paintbrush to a branch of a weeping willow and put a drawing board next to it. When the wind blew, the weeping willow began to paint. Paint marks are masterpieces of nature. Isn’t it very creative?” Although this painting has been bought for a long time, Lisko is amazed by the creativity of this genius every time he thinks about it.
The content of this painting is not very beautiful. The black brushes on it are all lines. People who don't know come to see this painting and feel that it is a mess. Lisko collects this just because this way of painting is really unpopular. I want to get it, every time I introduce it to my friends, I am very satisfied to see their amazement.
Lisko took Ben around and introduced him to his collection. Just like when he was a child, everyone would have a treasure chest of their own, which might be a beautiful stone, a charred branch, some assorted Useless treasure in your own eyes.
"This wild boar tooth is my hunting trophy, and this wolf tooth is a collection of my ranch after being attacked by wolves some time ago. This is the wolf's." Lisko's tone was showing off, but his character was still He is a little childish, but this will not disgust others, it will only feel that he is more interesting and a little pure.
