Chapter 68: The Castle Gathering 1 (Thanks to liuhengshuo again
The two talked for a while until Mary remembered that her sweet cake had been mushy.
In a burst of exclamation, throwing away the baked black cake, Mary started to remake it again.
While chatting, Li Sike also told her about her current daily life, while keeping busy.
"Okay, the delicious cookies are out of the pot," Mary wore gloves and brought the baked cookies to Lisco.
A plate of pumpkin cakes was arranged neatly, with a flavor plate in the middle, and Lisco's favorite tomato sauce was placed inside. Because the cake was too sweet, it was a bit tired of Lisco's taste, so it tasted better with a little sour sauce.
Lisco ignored the heat rising and reached out to grab one. The pumpkin pie was baked golden, and the unique pumpkin fragrance came to his nose.
Li Sike couldn't wait to dip some sauce and stuff it into his mouth. It was a bit hot and there was no time to spit it out. The sour taste of the tomato sauce and the sweet and glutinous texture of the cake were intertwined.
"Yes, it's just this taste," Lisco remembers that he used this as a snack when he was reading books in the library.
"Mary, I think your skills are better." Lisco praised and gave a thumbs up.
Mary squinted her eyes and looked at him eating, her face full of love.
"Nonsense, I have always done this. Maybe you haven't eaten for too long. I'll stay here for a few more days this time, right?" Her eyes were full of expectations.
Berman and Mary have three children. The youngest died of illness in their early years. The eldest son joined the government department and is currently a state legislator. The second daughter married a wealthy businessman, so there is no one around them for many years.
Maybe it's because both children can't stand Berman's old-fashionedness. He has some obsessive-compulsive disorder and has to wear a suit when going out. This is what he thinks is his attitude towards life.
The eldest son and second daughter have a good relationship with Li Sike, a group of mentors. They often have gatherings and are very intimate when they meet. After all, this is a natural political backing. He can take the position of parliamentarians under the age of 40, and the literary world has also helped a lot.
"Okay, I just happen to be quiet at the tutor," Lisco responded with a smile.
Without breakfast, he quickly put all the sweet cakes on. Mary thoughtfully brought a cup of black tea to relieve the greasiness.
As soon as I planned to continue the conversation, I was interrupted by a sound of footsteps.
"Sko?" A mentor Berman, wearing a close-fitting British handmade suit, with her distinctive sheepskin shoes on her feet, her gray beard was neatly trimmed, a British-style top hat, and a characteristic gentleman's cane, pushed open the door and came in.
He took off his hat and handed it to Boer on the side. His silver hair was neatly combed back, and no one would suspect that he was an authentic British gentleman.
"Teacher." Li Sike quickly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and bowed.
"It's okay, sit down," Berman took off his coat, hugged his wife Mary, took the teacup and sat opposite Lisco.
He was very pleased to look at his handsome and extraordinary apprentice. He valued the aura and literary style of Li Sike's writings back then, so he hesitated and accepted his apprentice who was only seventeen years old. At that time, he did not expect that Li Sike's achievements would be so high.
Among the disciples he taught, Lisco's literary achievements are currently the highest. His new book "The Watcher in the Rye" Bermanl reads it as soon as he got it and praised it endlessly. He can say with certainty that there will be no better than this book in the past decade. It can be seen that Lisco may become the only writer among so many of his disciples to win the highest award in the literary world.
Although the other students have a deep literary knowledge, their achievements are limited to positions such as professors and spokespersons in various throat departments. Other students who are engaged in the writing industry can also achieve success and have a high status, but they cannot become literary masters remembered by the world.
So he had high expectations for Li Sike, and he hoped that he could watch this little apprentice who made him proud and go higher and higher in literature.
"Sko, the book "Wheat Field" is very well written. What are you busy with recently? How is your life in the ranch in my hometown?"
Li Sike answered honestly and truthfully. He respected his mentor very much. The mentor was like a guide to his life, but he could not be arrogant in front of the old-fashioned teacher.
"The pasture life is very quiet, the life of the people in the town is very simple, and it has also brought me a lot of inspiration. They have distinct personalities and are good writing materials."
"I've been busy writing new books recently. This time, the type of writing is to look at the world from a child's perspective. I think it should be very interesting."
"Oh? Your point of view is great. Remember to mail me one after writing it. I want to have a sneak peek." Bermanl was very happy to watch his apprentice's proficiency one by one. The writer's inspiration is time-limited. Being able to write more books when he was young can also add to his own background.
"By the way," he seemed to suddenly remember something, "I heard that you and Haas have seen him in the same city? Are you still so arrogant?"
Li Sko saw his teacher's concern. Haas was also accepted as a student by the teacher when he was very young. The teacher really treated him like his son. However, the awkward Jazz was not very good at dealing with his emotional expression, which made Haas afraid when he saw him. Later, he was somewhat understanding, but this awkward way of getting along was still passed down.
"Senior brother is planning to transform now. He recently went on a trip with my suggestion and got a lot of insights and inspiration. He is planning to start construction. He originally wanted to go together this time, but he has some things to deal with, so I can only come by myself."
Of course, Li Sike cannot tell all Haas's current situation, otherwise the old-fashioned teacher would have heard that Haas was so stupid that he had been cheated of his wallet and cell phone. He was still obsessed with it and could not get out of it, so he would definitely be so angry that he would scold the idiot.
"I just remembered the transformation now, and there will be no success in the future." Although Berman's tone was ridiculous and ridiculed, Li Sike, who was paying attention carefully, still saw that his words were insincere from the corner of his raised mouth.
At this time, Li Sike quickly changed the topic and took out the gift he prepared for the mentor and Mary.
"Teacher, I have a gift for you. This is for Mary. It is a jade bracelet I bought in China. This is a type of jade, called the Fulu Shou Sancai Bracelet."
Li Sike opened the jewelry box and the bracelet was intertwined with red, green and purple colors. The most rare thing is that the three colors are evenly distributed. It is the treasure of a jade shop. It was bought by Li Sike at a high price and was intended to give it to Mary.
