Chapter 20 Burger Lover Tony Stark
The streets of Manhattan today have a new food truck named Outstanding. Food trucks are very common on the streets of New York, even in Manhattan, where there are many high-rise buildings and white-collar workers.
The pace of life in New York is fast, and many office workers do not have time to have a leisurely lunch at noon.
Most people's choice is fast and convenient fast food, if a food truck can make enough delicious food, then he can easily gain a group of fans here.
Li Jie's food truck only provides a few kinds of food, Jason's special burger, Jason's secret sausage, Jason's bag, and matching french fries snacks.
In addition to the traditional Chinese food, the other two are Li Jie's improved Western food.
Different from the Kaifeng dishes and Uncle Mai's burgers that were opened all over China in previous lives, the real traditional burgers are actually very particular, not simple junk food.
The pure beef hamburger steak is eaten with the aroma and delicious juice of the beef, and the hamburger steak mixed with beef and pork in a certain proportion has the taste and pork aroma.
Many well-known burger joints have their burgers specially made with pickles and cheese. And some sophisticated stores even bake the burgers themselves.
Li Jie is unlikely to bake bread by himself, so he asked Fat John, a famous bakery in New York, to order hamburger buns, two hundred a day.
The sausage made by Li Jie is a new flavor that is based on the flavors of Mexican sausage and Chinese Cantonese sausage.
The wine flavor in Cantonese-style sausage is removed, and a certain sweetness and aroma of Cantonese-style sausage are retained, and the spicy flavor of Mexican sausage, which is accepted by most Americans, is integrated.
In China in his previous life, Li Jie always thought that Chinese food would surely conquer the tastes of people all over the world. But having lived in the United States all his life, Li Jie knew that his idea was completely wrong.
If you really want to rely on boiled fish, boiled meat, mapo tofu, steamed mandarin fish and other dishes in the United States, then you will be worse than the new writers from the starting point who do not have the support of readers.
In fact, Europeans and Americans are very stubborn about the taste of food. If you get used to a taste, you may not change it for a lifetime. They don't easily accept any taste they haven't tried. What are the most popular Chinese dishes in America?
General Tso's chicken, Li Hongzhang offal, and fried spring rolls. Apart from fried spring rolls, there are two other dishes that many people in China have not heard of. This is Chinese food modified according to American tastes.
So if you really want to be successful in the United States, you must cater to the local tastes in the dishes. If you have to insist on the so-called authentic, then you can only give you a thumbs up and praise the fearlessness of the ignorant.
A good chef should make dishes that customers like, not stubbornly want to change customers' tastes and make them cater to your tastes. After all, the arm can't twist the thigh.
Here, Li Jie put butter and onions on the iron plate for frying the steak. In less than a moment the scent permeates the streets. It was noon at this time, and many white-collar workers in the surrounding office buildings were hungry and ready to come out for food.
The aroma from Li Jie's booth instantly seduced many people. Then Li Jie put the hamburger steak and sausage on the iron plate again, and they were squeak and oily as the hot iron plate grilled them.
The strong aroma spreads out. This is also Li Jie's way of doing business, using the scent to lure diners over first. Otherwise, if you just stand there and wait, you still don't know when the first diners will come to your door.
"Well, it's delicious, boss, I want a Jason's special burger." The first customer who came to the door was a middle-aged lady.
"A good special burger, $6 if you want to add a drink, you need to add a dollar." Li Jie's burger is much more expensive than the outside price. Most burgers in the United States are about $3, and $6 is doubled. .
"Okay, add another drink to me." Although the price is expensive, the taste is so fragrant, so the lady still buys it without hesitation.
After the first buyer, other diners quickly appeared in front of Li Jie's booth. After tasting the food made by Li Jie, everyone found that it was really delicious, and many people recommended friends to come and buy it. Soon there was a long queue in front of Li Jie's booth.
"Jarvis made a record, the 22nd Ark reactor miniaturization test this year." In the Stark Building not far from Li Jie's booth, Tony Stark, president of the famous Stark Industries Group, was conducting He is conducting miniaturization experiments on his Ark reactor.
"Come on~ baby, look how wild you are." Tony with a moustache operated the robotic arm and remotely operated the miniaturization experiment of the reactor outside an isolation room.
"It looks almost, let Dad put your heart on you." The early steps were all smooth, and Tony was ready to start the ignition test of the small ark reactor.
"Jarvis reports the reactor index." Tony successfully ignited the Ark reactor, and a fist-sized reactor radiated dazzling light in the isolation laboratory.
"The energy of the reactor is normal, and the energy output is rising in a trapezoidal structure." Tony was excited by Jarvis' words. "I knew~ I didn't see Jarvis! I knew I was a genius! I can definitely make it!"
Tony Stark makes no secret of his stinky farts and narcissism. "Sir, the energy of the reactor begins to fluctuate, and the energy begins to decay." Jarvis's next test data poured a basin of cold water on Tony Stark.
"Oh~ no~ no~ no~ no! Jarvis will increase the energy supply for me to stabilize the energy fluctuation of the reactor." Tony ordered. "The energy supply has increased, and the energy of the reactor has been balanced. The energy of the reactor has risen in a fluctuating structure, and the capacity fluctuation has been overloaded."
"It is recommended to cut off the reactor capacity supply, and the reactor capacity supply is cut off." The intelligent system Jarvis found that the energy of the reactor had an unusual fluctuation and warned Tony.
"The capacity of the reactor is unstable. Close the isolation laboratory. Mr. Tony recommends that you leave here immediately." Jarvis' words have confirmed that the miniaturization test of the reactor has failed again.
"Oh~ Damn!" Tony hurriedly left the isolation lab. As soon as Tony leaves, the lab is completely shut down. Not long after, a muffled sound was heard in the laboratory.
"Looks to explode again? Mr. Stark," said a blond woman in black high heels and a professional dress. She is Stark's personal assistant, Pepper Pepper.
"What is it?" Tony asked with a stinky expression. Pepe never saved face for his boss. "Although I hate to say it, this is the seventh laboratory to blow up this year, Mr. Stark."
Tony's face darkened even more after listening to Pepe's words. "This is my lab, if I don't like it, then I have the right to blow it up!"
Pepe pursed his lips and smiled, ignoring the childish Tony, and continued. "This is a letter from the US military, they want to be able to test the performance of the Jericho missile before placing an order for us."
"Isn't this Obediah Stan's responsibility?" Tony frowned, he didn't like socializing with the US military very much.
"Obedia went to several European countries to discuss business, and also participated in a new arms exhibition. Have you forgotten that it will take more than a month to come back? Or you let him go," said Pepe.
"Okay~ Okay! Then tell them, I will give them an experiment next month. The experimental site will be placed in the Middle East." Tony said in a tone of please don't bother me anymore.
"Where are you going Tony?" "Lunch!"
At 1:30 noon, most of the white-collar workers in Manhattan had already started their afternoon work, and the front of Li Jie's booth was deserted again.
In just one noon time, Li Jie almost sold out his stock for the day. Counting it, today, minus all kinds of expenses, I made almost a thousand dollars.
The business is so good that it's unbelievable, it seems that it only needs to sell lunch once at noon in the future!
Li Jie is currently browsing the Internet on his mobile phone, and he is checking things about the Stanech family. Li Jie did not have Frank's ability to hack into the US government's intelligence network to gather intelligence.
So I can only look at some public information on the Internet. Although everything that can be found on the Internet is the tip of the iceberg, the strength of the Steinich family is indeed not to be underestimated. In particular, the family also has a constant relationship with the U.S. military.
This made Li Jie feel difficult. Li Jie was not a good old man who could let him go after being chased and killed. He has been thinking about how he can cause trouble for the Stanech family, and now he has gained a lot of reputation points!
But there is no way to contact Frank Custer, otherwise Li Jie wouldn't mind joining forces with him to find trouble with the Stanech family.
"I said, bring me a cheeseburger." A man's voice with a stinky tone interrupted Li Jie's thoughts.
Tony Stark, Li Jie looked up and found this playboy, the future superhero Iron Man standing in front of him.
This is a super tycoon who has been on the cover of Entertainment Weekly more times than Business Weekly. For the third year in a row, Playboy named him: The man most men in the world want to be like him.
"Mr. Stark?" Li Jie said in a tone of waiting for confirmation. "If there is no one around named Stark, then I think it is me." Tony put on his sunglasses and pretended to look around.
"Okay boy, if you want to sign it, I can sign it for you later, but can you give me a cheeseburger now!" Tony's tone was as arrogant and stinky as ever.
"I'm sorry, I can add more cheese to your hamburger, but there's really no cheeseburger here." Li Jie shrugged and pointed to the menu outside his dining car.
"Tsk~ Okay, let's have a Jason's special burger or something. Is Jason your name?" Tony said. "Sounds like a Texas Chainsaw Massacre."
Nima, if you weren't Tony Stark, I would have beaten you up! Li Jie is very unhappy with Tony's vicious tongue now. He could only imagine the hamburger steak in front of him as Tony's, and then pressed it twice with a shovel.
After finishing the hamburger, put it in a kraft paper bag, and Li Jie is ready to hand it to Tony. "Oh~ no, don't pass it to me. Put it here, I'll take it myself." Tony refused to take the paper bag in Li Jie's hand.
Li Jie feels that his veins are about to burst. What does this mean? Look down on me or are you a clean freak?
"Oh~ it tastes good." Tony took a bite of the burger and praised it. "Son, is this your food truck?"
"My name is Jason Lee, Mr. Stark. And I'm legally an adult, don't you think it's rude to call me a child?" Li Jie was already very upset and Tony called himself a BOY Law.
"Okay~ Mr. Jason Lee. Are you satisfied?" Tony said noncommittally. "Any interest in working at Stark Group, of course as a chef. My personal chef."
"How about I pay you $200,000 a year if you can make such a delicious burger every day?" Tony proposed a temptation that ordinary people couldn't resist.
Becoming Tony Stark's personal chef and earning $200,000 a year is a lot of temptation for others, but Li Jie doesn't want to betray him now.
When I watched the movie, I thought Tony Stark was very interesting, but the real contact with Li Jie didn't like the arrogant and self-righteous Tony at all.
Before going through the experience and transformation of Iron Man, Tony was a bastard playboy!
"Thank you, Mr. Stark, but I prefer to drive a dining car." Li Jie refused Tony with a smile on his face.
"500,000, this price is not low. Michelin chefs are also at this price." Tony continued to add more. But Li Jie still shook his head unmoved.
"Okay, then forget it." Tony shook his head and looked ready to leave, but only took five steps before turning around and walking to Li Jie's food truck.
"One million! The kid can't be too aggressive!" Tony said viciously.
You spend a million just to eat a burger? As for you! The idea of rich people is terrible!
(PS: The setting about Tony’s love of eating hamburgers comes from Iron Man 1. The first thing Tony wanted to do when he just ran back to the United States from the Middle East was to eat hamburgers, and Pepper thought he was looking for a woman. So in Tony The psychology is probably Hamburg > woman > business negotiation.
PS2: Tony Stark doesn't like to take things directly from others. The setting comes from Iron Man 2. He never takes things directly from others, except for Pepper Pepper. The protagonist has been reborn for seventeen years and must have forgotten the details of the movie, so Tony's actions are very offensive to him. )
