On the streets of Manhattan, there was a new food truck called Outstanding. Food trucks were common on the streets of New York. Even in the high-rise Manhattan where white-collar workers gathered, there were many food trucks.
The pace of life in New York was fast, and many white-collar workers in the office didn't have time to have a leisurely lunch.
Most people chose fast and convenient fast food. If a fast food truck could make delicious food, it would easily gain a group of fans here.
Li Jie's food truck only provided a few types of food: Jason's special hamburgers, Jason's secret sausages, Jason's buns, and matching fries.
Except for the traditional Chinese food, the other two were Li Jie's modified Western food.
Unlike the Kaifeng dishes and Uncle Mike's hamburgers that were popular all over China in his previous life, the real traditional hamburgers were actually very particular. They weren't simple junk food.
The beef hamburgers were for the aroma of the beef and the delicious juices. The beef and pork hamburgers were for the taste and aroma of the pork.
Many famous hamburger shops had special pickles and cheese for the hamburgers. Some restaurants even baked their own bread for their hamburgers.
Li Jie couldn't possibly bake his own bread, so he found a famous bakery in New York, Fat John, and ordered 200 hamburgers a day.
The sausages made by Li Jie were a new combination of Mexican sausages and China's Cantonese sausages.
The alcoholic taste of the Cantonese sausages was removed, and the sweetness and aroma of the Cantonese sausages were retained. It was combined with the spicy taste of Mexican sausages, which was accepted by most Americans.
In China in his previous life, Li Jie had always thought that Chinese food would conquer the world's taste buds. But living in the United States in this life, Li Jie knew that his thinking was completely wrong.
If you really wanted to make a name for yourself in the United States with dishes like boiled fish, boiled meat, tofu, and steamed mandarin fish, then you would be worse than a new writer without the support of readers on Qidian.
In fact, Europeans and Americans were very stubborn about the taste of food. If they were used to a taste, they might not change for the rest of their lives. They wouldn't easily accept any taste they hadn't tried. What are the most popular Chinese dishes in America?
Zuo Zongtang's chicken, Li Hongzhang's chop, and fried spring rolls. Apart from the fried spring roll, the other two dishes were unheard of in China. This was Chinese cuisine modified according to American tastes.
Therefore, if he really wanted to be successful in the United States, he had to cater to the local tastes in his dishes. If you insist on being orthodox, then I can only give you a thumbs up and praise you for being ignorant.
A good chef should make dishes that the customers like, and not stubbornly try to change the taste of the customers, making them cater to the chef's taste. After all, the arm was no match for the thigh.
Sizzle ~. Li Jie put butter and onions on the iron plate that was frying the steak. In less than a moment, the fragrance permeated the streets. It was noon, and many white-collar workers in the surrounding office buildings were hungry and ready to go out for food.
The aroma coming from Li Jie's stall instantly attracted many people. Then, Li Jie placed the hamburger and sausage on the iron plate. The hot iron plate made them sizzle with oil.
A strong fragrance spread in all directions. This was also Li Jie's way of doing business, using the aroma to attract customers first. Otherwise, if he just stood there and waited, he didn't know when the first customer would come to his door.
"Well, it smells so good. Boss, I want a special Jason burger." The first customer was a middle-aged woman.
"Okay, a special burger, six dollars, if you want an additional drink, you need to add one dollar." Li Jie's burger was much more expensive than the price outside. Most of the burgers in the United States cost about three dollars, and six dollars was double the price.
"Okay, give me another drink." Although the price was expensive, the taste was so good, so the woman did not hesitate to buy it.
After the first buyer, other customers quickly appeared in front of Li Jie's stall. After tasting the food made by Li Jie, everyone found it really delicious, and many people recommended their friends to buy it. Soon there was a long line in front of Li Jie's stall.
"J.A.R.V.I.S. is recording the 22nd Arc Reactor miniaturization test this year." In the Stark Building not far from Li Jie's stall, Tony Stark, the famous president of Stark Industries, is carrying out his Arc Reactor miniaturization test.
"Come on, baby, see how wild you are." Tony, with a mustache, operated the robotic arm and remotely operated the reactor miniaturization test outside an isolation room.
"It looks like it's almost done, let Dad put your heart back in place." The early steps were smooth, and Tony was ready to start a small Arc Reactor ignition test.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., report the reactor index." Tony successfully ignited the Arc Reactor, and a fist-sized reactor glowed dazzlingly in the isolated laboratory.
"The reactor energy is normal, and the energy output is rising in a trapezoidal structure." J.A.R.V.I.S.'s words excited Tony. "I knew it! See J.A.R.V.I.S.! I knew I was a genius! I'm sure I can succeed! "
Tony Stark did not hide his arrogance and narcissism. "Sir, the reactor energy is beginning to fluctuate, and the energy is beginning to decay." J.A.R.V.I.S.'s next test data poured cold water on Tony Stark.
"Oh ~ no ~ no ~ no! J.A.R.V.I.S., increase the energy supply and stabilize the energy fluctuations of the reactor. "Tony ordered. "Increase the energy supply, and the reactor energy balance. The reactor energy is rising in a fluctuating structure, and the ability fluctuations are overloaded. "
"It is recommended to cut off the reactor capacity supply. The reactor capacity supply is cut off." The intelligent system J.A.R.V.I.S. found unusual fluctuations in the energy of the reactor and warned Tony.
"The reactor capacity is unstable, close the isolation laboratory, Mr. Tony suggests that you leave here immediately." J.A.R.V.I.S.'s words have confirmed that the reactor miniaturization test has failed again.
"Oh ~ damn!" Tony ran out of the isolation laboratory. As soon as Tony left, the laboratory was completely closed. It didn't take long for a muffled sound to be heard in the laboratory.
"Looks like it exploded again? Mr. Stark. "A blonde beauty wearing black high heels and a professional skirt said. She is Stark's personal assistant, Pepper Pei Bo.
"What do you mean again?" Tony asked with a smirk. Pei Bo would never give face to his boss. "Although I don't want to say this, this is the seventh laboratory to be blown up this year, Mr. Stark."
After listening to Pei Bo's words, Tony's face was even darker. "This is my laboratory, if I don't like it, then I have the right to blow it up!"
Pei Bo pursed her lips and smiled, ignoring the childish Tony and said. "This is a letter from the US military. They want to test the performance of the Jericho missile before they give us an order."
"Isn't this Obadiah Stan's in charge?" Tony frowned, he doesn't like to socialize with the US military.
"Obadiah went to several European countries to discuss business, and also to participate in the new weapons exhibition. He won't be back for more than a month. Did you forget? Or did you ask him to go? "Pei Bo said.
"Okay ~ Okay! Then tell them that I will give them an experiment next month. The test site will be in the Middle East. "Tony said with a pleading tone.
"Where are you going Tony?" "Lunch!"
At 1: 30 in the afternoon, most of the white-collar workers in Manhattan had already started their afternoon work, and Li Jie's booth was deserted again.
In just one afternoon, Li Jie almost sold out his stock for the day. After counting all the costs, he made almost a thousand dollars today.
The business was so good that it was unbelievable. It seemed that he only needed to sell lunch at noon in the future!
Li Jie was currently browsing the Internet on his phone. He was looking up information about the Stanich family. Li Jie didn't have the ability to hack into the US government's intelligence network to collect information like Frank did.
So he could only look up some public information on the Internet. Although what could be found on the Internet was only the tip of the iceberg, the Stanich family's strength was indeed not to be underestimated. In particular, this family had a close relationship with the US military.
This made things difficult for Li Jie. Li Jie wasn't a good person who would let someone go after he was chased. He had been thinking about how to cause trouble for the Stanich family. He had gained a lot of reputation points!
However, he couldn't contact Frank Castle. Otherwise, Li Jie wouldn't mind teaming up with him to cause trouble for the Stanich family.
"I said, give me a cheeseburger." A man's voice with a slightly arrogant tone interrupted Li Jie's thoughts.
Tony Stark. Li Jie looked up and saw this playboy, the future superhero Iron Man standing in front of him.
This was a super tycoon who appeared on the cover of entertainment weekly more than business weekly. Playboy rated him as the man that all men in the world wanted to be like him for three years in a row.
"Mr. Stark?" Li Jie said in a tone of waiting for confirmation. "If there is no one called Stark around, then I think it is indeed me." Tony put on his sunglasses and pretended to look around.
"Well, child, if you want an autograph, I can sign it for you later, but can you give me a cheeseburger first?" Tony's tone was arrogant as always.
"I'm sorry, I can add more cheese to your burger, but there is no cheeseburger here." Li Jie shrugged and pointed to the menu outside his dining car.
"Tsk ~ Okay, then give me something like Jason's Special Burger. Is Jason your name?" Tony said. "Sounds like a Texas chainsaw murderer."
F * ck, if you weren't Tony Stark, I would have beaten you up a long time ago! Li Jie was now very unhappy with Tony's poisonous tongue. He could only imagine the hamburger in front of him as Tony, and then he smashed it with the spatula.
After putting the burger into a brown paper bag, Li Jie was about to hand it to Tony. "Oh ~ No, don't hand it to me. Put it here, I'll take it myself. "Tony refused to take the paper bag from Li Jie.
Li Jie felt his veins were about to burst. What does this mean? Are you looking down on me, or are you a neat freak?
"Oh ~ It tastes good." Tony took a bite of the burger and praised. "Child, is this your dining car?"
"My name is Jason Lee, Mr. Stark. Besides, I'm already an adult in the eyes of the law. Don't you think it's rude to call me a child? "Li Jie was already annoyed that Tony kept calling him a boy.
"Okay ~ Mr. Jason Lee. Are you satisfied? "Tony said noncommittally. "Are you interested in working at Stark Industries? Of course, as a chef. My personal chef. "
"As long as you can make such delicious hamburgers every day, I can pay you two hundred thousand dollars a year. How about it?" Tony made a temptation that ordinary people couldn't refuse.
Becoming Tony Stark's personal chef with an income of two hundred thousand dollars a year was a lot of temptation for others, but Li Jie didn't want to pay attention to him at all.
When he watched the movie, he thought Tony Stark was very interesting, but when he really interacted with Li Jie, he didn't like the arrogant and self-righteous Tony at all.
Before experiencing Iron Man's experience and transformation, Tony was a bastard playboy!
"Thank you, Mr. Stark, but I prefer to drive a dining car." Li Jie still maintained a smile on the surface and refused Tony.
"Five hundred thousand, that's not a low price. Even Michelin chefs only charge this much, "Tony continued to increase the price. But Li Jie was still unmoved and shook his head.
"Okay, then forget it." Tony shook his head and seemed to be ready to leave, but he only took five steps before he turned back and walked to Li Jie's dining car again.
"One million! Kid, you can't be too greedy! "Tony said a little fiercely.
You want to spend one million just to eat a hamburger? Do you have to go that far? The thoughts of rich people are really scary!
(PS: The setting about Tony's love for hamburgers came from Iron Man 1. In it, Tony had just returned from the Middle East, and the first thing he wanted to do was to eat hamburgers, but Pepper thought he wanted to find a woman. So in Tony's mind, it was probably hamburgers > women > business negotiations.
PS2: Tony Stark doesn't like to take things directly from other people. This setting comes from Iron Man 2. He never takes things directly from other people's hands, except for Peppa Pepper Pebble. The protagonist has been reborn for seventeen years and must have forgotten the details in the movie, so Tony's behavior is very rude to him.)
