There was still a small piece of green scale on Norman Osborn's chest. "Retroviral Hyperplasia Virus" was a hereditary disease of the Osborn family.
There was no cure so far, and the onset time was at the age of twenty. Now Harry Osborne was seventeen years old, and he would have his eighteenth birthday in a few months.
There was not much time left for Norman Osborn. Even if he sold his soul to the devil, he was ready to pull his son out of this family curse.
Thinking of this, Norman's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness. Richard Parker, I'm sorry, my old friend. I didn't want to drag your child into this.
But I have to do this for Harry. Please forgive me in heaven.
Peter Parker, who was in class at Metropolitan High School, suddenly shivered, and a bad feeling passed through his heart.
Li Jie was still taking notes in class and thinking about what dishes to cook on Sunday. He didn't realize that because of his intervention, the world had become more and more chaotic.
The fates of many people, the course of many events, were greatly altered by the movement of his little wings.
New York's Central Park was the largest urban forest park in the world. With a total area of nearly 3.5 square kilometers, it was the largest urban park in the world.
There were not only lakes and forests, but also a farm and a ranch. In the high-rise area of Manhattan, Central Park was like a green carpet, bringing a touch of vivid color to the lead-gray city.
"Hi ~ Jason, you're finally here!" Peter and Harry had been waiting for Li Jie's arrival in the camping area of Central Park.
After all, today's main event was a barbecue picnic. Without the chef on the scene, they didn't know how to cook at all.
"Sorry ~ there was a traffic jam. I should have taken the subway here." Li Jie spread his hands to show that he was also very helpless. After all, a big city has its disadvantages.
"Come Jason, let me introduce you to a new friend, Jane ~ Mary Jane." Harry was accompanied by a beautiful girl.
This girl was very impressive. She had a head of beautiful wine-red hair and a pair of green eyes. She was tall, but she didn't look too thin like some models. Instead, she gave people a very healthy feeling.
Her faint smile made two cute dimples appear on both sides of her mouth. She looked very elegant in a lavender pleated dress.
Mary Jane's beauty was different from Gwen Stancy's. It was not the kind of youthful girl who was cute and charming, but a kind of intellectual elegance.
And a kind of confidence that came from her bones. Perhaps this was what made her special in the competitive Broadway.
"Hello, Jason. Harry often mentions you to me. You can call me Mary." Mary Jane shook hands with Li Jie politely.
"Hello, Mary. You are more beautiful than I imagined. No wonder Harry says your name more than 50 times in front of me and Peter every day." Li Jie silently gave Harry an assist.
"Hey ~!" Harry pouted at Li Jie awkwardly. "Really? Peter didn't tell me about this just now. "Mary looked at Harry who was a little embarrassed and shy, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"That's because Peter is introverted and doesn't like to talk." Li Jie's lie was a little outrageous. Pfft ~ Gwen, who was drinking water, choked and spat out the water in her mouth.
This made the beautiful Gwen look like a clown. Talkative Peter doesn't like to talk? Gwen and Harry both held back their laughter and didn't laugh out loud. Even Peter himself was holding back his laughter, which made his expression particularly complicated.
"Really? I really didn't know that Peter was actually an introverted person. "Mary raised her eyebrows and turned to speak to Peter.
When they were chatting just now, Peter was a big talker. He liked to tell jokes and jokes. No matter how you looked at it, he didn't like to talk.
"Alright ~ Our chef, please hurry up and start cooking. It's eleven o 'clock. We don't want to wait for dinner with an empty stomach. " Gwen interrupted the topic that made Peter very embarrassed and went directly to Li Jie's side and pushed Li Jie from behind to ask him to hurry up and prepare to cook.
"Can you give a chef some dignity, brothers! I just came and I have to cook! "Li Jie was pushed directly to the front of Harry's big RV by Gwen.
"No ~ Because you're late! Hurry up and cook! "Harry and Peter said at the same time. They really had a tacit understanding between good brothers.
Well, Li Jie could only silently cry and roll to the kitchen of the RV to cook.
Harry and Peter were outside with their respective girlfriends to bask in the autumn sun and play outdoor games.
For lunch at noon, Li Jie made a very sumptuous meal. The M12 grade Australian Wagyu only needed to be lightly grilled and it was very delicious. He also made three kinds of sauces: salad, honey mustard, and green pepper sauce, and the simplest pepper, garlic, and salt as a seasoning.
Fang Li Fish was a very good fish. It was relatively rare in Southeast Asia. Most of them were sold in high-end Cantonese restaurants. The common method was steaming and frying.
Some people would confuse fang li with long li, but the price and taste of these two kinds of fish were like heaven and earth. This time, Harry asked people to directly ship two fresh fang li fish from Southeast Asia.
In order to meet the taste of Europeans and Americans, Li Jie prepared to directly steam the fang li fish. Generally speaking, good fish were processed by steaming so that the freshness would be retained. If a large amount of other fats were mixed in, it would be easy to steal the flavor.
But the fang li fish was very strange. A large amount of fats would not make the fang li lose its flavor. Instead, it would make the fish more tender and firm.
Most people didn't know how to cook steamed. This was a skill that only a few chefs could master. Although it was said to be steamed, it was actually low-temperature frying. A real master could use low-temperature frying to make the taste of steaming.
How to make the ingredients not absorb too much fats under such circumstances was a test of a top chef's perfect control of the fire.
Not only did Li Jie use the steaming method to make the fang li fish, but he also did a quick re-frying after it was taken out of the pot. This made the fish tender inside and the skin crisp, creating a double-layered texture.
As for the prawns, half of them were made into charcoal grilled and the other half was made into milk yellow prawns. In addition, Li Jie also made a few vegetables, which was considered to be the perfect complement for lunch.
"Jason, you should open the best restaurant in the best area of Manhattan!" Mary Jane, who was eating Li Jie's dishes for the first time, was very excited.
In front of delicious food, Mary Jane temporarily abandoned her elegance as a song-and-dance actress. She couldn't help but praise Li Jie's food.
"Yes, Jason, didn't you not plan to go to university? After graduation, I can invest. We can open a high-class restaurant on Fifth Avenue. It will only accept reservations and provide dinner parties. I believe you will be sought after by the whole of New York and even the whole of America! " Harry was very optimistic about Li Jie's potential as a chef. Even if the annual rent on Fifth Avenue was as high as 1200 USD per square foot, Harry was still willing to invest in Li Jie.
"Thank you ~ But my grandpa still wants me to take over Mr. Li Restaurant." Li Jie was very pleased by the flattery of the two, but he still declined Harry's good intentions.
After lunch, the few of them basked in the warm autumn sun and played Go for a while on the grass.
After playing for about an hour, the girls said that they were a little sleepy under the warm sun, so they planned to go to the RV to rest.
Harry said that he wanted to play basketball and asked Peter and Li Jie if they wanted to go. Peter had been staying up late to make equipment for Nightcrawler these days, so he actually wanted to sleep, so he said that he wouldn't go.
Therefore, only Harry and Li Jie went to Central Park's open court to play basketball. Central Park's open court had 22 basketball courts, and it was the first choice for many people to play on holidays.
Of course, it was mainly to play with Harry. Now that Li Jie's body was in harmony, it was simply bullying Harry if he wanted to abuse him.
However, as a friend, Li Jie couldn't do such a thing. Therefore, he could only suppress his ability to play with Harry, and he couldn't let Harry see that he was going easy on him.
This made Li Jie very painful. He obviously could easily intercept the ball, but he didn't dare to do it. Fortunately, Harry was just a normal person. After playing for more than 20 minutes, he said that he wanted to take a break. Only then did Li Jie let out a sigh of relief.
"Jason ~ Look, that's the big dumb guy from our school." Sitting on the sidelines, Harry and Li Jie were watching other people play on the court. Suddenly, Harry found an acquaintance.
Following the direction that Harry pointed, Li Jie really found an acquaintance. Metropolitan High School's basketball power forward, Eugene Thompson.
Thompson used to have conflicts with Li Jie and Peter, and he even fought with Li Jie a few times. Later, after Li Jie received a great increase in the power of the system, he didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Thompson seemed to be training, but his brother who usually followed him around was not seen today. Thompson might be a little bad, but he was very hard on basketball training.
Last season, he stopped in the top 32 of the National High School League, which made him very unhappy. He wanted to challenge for the National Championship in his last year of high school.
Li Jie watched Thompson train hard from afar. He didn't have the desire to cause trouble for him. After all, for Li Jie, Thompson was just an insignificant passerby in his life, especially now that the two of them were people from two different worlds.
However, Li Jie didn't cause trouble for Thompson, but it didn't mean that other people wouldn't cause trouble for Thompson. A group of black people dressed in hip-hop clothes came to the basketball court and looked around. They seemed to be looking for someone.
Finally, they found Thompson and walked straight to him. Thompson frowned when he saw the black people from afar. He turned around and walked away, not even taking the basketball on the ground.
(If you forgot who Thompson was, you can look back in this book. Chapter 6: The Food Truck Project and the Summer Intern. The basketball player who provoked the protagonist was Thompson.)
