Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Burger Lover, Tony Stark
A new fast food truck named Juyi appeared on the streets of Manhattan today. Fast food trucks are very common on the streets of New York, even in Manhattan, where there are many tall buildings and white-collar workers.
The pace of life in New York is very fast, and many office workers do not have time to have a leisurely lunch at noon.
Most people choose fast food that is quick and convenient. If a fast food truck can make food that is delicious enough, it will easily gain a group of fans here.
Jason's food truck only offers a few kinds of food, including Jason's special burgers, Jason's secret sausages, Jason's hanging buns, and French fries.
Except for Gua Bao which is a traditional Chinese dish, the other two are Western food that have been modified by Jason.
Different from McDonald's hamburgers that were sold all over China in the previous life, the real traditional hamburgers are actually very particular and are not simple junk food.
The pure beef hamburger patties have the aroma and delicious juice of beef, while the hamburger patties made by mixing beef and pork in a certain proportion have the texture and aroma of pork.
Many well-known hamburger restaurants use specially made pickles and cheese for their burgers, and some sophisticated restaurants even bake their own hamburger buns.
It was unlikely that Jason would bake the bread himself, so he ordered hamburger buns from Fat John's, a famous bakery in New York, and ordered 200 buns a day.
The sausages made by Jason are a new flavor that is a fusion of the flavors of Mexican sausages and Chinese Cantonese sausages.
The alcohol taste in Cantonese sausage has been removed, while retaining a certain sweetness and aroma of Cantonese sausage, and integrating the spicy taste of Mexican sausage that is accepted by most Americans.
In his previous life in China, Jason always thought that Chinese food would conquer the tastes of people all over the world. But living in the United States in this life, Jason knew that his idea was completely wrong.
If you really want to conquer the United States with dishes like boiled fish, boiled pork, mapo tofu, and steamed mandarin fish, then you will be even more miserable than the new writers on Qidian who have no readers' support.
In fact, Europeans and Americans are very stubborn about the taste of food. If they get used to a certain taste, they will probably never change it. They will not easily accept any taste they have never tried. What are the most popular Chinese dishes in the United States?
General Tso's Chicken, Li Hongzhang's Offal, and Fried Spring Rolls. Except for the Fried Spring Rolls, the other two dishes are unknown to many people in China. This is Chinese cuisine adapted to American tastes.
So if you really want to succeed in the United States, you must cater to the local tastes in your dishes. If you insist on so-called authenticity, then I can only give you a thumbs up and say that ignorance is fearless.
A good chef should cook dishes that customers like, instead of stubbornly trying to change customers' tastes and make them cater to your cooking tastes. After all, you can't change your opponent's tastes.
Sizzle~ Jason put butter and onions on the iron plate for frying steak. In less than a moment, the aroma filled the street. It was noon, and many white-collar workers in the surrounding office buildings were hungry and ready to go out for food.
The aroma from Jason's stall instantly attracted many people. Then Jason put the hamburger patties and sausages on the iron plate, and the hot iron plate grilled them until they sizzled and ooze oil.
The strong aroma spread everywhere. This was also Jason's way of doing business, using the aroma to lure customers in first. Otherwise, if he just stood there and waited, he didn't know when the first customer would come.
"Mmm~ It smells so good. Boss, I want a Jason's special burger." The first customer to come was a middle-aged lady.
"A good special burger costs six dollars. If you want a drink, you need to add one dollar." Jason's burgers are much more expensive than those outside. Most burgers in the United States cost around three dollars, and six dollars is double the price.
"Okay, give me another drink." Although it was expensive, the taste was so delicious that the lady paid for it without hesitation.
After the first buyer, other customers soon appeared in front of Jason's stall. After tasting the food made by Jason, everyone found it delicious, and many recommended it to their friends. Soon, a long line formed in front of Jason's stall.
"Jarvis, take the record. This is the twenty-second Ark reactor miniaturization test this year." In the Stark Building not far from Jason's stall, Tony Stark, the famous president of Stark Industries, was conducting his Ark reactor miniaturization test.
"Come on, baby, let's see how wild you are." Tony, with a mustache, operated a robotic arm and remotely operated a reactor miniaturization experiment outside an isolation room.
"It looks like it's almost done. Come and let Daddy install your heart for you." The initial steps went smoothly, 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 emitted a dazzling light in the isolated laboratory.
"The reactor is functioning normally, and the energy output is increasing in a trapezoidal structure." Tony was excited by Jarvis's words. "I knew it~ Did you see Jarvis? I knew it, I'm a genius! I can definitely succeed!"
Tony Stark made no secret of his arrogance and narcissism. "Sir, the energy in the reactor is beginning to fluctuate and the energy is beginning to decay." Jarvis's subsequent test data poured cold water on Tony Stark.
"Oh~no~no~no~no~no! Jarvis, increase the energy supply for me and stabilize the energy fluctuation of the reactor." Tony ordered.
"Increase the energy supply, balance the energy of the reactor. The energy of the reactor rises in a wave structure, and the capacity fluctuation is overloaded."
"It is recommended to cut off the reactor power supply. The reactor power supply is cut off." The intelligent system Jarvis discovered that the energy of the reactor had unusual fluctuations and warned Tony.
"The reactor's capacity is unstable. Close the isolation laboratory. Mr. Tony recommends that you leave here immediately." Jarvis' words have confirmed that the reactor's miniaturization experiment has failed again.
"Oh~ Damn!" Tony ran out of the isolation laboratory. As soon as Tony left, the laboratory was completely closed. Not long after, a muffled sound was heard from the laboratory.
"Looks like it exploded again, Mr. Stark." A blonde beauty wearing black high heels and a professional dress said. She is Stark's personal assistant, Pepper Potts.
"What do you mean by 'again'?" Tony asked with a sullen look on his face.
Pepper never gave face to his boss. "I hate to say this, but this is the seventh lab that has been blown up this year, Mr. Stark."
Tony's face darkened after hearing what Pepper said. "This is my lab. If I don't like it, I have the right to blow it up!"
Pepper smiled and ignored Tony's childish behavior, and continued, "This is a letter from the US military. They hope to test the performance of the Jericho missile before placing an order with us."
"Isn't this the responsibility of Obediah Stan?" Tony frowned. He didn't really like socializing with the US military.
"Obediah went to several European countries to discuss business and to attend a new weapons exhibition. He won't be back for more than a month. Have you forgotten? Or you asked him to go?" Pepper 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 in a tone of please stop bothering me.
"Where are you going Tony?"
"Lunch!"
At 1:30 p.m., most of the white-collar workers in Manhattan had already started their afternoon work, and Jason's stall became deserted again.
In just one lunch hour, Jason sold out almost all of his stock for the day. After taking inventory, he made nearly $1,000 today after deducting various costs.
The business is so good that it's unbelievable. It seems that from now on it will only be enough to sell lunch once at noon!
Jason is now browsing the Internet on his mobile phone. He is looking up information about the Stanich family. Jason does not have Frank's ability to hack into the US government's intelligence network to collect intelligence.
So I can only look at some public information on the Internet. Although what I can find on the Internet is just the tip of the iceberg, the strength of the Stanich family is indeed not to be underestimated. Especially since this family has a constant relationship with the US military.
This made Jason feel awkward. Jason was not a good person who would let go of someone after being chased. He had been thinking about how to cause some trouble for the Stanich family. He had gained a lot of reputation points now!
But there is no way to contact Frank Castle, otherwise Jason wouldn't mind joining forces with him to cause trouble for the Stanich family.
"I say, give me a cheeseburger." A man's voice with a slightly cocky tone interrupted Jason's thoughts.
Tony Stark, Jason looked up and found this playboy, future superhero Iron Man, standing in front of him.
This is a super tycoon. Playboy has named him the man that men all over the world most want to be like for three consecutive years.
"Mr. Stark?" Jason asked in a tone of waiting for confirmation.
"If there is no one else named Stark around, then I think it is me." Tony put on his sunglasses and pretended to look around and said.
"Okay kid, if you want an autograph I can give it to you later, but can you give me a cheeseburger first?" Tony spoke in the same arrogant tone as always.
"I'm sorry, I can add more cheese to your burger, but we really don't have cheeseburgers here." Jason shrugged and pointed to the menu outside his food truck.
"Well, how about a Jason's Special Burger or something? Jason is your name?" Tony said. "It sounds like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre."
Damn, if you weren't Tony Stark, I would have beaten you up a long time ago!
Jason was very upset with Tony's sharp tongue. He could only imagine the hamburger in front of him as Tony, and then pressed it hard twice with a shovel.
After finishing the burger, Jason put it in a brown paper bag and prepared to hand it to Tony.
"Oh~ no, don't hand it to me. Put it here and I'll take it myself." Tony refused to take the paper bag from Jason.
Jason felt like his veins were about to burst. What did this mean? Did he look down on me or did you have mysophobia?
"Oh~ it tastes good." Tony picked up the burger and took a bite and praised. "Kid, is this your food truck?"
"My name is Jason Lee, Mr. Stark. And I am an adult legally speaking. Don't you think it's rude to call me a child?" Jason was already very unhappy with Tony calling him BOY all the time.
"Okay, Mr. Jason Lee. Are you satisfied?" Tony said noncommittally. "Are you interested in working for Stark Group? Of course, as a chef. My personal chef."
"How about I pay you $200,000 a year as long as you can make such delicious burgers every day?" Tony offered a temptation that ordinary people would find difficult to refuse.
Becoming Tony Stark's personal chef and earning $200,000 a year would be a great temptation for others, but Jason doesn't want to pay any attention to him now.
I thought Tony Stark was very interesting when I watched the movie, but after actually meeting Jason, I completely disliked the arrogant and conceited Tony now.
Before experiencing the training and transformation of Iron Man, Tony was just a bastard playboy!
"Thank you, Mr. Stark, but I prefer driving a food truck." Jason refused Tony with a smile on his face.
"Five hundred thousand, this price is not low. A Michelin chef would cost this much." Tony continued to raise the price. But Jason still shook his head unmoved.
"Okay, forget it." Tony shook his head and looked like he was ready to leave, but after only five steps he turned around and walked to Jason's food truck.
"One million! Kid, don't be too greedy!" Tony said viciously.
You spend a million just to eat a burger? You really want to! The thoughts of rich people are really terrible!
