Chapter 6 Food Truck Program and Summer Interns

"Make money?!Of course, I'd love to!" Peter Parker agreed as soon as he heard that he could earn some pocket money. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "You don't know what I'm going to do, you agree immediately." Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?" Li Jie said jokingly. "Of course don't worry, you're my buddy. How could you lie to me? Would you lie to me? You wouldn't lie to me, would you, Jason. Peter Parker's mouth was like a cannon, and Li Jie regretted that he asked more.

"Okay Parker, I think you should know. My dream is to become a world-renowned top chef in the future. "Li Jie is not joking, his dream in his past and present life has always been to become a super chef. But in his previous life, he lived on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. The social status of the chef there is really not high, at the request of the family. He gave up his dream of becoming a top chef.

But reliving a lifetime, Li Jie's ideals have not changed. He still loves to cook and likes to be overwhelmed by his cooking. Moreover, the social status of chefs in the United States is significantly higher than that of the original country on the other side of the ocean. As a good chef, the income in the United States is also quite high. The annual income of a chef of a well-known restaurant will not be worse than the management of many companies, and there are many chefs in the United States who receive hundreds of thousands of dollars a year plus restaurant dividends. Even some chefs run their own restaurants that can earn millions of dollars a year.

So when Li Jie's idea of becoming a chef was told to his family, his parents and grandfather expressed their support. And my grandfather really wanted someone to take over from Mr. Li's restaurant, which he owned. Li Jie has helped in the back kitchen of his grandfather's restaurant since he was a child, he knows the restaurant very well, and he is also very talented in cooking, Li Jie's grandfather Li Rong even plans to let Li Jie take over the restaurant directly after graduating from high school.

"So you're going to open a restaurant, and let me be a waiter?" Peter guessed. "No~No~No~. Now I don't have the capital to open a restaurant, and that would require a lot of money. Li Jie denied Peter's unreliable conjecture. "And I'm not going to take over my grandfather's restaurant right now, because Mr. Li's style is too old. If you want to take over, you need a complete renovation, which will also require a lot of money. My plan is to drive a food truck first!"

"Food truck~!I like the idea!What do I need to do!"Peter liked the plan to drive the food truck. As one of the cultural symbols of American food, food trucks have many supporters throughout the United States. Unlike the idea that many people understand that food trucks = selling junk fast food, food trucks are also divided into three, six, nine and so on in the United States. The food truck that serves excellent and delicious food will even be recommended by Michelin magazine. And the United States also has a nationwide rating of food trucks every year, and the judges are all ordinary diners. Let the average diner vote for the most distinctive and delicious food truck in the whole of America. It is no exaggeration to say that a well-known food truck in the United States can earn no less annual income than those high-end Western restaurants in Manhattan.

The fact that the fast food truck sells while walking and has no fixed stalls is a major feature that attracts diners. It seems that these delicacies are all in hiding with you. Some avid diners will even follow in the footsteps of a food truck to travel through most of the United States.

"I got a loan from my parents, about $20,000. I'm going to pick up a used Chevrolet box car for a remodel, plus buy kitchenware and stock up on the first place. That's about $16,000. There are also 4,000 for liquidity. Li Jie explained his detailed plan to Peter as he drove. "It also costs about a thousand dollars to go to the federal government to make a food truck file. I'm going to start business during the summer vacation, and we both have driver's licenses. Legally both of us are adults, and we can run a food truck while taking a two-month trip along the East Coast. We can go to Philadelphia ~ Boston ~ Buffalo and other places. ”

"Wow~!That's cool, man, I mean it's really cool!We can drive to any city on the East Coast and travel while selling food!I'm excited just thinking about it!I'm going to convince Uncle Ben and Aunt May to agree that I'm going with you!" Peter loved the plan, even if it wasn't profitable. Due to the family's financial constraints, Peter has hardly traveled to cities other than New York, except for the travel and study arranged by the school. Lee's two-month trip to major cities on the East Coast to sell food was very much to Peter's appetite.

The little spider, who was originally in a low mood, immediately became happy and left her worries behind. In the car, the two began to discuss the specific plan of the food truck, even what food to sell, and what kind of pattern the food truck needs to be painted on the outside of the food truck to attract customers. Along the way, the two listened to music and chatted about the topic and soon came to school.

"Jason, can you help me adjust the angle of the photo?" After the morning class, Li Jie accompanied Peter to the school's photography corner during the lunch break. This is a special place for students who have a talent for photography, and you can show off your photos that you think are good. Peter has just developed the photos taken at HSD last week and are ready to show them here.

When the two of them were adjusting the angle of the photo, Li Jie saw an orange-red blue ball flying towards the position of the two from the corner of his eye. If it was Li Jie before, it was estimated that he would definitely be hit by the basketball, but now Li Jie's skills are much faster, and he used his left hand to knock the basketball away before the basketball touched the two of them.

Following the direction where the basketball was flying, Li Jie saw Thompson, the main power forward of the school basketball team, and a group of fox friends and dogs around him. "I'm sorry, Lee, I just slipped my hand. Thompson's apology seemed insincere, and the snickering friends around him made it seem hypocritical. It looks like Thompson obviously deliberately smashed the basketball hard to see Peter and Lee ugly.

Peter hasn't gotten Spider-Man's superpowers yet, so he's always been a skinny nerd who can be easily bullied at school. And Lee is widely popular with girls in school because of his handsome appearance, which makes Thompson even more unhappy. So since the first grade, Thompson has been at odds with the two.

Peter just realized what had just happened, "Hey~ It's okay, it's okay buddy." Peter wanted to hold off a somewhat angry Li Jie. But Peter's current small physique can't even pull the original Li Jie, let alone Li Jie, who is now physically strengthened.

Thompson is 1.90 meters tall, and because the position of the power forward in basketball requires fierce confrontation, he is also physically strong, and he is considered a bully in school. Others may be afraid of him, but Li Jie is not afraid of him. Li Jie also studied some self-defense techniques very seriously before he was systematically strengthened, and his physique was also very strong. In the past two years, there have been many conflicts with Thompson, and the two have also fought a few times outside of school.

Although Thompson, who is 1.90 meters tall, is a few centimeters taller than Li Jie, who is 1.82 meters tall, he is not Li Jie's opponent when he fights. The two have fought a total of three times, and Li Jie has two wins and one defeat. For a prickly guy like Thompson who doesn't remember what to eat, Li Jie feels that it is completely useless to be reasonable, and he can only use his fists to let him feel the value of love between classmates.

"Thompson, do you want to fight?" Li Jie easily shook off Peter's hand and strode towards Thompson. The students in the entire corridor looked at this, the conflict between Thompson and Li Jie is very famous in the school, since Thompson provoked Li Jie in the first grade, Li Jie has never thought about calming things down.

"Hey~hey, I'm sorry Jason, I'm sorry. Thompson didn't mean to. A friend next to Thompson stepped forward and separated Lee Kit from Thompson. To prevent the two from really fighting, he knew that Thompson might not be able to beat Li Jie. If the fight is lost, then Thompson will also be ridiculed on the team. "Thompson still has to go to practice, do you think that's it?"

And Thompson was forced out of the corridor by a few friends, in fact, he also wanted to provoke Li Jie, but he really didn't dare to fight with Li Jie. Li Jie watched Thompson being pulled away, and knew that this fight could not be fought, so he could only forget it and continue to go back to help Peter adjust the photo.

"Cool ~ Jason. It looks like that stupid big guy just now was scared of you. Harry Osborne's voice came from behind the two of them. "Harry, I didn't see you this morning, and I thought you weren't coming to class again. Peter and Li Jie greeted Harry Osborne and chatted. "Oh~ No way, my dad hasn't been in good health lately. I wanted to spend more time with him, and he wanted me to learn how to manage the company sooner. It may be a period of time before the summer vacation to be absent. Harry replied.

The three of them chatted as they walked towards the school cafeteria. After ordering three lunches, the three of them walked to the lawn of the school lawn and sat on the ground, chatting while eating. "Peter, I remember you were interested in biotechnology and genetics," Harry suddenly mentioned the major that Peter was interested in. "Well~ yes, if you can. I would like to find a job in a laboratory after graduation. Harry replied with a bite of bread.

"That's Peter, I know you want to go to MIT. But you should know that MIT's biotechnology and genetics majors are not as good as NYU's. And the Osborne Group is now looking for summer interns to provide opportunities for talented young people. And I can recommend you to Dr. Connors's group as an intern in their group. Dr. Connors is an expert in genetics and biology and a prominent alumnus of New York University. If you do well, ask him to write a letter of recommendation for you, so that you can get a full scholarship to NYU. Are you interested?" Harry looked at Peter with a serious face, waiting for Peter to make a decision.

Peter was feeling very embarrassed now, and if it had been before, he would have agreed without hesitation. But this morning, I promised Li Jie to go to his fast food truck to help, but it turned out that it would be too unfriendly to change the hexagram at noon. "Harry, thank you....." Peter was about to refuse Harry's kindness, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Li Jie next to him. "Peter, you should go, it's a good opportunity. Working with the best biologists in the world is an opportunity that many people have always dreamed of. "But I promised..." It's nothing good, it's my dream to be a chef, it's not yours, you said you want to be a good scientist. "Li Jie directly helped Peter make the decision, which is related to Peter Parker's life.

As a friend, Peter should not be blamed for this kind of thing, and Li Jie is not mistaken. Dr. Connors will later be the famous Spider-Man's early villain Dr. Lizard. And Peter Parker was bitten by a spider because he went to the Osborne Group before he mutated into Spider-Man. If he can't become Spider-Man, will Peter Parker's life be complete?

Harry later learned that in the morning, Li Jie invited Peter to help with the food truck business during the summer vacation. In fact, both of them had the idea of helping Peter, which touched Peter very much. It is enough for a person to have one or two such close friends in his life.

Looking at Peter and Harry, who were laughing in front of him, Li Jie sighed in his heart. "It's always coming, Spider-Man is coming soon, will other superheroes be far away?"
