Manhattan Chinatown, MR-LI Restaurant. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although it was already ten o'clock in the evening, the reception of the dinner in the restaurant had been completed, and the last wave of guests had already left ten minutes ago. But the kitchen is still busy.

Not just to wrap up the day, but also to prepare for an important holiday. That is the Dragon Boat Festival.

Most Chinese attach great importance to traditional festivals, and although some people do not understand the meaning behind each festival, they attach great importance to it at least on the surface. Because the various festivals in China are related to many delicious foods. As long as you love good food, most of them will remember.

Just like the Dragon Boat Festival, in fact, many third-generation Chinese immigrants in the United States no longer know what the meaning of the Dragon Boat Festival is. However, there are many elders in the family who come to Chinatown to buy zongzi on this day.

The rice dumplings served at MR-LI are very famous in Manhattan's Chinatown. Because the chef of the restaurant, Master Wang, is from Zhejiang and he himself is from Chaozhou, so he is very interested in Jiaxing meat dumplings.

At the same time, because Chaozhou is close to Fujian, it is the intersection of Guangdong and Fujian cultures. He also has research on steamed rice dumplings in Guangdong and large meat dumplings in Quanzhou, Fujian.

So MR-LI's rice dumplings are particularly well done. It is even better than many long-established rice dumplings in Chinese mainland. It is not uncommon for many Chinese who travel to New York during the Dragon Boat Festival to eat MR-LI's zongzi and then buy a few more boxes to take back to China.

Therefore, every time the Dragon Boat Festival comes, the zongzi in the restaurant are out of stock, which is almost every year. At this time of year, people from all over the restaurant come to help make zongzi, even if it's a small worker who does lotus.

This year, the task is even more arduous, because in addition to the number of zongzi to be completed. Li Jie, the small owner of the restaurant, asked to make 700 more zongzi on the original basis, and he needed to give them away.

This makes the restaurant even busier. However, although Li Jie gave the order, he was not waiting for everyone to do it, but he also personally got his hands on the bag and sped up together. So there were no complaints.

Of course, Li Jie is going to make an extra 700 zongzi, which he can't eat himself, but use it to give away. Relatives and friends at home don't need him to take care of it, grandpa Li Rong will take care of it.

But Li Jie himself still has friends. Especially as a night walker, his identity is all over the world, these are all human favors! This kind of thing pays the most attention to the exchange of courtesies, in order to maintain everyone's relationship, some necessary things need to be done. He didn't know if the seven hundred zongzi were enough to be a favor.

He prepared many flavors of rice dumplings. Including dates, red beans, bean paste, salted egg yolk fresh meat, plum dried vegetables and pork belly, braised eggs with mushrooms, shrimp and conpoy, abalone and sea cucumber and other different flavors of zongzi.

It took a night to work overtime and cook in the restaurant's professional-grade pressure cooker. Fortunately, it was sent out during the Dragon Boat Festival the next day.

………………

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Jie, as the boss of Marvel Comics, drove his own broken ford to deliver zongzi all over New York.

Stark Industries Building.

"What's this thing called?" Tony looked at the rice dumplings wrapped in green rice leaves with some disgust.

"Zongzi, traditional Chinese food. I think you and Pepp can have a taste. Li Jie sent about five rice dumplings to Tony and Pepp, considering that they were not necessarily used to it, so he didn't send more.

The steamed rice dumplings from the best rice dumpling leaves exude a fresh fragrance, and Pei Bo likes the taste, she says, "Can you taste it now?"

Li Jie helped Tony and Peibo peel two rice dumplings and said, "Of course!"

He chose a more fragrant and lighter date zongzi for Peibo, because Peibo has always been a light food. Zongzi that is too greasy is not her dish.

And for Tony, it was a heavy mouthful of braised eggs with shiitake mushrooms, shrimp conpoy, and braised pork dumplings. Well, Tony, who has recently been tabooed by Pepp, is very satisfied, he has not eaten such a heavy and meaty food for a long time, and he feels like he is about to become a rabbit after eating vinaigrette salad every day lately.

When the two were eating zongzi, Li Jie said hello to Tony: "Today, May 30th, June 1st is International Children's Day, I want to hold an event." I hope you can participate as Iron Man. ”

Now that Tony has licensed the copyright of Iron Man to Marvel, it is understandable for him to attend the events arranged by the company.

"What's the activity?" asked Tony as he nibbled on a meat dumpling, the look of gravy sticky rice on his beard was a little indecent.

"Naturally, it's about children, and I'll send you a PowerPoint later. Let's go first!" Li Jie left the Stark Group as he spoke, he still had a lot of zongzi to give.

Three blocks away from Stark Group, the Osborne Group.

Harry and Peter also received rice dumplings from Li Jie, and they got more of them. Because in the past few years, they have become more fond of eating Li Jie's dumplings.

Without Li Jie's guidance, the little green goblin and the little spider skillfully found their favorite flavors to eat. The little spider likes the abalone and sea cucumber flavor, and the little green goblin likes the bean paste flavor.

When eating zongzi, Li Jie also mentioned to Peter that there was an event on June 1st, and he said that there was no problem and he would definitely participate.

Inside the Night's Watch base.

Li Jie brought more than fifty zongzi here, and except for Zeng Chu, the others in the base couldn't understand what this thing was.

"Is this food?" said Mike, rubbing his beard, skeptically.

"It should be food. The big dad also touched his beard and said.

"Food for sure. Frank the Punisher stroked his beard and said firmly.

"You can't be annoyed! you can eat if you want!" Mindy was very upset with the grinding and chirping of several old men. She had already picked up a dumpling and handed it to Barbara (a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who had been secretly assigned by Nick Fury to come in after making a deal with Frank. And at the same time got one for yourself. She didn't pick any flavors.

Because it's almost Children's Day, and Mindy can still live this festival at his age, Li Jie asked, "What gift do you want the day after tomorrow?"

"Well, a butterfly knife made of Edelman alloy is best used seven inches long, with a double-sided or single-sided edge. Then it would be nice to decorate the handle with crocodile leather in its place. Mindy was straight about what she wanted.

Well, it's not at all a gift that a girl in this grade should love. Li Jie was a little entangled in whether to give it to Mindy.

in Canada.

Li Jie contacted the professor as the editor-in-chief of Marvel, and asked Flicker to come to New York and bring the zongzi back.

Wolverine Logan was a little curious about these things, and Li Jie asked Twinkle to pass the word back that it was food, and also demonstrated how to eat it. But before Logan could explain how to eat them, he took a bite.

The zongzi was swallowed along with the zongzi leaves, and he chewed it back and said, "Why is the skin of this thing so hard? Is it because he failed?"

Belch...... , Flickering was a little entangled in whether to tell Logan that no one actually eats zongzi leaves. However, seeing that Logan didn't care, Flicker also decided that she didn't need to worry about Logan's stomach, after all, Wolverine's little thing should be fine, as long as he was happy.

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Li Jie was not qualified to enter here, but he entrusted Captain Rogers to bring in the zongzi. After all, now Captain Rogers' copyright is also in his hands, and he can be regarded as his own customer.

Captain Rogers was a little surprised that Li Jie gave zongzi to the Avengers during the Dragon Boat Festival, but he was happy to accept it.

When Captain Rogers came in with a large pile of rice dumplings in the Avengers' lounge, the first thing he smelled was Iron Fist. Iron Fist, who has practiced in Kunlun, China for twenty years, is familiar with this taste.

"Captain, you also celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival of the Chinese?" Iron Fist Daniel was a little surprised.

"No, it was sent by Jason. is the editor-in-chief of Marvel. It's a holiday gift for the Avengers. Captain Rogers placed fifty rice dumplings on the long table for the players to use for themselves.

After the iron fist opened a meat dumpling, the hero Luke Cage leaned over and said, "It smells good." ”

"It's really good. "Iron Fist is very familiar with the taste of zongzi, in fact, because he grew up in Kunlun, he is a little more used to eating Chinese food than American food.

"It's much better than the zongzi I made by Xiao Liu in Kunlun. ”

Vampire Hunter Blade also took a zongzi and asked, "Who is Xiao Liu?"

"Chef, graduated from New Oriental, the highest school for Chinese chefs, he is the youngest superchef in Chinese history. He once studied cooking in a hotel in Guangdong, and he rose to prominence at a dim sum contest in Guangzhou, where he was best at cooking Sichuan food, and it is said that his mother ran a state-run restaurant in Sichuan, called Ju He Lou, I forgot. The mapo tofu he makes is delicious! But he's not good at making zongzi. Iron Fist briefly talked about Xiao Liu's legendary experience.

Captain Rogers clapped his palms and said, "Everyone, the day after tomorrow is Children's Day. Jason wanted us to be able to participate in some of the events organized by Marvel, mainly for children. ”

There was no objection to this proposal.

Kamataki.

Through the New York Temple, Li Jie teleported here directly, and at the same time came here with the most zongzi. Because considering the number of Kamataki cultivators, even one person and one zongzi would be hundreds.

Li Jie found a large cardboard box directly from the back kitchen, put a large snakeskin bag on it, and brought hundreds of zongzi to Kamataki.

In the surprised eyes of the ancient one, he took out the zongzi and said to the ancient one: "The zongzi of the Dragon Boat Festival!"

"Hahaha!" Gu Yi hadn't laughed so happily for a long time, although it was just a zongzi. He asked the king to move the dumplings to the back kitchen, and Kamataki ate them at noon today.

"Oh, by the way, there's a little box in it for Loki in Asgard. You may need to trouble the Ancient One, you're out of the question. Li Jie said while Gu Yi was in a good mood.

"Oh, why did you think of sending rice dumplings to Asgard too?" Gu Yi looked at Li Jie with a smile.

"It's not strange to have a lot of people! Loki gave me a thunder knife!" Li Jie said that he was a simple child, and his ideas were also very simple.

Gu Yi smiled and didn't say anything, but then he did communicate with Odin to open the Rainbow Bridge, and he went to Asgard to deliver zongzi.

"Zongzi? What is this?" Odin and the Ancient One have known each other for many years, and the two have a good relationship and have given each other many gifts, but this is the first time that food is such a thing.

"This is a gift from Li Jie, who helped to discipline Thor, the rice dumplings made by their family. I tasted it and it tasted good. The Ancient One said to Odin.

"This pile is for Rogie. ”

Odin looked at his old friend and blinked, but the ancient one pretended not to see. After saying these words, he turned and left. Odin summoned Valkyrie, the Valkyrie, to take these dumplings to the front and give them to Rogie.

Elven Kingdom Front.

"Can such an ugly thing be a gift?" Rogie was very, very disgusted with unpretentious rice dumplings. Come to think of it, she is the most favored second princess of Asgard who even uses the golden fleece as a carpet and the artifact as a regular dress. She really doesn't like this thing like zongzi.

Still, Valkyrie said, "It's from the Nightkin of mortal dust." Say what is the special food of what festival. After all, I was tired of the ancient mage who crossed the rainbow bridge and sent it. And I ate one before and it tasted pretty good. ”

Luo Ji shook her head helplessly and said, "Then let's leave one." The rest is given to the other Valkyrie Gods to eat. None of them have ever eaten it. ”

Valkyrie took the order and left. Rogie looked at a lone dumpling left on the table and smiled silently. Then she walked to the map, and she still had a lot of things to do!

June 1, International Children's Day. This day is a holiday for children all over the world. No matter where they are, children should have a happy day.

The same should be true for children at Santa Maria Mary's Hospital. This is a professional pediatric leukemia hospital, leukemia is not a terminal disease, as long as you find a suitable bone marrow can be cured. But some people are unlucky and can't find the right one.

Most children with leukemia lose their vitality because they can't run and play.

Most of the time, they are not as lively and playful as ordinary children. But today, all the children are staring out the window, and some children keep asking the nurses or parents around them, "Is Iron Man here?"

Yes, this is one of the activities that Li Jie has arranged today.

While all the children were looking forward to it, Tony Stark pushed the patients out of the room in a suit and walked in. He smiled and said, "Happy holidays, kids!"

He prepared sweets and pastries and a variety of toys and comic books for all the children, but the children were still disappointed. Everyone wants to see Iron Man, not Tony Stark.

Children don't hide their feelings, they write their disappointment directly on their faces.

Adults are not, after all, as the world's top richest people, it is already very good to be able to take time out of their busy schedules to participate in this kind of event, and they can't ask for more.

Tony saw the disappointed expressions on the children's faces and knew exactly what they were for. After receiving Li Jie's PPT, he didn't sleep for two nights, working overtime to catch up with some special {toys}.

He whispered, "Jarvis." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, a special team of Iron Man armor flew into the room from the balcony outside the window. They are small in size and completely different from the armor of adults, this is a children's version of [Iron Warframe].

"I know what you're expecting!kids!" Tony was tired, but with a smile on his face, "You want to see Iron Man, but instead of watching Iron Man, how about you become Iron Man yourself!"

In the middle of Tony's words, the children's steel armors had opened their hatches, waiting to be piloted. The children, who were already excited, erupted in a burst of cheers.

This is a story from a manga, and the general content is the story of Iron Fist's various difficulties encountered in his cultivation and then overcome. Luke Cage drew an ugly makeup to pretend to be the villain boss.

At Queens Fourth Elementary School, Spider-Man Peter Parker is telling his story to his little fans.

As the top brand of Marvel, Spider-Man's comics won the most audiences with their light-hearted humor, and at the same time, the artists used the main body of Spider-Man as a variant to create a children's Spider-Man comic.

It has attracted many children to become audiences. Spider-Man has truly become a super idol of all ages.

At Erranta Girls' School, Avengers member White Tiger not only brought the girls holiday sweets, but also taught the children some simple self-defense techniques and self-protection awareness.

The United States is the hardest hit area for sexual assault of minors, especially cases of assault of young girls. White Tiger takes advantage of her feminine advantages to give girls all kinds of explanations and self-protection.

And then interspersed with a little anecdote from The Avengers, which makes the girls feel really good.

Blade goes to another school, where he participates in a school's June Day event. Even though he was super cool and didn't want to talk, the kids were still happy.

Because sometimes this super cool image is also very attractive.

Captain Rogers is the busiest, and Lee Jay has quite a few activities scheduled for him. Whether it's a speech, or a performance, or something else. He needs to go to schools and children's organizations to advocacy.

At the same time, I also have to go to a special school for troubled teenagers to give a presentation.

Even with Captain Rodgers' super physical strength, he felt a little tired after running all day today.

As the organizer of the event, Marvel editor Jason Lee was always there, and he handed a bottle of Gatorade to Captain Rogers, who looked a little tired, and said, "Is it okay?"

"Actually, I feel pretty good. Captain Rogers gulped down a sports drink. "You're a good idea, and it's actually bringing us closer to our children and the people. ”

Li Jie smiled: "I don't want this to be just an image engineering captain." This may be a long-term job later. The world is cold and lacks role models. We need to set an example for the world. Because that's what it really means to be a hero!"

"It's not about how many villains you've defeated, it's not how many times you've saved the planet. Rather, it acts as a beacon when everyone loses their way, showing everyone the way in the dark. Captain Rogers listened to Jack's words.

"No matter how rough the road ahead is, we must continue with firm faith and unrepentant perseverance. Become a sword that breaks through the darkness and a light in the fog. It's a lot harder than defeating a few villains. ”

Rogers chimed in, "yes, it's a lot harder. ”

"But after all, there are still people to do these things, otherwise why does this world need heroes?" Li Jie looked at Captain Rogers with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This sentence made Captain Rogers full of energy again, yes, the world needs such heroes!
