Chapter Thirty-Three: The Stark Group, which is in short supply of chefs

The day after coming to Earth No. 1, Li Jie pushed his small cart out of the stall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn 1965, street management in the United States was not so strict, and there were few police or other government agencies to control the stalls.

Especially in the world of Earth One, in this world, the real trouble for the stalls is not the police, but the gangsters on the streets. They will come and collect all sorts of protection fees. Of course, most of the gangsters who collect the protection money of the stalls are not on the table. Big gangs, even if they want to collect protection money, go to all kinds of stores or companies with facades. If you don't give it, you will make people uneasy.

When Li Jie's stall was just set up, a group of such people came, which was different from the main world. In New York on Earth One in 1965, the majority of gangsters were white. People of other colors are basically in the stage of being squeezed, especially black people who are cowering in their own communities and dare not go out. Because there are gangs that specialize in making trouble for blacks.

The [white supremacy] Ku Klux Klan in this world is very, very arrogant, for example, Li Jie was asked to get into trouble with the Spitfire Gang in a bar because of this, because he is obviously not Caucasian.

Li Jie did a little disguise, and it was very dark that night. In fact, Mei and Anthony didn't see Li Jie's appearance very clearly.

Although Li Jie has made some disguises, his appearance is still a bit troublesome in this world, and the physical characteristics of mixed-race children are still very conspicuous.

In 1965, the lower class of New York was really a world of reasoning with fists, the law was not much use, and the police could not do anything, so they resolutely did not care about things. Anyway, more is better than less.

After Li Jie set up the stall, he also bought a lot of newspapers and magazines from the newsstand next door, and the source of the money was found from the members of the Spitfire Gang who he got rid of yesterday, about a few hundred dollars.

He rummaged through all the newspapers, and the news that he had killed a dozen gang members last night did not appear in the newspapers at all, or the newspapers did not take it seriously. Just wrote that a fire broke out in a certain street and more than a dozen gang members died. Then it was brushed aside, which also made Li Jie fully aware of the dark nature of this world, and the death of more than a dozen lives in New York City was not taken seriously.

After that, it's time to check out the various news and messages to get a general idea of the world. After all, in a world without the Internet, newspapers, magazines and books are the only way to learn about these things.

There is no Captain America in this world, there is no Steve Rogers, Howard died at a very early age, and now the heir to the Stark Group is young Anthony. But he has not yet come to power, and in fact the head of the management of the Stark Group is Peter Parker..................

One by one, all kinds of different things invaded Li Jie's head, and the world and the atrium were really completely different.

Just when Li Jie felt a little headache, he heard the sound of Mei slapping the iron railing, and the sentence: "Is there hot coffee?"

At this time, Li Jie shifted his eyes from the newspaper and looked at the father and daughter who were in front of his stall.

His eyes widened, wait? Am I dazzled? Why does this girl in front of me look so much like Mary Jane? At least seven or eight points alike! And who is standing next to her? Although he is not sure, Li Jie inexplicably felt that the fifty-year-old man's face looked a bit like a combination of Peter Parker and Ben Parker.

By the way, the magazine he just read, Li Jie quickly glanced at a New York weekly, and the back cover character on it was the man in front of him, and his name was Peter Parker.

Li Jie was a little bared, he had just spread out in front of the Stark Group, although he had the idea of contacting the Iron Man of this world, or contacting Spider-Man, but he didn't expect to meet the person he wanted to meet at the beginning.

Mei looked at the stall owner of the cart in front of her with some curiosity, it was the first time she had seen someone doing business so slowly, and she kept staring at the customer, which was not good. So May opened her mouth again and asked, "Is there any hot coffee?"

At this time, Li Jie came back to his senses and said, "I'm sorry that there is no hot coffee, but do you need other hot drinks?"

Now that Li Jie has come to his senses, and is thinking about how to connect with the heroes of this world, just like Anthony he saw yesterday, he has determined that it is Iron Man. Although this Iron Man is weak and a little timid. But at least in that environment, he was still willing to wear body armor and a gun to save himself, just with such courage and responsibility, Li Jie felt that he should help him.

At the very least, you can't make the name of Iron Man fall so badly, and Iron Man who can't even handle a dozen gangsters can still be called Iron Man?

Li Jie smiled and said to Mei that he didn't serve hot coffee here, and it was too troublesome to make hot coffee, and he needed a coffee machine. He really doesn't want to sell instant coffee, because not many people buy instant coffee.

Mei was not disappointed when she heard that there was no hot coffee, it was originally a small stall, and she did not expect it to be sold. So she asked again, "So what's the hot drink?" or hot soup?"

After three hours of cold wind blowing in the cemetery, Mei's body was cold from the inside out, and she desperately needed a steaming drink or soup to refresh herself, whether it was hot cocoa or hot tomato soup.

Li Jie smiled at Mei and Peter, then opened the lid of the square pot that was originally placed on the trolley, and said, "Hot drinks provide hot milk tea, hot lemon tea." If it's soup, it's only about the soup of the oden, and the oden here is it. ”

The lid of the pot above the trolley is lifted, and the white water vapor rises, what is the most attractive thing in the cold winter? Steaming hot pot counts as one, spicy hot pot counts as one, and oden naturally counts as one.

Oden is similar to hot pot and nabezai in many places, and it is simmered in a broth made with kombu (kelp) and bonito or bonito. While making the ingredients flavorful, the flavor of the soup penetrates into the ingredients.

Inside the square pot on Li Jie's stall are oden with six different ingredients, radish, kelp, eggs, beef tendon, fish cake and bamboo shoots.

The lid was lifted, and there was a rich fragrance coming out of the heat, a fresh and sweet smell from the ingredients, which instantly opened up Mei and Peter's sense of smell that was not keen because of the cold of winter.

Mei's throat moved, she had just wanted a cup of coffee, but she was suddenly hungry at the smell of it. After all, I set off in the morning to go to the cemetery and come back now. The journey back and forth, combined with the time spent at the cemetery, was actually one o'clock noon now, and it was time for lunch.

May glanced at Peter and said, "Dad, or shall we eat something?"

Peter sniffed and glanced at Li Jie, his spider sense didn't warn him of danger, so he nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to eat it." ”

Peter was not so particular, after all, he lived in poverty when he was young, and when he was really poor, he couldn't even afford a roadside stall.

Li Jie's small food truck is very clean, and the kitchenware on the side looks very professional (after all, it is a legendary kitchenware). And the smell is really appetizing, and a bowl of hot stew in winter is pretty good. Anyway, Peter doesn't seem to have much difference between oden and stew (in fact, there is no difference).

The father and daughter, who originally wanted to drink coffee, turned into a stew, and basically asked for one serving of each ingredient, and Peter asked for two portions of beef tendon.

Li Jie took out two disposable cutlery from the dining car and put them in front of Peter and his daughter, and took out enough oden for them, and then quietly poured out some liquid from the dragon pot under the dining car and mixed it into the oden soup.

It was some of Li Jie's secret soup ingredients, not the big road goods of oden sold on the counter, but a special soup made with legendary kitchen utensils. When boiling the soup, Li Jie deliberately controlled a considerable part of the energy to pour into the soup, so that the taste of the soup not only became better, but also had a special effect.

As was the case with the Parker father and daughter, May's eyes widened when she took her first sip of soup, and Peter looked even more surprised, barely hiding his expression.

After taking the first sip, he closed his eyes for a moment, and then immediately took a second sip. He glanced at May, who gave him a look of disbelief.

Because both of them clearly felt that this soup contained some strange energy, which made the whole person's body warm the moment it entered the stomach, and the whole person's body was as comfortable as if it was penetrated by heat.

This feeling is not the stimulation of sweating after eating that kind of spicy food, but a more neutral and peaceful feeling, and the whole body is like doing a hot bath after a bowl of soup.

Without much thought, Peter said, "Hello sir, could I ask you how to make this soup?"

Li Jie looked at old Peter with an expression that you amuse me, how did he feel that this old Peter's emotional intelligence was the same as that of young Peter?

Peter soon knew that he seemed to be asking questions in the wrong way: "I'm sorry, I was abrupt. I just wanted to know why I felt warm and energized when I drank this soup, as if I had a large slice of American ginseng in it. ”

Li Jie smiled: "This is a kind of dietary therapy. It is especially good in winter, especially useful for weak qi and blood, and also good for cold, I used some healthy herbs. ”

Peter listened to Li Jie's words and fell into deep thought, and Mei felt much more relaxed after eating her oden, and she invited Li Jie as if she had thought of something: "Sir, are you interested in working for Stark Group?"

"Huh?" Li Jie was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing?"

Mei said of course: "Naturally, as a chef, our company can provide a good salary, at least better than you set up a street stall." Of course, you will need to provide the most basic health qualification checks to enter. ”

Peter didn't stop May from talking, he seemed to think of something, he just smiled on the side.

And Li Jie touched his chin, it seems that the Stark Group is really short of chefs, and Tony invited himself in the world of the atrium. When he arrived on Earth One, Peter's daughter also came to invite him.
