Chapter 8 The new chapter isn't very interesting
New York, which is located in the north temperate zone of the middle latitudes of the earth, has a cold and snowy winter, and this cold is still maintained in the warm and humid air flow along the Hudson River into New York Bay in early spring. It maintains a relatively low temperature, making people wear coats, even in the afternoon, feeling a bit cold and windy, and would rather squat in a home with a burning, warm fireplace than come out. This is a good custom left over from 1770 A.D., when the British defeated the Dutch and established New York.
However, this rapidly developing capitalist society has ruthlessly broken the public order and good customs of society and built another set of rules. It makes people hardworking and working for their own lives, for their own happiness. People always have to work, because they need to work to earn money, and use the money to buy food and food, in exchange for the capital they live on.
And what Americans have inherited is not only good British customs, but also part of the British instinct in terms of cooking - partly because Americans do not have the ability to combine all ingredients to serve as dark cuisine, nor do they have the cruel taste of the British.
Add to that the cost calculation between the cost of cooking and the taste effect, and Americans who have become accustomed to optimal efficiency tend to choose fast food to eat out.
Because it's a good deal, after all, there are many flavors and low eating costs, so why bother making it yourself? Not to mention that the materials are expensive in the past to buy fast food, the taste is not as good as fast food, and I have to wash the dishes and brush the pot after the meal, why can't I choose fast food?
The taste of a city is definitely not summed up by a few well-dressed restaurants, just like a real trip is not limited to checking in to attractions. Measure the city's roads with your feet step by step, breathe in the city air, and eat a few street foods according to your mood and appetite – the focus is on the last sentence.
After people come back from traveling to other places, they tell their friends about the local scenery and cultural customs, but where the special food is - this is the real human nature, food, clothing, housing and transportation, food ranks fourth in the second row, of course, it is the first to talk about the scenery before eating, you will say that this is not the truth.
And when you arrive in the United States, the most important thing you can't miss is, of course, the mobile food truck.
Since the end of the 17th century, food trucks have first appeared on the streets of New York in the form of small carts. In the early 19th century, food trucks accompanied the United States through the depression and prosperity. When the economic market is sluggish, it is a comfort that is both cheap and satisfying. When economic activity is in full swing, it is an energy filler full of efficiency.
Against this backdrop, food trucks are naturally very popular in the United States.
Walking down the streets, you can see all kinds of food trucks in various squares, corners, and under the shade of trees, selling all kinds of food: chicken tacos, chicken nuggets in salads, crepes, freshly squeezed juices, hot dogs, burgers, and more.
Sacred Sword's food truck is also one of them.
As Whist says, no hunter would think of using a food truck as a way to make ends meet. Not to mention the natural disadvantage of Americans' talent for cooking, they can't even do the prerequisite for driving a food truck - that is, the license to operate a food truck.
Don't think that the United States is such a "dish-boiled" and "oil-nourishing" obese country does not have cumbersome licensing procedures. In other words, the government agencies in this case are bureaucratic and prosperous, the institutions are bloated, and the office speed is greatly lagging behind. Although the fast food truck industry is thriving, no matter which one it is, it is a license plate that has been obtained through countless hardships.
With a two-month start time and thousands of dollars in program costs, how can those poor ghost hunters afford it?
Linga has also lived in the United States and knows that living in a city like New York is not an easy solution from scratch. There are mountains of certifications required to work in all walks of life, which are either difficult to obtain, difficult to compete, or both.
Linga wiped the sweat from his forehead with a cloth and thought so happily, "As for the Holy Sword being able to walk this path, it is really a great luck. ”
In his more than 20 years of life, the most fortunate time in his life in the past 20 years was that he saved a car tycoon, and then the other party repaid the favor, so that he had the fast food truck that Lin Jia can live on.
It's just that there are some problems right now.
Linga's food truck is big because in addition to being a food truck, it is also the living place of Ringa and George, which determines that the car is not much smaller.
Before it was modified, this car was the largest D-type car in the American school bus operation, with a mid-engine, front-mounted doors, a maximum passenger capacity of 90 people, and weighed more than six tons more than an armed armored car, reaching a huge 16 tons, and the length of the car alone was close to 14 meters - this is much more powerful and domineering than the extended Rolls-Royce, isn't it?
There were two counters on the ground floor of the car, one selling fried chicken and fries, and the other selling sandwiches and hamburgers, one by George and the other with Holy Sword. But now, the window in charge of George has all the fried chicken, fries, sandwiches, and hamburgers, and there are a lot of customers in front of that counter. After all, the Holy Sword Society decided to make fast food, and he also relied on it.
That's his sauce.
As a colleague, when Lin Jia first tasted the secret sauce of the Holy Sword, even if he was as picky as Lin Jia, he had to give this peer a thumbs up. The sauce has four flavors, including the spicy taste of pepper, the sourness of tomato, the sunny aroma of olives, and the sweetness of honey.
So before coming to New York, Saint Sword's fast food truck "Riester" was also famous on the West Coast of the United States, and it was introduced in several travel food guide magazines.
Today, though, it seems that the "Magic Hand of the West Coast" is about to lose its reputation.
The two small steel shovels that he had been holding since eleven o'clock in the morning had not been officially used until two o'clock in the afternoon, which made Linga feel a little wrong. Obviously, as long as he held two shovels and lit a fire, there was a long queue in front of the stall in the past, why in the United States, this pancake fruit that is hot all over the country of 9.6 million square kilometers and hot for more than 1.4 billion people is so bleak? !
It wasn't until the last customer took over the hot dog known as the Golden Experience from George, and most of them entered their busy afternoon working hours, that Ringa sold zero pancakes.
“…… Otis helped me clean up the counter," Linga said, and threw the shovel backwards, letting it whirl through the air, waiting for the moment to fall to the ground.
However, the clamping arms of the two machines appeared on the line where the shovel fell and caught it easily. And the cooking table where Linga was standing before also had several robotic arms hanging down to clean it.
Linga, who had entered a state of idleness, leaned back on the bench and fell into a state of distraction.
This has been going on for three days.
