Marvel: Chinese Restaurant Beginning in Hell's Kitchen

After taking Pepper away from the yacht, the system also gave feedback.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and successfully unlocking the new product - Sweet and Sour Carp."

Tsk tsk.

Li Jie was already drooling a little.

The reason why carp is so overpopulated in the United States is mainly because it has spines, and these foreigners can't eat them.

But for Li Jie, it is a rare delicacy.

After Li Jie rescued Pepper, Iron Man Tony arrived at the scene.

Dr. Killian, who had just recovered from his injury, saw fire in his eyes when he saw Iron Man Tony, and then the two men started a duel over a woman.

When Xiao Laiji woke up, Li Jie had already prepared a sweet and sour carp and served it on the table.

Peter Parker frowned and said:

"Boss, if I admit my mistake correctly, this should be a carp, right?"

"Good taste, try it."

Li Jie handed over the chopsticks.

After Peter Parker took the chopsticks, he hesitated to take action. Instead, he stared at the carp and said:

"No, boss, is this thing really edible?"

"What does it mean to be able to eat it?

This is a rare delicacy! "

Li Jie rolled his eyes.

Because carp have no natural predators here in the United States, most of them grow to huge sizes.

Take the carp on the plate as an example. After removing its internal organs, it still weighs ten kilograms.

A fish this big basically doesn’t have any small spines, just big spines.

As long as you're not stupid, you don't have to worry about getting a thorn stuck in your throat.

In addition, in addition to being plump, this fish does not have any earthy smell.

It is a very rare ingredient.

Seeing that Xiao Laijiao woke up, Li Jie asked:

"Would you like a taste?"

Little Pepper swallowed after smelling the aroma of sweet and sour carp, but like Peter Parker, she doubted whether the carp was edible.

“Jack, I feel like something is very wrong with me.

By the way, why am I here? "

Li Jie replied: "I brought you here.

Now Tony is dueling with Killian, I suggest you take a rest here first and taste the delicious food. "

"duel?"

Little Pepper screamed and at the same time smashed the dining table with too much force and shouted in panic,

"Jack, I'm sorry.

I don't know what's wrong with me, but I feel like something is wrong with me. "

Li Jie didn't care. Iron Man had plenty of money anyway, so he just let that guy pay for it.

“Little Pepper, you don’t have to worry.

You were simply injected with the Extremis virus by Dr. Killian, and now the Extremis virus is taking effect in your body.

You have all the abilities that those desperate warriors have, or even stronger ones."

"You mean to say that I'm a mutant now?"

Little Pepper frowned, feeling that this was not good news.

Li Jie replied: "Your body has undergone some mutations and has acquired powerful abilities.

However, I don't think the mutants will admit that you are in the same group with them.

All right.

This dish loses its flavor once it gets cold, so if you guys don’t want to eat it, I’ll start eating.”

As he spoke, Li Jie picked up a piece of meat from under the fish head and put it into his mouth.

Li Jie is not very particular about eating fish. It can be said that it is a habit for him to start eating from the fish neck.

Because a carp weighing about two kilograms has a lot of small bones, only the neck of the fish has plump meat and few bones, so Li Jie always chooses to start from this part when eating carp.

The fried carp is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sweet and sour soup makes it taste amazing.

When the fish meat is picked up, the bones and meat are separated immediately, and there is not a single thorn in the fresh meat.

You don’t have to worry about it getting stuck in your throat, and it tastes very good.

In the blink of an eye, one-fifth of the fish was caught.

Peter Parker and Pepper couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this.

Is it really that delicious?

Both of them licked their lips, and with trust in the Chinese restaurant and Li Jie, they sat down, picked up their chopsticks and took a bite.

At first, the two were worried that they would get stuck by fish bones.

But when they found that the fish only had big bones, they immediately put their minds at ease and started eating it.

"Boss, carp is so delicious?"

“Carp is delicious, but this is also thanks to Jack.

Without a good chef, it would be impossible to make such delicious food.”

Peter Parker and Pepper praised one after another.

A big carp weighing ten kilograms was shown off by the three of them.

There is no need to eat it with rice or anything, it is very satisfying and filling.

When collecting the plates, Peter Parker noticed the prices on the menu and exclaimed in disbelief:

"Boss, such a big fish is only sold for one hundred dollars a piece. Are we losing money?"

Considering the size, a large carp that is enough for three adults to eat only costs $100, which is indeed a big loss.

But the problem needs to be addressed from two aspects.

If it is authentic Yellow River carp, it would definitely be expensive to transport it here.

The problem is that this fish is so prevalent in the United States that ordinary people don’t have to spend any money to eat it.

Because the ingredients are so cheap, the price is relatively cheap.

There is another main reason.

These foreigners are resistant to carp, and they sell it cheaply in order to open up the market more easily.

I believe that once everyone tastes the delicious carp in Chinese restaurants, the carp, which is in an overabundance, will soon be devastated and its price will continue to rise.

"Wait, I think I forgot something."

After wiping her mouth, Pepper suddenly preached.

At this time, Li Jie's phone rang. It was Tony Stark calling.

"Jack, is Pepper at your place?"

"Tony, you won?"

Li Jie asked back.

Tony Stark replied: "Yes, I defeated that bastard Killian and found evidence of his crimes in his computer.

Soon the police will have him in jail.

Jack, Jarvis said you took Pepper away, tell me she's with you."

"Hold on."

Li Jie handed the phone to Xiao Lajiao.

Little Pepper then remembered what she had forgotten.
