Yes, great, wow, this rib tastes amazing."
"This sliced meat, oh!! Spicy and numbing, so satisfying."
"Kay, this tomato scrambled egg is so delicious."
Hearing that they could start eating, Jimmy and his family began to use their chopsticks. Thanks to the widespread Chinese restaurants, most Americans have learned to use chopsticks. Even if they don't use them properly, they can still pick up the food. After putting it in their mouths, the deliciousness won't lie. Everyone likes good food.
Watching Jimmy's family eat happily, Wang Kai was also happy. He also picked up his chopsticks and joined the fray. Wang Kai didn't make a lot, because he was saving room for the final rou jia mo, so if he started late, he wouldn't get any.
After the three dishes were finished, Wang Kai brought out the final staple food, rou jia mo. This is a famous snack in China, especially in Shaanxi Province. The pork belly is carefully braised with various seasonings, making it rich but not greasy, with an endless aftertaste. Wang Kai used a popular recipe he had seen online, without any secret ingredients. Even so, the pork belly still looked so mouth-watering.
The baked white buns made in the oven also exceeded Wang Kai's expectations. When the four rou jia mo were served, Jimmy and his family hesitated before taking a bite of the seemingly fatty rou jia mo. The three of them had a dramatic change in expression, almost stuffing the palm-sized rou jia mo into their mouths in two or three bites.
"Kay, is there any more? Bring it up quickly, it's so delicious, I want to eat five more, no, ten!"
Jimmy shouted excitedly, a bottle of beer actually made him a little tipsy.
"Of course, but Jimmy, for the sake of your health, you can only eat one more. Ben, the same goes for you, after all, it's not suitable to eat so much at night."
Wang Kai brought up four more rou jia mo, which made Jimmy quite dissatisfied. Ben and Kelly were already adults and had some self-control, not as hopeless as Jimmy.
"Kay, I never knew you had such good cooking skills."
After they were full, Kelly cleared the dishes, and Ben sat on the sofa with his son and Wang Kai to chat. Ben gave Wang Kai a bottle of beer and said.
"Ben, actually I came today because I have something I want to ask you for help with."
Wang Kai saw that the atmosphere was about right, so he began to get to the point.
"What is it?"
Ben was stunned, then asked.
"Dad, it's like this, Kay and I want to run a fast food business together during this vacation, so we want to modify the van at home."
Jimmy said, helping Wang Kai. Through this meal, Jimmy had been completely conquered by Wang Kai's cooking skills and was full of confidence in Wang Kai's plan.
"So that's it, no problem, need any help?"
Ben agreed to Jimmy directly. Americans still value efficiency. This is not a bad thing, and his son has ideas. Plus, Wang Kai's cooking skills today were really good. This is a good plan, and there is no reason to object. Besides, he wasn't planning on driving that van anymore, so it would be great to put it to good use. All that's needed is to add a stove for cooking in the van and open a window on the side.
"No, we can handle it ourselves, all you need to do is agree."
Jimmy refused outright. Only by doing this kind of thing himself would it be more meaningful. American children are extremely capable, otherwise there wouldn't be an American garage culture.
In the United States, the importance of garages and basements is no less than bedrooms. As long as there are detached houses, they basically have garages and basements. In the garage, Americans can do many things, and even Fortune 500 companies have been born from garages. The famous Disney, Apple, Amazon, HP, Harley-Davidson, including the giant Microsoft, all started from a small garage.
Jimmy also grew up learning to work with his father in the garage. Modifying a car is not too difficult.
Except for some things that require a professional auto repair shop to do, everything else is completely fine.
With the vehicle problem solved, the next step is the modification. Because he will have two rewards after owning the food truck, the food truck must have a steamer. As for the rou jia bing, all that's needed is a braised meat pot and a heating stove.
The next day, Wang Kai and Jimmy drove to a nearby auto repair shop and paid a hundred dollars to have the workers there make some modifications to the van, opening a large window on the side of the van so that setting up a shed would create a business window.
After returning to Jimmy's house, they began to modify the van, building a frame with sheet metal and wooden strips, and then loading the battery, heating stove, and steamer onto it. This greatly compressed the space for people to move around. Fortunately, it was fast food, and there wasn't much activity needed, so a small space would have to do.
After five days, Wang Kai and Jimmy finally got the food truck done. Jimmy also bought spray paint and painted the car body. Don't think that the colorfulness is not good-looking. In a place like the United States that values individuality, the more flashy it is, the more attention it attracts. Jimmy also wanted a name for the food truck, so he called it KING&JIMMY`sfoodtruck, Wang and Jimmy's food truck.
Then there's the matter of getting permits. Although there are no city management officials in the United States, they have police. The police in the United States have a lot of responsibilities. They can be police, traffic police, city management officials, paramedics, etc. They don't care where you set up your stall, they only care if you will block traffic, have health certificates, and have a license. As long as you have these things, then there is no problem. As long as you don't park in front of someone's house or on a major traffic road, they won't care, and they will even come to buy your food.
Wang Kai went to the nearby police station to apply for the permits. The health certificate and other things had already been obtained from the hospital. Now he only needed to apply for a business license.
"Hey, Wang Kai, what are you doing here?"
Arriving at the police station, just as Wang Kai was inquiring about the relevant procedures from a plump black policewoman, a voice suddenly called out to Wang Kai.
"Oh, hey, Gwen, I'm here to get some permits, what are you doing here too?"
Wang Kai turned around and saw a beautiful blonde girl. She had a delicate face, big eyes, full lips, and a figure that could be described as a weapon. Wang Kai's memory immediately popped up the girl's relevant information. Her name was Gwen Stacy, she was a school beauty, and she had an ambiguous relationship with the basketball team's top player, Flash. The predecessor of this body secretly had a crush on her, but unfortunately, a school beauty like her would not care about a small loser like you. The predecessor of the body did not have the courage to confess, and could only watch secretly.
