Issou originally thought that..,
Hannibal had been on a business trip for so many days, no matter what..,
He had just returned, so he definitely had to rest for a day or two before going to work.
But she didn't expect him to be ready for work as usual the next day after waking up.
"Good morning,
Issou. "
Seeing Issou's slightly widened eyes, Hannibal smiled and said,
"Why do you look like you saw me suddenly appear in 'my Chinese restaurant' yesterday?"
"That's because I thought you didn't have to work today."
Hearing Hannibal's words..,
Issou did not even have time to say good morning to him,
As she closed the door, she looked at her neighbor curiously and asked,
"So, Hannibal, don't you need to rest?"
Issou knew that Hannibal's business trip this time was initially to give a speech, but later on, for some reason..,
It became him helping the local police solve a case.
Although the case was not clear, and the participants needed to keep it a secret, so Issou did not know much. However, he also knew that solving a case was not an easy task.
Because when she video-chatted with Hannibal later..,
She could always see that his background was a thick layer of documents,
There was also a dense pile of documents.
In addition, Issou could also see the dark circles under Hannibal's eyes that gradually deepened. One had to know that his skin was a little pale,
As a result, the dark circles under his eyes were even more obvious.
Hearing Issou's words..,
Hannibal smiled at Issou and said, "Do you think I don't look like I have a good rest now?"
"Eh?"
Hearing this..,
Issou only noticed that Hannibal looked refreshed, but the dark circles under his eyes that were there last night were completely gone now.
The black-haired girl couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Where are your dark circles?"
Seeing how Issou leaned forward curiously, Hannibal was about to say something when the black-haired girl couldn't help but stretch out a finger and land directly on the skin under his eye.
In an instant, Hannibal only felt that his skin, which was originally a little cold because of the temperature outside, suddenly became warm. It was warm, and there was an inexplicable sense of nostalgia.
Before Hannibal had time to speak, he felt Issou's hand under his eye …
He rubbed it.
Hannibal: "…???"
Seeing that there was no change, Yi Su suddenly realized and said, "Oh, the dark circles under your eyes have really disappeared?"
"What else?"
Seeing the expression on Issou's face, Hannibal didn't know whether to laugh or cry. he said, he said, "Issou, did you think I put makeup?"
"Mhmm."
Looking into Hannibal's blue eyes, Issou inexplicably felt that if she told him the truth, she might not be able to get away with it, so she gave him an innocent smile, withdrew her hand, and deliberately changed the topic. "I forgot to say good morning to you just now."
Seeing Issou like this, how could Hannibal not know what the answer was? He immediately smiled helplessly at her, but he still went along with her words, "Then you can make it up now."
Hearing this, Issou's smile deepened, "Good morning, Hannibal."
"Mhmm."
Seeing the smile on Issou's lips, Hannibal only felt like he had a cup of honey early in the morning, and his whole body was filled with sweetness from the inside out.
"Let's go, I'll take you to 'my Chinese restaurant'."
#
When they arrived at 'my Chinese restaurant', it was still early for Hannibal to go to work, so when they got out of the car, Issou glanced at her driver for today, "Do you want to have breakfast before going to work?"
Hearing this, Hannibal, with one hand on the steering wheel, turned his head slightly to look at Issou. The slight curvature of his lips made the scar on his cheek look like a small dimple. It was a simple action, but when it came to him, it somehow made him look extremely charming.
He smiled and asked, "Are you using breakfast to pay for the fare?"
Hearing Hannibal's words, Issou couldn't help but laugh. She first acknowledged his words, then added, "But the quality of the breakfast is completely related to your delivery service."
Hearing Issou's words, the smart Hannibal completely understood. After unfastening his seat belt and getting out of the car, he opened the door for Issou and extended his hand to her. Then he looked at her with a smile and asked, "Maybe you need me to carry you out of the car?"
"No, no, no."
When Issou heard Hannibal's words, she immediately admitted defeat. After holding his hand and getting out of the car, she put her hands together and said to him, "I can't afford to offend you."
The black-haired girl felt that every time she tried to flirt with (… …) Hannibal, she would end up in a bad situation. This guy's ability to reverse the situation was amazing.
For example, the last time he wanted to carry her back, this time he simply carried her in a princess carry.
Issou, "…"
Society, society.
Seeing Issou doing the action in the emoji pack she sent him, Hannibal was almost amused by her. After closing the car door, he walked with her to 'my Chinese restaurant'.
Although the black-haired girl started work earlier than Hannibal, compared to the twins and Clarice who were also working in 'my Chinese restaurant', she was a little later.
Therefore, when Issou and Hannibal pushed open the door and entered, they saw the scene of their own employees busily working.
Clarice and the others greeted Issou as usual, but they were a little surprised to see Hannibal coming in with her.
After all, although Hannibal was Issou's neighbor and a customer of 'my Chinese restaurant', except for the last time when Issou was targeted by the serial killer, he usually only came here in the evening.
Therefore, when they saw Hannibal and Issou coming in together, Pietro and the others were naturally surprised.
However, although they were surprised, they still greeted Hannibal. For these three mutants, working in 'my Chinese restaurant' not only allowed them to have stable jobs and enviable staff meals, but it also allowed them to expand their social circle.
After all, whether it was the twins or Clarice, they had to hide their identities, so their social circle was basically destined to be unable to expand.
It wasn't until they came to "My Chinese Restaurant" that everything changed.
"We've already counted the ingredients they sent over today."
Wanda said to Issou. The reason why they came to 'my Chinese restaurant' earlier than the black-haired girl was because the fresh ingredients sent to the restaurant every day needed someone to sign and count. Considering Issou's workload, this task was taken over by the twins and Clarice.
Although Issou's house was the closest to 'my Chinese restaurant', whether it was Pietro or Clarice, they could come to 'my Chinese restaurant' from their rented house in the blink of an eye.
Hearing Wanda's words, Issou nodded and asked Hannibal to take a seat first. She took off her coat, put down her bag, and walked into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the choppers Issou hired were preparing some of the fresh ingredients that were just sent in this morning. Issou picked up her chef's robe and put it on, then asked one of the choppers, "Mary, have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare?"
Hearing Issou's words, the chopper named Mary responded, "Of course, I prepared them as soon as I got here today."
Hearing this, Issou nodded. After Mary brought out the ingredients that he asked her to prepare, he began to prepare breakfast.
When Issou decided to make dried pot rice yesterday, she suddenly wanted to eat Cantonese breakfast. However, she did not have the ingredients yesterday, so she had to postpone it until today.
Thinking about the dazzling array of Cantonese morning tea, Issou felt very motivated. She rolled the dough that had been fermented in advance into small dough balls, rolled them out, and put in the stirred stuffing. She then folded and kneaded the stuffing at the opening, then put it into a steamer that was lined with oil paper. After all the Barbecued Pork Buns were wrapped together, she covered the lid and began to steam.
Then came the shrimp dumplings, steamed shumai, egg tarts, steamed pork ribs in black bean sauce, steamed chicken feet, water chestnut cakes, rice noodle rolls, and so on.
If Issou was alone, she would not be able to handle it. However, with the help of the choppers, it did not take much effort to make a Cantonese morning tea.
When the breakfast trays were served, be it Hannibal or the twins, all of them felt their stomachs rumbling as if they had just woken up and regained their appetite.
"I'm suddenly regretting it."
Pietro could not help but ask, "Why wasn't I born a Chinese?"
Oh my god.
Chinese people were amazing.
Not to mention the main course, the richness and deliciousness of China's food was enough to teach anyone how to be a good human.
However, Pietro never expected that Chinese people would be able to eat such a simple breakfast.
Breakfast in Western countries consisted of bacon, sausages, toast, pancakes, fried eggs, coffee, milk, juice, and so on. However, breakfast in China?
They were completely beating up other countries in fancy ways.
Wanda and Clarice were deeply touched by Pietro's exclamation. Since the first day they ate Issou's Chinese food, they had been seriously considering this issue.
"Is this something you can decide?"
Issou was almost amused by Pietro's words. She said, "The decision is clearly in the hands of your parents."
And the black-haired girl felt that Pietro's words were not right. What did he mean by regretting that he was not born a Chinese? Shouldn't he be regretting that he was not born in China?
Speaking of this, Issou suddenly felt a little lucky.
Although she did not know what happened between her mother and father.
She still had to thank her for allowing her to live in her hometown.
Great China.
This was because Izu knew that her own father, Voldemort, was an Englishman, and the food in England … well, she couldn't help but feel lucky.
Coubé, who was not actually Chinese, "…???"
Hearing Issou's words, Pietro suddenly realized and said, "I think so."
Wanda, who was one of the twins, "…"
Sorry.
My brother is as stupid as you.
"Issou, do you usually eat breakfast like this?"
Hannibal looked at the delicious food placed in front of him and only felt that something was stirring in his heart.
He felt that if the food in "my Chinese restaurant" was really this good, how could he endure his job that everyone envied?
"How is that possible?"
Issou shook her head and said, "You just happened to be here today."
With that said, the black-haired girl sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and said, "Don't just stand there, aren't you going to eat?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone who was still very reserved immediately started eating. Issou saw this and could not help but laugh. Then, she picked up a shrimp dumpling.
As the number one breakfast dish in Guangdong, shrimp dumplings were worthy of its ranking in terms of appearance and taste.
The shrimp dumpling was shaped like a half-moon, exquisite and exquisite like a work of art. Just this appearance alone was enough to make people's eyes light up.
The crystal white shrimp dumpling dough had a softness that seemed like it would break with a poke. When one picked it up, through the paper-white and thin dough, one could vaguely see the tempting fillings inside.
When Issou took a bite, the fragrance of the shrimp dumpling assailed his nostrils. The seemingly fragile shrimp dumpling dough was not only refreshing but also surprisingly pliable. The texture could be described as elastic but not sticky.
If the texture of the shrimp dumpling dough was surprising, then the taste of the shrimp dumpling filling was amazing.
After biting through the shrimp dumpling dough, Issou's teeth came into contact with the fillings inside —
Fresh and delicious prawns, tender and plump bamboo shoots, and streaky pork that had a balance of fat and lean. When these ingredients were combined together and chewed, a fresh and sweet taste was instantly released in the mouth, which was simply irresistible.
Like Issou, Hannibal and the others at the same table were also deeply attracted by this dazzling breakfast. Let's not talk about the delicious shrimp dumplings in detail. Among them, there was also the second brother of the Guangdong breakfast dish — —
Dry Steamed Shumai.
Like the shrimp dumplings, the Dry Steamed Shumai was also very beautiful. The meat was half-exposed, and the skin was wrapped in clouds, making each Dry Steamed Shumai as beautiful as a fresh flower in full bloom.
When the brightly colored Dry Steamed Shumai was picked up, the tip of one's nose would smell a fresh fragrance before it even entered one's mouth. It was so tempting that one could not wait to put it into one's mouth.
Like the shrimp dumplings, the Dry Steamed Shumai also contained whole shrimps and pork that were both fat and lean. The difference was that it had an additional — —
Egg.
When the fresh and not fishy shrimps met with the fragrant pork, because of the soft and tender egg, the three flavors perfectly blended together. When chewing in the mouth, the mouth was full of a refreshing taste that was not greasy but not oily.
There was also the egg tart that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When eating it, the mouth was full of the sweet taste of egg milk.
Without tearing the Roast Pork Bun open, one could see the bright red and translucent Roast Pork inside. After taking a big bite, one's teeth were immediately filled with oil juice. When chewing in the mouth, the tender Roast Pork Bun still had a trace of sweetness. It could be said that there was juice in the bun and fragrance in the meat.
In addition to the four kings of Guangdong breakfast, there was also the soft but not mushy Steamed Chicken Feet, the delicious Steamed Pork Ribs with Black Bean Sauce, the translucent Sweet Water Chestnut Cake that melted in the mouth, and the paper-thin, smooth and delicious Rice Roll Powder.
Of course, how could the people who enjoy Guangdong breakfast not have a cup of tea?
The rich orange-yellow Pu 'er tea fragrance was strong and long-lasting. When drinking it, one would feel that one's mouth was instantly filled with the unique fragrance of Pu' er tea.
After the heat dissipated, the tip of his tongue tasted the rich and mellow taste of the tea. He let it roll on the tip of his tongue twice before swallowing it into his mouth. It made him feel as if even his words carried the lingering tea fragrance of Pu 'er.
…
"Issou, have you considered opening a morning market?"
Hannibal held the teacup in his hand and said to Issou in a particularly sincere manner, "After eating the breakfast you made, I feel that my previous breakfast was too tasteless."
"It's too troublesome."
When Issou heard Hannibal's words, he shook his head and said, "If I were to open a morning market, it would definitely not be as simple as making a few steamers. Also, winter is too cold."
In the end, the black-haired girl wrinkled her nose and said, "So I definitely won't consider it now."
Currently, Issou only opened a noon market and a night market. If he were to open a morning market as well, he would definitely be busy.
When he heard Issou's last sentence, Hannibal's eyes lit up, and he said, "So you mean you'll consider it when the weather warms up?"
If Issou did not intend to open a morning market, then no matter how much Hannibal wanted to taste Guangdong morning tea, he would not trouble him. However, if he wanted to open a morning market, then it was a different story.
He did not want to trouble Issou, and visiting Issou was completely different.
"I'll consider it."
After Issou answered Hannibal, he thought to himself that he could try to change the model. Instead of opening a noon market and a night market, he could open a morning market and a night market. After all, in addition to the amazing Guangdong morning tea, the food at the food stalls was also irresistible.

After sending off Hannibal, who was about to go to work, Issou did not have time to turn around when he saw a man suddenly appear on the opposite side of the street.
Winter Soldiers.
Compared to Hannibal, Issou had not seen Winter Soldiers for a long time. The last time she saw him was when he suddenly appeared at her house.
The expression on her face right now was even more surprised and surprised than when she saw Hannibal suddenly appear in "my Chinese restaurant" yesterday.
She immediately came back to her senses.
"Ba ba ba ba … Winter Soldiers?"
Issou did not expect that Winter Soldiers would rather use his hands than his mouth. After she came back to her senses, she stuttered a little. She originally wanted to call him Baki, but considering how Steve called him that last time, he responded with —
Who the f * ck is Baki!?
So the black-haired girl changed her words before she could finish calling him that.
"Oh."
Hearing Issou call him, Winter Soldiers responded. He looked past the black-haired girl and through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, he saw Clarice and the others cleaning up … They were holding steamers and plates in their hands. Then he looked at the girl in front of him and winked at her.
His originally cold and indifferent green eyes were inexplicably filled with emotions, causing his eyes to look less distant and more watery, which made one's heart soften.
Issou: "…"
She remembered that the last time Winter Soldiers looked at her like this, it seemed like he was asking for food.
Yeah.
So this time was no exception.
"You didn't eat breakfast?"
Issou asked. Then she saw Winter Soldiers nodding silently, and then continued to stare at her with his watery green eyes.
"Come in."
Issou swore that as soon as she finished speaking, Winter Soldiers' eyes lit up.
Pietro and the others still remembered Winter Soldiers. After all, he saved them once, and with his outfit, he was simply unforgettable.
But …
What did he come here for?
Wanda and the others looked at Issou and Winter Soldiers curiously. Although Winter Soldiers looked dangerous, considering what happened before, and Issou's attitude towards him, Pietro and the others did not have much to be wary of.
On the other hand, after Issou asked Winter Soldiers to sit down at a table, she asked: "You're here for breakfast, did you bring money?"
Hearing Issou's words, Winter Soldiers' expression was obviously confused. Because he had already taken off his mask, the black-haired girl could see it clearly.
Seeing the confused expression on Winter Soldiers' round face, Issou was almost infatuated with him, especially when he looked at her with his eyes that were more beautiful than emeralds, as if to say —
What is money?
Why do I bring it for breakfast?
His innocent and bewildered look almost made Izu's heart soften and say —
Money is nothing.
You don't have to bring it for breakfast, just bring your cuteness.
But the black-haired girl's rationality pulled her back in time. She cleared her throat and deliberately looked away from his green eyes that always softened her heart. She said: "You have to pay to eat, if you don't have money, you can find …"
Someone to help pay.
For example, someone like Steve.
She could easily call Steve for him.
But before Issou could finish her sentence, she heard Winter Soldiers ask her: "… Find something to replace it?"
Issou: "…???"
The black-haired girl, who did not expect Winter Soldiers to respond like this, was stunned for a moment. The next second, a metallic iron arm appeared in front of her. She looked up slightly and met Winter Soldiers' grey-green eyes. He asked: "Is this okay?"
Issou: "…!!???"
