Food saves the world.
Although they didn't know why Issou repeated their names,
Wanda and her brother still nodded. "Yes."
Seeing this, Issou glanced at them.
Wanda on the left was a beautiful brown-haired girl. Her conflicting temperament of being half immature and half mature made her look particularly attractive.
Pietro on the right had a head of grey hair that stood out from the crowd.
He exuded the liveliness and vigor of a young man. He looked like a handsome and cute big boy.
Issou asked, "Are you both applying for the job?"
"Yes." Wanda nodded.
She and Pietro were a pair of mutated twins.
Ever since the death of their adoptive parents,
After their identity as mutated humans was exposed, they wandered all the way to New York.
While wandering, Wanda and Pietro were once recruited by the Mutated Brotherhood led by Magneto.
However, after much hesitation, they still rejected them.
However, it was fortunate that he had rejected them. Otherwise, why would they come here?
And be attracted to "My Chinese Restaurant" by the smell of food?
She said, "We saw your recruitment on the Internet, so we decided to come and try. We're not too late, right?"
When Wanda said this,
She was so guilty that she didn't dare to look at Issou.
Because they didn't see the news on the Internet at all. Pietro saw it on the recruitment materials compiled by Clarice when he ran into Issou's kitchen to steal a bite.
Although as long as they didn't say anything, Issou wouldn't know about it.
But even so,
Pietro and the others still couldn't hide the trace of guilt when they saw her.
Because in her clear black and white eyes,
It was so clean that it seemed to make all the deceptions impossible to hide.
Issou didn't know what Wanda and the others were thinking. He didn't doubt their words and nodded. "You're not too late. Our Chinese Restaurant is still short of two waiters."
Issou wasn't dissatisfied with the twins Wanda and Pietro. Other than knowing that they were superheroes, it was also because the siblings' eyes were clean and childish. They didn't look like bad people.
However, considering what the two waiters had done before, Issou said, "Let me make it clear in advance. If I recruit you, I won't force you to work here for the rest of your lives. You can resign, but you must give a month's notice."
Wanda's eyes lit up. "Do you mean you want to recruit us?"
Issou smiled. "If you agree, then I can remove the 'if' I just said.
"We agree." This time, Pietro's reaction was as fast as Wanda's. The siblings didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Both of them couldn't help but laugh.
#
Because they didn't expect the siblings to be recruited by Issou so easily and smoothly, Wanda and Pietro felt excited. At the same time, they felt that they had to work hard to live up to Issou's trust in them.
However, Pietro, who worked too hard, almost exposed his identity as a mutant.
Issou, who already knew that they were all mutants: "…"
For Quicksilver, who has supersonic speed, as long as he wanted to, not to mention if Issou accidentally knocked something over in front of him, even if it was a longer distance, he could catch it before it fell to the ground.
But he forgot that he was just an ordinary person in front of Issou, Pietro Maksimov, not the mutant Quicksilver. So when he was five meters away from Issou, but he successfully caught the bowl and chopsticks that were about to fall to the ground. His expression froze a little.
Uh.
Wait a minute.
Am I going to expose my identity as a mutant on the first day of work?
With this in mind, Pietro's brain quickly turned, trying to think of a way to fool Issou.
Issou: "…"
Then hurry up and think of something.
Originally, Issou wanted to smooth things over, but after noticing Pietro's expression, he swallowed back the words he wanted to say and planned to wait for him to finish.
Really, if Issou knew how Pietro was going to smooth things over, he would definitely strike first.
However, there were no ifs.
Pietro racked his brain and finally thought of an excuse that could fool Issou: "Haha, fortunately, I am next to you, otherwise these bowls and chopsticks would have fallen."
Issou: "…"
Bro.
Do you think I'm a fool?
Hearing Pietro's words, Issou's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Could it be that in his eyes, she was actually blind?
However, when he saw that Pietro was looking at him nervously, Issou could only silently assume the role of a fool: "Haha, that's right, it's all thanks to you."
Seeing that Issou was so easily fooled, Pietro breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt that it was rare to see such a naive and gullible girl.
Seeing that the naive and gullible Pietro had his thoughts written all over his face, the fake fool Issou: "…"
So tired.
What made Issou even more tired was that after the incident, Pietro also mentioned this to Wanda, and there were three meanings in his words:
How fast he reacted on the spot.
What a great reason to boast about herself.
And how gullible her boss was.
Of course, this was not the main point. The main point was —
Wanda was done for! All! Of! Of! Of!
Issou, who tried to pretend that he didn't know that they were all mutants: "…"
Very well.
It seemed that in the short term, she was going to be the fool herself in the eyes of the twins.
#
The fool herself (Issou: … Go away! Go away!) At this moment, she was preparing their dinner in the kitchen. She poured the pork rib sauce on the pot of rice. The sizzling sound was heard, and a tempting aroma rolled up. Wang Da and the others, who were crowded at the door, were so hungry that their stomachs started to growl.
They asked, "Issou, when can we eat?"
Hearing this, Issou glanced at the time. The rice pot still needed to be simmered for a few minutes after the fire was turned off, and now was just the right time. "Okay, we can eat now."
Hearing Issou's words, Pietro and the others immediately cheered. They all went forward to grab their own casseroles and eagerly sat down at the table.
As soon as the casserole lid was removed, the overflowing aroma was irresistible. Wanda leaned forward and took a whiff, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It smells so good!"
Although this was not the first time Clarice had eaten Issou's cooking, she felt that she was always amazed by her culinary skills. She looked at the delicious rice pot and couldn't help but say, "Issou, you Chinese people really know how to eat."
"It's China on the tip of the tongue." Issou smiled. He knew that although Clarice looked a little Asian, she was indeed an authentic American. "Just this casserole alone, we can make it so that you can eat it for a month without having to repeat it."
As she said that, she casually listed out a series of casseroles, such as preserved flavor casserole, mushroom chicken casserole, beef casserole with oyster sauce, pepper diced chicken casserole, and so on. "If you want to eat it in the future, I'll make it for you."
As the boss, Issou would never mistreat her employees in this regard.
Hearing this, Clarice and the others couldn't help but cheer, especially Wanda and Pietro. They thought that the staff's meals were already delicious, but they didn't expect there to be so many different kinds of delicious dishes.
When Wanda and Pietro took their first bite of the casserole, they were really glad that they weren't tricked into joining the Mutant Brotherhood by Magneto. Otherwise, how could they have the opportunity to be waitresses in Issou's Chinese restaurant? And they could eat such delicious casserole rice?
When they took a bite of the tender and chewy ribs, the fragrance of the stir-fried pork and the black bean sauce instantly filled their mouths. The fragrance of the rice soaked in the sauce and oil formed a unique rice aroma. When they chewed, the texture was just right, and the fragrance lingered in their teeth.
The most amazing thing was the layer of golden rice crust at the bottom of the casserole. It was fragrant and crispy, and it left a lasting aftertaste in their mouths.
Wanda and Pietro were completely conquered by this pot of black bean pork and ribs. The siblings wanted to bury their faces in it. When the hot and fragrant casserole rice entered their stomachs, everyone felt warm all over.
On such a cold winter night, to be able to eat such a delicious pot of Black Bean Pork Ribs Steamed Rice made one's heart and stomach warm to the extreme.
Issou glanced at Wanda and Pietro. The siblings were obviously still in a daze from the world of food. She couldn't help but ask Clarice with a smile, "Do you think they heard what I said just now?"
When she heard Issou's question, Clarice shook her head and said with certainty, "Definitely not."
When she saw Issou looking at her curiously, she shrugged helplessly. "I can't help it. After I ate your cooking for the first time, I was also fully focused on enjoying the food."
It was so delicious that I couldn't be distracted, okay?
In fact, Clarice was right. When the door was closed, Wanda and Pietro heard Issou and Clarice talking about tomorrow's holiday. They were dumbfounded. "Tomorrow's holiday?!"
"Yeah, didn't I tell you when we were eating?" Issou looked at them with a smile. "You just started work and you're already on holiday. Aren't you surprised?"
Although making money was important, Issou didn't plan on working seven days a week. There was always time to rest. Therefore, one of the benefits of "My Chinese Restaurant" was that there was a holiday every week.
Wanda and Pietro were speechless.
Not surprised at all!
Because a holiday meant no staff meals!
Just thinking about it made them feel like they were struck by lightning!
Wanda and Pietro looked like they had nothing to live for. "Why is there a holiday in this world?!"
Hearing this, Thompson, who couldn't figure out why Issou was biased towards the bookworm Peter, couldn't help but say, "Be careful, if your boss finds out, he'll deduct your salary."
"I forgot to mention …" Issou smiled at Thompson. "I'm the boss."
Thompson was speechless.
There was nothing he could say.
Thompson, who couldn't do anything about Issou, could only glare viciously at Peter. When Peter found out that the reason why their Braised Prawns were extra large was not because Issou recognized him, but because Issou thought that his face was very likable, Peter was relieved and a little embarrassed.
After Issou left, Peter turned his head and was about to say something to Ned when he saw that half of the Braised Prawns on the table was already in his stomach.
"Hey! Ned! "Peter glared at him." You're too unloyal. "
He reached out and wrapped his arms around his friend's neck and whispered, "Aren't you worried that I'll be exposed?"
"You're not exposed, are you?" Ned looked at Peter and whispered, "Besides, exchanging your identity for an extra large Braised Prawns is a good deal."
Peter, "…???"
Are you serious?
Just as he was about to say something, Ned stuffed a large prawn into his mouth. He took a bite out of reflex, and a wave of freshness was released in his mouth along with a hint of sweetness. The smooth and oily taste made Peter forget what he was about to say. His mind was filled with the fresh and tender taste of the prawn.
#
It was true that the owner of "My Chinese Restaurant" was willful, but it was also true that the food she made was very tempting. Thompson wanted to slam the table and leave, but …
The Braised Prawns on the table were like a seductress, exuding its own fragrance to seduce people. Although he didn't want to admit it, Thompson felt that he was completely hooked by this seductress.
So …
What was integrity?
It didn't exist!
After tasting the deliciousness of the Braised Prawns, Peter, who was sitting at the neighboring table, temporarily forgot about the joy he felt from Izzo's words and Ned's disloyalty. Now, there was only one thought left in his mind.
Eat, eat, eat!
Don't stop!
When the chestnut chicken was served on the table, Peter and Ned were attracted by its attractive appearance. The two of them looked at each other and then began to eat.
Peter first put a piece of chicken into his mouth. When he took a bite, his teeth were scalded by the temperature of the chicken, but he didn't spit it out subconsciously. This was because after he took a bite, in addition to being scalded, the broth and other seasonings absorbed by the chicken suddenly spread in his mouth.
What surprised Peter was that when he chewed, he also tasted a hint of alcohol. Although he hadn't reached the legal age to drink yet, this didn't mean that he hadn't tasted alcohol before.
After all, he knew Tony Stark.
Tony, "…???"
Therefore, Peter believed that his taste was not wrong. This trace of alcohol was not strong, but together with the chicken, it was delicious enough to intoxicate people.
There was also the fragrant and sweet chestnut. When the golden chestnut was bitten open, the juice absorbed was thick and mellow. It was simply irresistible.
…
After the meal, the delicious Chinese food made Peter extremely satisfied. He leaned back slightly and casually glanced around. He could see that all the customers in the Chinese restaurant had the same expression on their faces as he did.
They were all satisfied and happy. At this moment, it was as if everyone's troubles and worries had all left them, leaving only happiness in the warm room.
"It's amazing." Ned also ate to his heart's content. He rubbed his round belly and said to Peter, "Boss, the chef's culinary skills are directly proportional to his looks."
Peter naturally agreed with Ned's words. He thought that Issou's culinary skills were not only proportional to his looks, but also his character and vision (ahem).
With this thought in mind, Peter could not help but look for Issou. At this moment, he was not in the kitchen. Instead, he was at the cashier checking out customers. The smile on his face was so bright that it seemed to sweep away the haze in one's heart.
Since young, Peter seemed to be more popular with his elders than his peers. After all, a shy and studious child was a good child in the eyes of adults, but in the eyes of his peers, he was a bookworm.
Most of the boys his age mocked him as the insignificant Peter, and most of the girls his age were attracted by the boys who mocked him. Therefore, over time, Peter really became the insignificant Peter in the eyes of his peers.
Under such circumstances, it was no wonder that Thompson found it hard to believe. Even Peter himself was a little surprised. But no matter what, it was a happy thing to be liked by someone, not to mention that Issou had actually shown this affection.
So when it was time to settle the bill, Peter specially thanked Issou, "Well, thank you very much for your generosity just now, boss."
Issou smiled and said, "Just call me Issou."
Hearing this, Peter said, "Okay, Issou. My name is Peter Parker. You can call me Parker."
"And me," Ned waved at Issou, "My name is Ned, Ned Leeds."
"Peter, Ned." Issou greeted them with a smile, then smiled and said, "Peter, I think you should thank me for being the boss. Secondly, you should thank me for being so likable."
With that, he shrugged, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to be so generous to you."
"No matter what, thank you very much." As soon as Peter finished speaking, Ned laughed and said, "Peter is right. We should really thank you, Issou. After all, this is the first time Peter has relied on his looks to make a living. It's very memorable."
"Is that so?" When Issou heard this, he saw the tips of Peter's ears turning red. He smiled and said, "Since it's so memorable, I'll give you a 30% discount."
"No, no, no, no …" Hearing Issou's words, Peter quickly shook his head and waved his hand to refuse. He said, "Ned didn't mean that. Just give me the normal price, don't be like this."
Although Peter was not a rich second-generation heir, he knew that such an authentic and delicious Chinese meal would definitely cost more than this if they ate it elsewhere. Not to mention, Issou had specially upgraded the dishes for them just now.
Therefore, Peter felt that they should not take advantage of Issou anymore.
"It's okay. You're not the only ones I give discounts anyway." Issou said this because firstly, he was telling the truth. Secondly, he did not want Peter and the others to feel burdened. After all, among so many superheroes, the Spider-man who had to mend his own uniform was indeed … Well.
In addition, Peter had saved him before, so Issou felt that it was reasonable for him to give him a 30% discount.
As he spoke, he looked up and saw that Peter and Ned still looked embarrassed. He smiled and said, "If you really feel embarrassed, then you can come visit more often."
"No problem." Peter scratched his head. "Issou, the Chinese food you make is amazing. If I have time, I'll bring Mei along."
At this point, he added, "Oh, Mei is my aunt."
"Me too." Ned quickly added, "In our Chinese restaurant, there's no chef who can cook as authentic and delicious as you, so I'll come here often."
Ned's words were not to flatter Issou, but simply to tell the truth. After all, New York now served more American Chinese food than authentic Chinese food.
"You're welcome." After Issou gave Peter and the others their change, he smiled and said, "I'll cook for you next time."
When Peter first saw Issou, he knew that she was very beautiful and charming when she smiled. However, when she smiled at him again, he could not help but blush. He quickly said goodbye to Issou and left with Ned.

After the lunch market ended, Clarice was about to hang up the "Break" sign when someone pushed the door open and came in.
Seeing this, Clarice quickly said, "Sorry, our lunch market is over, now we're not …"
Before she could finish, the person who pushed the door open and came in explained, "No, we're not here to eat, we're here to apply for a job. I heard that you're hiring here, right?"
Hearing this, Clarice's eyes lit up, "You're here to apply for a job? Then sit down first, I'll go find the boss. "
Knowing that someone had come to apply for the job, in addition to Clarice, Issou was also happy. After all, they were really short of manpower. However, Issou did not expect that the two people who came to apply for the job were the twins, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
