Food saved the world.
Although they didn't know why Issou repeated their names,
Wanda and her brother nodded. "Yes."
Seeing this, Issou glanced at them.
Wanda, on the left, was a beautiful brown-haired girl.
Her conflicting temperament, which was half immature and half mature, made her look particularly attractive.
Pietro, on the right, had a head of gray hair.
He exuded the liveliness and vitality of a teenager.
He looked like a handsome and cute big boy.
Issou asked, "Are both of you applying?"
"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 they were wandering,
Wanda and Pietro were once recruited by the Mutated Brotherhood led by Magneto.
However, after much hesitation, they rejected.
Fortunately, they rejected them.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have come here.
And they were attracted to "My Chinese Restaurant" by a fragrant smell.
She said, "We saw your job posting on the Internet.
So we decided to come and give it a try.
We're not late, are we? "
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.
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 couldn't hide their guilty conscience when they saw her.
Because in her clear black and white eyes,
It was so clean that it seemed as if all the deceit had become 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 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 eyes of the siblings were very clean and childish. They didn't look like bad people.
But considering what the two waiters had done before, Issou said, "Let me make it clear that 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?"
Yi Su smiled and said, "If you agree, then the 'if' I just said can be removed."
"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.
It was just that 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 wants to, not to mention Izu accidentally knocking something over in front of him, even if it's farther away, he has a way to catch it before it falls 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, 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 worked quickly, 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 take the initiative.
However, there were no ifs.
Pietro racked his brain and finally came up with an excuse that could fool Issou: "Haha, fortunately, I'm right next to you, otherwise these bowls and chopsticks would have fallen."
Issou: "…"
Bro.
Do you think I'm a fool?
Hearing Pietro's words, the corners of 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 his best 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 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 ribs sauce over the rice in the pot. The sizzling sound was heard, and a tempting aroma rolled up. Wang Da and the others, who had crowded at the door, were so hungry that their stomachs were growling.
They asked, "Issou, when can we eat?"
Hearing this, Issou glanced at the time. After the fire was turned off, the rice pot still needed to be simmered for a few minutes. Now was just the right time. "Okay, we can eat now."
When they heard Issou's words, Pietro and the others immediately cheered. They all stepped forward to pick up their own casserole and eagerly sat down at the table.
As soon as the lid of the casserole was removed, the overflowing aroma was irresistible. Wanda leaned forward and took a whiff. She 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 like an Asian, she was indeed an authentic American. "Just this pot of rice alone, we can make it so that you can eat it for a month without repeating it."
As she said that, she casually listed out a series of pot of rice, such as preserved flavor pot rice, mushroom chicken pot rice, oyster sauce beef pot rice, pepper chicken pot rice, and so on. "If you want to eat it in the future, I'll make it for you."
As the boss, Issou would not mistreat his employees in this regard.
Hearing this, Clarice and the others couldn't help but cheer, especially Wanda and Pietro. They thought that it was already very good that the staff's meals were delicious, but they didn't expect that there would be so many different kinds of delicious dishes.
When Wanda and Pietro both ate their first mouthful of pot of rice, they were really glad that they were not tricked into joining the Mutants Brotherhood by Magneto. Otherwise, how could they have the opportunity to be waitresses in Issou's Chinese restaurant? And they would be able to eat such delicious pot of rice?
When they took a bite of the tender and chewy pork ribs, the fragrance of the stir-fried pork and the black bean sauce that they had absorbed 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 mouths.
The most amazing thing was the layer of golden rice crust at the bottom of the pot. When they ate it, it was fragrant and crispy, and it left a lasting aftertaste.
Wanda and Pietro were completely conquered by this pot of black bean and pork ribs. The siblings wanted to bury their faces in it. When the hot and fragrant pot of 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 Rib Stew Rice was simply heartwarming to the extreme.
Issou glanced at Wanda and Pietro. The siblings were obviously still in a daze from the world of food. She could not 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 did not plan to work 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: "…"
Not at all!
Because a holiday meant no staff meals!
It was like a bolt from the blue!
Wanda and Pietro looked like they had nothing to live for. "Why is there such a thing as a holiday in this world?!"
"I still remember." Charles nodded at Jean. "Is there a problem? Jean, did you run into her these few days? "
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered the subway station where he and Issou first met. "Oh right, she seems to live near your house."
"Yeah." Jean nodded. She was not the kind of person who liked to open up to others, but she did not know if it was because she had never felt so comfortable in the past few days, so she was willing to take the initiative to talk to Charles about the changes she had experienced in the past few days.
"I don't know if it's my own imagination, but every time I eat Issou's food, I feel less upset and more relaxed."
Hearing this, Charles looked at Jean and thought of what she just said. He asked, "So you think it's not your imagination, but you suspect that Issou is a mutant?"
"I don't know." Jean shook her head and said, "I just think … If once is a coincidence, then what about every time? If it's not my imagination, then does Issou's food really have such an effect? "
"As for whether Issou is a mutant, I've already confirmed that he isn't."
Charles carefully considered Jean's words. Seeing that she was about to open her mouth to refute, he motioned for her to calm down. He said, "Of course, there are not so many absolutes in this world, and I can't guarantee that my confirmation is completely correct. Perhaps there are other problems that caused my confirmation to be wrong."
Jean nodded, and then she heard Charles ask her, "So you want me to confirm Issou's identity again?"
"No." Jean heard this and shook her head at Charles. "Professor, didn't you confirm that Issou is not a mutant last time? I'm wondering if we can try another method. "
Charles looked at Jean and heard her say, "Maybe you can give me a few more days off. I think I'll be able to determine as soon as possible whether it's my imagination or whether Issou's food is really useful to me."
Charles: "…"
This reason for asking for leave could be said to be very fresh and refined.
"I think we should make bold assumptions and carefully verify them …" When she heard Charles's words, Jean's eyes lit up. However, the next second, she heard him continue, "So I'll see Issou again."
Jean: "…???"
Wait a minute.
This was not going according to the script she set.
Meeting Jean's gaze, Charles smiled at her, "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Jean: "…"
She felt that something was wrong.

Charles Xavier was not the only one who wanted to get close to Issou under the guise of careful verification.
In the conference room of the Avengers Mansion, Tony sent all the physical examination reports of Dr. Banner over the past few days to the Avengers.
Falcon Sam Wilson casually flipped through the information, and then simply asked, "What are the results of the examination? How did Hulk change back? "
Compared to Sam's eagerness, Steve's attitude was much more serious and patient. However, the various professional terms and a large number of comparative data in the information made Steve dumbfounded after reading it, so he simply put down the information and looked up at Tony.
And Tony didn't mean to keep them in suspense. He said, "According to what Bruce said before, and our suspicions, we gave him a comprehensive and detailed physical examination, and we can come to three conclusions."
"First, although Bruce's words made me feel incredulous, through data analysis, we can confirm that Hulk did change back because he ate crab roe soup dumplings."
The Avengers all knew that Dr. Banner was not a person who liked to talk nonsense, so they roughly believed it when they heard it before. But even so, when Tony gave a positive answer, they still expressed surprise.
“It\'s
amazing！”
"So those crab roe soup dumplings were kissed by the Fairy Godmother with her magic wand?"
"Sam, I didn't expect you to be so childish."
Black Widow Natasha Romanov glanced at Sam and said in a mocking tone.
The tough black man shrugged. "I can't help it, I just told Cathy the story of Cinderella yesterday."
Natasha raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and then looked at Tony. "Are all the crab roe soup dumplings useful to Hulk?"
"No." Tony shook his head. "This is the second conclusion I want to say-"
"I analyzed the food in Bruce's stomach that day, and I can confirm that it was just some ordinary ingredients, and according to Issou's route that day, I found the place where she bought these ingredients."
"I bought the same ingredients according to her shopping list, and invited ten famous Chinese cooks to make the same crab roe soup dumplings, but to my disappointment, these crab roe soup dumplings were nothing special except that they were edible."
Hearing Tony's words, Sam smiled and said, "So those crab roe soup dumplings were not kissed by the Fairy Godmother with her magic wand, but the girl who made these crab roe soup dumplings might have a magic wand, right?"
Hawkeye Clint Barton, who grabbed a bag of blueberries from Tony, asked while eating snacks, "Actually, I just want to know, is this thing really that delicious?"
