Food saved 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. The conflicting temperament of being half immature and half mature made her look particularly attractive.
Pietro on the right had a head of unconventional grayish hair. He exuded the liveliness and vitality of a young man. He looked like a handsome and cute big boy.
Issou asked, "Are both of you applying for the job?"
"Yes." Fanta nodded. She and Pietro were twin mutants. Ever since their adoptive parents passed away, they had been living together.
After their adoptive parents' identities were 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.
Fortunately, he rejected them. Otherwise, why would they come here and be attracted to "My Chinese Restaurant" by the aroma of the food?
She said, "We saw your job posting on the Internet,
So we decided to come over 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 Issou in the eye,
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 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 still needs two waiters."
Issou wasn't dissatisfied with the twins Wanda and Pietro. Apart from 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.
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 get rid of the 'if'."
"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 hold back the expressions on their faces and laughed together.

Because they didn't expect the siblings to be recruited by Issou so easily and smoothly, Wanda and Pietro felt excited and 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 from 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 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 twitched. Could it be that in his eyes, she was actually blind?
However, when he saw Pietro looking at him nervously, Issou had no choice but to 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 the naive and gullible Pietro's heartfelt words 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 matter to Wanda, and there were three meanings in his words —
How fast he reacted on the spot.
What a great excuse to boast about himself.
How easy it was to fool her boss.
Of course, this was not the point. The point was —
Wanda was done for! All! Of! Of! Of!
Issou, who tried his best to pretend not to know that they were all mutants: "…"
Very good.
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 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. 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 grab 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 could not 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 and delicious rice pot and could not 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 repeating it."
As she spoke, she casually listed out a series of casserole dishes, such as preserved flavor casserole rice, mushroom chicken casserole rice, oyster sauce beef casserole rice, pepper diced chicken casserole 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 her employees in this regard.
Hearing this, Clarice and the others could not help but cheer, especially Wanda and Pietro. They thought that the staff's meals were already very good, but they did not expect there to be so many different kinds of delicious dishes.
When Wanda and Pietro both ate their first mouthful of casserole rice, they were really glad that they were not tricked into joining the Mutant Brotherhood by Magneto. Otherwise, how would they have the opportunity to be waitresses in Issou's Chinese restaurant? And to eat such delicious casserole rice as well?
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 absorbed immediately 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 flavor lingered in their mouths.
The most amazing thing was the layer of golden brown rice crust at the bottom of the pot. When they ate it, it was fragrant and crispy, and it was simply a memorable taste.
Wanda and Pietro were completely conquered by this pot of black bean and pork ribs. The siblings could not wait 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 Rib Stew Rice was simply heartwarming to the extreme.
Issou glanced at Wanda and Pietro. The siblings obviously had not recovered from the world of delicious 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. Because after I ate your cooking for the first time, I was also wholeheartedly enjoying the food."
It was so delicious that she could not 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 were speechless.
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 a holiday in this world!?"
The next day, Lorna, who was brought to the mall by Issou, raised her eyebrows and looked at her. "Are you sure you didn't choose the wrong person?"
"What?" Hearing this, Issou turned to look at Lorna. She reached out her hands, revealing the metal bracelets on her wrists, and then motioned for her to look down at the steel-toed boots she was wearing.
toed
Boots.
Lorna asked, "Don't you think my taste is wrong?"
"Who said so?"
"Marcus."
"Okay, you can ignore the comments of straight men." Issou said with a smile, "After all, choker is no different from a dog collar in their eyes."
When she heard Issou's example, Lorna could not help but laugh. She said, "So you believe in my taste?"
"I think it's pretty cool." When she heard Issou's words, Lorna gave her a meaningful smile and then said, "In fact, it's even cooler to use them."
After all, she wore steel-toed boots and metal bracelets so that she could fly.
Issou, "…???"
He felt like she had a strange meaning when she said "use them".
When she saw Issou's puzzled look, Lorna did not intend to explain. Instead, she changed the topic. "Have you made a list of the things we need to buy?"
"Of course." Issou did not press the issue. After all, even close friends had their own secrets. She took out her phone and opened the memo. There was already a list of items she needed to buy.
Lorna leaned over to take a look at Issou's phone. She saw that the list of items was filled with xn. She understood and said, "You're planning to buy tables and chairs for your Chinese restaurant today?"
"Yeah." Yi Su nodded. "Previously, I was busy getting a license and contacting food suppliers, so I kept delaying the purchase of tables and chairs."
Issou came to New York alone to open a Chinese restaurant. No matter how well she adapted, there was one fact that could not be hidden —
She was alone in New York.
And it was her first time opening a Chinese restaurant. She had no experience to speak of.
So many things piled up and she was a little flustered.
"Okay." After Lorna and Issou walked into one of the furniture stores, they glanced at the variety of furniture. "You can cross off buying tables and chairs from your schedule. We can get it done today!"
"I hope so." Issou replied to Lorna. But at this time, she felt that the possibility was not high because she felt that her Dysphoria would drag her down.
However, in the process of selecting tables and chairs, Lorna's decisiveness completely played a role. Not only did she greatly reduce the possibility of Issou's Dysphoria, but she also successfully avoided wasting time.
"Lorna, you're amazing!" Issou could not help but reach out and hug Lorna when he swiped his card to pay the bill. The smile on his face was brighter than the sun. "If you weren't here today, I wouldn't have been able to get it done even if you gave me another afternoon."
Lorna, who allowed Issou to hug her, said, "If you weren't so distracted, you could've gotten it done quickly by yourself."
"No, no, no." Issou shook his head at Lorna. "If you weren't here, it would've been impossible for me not to be distracted."
