Food saves the world.
"Who said that?"
"Marcus."
"Okay,
You can ignore the comments from the straight guys. " Issou said with a smile, "After all, choker is no different from a dog collar in their eyes."
When Lorna heard Issou's example, she couldn't help but laugh.
She said, "So you believe in my taste?"
"I think it's pretty cool." When Lorna heard Issou's words, she gave her a meaningful smile.
Then she said, "In fact, it's even cooler to use."
After all, she wore steel-toed boots and metal bracelets to fly.
Issou: "…???"
He felt like she had a strange meaning when she said "to use".
When she saw Issou's puzzled look, Lorna didn't intend to explain. Instead, she changed the topic. "Have you made a list of the things to buy?"
"Of course." Issou didn't want to get to the bottom of the matter.
After all, no matter how close a friend was, they would have their own little secrets.
She took out her phone and clicked on the memo. There was already a list of items to buy.
Lorna leaned over and glanced at Issou's phone.
She saw that the list of items to buy was filled with xn.
She said, "You're planning to buy tables and chairs for your Chinese restaurant today?"
"Yeah." Issou nodded.
"I was busy getting a license before,
And contacting ingredients suppliers.
Buying tables and chairs was delayed again and again. "
Issou came to New York alone to open a Chinese restaurant.
No matter how well she adapted,
There was no way to hide the fact —
She was alone in New York.
And it was her first time opening a Chinese restaurant and she had no experience to speak of.
So a lot of 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 out the purchase of tables and chairs in your plan.
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 difficulty in choosing would be a hindrance.
However, in the following process of choosing the tables and chairs,
Lorna's decisiveness was completely effective. Not only did she greatly reduce the possibility of Issou's difficulty in choosing, she also successfully avoided wasting time.
"Lorna, you're amazing!" Issou could not help but reach out and hug Lorna when he was paying the bill. The smile on his face was brighter than the sun. "If you weren't here today, I don't think I would have been able to get it done even if I had the whole afternoon."
Lorna, who allowed Issou to hug her, replied, "If you weren't so half-hearted, you could have done it yourself."
"No, no, no." Issou shook his head at Lorna, "If you weren't here, I wouldn't have been able to be half-hearted."
As the black-haired girl said this, she could not help but smile and leaned her head on Lorna's shoulder. "That's why I'm so smart to bring you along to choose the tables and chairs."
Issou's words made Lorna raise an eyebrow, "I thought you were going to say that you were lucky that I agreed to come with you to choose the tables and chairs?"
"Hmm." Issou heard this and pretended to be dumb. "Isn't that about the same?"
Lorna, "…"
How was that about the same?
They had two completely different meanings, okay?
But when she met Issou's sparkling black eyes, Lorna did not say anything and just smiled.
Seeing Issou fill in the delivery address and contact number, Lorna, who was standing by the side with her arms crossed, asked casually, "Do you have any other plans?"
"Today's mission is complete." Issou tilted his head and looked at Lorna, "Lorna, do you have anywhere you want to go?"
Lorna said, "I heard there's a pretty good restaurant nearby."
Issou made an OK gesture to Lorna, "Then we'll go and try it later."
Lorna smiled. Seeing her continue to fill in the form, she could not help but think of Issou's house that she obviously lived in alone. She asked, "So you're dealing with the Chinese restaurant all by yourself?"
"Hmm, not really." Issou answered Lorna without looking up, "Just like today, Lorna, didn't you help out too? My mom also gave me some information, which saved me a lot of time. "
Just providing her with the information of the ingredient supplier was enough for Issou to take a lot of shortcuts.
While they were talking, Issou had already filled in the address and contact number. After putting down the pen, she looked at Lorna, "I'm going to the bathroom, Lorna, do you want to come with me?"
Lorna smiled, "Why? Are you afraid of getting lost? "
Issou pointed at her face and asked, "Do I have a face that's bad with directions?"
Hearing Issou's words, Lorna pretended to look at her seriously. She could not tell if she had a face that was bad with directions, but …
The fair and tender Issou did indeed have a face that made people feel uneasy, especially her eyes that occasionally revealed a hint of childlike innocence. She always gave people the feeling that she was easy to fool.
“Emmm。” Looking at Issou like this, Lorna suddenly asked, "Issou, are your parents from China?"
"You think I look like a mixed-race person, right?" Issou smiled, "But I'm not sure, because I've never met my father. I only heard from my mom that he's very handsome."
As for the rest, her mother never mentioned it. It was not that Issou was not curious, but every time she asked, her mother would always tell her about the romantic history between them.
Issou, "…"
She wanted to know who her father was, not eat dog food, okay?
As a result, Izu didn't ask any more questions after a while.
"Sorry." Lorna did not expect to receive such an answer. After all, Issou, who had a simple and happy smile, looked like a child who grew up in a honey pot and was protected by his parents.
She changed the topic, "I don't think your mom needs to say it, I can guess it just by looking at your face."
"Haha, Lorna, if you praise me more directly, I'll be even happier." Issou curled his lips at her, then stuffed the backpack into Lorna's hands. "Then wait for me."
Lorna took Issou's backpack and waved her hand at her. She did not know what would happen to Issou after she went to the bathroom alone. In fact, even Issou did not expect that she would be dragged away from the back by someone after turning the corner.
Issou, who was not prepared at all, "…!!!???"
The danger came so suddenly that Issou's mind almost went blank at that moment. When she came back to her senses, she subconsciously struggled with her hands and feet.
However, it was futile. Even the other party could not help but laugh at her overestimation, "Save your strength, you b * tch."
This voice …
Issou's eyes widened at once. When the man pushed her into the utility room, she turned her head and saw a familiar face, "It's you?!"
The man in front of her was none other than the burly man who wanted to molest Lorna in the supermarket but was stopped by her.
Issou looked at him, pretending to be calm, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do?" After the man locked the utility room door, he looked at Issou. "Of course I want to teach you a lesson for ruining my plans."
"Are you sure you can afford to teach me a lesson?" Hearing the sound of the door being locked, Issou's heart sank. She compared the size of the two and desperately gave up the idea of fighting force with force. "I'm not going back for so long, my friends will definitely come looking for me. Do you think you can beat so many of them?"
"Them?" When the man heard Issou's words, he unceremoniously exposed her bluff. "It's her, isn't it?"
Issou's expression changed slightly, "You're following us?"
"No, it's God who gave me this opportunity."
The man was supposed to deliver goods to the mall today, but he coincidentally bumped into Issou and Lorna in the furniture store. After delivering the goods, he stayed behind.
Unfortunately, Issou and Lorna were both in the furniture store, so he could not find any opportunity. Just as he was about to give up, Issou went to the bathroom alone.
"You ruined my plans last time and caused me to get beaten up. How are you going to pay for this?" The man touched his cheekbone that was punched by Marcus. Although it had been a few days, he could still feel the pain when he gently pressed on it. This made his expression even worse, but …
The man's gaze swept back and forth on Issou's body several times, then fell on her face. Suddenly, a malicious smile appeared on his face, "Why don't you compensate me with your own body?"
Seeing the man approaching her step by step, Issou turned around, grabbed the things in the utility room, and threw them at him. She was not stupid. She knew very well what would happen if she did not resist.
However, there was nothing lethal in this utility room. The man easily approached Issou, reached out, and pulled her to his side.
Issou felt her scalp tighten, and the sudden pain made her eyes fill with tears. Seeing the man's face close in, she reached out to grab him. At the same time, there was the sound of the door being broken down.
Kung Pao Chicken was not only a famous traditional Chinese dish, but in the eyes of many foreigners, Kung Pao Chicken was equivalent to Chinese cuisine.
Moriarty had tasted Kung Pao Chicken from many Chinese restaurants, but none of them were as amazing as the one in front of him.
Spicy and sweet, spicy and sweet were the characteristics of Kung Pao Chicken. When Moriarty took the first bite, the juices absorbed from the tender chicken exploded in his mouth.
First, a slight numbness invaded the tip of his tongue. Before he could react, a burst of light spiciness invaded his tongue. It was as if there was a mixture of Sichuan pepper and red pepper dancing on the tip of his tongue, dancing in the addictive spicy lychee flavor.
The spiciness was not stimulating, but it was enough to invigorate his spirit. It was as if it had turned into a magical hand, firmly grabbing all of his attention. However, before the lingering spiciness could claim supremacy, a surge of sweetness attacked his taste buds aggressively.
The tender and spicy taste of the diced chicken combined with the crispiness of the peanuts to create an impeccable taste on the tip of his tongue.
In fact, Moriarty had tasted other delicacies that were full of praise. He had even tasted a lot of authentic Chinese cuisine. However, no matter how much he ate, it was not as captivating as the food in front of him.
Whether it was the fragrant but not greasy Twice Cooked Pork, the spicy and crispy Kung Pao Chicken, or even the bowl of sweet and plump white rice, Moriarty could not stop thinking about it.
What?
You're asking Moriarty if he still remembers his purpose of coming here?
...
...
...
What purpose was there?
He was a proper customer, and he was just here for a meal!
Just as Moriarty was looking forward to the third dish, a claypot suddenly appeared in front of him. He looked up slightly and saw a beautiful face that lit up his eyes.
Issou was wearing a snow-white chef's robe. Her long hair was tied up and hidden under her chef's hat. Without any makeup, she looked clean and neat. She put down the tray, then grabbed the sides of the claypot and placed it in front of Moriarty.
He asked, "Are you the head chef of this Chinese restaurant?"
