Thompson, who did not want to admit that he had lost to Peter, the insignificant Peter, Bookworm Parker, made a handsome pose in front of Issou, then looked at him and asked, "Are you sure?"
Peter Thompson's most admired Spider-man, Parker: "…"
Could Issou, as a Spider-man, abolish his status as the president of the Spider-man fan club?!
Seeing this, not only was Issou not impressed by Thompson's pose, he was even amused by him, "Stop fooling around, eat, and do whatever you need to do after eating."
Hearing this, Thompson, who did not understand why Issou was biased towards the bookworm Peter, could not help but say, "Be careful, if your boss finds out, your salary will be deducted."
"I forgot to mention …" Issou smiled at Thompson, "I am the boss."
Thompson: "…"
He was speechless.
Thompson, who could not do anything about Issou, could only glare fiercely at Peter. After Peter learned that the reason why their braised prawns were extra large was not because Issou recognized him, but because Issou thought that his face was particularly likable, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt 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 had already entered his stomach.
"Hey! Ned! "Peter glared at him," You're too unloyal. "
He reached out and wrapped his arms around his friend's neck, whispering, "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?
He was about to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Ned stuffed a prawn into his mouth. He subconsciously took a bite, and a fresh taste was released in his mouth with a hint of sweetness. The oily taste made Peter forget what he was going to say, and his mind was filled with the fresh taste of the prawns.

It was true that the owner of "My Chinese Restaurant" was headstrong, but it was also true that the food she made was very tempting. Thompson really wanted to have a backbone and leave, but …
The braised prawns on the table were like seductive goods, emitting their own fragrance to seduce people. Although he did not want to admit it, Thompson felt that he was completely attracted to this seductive.
So …
What was backbone?
It did not exist!
After tasting the deliciousness of the braised prawns, Peter had temporarily forgotten his secret delight from Izzo's words and Ned's disloyalty. His mind was now filled with only one thought.
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, then began to eat.
Peter first picked up a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth. When he took a bite, his teeth were scalded by the temperature of the chicken, but he did not spit it out subconsciously. This was because after he bit into it, in addition to being scalded, the soup and other spices absorbed from the chicken suddenly spread in his mouth.
To Peter's surprise, he also tasted a hint of alcohol while chewing. Although he was not yet at the legal age to drink, this did not mean that he had never 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 a similar expression on their faces.
They were all satisfied and happy. At this moment, it was as if everyone's troubles and worries had all left them. The whole warm room was filled with happiness.
"It's amazing." Ned was also satisfied with his meal. He touched 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 directly proportional to his looks, but also his character and taste (ahem).
With this thought in mind, Peter could not help but look for Issou. At this time, 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.
Peter seemed to be more popular with his elders than his peers since he was young. 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 of his age mocked him as the insignificant Peter, while most of the girls of 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..." Hearing Issou's words, Peter hurriedly 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 if they ate it anywhere else. Not to mention, Issou had specially upgraded the dishes for them just now.
Therefore, Peter felt that they could 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...
In addition, Peter had saved him before, so Issou felt that it was reasonable for him to give him a 30% discount.
As he said this, 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 too."
At this point, he added, "Oh, Mei is my aunt."
"And me." 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? Take a seat, I'll go find the boss. "
