Since Moriarty said that there was no need to make a complicated dinner,
As long as it was simple, then Issou naturally made it as simple as possible.
Okay.
In fact, it was because there weren't enough ingredients in the kitchen for her to make a complicated meal.
Ever since "My Chinese Restaurant" opened, the ingredients in the kitchen had been completely clean.
It was indeed cleaner than the face.
But fortunately …
Issou said, "We just happened to have Lanzhou beef ramen tonight,
So there's still some ramen left … "
As she spoke, the black-haired girl took out the ramen and other ingredients,
While looking at Moriarty, who was at the kitchen door, "You don't mind, right?"
"I should be the one asking if you mind making dinner for me so late."
Although Moriarty had come to "My Chinese Restaurant" many times,
This was the first time he had been close to Issou's kitchen.
Of course, it was mainly because every time he came here to eat,
It was the peak time for Chinese restaurants,
Moriarty naturally wouldn't be so tactful as to cause trouble for Issou.
After all, his current persona was a considerate and gentle man, not a big bad guy who caused trouble for others.
What?
Moriarty was so obedient in "My Chinese Restaurant" because of his persona, or because he was worried that Issou would reject him after causing trouble?
…
…
…
What kind of truth was that?
Hearing Moriarty's words, Issou, who was putting things in the pot, smiled and glanced at him, "If I minded, you wouldn't be standing here now."
Although Issou and the others had Lanzhou beef ramen tonight, they only had ramen left.
It was probably impossible to make Moriarty another bowl of authentic Chinese noodle soup.
But he couldn't make Lanzhou beef ramen,
He could also make clear soup ramen,
Issou put the ramen into the pot and boiled it,
Then he scooped it into a bowl with a prepared soup base,
And sprinkled the chopped green onions on top,
A simple bowl of clear soup ramen was ready.
Moriarty originally thought that he was done,
However, Issou took out another bowl.
He poured soy sauce, vinegar, chili sauce and other condiments into it. Seeing this, he asked curiously, "Izu, are you going to make another soup base?"
"No."
Issou quickly stirred the seasoning into the noodles as she answered Moriarty's question. "Ramen alone is too vegetarian. I'll cut you a few slices of marinated beef."
The marinated beef had been prepared long ago. He had selected the tender calf tendons with crisscrossing veins to make the marinated beef taste excellent. It was the best dish to be eaten with wine and dishes. When eating noodles, it was also very delicious.
After stirring the condiments into a sauce, Issou took out the steamed beef with soy sauce. The meat of the beef was firm and firm, but the slices were still intact when he sliced it.
After placing the slices of marinated beef on a plate, Issou put the small bowl with the sauce and the bowl of clear soup ramen on the tray and handed them to Moriarty, "Here, Jim, your dinner. Take it out yourself."
After ordering Moriarty around, Issou turned around to pack up. Moriarty, the master of crime, could not help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the black-haired girl's back facing him. He chuckled and said, "No problem."
Although he was usually the one ordering others around, now that he was being ordered around by Issou, the mastermind of the world's criminal organization was not angry. In fact, he did not feel uncomfortable at all. He obediently took out his dinner.

Although Moriarty's dinner tonight was much simpler than the diners in "My Chinese Restaurant," it was not simple at all in terms of taste.
The light soup base, the yellow ramen, and the green onions at the top of the bowl made this simple three-colored bowl of noodles very tempting.
Moriarty picked up the noodles with his chopsticks and slurped a mouthful. His eyes lit up instantly. The noodles were smooth and tasty, and when he took a bite, he could clearly feel the strength of the noodles. After drinking a mouthful of the hot but refreshing soup, he felt his whole body heating up.
He picked up another slice of marinated beef. The top side was bright red in the sauce, but the cut side was red in color. He leaned in and took a sniff. He could smell the rich aroma of beef. He dipped both sides of the beef into the sauce Issou made and put it directly into his mouth.
The first thing the tip of his tongue touched was the spiciness in the sauce. When he savored it carefully, he could also taste the flavor of garlic and other condiments. Moriarty could not wait to bite down. The firm marinated beef was not hard or dry. Instead, it was tender and refreshing.
Coupled with the rich aroma of the beef and the sauce, which was fully released by the careful chewing, it was so delicious that he could not stop praising it.
While Moriarty was enjoying his simple but delicious dinner, Issou had already cleaned up everything in the kitchen. As she walked out, she wiped the water droplets off her hands with a towel. When she approached Moriarty, she asked, "How is it? Is it enough? "
Moriarty put down his chopsticks and looked up at Izzo with a smile. "I thought you would ask me if it's delicious." Moriarty was so good that not only did he finish the ramen and marinated beef, but he also finished the soup.
"Please."
Issou spread her hands at Moriarty. She raised one of her eyebrows, looking very confident. "Why would I ask a question that only has one answer?"
"Haha."
Issou's answer made Moriarty laugh. He took out a tissue and wiped his mouth. "Issou, you're not modest at all. You don't give me any room to express myself."
"I'm really sorry."
Issou pretended to look at Moriarty and said, "How about this? Let's rewind. "
Then, the black-haired girl blinked and asked, "How is it? Is it to your liking? "
Moriarty played along and said, "It's great. After so many days, I can finally stop my taste buds from suffering."
If his old enemy, Shylock, knew that he was playing such a childish and meaningless game with Issou, he would probably regret flying all the way from London to New York.
"Pfft."
In fact, not only Shylock, but even Issou, as the person involved, felt that she and Moriarty were indeed quite childish. However, because he was so cooperative every time, Issou felt that he was very nice.
It was just that his acting skills were not that good. He made her laugh every time.
"…???" James Moriarty, the real actor who never dropped his disguise.
Who?
Whose acting skills were not that good?
After Moriarty, who Issou thought was not that good at acting, played along with her childish game, he took the initiative to clean up the bowls and chopsticks that he had finished eating.
"My Chinese Restaurant" was now closed. Clarice and the twins were also kicked off by Issou, so now only Issou and Moriarty were left in the restaurant.
No matter what Moriarty's identity was, at least in front of Issou, he was always a gentleman and considerate.
Issou did not stand on ceremony with him. He directed him to put the bowls and chopsticks into the dishwasher that was set up in advance. After Moriarty finished washing his hands, the two walked out of the kitchen.
Moriarty picked up his jacket and said to Issou, "Let's go, I'll take you home."
Before Issou left, he checked all the doors, windows, and switches. When he heard Moriarty's words, he asked, "Aren't you tired?"
"I was a little tired at first, but after eating your ramen, I'm completely energized." Moriarty was not joking when he said this. After eating the ramen and spiced beef, he really felt that the fatigue and tiredness from the long journey had disappeared.
"And when I first came back, I heard that something happened at your Chinese Restaurant. As a precaution, of course I had to send you home safely."
"You're quite well-informed," Issou heard this and glanced at Moriarty. "I thought you didn't know."
"Issou, you really hurt me when you say that. Do I look like someone who doesn't care about you?"
Moriarty had to leave New York for a few days because he had some business to deal with, but he did not expect that right after he left, Issou would meet a psychopath.
By the time he found out, the matter had already been resolved.
"Okay." Issou raised his hands in surrender. "I was wrong. I was just a little surprised."
Seeing that Moriarty was still looking at him, Issou continued, "Thank you for your concern, but as you can see, I'm fine."
She smiled at him. "Steve and the others all tried to protect me, so I was just a little scared. Later, thanks to Tony and Bruce's help, the matter was suppressed."
Whether it was "a certain Chinese restaurant alarmed the NYPD to dispatch a large number of police officers because of a customer cutting in line" or "a serial killer on the run was caught because of a skewer of roast lamb", Izu didn't intend to make "my Chinese restaurant" the headlines in this way.
After Tony and Bruce found out about the incident, they suppressed all news about "My Chinese Restaurant" that day. Of course, in order to divert attention, the two of them attended a cocktail party that day.
Probably because of the rumor that two kings would not meet, everyone present thought that Tony Stark and Bruce Weyne, who were in the same frame, would at least be at each other's throats. However, they did not fight, quarrel, or argue with each other, and —
They even hugged in front of so many people!
The stunned onlookers: "…"
Did this mean that Stark and Weyne were going to be married?!
Tony and Bruce: "…"
Bah!
In any case, the news of the "Tycoon CP" became the headline of the day, successfully suppressing the news about "My Chinese Restaurant".
Issou was naturally very touched by Tony and Bruce's thoughtful and heartwarming actions, but beyond that …
The next day, when she saw the photo of them hugging and "Did this mean that Stark and Weyne were going to be married?", she couldn't help but laugh … like a pig.
The members of the two superhero teams, The Avengers and the Justice League, were also laughing like pigs. And … every time they saw Tony or Bruce, they would laugh … once.
Tony and Bruce, who were rarely against Issou: "…"
