After the meal,
Shylock and Moriarty, whose taste buds and appetites were greatly satisfied, instantly turned into Xia Luomiao and Moriarty. At this time, there was no longer the tit-for-tat and hostility between the two of them.
On the contrary, it was surprisingly peaceful.
In fact, even Shylock and Moriarty did not expect that there would be a day when they would sit down so peacefully.
It was not that they usually fought to the death when they met, but when they were together, their brains almost never stopped working at high speed.
Like now, they did not use anything,
They just sat together with their minds completely blank,
But this was the first time in history.
Moriarty looked at Shylock opposite him,
And suddenly smiled at him, "How is it? Is Issou's Chinese food delicious? "
There was nothing wrong with this sentence, but when Moriarty asked it in such a tone, coupled with the smile on his face, it was certain that he was up to no good.
Shylock glanced at him,
And said directly, "You seem to want to laugh at my stubbornness just now?"
Shylock admitted,
He was indeed too arrogant and proud in this matter. Not only did every bite of Issou's food automatically play the BGM, but his image was also ruined.
If it were before,
Shylock would have firmly believed that if the Holmes men had the attribute of protecting their food,
Then it would definitely belong to Mcauliffe.
But now...
Obviously, after eating Issou's Chinese food, Shylock did not think so.
"No, no, no, why would you think so?"
Moriarty shook his head at Shylock, just like in front of Issou,
His smile was still relaxed with a hint of naivety and childishness.
But the difference was,
In front of Shylock, there was a hint of neuroticism in his childlike innocence. He said, "In fact, I forgive your ignorance, just like before I met Issou, I was like a frog at the bottom of a well."
Did Moriarty want to beat Shylock? Of course he did, but he was not complacent because of this matter. At most, he was...
Just looking at Shylock as a joke.
Of course, Moriarty did not have good intentions towards Shylock, because after he thoughtfully found a reason and explanation for Shylock, he laughed gloatingly, "But I think someone has probably been blacklisted by Issou."
When he heard Moriarty's words, the expression on Shylock's face froze slightly, obviously remembering what happened before the meal.
Normally, Shylock would not need to be reminded of this matter, but judging from the previous "food test" of so many diners, Issou's food did indeed have the magic power to make people forget their troubles and throw away all negative emotions.
Even Bruce and Tony, who did not like each other, could actually find each other pleasing to the eye during the post-meal sage period. This proved that nothing was impossible.
"You seem to be very sure that you won't be blacklisted by Issou?" Shylock snapped back to reality and looked at Moriarty. "Don't forget, you are now in disguise to get along with her."
"Wow, I misjudged you, Shylock." Moriarty pretended to be disappointed. "You actually threatened me in order to continue eating Issou's food?"
In response to Moriarty's words, Shylock put on a fake smile and said, "Didn't you bring it up yourself just to make me say this?"
"I can't believe it. Will Sherlock Holmes one day follow my script obediently?" Moriarty leaned forward slightly and approached Shylock. "In order for us to be able to eat Issou's Chinese food in the future, let's make a deal, Shylock."
Shylock looked at him and heard Moriarty continue, "There is only Jim here, no James Moriarty."
Hearing this, Shylock's eyes flashed. Although they already knew Moriarty's identity, he was still a university mathematics professor with a good reputation in the eyes of the public. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay and teach at Empire State University without any problems.
But now, Moriarty was saying that Issou not only knew about his and Watson's identities from other sources (Shylock guessed), but he might also know the true identity of James Moriarty.
It was no wonder that Shylock did not think of this from Issou's reaction. The main reason was that he did not expect Moriarty to not mention his full name when he introduced himself to Issou.
Moriarty was speechless.
Fortunately, he did not mention his full name.
He was not sure if Issou knew what the name James Moriarty meant, but considering the suspicious aspects of Issou and the unanswered questions, Moriarty felt that it was necessary to take precautions.
Shylock did not agree to this. Instead, he asked, "In exchange, will you let me come off Issou's blacklist?"
"No, no, no. That's your business, Shylock," Moriarty refused. "Of course, you have to solve it yourself."
Shylock said, "It sounds like I don't have anything to gain from this."
"Of course." Moriarty laughed. "If you want to relax in New York, someone has to share the pressure from Mr. Holmes with you."
Shylock glanced at him and said, "Deal."
Mcauliffe was speechless.
In fact, not only did Mr. Holmes, who was far away in London, not know that his own brother had teamed up with his nemesis to fight him for a bite to eat, even Watson, who had just returned from the bathroom, did not know what had just happened between Shylock and Moriarty.
Because just as he returned to his seat, he heard Shylock say to him, "John, remember to call him Jim in the future."
Watson was speechless.
Shylock, have you forgotten that he is a big bad guy? Or have you guys formed a food-stealing alliance because of what had just happened?
Thinking of this, Watson's heart ached again. That was a chrysanthemum flower! Two white jade mushrooms! Three pieces of colored peppers and four pieces of black fungus!
Shylock glanced at Watson and knew what he was thinking because the military doctor was too easy to read. His thoughts were almost written on his face. He said, "You can refuse, John, but it won't be so easy for us to come to 'my Chinese restaurant' next."
Watson was speechless.
So, Shylock, you really shook hands with Moriarty (temporarily) for a bite to eat!? What happened to the promise that food won't corrupt your brain!? You're completely corrupted now, okay?!
Watson looked at Shylock and was heartbroken. He then turned to look at Moriarty and said, "Hello, Jim."
What?
You're asking Watson why he chose to fall for a mouthful of food?
...
...
...
Was that just a normal bite?
That was a bite that could make him give up his life!

Issou did not know what agreement Shylock, Moriarty, and Watson had reached. At this time, she was scooping out the golden-brown mandarin fish from the frying pan. She began to arrange the fish with the knife facing up, and then put the head of the fish together.
Issou turned around, stir-fried the scallions in the pan, and then put in the diced mushrooms, prawns, diced bamboo shoots, and other side dishes that she had prepared in advance into the frying pan. She then scooped them up with a spoon and spread them over the fish. After sprinkling pine nuts on them, she served them to the superhero's table together with the braised sauce that she had prepared earlier.
"Issou, what's this dish?"
He was just fighting with Sam for the food, but as soon as Issou served the food, his attention was completely attracted by the dish in her hand. The dish had a unique shape, and it looked like a small animal.
Issou said, "This is squirrel mandarin fish."
"Because it looks like a squirrel?" Scott curiously leaned over to take a look, and then said, "I think if Cathy sees it, she might like it very much."
"That's one of the reasons," Issou said, and then smiled. "There's another reason."
As she said that, the black-haired girl poured the braised sauce on the squirrel mandarin fish. When the steaming hot sauce was poured over it, everyone at the table heard a squeaking sound, as if the "squirrel" had come alive.
"Wow!"
Clint and the others could not help but exclaim. Of course, they knew very well that although the dish on the table was called squirrel mandarin fish, it was not a real squirrel. They also knew why the "squeaking" sound was made when the sauce was poured over it. However, this did not stop them from exclaiming the moment they saw it.
"Well, Cathy will definitely like it if she sees it," Scott changed his mind. For adults like them, even if they knew what was going on, they would still be amazed, not to mention children who had not seen much of the world. They would definitely find it novel and exciting.
With that thought in mind, Scott regretted not bringing his daughter along today. However, it did not matter. He could bring Cathy next time.
Scott still had the time to think about other things, but the other superheroes at the table had already moved their chopsticks at lightning speed after exclaiming in amazement.
It was said that there were no fathers and sons in the business world. This sentence was equally appropriate at the dining table. These superheroes who usually fought side by side and were united as one were almost fighting over a mouthful of food at this moment.
The deep-fried squirrel mandarin fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They could still feel the crispness on the surface when they picked up a piece and put it into their mouths. After biting open the outer layer, the fish meat inside was delicate and smooth, as if it could melt on the tip of their tongues without biting with their teeth.
When they tasted the delicacy in their mouths, the tip of their tongues seemed to touch a trace of sweetness, just like the sweetness that made one's heart palpitate when they were in love. Then, a trace of sourness surged. However, this trace of sourness was not astringent. When it fused with that trace of sweetness, it had a different taste.
The orange squirrel mandarin fish was sweet and sour, and it faintly revealed a bit of pine red flavor. Together with the stir-fried shrimp, crispy diced bamboo shoots, soft diced shiitake mushrooms that had absorbed the gravy, and other side dishes, everyone only felt that the food was fresh and sweet.
However, like Watson and the others, the superheroes at this table also had something that they were dissatisfied with —
That was, the amount of food on each plate was not enough for them to eat.
Watson and the others were only three people, but at this table, other than the Avengers, there were also two people from the Justice League, Bruce and Diana, as well as the mutual friend of the Avengers, Colonel Lord.
With so many people, even if the amount of food served had increased from Issou's average size, it still could not fully satisfy their needs.
Therefore, when there was only a little bit left for each dish, these superheroes came up with all sorts of tricks to eat the last bite.
"Tony! Stop it! " Clint shouted. "Think about your little belly, and then look at Bruce. You're the one who's running for the most popular man in America!"
"Shut up! Hawkeye! " Tony rolled his eyes. "People who eat until they're fat have no right to say that to me. Think about your weight. Are you determined to pull up the weight of the Avengers?"
Tony's words almost angered Clint to death. He grabbed Sam and said, "Come on, brother, help me fight back!"
As a member of the Gossip Alliance, Sam naturally stood on his ally's side. He said to Tony, "Be friendly to our sharpshooter, Tony. Do you want to feel the arrows shot at you by your teammates during battle?"
Clint felt refreshed when he saw his ally help him threaten Tony. However, before he could praise Sam, he was stabbed by his ally in the next second.
After threatening Tony, Sam turned to Clint and said, "But Tony has a point. Take it easy, Fatty. The last time I flew with you, you almost broke my waist."
It's tragic.
Clint: "…"
Get lost!
It's freezing outside, why can't I, an outdoor man, gain some weight to keep myself warm?!
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing Clint's sad and indignant look, the other Superheroes laughed very unsympathetically.
"In that case, Sam, don't eat too much." Scott said from the side, "After all, you rely on flying. Don't be overweight and lose control one day and fall into the enemy's nest."
Sam said, "Wow, there are a lot of people here who rely on flying. No matter how heavy I am, can I be heavier than Tony and Lord's Iron Man Armor?"
Lord, who was innocently implicated: "…???"
Sam continued, "Besides, Scott, have you considered the feelings of your battle suit if you continue to eat?"
With that said, seeing that Dr. Banner was about to move his chopsticks, he quickly stopped him. "Doctor, don't try to cheat."
Dr. Banner gave them an honest smile and said, "I have a hunch that if I don't eat the last bite, the big guy will run out."
Everyone else: "…"
Wow!
An honest person can threaten people?!
While the Avengers were attacking each other, two pairs of chopsticks had secretly reached for the squirrel mandarin fish under their noses. Unfortunately, before they could succeed, they were caught on the spot.
"Captain!"
"Bruce!"
The Avengers, who had been quarreling, turned their unfriendly eyes to Steve and Bruce, expressing their meaning with their eyes —
Captain/Batman, we really didn't expect you to be such a Captain/Batman.
Steve met their gazes and responded with a righteous gaze, "I'm mainly worried that the food won't taste good when it gets cold."
Everyone else: "…"
Okay.
That's ridiculous.
And the reason Bruce gave was even more "thoughtful". He said, "In order to ensure the internal unity of The Avengers, I think I'll sacrifice myself to finish off the remaining squirrel mandarin fish."
Everyone else: "…"
Captain, they were wrong.
So this is what's even more ridiculous.
"Gentlemen!" Natasha said, "Now it's time to show your gentlemanly demeanor!"
Diana also silently took out her Lasso of Truth and looked at the men at the table with a smile. "None of you want to fight, right?"
The men: "…"
Are you going to tie us all up if you fight?
Looking at the two superheroines with hidden daggers in their smiles, the other superheroes shook their heads silently —
Can't afford to offend them.
But don't think that the matter will be resolved just because the other superheroes have quit. The two superheroines, Natasha and Diana, haven't started fighting yet.
What?
Didn't they hit it off at first sight, and in just a few days, their relationship was as good as that of best friends?
…
…
…
Naive.
In such a situation, only the food was real, and everything else was plastic flowers.
#
Although it was said that sisterhood or brotherhood could be turned into plastic flowers for a mouthful of food, they had to admit that everyone was extremely satisfied after lunch. It was like drinking a mouthful of hot soup in winter, warming them up from head to toe.
Although they were superheroes who often needed to save the world, it didn't mean that Steve and the others didn't have time to relax. When they didn't need to save the world, they often ran out to relax.
But they rarely could relax to such an extent as they did now. It was as if all the troubles and worries were far away from them. Their stomachs were heavy with satisfaction, and their hearts were full of happiness.
Natasha's hand held Dr. Banner's hand under the table. When the two's eyes met, they looked at each other and smiled. They didn't need to speak at all. Their feelings could be accurately conveyed to each other through their eyes and smiles.
Seeing Natasha and Dr. Banner, who reeked of love, Sam, who didn't have a girlfriend, and Clint, who had a wife but wasn't around, couldn't stand it.
"Don't be like this, Little Na, Doctor, we just finished eating, don't give us dog food." Clint shook his head as he spoke, then grabbed Scott's hand and shook it in front of them. "Otherwise, believe it or not, we can make you sick to your stomach."
Seeing this, Steve couldn't help but laugh. However, when he saw that Sam was about to make a move, he quickly stopped him. "Sam, stop thinking about it."
"Captain." Sam looked at Steve, "With our friendship, can't we hold hands?"
Steve had a smile on his face, but he firmly refused him, "No."
Sam: "…"
This answer can be said to be very cold, Captain.
"… Tony, you know that the Iron Man Armor can bear a lot of weight, so I flew to the General's house with the tank and threw it at his feet. With a 'bang', I said to him – Is this what you're looking for?"
Lord told his friend Tony the story of wearing the Iron Man Armor. After he finished talking, he saw Tony looking at him and said, "With a 'bang', I said to … Wait, well, I shouldn't have told you this story. If it were anyone else, they would have laughed like crazy."
As he spoke, Lorde revealed a helpless and regretful expression, which amused Tony. He patted Lorde's shoulder and said, "Don't be like that. I promise I'll give you a response that you'll be satisfied with next time."
"Come on." Lord rolled his eyes, "You said the same thing last time."
"Really?" Tony blinked at him, his caramel-colored eyes giving him a sense of innocence. However, as a good friend, Lord had long seen through his innocence. He was actually a guy who always made people angry.
Other than Lord, there was also Diana who could see through the facade. At this moment, she was looking at Bruce next to her, ignoring the innocent expression on his face, and said, "Bruce, you are so unkind. You knew that Issou's food was so delicious, and you didn't tell me?"
Don't ask Diana how she knew that Bruce had once visited "my Chinese restaurant". Although Tony was the only one who admitted it when they were at the Avengers Mansion, but …
Don't forget that Bruce cooperated with Tony to create a big news story.
So it was easy to guess this matter with a little thought.
"I wanted to tell you very much." Bruce spread his hands at Diana, "But considering that we have a lot of things to do in the future, in order to prevent you from thinking about it, I had to keep it from you for the time being."
Diana didn't believe a single word of Bruce's punctuation.
In this regard, Bruce said that he had to learn from Tony, "And I thought that Bari would tell you? After all, he was the one who recommended 'my Chinese restaurant' to me. "
Bari, who was unjustly implicated, "…???"
This was a very innocent scapegoat, okay?
Compared with the happy atmosphere in "my Chinese restaurant", the atmosphere in a secret base of Hydra was not so good.
After Baron Straker, the leader of the terrorist organization Hydra, heard the report from his subordinates, he asked with a cold face, "You mean the reason why you failed to take the hostages and caused the entire team to be wiped out by S.H.E.L.D. and The Avengers was because of X's subordinates?"
The Hydra soldier standing in front of Baron Straker was none other than the man who planned to take the people in "my Chinese restaurant" hostage so that they could escape safely. However, he was directly kicked out of "my Chinese restaurant" by Jack Neeson.
When he heard Baron Straker's words, the man nodded, "Yes."
What?
Didn't the man know that Jack was performing an important mission at the time and had no choice but to attack him?
…
…
…
F * ck off!
Packing lunch for the Ghost Killer is an important mission!?
