Originally, it was said that I would go back to China during the New Year, and take Tony Stark to taste the authentic Chinese food by the way.

But right now...

Whether it was Beyonita, 2B and the little girl Conna, they all focused on the manor they just bought, and they were all very excited, obviously not wanting to leave.

What else can I say? Even the head of the family cannot go against the wishes of the majority. In desperation, Shi Xiaolei had to revise the original plan, temporarily pressed the idea of ​​returning to China for the New Year, and put it on the itinerary list for next year.

Just a little bit sorry for Stark.

After all, he promised him a long time ago that he would take him to China for a tour. The change now is undoubtedly a missed appointment, so even if Stark himself doesn't mind, Shi Xiaolei, who has always been loyal and honest, still feels a little sorry.

Since you are apologetic, you have to express it.

It seems that it is not enough to invite Stark to dinner on New Year's Eve. After careful consideration, Shi Xiaolei made a decision - to disclose the secret of the Ark to Stark.

It's related, so there's no need to hide it from him. Coupled with the apology in his heart, and the reason for 'the new year is here, I should have given a gift'... Combined with Stark's character as a scientific research leader, Shi Xiaolei felt that the ark that reproduced the scenery of the prehistoric era would definitely Arouse the interest of friends and fully satisfy his curiosity and desire for research.

"Hey guy."

"Come on. Have you had breakfast yet?" Shi Xiaolei greeted him warmly after opening the door to welcome Stark into the room.

"Of course not." Stark said honestly and rudely: "Knowing that you have delicious food here, of course I have to come here on an empty stomach. Yo, Kona, good morning~."

"Hi, Tony~."

"Don't you have to go to class today?" He put on his slippers and went into the room, just in time to glance at the wall clock on the wall, confirming that the time was past the point of school, and Stark asked again.

"Yeah. You forgot, today is Saturday~." Holding up the small spoon in her hand, Kona's little face was full of happy smiles.

"Really, hehe." He clapped his hands with the little girl, sat down beside her, looked left and right, but couldn't find the shadows of 2B and Beyonita, Stark couldn't help but be a little curious: "Huh? Those two What about one? Aren't you home?"

"You mean Sylvia and Beyonita?" Shi Xiaolei replied as he walked towards the kitchen, "The two of them went out early in the morning, saying they were going to a construction company to discuss the design of the manor renovation. What to eat? Why don't I get you some dumplings, there's some left in the fridge."

"Lamb stuffed?"

"Well, your favorite mutton stuffing."

"Okay, just eat that." With a snap of his fingers, Stark nodded with satisfaction: "I want to eat fried, not boiled. Emm, two more poached eggs, one for Conner and me."

"Poached eggs~! Poached eggs~!" Cooperating with Stark, Connor shouted yelply.

"Okay, fried dumplings, two poached eggs. I'll be ready soon."

Kangna's bowl contained the preserved egg and lean meat porridge that 2B had boiled in the morning, and there were also several plates of side dishes suitable for eating porridge on the table.

Dried radishes dipped in marinade are red and white, the kelp mixed in the morning has a greenish tinge, there is a plate of charred yellow grilled fish, and a stack of brown marinated beef. Although there are not many dishes, the colors are very bright and eye-catching. Even people who have no experience with Chinese food will feel very appetizing when they see it.

Besides, Tony Stark is a 'regular customer' who has tasted it.

No, he couldn't resist the temptation of food. He had already picked up his chopsticks and tasted the delicious side dishes.

While eating, I chatted with the little girl Conna, and soon, the fried dumplings and fried eggs that Stark wanted were ready.

"Perfect~!" The tip of the chopsticks tapped the egg yolk lightly, feeling the softness from the inside, and Stark gave Shi Xiaolei a thumbs up in his backhand.

"That's~." He smiled proudly and sat down opposite Kang Na. Shi Xiaolei also picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat his breakfast.

"Speaking of which, what's the matter with you calling me here so early?" Putting a fried dumpling in his mouth, Stark opened the conversation.

The dumplings made at home are a circle larger than the quick-frozen dumplings sold outside. The key is that there is more gravy in the stuffing, and it is a little bit hot when you eat it in one bite.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Hey~, ha." He managed to slow down and swallow the dumplings into his stomach. Stark had to repeat: "I mean..."

"Oh, that's what you said." Shi Xiaolei deliberately sold off, and smiled mysteriously: "It's not a big deal, I just plan to take you somewhere."

"Ok??"

"Don't get me wrong." Looking at Stark's mean eyes, Shi Xiaolei guessed that he must have misunderstood: "Don't say I'm not that kind of person, even if I am, where do I run to? You don't even look at what time it is."

"Then you have a mysterious face." Stark held back his mouth, seeming a little disappointed.

"I don't say it now, because I'm afraid you will choke when you eat dumplings." Shi Xiaolei shook his head, crying and laughing: "Hurry up and eat, you will know the answer after eating."

"Tsk. You've affected my appetite, OK?"

That's what I said, but Stark's appearance when he was eating didn't look like his appetite was affected at all. When the last dumpling was eaten, his unfinished expression had already explained everything.

To be honest, if I hadn't seen that Shi Xiaolei, who had finished eating first, had already started cleaning the dishes~lightnovelpub.net~ he would probably have to order something else to eat.

"Tony~!" Just when Stark had some regrets, the little girl came to him with two cute little enamel jars: "Here, this is yours."

"Kona is really capable, thank you."

I've been here many times, and I've long been surprised by the enamel jars that Shi Xiaolei bought from the Internet. What really made Stark a little curious was the drinks in the enamel jars.

It was dark, and it looked a bit like a cola that was out of breath. Taking a sip, it was sweet and sour, and it was quite delicious.

"what is this?"

"Sour plum soup, it helps with digestion." At the Peninsula Kitchen, Shi Xiaolei replied with a smile, "Is the taste alright? If you like it, I'll give you a pack and take it back and drink it yourself."

"Thank you." Raising his glass, Stark accepted the small gift unceremoniously.

After a while, Shi Xiaolei finished washing the dishes, took off his apron, washed his hands, and came to the living room again.

"Can we talk now?"

"Don't worry." With a smile, Shi Xiaolei turned his head first and reminded the little girl, "Kang Na, didn't you say you want to go together too? Go, go back to the house and change clothes, we'll set off immediately."

"Oh, wait for me." Putting down the enamel cup, the little girl pulled her cotton slippers and ran back to her room.

Shi Xiaolei stood up when the little girl changed into her clothes and came to the living room.

Under Stark's slightly curious gaze, he put one hand on his shoulder and held the little girl Conna with the other, and Shi Xiaolei secretly said 'walk up'.

The next second, the three people were no longer in the room.
