but……
"Are you this good at dressing as a woman?" Tony retorted, his face full of exasperation.
After all, he knew that Fu You was male, so the more beautifully Fu You dressed, the more strange Tony felt.
Could it be that the child is actually a girl, and the boy is the one pretending?
"Shut up! I was just trying it on! Trying it on, understand?" Fu You blushed upon hearing this. He had only intended to try it on, but who knew someone would suddenly appear.
Seeing Tony's increasingly strange look, Fu You put the steamer in his hand directly on the table.
"Don't worry about the details, why don't you try my cooking?"
"Did you make this?" Tony looked at the steamer.
"Of course I made it. This is a traditional Chinese steamed dumpling, my masterpiece! You've definitely never had one before," Fu You said proudly.
Although he did have the books provided by the system, cooking skills are not easy to master. Fu You has been trying since morning and has used up a lot of materials to finally reach the passing grade.
"Heh, what kind of cuisine haven't I, Tony Stark, eaten? I've probably eaten more dishes by five-star chefs than you've ever seen." Tony chuckled, not paying much attention to what Fu You said.
"How about giving it a try?" Fu You raised an eyebrow. She believed that although she had only learned the basics quickly, the quality of this dish was in no way inferior to that of a 5-star chef.
"Sure, let's give it a try." Tony was just as curious about Fu You's supposedly confident skills.
Just as Tony reached for the steamer, the doorbell rang.
“Mr. Stark, this is Coulson. I’m here to discuss the details of the press conference this afternoon.”
The person standing outside the door was none other than Coulson, the SHIELD agent who died from overwork. He was mainly there to tell Tony how to handle the reporters at the press conference.
"Let him in, Jarvis." Although Tony didn't really want to interact with those S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, it wouldn't be good to refuse them since they were helping him resolve something.
“Mr. Stark, and who is this?” Coulson greeted Tony and then noticed Fu You standing to the side, asking Tony.
“Fu You, a Chinese,” Fu You answered personally.
"Miss Fu You? Nice to meet you." Coulson greeted her warmly and shook hands with Fu You.
“Mr. Stark, I’m here to inform you of the speech I’ll be giving at this afternoon’s press conference,” Coulson stated, before Tony interrupted him with a raised hand.
"We'll talk about the press conference later. Right now, I'm going to try her cooking."
"Did Miss Fu You make this? Miss Fu You is truly multi-talented." Coulson wasn't annoyed at being interrupted and flattered her.
Tony reached out to lift the lid of the steamer, and the moment the lid was lifted, a burst of steam shot out, creating a swirling mist.
As the steam gradually dissipated, the food inside the steamer was revealed.
They were golden-yellow shumai, topped with black crumbs. A rich aroma wafted over, causing not only Tony to swallow, but also Coulson standing nearby.
"What is this?" Tony looked at Fu You.
"Three-egg shumai, a shumai dish made with three kinds of eggs," Fu You explained.
"Three kinds of eggs?" Tony looked at the shumai, but he didn't see anything that looked like an egg in his memory.
"Are they eggs and preserved eggs?" Coulson suddenly asked.
“Eggs…and preserved eggs? What are preserved eggs?” Tony looked at Coulson with some curiosity.
“That’s right, Mr. Coulson is truly knowledgeable.” Fu You nodded in agreement.
"It's just because I know the owner of a Chinese restaurant," Coulson said with a smile.
Coulson learned about this at a cheap and delicious Chinese restaurant. He often splurges there, so he's quite familiar with the owner.
"So what's left?" Tony looked around curiously, as if he had discovered a new element, but he still couldn't find a third egg-like thing.
"Try it and you'll see," Fu You said with a smile, without saying a word.
"Then let's try it." Tony was also intrigued and picked up a shumai and put it in his mouth.
With one bite, Tony felt the particles explode in his mouth. The delicious taste spread out like an explosion, and the exhilarating feeling of swimming freely in the ocean made Tony let out a soft hum.
"Delicious...this is absolutely delicious!" Tony stood up excitedly. "What kind of food have I been eating in five-star hotels before? Who said Western food is better than Chinese food?"
Because Chinese restaurants in the US have modified their recipes, most of the dishes taste somewhat strange. Not to mention Americans, many Chinese people don't like them either.
However, this dish refreshed Tony's understanding of Chinese cuisine; even a 5-star dish was nothing compared to this.
"May I try one?" Coulson couldn't contain himself any longer.
He wouldn't have such poor self-control, but the scent and Tony's blissful expression made him want to try it.
"Please go ahead." Fu You didn't mind too much, because he had bought a lot of materials since he had obtained the Tonica item through a farming method, and had made quite a few items.
Coulson picked up a shumai and put it in his mouth; for a moment, all he could think of was "delicious."
Savoring that flavor that seemed to come alive was truly amazing.
"Is the secret inside?" Coulson took another shumai from the steamer and broke it in two with his chopsticks.
Inside the shumai are plenty of bright orange grains.
"What is this?" Coulson was taken aback.
“They are crab eggs, fresh crab eggs that I bought,” Fu You explained.
"The sweetness of the egg pancake, the savory aroma of the preserved egg, and finally the delicious crab roe—what a brilliant idea! It truly deserves to be called 'three eggs in one'," Coulson exclaimed, recalling the layered textures.
When he looked up, he saw Tony staring at him with an unfriendly expression, and all the other shumai in the steamer had been devoured.
Coulson gave an awkward laugh.
"It's alright, I made quite a lot, let's have it all together as lunch." Fu You brought out a few more steamers from the kitchen.
Tony and Coulson's eyes lit up.
……
"Did you give the manuscript to Tony Stark?" Chief Inspector Egg asked.
"Yes."
"So, did you see that little girl? What was your impression of her?"
Coulson thought for a moment: "Cooking...it's quite delicious?"
"Huh??" Egg looked completely bewildered.
……
1. I'm still asking for various things, thank you.
2. This update is at 2 AM, my bad. I even fell asleep sitting up, and when I opened my eyes it was already 11 AM. My mind is a complete mess, but after calming down, I quickly typed this. I have weekends off, so I'll continue updating on Friday night.
3. Actually, most people don't like eating preserved eggs on their own. However, preserved eggs are quite good as a side dish, such as preserved egg and lean pork congee.
4. By the way, why did I write it as "Cooking Master Boy"? I hope you didn't happen to be reading my book on an empty stomach this morning.
5. Shuke's plate keeps exploding.
The 17th Zhang Ma Resisted Fuck Hero
"I am Iron Man."
Tony didn't look at the script provided by S.H.I.E.L.D., and revealed his identity directly to all the reporters at the press conference.
The entire room was immediately stunned. This explosive news caused all the reporters to rush forward to interview the reporter.
"Tony is really good at pretending."
Fu You was watching the exciting scene on TV at home when a single sentence caused chaos in the live broadcast.
After Tony left for the press conference, Fu You used his deafness and blindness skills to sneak back home. When he turned on the TV, he caught Tony's press conference.
After transforming for almost half a day, there was a strange sense of exhilaration after reverting to male form.
"To celebrate the successful conclusion of Iron Man 1, let's go out and have a small party!" Fu You immediately made the decision, inviting a few friends out for an American-style wild party.
Then I turned on my phone, and there were only two phone numbers on it: Peter Parker and the delivery service.
"...Do I have that few friends?" Fu You was speechless.
Thinking about it carefully, although it's been almost a month since I transmigrated, it seems that all I've done is look for Tony and stay at home playing games, and as a result, my contact list only contains Peter.
“Awkward, let’s call Peter.” Fu You dialed Peter’s number.
"Hey Peter, what are you doing?"
"Oh... Fu You, I'm here... Damn it, I have something to do right now, let's talk later." A series of noisy sounds came from Peter's end, including the sound of water spraying and something breaking. Amid the chaos, Peter hung up the phone.
"Oh no, this is bad." The last person in the contacts list seems pretty busy too, probably fixing the pipes? There's such a loud sound of water.
"Jarvis, how's Grand Theft Auto going?" Fu You placed his last hope on the game currently under development.
"Mr. Fu You, the game is still in the system testing phase and is expected to be completed in another 12 hours."
Okay, so there's no game to play either.
"I think it's all Tokiomi's fault that I don't have any friends. I'm going to have some fun by myself." Fu You decisively shifted the blame and decided to go out and have some fun today.
After dressing in his casual clothes, Fu You surprisingly felt a unique sense of security in men's clothing and trousers.
I pushed open the door and went out, intending to take a stroll around the neighborhood.
However, Fu You's trip to relax kept everyone else busy.
"Sir, the target has left." The agent standing on the rooftop said into the walkie-talkie.
"Team B, follow closely, but don't get too close either."
The voice on the walkie-talkie gave the order, and at the same time, several "office workers" dressed in black suits and carrying briefcases walked out of the alley and followed behind Fu You.
……
"Chief, our investigation confirms that the target was not at home on the night Iron Man fought Devilman."
Coulson handed over the report he had obtained and spoke to Egg.
"Is that really the case?" Egg looked at the document with a furrowed brow.
"What are you thinking about, Chief?" Coulson asked, seeing the Chief's worried expression.
“Agent Coulson, this file will be classified as Level 10 Secret.” Egg’s words startled Coulson.
“I need someone I trust to keep an eye on this for me, so I’m allowing you to view this document under special circumstances, but only with my approval,” Egg said earnestly to Coulson.
"Yes, Chief. But is it necessary to classify this information as Level 10?" Coulson had also looked at the file. Although Fu You often mysteriously disappeared, he was a typical homebody in his daily life and very honest.
"Coulson, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?" Eddie Redmayne crossed his hands under his nose, making a practiced commanding gesture.
"He was there when the Minotaur appeared. Then he vanished into thin air when the Devilman appeared? All our bugging devices stopped working after the Minotaur incident. Are these all just coincidences?" Chief Egg said in a deep voice.
“I think… Fu You is the person behind the Minotaur and Devilman incident, or even if he wasn’t the one who did it, he might be very involved,” Egghead analyzed calmly.
Being present once might be an accident, but if the timing matches up twice, it can't be an accident, right?
He has already instructed the agents not to act rashly, as that person may possess some supernatural abilities.
"I need to find someone." After pondering for a while, Chief Egg made a decision.
……
Tony is having a good day.
At the midday press conference, his statement "I am Iron Man" garnered a lot of attention. Although his intention was not to show off, he still felt a little smug.
Ethan also came to New York to settle down temporarily. Tony plans to send him back after the situation there stabilizes.
New York is a safe and comfortable place where the rich are treated like royalty; it's practically a paradise for the wealthy.
Tony happily took Ethan out for some fun. Although Tony no longer had the hobby of going to unusual places, he still enjoyed going to bars.
"Today's expenses at this bar are on me, Tony Stark."
Tony's words ushered in what was probably the busiest time the bar had ever been since it opened.
Although that's what they said, Tony and Ethan only had a few drinks and didn't drink much.
To be honest, it was just because they were happy to reunite with their friend, and neither of them intended to drink much.
