Daily life [Zhongyingmei]

"No." Tony denied without hesitation.

Before Benny felt relieved, Tony Stark tossed the mango in his hand very unprincipledly, and said with a casual smile, "Is there anyone with the last name Stark? I'm not married yet. .”

"Then... the one whose surname can't be Stark is your illegitimate child?" Benny asked with difficulty, his eyes widened slightly, as if he realized for the first time that there is such a creature in the world, "You, you have ?"

Tony looked down, didn't intend to say too much to the child, shrugged vaguely and replied indifferently: "Since you also know that I am a famous playboy, how can I control everyone who is with me?" women don't give birth secretly."

Although he has taken very strict precautions so far, he can't guarantee that he will be 100% protected.In case his illegitimate son is really wandering outside, and the child's mother hides it to death, and only tells him when he grows up and brings him back, Tony has no choice.

He was going to blur the topic, but Benny got serious, and continued to ask in shock and bewilderment: "...how do you rich people deal with illegitimate children?"

"Children, don't think too much about this kind of question." Tony only thought that he was interested in this topic, folded his arms and warned, but he also answered Benny's words tolerantly, taking it as the meaning of easing the relationship between the two , "I don't know about others, Bruce Wayne is sitting there. If I say... just give a sum of money and it will be settled. I can't give what their mother wants."

When Stark said the last sentence, there was a slight irony in his still smiling tone.

Benny lowered his eyes, his expression became a little gloomy, and he fell into silence again: "..."

Despite his young age, he understood what Stark was saying.Not for money, the mothers of the illegitimate children must be for the position of 'Mrs. Stark'.

What about him?

His mom... probably that lady named Pepper Potts, Stark's assistant, what did she think?

Would she abandon this worthless child because Benny's existence didn't make her get what she wanted?Would Tony Stark care about his illegitimate child?No, he didn't care, so assuming Benny was dumped, he wouldn't bother?

This seems to be true.Judging by Stark's attitude, he wished not to have an illegitimate child.

Benny lowered his head expressionlessly.

The two words "illegitimate child" and "abandoned" felt a slight prickling pain in his heart... He couldn't tell which of the two hurt him more.

Obviously looking at the dream... At that time Stark seemed to like him very much.Now, has Stark even forgotten his name?But what happened to 'Benedict' being the name Mister Rogers gave this time?

If you have to guess, Captain America and Stark's father are good friends, maybe he knows something, or... all of this is Benny's cranky imagination.

The little boy suddenly sighed heavily, looking a bit old-fashioned.

Can't figure it out, he doesn't plan to think about it anymore.

No matter how much he guessed, it was not as true as the evidence. He wanted to know who his biological parents were, and he could find out by testing the parent-child relationship.The Pepper Potts genes are tough to deal with, but Tony Stark himself is here and gets his hair easily.Now the most worrying question for Benny is whether they can be rescued from the desert island in the future... so that he can secretly do a paternity test.

In order not to make Stark suspicious, Benny cautiously went to Bruce Wayne who was cooking, and asked the same question again.

"Illegitimate child?" Wayne paused his hand looking after the fire, as if he had thought of something, his tone was still calm, and he gave almost the same answer, with the sloppy and inattentiveness unique to the rich second generation in his words, "Ordinary Take care of them, I already have adopted sons."

——The meaning in his words is even more astonishing.Bruce Wayne is closer to adopted children than to illegitimate children.

This is also certain, the adopted son I choose is better than the illegitimate son who jumps out unprepared and has ulterior motives to fight for the family property, right?

Benny collected the attitudes of the two rich men towards their illegitimate children, and his heart sank. He felt that his mood was even worse.

Bruce Wayne took a few more glances at the boy, and the little guy fell into deep thought, as if he was completely troubled by the topic of 'illegitimate children', so the low-key Wayne interrupted his thoughts indiscriminately: "Let them come here Well, dinner is almost ready."

Benny came back to his senses, nodded and left.

Within a few minutes, Peter Parker, Tony Stark and Steve Rogers all surrounded.Peter even covered his stomach, his tone cheerful and impatient: "Is it finally time to eat? God—I'm almost starving, and I can smell the fragrance from here from afar. Mr. Wayne, what are we going to eat today?"

"Coconut stewed crab." Bruce Wayne answered with satisfaction.

In response, he lifted the top of a row of coconuts in front of him, and the faintly alluring fragrance suddenly increased several times. Peter couldn't help but took a deep breath.

Divide the crab meat of the two bread crabs into five equal portions, and put the crab shells and claws into a coconut with a small opening.The crab meat is stewed with coconut meat and natural coconut milk, which not only retains the freshness of the crab meat, but also brings the sweetness of coconut milk in the meat, which is very delicious.

"Are we getting enough of this?" Steve questioned.

The weight of one coconut per person is definitely not enough to satisfy the appetite of several adult men, um, it is not enough for a teenager who is growing up.

"Of course." Bruce Wayne said calmly.

"Mr. Parker, go pick some of the largest palm leaves, the kind you picked yesterday, without branches." Wayne made a decision, and took out the two remaining hornbills from yesterday from the bag.

They look like tropical birds at first glance. Their feathers are colorful and very bright. The wide and long pointed beaks of the two birds are also orange-red. They are fat and fleshy.Wayne went to the place where the seafood was cooked yesterday to remove the feathers and dispose of the internal organs, leaving only two bare birds.

Then he smeared the bird's belly with ginger slices, pepper, and other seasonings, and then put wild potato pieces, wild plantain pseudostems, and the remaining wild vegetable leaves together with the six or seven peeled mangoes that Stark brought back. Stuffed to the brim with bird belly, served as vegetables.Finally, wrap a layer of palm leaves on the outside, go to the ground in the jungle to dig a large handful of soil, mix it with water, and paste it outside, wrapping it into two mud balls.

"This is..." Steve hesitated as he watched from the side.

"This is an oriental way of eating, called flower chicken." When Bruce Wayne talked about the name of this dish, the Chinese characters used were round and round. He paused and explained, "It roughly translates to 'beggar's chicken' , now what we do is calling flowers and birds.”

"The beggar's chicken? That's an interesting name!" Peter wanted to break his head but didn't understand it, but this didn't stop him from liking this interesting approach. He smiled expectantly, his light brown eyes were bright, and he was full of Wayne. It is confidence, "Oriental cooking is very interesting."

"This kind of hornbill has a lot of fat on it. I originally planned to keep one for refining oil in the afternoon. Coconut oil and fish oil are just transitional and can't stand the use, but now..." Bruce Wayne's voice was low and calm Paused for a moment, "Let's find new prey."

——Who made their group hungry?Several people in this team eat a lot.

He sat back in the shade and began to stir the fire under the flagstones with a branch.Since the first fire was raised yesterday, he has been careful not to extinguish the fire in several places, and has been adding some branches and dead leaves to it from time to time at night to keep the fire at a low level.So today, Bruce Wayne briefly poked the ashes and unburnt dead leaves a few times, and the flames here burst into flames again.

There is no need to let the row of coconut stewed crab make room at all.

Wayne directly put the two mud-wrapped birds into the fire, picked a few taro and threw them in, adjusted the fire and put down the coconut stewed crab, announcing that dinner was ready.

"Our breakfast is so rich!" Peter sighed sincerely.

"Today I still plan to stay in the camp and record the length of the pole shadow." Bruce Wayne said his thoughts, and his eyes glanced at the bare stick standing upright on the beach, "In addition to what was recorded yesterday, add After it is complete, we can calculate the approximate location here based on the time zone.”

"...Huh?" Benny finally understood.

Is this the ancient way of measuring time to determine the time zone, thereby determining the geographical location?

Recording pole shadow data is a boring technical job, and everyone has no objection, even Tony Stark, who is not dealing with Wayne, said nothing.The five people waited for the "Ballery and Bird" to be ready, and ate two birds together.

Peter generously contributed his sandwiches and orange juice for everyone to eat, and the grapes were all eaten yesterday.Benny also contributed his remaining chocolate balls—the temperature was too high, and the balls had already become irregular shapes wrapped in tinfoil.

Tony Stark was lucky, he could drink orange juice with the wine glass he brought, and others could only use yesterday's coconut shell.Benny hesitated for a long time, but still pushed the plate they brought to Steve with a look of disgust.

After a full breakfast, the group sat in the camp for a while while searching for prey for lunch.

Tony Stark was so bored that he took a pile of irregular stone flakes and placed them on a flat ground to form a stack—these are all incomplete products left over from making stone knives.He not only played by himself, but also invited others to join him with great interest.

"No." Steve declined politely, with deep melancholy in his blue eyes, "I want to rest for a while, so I'll find a high place to see the overall situation of the island. Today's weather is not as hot as yesterday. It's dull and there's not much sunshine... I guess it's going to rain tonight or tomorrow."

He hadn't given up the idea of ​​finding a better place to set up camp, and he was worried about the huts made of branches and dismantled armchair frames, worrying that they wouldn't last a few days if it rained continuously.

"I'll go with you," said Benny thoughtfully.

He also ignores Tony Stark's words, which leads to Stark and Peter Parker, Bruce Wayne playing to pass the time.

Because Benny doesn't want to see Tony Stark at all now.

After guessing, his favorability value for Stark couldn't help but fell directly below the lower limit.

If he wants to get it back... I'm afraid he will have to wait for the paternity test to confirm that he has nothing to do with Tony Stark, and everything is just his wild imagination.
