Crossover Anime: Randomly Setting Up a Stall with Binchotan Charcoal

Before they had been chatting for long, they smelled the familiar aroma of shumai.

"Wow, they even have perfectly proportioned shumai today... and another one that smells just as good, is this a new variety?!" Tuanzi sniffed, her mouth practically watering.

"Suck~"

"Mom, the two of us can buy eight shumai today. We must try every flavor."

Tuanzi's mother nodded, swallowing hard. She didn't want to talk anymore. The smell was so strong that she couldn't move. What would happen if she ate it?

five minutes later.

"Brother Xia Tian, ​​give us two golden ratio shumai, two three-dimensional shumai, one each of glutinous rice and bamboo shoot jelly, and a new flavor, Brother Xia Tian, ​​what's the new flavor of shumai?"

"Wow, you can even smell that! Today's new flavor is jadeite shumai. Want two?"

“Okay, we’ll have eight for the two of us, Mom will pay.”

Tuanzi's Mom: "......"

She knew her little darling was treating her like an ATM, but Tuanzi's mom still quickly took out the money, confident that the shumai would be delicious.

While waiting to get her shumai, Tuanzi quickly spotted the lottery machine at the stall.

"Wait, Xia Tian, ​​what's this? A figurine ball lottery machine?"

"Yes, every customer can draw once; there's a surprise inside the ball."

Before she could finish speaking, Tuanzi had already started the machine, opened the blue ball that had fallen down, and found a food voucher! It could be used at 4 PM on Friday at the entrance of the General Affairs High School.

"Brother Xia Tian, ​​what is this?"

"I already said it's a surprise. You'll know when you come over after school tomorrow." Xia Tian smiled. He didn't expect Tuanzi to be so lucky. He had originally wanted to give her one, but it seemed he wouldn't need to.

"Would you like to eat these shumai now or take them to go?"

Eat it fresh.

Tuanzi's mom was impatient. The closer she got to the stall, the stronger the aroma of the shumai became. Tuanzi's mom didn't want to waste a second and couldn't wait to put the shumai in her mouth right away.

"Mom, you have to try it, it's delicious!"

After finishing speaking, Tuanzi couldn't wait to pick up the shumai and take a bite herself.

"Hmm, it's filled with green vegetables and glutinous rice, that's amazing!"

Tuanzi first tried the new flavor of jadeite shumai. The green outer skin was as thin as paper, the filling was emerald green, the color was like jade, and it was sweet and fragrant with sugar and oil.

Before you know it, you've finished a shumai in just two bites.

Next to me, Tuanzi's mom was eating the Golden Ratio Shumai, a perfect blend of four fillings. With one bite, several flavors seemed to combine and assault the taste buds, and the rich aroma of fat accompanied the chewing. The magical taste was simply divine.

Tuanzi's mother stared wide-eyed in shock at her daughter.

The question in his eyes was clearly 'How can it taste so good?'

"It's delicious."

Tuanzi raised her eyebrows proudly; she was the one who discovered this delicious food.

Tuanzi's mother reluctantly swallowed the shumai in her mouth and nodded firmly.

This is more than just delicious, it's... it's absolutely delicious.

Forgive her for being at a loss for words; she truly didn't know which word could perfectly describe this shumai.

This delicacy exists only in heaven; it is a rare treat to be tasted on earth.

"Yui, from now on, Mom will take you to school every morning!"

Tuanzi looked at her mother with complicated eyes. Her mother's intentions were too obvious. She had only given him a gift once in more than ten years. There was some maternal love, but not much.

"Mom, Xia Tian won't be setting up his stall in front of Zongwu High School next week. Are you sure he'll still take me to school?"

"What? Then I can only eat for one more day."

Tuanzi's mother was stunned; the news was like a bolt from the blue.

Tuanzi looked speechless. Sure enough, her mother only cared about the shumai. She said sadly, "No, today might be the last day. Brother Xiatian probably won't be coming tomorrow morning."

Tuanzi's mother stared blankly at the shumai in her hand, suddenly feeling that it didn't smell good... It couldn't possibly not smell good.

Four shumai per person—perhaps the last four shumai of my life—it's simply not enough.

Tuanzi's mother knew that the remaining three wouldn't be enough, so she licked her lips and looked at her beloved daughter.

Her undisguised gaze startled Tuanzi.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Tuanzi stammered, and when she saw her mother's gaze fixed on the shumai with a hostile look, she quickly covered it with her hand in fright.

"It's too greasy to eat shumai so early in the morning. Go buy a sandwich instead. Buy the best Zaomiao sandwich. Mom will give you the money."

Tuanzi's mother smiled warmly, trying her best to appear kind and loving, like a good mother.

Tuanzi: “…”

The next moment, realizing what was happening, she took off running.

"Security guard, help! Someone is stealing my shumai!"

"..."

Tuanzi's mother's face darkened.

We can't keep this daughter!

Knowing their relationship, Haruno was speechless.

The other students were stunned. Tuanzi had struck again! She truly was the legendary girl whose shumai was stolen!!!

Chapter 21 Mission Completed, Devil Fruit Acquired

Mrs. Yukinoshita watched the farce with a speechless expression. She forced herself to stay put and walked back to her car.

This short stretch of road, only a few dozen meters long, was an ordeal she had never experienced before.

Finally, the car door closed.

The lady quickly picked up a three-flavor egg shumai, and with one bite, the soup overflowed, with the chewy century egg, the delicious crab roe, and the egg skin.

She now understood why it was called Three-Flavor Egg Shumai, and why her eldest daughter had recommended it so highly.

good to eat!

It is so delicious!

With one bite, it felt as if countless vibrant lives burst open in her mouth. She had never imagined that umami could be prepared in this way. One shumai was even more delicious than tuna, and every bite made her tongue tremble with freshness.

This isn't just shumai; it brings an unparalleled enjoyment comparable to a moment of profound tranquility.

Ignoring the fact that she was the owner of the Tenshukaku villa, she was willing to get to know the owner and become friends with him just because of the delicious shumai.

Mrs. Yukinoshita hadn't finished eating the shumai in her hand when she immediately looked up and shouted at the driver.

"Kazami-san, hurry up and go down to line up to buy another serving of shumai, with three-flavor egg!"

Yang Nai was stunned by the clean and swift movements.

She had never seen her mother in such a hurry.

#@#

At the entrance of Zongwu High School

Hiratsuka Shizuka hurriedly and awkwardly parked the car.

She was late again today, as usual.

She thought she wouldn't be able to buy shumai today, but summer gave her a surprise: the price of shumai was doubled today.

However, as the line slowly moved forward and the number of steamers decreased one by one, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Half an hour later, it was finally Hiratsuka Shizuka's turn to get in line. The teacher stood in front of the stall, looking at the steamed dumplings in the steamer, hesitating which one to choose.

"You have no choice. There's just one of each kind of shumai left."

Hiratsuka Shizuka rolled her eyes at Xia Tian. What do you mean there was no choice? Choosing four out of five shumai is really hard. It's harder than taking the college entrance exam!

She was still struggling with the decision.

Summer has already packed all five shumai for her.

"???"

For a moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned. Did the boss have feelings for her? Should she just accept him? But that would be too hasty. Who would confess their feelings with shumai?

However, it's not impossible, it's just...

In an instant, a whole bunch of images flashed through Hiratsuka Shizuka's mind, and she looked up at Natsumi, only to find that Natsumi was also looking at her.

She was startled, her face flushed, and her heart pounded like a deer.

"One of them was paid for by Kobinchotan."

"..." Hiratsuka Shizuka glared fiercely at Natsume, thinking, "What a waste of my feelings!" But when she turned around, she saw Kobe no Tanjiro grinning at her.

That smile melted Hiratsuka Shizuka's heart; it was so incredibly healing.

"Thank you, Xiao Tan. Did you have a full breakfast? Shall we eat some shumai together?"

"Sister, my tummy is full. I had shumai for breakfast, and my brother said I shouldn't eat too much oily food these days."

"Oh, okay? Then I'll have dinner with you again next time."

After selling the last serving of shumai, Xia Tian couldn't wait to close up shop.

"We've sold out of shumai for today, everyone can go home now."

"No, boss, can't you have a few more?"

Seeing the disappointed looks in everyone's eyes, Xia Tian waved his hand.

We already have a lot of shumai today; it's impossible to make any more.

Setting up a stall and preparing goods, working three or four hours a day is already a lot. If you were a beast of burden before transmigrating, and you're still a beast of burden after transmigrating, then what's the point of transmigrating?

Although he enjoys seeing everyone's happy expressions while eating, he cannot sacrifice his own happiness.

"Huh? Is it really, really all gone?!"

"Boss, my classmate who died in a car accident just wanted to eat a shumai before he died. Please, boss, have mercy on him."

"No, boss! I'm already late for work because I'm queuing up. If I can't even buy shumai, what's the point of living!"

A gentle breeze blew by, making the scene even more desolate.

summer:"......"

No, not really.

He could only silently open all the steamers to display them.

"There was one that was pressed crookedly; I was planning to keep it for myself..."

"Give it to me, give it to me, thank you boss."

The man dropped 500 dan, picked up the shumai, and ran away, as if afraid someone would steal it.

The crowd looked at him with resentment, staring intently at Xia Tian, ​​hoping she could conjure up a few more.

In summer, he spread his hands.

This time it’s really gone.

The group of people were petrified, and it seemed as if crows were cawing and flying overhead.

"Charcoal, let's pack up and go home!"

#@#

After finally packing up the stall, Xia Tian rode his tricycle incredibly fast.

Sparks flew and lightning flashed all the way home, and it wasn't even 9:30 when I got back to the villa.

The moment Xia Tian got home, she promptly submitted the task.
