Crossover Anime: Randomly Setting Up a Stall with Binchotan Charcoal

She was the kindest person to her, besides her mother-in-law and brother.

Mr. Wubamega,

I found a job and now I live with my boss in a city called Tokyo.

My boss is a really nice guy. He doesn't want me to call him boss; he wants me to call him brother.

My brother is a small vendor. We don't have a storefront. Every day, from Monday to Friday, my brother rides a tricycle to the school to set up his stall.

We sell shumai, and I sometimes watch the fire and sometimes serve customers.

The guests here are all very nice, they just like to pat my head. I also met Shizuka-nee, Yukinoshita-nee, and Dango-nee here. Dango-nee's real name is Yui-hama, but my brother always calls her Dango.

Sister Jing helped me mend my quilt, and now my little quilt has a Pukashu pattern, it looks so pretty.

My sister Yukinoshita treated me to shumai, although I later shared half with my sister Shizuka. My brother's shumai is the best in the universe, but it's a bit expensive, costing 500 dan each. In town, I would have to work a whole day to afford one.

Oh, and my brother also taught me how to wrap shumai. I'm really good at it; he even praised me for being skillful. Wrapping shumai is super easy; you just wrap and pinch it.

We also have a dog now. My brother said that my sister Tuanzi helped him choose it, and I named the dog Fanwan (Rice Bowl).

His rice bowl is incredibly powerful; he can perform Pukashu flying kicks, Pukashu spinning, and Pukashu rolling.

It's plump and round, just like my rice bowl, round and full.

As he wrote this, Xiao Binchotan patted his little belly.

Mr. Wuba Meijia, at my brother's place, I eat my fill every day. I have three meals of white rice a day, and vegetables and meat that are so delicious I could swallow my tongue. Once I even dreamed that my grandmother couldn't carry me anymore.

I still think about my mother-in-law often.

My mother-in-law told me to be strong and not to cry. Little Binchotan is obedient. I hope that one day my mother-in-law will come back to see Little Binchotan.

My mother-in-law taught me how to do laundry, cook, and find a job, which is why I was able to work for my brother. I'm doing well now, but I don't know when my mother-in-law will come back.

When my mother-in-law comes back, I'm going to give her some shumai.

There's also Mapo Tofu, Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee, Stir-fried Water Spinach... so many delicious dishes! I can learn them from my brother. He said he'll teach me all of them when I grow up.

As I wrote,

Little Binchotan shook his big head, gave a forced smile, and secretly wiped away the tears in his eyes with his small hand, as if afraid that others would find out.

That's all for today.

Xiao Binchotan got up and walked to the door of the cabin, beckoning the eagle that delivered the message, and offered it a small apple as payment.

Turning back inside, Xia Tian was still fast asleep. Xiao Binchotan smiled sweetly, and suddenly she felt less sad.

Quietly approaching her brother, Xiao Binchangtan hugged Xia Tian's arm and lay down obediently.

As she drifted off to sleep, she felt a warm embrace enveloping her, just like when her mother-in-law was there, filling her with a sense of peace.

In her dream, she had so much to say to her mother-in-law.

Grandma, don't worry, Xiao Tan is doing very well now.

Mother-in-law, Xiao Tan is working in the city now!

Grandma, Xiao Tan has become very capable; he can start a fire and cook.

Grandma, Xiao Tan has met a very nice older brother.

Grandma, Xiaotan is living with her brother now.

Grandma... Xiaotan misses you!

Chapter 26 New Missions and Rewards

Sunday.

9pm,

Summer, who had been staying home for two days, turned off the TV.

Turning around, he carried the drowsy, dozing Binchotan back to his room to sleep, then covered him with a Pukashu blanket. Summer returned to the sofa and scrolled through her phone.

Several hours passed quickly.

After midnight, the system's tasks refreshed on time.

Summer opened her eyes wide and scanned the task panel at a glance.

This week's task: Sell 1000 steamed buns in Anding District. (For special target customers, ingredients can be purchased from a supermarket through special supply channels.)

[Mission Reward: A set of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques and a Qi Cluster of the Old Celestial Master Level]

[Accept Task/Reject Task]

summer:???

where?

Anteiku, even ghouls have appeared, huh?

A week ago, Xia Tian would have definitely given up on this mission, but now that he's eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, even a mere ghoul can't do anything to him if he just stands there and lets them hit him.

The reward is eight extraordinary skills, including the Dual-Handed Technique, the Heavenly Talisman, the Feng Hou Qi Men, and eight other unique skills. It's impossible not to be envious.

Let alone the Eight Extraordinary Skills, even just having one Dual-Handed Technique wouldn't be enough to withstand the summer heat.

The Dual-Handed Technique is an amazing skill that's said to be able to cure all diseases. I was even thinking of using my Devil Fruit ability to gain a medical skill the other day, but I didn't expect there to be something even better.

It's just setting up a stall in Anding District, isn't it?

With the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in his body, he didn't believe that ghouls could harm him.

After clicking to accept the task, Xia Tian happily went back to her room to sleep.

#@#

"Brother, wake up."

The first rays of sunlight shone into the cabin in the early morning, and the small charcoal-brand alarm clock woke Xia Tian right on time.

"Good morning, Charcoal."

"Brother, I'm going to wash the rice. How much should I cook today?"

"Wait, we're not having porridge for breakfast today."

"Brother, are we out of rice?" Little Tan's face instantly tensed up.

"Today we're having soy milk and fried dough sticks. Have you ever had fried dough sticks with charcoal filling?"

Little Binchotan shook his head, but everything his brother made was delicious, so he went to brush his teeth and wash his face with anticipation.

wow~

Open the kitchen window to let in natural light.

In the summer, she checked the so-called special-supply ingredients listed in the system.

The golden soybeans I soaked last night were each the size of a lychee. The oil, salt, and seasonings were different from those I bought at the supermarket. I tried them one by one in the summer and now I know what I'm doing.

The tastes are slightly different, but the properties are largely the same.

The first step in making stinky tofu is naturally to have tofu.

Soak soybeans, grind soybeans, filter soybean pulp, boil soybean milk, add coagulant, and press into shape.

In general, the process of making tofu involves soaking soybeans in water to soften them, then pressing them to extract soy milk, and finally adding coagulants (such as glucono delta-lactone, gypsum, etc.) to coagulate the soy milk into tofu.

Pressing and shaping requires waiting.

In the summer, I would take some time to knead dough and fry dough sticks.

"System, please explain the origin of these ingredients."

The system displayed the following text: "The full name of soybeans is Gem Soybeans, which come from the Gourmet Continent. The other ingredients are the same. The ingredients from the Gourmet Continent are rich in gourmet factors, which can be effectively absorbed by the human body, and ghouls are no exception."

Awesome.

I knew before that I could buy fresh, out-of-season ingredients in the system store, but I never imagined that I could buy ingredients from another world as well.

Summer excitedly browsed the ingredient list, intending to buy some for lunch.

After seeing that a single almond cabbage (below level 1) costs 10000 Dan and 100g of beef costs 20000 Dan, the system quietly shut down.

Poor people don't deserve to eat the food from the Gourmet Continent. Anyway, Little Chef's cooking skills are all about turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, pursuing simple food and simple happiness.

This is the only way a poor guy can console himself. He really has no money in the summer. The ingredients in the system are expensive to begin with, and the profit from selling shumai is only 100 dan.

I only earned 10 Dan in a week, and almost all of it went into making the Cosmic Shumai by buying a pig.

I'm so stupid, really.

Summer regretted it so much she wanted to slap herself. Damn it, she wouldn't be so generous in the future. What was with all the giveaways she organized to make everyone happy? Yukino, Yui, Hachiman... she really was blinded by lust.

Being poor, I could only silently use the leftover flour from making shumai last week to make fried dough sticks.

"Charcoal, time to eat."

"it is good."

Even without summer's prompting, the little guy, sitting on a small stool by the kitchen door watching his older brother busy at work, could already smell the aroma of breakfast.

Little Binchotan happily sat down in her seat, holding her new rice bowl, looking at the soy milk and fried dough sticks on the table, at a loss.

She had never seen these things before.

"Little Charcoal, have a taste!"

Summer handed a fried dough stick to Xiao Binchotan, then ate one herself.

"Thank you, brother~~"

She reached out her little hand to take the fried dough stick, took a bite just like her brother, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Delicious! Crispy and crunchy."

In the summer, I would put soy milk in her small bowl, and when the temperature was just right, I would add a spoonful of sugar.

Placed in front of the small binchotan charcoal, it says, "Eat fried dough sticks with soy milk, be careful not to burn yourself."

Xiao Binchotan nodded, picked up the soy milk and carefully took a sip, his eyes narrowing into slits with delight.

"It's sweet~"

As he spoke, the little guy took another sip and then took another bite of the fried dough stick.

Two delicious meals, double the happiness, the little one was overjoyed.

Soy milk was delicious, and fried dough sticks were tasty; these foods, which she had never tried before, instantly won over her taste buds. Besides rice, she also developed a liking for new foods.

When Xia Tian handed over the second fried dough stick, Xiao Binchotan gently shook his head, reached out and touched his little belly, "Brother, my tummy is full!"

Xia Tian smiled and said, "It's good that you're full. Don't overeat and get a stomachache."

"Then I'll go wash the dishes, brother~"

"Wait, we'll wash the dishes later. Let's hire two more assistants first."

Looking at the messy kitchen, Xia Tian felt a headache coming on. Grinding tofu had already made his back ache, and he hadn't even finished half of the stinky tofu. He felt like he was about to sell out if he didn't attract any customers soon.

That's what he thought last week. Xiao Binchotan is very hardworking, but because of her height, she can't help with most of the work in the kitchen.

"System, hire two more people."

"Meals included. Salary 60000 Danish dollars per person."

"An interview is required."

This summer, I learned my lesson and dared not cover it up again. The bedroom already has one wall missing, and if another house were to be incorporated into it, it would collapse.

Chapter 27 New Employee, The Girl Never Travels

"Hello..."

Summer silently ended her greeting.

Around noon, a white light emanated from the guest room, and two girls who appeared to be quite unfriendly pushed open the closet door came out.

An old-fashioned Sakazuki rifle hesitated before pointing at Xia Tian's head.
