Crossover Anime: Randomly Setting Up a Stall with Binchotan Charcoal

A world that was both familiar and strange, incredibly lively and awe-inspiring, unfolded before Xiaoqian and her companion's eyes!

The two of them instinctively held their breath!

The streets resemble those of a post-apocalyptic city, but unlike the post-apocalyptic city, the greenery on both sides of the streets is lush and verdant under the warm sunlight.

What shocked the two was the people—in twos and threes, with cars coming and going on the road, and people everywhere, near and far.

Xiaoqian was deeply shocked!

They hadn't seen so many people in years.

Xiao You instinctively reached for her weapon. In the apocalypse, humans weren't all allies; people would kill each other for a little food.

When her hands met empty air, Xiao You was stunned for a moment.

Xia Tian patted her shoulder gently and said, "Don't be nervous, no one here will steal you."

At this moment, Xiaoqian caught up with him: "Boss, is this your world?"

"I guess so. Let's go." Xia Tian nodded calmly and pulled Xiao Binchotan towards the supermarket.

"Oh."

Xiaoqian quickly caught up with Xia Tian. She felt very uncomfortable in the crowd and only felt safe with Xia Tian. "Boss, what are those kids doing? Are they traveling too? Why is everyone carrying a bag?"

Xiao You, however, was more focused on something else: "What's that chubby kid holding? It's smoking, is it food?"

Summer glanced at it and said, "That's ice cream. It's nice to eat in this weather. Come on, it's my treat."

Xiao You's eyes lit up again, and she said with a silly grin, "How could I possibly accept that? How about I go back and get a box of bullets to trade with you?"

“…”

Summer was exasperated. "Ice cream only costs a few dollars! I'll treat you."

After walking a few steps, they took out four ice creams from a roadside shop, one for each person. Even Xiao Binchotan was curiously holding an ice cream, as she had never eaten one before.

"Thank you... Qianqian, this is so sweet and delicious."

The four of them ate as they walked.

Along the way, the two girls had a whole host of questions, such as what all the green plants were, what the convenience store was, what fried chicken was, where the fruit shop got so much food, and whether the song "Yellow Crane Tower ran away with its sister-in-law" was music...

He patiently explained things to the small binchotan charcoal he knew, and only looked to summer for things he didn't understand.

Having finally arrived at the supermarket, Xiao You's eyes widened once again.

All I could see was food!

This truly is paradise!

Chapter 29: There are differences in shumai, and so are people.

the other side,

Let's rewind to 8 a.m.

At the entrance of Zongwu High School, students eagerly looked towards the location of the shumai stall.

Even though Boss Xia said he wouldn't be coming this week, what if he does?

What if Boss Xia sees business is doing well and can't bear to part with everyone? What if Boss Xia can't bear to part with the adorable Tuanzi-senpai and Yukinoshita-senpai?

Everyone was astonished at that glance.

Yes, there really was a shumai stall right there.

"Brother Xia Tian...it's Auntie."

Tuanzi ran over excitedly, but instead of seeing Xia Tian, ​​she saw Uncle Milk and his wife.

"Uncle, you're setting up two stalls today, and you're even selling shumai?!"

Tuanzi was stunned. Had Uncle Milk changed careers because he saw that Brother Xia's business was doing well? ...Well, not exactly changed careers, he was just taking on a side job.

Wow, this uncle has a sharp business mind! He even dragged his pregnant wife out to make money. I just wonder if his shumai is as good as Xia Tian's.

The middle-aged man recognized Tuanzi; she was a regular customer of Boss Xia, the legendary young girl. He gave her an awkward but polite smile. "Young lady, would you like some shumai?"

"Uh, have one."

"300 Dan."

Tuanzi paused in her payment, feeling a sudden urge to not buy it. It seemed like Xia Tian had brainwashed her; these cheap shumai didn't look very appetizing.

The other students also stopped when they heard the price, staring at Tuanzi expectantly, wanting to see her reaction.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tuanzi seemed to be back in the scene of buying shumai for the first time. She resisted the urge to run away and took a bite of shumai amidst everyone's anticipation.

"..."

She left silently, her silence speaking volumes.

The students watching looked disappointed, but a few, refusing to believe it, went and bought one themselves.

"How is it? Delicious, isn't it?"

Uncle Milk asked expectantly, "These are high-quality goods I sourced; each one costs 50 Dan to make. Although the taste isn't quite as good as Boss Xia's, they're still quite delicious."

The students ate one bite at a time without making a sound.

It's edible, but just average, very average.

These shumai look like they've been dead for a long time before being steamed; they're completely machine-made products, devoid of any soul.

If you haven't tried Boss Xia's shumai, this shumai is actually quite good, but everything is relative. The fact that people can swallow this shumai on the spot shows that they are well-mannered and don't want to waste food.

They exchanged glances, and then, without a word, they all left.

"???"

Uncle Milk almost cried when he saw this.

"Oh no, it looks like this batch of shumai is stuck with us."

Milk Uncle's wife looked at her husband speechlessly. "So this is what you meant by 'foolish people with too much money, come quick'? Buying such expensive shumai. I think you're the fool."

Besides, how can you do business like this without saying a word? You sold so much milk last week, I thought you'd finally figured it out, but you're still the same old deadbeat.

"Get out of the way. I'll do it."

"Selling shumai! Freshly baked shumai, premium Fukushima shumai, 300 yen each."

And wouldn't you know it, her shout actually attracted a few office workers passing by.

They also called over a student.

Hachiman Hikigaya, a member of the Service Club.

Having no friends, he had only heard that there were delicious shumai at the school gate, but he had never bought any, and he didn't know who sold the shumai.

Seeing that the usual long queues had disappeared today, he assumed that the shumai had sold out again.

But I was startled when I heard "Yo-ho".

"Boss, three shumai, please."

"okay."

After taking a bite, Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes lit up; this shumai was indeed delicious.

Just then, Yukino and Hachiman walked over.

Seeing the shumai stall was a pleasant surprise; I thought it was open again this week.

Upon closer inspection, wasn't that the milkman from next door?

"Yukinoshita-kun, Hiratsuka-sensei, come quick! Don't you like shumai? It's a real treat that we don't have to wait in line today."

Hearing his call, Yukino came over.

Without even trying it, just by smelling it, you can tell it's nowhere near as good as Boss Xia's shumai.

Asking about the price again, it's 300 Dan. It seems the owner is quite self-aware; it looks cheap, so it probably doesn't taste cheap either.

Having learned what had happened, Yukino glanced at the stall owner, then at Hachiman Hikigaya.

His eyes were filled with sympathy. This child had never eaten anything delicious before, yet he was eating this 300-dan food so heartily.

Hiratsuka Shizuka patted Hachiman Hikigaya's shoulder silently. She had originally thought highly of Hachiman Hikigaya and Yukino, but now it seemed she had acted rashly.

The idea of ​​marrying someone of equal social standing still holds true; different perspectives can lead to disagreements even over something as simple as eating shumai. While Yukino ate the 300-yen shumai with greater relish than Hachiman Hikigaya, she didn't even glance at it.

Simple problems reveal the true nature of things; even when people are together, they can be overwhelmed by trivial matters.

This child may be good at dating with his gentleness and enthusiasm, but that's far from enough for marriage. Leaving aside money, without shared interests, the relationship is unlikely to last.

In comparison, Summer Boss surpasses Hachiman in every aspect.

No wonder Yukino was moved.

I was here first, so why am I forced to compete with students?

Chapter 30 Little Binchotan Rides a Little Train

In the mall,

Xiao You was like a mouse that had entered a rice bin; she wanted everything she saw. In the end, she even bought a double-decker stainless steel bed, saying she wanted to sleep in the bunk bed with Xiao Qian.

When the store clerks asked for the delivery address, they all looked like they were questioning their existence. Living in a villa and sleeping in a double-decker stainless steel bed?

Are you serious? Do rich people really have such peculiar hobbies?

Summer reluctantly confirmed the information again and again before leading the three of them out of the supermarket.

"Charcoal, what do you want to buy? Your brother will buy it for you."

"No need, brother, I don't need anything."

Xiao Binchotan shook her head. Although she didn't buy anything, she still had a great time shopping.

There were so many novel things in the mall that it was dazzling to look at, which was quite interesting for the little one.

Summer stroked the little charcoal boy's head. The little guy was still so sensible, so sensible that it broke your heart.

"Let's buy some groceries and head back. What would you like to eat tonight?"

Little Binchotan stretched out his little hand and touched his tummy. "Brother, I'm not hungry yet. Can I just buy some vegetables?"

Xia Tian nodded: "Okay, we'll eat water spinach again?"

"Mmm~" Little Binchotan had no objections; he could eat whatever he wanted in the summer.

"Brother, how about we buy some green peppers too? I just saw there was a discount."

"Green peppers are bitter and spicy, can you accept that?"

"Mmm, I've tried it. It's not as bitter as bracken fern, and the green peppers are delicious."

Summer is so happy! This little guy is so easy to raise. If you ever run into some potato-headed kid in the future, you probably won't be able to be friends.

"Okay, I'll make stir-fried green peppers and pork tonight."

The young charcoal carrier nodded, "Mm-hmm~"

Xiao You and Xiao Qian are fine as long as they have food. Even if you ask them what they want to eat, none of them recognize any vegetables.

After returning to the vegetable section to buy groceries, as they walked out the door, Xiao Binchotan pointed with his little finger and asked, "Brother, is that a car too?"

In the summer, following the direction the little guy was looking, a small train was coming towards them, the kind with a small wooden horse seat on top.

Xiao Binchotan saw children being held by their parents and riding on his back.

A hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

"Charcoal, want to play?"

Xiao Beichangtan hesitated for a moment, "Brother, isn't this very expensive?"

Jing's four-wheeled car is much more expensive than her brother's; this car has so many wheels...

Her eyes sparkled with anticipation and curiosity, but she still shook her head.

Summer gently ruffled her hair. "It's cheap to sit down. I'll show you."
