Crossover Anime: Randomly Setting Up a Stall with Binchotan Charcoal

Little Binchotan reluctantly got up from Xia Tian's arms and followed him closely, brushing his teeth and washing his face together, his eyes always on his older brother.

In the summer, she would knead dough in the kitchen while her dog obediently watched from the side.

"Brother, are we still selling shumai today?"

"Today it's your little sisters Xiaoyou and Xiaoqian going to sell, let's cheer them on."

"OK!"

(Thank you all for your support, including flowers, encouragement for updates, monthly tickets, and rewards. There are too many people to list them all, but the author is extremely grateful!)

Chapter 41 A Peculiar Breakfast, Little You Sets Up a Stall

Boss, is it time to eat?

After washing up, Xiao You and Xiao Qian immediately sat obediently at the dining table, looking expectantly towards the kitchen.

Eating the boss's food every day is like opening a blind box; it's always delicious, so delicious, so incredibly delicious.

"Charcoal, take this dish out, we can eat now."

Summer chuckled. The little one hadn't recovered from her nightmare yet, so she gave her a jolt.

Little Binchotan was taken aback when he saw what the vegetables looked like. "Brother, are these grass roots vegetables too? Shouldn't we stir-fry them?"

"Charcoal, this can be eaten raw in a cold salad, it's delicious, you should try it, Ultraman Tiga doesn't lie."

Summer brought the food to the table, and after sitting down, she first put a piece of food on the little guy's plate. The dish was long and thin, and with the addition of sesame oil, it smelled intoxicating.

"Thank you, brother."

Xiao Binchangtan, unsuspecting, happily picked up a piece and ate it.

Xiao You and Xiao Qian looked on expectantly, wondering if the dish was delicious, really delicious, or just really delicious.

who knows,

The next second, Xiao Binchotan's expression changed, and his eyes widened.

The healing smile vanished, replaced by a bewildered expression. Was that food in her mouth? She bit down uncertainly, her brows furrowing even deeper.

With impeccable manners, Xiao Binchotan swallowed the food in his mouth, his gaze towards Summer filled with resentment.

"Tiga, you're lying."

"Little Charcoal, what does it taste like?"

Xiao You asked anxiously.

"It smells so fishy!"

Xiao Binchotan said pitifully, quickly shoveling down three mouthfuls of porridge to suppress the taste.

"Hehe, this is exactly the effect I wanted."

Summer's quiet joy.

This dish is none other than the famous houttuynia cordata, which is rarely accepted even by locals, let alone this little cherry blossom.

The little guy rarely eats seafood, so he's definitely not used to the fishy smell this is his first time trying it.

When you look like you're questioning the meaning of life, you don't have time to be sad.

"Fishy! Is it the taste of eating fish?"

Xiao You's eyes lit up. Before Xia Tian could persuade her, she grabbed a large mouthful with her chopsticks and eagerly put it into her mouth.

Little Binchotan looked at her like she was looking at a warrior. Little Sister You is so fierce. She used to think that she was not picky about food and could eat anything, but the dishes in front of her taught the little guy a lesson.

"Good job!"

"This dish is absolutely delicious!"

The moment after chewing, Xiao You's eyes lit up like light bulbs, and she gave a thumbs up on the spot.

The young Binchotan was completely dumbfounded.

No, this dish is actually delicious?

Did Ultraman Tiga not lie?

"Let me try it!"

Eager to try, Xiaoqian also picked up her chopsticks.

"Huh?? Cough cough cough! Waaaaah..."

Xiaoqian's behavior was quite exaggerated, changing three times in a second, showing a painful expression on her face, and crying immediately after choking on something.

"Sister Xiaoqian, have some water!"

Little Binchotan has a good eye; that's more like it. Little Sister Qian's reaction is normal; the dish must be spoiled.

"Haha, it seems that only Xiaoyou and I can enjoy such delicious food. Tantan and Xiaoqian, you guys eat the pickled vegetables."

Summer smiled, happily picking up the food and eating it, her expression one of enjoyment, just like Xiao You's.

"My brother is wicked."

Little Binchotan seemed to have noticed Xia Tian's wicked sense of humor. He picked up a piece of pickled mustard greens and took a big bite, then glared angrily at the two of them eating houttuynia cordata.

#@#

Sobu High School.

Tuanzi skipped and hopped to school. In the morning, she asked Xia Tian Ge on Line if he was picking up his stall. Although Xia Tian Ge still didn't tell her, he said there would be a surprise this morning.

Upon arriving at the school gate, Tuanzi instinctively searched for a familiar figure.

Sure enough, a food cart selling wheat cakes was parked at the entrance.

The style is exactly the same as Summer's, it's not a copy of Uncle Milk's.

"What? It's not Brother Xia Tian."

Upon entering, Tuanzi was disappointed. It wasn't that no one had come to sell shumai the past two days, but the taste was nowhere near as good as Xia Tian Ge's. They would only be there for a day before slinking away.

But as she turned to enter the school, Yukinoshita walked over and immediately spotted Chiyo and Yui at the entrance with their tricycle, and was momentarily stunned.

When Yui saw Yukinoshita, she couldn't help but greet her: "Hey, hello, Yukinoshita-kun, good morning."

Good morning, Tuanzi.

The nickname "Tuanzi" was given to her by Xia Tian.

Yukinoshita smiled kindly and said, "Dumpling, are you here to buy shumai too?"

"It's not like Xia Tian's shumai is made by him, I'm not buying it," Tuanzi shook her head. "That darn Xia Tian just wouldn't tell me where he sets up his stall?"

"Um... it's better if you don't know," Yukino thought to herself, her expression somewhat helpless.

"Who told you this wasn't made by Xia Jun? Don't you recognize this familiar taste?"

"Huh???" Tuanzi tilted her head hesitantly, then suddenly gasped, her face filled with disbelief. Could this be...?

Yukino gave her an affirmative look, then turned to Chi and Yu and said, "Chi and Yu, these are shumai made by your boss, right? Give me four."

Xiaoqian nodded and said enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, our boss got up very early, and the shumai are all freshly made. Here are four shumai for you."

"it is good!"

Yukino paid for her shumai and asked with concern, "How was business this morning?"

"It's not open for business yet." Xiao You glanced at the pedestrians at the school gate, her expression somewhat helpless. Why is no one buying such delicious food?

"Don't worry," Yukino comforted her. "A couple of days ago, someone poisoned the food and sold really bad shumai. That's why everyone misunderstood you. I'll have Yui promote it later, and we'll sell out these shumai quickly."

"Okay... Hmm? Yukino, something's wrong with you."

The little girl, belatedly realizing what was happening, exclaimed, "How do you know them? And why do you call Xia Tian so affectionately?"

Yukino blushed. "I ran into some trouble yesterday, and Summer helped me out... I'll tell you the details later. You have a lot of friends, so hurry up and share the good news about the shumai with them."

Yui looked at Yukino with a puzzled expression, feeling that Yukino seemed to have changed after just one day. But she couldn't quite put her finger on what had changed, and after a long pause, she nodded helplessly.

"How could Brother Xia's shumai not sell? I'll buy four myself."

While the packaging was being prepared, she had already sent the information to her class, knowing that the news would soon spread throughout the entire school.

Sure enough, before they had even finished the four shumai, countless students rushed out from inside and outside the campus.

"Where, where is Boss Xia's delicious shumai?"

"I've been craving these perfectly proportioned shumai so much, I want to buy ten!"

"Three days, three whole days without eating shumai, do you know how I survived?"

The scene, resembling a zombie siege, terrified Xiaoqian.

The two instinctively reached for their guns to defend themselves, but when they missed, their hearts sank. They forgot that the guns had been confiscated by the shopkeeper, but the scene they had imagined did not appear before their eyes.

After a long silence, they exchanged a wary glance. It turned out they had come to buy shumai; they were truly terrified.

"Everyone line up, there are a hundred shumai, there are a hundred of them."

Chapter 42 Clever Little You Loves to Eat Saury

Xiao You quickly and warmly welcomed them.

Those are all easy targets!

At first, she didn't quite understand why she was selling food for money, but Xiao Binchotan told her that 600 dan could buy a five-jin bag of rice.

The four of them only eat one pound of rice per meal, and the profit from the shumai is half of that, which means that selling one shumai is almost enough to cover their food expenses for a day.

To her, these customers were nothing short of easy prey.

"Damn, only a hundred shumai? How can that be enough? I want ten three-egg shumai."

"Get lost! Hey, have some decency! There are over 100 available, and you only want 10? There's a purchase limit! Same old rules for ladies, purchase limits apply!"

"Yes, yes, yes, before, there was a limit of 6 per purchase for every 200 available, now there's a limit of 4 per purchase for every 100 or so available."

Xiao You was almost frightened when she saw the crowd so excited again, and she was speechless when she heard their demands.

"Okay, each person can buy a maximum of 4. Today we have three-flavor egg omelets and golden ratio shumai."

In less than half an hour,

All 100 shumai were sold out.

Xiaoqian sat in the driver's seat of the tricycle counting money, with Xiaoyou sitting next to her like a guardian deity.

The milkman next door, whom Xiao You was wary of, sat uncomfortably at his stall. His lips twitched. Was it really worth it for such a small amount of money? Would I rob a little girl?

"I received 86000 dan in paper money and 7000 dan in coins. Today I earned a total of 93000 dan." Xiaoqian finally finished counting the pile of change and looked up at Xiaoyou who was holding the coins.

"Xiao Qian, you're so quick at calculating!" Xiao You's eyes gleamed. "The boss said we get a 10% cut of the net profit. Xiao Qian, calculate how much that is."

"Ah."

"We bought the flour from the supermarket; the cost was 200 Dan per pound. Then there's pork, vegetables, crab eggs, vegetable oil... All the costs add up, and one Three-Flavor Egg Shumai makes a net profit of 223 Dan, and one Golden Ratio Shumai makes a net profit of 260 Dan..."

"Wait, speak slowly." Xiao You's head was spinning. "Just tell us how much we can get today..."

"..."

Xiao Qian looked at her helplessly, "Our combined commission is 7200 pills."

7200 Dan.

Xiao You's eyes widened in surprise. "Doesn't that mean we made 24 saury today? We're rich!"

Xiaoqian looked at her expressionlessly, thinking, "You're quick to think about food."

"Don't forget, we still owe the boss a month's salary."

Xiao You stared blankly, then immediately deflated. She quickly started counting on her fingers, saying, "7200 pills a day, thirty days a month, 6 pills is how many times 3600 pills... one times five equals thirteen, three times equals six..."

In the end, she wisely gave up and asked Xiaoqian, "How long will it take us to pay back the money we owe the boss?"

"It takes about half a month for commission and salary to be added."

"So fast!" Xiao You exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock. "Selling shumai is that profitable?... And how did you calculate such complicated numbers?"
