Crossover Anime: Randomly Setting Up a Stall with Binchotan Charcoal

"Boss, two servings of fried rice with eggs, 2000 Dan."

Xia Tian shook her head and pointed to the newly erected price list, "Special offer today: one bottle cap for one serving of fried rice, no cash accepted."

Yeonjoo was stunned by Xia Tian's words.

She glanced at the people in the sewers, then at the boss, as if she understood something.

Enju silently put the coins away, gave Xia Tian a grateful look, and turned to pull Chihori to find the bottle cap.

(P.S.: The next chapter will be available for purchase soon. I promise that regardless of the results, I will continue writing this book diligently. Little Binchotan has already suffered enough; at least in my book, she will have a happy life.)

Chapter 60 Elder: Can I have fried rice on my birthday?

What's the difference between the fried rice sold at the street stall and the white rice made by the elders?

The golden rice grains, mixed with the savory aroma of scrambled eggs, and even the pepper powder that enhances the flavor, are mouthwatering. These are ingredients that everyone can eat every day, but why do they change so much in the hands of the owner?

"Gudong~"

Chihori resisted the urge to drool and didn't eat the fried rice immediately after receiving it.

Instead, he jogged back to the sewer.

It's called a sewer, but the abandoned city no longer has any sewage flowing down here. It's been cleaned up very well, and the space has been simply transformed into something like a basement.

There was a table, chairs, and books. Under the warm light of a kerosene lamp, several little girls played together, their smiles filling the simple room with warmth.

Although life was tough, at least they were happy.

Chiho sought out the elder as if to claim credit.

"Elder Songqi~ Look, what is this?"

Elder Songqi was a kind old man who took in everyone. To them, Elder Songqi was a relative, a grandfather, and a parent.

"Rika Akana, are those kind-hearted facilitator police officers coming up, or are they your Initiator sisters?" Elder Matsuzaki smiled slightly and put down the clothes he was mending.

He had already guessed where the item came from.

In this world, there are only two kinds of people who still have a shred of kindness towards these children.

However, among these two types of people, there are very few good people among the promoters. Most promoters still treat children as tools, or even harbor perverted thoughts. So it's not that the initiators are precocious; they are forced to be precocious.

Chihori shook her head.

"He's a kind-hearted stall owner with a warm smile, but there are also a few Initiator sisters here. Elder, please eat, this fried rice is so delicious."

Rika Akana swallowed hard; it had taken a lot of willpower for her to resist eating on her way back.

"Okay, let's eat together."

Elder Songqi placed the fried rice on the table, and a dozen children each took their own rice spoons and sat around it.

As soon as the takeout box was opened, the aroma of fried rice wafted out. It wasn't the smell of oily, salty, or smoky rice, but rather the fresh fragrance of rice. Each grain of rice was golden and shiny, as if returning to the original color of wheat.

The egg has completely blended into the rice, cleverly coating each grain. The rice grains appear to be dressed in a golden coat, shimmering and mouthwatering.

Elder Songqi was quite shocked. Could this kind-hearted person really be a master chef?

The little girls, their mouths watering, each had a spoonful, and each took a small bite.

"I'm gonna start now."

"One-Tata-Kimas"

The moment the fried rice entered their mouths, the little girl and her friends froze, their red eyes widening in shock.

It's delicious, more delicious than I ever imagined.

Fried rice doesn't contain any fancy ingredients; it's just a combination of rice and eggs. But simple ingredients can be transformed into something extraordinary when cooked by a skilled chef.

The fried rice is savory and fragrant, with the combination of eggs, rice, and seasonings creating a delicious explosion in your mouth.

You can enjoy the freshness of the eggs, the sweetness of the rice, and the wonderful flavor created by the chemical reaction between the two.

This flavor enters the mouth, goes down the throat, and rushes straight to the brain, bringing warmth on three levels, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

This isn't just fried rice; it's a delicacy!

The little girls didn't know any adjectives; all they knew was that this was the second best thing they had ever eaten in their lives, the best being the food made by the elders.

The elder was so captivated by the delicious fried rice that he even shed two tears.

"too delicious."

Rika Akana couldn't help but praise it; she had never tasted such a comforting dish before.

This fried rice not only warms the stomach, but also contains the heartfelt sentiments of the maker, a strong emotion as warm as sunshine.

"Waaah, Elder, can you make fried rice with eggs? Can I have fried rice with eggs on my birthday?"

"I want it too, I want it too."

Reluctantly swallowing the food in their mouths, the little girls were all excited and surrounded the elder, making requests one after another.

The elder took off his glasses, wiped away his tears, looked at the many little girls, and waved his hand.

"No need to wait until my birthday, let's go buy ten more servings of egg fried rice."

The person who can make such comforting food can't be a bad person; he wants to meet the owner.

They prepared a huge amount of ingredients, but stopped cooking after selling one serving.

Xia Tian and Xiao You exchanged bewildered glances. He had misjudged the area outside the city and the number of little girls; it seemed there weren't as many people as he had imagined.

This camp only has a dozen or twenty people at most, and this 100-pound bucket of rice is not enough to finish.

Starting things up so early in the morning seems a bit awkward.

Not long after,

Enju returned after finding the bottle cap, easing the awkward atmosphere between them.

"Boss, can we pay now? Two servings of fried rice."

"Alright, please wait a moment, you two." Xia Tian took the 'rice 947 coins' with a serious expression and started stir-frying with great enthusiasm.

"This is the taste I've been craving all night."

A few minutes later, Yeonju took the fried rice, took a deep breath, and looked completely satisfied.

"Chiho, eat up! Let me tell you, Mr. Xia's fried rice is the best in the world. Even Rentaro's skills can't compare to his."

"Uh-huh."

Even without Enju explaining, Chiho knew that this fried rice was no ordinary dish.

In the past, when she was extremely hungry, she would run to wealthy neighborhoods to pick up food discarded by the rich, but those so-called high-end delicacies were nowhere near as fragrant as this fried rice.

With her limited understanding, she couldn't define the value of this fried rice, but she would have bought it if she had the money, given its original price of 1000 dan.

“Delicious~”

After taking a spoonful, Chihori's expression changed instantly. The next moment, she picked up the box and gulped down the rice, greedily shoveling it into her mouth.

There aren't many adjectives needed; it's simply delicious. At this moment, Chiho finally understood why the worldly-wise Enju couldn't forget this fried rice.

After taking her first bite of the fried rice, she couldn't stop thinking about it.

I wonder if I'll be able to eat it again, and when the next time will be?

This fried rice is so delicious!

Chapter 61 Elder Matsukaki's Touching Moment

"Boss, thank you for the fried rice. It brought me a sense of warmth I haven't felt in a long time."

Summer met Elder Matsuzaki and a group of lolis at the stall.

The old man was dressed very gentlemanly, with gray hair, wearing classic small round glasses, an old white shirt and gray trousers, and a gentleman's cane in his hand.

The little girls mostly wore similar clothes to Xiao Lixiang, worn but clean.

"You're too kind. You're the one who brings warmth to these children. I'm ashamed to even mention my small favor."

Elder Songqi shook his head: "No act of kindness is too small, and every act is precious to these children. I also thank you for what you did, even if it was just a bottle cap, so that this child wouldn't get something for nothing."

As he spoke, he bowed his head slightly to show his gratitude.

Summer waved her hand and changed the subject, saying, "The children aren't full yet, are they? And would the old gentleman like a serving of fried rice with eggs? One bottle cap's worth."

Elder Songqi was taken aback, then shook his head and smiled, "Me too?"

“Everyone here is a customer, and I treat everyone equally,” Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Treat everyone equally, what a wonderful phrase 'treat everyone equally'."

Elder Songqi's face was bitter. Everyone in the city was rejecting these cursed children; there was no equality among them.

However, it's good that this kind boss can bring the children a brief moment of happiness.

"Kids, let's get moving and find bottle caps to exchange for fried rice with this guy."

"Long live the Elder!"

The little girls scattered in all directions. They had been drooling over the fried rice for a long time, and with the elder's approval, they could no longer resist and began searching through the ruins.

Although the surrounding cities have been abandoned for many years, bottle caps are still easy to find.

Before long, the children returned in turn, each carrying a pile of bottle caps, some as many as a dozen.

"Boss, nineteen servings of fried rice, thank you for your trouble." The elder smiled awkwardly and pulled a bottle cap from his pocket; he had come prepared.

Xia Tian smiled and took it: "Please sit down and wait a moment, guest."

The little girls sat in a row next to Yeonju, looking at Summer with eager eyes, giving him the feeling of cooking for a kindergarten.

Before long, Xia Tian had prepared three batches of fried rice, one for each person. At the elder's signal, the little girls thanked Xia Tian in unison.

Then they cooked rice.

"Boss, how long are you going to keep this stall open? Are you coming back tomorrow?" After giving half of the fried rice in the box to the oldest member, Xiao Lixiang, the elder turned to ask Xia Tian.

Upon hearing this, all twenty lolis, including Yanzhu, looked up at Xia Tian, ​​clearly wanting to know as well.

This egg fried rice is so delicious and warming. If I could eat it again tomorrow, I would die without regrets, even if I lost control and turned into a monster in a couple of days.

Summer paused for a moment, looked at the expectant eyes of the many little girls, and slowly nodded.

If he had hesitated just now, he had now truly decided to completely abandon the system's mission.

When you're alive, there are things you want to do and things you don't want to do.

Was he tempted by the mission rewards? Of course he was; who wouldn't want the wonders of ninjutsu?

But now, in his view, delivering a plate of fried rice to the little girls is more meaningful than completing quests.

"I'll come tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that. I'll come all week!"

"Wow!"

The little girls were thrilled to hear this, their eyes shining. It meant they could still eat delicious fried rice 2345 times. Even if it was just one meal a day, they felt incredibly happy; they were definitely the happiest of the cursed children.

"Brother, are you serious? It's a promise, okay?"

"Will you really come? Don't lie, let's pinky swear."

"I really hope tomorrow comes soon."

The excited little girls completely forgot the table manners taught by the elders and started chattering away.

This time, the elders did not stop them. It was the children's nature, and since it was a rare occasion that made everyone so happy, they didn't want to spoil the fun.

Summer nodded seriously, almost as if she were swearing an oath to the little girls, before she could calm everyone down.

"Elders, do you know where the other children are? I prepared over a thousand portions of these ingredients today, but it seems there aren't many children?"

"This outer city is divided into 39 districts, and most of the other children live in these districts..."

This sewer camp is just a small settlement, located next to Area 39. The main force is still in the area where Yeonju and the others came from.

"I am ashamed to say that my abilities are limited, and adopting a dozen or so is already the limit."
