Chapter 1476 Printing Recipes
Chapter 1476 Printing Recipes
"Okay. Oh, really? I understand, I'll come get it right away." With that, Misae hung up the phone.
"Oh, Mom, what's wrong? Is it me? Did I scam you?" Shin-chan asked curiously as he looked at Misae.
"No, it's Aunt Hui." Meiya shook her head and returned to the living room.
"Is Aunt Hui doing this to me? Am I swindling?" Xiao Xin scratched his head, puzzled.
"I already said no." Misae looked at Shin-chan with a bit of helplessness, and continued to draw in the living room. There was a menu next to her, and it seemed that she was imitating it.
Mingxu looked at the menu and asked, puzzled, "Mom, are you copying this because you want to return it to Aunt Hui?"
"Huh? Did Aunt Hui make all of these?" Shin-chan asked in surprise as he looked at the menu.
"Yes, the recipes listed are all very simple, but they taste delicious. However, she just told me to return them to her immediately," Misae said with a hint of helplessness.
"Oh, no wonder Mom was copying so diligently." Shin-chan finally understood and nodded.
"But why can't we take a picture first?" Mingxu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
"..." Misae's expression froze. "Hiss, I didn't even think of that idea!"
She quickly defended herself: "Hey, the reason I don't take pictures is because Mom doesn't want to forget. If I take pictures on my phone, I'll forget them quickly. It's better to copy them down so I can remember them better."
"Oh, right, Mom has another way. You can keep it in paper form too." Mingxu suddenly remembered something and looked at Meiya and said.
"Huh?" Misae was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.
"Just print it out. That way, it can be preserved in paper form, and you can see it whenever you want," Mingxu said, shrugging.
"That's right!" Misae clapped her hands and immediately took the little ones out.
I quickly found a shop that could print.
As soon as you enter, the staff immediately greets you: "Hello, welcome!"
"I'm already here, don't be shy~" Shin-chan replied with a smile to the clerk.
"Printer... um." Misae looked around, while Mingxu pointed to a spot in the corner: "Mom, it's over there."
"Oh. Found it." Following the direction Mingxu pointed, Misae finally found the printer in the corner.
This is the self-service printing mode; just insert coins to start printing.
Looking at the printer in front of her, Misae examined it from head to toe.
"Is Mom alright?" Shin-chan asked uncertainly, looking at Misae's appearance.
"What is that?" Misae asked, puzzled.
Shin-chan looked at Misae and immediately shook his head: "You have the nerve to ask me? Because Mom is completely helpless when it comes to machines." Shin-chan said with a helpless look.
Misae rolled her eyes: "I used to do printing all the time when I was working, no problem!" Looking at the two little ones who looked down on her, Misae was also full of fighting spirit. She was going to prove them wrong!
"That's how it should be. Let me see, where are the operation buttons? Strange, strange, strange? Ah, how annoying, this machine's model is different from the ones I've used before..." Misae looked at the machine and found the buttons, then covered her mouth and laughed awkwardly.
Mingxu looked at the people queuing behind Meiya and tugged at Meiya's skirt uncertainly: "Mom, that one over there might be the one being manipulated."
"Huh?" Misae stared in surprise at the direction Mingxu was pointing. There were a few words written on it: operating instructions. It seemed that it really was the printer controlled by that screen.
"Oh, I see." Misae scratched her head, a little embarrassed.
"What does it say on this?" Shin-chan asked curiously.
"The printer's user manual," Misae replied casually, then laughed awkwardly, "Haha~ So that's how you operate it."
"What? So this isn't a TV." Shin-chan was immediately disappointed; he had thought he could play with it.
After figuring out how to do it, Misae adjusted the settings on the screen, took out Ahui's recipe, and placed it in the printing position.
"Oh? Are you putting Aunt Ahui's things here?" Shin-chan asked curiously, watching Misae's actions.
"Yes." Meiya nodded.
"Hey, but there seems to be something up there?" Mingxu looked up and suddenly said uncertainly, because it was a matter of size and he couldn't see it clearly.
Shin-chan immediately climbed up, picked it up, and exclaimed, "There really is something here, Mom! What is it?"
Seeing what Shin-chan was holding, Misae was startled: "Oh no, the previous person printed it and forgot to take it! This kind of thing happens all the time."
"It's a driver's license. This guy is so careless," Mingxu said, glancing at the thing in Xiaoxin's hand.
"Wow~ I have a driver's license, I have a driver's license~ Now I can drive too!" Shin-chan jumped up happily as he held up his driver's license.
"Hey, hey, hey, this driver's license isn't yours, so don't even think about driving yourself. Just drive your toy car instead," Mingxu said, shaking his head at Xiaoxin.
"Yeah, you can just drive your own toy car, why are you talking nonsense?" After taking the driver's license from Shin-chan, Misae prepared to take it to the front desk, then looked at the person behind her and said, "Excuse me, please use it first."
The other person didn't say anything, and after watching Misae leave, they took their own things, placed them on the table, and started printing.
"Hello, this is what I found by the printer. It seems the previous person forgot to take it with them," he explained to the receptionist.
"Oh, thank you for your help." The receptionist took the driver's license, thanked Misae, and temporarily put it away, waiting for the owner to come and collect it.
"I'm telling you, I'm already printing, okay? It's safer to print the whole thing, right? Alright, okay, I got it." The other person said, inserting more coins into the printer. Looking at the number, Misae's lips twitched: 'I should have known better than to let him use it first.'
Seeing that the other party had no intention of ending the conversation, Misae became impatient: "I can't wait any longer, I'm going to another convenience store."
After saying that, he led the children toward another convenience store that offered printing services.
"Hello, welcome!" the shop assistant's voice rang out at the opportune moment.
"I've already arrived~" Shin-chan replied with a grin.
"Don't repeat what I always say," Misae said, looking at Shin-chan with a hint of exasperation.
Then I noticed an old lady using the printer up ahead.
"Um, is this the way? Hmm, um?"
Seeing the old woman's expression, Misae suddenly realized: "I know! She must be struggling because she doesn't know how to operate it!"
Seeing this, Misae immediately stepped forward: "If it's convenient, let me do it."
"Oh, thank you so much for being so kind, I'm so sorry." The old woman looked at Misae with delight.
"No, this is fine, one sheet is enough, right?" Misae asked, taking the paper from the old woman's hand.
"Yes." The old woman nodded.
After putting everything away, Misae looked at the printer in front of her and paused, "Huh? That's strange. Where's the control panel? Let me see... That's odd..."
"Um, Mom, the button, the button is up there. This one is different from the last one," Mingxu reminded her helplessly. He had to admit, his mother was a complete idiot when it came to machines.
The old woman followed Mingxu's instructions and pressed start. The paper was printed out immediately.
Misae's expression immediately turned somewhat awkward. After watching the old woman leave, Misae began preparing to print her own.
Looking at the price list, she confirmed, "Ah, 10 for a black and white print? Okay! Black and white it is then!" With that, Misae pressed the option and began preparing to print the black and white print.
"Let me do it, let me press it, let me press it~" Shin-chan immediately started to whine when he saw this.
"No way, this machine doesn't belong to us. It would be terrible if it got broken." Misae looked at Shin-chan and resolutely refused.
Just as Shin-chan was about to throw a tantrum, Mingxu grabbed him and said, "Alright, throwing a tantrum won't help. I'll let you press it down later, so stop yelling and screaming."
"Huh? Xiaoxu, this..." Misae hesitated.
"Mom, just start printing, it's not that hard." Mingxu looked at Meiya helplessly and reminded her, "If you don't hurry up and print, we might have more guests coming."
After listening to Mingxu's words, Misae thought about it and agreed. She then said to Shin-chan, "Alright, I'll let you press the start button, but be careful not to press anything else."
Upon hearing this, Shin-chan immediately became excited, his eyes sparkling, and he nodded vigorously: "Okay, Mom, don't worry!"
Misae placed the recipe book in its correct position and then said to Shin-chan, "Come on, press this start button." Shin-chan reached out and carefully pressed the button. The printer made a "buzzing" sound and started working.
Misae looked at the printer and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, it's starting to print. I hope it will go smoothly this time."
Soon, a printed recipe came out of the printer. Misae picked it up, looked at it, and nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, it's printed quite clearly." Then, she put more paper in, preparing to print the next one.
Xiaoxin lost patience after playing for a while and left to wander around the store. Mingxu was a little worried and followed him.
Seeing that Shin-chan wasn't causing any trouble in the store, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Misae finished printing quickly, and after putting everything away, she looked around and asked, "Strange, where are Asahi and Shin-chan?"
"Ah~ which one should I choose?" Shin-chan looked at the snack in his hand with a dilemma, because when Misae asked Shin-chan to go out, she said that he could only buy one, and Akira couldn't disobey her.
"Seriously, you still haven't decided what to buy?" Misae said helplessly, looking at Shin-chan who was still struggling with his decision.
"Because I'm the type of person who thinks things through carefully."
"You're just indecisive. Has Aoi made her choice yet?" Misae said, looking towards Mingxu, who was pushing Aoi around as she was choosing things.
"Eeya ya!" Xiao Kui exclaimed excitedly, pointing at something.
"Oh, this one." After giving it to Xiaokui, Xiaoxin also gave up on this one and went to look at the others. As for Mingxu, he had already made his choice.
"Ugh~ Choosing snacks is such a chore. Are there any other options? Hmm? Hehe~" Shin-chan's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the printer, his face full of excitement.
After Misae took Himawari to pay the bill, Mingxu looked around for Shin-chan, but couldn't find him for a while. Somewhat puzzled, he went to the printer area and, looking at Shin-chan in front of him, fell silent.
"You actually used a printer to print a photo album..." For a moment, Mingxu didn't know whether to say Xiaoxin was clever or just witty.
Misae happened to come over at that moment and was shocked to see Shin-chan's actions: "Shin-chan, what are you doing!"
"Hehe~ This photobook, if we don't buy it, but print it out, isn't that a super cost-effective way to buy it~" Shin-chan looked at Misae excitedly, a little thrilled.
"...You big idiot, this kind of thing is illegal!" Misae glared at Shin-chan and put the things back.
"Huh? Why?" Shin-chan asked, puzzled.
"You're still asking? You took the book to print it without even buying it! That's absolutely unacceptable!" Misae looked at Shin-chan with a headache. She hadn't seen him for a moment, and he'd already caused trouble.
Watching Misae destroy the printed materials, Shin-chan looked on with reluctance: "Oh, goodbye, my Haru~"
"Don't linger there!" Seeing Xiaoxin's behavior, Mingxu helplessly picked him up and handed him a snack as he left, which finally calmed the boy down.
After returning the borrowed cookbook to Ahui with Misae, the group, carrying the snacks they had bought and the printed cookbook, headed home.
