In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1426 Side Dish Treasure Hunt Game (Part 1)

At the Nohara residence, Shin-chan is playing a game with Hiroshi.

"Pirate Captain Hiroshi! Where did you hide the treasure?"

"Hehehe~ I'm hiding somewhere you'll never find me." Hiroshi laughed like a villain.

"Hey, hey, hey, that laughter isn't very nice, is it?" Mingxu looked at Guangzhi speechlessly.

"Hey~ whatever," Hiroshi waved his hand dismissively.

Misae then peeked out from the kitchen, looked at them, and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Uh, whatever," Mingxu said, shrugging. Anyway, Meiya definitely wouldn't make anything too complicated. Last time she wanted to eat braised pork, Meiya hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing. It wasn't that the dish was too expensive; it was just that she was too lazy to wait in the kitchen.

"Um, well..." Hiroshi hesitated upon hearing this.

"I want to eat something filling like croquettes today," Shin-chan said without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Hiroshi nodded immediately: "That's right, croquettes are a great pairing with alcohol."

"There are also pan-fried dumplings, hamburger patties, and fluffy omelet rice," Xiaoxin continued. Mingxu shook his head. It was already a mercy of her mother to make even one of these for you. If she were willing to do so much, Mingxu would suspect that her body had been switched.

As expected, Misae rolled her eyes at Shin-chan; "How could I possibly make so many different things!"

"How about we write down our favorite side dishes on a piece of paper and decide by drawing lots?" Hiroshi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said with a smile to everyone.

"Hey, great idea." Mingxu gave Guangzhi a thumbs up.

"This is a real headache. Dad has no creativity at all," Shin-chan complained from the side.

"What? What else can we do?" The group turned to look at Shin-chan, curious about what brilliant idea the kid had in mind.

"Write down the side dishes on a piece of paper, hide it in a corner of the house, and that'll be dinner tonight," Shin-chan suggested with a grin.

"That's a great idea."

"A side dish treasure hunt game, huh? That sounds like fun!"

So, the group started writing things down on the paper. Mingxu also wrote down a few dishes that Meiya usually didn't want to make. When Meiya saw what was on the paper, her lips twitched: "Upon closer inspection, they are all dishes that are very troublesome to make..."

"Oh, right, Mom, write a few too." Misae had a sudden inspiration and wrote a few simple ones herself to mix in, then folded them to the same size and placed them on the table.

"Folding it to this size should be enough, right?" Hiroshi nodded, looking at the note on the table.

Picking up the notes from the table, Misae said with a grin, "Then Mommy will hide them, and you can look for them again."

She then ushered everyone into the bathroom and told them to stay there, while she hid herself all over the house.

"Is it ready yet?" Shin-chan asked impatiently as he looked outside.

"Not ready yet." Misae's voice came from outside. Mingxu closed his eyes and listened intently to the sounds outside.

"Shin-chan, don't talk." Hiroshi saw Mingxu's expression and shushed Shin-chan. Then, seeing Mingxu open his eyes, Hiroshi asked excitedly, "Xiaoxu, how was it? Could you hear where your mother was hiding things?"

"Well, there are probably some places we can find out. There are things hidden in the bedroom, kitchen, and living room. There are also things hidden on the second floor. However, I guess that, if nothing unexpected happens, Mom will hide the more complicated things we wrote down more deeply. The things hidden in the living room and bedroom are probably simpler. But there's also a possibility in the closet, after all, that's our family's key area of ​​focus." Mingxu stroked his chin and said his guess.

"Oh, in that case, we can probably take a look at the places on the second floor first?" Hiroshi said, stroking his chin.

"Not necessarily. Let's see if it's as we think. Let's start with the first floor. As for the second floor, Mom probably won't admit to leaving things there," Mingxu said with a smile, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Shin-chan, on the other hand, couldn't wait any longer. He was jumping around in the bathroom, constantly chanting, "Treasure, treasure, here I come!"

"The easy-to-make side dishes are hidden in easy-to-find places, while the complicated ones like croquettes and dumplings are hidden in hard-to-find places. Done! But even if they are found, we can use ready-made food to fool them, hehe~" Misae smiled slyly, then shouted outside, "Alright, you can come out and look now. The side dish treasure hunt begins!" As soon as she finished speaking, Shin-chan was the first to rush out, followed closely by Hiroshi and Akira.

Shin-chan burst into the living room like a little cannonball, rummaging under the sofa and in the corner of the coffee table, muttering, "It must be here."

Hiroshi went straight to the kitchen, opened the cabinet doors, carefully examined each compartment, and occasionally tapped on the cabinet walls to see if anything was hidden.

Mingxu first walked around the living room and dining room, but found nothing. Then he went to the bedroom, squatted down, and groped through the gaps in the wardrobe. Suddenly, his hand touched a piece of paper. He was overjoyed and quickly took it out to read that it was a simple recipe written by Meiya.

Shin-chan searched the living room and found only a note that said "miso soup." He stomped his feet in anger and shouted, "That's not fair! Mom must have hidden all the good food!"

"Hehe~ Guess where it's hidden? Is it there or here? It might be there too~" Misae said with a grin as she watched their actions. Then, seeing that Mingxu and Xiaoxin were each holding a slip of paper, she said with a grin, "Come on, open them and see what's written inside."

"Hmm, what does it say?" Hiroshi also came over to take a look.

"Miso soup," Shin-chan said.

"Oh~ you found miso soup~ Congratulations~" Misae looked at them with a smile, inwardly giving herself a thumbs up for hiding her complicated thoughts.

"What's going on? Are there side dishes besides the main course?" Hiroshi looked at Misae with dissatisfaction, then looked at Akira: "What's that in Akira's hand?"

"Oh, salad..." Mingxu rolled his eyes. "Mom, are you sure you want miso soup with salad? That's not fair."

"Hey~ This is what you guys found, it has nothing to do with me." Misae shrugged and grinned, "If you can find others, I can make them too~ But, can you even find any~"

Seeing Misae's provocative look, Mingxu decided not to hold back. Looking towards the bedroom, he said, "Shin-chan, Dad, go check inside the closet. I'll go upstairs. Mom, you don't think we didn't hear the sounds of you rummaging through the drawers upstairs, do you?"

"!" Misae had no idea about Hiroshi and Shinichi going to the closet for the time being, but when Akira said the second floor, she was stunned. Wait, are your ears so sensitive now?

It seems like I keep most of my things hidden upstairs! Especially the ones Xiaoxu wrote down.

“Mom, you wouldn’t have left some notes in the study, would you? Don’t forget, I go there every day, I know the layout inside like the back of my hand.” Mingxu said, his eyes full of provocation as he looked at Meiya.

"!" Misae's eyes widened again. She had gone too far and forgotten that!

"Hehe~ As expected, this makes the game more fun~" Hiroshi raised an eyebrow and looked at Misae.

Seeing this, Misae quickly waved her hands in denial: "No, no, I'm very well hidden, you won't find me easily!" But her flustered expression betrayed her true thoughts.
