Chapter 1314 Making Fried Noodles
Chapter 1314 Making Fried Noodles
That day, at the Nohara residence.
The little ones were playing around here, and it looked like they were playing the Action Kamen game again.
"Ouch, I'm dead~" Ah-Dai cried out as he lay on the ground.
Kazama awkwardly approached Shin-chan, arms crossed, and said, "Thank you, Action Kamen!"
"Are you alright, Mimi-ko?" Shin-chan asked Kazama.
In front of them, Nini and Zheng Nan, who were playing the strange man, roared: "Ah!!"
"Eeya~" Little Sunflower also crawled over.
"It's here! The monster that likes to squeeze! Whoosh!" Shin-chan released a motion-sensing beam at Kui-kun. Ming-xu lay quietly on the ground, keeping company with A-dai. Well, he was the first big boss, and he's already finished killing them.
Misae watched them from the kitchen and couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, you're having so much fun. Ah, it's getting late, it's about time to call it a day. Let me think about what to have for lunch." Misae glanced at the time; it was almost eleven o'clock. It seemed they were leaving soon. What should they eat for lunch? What a dilemma!
"Okay, let's make some cup noodles." Misae opened the cabinet, looked at the cup noodles inside, and smiled. Hehe, time to be lazy again~
Next, all that's needed is for the little ones to leave, but...
Outside, Zheng Nan shouted somewhat discontentedly, "I'm the Action Superman now!"
Kazama scratched his head: "Haven't you ever been a masao yet?"
"Yes!" Zheng Nan nodded seriously.
“Then let Masao be Action Kamen this time,” Kazama said, looking at Masao.
Mingxu watched calmly. He wasn't interested in any of this anyway; it didn't matter who did it. He just needed to lie down from the start.
Seeing that the little ones still showed no sign of stopping, Misae came out of the kitchen and said, "Everyone."
"Who are you all?" Shin-chan turned to look at Misae.
Misae's lips twitched: "Everyone is everyone."
Shin-chan looked at Masao: "Action Kamen!"
"Action Man!" Zheng Nan immediately became excited.
"Mimi!"
"Dazed~" Ah-Dai lay calmly on the ground.
“Officer!” Nini stood up.
"You're an inconspicuous office worker connected to Officer A!" Shin-chan said, glancing at Kazama.
"Being inconspicuous is superfluous!" Kazama shouted indignantly, thinking to himself that he was an elite!
"Captain Xiaoxu!" Xiaoxin looked at Mingxu.
"Oh, oh." Mingxu calmly lay on the table.
Shin-chan continued pointing to himself and shouting, "Finally, let me introduce myself as the Yokai Yukina Pollen Child! Wow~"
"Ah, I know..." Misae rolled her eyes, looking at them helplessly. Mingxu looked at Misae, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Mom, is something wrong?"
"Sorry to interrupt you all, you were having so much fun. Is it okay if you don't have to go home?" Misae looked at the little ones, pointed to the time, and asked.
"I already said, we're not you guys... Waaaaah~" Before Shin-chan could finish speaking, Misae covered his mouth.
"Stop talking!" Misae glared at Shin-chan, annoyed. "It's all your fault for interrupting me."
Kazama and the others realized, "Oh right, it's lunchtime already."
"It's time to go home."
"Really? Then come again next time." Misae immediately became excited; once they left, she could finally slack off.
"Ah, you're all going back? We've only just started playing! Want to keep playing? Let's keep playing~" Shin-chan immediately broke free from Misae's hand in dissatisfaction and grabbed everyone.
"Haven't we been playing for a long time already?" Misae said helplessly. This guy has gone crazy with fun.
"But this is the first time in Masao's life that he's going to be Action Kamen! Right, Masao!" Shin-chan didn't hesitate to shift the blame onto Masao.
“That’s right…” Zheng Nan said subconsciously.
Shin-chan continued to argue with Masao, saying, "Going back like this would be a regret, and you wouldn't be able to die in peace!"
"...It's not that serious." Zheng Nan was speechless. No, you're exaggerating a bit.
Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin speechlessly; the kid's attention-seeking behavior had struck again.
"I understand how you feel, but it's already noon. Let's come play again next time." Misae hadn't given up yet. Just as Mingxu was about to say something, Shin-chan suddenly thought of something and excitedly said, "That's right, let's have lunch at our house together!"
"Huh?" Misae was taken aback. If they stayed, wouldn't she have to seriously cook? Shin-chan, you little brat!
"Lunchtime~ Lunchtime~ Let's all have lunch together~" Shin-chan jumped up excitedly. Mingxu looked at Misae's expression and his lips twitched. It seemed that his mother was not very willing.
"I feel embarrassed."
"Oh, it doesn't matter to our family..." Misae was still being stubborn.
"She said yes!" Shin-chan immediately seized on the loophole in Misae's words and looked excitedly at the little ones: "Is it okay? Let's have lunch together?"
"..." Mingxu looked at Meiya again, walked over and asked softly, "Mom, do you want some?"
"Oh well, I'll just make something simple," Misae sighed.
The little ones scratched their heads upon hearing this: "I need to ask my mom first."
"That's true, we should ask first." Misae realized that there was still a chance!
"I called and asked for you!" Shin-chan said, taking his phone out of Misae's pocket and dialing the number.
And so...
"Ah, yes, that's settled then." The little ones successfully stayed. Looking at the excited children behind her, Misae sighed again. What a hassle.
"How did it turn out like this... Why did we have to choose a day when the fridge was completely empty? Is it okay to eat fried noodles?" Misae asked, looking at the little ones.
"Eat fried noodles~ Eat fried noodles~ Yay~" the little ones shouted excitedly.
"Nobody dislikes fried noodles, right?" Misae asked, looking at the little ones.
"No." Everyone shook their heads.
Mingxu looked at the little ones: "Eat whatever is cooked. You can't be picky when eating fried noodles. Everything has to be added. If any one ingredient is missing, the fried noodles will taste bad. So, no picky eating!"
"..." The children paused for a moment after Mingxu said that, then nodded obediently.
Seeing this, Misae said with satisfaction, "Then everyone will have to wait a moment."
"Okay~" The little ones nodded immediately.
Misae then began preparing ingredients in the kitchen. Kazama hesitated for a long time, then looked towards the kitchen and whispered to Akira, "Akira, I... I don't really like onions."
"The minority obeys the majority. Raise your hand if you don't like onions." Mingxu rolled his eyes, and then only Kazama raised his hand among the little ones. Shin-chan glanced at it, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand as well.
“Okay, the request is rejected,” Mingxu said calmly.
"Exactly, it doesn't taste good without onions," Nini said, also expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Then, I... I can't eat cabbage." Zheng Nan hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand.
“Let’s vote by raising our hands,” Mingxu said again, raising an eyebrow.
"..." Of the children, only Zheng Nan raised his hand.
"The request is rejected again," Mingxu said calmly. "Who else?"
"Where can you find stir-fried noodles without cabbage? Last time, everyone made stir-fried noodles at the meeting and ate them happily." Ah-Dai rarely stood up to refute Zheng-Nan.
Just as Xiaoxin was about to raise his hand, Mingxu pressed it down: "You usually don't add too much green pepper, so you can reject your request yourself."
The little ones kept their heads down in silence, then Kazama suddenly remembered something: "By the way, do you put meat in the fried noodles?"
"Add it." Mingxu said calmly, "I usually add shredded meat. Why have you been eating vegetarian lately?"
"Um... I've been eating vegetarian food lately, so is it okay if I don't eat the remaining meat?" Kazama asked cautiously.
"...Why don't you ask Xiaoxin to eat it for you later?" Mingxu rolled his eyes.
"Huh? Shin-chan." Kazama's gaze turned to Shin-chan.
"Hehe~ Kazama~" Shin-chan excitedly snuggled up to Kazama.
“…Please.” Kazama said through gritted teeth.
"Hehe~ I promise~" Shin-chan shouted, patting his chest.
"Sigh~" Kazama couldn't help but sigh.
The children looked at Mingxu, who remained calm, and fell silent for a moment. They didn't make any further demands, feeling that Mingxu had been somewhat heartless today.
"Adding random things will make the fried noodles taste weird. If you think you can still eat it like that, you can continue to give your opinions. On the premise that your opinions won't make everyone hate you~" Mingxu raised his eyebrows and said, "Because, if you ask for these fried noodles, you have to eat them all!"
"..." Upon hearing this, the children immediately fell silent. No, they couldn't say anything out of turn now.
Misae listened to the children's discussion outside from the kitchen, a slight smile playing on her lips. These little ones were really interesting. She skillfully put the noodles into the boiling water to cook, while simultaneously preparing various side dishes: onions, cabbage, and shredded meat, all chopped and ready to use. Although she said she was just making something casual, her hands were anything but careless; after all, she wanted the children to enjoy their meal.
"Mom, do you need any help?" Mingxu walked into the kitchen and asked, looking at the busy Meiya.
Misae turned to look at him and smiled, "No need, Xiaoxu, go play with them. Mom can take care of things here."
“Okay, Mom, just call me if you need anything.” Mingxu nodded, turned and walked out of the kitchen.
He returned to the living room and saw the children sitting together, quietly discussing something. Seeing him, Xiaoxin immediately came over: "Xiaoxu, how many kinds of fried noodles does Mom know how to make?"
"Who knows? My mom's cooking is always excellent; whatever she makes is delicious," Mingxu replied calmly.
"Yes, that's right! Mom's cooking is the best!" Shin-chan nodded in agreement, then jumped up excitedly, "Let's eat fried noodles! Let's eat fried noodles!"
The other children were also infected by his enthusiasm and cheered along with him. A little while later, Misae came out of the kitchen carrying a steaming bowl of fried noodles. Seeing the children's excited faces, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"Here it comes, here it comes, the fried noodles are here!" Misae placed the fried noodles on the table and called the children over to eat.
The children immediately crowded around, their mouths watering at the sight of the delicious-looking fried noodles. Shin-chan, in particular, couldn't wait, grabbing a large mouthful and stuffing it into his mouth before squeezing his eyes in satisfaction: "Delicious! Delicious! Mom's fried noodles are the best!"
The other kids also picked up their chopsticks and tasted the fried noodles in front of them, smiles spreading across their faces. Hmm, not bad, not the strange taste they had imagined.
However, Nini looked at the fried noodles and said, "It's a bit bland..."
"There's no other way, Mom, how about we add some sauce for Nini?" Remembering that Nini's family always bought strongly flavored sauces, they suddenly realized.
Misae nodded and reprocessed Nini's fried noodles, which satisfied Nini.
"Well, the conclusion is that it's a really delicious stir-fried noodle dish~"
"Mmm." The little ones nodded.
Misae smiled as she looked at their smiles. What chef wouldn't like others to like what they make?
