In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 520 Go to the Direct-sale Store to Buy Things

On Friday morning, Meiya was looking at the newly distributed flyers at the door. She wanted to find the supermarkets that had cheaper prices and discounts and then go there to do some shopping.

But after looking for a long time, she found that the prices in every supermarket were actually pretty much the same, which did not arouse her desire to shop at all.

Meiya opened the next flyer in disappointment, but this time she was a little surprised.

"Is this the factory direct sales store of honey cake? Oh my God, the price is so much cheaper than usual! And the cakes from department store counters are so cheap here!" Meiya was also surprised when she saw the price shown on the flyer.

"After all, it's sold directly from the factory, and then they sell it themselves, so the price will definitely be cheaper than putting it in other supermarkets. If they see it sold in other supermarkets, they have to make some profit, so it's natural that the price is a little higher. And then when they sell it themselves, it's fine as long as the cost is slightly higher." Mingxu gave a simple analysis.

"Xiao Xu is right." Xiao Xin took a sip of milk and said, "Honey cake! I want to eat it!"

"Even if you want to eat it, you haven't bought it yet. Hurry up and finish your breakfast and get ready for school!" Mingxu complained speechlessly when he saw Xiaoxin procrastinating.

"Okay, okay." Xiao Xin waved his hand and said indifferently.

"Hurry up, the baby carriage is coming soon." Meiya put down the flyer and said speechlessly: "I will buy bread for you."

So after rushing for a long time, the two of them finally caught up with the stroller. Meiya breathed a sigh of relief when she watched the stroller leave.

At this time, she noticed the aunt next door who was cleaning the door, thought for a moment and shouted, "Good morning, Mrs. Kitamoto."

"Oh, good morning. Ah, Mrs. Nohara." The aunt greeted Misae with a smile when she saw her.

"By the way, did you see the flyer this morning?" Meiya asked with a smile, "It's the one about the factory direct sale."

Upon hearing this, the aunt next door's eyes suddenly lit up, and she appeared in front of Meiya at lightning speed.

"Mrs. Nohara, do you want to go too?" The aunt suddenly appeared in front of Misae and asked when she was still confused.

"...Yes...yes. The children also said they wanted to eat honey cake." Meiya said stutteringly.

"Now I understand. In that case, let's set off at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning!" The aunt said excitedly to Meiya.

"Ah? Seven o'clock?" Meiya was stunned by the time the aunt said. Is it so early?

"It would be a pity to only go to one place, so I'll take you to a few more places." The aunt said, looking at Meiya with expectant eyes.

"..Okay then." Meiya agreed reluctantly.

After returning to the house, Meiya thought about it. Tomorrow is the weekend. Guangzhi doesn't have to go to work, so he can help take care of the children at home. Besides, at seven o'clock in the morning, except for Xiaoxu who probably just came back from exercise, the other two children would basically not be able to get up.

In that case, Meiya nodded and said, let’s not take the children with us.

After making up her mind, Meiya began her busy day today.

After telling her family about it in the evening, Meiya got up early the next day.

"Ah~" After yawning, Meiya started to change her clothes and prepare to go out.

"Are you going out so early?" Guangzhi was still surprised to see that Meisaya really got up so early.

"There's nothing I can do. The lady next door seems to be an expert at running factory direct stores. She has to go out at this time. Okay, I'll leave first." Meiya said as she picked up her bag and walked out of the house.

As soon as I went out, I ran into Mingxu who had just returned from exercise, and behind Mingxu was an aunt with a gloomy face.

Looking at the phone in her hand, the aunt said: "You are three minutes late."

"Ah? Sorry, I'm late..." Meiya apologized repeatedly.

"Do we really have to go early?" Mingxu asked curiously.

"Of course. Every second counts when visiting a factory-operated store! By the way, Xiaoxu, do you want to go with us?" The aunt said with a smile, looking at Mingxu and asked.

"Me? Okay. I'll go change my clothes and be right out." Mingxu nodded, went back to the room to change clothes, and came out in less than a minute.

"It's so fast." The aunt said in surprise, but she also noticed Xiaoxin behind Mingxu and didn't say much.

"I hope all the lights I encounter along the way are green and there aren't any red lights." Looking at the time, the aunt said a little worriedly.

"I'm really not that sorry..." Meiya said helplessly.

"Mom, stop talking so much. Let's set off quickly." Shin-chan shouted at Mei-ya.

"Okay, I'll drive right away." Before Meiya could react, she got into the driver's seat, while the aunt went to the passenger seat, and Mingxu and Xiaoxin climbed into the back seat.

"Let's go, go, go." After fastening his seat belt, Xiaoxin shouted.

"Okay, then let's go... No, Shin-chan, when did you come?" Meiya finally reacted and shouted in surprise.

"Just now when I went in to change clothes, Xiaoxin woke up. When he saw me changing clothes, he changed with me and followed me out." Mingxu said casually, "I thought you noticed it, but it seems you didn't."

"Are you ready? Don't worry about that anymore. Let's get going quickly." The aunt urged.

"Okay." Meiya's mouth twitched, and she started the car and drove towards the first factory direct store.

On the way, the aunt looked at her plan and said, "We have to go to four places before dusk. Children, do you want to eat chocolate bread and sausages too?"

"Yeah." Mingxu nodded.

"Yeah, I really want to eat it. I really want to eat it." Xiaoxin said excitedly.

"That's good." The aunt said with a smile.

"Are there so many factories here?" Meiya asked curiously.

"There are a lot of factories in Saitama. If you want to visit all of them, you'll have to race against time. Mrs. Nohara, I'll leave it to you." The aunt said and looked at Misae.

"...Okay." Meiya's mouth twitched. She hated roads with unfamiliar conditions the most.

"Come on, come on, Mom." Mingxu shouted from the back seat, but he held the seat belt tightly and did not dare to let go.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Meiya nodded.

When the car arrived at the destination, Meiya and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They arrived safely, and after parking the car, they finally relaxed completely.

"finally reached."

"We arrived on time. I didn't expect to encounter green lights all the way. What a surprise." The aunt said happily after looking at the time.

"That's good." Meiya nodded.

"Okay, get off the bus quickly." The aunt said to the people in line.

Afterwards, everyone got off the bus and were a little surprised to see the long queue.

"Wow, I smell such a nice fragrance." As soon as I got closer, the aroma of bread wafted over.

"Yes, it really is worthy of being a bakery." Mingxu nodded.

"There are so many people queuing here before the door even opens."

"Yeah, but these people are nothing. Okay, let's go line up too." As the aunt walked, she took out two small folding chairs from her bag and placed them on the ground.

"Come on, let's sit down and wait."

"Wow." The three looked at the aunt in surprise.

"There's nothing to be surprised about. This is the necessary equipment for queuing." The aunt smiled, took out a thermos, poured out a few cups of barley tea and handed them to everyone.

"Here, please drink."

"Thank you."

"Aunt has made very thoughtful preparations." Mingxu said with emotion.

"Haha, it's nothing." The aunt waved her hand and smiled.

"Compared to you, our mother is so inferior." Xiaoxin shook his head and complained.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Misaya rolled her eyes at Shin-chan.

"Okay, everyone line up, we'll be open for business soon." At this time, a staff member came out and shouted to the crowd.

"That's just right." Meiya laughed when she saw this.

Not long after, several people entered the store.

Looking at these breads and cakes, everyone was a little surprised. The prices here were much cheaper than in other places.

"How can it be so cheap?"

“These cakes are just a little ugly on the outside, like the edges of the cakes and such. They’re a good deal, right?” The auntie said with a smile.

"Mom, then buy some more." Xiaoxin said happily.

"Well, no problem. I'll start my big shopping trip then!" Meiya nodded.

"I don't think so." Mingxu shook his head and pointed to the paper beside him and said, "Each person is limited to one copy."

"Ah?! Why is this happening?" Meiya was very disappointed.

"Fortunately, the two children came with us." The aunt said with a smile.

"Hehe, it's great that we can come together." Xiaoxin said happily.

"Yeah." Meiya happily took one for each person, and then they continued driving to the next place.

"Hmm. Delicious!" As soon as he got in the car, Xiaoxin couldn't wait to start eating.

"Don't eat too much." Mingxu reminded.

"Yeah, I know. I just wanted to try it. It's delicious..." Xiaoxin nodded.

"Okay, the next place is the chocolate factory." The aunt said while looking at the itinerary.

"! Chocolate, that's great!" Little Xinwenyan became even happier.

Soon, they arrived at the place where there was no purchase limit. Xiaoxin was even more excited and kept shouting: "Chocolate, chocolate~"

"It's so cheap." When Meiya was surprised by the price, the aunt whispered: "Follow me."

As he said this, he led them towards the inner part.

"Can you come in here?" Mingxu said with some surprise.

"Yes. Only experts come here to buy, and only laymen buy outside." The aunt said with a smile.

When she came inside, Meiya was surprised to find that the prices here were even cheaper.

"Wow, as expected, it's cheaper here."

"Yes. It was only after I came here several times that I realized that the store here is too small, so the chocolates for sale are placed in the back." The aunt said with a smile.

"Mom, buy some more!" Xiaoxin shouted excitedly as he looked at the chocolates here.

"Okay, then I'm going to start shopping in bulk too!" Meiya nodded.

"That won't work." Mingxu reminded: "If you buy too much, our house won't be able to store it."

"..." After being reminded by Mingxu, Meiya and Xiaoxin also realized that there seemed to be no storage space at home.

They had no choice but to buy less. After paying, they continued driving to the next place.

“The next one will be another bread factory.”

"Oh, is that the one?"

"Yes."

"Shin-chan, the next one is the factory that makes Ultraman bread." Misaya said with a smile while looking at Shin-chan in the rearview mirror.

"Oh!" Xiaoxin shouted happily.

"Xiao Xin, that's great." Mingxu said with a smile.

"Yes, I want the Ultraman bread! I want the pistachio flavor!"

"Well, I hope it's still on sale." The aunt said after checking the time.

"That's not a good thing to say..." Mingxu shook his head. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Sure enough, when they arrived, the bread had been sold out.

The big Sold Out sign above irritated Xiaoxin and he sat on the ground feeling disappointed.

“It’s selling very well.”

"It's like this sometimes. Let's go to the next place." The aunt said helplessly.

"Okay." Meiya nodded, Mingxu walked over and picked up Xiaoxin, and they continued driving there.

"The next one is the Birch Ham Factory." said the auntie as she looked at the itinerary.

"When we mention birch ham, we think of high-quality ham." Meiya said happily when she heard it.

"So you don't usually have the chance to buy it." The aunt said with a smile.

"Then buy more this time."

"Ah."

When she entered the store, Meiya chose half a basket.

"Well, I think these are enough. I really can't store any more if I buy more." Thinking about her own refrigerator, Meiya also sighed.

"Mom, pay the bill this way." Mingxu reminded.

"Okay, but in this weather, we need some coolant..." Meiya said, noticing the coolant in the corner, which is more expensive than these hams...

"No way, it's so expensive..." Looking at these, Meiya hesitated whether to buy them or not. She originally thought that these were free...

"Here, this is for you." The aunt handed over a heat preservation agent.

"Oh, is it okay?" Meiya asked in surprise.

"Well, coolants are also essential equipment when visiting factory-operated stores." The aunt said with a smile.

"So professional." Mingxu looked at the aunt and exclaimed.

"That's what I mean." Meiya nodded.

After paying, everyone drove back home, and today's goal had been achieved.

"Wow, I'm so satisfied with what I bought today. Let's get ready to go home." Meiya said happily.

"Wait a minute, let's go back to the bakery first!" the aunt suddenly shouted.

"Ah? Okay." Meiya was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Then, under the puzzled gaze of Mingxu and the others, they returned to the place where Xiaoxin lost his life.

Come here just in time for the second sale!

Xiaoxin is so happy now, great! You can buy the Ultraman pineapple bread with pistachio flavor!

"Sure enough, my guess was right." The aunt nodded with satisfaction.

"That's amazing!" Mingxu, Meiya and Xiaoxin looked at the aunt, and their eyes were simply sparkling.

After this purchase, she returned home smoothly. Looking at the things in her hands, Meiya nodded with satisfaction. This saved a lot compared to purchasing directly.

"I'm so happy today. I feel like I'm going to get addicted to buying things like this." Meiya said happily.

"You bought so much." Guangzhi said with some surprise.

"It's okay. Xiaoxu reminded me that we can't have too many at home, otherwise I would have bought more." Meiya spread her hands.

"What Xiaoxu said is right." Guangzhi looked at Mingxu and said with a smile.

"I'm also being realistic." Mingxu shrugged.

"But this purchase was really great." Meisai and Shin-chan shouted happily.

"Yeah." Mingxu agreed. The bread and cakes tasted really good.
