In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 106 Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Mingxu was dragged out by Xiaoxin to buy bear biscuits, for which he agreed to a lot of unequal treaties, such as helping with housework, helping to take care of Xiaobai, and no longer showing his butt casually.

Although Mingxu felt that Xiaoxin rarely fulfilled what he promised, this guy only agreed verbally and then forgot about it.

The two were walking on the street and happened to bump into Nini, Zhengnan, and A'dai. The three of them were standing behind a telephone pole, staring at a shop, not knowing what they were thinking.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Xiao Xin didn't think too much, he walked up and patted the three people on the shoulders and asked.

"!!!" The three were startled by the sudden sound from behind. They turned around and saw the two brothers Mingxu and Xiaoxin, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's Xiaoxu and Xiaoxin. They scared us." Zhengnan patted his chest, as if trying to calm his heartbeat.

"What are you looking at?" Mingxu continued to ask the same question.

"Look." Hearing this, Nini pulled Mingxu and Xiaoxin towards the place she was looking at and said, "The new sweet potatoes in that store look great. It would be even better if we could use them to bake sweet potatoes."

"So what?" Mingxu was confused. What's the point of looking great?

"Oh, that's your fault, Xiaoxu. They want to eat." Xiaoxin came out from the side and directly revealed the purpose of the three people.

"Oh, I see. Then I'll go buy some." Mingxu was about to go forward, but was stopped by the three people. He looked at the three people in confusion. I want to eat but you won't let me buy. What's your logic?

"That's not the case. We were wondering if there was any way to get the owner to send us a few. So we were standing here thinking, and then you two showed up." Nini shook her head and said.

"I don't think the owner would give things to you for no reason." Mingxu shook his head. Who would take things for no reason? Such a person is either really kind-hearted or has an ulterior motive.

"Hey, Xiaoxu, not everything can be bought directly, everyone just look at me." Xiaoxin popped up again and patted his chest and said. "Of course, I need Zhengnan to cooperate with me~" Xiaoxin said while looking at Zhengnan.

"Ah, me, no, I can't do it." Zhengnan saw that everyone was looking at him, and he hurriedly shook his head, waving his hands vigorously, and kept backing away.

"Zhengnan, this mission is not for you!" Nini pulled Zhengnan forward and looked at Xiaoxin.

"Xiao Xin, Zhengnan is now in your hands. You must succeed!" Nini looked at Xiao Xin, who shuddered and said quickly, "Yes!"

After whispering in Zhengnan's ear for a while, Zhengnan's face suddenly turned red with shame, and he looked at everyone in embarrassment, but then he thought of Nini beside him, gritted his teeth, and followed Xiaoxin's method, walking forward with a shaky step. When he arrived in front of the boss's shop, he suddenly held his forehead and fell to the ground with a cry.

Seeing this, Xiaoxin ran out immediately, helped Zhengnan up, and shouted, "Zhengnan, Zhengnan, what's wrong with you?" While shouting, he put his ear close to Zhengnan, as if he heard something, and continued to shout, "What, you are so hungry and want to eat sweet potatoes? Oh, I wonder if there is any kind boss who will give you four or five sweet potatoes~" As he said this, he looked at the boss behind him.

Mingxu slapped his forehead. As expected, this kid had no good solution. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what you were planning.

"Haha, little brother, if you promote my store for me, I can consider giving you some roasted sweet potatoes." The store owner was amused by Shin-chan and his friends' acting skills. He said to Shin-chan with a smile, and turned to look at the people standing next to the telephone pole.

Mingxu walked over with the other two people, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Xiao Xu, what are you doing today?" The owner obviously knew Mingxu and joked with a smile.

"These children want to be self-reliant. Please give them a chance." Mingxu smiled at the shop owner.

"Okay, then you guys can promote it for me together." The owner nodded.

"Xiao Xu, do you know the boss?" The others were stunned.

"I often come here to buy groceries." Mingxu said simply.

So everyone started promoting the store in front of the owner's door, saying how good the dishes were, what dishes they were suitable for making, etc. A lot of housewives saw that there were so many children promoting the store, so they came over curiously to check it out, and then bought a lot of dishes under the owner's persuasion.

With everyone's help, the owner quickly sold out most of the vegetables he wanted to sell today. When they parted, the owner handed a big bag of sweet potatoes to Mingxu and said to everyone, "This is a reward for you."

"Thank you, boss~" everyone said in unison.

After receiving the sweet potatoes, everyone prepared to find a place to roast them. After finding an open space, Mingxu divided the tasks among the people. Fengjian happened to pass by after class and joined the group when he saw everyone.

After finally finding all the wood for roasting the sweet potatoes and digging a hole, everyone was stunned.

At first, Mingxu said he would light the fire himself, but the others shook their heads, saying they needed an adult to light it, as it was too dangerous for a child to do so. Mingxu was helpless, and everyone dispersed to look for people who were willing to help, but they were not far away and could be heard if they shouted.

"Hmm? Isn't that Mr. Matsusaka?" Mingxu looked around and suddenly found a person with a bag on his back. He looked familiar. Isn't this Mr. Matsusaka dressed up? It seems to be the end of the month now. So, she is going to the department store for food tasting~

Thinking of this, Mingxu called the others and told them that he had found the person. He asked them to go back and prepare, and he would bring people there immediately. After that, he walked towards Teacher Matsusaka.

"Song..." Before I could finish my words, I heard a familiar voice from the side: "Amei~"

"Don't call me Mei!" Mr. Matsusaka complained subconsciously, but turned around and saw that it was Xiaoxin and Mingxu, and shook his head: "What's the matter with you?"

"I need your help in making a fire. The reward is a roasted sweet potato. Are you willing?" Mingxu quickly covered Xiaoxin's mouth when Xiaoxin was about to speak. God knows when this kid's concentration has improved again. He didn't even notice it.

"Ah? You want to roast sweet potatoes. Children, please be careful. Leave this to me." Teacher Matsusaka came over with confusion, and then she completely understood what these children were thinking. She patted her chest and said that she was not attracted by the roasted sweet potatoes.

With the help of adults, the fire was quickly lit. Then it was time to roast the sweet potatoes. Everyone waited until the wood was almost extinguished and then used wooden sticks to turn the sweet potatoes out of the ashes.

Teacher Matsusaka handed one to each person and said, "Be careful, it's hot." Then they picked up the portion that Mingxu promised them and started eating it happily.

"Sure enough, eating roasted sweet potatoes is the best." Everyone exclaimed.

Mingxu looked at them and smiled. This could be considered a meaningful activity. They had more or less understood that life was not something that could be gained without hard work and that only rewards could be obtained through hard work.
