In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

"Oh. Is there something you need?" the headmaster asked, looking at the other person with a puzzled expression.

"Is this your bicycle?" the man asked the park director directly.

“It’s mine, that’s right. Is there a problem?” The headmaster asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Who are you?" the man asked warily, looking at the park director.

"Um, I'm the principal of Futaba Kindergarten," the principal said honestly.

"The headmaster?" Looking at his face, the uncle was extremely suspicious.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" the headmaster asked again.

"This is very suspicious!" The policeman looked at the headmaster's face and became even more wary.

As a result, the kindergarten director was taken in for questioning.

After some time, the principal, exhausted, pushed his bicycle back into the kindergarten.

"Oh dear~ the business inquiry took too long, so there wasn't time to go to other supermarkets... Oh~ Ah! I remember now, there might be glutinous rice in the disaster relief reserve!" With that, the principal hurriedly went to the kindergarten's warehouse.

After searching inside, the headmaster sighed, "Still nothing..."

Just then, he noticed a piece of equipment on the ground, and his eyes lit up: "It's a bread-making kit... Ah, I've got it!"

So the headmaster came to the yard, looked at the little ones playing, and couldn't help but look up at the sky: "Wow, what a big cloud!"

"Huh?" The little ones were immediately drawn to him and looked up at the sky.

Seeing this, the headmaster continued with his objective: "It looks just like soft, fluffy bread!"

"Bread?" The little ones were taken aback and couldn't help but imagine along with the headmaster.

"Freshly baked, hot bread is so delicious!" Looking at the children's expressions, the principal thought to herself, 'If only the children's anticipation could be changed from mochi to bread!'

Mingxu looked at the headmaster speechlessly. Fortunately, he had just dealt with it with Xiao Ai.

The headmaster, looking at the clouds, continued to guide them: "Look, toast, bread rolls. Over here are cream bread and chocolate spiral bread! Doesn't that look like a sandwich?"

"Ah~ it really does look more and more like bread..."

"It's starting to look more and more like bread, isn't it?" the headmaster continued to coax.

"I love bread the most!" The little ones were unsurprisingly lured over.

“I love bread the most too~” the headmaster nodded in satisfaction.

"The bread is so delicious," Ah-Dai couldn't help but daydream.

"The bread is really delicious~" the headmaster continued to coax.

"Nini really wants to eat bread now." As soon as Nini said this, the headmaster clapped her hands and said, "Then let's make bread today!"

"Agreed!" the little ones immediately agreed.

"So what flavor of bread would you like to eat?"

"Red bean bread!" Zheng Nan exclaimed.

"Jam bread!" Nini exclaimed.

"Croissant!" Kazama exclaimed.

"Creamy toast!" Ah-Dai exclaimed.

"Protruding bread," Shin-chan said with a grin.

"What kind of bread is that?" Masao asked Shin-chan curiously.

"It's a piece of bread that sticks out," Shin-chan said with a grin.

"Um...we can't eat that." The little ones seemed to have thought of something and shook their heads repeatedly.

"What about the protruding mochi?" Shin-chan suddenly changed the subject back to mochi.

"Protruding mochi? What's protruding mochi?" The kids were confused again. Shin-chan started to guide them: "It's mochi that's baked on a stove, and then it bubbles up~"

"Wow~ I really want to eat this~" The little ones were once again swayed by Shin-chan.

"Mochi tastes better when it sticks out!" Kazama agreed.

The headmaster's lips twitched. "No way..."

"I almost changed my mind and went for bread," Zheng Nan suddenly sighed.

"It's turned back into mochi." Ah-Dai nodded.

"Everyone! Do you want to eat some delicious mochi?!" Shin-chan shouted excitedly.

"Agreed!"

"preparation!"

"Mochi!"

"Mochi!"

"QQ Mochi!"

.....

"No way, we finally managed to get them to want some bread..." The principal looked helpless. Shin-chan was just too good.

At that moment, Ms. Yoshinaga came over and said, "We can start pounding mochi soon."

"Ah! Mr. Yoshinaga, what is that?" The principal asked uncertainly as she looked at the steaming food.

"Oh, I'm sorry, the principal isn't here, so... But don't worry, I've already read the instructions carefully!" Ms. Yoshinaga said, taking out Ms. Ageo's book.

"Uh, no, that's not the point right now..." the headmaster said somewhat awkwardly. This isn't glutinous rice.

Mingxu looked at Xiao'ai: "Xiao'ai, how is it?"

"Okay, don't worry, Brother Xiaoxu." Xiao Ai gave an OK sign, then looked at Heiji beside her. Heiji nodded: "It's already on its way."

"Okay." Mingxu nodded.

A delicious aroma wafted out of the steamer.

"Wow~ It smells so good, it's the aroma of glutinous rice!"

"It's actually just ordinary white rice..." The headmaster's lips twitched.

Kazama added, "It's definitely different from regular white rice, isn't it?"

"This is just regular white rice." The headmaster's expression became even more awkward.

Looking at the excited children, he sighed: 'What am I doing? I actually hid the truth from them. These children, so eager for mochi, I tried to deceive them out of fear of them finding out the truth. Now, the only thing I can do for them is to tell them the truth honestly! To sincerely apologize and atone for my sins!' Thinking this, the principal hurriedly looked at everyone, about to speak.

"Wow~" Suddenly a whirlwind came from above, and everyone saw a helicopter slowly landing in the yard. Then a group of men in black carried out a basin of steaming food and placed it aside.

The kindergarten director was also bewildered. What was going on?

"Boss," Mingxu tugged at the headmaster, "Go and receive this; it's steamed glutinous rice."

"Huh? This, Xiaoxu, you?" The headmaster was taken aback, wondering if...

"Don't worry." Mingxu patted the headmaster's leg and laughed, "Xiao Ai and the others deserve credit for this. I just made a suggestion."

"Yes, I understand." The headmaster nodded in agreement.

"And rice too, you can make mochi!" Ms. Matsuzaka suddenly interjected, smiling at the principal.

"Huh?" The headmaster was taken aback, looking at everyone with emotion. Everyone already knew.

Ms. Yoshinaga added with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Principal, Mingxu and Xiaoai just told us about glutinous rice. We were thinking that even if we tried using regular white rice, we might be able to make some creative desserts."

Mr. Ageo was even more eager to try: "Yes, yes, the essence of pounding mochi lies in strength and intention. No matter what kind of rice we use, we can definitely do it if we work together!"

Although Ms. Matsuzaka still had that arrogant look, she quietly moved her lunchbox to the side: "Hmph, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I'll reluctantly play along with you. But let me make this clear first, don't blame me if you mess this up."

The atmosphere in the courtyard instantly became lively again. The children chattered around the bowl of "special glutinous rice," and Shin-chan jumped up and down with his little wooden mallet in hand: "Great! Great! Today I'm going to make the most delicious 'TuTu Mochi' in the universe!"

Nini, holding Zheng Nan's hand, fantasized: "Maybe mochi made with white rice would be chewier, and we could even add strawberry jam inside!"

Ah-Dai squatted to the side, carefully drawing the shape of mochi on the ground with a twig, as if designing the perfect dessert blueprint.

Looking at the scene before him, the headmaster's eyes welled up with tears. He scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Thank you so much."

Kuroiso had quietly retreated to a corner at some point, giving Ai a "mission accomplished" gesture. Ai secretly winked at Mingxu, and the two little ones smiled at each other before joining the mochi-pounding team.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves and spilled into the courtyard. The thud of the mallet striking the stone mortar, the children's laughter, and the teachers' admonitions mingled together, creating the warmest melody of winter.

After finishing, everyone happily ate the two different kinds of mochi.

Wow, that's really good.

"Yes, both are very good."

"Hehe~"

"It's so delicious, it's melting my heart!"

"It's wonderful to see everyone so happy," the principal said with a smile.

"That means it's all thanks to Xiaoxu and Xiaoai!"

Haha~ Don't say that~

"Delicious!"
