In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

The morning sun shines through the window onto the kitchen counter and yard. Mingxu and Xiaobai come back from morning exercise.

Last night Meiya said that she wanted to make dumplings today but there was no flour at home, so she asked Mingxu to buy some flour when he went out in the morning. When Mingxu passed by the butcher shop, he heard the boss praising the meat he had just received. After thinking about it, he bought some and asked the boss to make minced meat to take back to make dumplings.

After putting the things he bought on the table, Mingxu looked at the rice cooker. It had already started cooking when he left, and the rice porridge was almost done. He took out some pickled radishes from the cupboard and ate them happily. After breakfast, he took out some dog food and poured some for Xiaobai who had been waiting outside for a long time. Xiaobai then started to eat excitedly.

Seeing that the time was almost eight o'clock, Mingxu went into the bedroom and called out to the few people who were still lying in bed.

"Mom, it's eight o'clock. You can get up and prepare the filling for the buns." Mingxu pushed Meiya and said. Last night, it was Meiya who asked her to wake her up around eight in the morning. What's the point of staying in bed now? You can't play like this on the weekend.

Meiya reluctantly stuck her head out from the quilt and looked at her older son who was working seriously. She turned around and saw her younger son who was still sleeping. She sighed silently. If she asked Shin-chan to wake him up, she might have to wake him up later.

"Xiao Xin, get up." Meiya reached out a hand from under the quilt and grabbed Xiao Xin's arm.

"No." Shin-chan turned around, shook off Misae's hand, and continued to sleep.

"Hey, it's you who was clamoring for buns last night, but now you don't want to eat them. Do you still want to eat the buns?" Meiya looked at Xiaoxin and joked.

When he heard the word "baozi", Xiaoxin immediately remembered that yesterday he and Xiaoxu came across a stall selling baozi on the way back. The baozi smelled really good, but when they went up to buy some, they found out with a look of dismay that the boss had already closed the stall. As for the reason, of course, the buns had been sold out. The two went home disappointed. Xiaoxin clamored to eat buns because of this, and that's when he came up with the idea of ​​making buns today.

Xiaoxin immediately stood up, flipped his body in the air, and immediately his pajamas fell off. Mingxu saw this and threw Xiaoxin's clothes over. Xiaoxin rolled over again, and although his pants were not put on properly, he had put on the rest of his clothes.

"That's great, Xiaoxin." Mingxu clapped his hands and said to Xiaoxin, then gave him a thumbs up.

"Come on." Meisai rolled her eyes, stood up and saw Hiroshi, who was still sleeping, rolling his eyes and said to Shin-chan, "Shouldn't the family be neat and tidy?"

"Yes." Shin-chan didn't understand what Mei-ya was thinking and nodded.

"Then you can wake up Dad too." After saying that, he walked into the kitchen and started eating breakfast.

Xiaoxin and Mingxu looked at each other and shrugged. Mingxu pretended not to see it and walked out of the room. After a while, Guangzhi's scream was heard in the room.

"Oh, poor dad." Mingxu shook his head helplessly. He couldn't have a good rest on the weekends, and it was only Guangzhi who was worried.

When Guangzhi saw Shin-chan, he remembered that Misae promised them last night to make buns, and shook his head. This guy saw that he couldn't sleep, so he pulled him up and didn't let him sleep.

But since I'm up, I might as well get up and have breakfast and see how they plan to make dumplings.

In the kitchen, Meiya finished her breakfast and arranged the flour, baking powder and various seasonings one by one, while Xiaoxin finished his meal in a few bites, and then his face was full of curiosity and excitement. Guangzhi looked at them with a smile. He knew Xiaoxin's character very well. This naughty little guy always brought endless laughter to the family. Mingxu quietly mixed a bunch of seasonings, side dishes and meat fillings according to Meiya's instructions, and kept stirring the fillings.

Mei-ya started to teach Shin-chan how to knead dough. She placed the dough on the countertop, pressed it gently, and then began to knead it slowly. As she kneaded, she explained to Shin-chan: "When kneading the dough, you need to use both hands to apply even force, so that the dough will be soft." Shin-chan was eager to try: "I understand!" Seeing that he was so confident, Mei-ya handed a small piece of dough to Shin-chan, and Shin-chan imitated Mei-ya and kneaded it vigorously.

At first, Shin-chan's kneading skills were obviously not good enough. His hands were too strong at one moment and too gentle at another. Flour flew up from time to time, like a small avalanche. Mei-ya looked at Shin-chan's "masterpiece" and was both angry and amused: "Shin-chan, you have to be more careful. This is not a joke."

Feeling that the dough was too wet, Xiaoxin asked Meiya: "Mom, the dough is too sticky, what should I do?"

"Add flour." Mei Ya said casually while kneading the dough. Ming Xu looked at Xiao Xin after hearing this. He felt that this kid was going to do something weird. Sure enough, Xiao Xin grabbed the bag of flour and poured it on the dough. Ming Xu quickly caught the hole and said, "Xiao Xin, are you adding flour or preparing to make new dough?"

"Oh, this isn't my first time~" Xiaoxin started to act coquettishly when seeing this. Mingxu had no choice but to help and left the job of mixing the stuffing to Guangzhi who was watching on the side.

Under Mingxu's patient guidance, Xiaoxin gradually mastered the trick of kneading dough. His hands began to become coordinated, and the dough gradually became smoother under his hands. Seeing Xiaoxin's progress, everyone smiled with satisfaction.

Next is the step of stuffing. Mei-ya prepared two kinds of stuffing, pork and chives, and Shin-chan chose the pork stuffing he liked. He followed Mei-ya's example, rolled the dough into a round shape, and then scooped a spoonful of pork stuffing in the middle. Just as he was about to close the edges, he accidentally put too much stuffing, causing the dough to crack.

"Oh no! It's broken." Xiaoxin exclaimed, and was stunned by the cracked dough. Meiya smiled softly: "Xiaoxin, remember not to put too much stuffing next time." She patiently taught Xiaoxin how to adjust the amount of stuffing and how to better close the edge.

Under Meiya's guidance, Xiaoxin began to try to close the edges. He carefully pinched the dough together, but it was always not tight enough and it broke apart again. Xiaoxin was a little discouraged and slapped his hand on the table: "This must be the dough against me!"

Mei Ya patiently explained, "Xiao Xin, making dumplings requires skills and patience. You have to knead the dough slowly and don't rush." ​​As she spoke, she demonstrated to Xiao Xin how to close the mouth correctly. Ming Xu even stood beside Xiao Xin and showed him how to do it. Xiao Xin looked at the dough that was disobedient in his hands and became obedient in their hands. He immediately puffed up his face and picked up his piece to wrap it again. This time he kneaded the dough more carefully and finally succeeded in closing the mouth of the dumpling! Although the shape was still a little irregular, at least it didn't break again.

Seeing Xiaoxin's progress, Guangzhi also joined in the encouragement: "Xiaoxin is great! Keep working hard and you will definitely get better and better." His affirmation gave Xiaoxin a boost of confidence.

After the first one was formed, Shin-chan seemed to have discovered the door to a new world, always looking for opportunities to make all kinds of strange shapes, from rabbits to dinosaurs. Whenever Mei-ya looked back, she would always see a pile of strangely shaped doughs, and Shin-chan would smile triumphantly.

Soon the buns were wrapped, and Meiya put them in the pot to steam them. As everyone waited anxiously, the fragrance of the buns became stronger and stronger. Finally, the buns were steamed, and the moment they came out of the pot, several people couldn't wait to take them out and eat them.

"Hiss, it's so hot!" Everyone was having a great time while blowing on the steaming buns. Mei Ya also put some good-looking ones on a plate and sent it to the aunt next door. The aunt was so happy when she received it that she couldn't stop smiling.

What a pleasant day.
