Shinchan: The Cooking God in here!

After walking out of the cafe, Asuka didn't see Misty Nohara. She couldn't help but touch her pocket and took out the money inside.

After counting, Asuka found that she now had thirty-four thousand yuan.

The system distributed a total of 4,000 yuan, and the remaining 30,000 yuan was the cafe's gratitude for her help.

Thinking about it this way, the owner of the cafe is really quite generous.

Asuka carefully put the money back into her pocket. She raised her head and looked at the nearby streets.

Residents of all kinds walked in a hurry, carrying bags of various sizes in their hands, with no special expressions on their faces. From time to time, the promotional sounds of various shops could be heard in their ears, adding a touch of warm fireworks to the indifferent streets.

"Oh, isn't this sister Asuka?"

Just as Asuka was looking at the nearby scenery, a familiar and gentle female voice suddenly sounded.

Asuka looked back and found that it was Kazama's mother, Meiko Kazama.

She quickly said hello: "Sister Meiko."

"Asuka, why are you here?" Meiko Kazama thought of the scene where Asuka appeared on the first day. She felt that the other party did not seem to be familiar with the streets of Kasukabe. Now seeing Asuka standing alone on the street, it was difficult not to think too much.

"Sister Misty went to the department store to rush shopping. Because there were too many people inside, she asked me to wait outside," Asuka explained.

"So that's it."

Meiko Kazama nodded in understanding, then paused for a moment, saw the cafe not far away, thought for a while, and then said:

"Asuka, let's not stand here waiting. I see there is a cafe over there. Let's go there."

Asuka looked in the direction of the other person's finger and found that it was the room where she had just helped...

"No need, Sister Meiko, I came out of that cafe just now. There seems to be something wrong with the chef inside today, and he is temporarily unable to receive customers."

"Is that so? Okay then..." Meiko Kazama glanced at the cafe again and felt a little strange when she saw the enjoying customers inside.

"Eh? Isn't this Mrs. Kazama?"

Just when Meiko Kazama felt that she couldn't figure it out, Misty Nohara finally appeared, dragging large and small bags of the things she had snapped up.

"Mrs. Nohara." Meiko Kazama came back to her senses and said hello.

Misty Nohara nodded to the other party, and then looked at Asuka: "Asuka, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting so long. I didn't expect that there were so many people coming to participate in the discount promotion today, so it wasted so much time."

Facing Misty Nohara's apologetic eyes, Asuka Shimizu shook her head and said she didn't mind.

...

After a while, Asuka Shimizu, Misty Nohara, and Meiko Kazama walked together towards the Nohara family...

The three of them were walking on the road, chatting one after another...

Meiko Kazama: The weather is really nice today...

Misty Nohara: Yes, it's good weather for washing clothes.

Misty Nohara: Asuka, do you really not want to eat outside? You are already very tired...

Meiko Kazama (enduring her heartache): Yes, Asuka, why not just... eat outside? Although it will definitely not be as delicious as yours.

Asuka Shimizu: It's okay, I'm not tired. In the past, I had to do a lot of cooking training every day to ensure my skills. Now I just cook a few meals, which is very easy.

After hearing Asuka Shimizu's description, Misty Nohara and Meiko Kazama invariably pictured Asuka wearing a chef's hat, dancing with a kitchen knife and chopping vegetables crazily.

The two immediately stopped persuading her and just explained that they would also help cook together.

After all, Asuka Shimizu's cooking skills are really good. As long as they could satisfy their greed, they could also learn a few tricks while cooking together.

About ten minutes later, the three of them arrived at the Nohara house.

Opening the door, Misty Nohara took off her shoes and entered the kitchen carrying large and small bags of discounted products, ready to sort them out.

Asuka and Meiko Kazama followed closely behind, and they came to the living room to sit down together. Asuka reached for the teapot on the side and found that there was no water in it. She thought about it and said to Meiko:

"Sister Meiko, do you want to drink black tea or the honey grapefruit tea I made?"

Meiko Kazama said without thinking: "Let's have honey grapefruit tea."

Asuka nodded, got up, and went to the kitchen. She saw Misty Nohara sorting out several large bags of items on the table. When she was hesitating whether to help, the system in her mind spoke again:

"Hey, release a temporary mission!"

"Task content: Help Misty Nohara organize her belongings, time limit is ten minutes."

"Task reward: Misty Nohara's favorability +1, bonus 1,000 yuan."

The sudden announcement of the mission information made Asuka pause for a moment. She seemed not to have seen anything. She said hello to Misty Nohara, then stood up and opened the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator and took out the chilled honey yuzu tea.

Then she returned to the living room, knelt down, and poured a cup of tea for Meiko Kazama: "Sister Meiko, please."

Meiko Kazama politely took the honey yuzu tea from Asuka. Because it felt a little cold, she just took a small sip.

The sweet and sour tea with a hint of grapefruit aroma stimulated her taste buds. The strong taste swept away the bitterness in her mouth, and the fatigue caused by shopping was also dissipated in the cool taste.

"It tastes good!" Meiko Kazama raised her head happily. Just when she was about to praise Asuka, she found that she had disappeared.

At this time, Asuka had returned to the kitchen, standing next to Misty Nohara, ready to help organize (complete the task) together.

"Asuka? Go and have a rest first. After I finish sorting these things, we can start cooking." Misty Nohara saw Asuka coming back. She thought she couldn't wait to cook, so she tried to persuade her.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not leave. Instead, she reached out and put the minced meat on the table into the refrigerator.

Misty Nohara understood, but she was not particularly embarrassed to bother Asuka with housework right now, so she hurriedly said: "Hey! Asuka, go and have a rest. I'll be here."

"It's okay. There are too many things. It's faster to sort them out together."

Asuka's face showed no expression, but her hands did not stop. She sorted the mushrooms and other vegetables she had bought and put them in the refrigerator.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Misty didn't say anything more and instead focused on organizing things. At the same time, her heart felt warm, and she was in a good mood.

[Hey! Misty's favorability +1, the current favorability is 78! When the character's favorability reaches 90, the theater version of the plot will start. Host, please keep up the good work!]

Theater version? Asuka continued organizing while thinking about the information just revealed by the system.

For Asuka, who was once a system consciousness, her understanding of a theater version was still an extended special episode of daily life. In other words, she perceived it as a special plot.

As she continued packing and contemplating, the system marked the word "special" in the notification.

But Asuka no longer paid attention. After putting the last green pepper in the refrigerator, she smiled at Misty and said, "Sister Misty, everything is sorted. Let's go to the living room."

Misty nodded. "Okay, let's sort it out together with Shinchan. It'll be quicker that way."

The two walked to the living room and found Kazama drinking tea. When he saw them coming over, he quickly put down the cup and said a little embarrassedly:

"Ah, the honey yuzu tea made by Asuka tastes so good—I accidentally drank too much."

"If you like it, Sister Kazama, I can give you the recipe later."

"Oh, is that really okay?" Kazama's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Asuka expectantly.

Asuka shook her head slightly. "It's no trouble at all. It's nothing important."

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Shinchan!"

"Sister Kazama, you're too polite."

The three of them sat around the kotatsu, chatting. The late autumn sunlight was warm but not blinding. The leaves on the trees outside the window had withered and turned yellow, rustling in the bleak wind, like a sorrowful melody bidding farewell to life—tinged with a beautiful yet tragic sense of melancholy.

The honey yuzu tea on the table had been finished. The three of them stood up simultaneously. The sweet and sour tea was refreshing and appetizing, and combined with the energy they had expended along the way, they were already feeling hungry. After a brief discussion, they headed into the kitchen.

"Shinchan, what are you making for lunch today? Is it still Chinese cuisine?" Misty asked curiously as Asuka took out the fish and chicken she had just bought from the refrigerator.

Hearing this, Kazama also stood aside curiously, waiting for Asuka's response.

Asuka placed the chicken and fish aside to defrost and answered, "Yes, it's Chinese cuisine, and it's also a very flavorful dish—chicken pot."

"Chicken pot?" Kazama and Misty were both stunned. They had never heard of it or tasted it before, but they trusted Asuka's cooking skills.

"What about this fish? Chicken stew should be made from chicken, but what about this fish? Does the chicken stew also need fish meat?" Kazama asked curiously while lifting the fish by the tail.

At that moment, Asuka was putting the chicken in the microwave to defrost. Without thinking, she responded to Kazama's question: "This will be made into fish balls."

"Handmade fish balls?!" Misty and Kazama exchanged surprised looks—they hadn't expected Asuka to make something so complicated.

Meanwhile, Asuka had already taken out all the side dishes and seasonings needed for the chicken pot and started preparing the ingredients.

Misty and Kazama didn't remain idle either. One cut the green peppers into sections as instructed, while the other handled the potatoes.

All three of them were competent in the kitchen, so the prep work went by quickly. In less than ten minutes, all the ingredients on the counter had been properly prepared.

Asuka glanced at the neatly processed ingredients and then turned to Misty and Kazama. "Sister Misty, Sister Kazama, all the prep work is done. If you two are tired, you can rest in the guest room…"
