In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1342 The Way of Hospitality, The Ryotei Chapter

Ryotei, or Japanese restaurants, are restaurants specializing in high-end island and provincial cuisine, and are also important venues for local working professionals to entertain clients during important occasions. Today, we'll explain the etiquette and techniques for entertaining clients at ryotei.

Then the scene shifts, and Hiroshi appears with two little ones dressed in suits. Sitting opposite them is none other than Masao.

"Ah, it's a real honor to meet you today." Hiroshi said, noticing the other person's somewhat embarrassed expression.

Masao, representing Sato Trading Company, nodded: "Hmm, this restaurant is quite nice."

"Today, I'll let you all have a good taste of the dishes I recommended," Shin-chan said, clapping his hands. Then a voice came: "Excuse me, sorry to bother you." Immediately afterward, Nini pushed open the door and placed a food box on the table with a strained expression. Everyone couldn't help but worry that she would knock it over.

"Here are some baked cookies, cookie broth, and cookie sashimi for everyone." After saying that, these items were placed in front of each person. Mingxu's lips twitched. Goodness, Shin-chan is really outrageous since he became the head of the trading company.

However, he didn't say anything. After all, here, his position was actually lower than Shin-chan's—just vice president—and he vaguely knew that Shin-chan was now backed by the Sootome Trading Company.

"Wow, you actually made cookies and sashimi! Not bad!" Shin-chan looked at Nene beside him and nodded in satisfaction.

"Next, we'll be serving boiled cookies, and even live cookies!" Nini said, then turned and left.

Mingxu was a little confused. He could understand boiling cookies, but what was this "live cookies"?

But since Nini had already left, Mingxu could only keep his thoughts to himself for the time being.

Hiroshi looked at Shin-chan with a hint of helplessness: "Um, little biscuits, shouldn't we normally serve fish instead?"

"No, cookies are the real gourmet treat! This cookie sashimi is my favorite!" Zheng Nan said happily as he picked up a cookie.

"...It's just a regular cookie, isn't it?" Hiroshi muttered under his breath.

Mingxu shrugged. "Kids just like eating this stuff."

As Zheng Nan spoke, he demonstrated, "It's best to just dip it in a tiny bit of soy sauce!"

"Is it really suitable?" Hiroshi's lips twitched. This is outrageous.

"Nohara, please serve that to President Masao before you eat," Shin-chan said, looking at Hiroshi.

"Huh? Is it that?" Hiroshi was a little uncertain.

"Stop asking, just get it!" Xiaoxin said irritably, then looked at Mingxu and they nodded to each other. Mingxu silently turned his head away.

Having no other choice, Hiroshi hurriedly went to Masao's side and said, "Please forgive my rudeness." With that, Hiroshi stretched out his hands.

"Oh, please don't treat me like a regular 5-year-old." As he said this, Zheng Nan also opened his arms.

"Let's begin!" With that, Hiroshi picked up Masao and started playing high in the air.

Wow~ That's awesome, awesome~

"So high, so high~" Hiroshi said as he lifted him up.

Mingxu looked to the other side. This so-called way of hospitality—are you sure it's not for entertaining children? The basics of hospitality are just praising the other person to the skies—it's outrageous! Come to think of it, so far, the only adult I've seen is Hiroshi!

"Haha, that's a really high and impressive technique, not bad at all, you've got a knack for it." After being put down, Masao wiped his sweat and praised Hiroshi's performance.

"Thank you so much for the compliment." Hiroshi nodded calmly. At Shin-chan's prompting, Akira picked up a drink from the side: "Here, President Masao, have a Bixue!"

"Oh my, that was so refreshing!" Zheng Nan nodded in satisfaction after finishing his drink.

"Wow~ What a great capacity for alcohol!" Hiroshi clapped and cheered, while Shin-chan grinned from the side.

"By the way, President Masao will definitely be watching a dance performance at the ryotei, right?" Shin-chan said again, looking at Masao after finishing his drink.

"Yes, that's what I mean." Zheng Nan nodded.

Hiroshi was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, Minister, you've arranged this kind of program?"

Mingxu turned his head again; he didn't want to say what the program was. Originally, some geishas were supposed to perform dances in the room, but here...

Watching Shin-chan go up and dance with a fan tucked in his sleeve, Mingxu shrugged. He knew it would turn out like this. But why did he end up in this place for no reason?

"He actually chose to go on stage and dance a bit himself... What on earth is the captain doing?" Hiroshi looked helplessly at Shin-chan, then turned his head, and lo and behold, the vice-captain had also turned his head. It seemed he knew and couldn't stand it anymore.

"Waaah~" A sobbing sound came from inside. Hiroshi was startled, and when he turned around, good heavens, Masao was actually crying: "He's crying..."

The joyful meal came to an end, and as the water in the courtyard made a thumping sound, mischief was about to quietly begin.

"And so we've come to this again."

"Speaking of ryotei, of course we have to do some bad things!"

"Ah, no, no, no way! You guys watch too many TV dramas. This is a place to eat!" Hiroshi waved his hands repeatedly.

"I've heard that you really want to sign a contract with our company. What should we do then?" Masao looked at Hiroshi and threatened him slightly.

"Of course, we've prepared something to make President Masao look especially good~" Shin-chan added gloomily from the side.

"You mean the golden-yellow steamed buns, right?"

"Hahaha~" The two little ones burst into laughter. Mingxu felt like he couldn't keep up with their pace. What were they saying?

"Are you going to offer bribes? That's not a good idea..." Hiroshi said cautiously, looking at the two little ones.

"Please don't be so old-fashioned, okay? As long as you don't say anything, no one will know!" As he spoke, a sound came from the ceiling above.

"Who is there!"

"If you hear any noise from the ceiling, just stab upwards like this, and the ninja will appear!" After watching Shin-chan poke the ceiling and then see A-Dai's figure appear, Mingxu rolled his eyes. Goodness, that's really something.

“…Idiot.” Mingxu’s lips twitched again as he looked at the ninja who had appeared. You guys really know how to play games.

"Damn it, who sent these pancakes?!"

"He's a spy, isn't he?"

"Hey, grab him!" the kids shouted. Ah-Dai threw down a smoke bomb and slipped away through the door in the chaos. Ming-Xu watched this scene calmly, then waited for the smoke to dissipate before pretending to cough. "Cough cough, where is he? He's gone!"

"Gone!"

"Never mind, President Masao, it's very cold today, so put the hand warmer in your sleeve." Shin-chan handed Masao a hand warmer.

"That's not right, is it? I wanted a bribe package." Zheng Nan shook his head casually, then looked at Xiao Xin and laughed again. Xiao Xin looked at Ming Xu, who calmly took out a box and handed it to Zheng Nan.

"That's right, that's right, this is it!" Zheng Nan nodded in satisfaction upon seeing the box.

"Wait, could there be money hidden inside?" Hiroshi said nervously.

Since ancient times, bribes have typically been hidden under a steamed bun before being handed to the recipient.

However, when the box was opened, it contained marbles and a maze.

Shin-chan looked at Masao: "Then please carry this marble to the finish line."

“These days, maze games are more popular than loop maze games,” Mingxu said calmly, looking at Guangzhi. “Don’t bring adult ideas into the children’s lives.”

"..." Hiroshi's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but nod.

"This is so much fun! You've given me something this fun. Looks like we have no choice but to sign a contract with your company." Zheng Nan nodded in satisfaction as he played with the item.

Hiroshi was excited: "Then please sign this contract." With that, Hiroshi handed over a contract signed with Shin-chan's name.

"Wait a minute. I am the president of our rival company, Kazama Technology. My name is Kazama Toru! President Masao, please take a look at the maze our company has created!" With that, Kazama walked in through the door and took out a 3D maze.

"Wow~ This is so exquisite!" As expected, Zheng Nan was captivated by the maze in front of him.

"No, wait a minute, where did you come from? Nohara-sama, you should say something too!" Hiroshi became nervous, but when he turned around, his own president had joined in.

"..." For a moment, Hiroshi was completely speechless, and could only look at Kazama and say with a forced smile, "President Masao has already agreed to let us sign a contract with the company!"

"You're too naive. In business, the side with the best conditions always wins! That's what business is all about!" Kazama said, looking at Masao with a smug expression.

"Hmm, this is a problem." Zheng Nan stroked his chin.

Mingxu clapped his hands, and Nini came out again: "Let our store handle this problem!"

"Huh? A waiter?"

"But will you really handle this fairly?" Kazama looked at Nini uncertainly.

"Of course, you can use boulders to decide the winner."

"I see, so we'll use jumping stones?" Zheng Nan nodded in agreement.

The gardens of ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurants) exist precisely for resolving disputes physically! Each ryotei has its own unique features, including what kind of contests can be held in the garden.

"Really?" Hiroshi was speechless. Then he saw Shin-chan calmly sitting with Masao. He turned his head and realized, well, this time it was the vice-captain's turn.

Mingxu quickly returned to the starting point.

Kazama returned to his original spot looking dejected. However, although he failed, everyone played even more happily. Hiroshi watched the group of children playing hide-and-seek and couldn't help but start to wonder if there might be problems with the company.
