When we were kids, we all loved watching Doraemon, and no, we did it until we grew up.
Chao hopes that he also has a robot cat's pocket, and when he encounters difficulties, he can find a treasure that solves the problem by rummaging through the pocket.
Recently, I discovered a "magic snack shop" where as long as you eat her snacks, your troubles can be solved.
For example, mermaid gummy, eat it, even people who can't swim can become swimmers.
For example, the charm sandwich chocolate, eating it will become charming, become the focus of people's pursuit and worship.
For example, Mozart's music cookies, after eating it, can become a musical genius without having to practice hard.
For example, guess the can, eat it to know what questions will be out of tomorrow's exam, and the scum must be learned.
There are also many strange and magical snacks:
Wishing Shellfish, Dark Night Cocktail Juice, Fortune Cat Mochi, Beast Biscuits, Haunted Ice Cream, Cooking Tree, Freshly Fished Sea bream, Mummy Lemonade, Brother Balls, Wrinkled Plum, Wolf Buns, Tooth Decay Cake, Cheating Rice Cake, Goblin Chocolate Egg, Tit-for-Tat Picture...
If given to you, would you dare to eat it?

"Magic Dim Sum Shop" is a set of fantasy children's literature from Japan, called "Money Paradise" in Japan, which is widely loved by children.
Since its publication in 2013, more than 3.5 million copies have been sold in Japan alone in just a few years.

On Amazon Japan, it took three firsts:

For a while, sales even exceeded the Harry Potter series.
It's about a dim sum shop called Money Heaven, which sells all kinds of magical dim sum that can be eaten to solve your troubles.
Another line is another dim sum shop, Hapless Hall, which specializes in dim sum for bad things. As a result, the owners of the two dim sum shops launched a showdown between good and evil because of their completely different ideas...
The magical snacks they sell also make the guests embark on an incredible adventure.
Let's take a look at a story and intuitively feel it:
The fifth story of book 3, "New Semester Wishing Shelle", is called "Brother Maruko".
Xiaoming's family has four siblings, and he is in the fifth grade. There are twin sisters in the third grade and a six-year-old younger brother. He was the eldest in the family, but he was very unhappy.
Because his parents asked him to let his younger brothers and sisters in everything, he was robbed of snacks, he couldn't complain about playing games and being beaten, and he had to help his sister go to the library to return books. If he did something wrong, his parents would scold him, but he would never scold his younger siblings.
He felt that this was very unfair, he wanted to become the youngest child in the family, so that he did not have to take on any responsibilities, did not need to let others, and could still be loved by his parents.
One day, he was lucky enough to buy a string of "brother balls" in "Money Heaven", there were four balls, marked with the serial number 1234, as long as he first ate the balls with the serial number 4, and then gave the other balls to his younger siblings to eat, then he could become the youngest child in the family.
But when he eats the pills and becomes the youngest child in the family, will he become happy?
Not really!
Because he found that although everyone was very fond of him, good food and fun were given to him first, but because he was the youngest, he also had the least freedom and choice.
He would be chased by his parents every day to feed him, and he could not go anywhere, and he would be watched wherever he went. Can't buy new stationery, can only use the leftovers of my sisters, pocket money is much less, and I can't watch my favorite horror stories.
You see, there are two sides to everything.
In the end, Xiaoming regretted it, and he wanted to be the boss, but the "money paradise" disappeared after selling him snacks, and he could never find it again.
So what can be done?
Just when he was discouraged, his brother brought a plate of "rice noodles", the surface of which was covered with sugar, looking ordinary.
But Xiaoming's heart beat at the sight of it, and he had a feeling that his soul was about to be sucked in, exactly the same as when he saw the "Brother Pill".
After inquiry, I learned that my brother's plate of "rice noodles" was actually bought in "Money Heaven", and it turned out that my brother had the same troubles as him, and my brother did not want to be a younger brother.
Before his brother could explain, Xiaoming devoured the plate of "rice noodles".
He had thought that these rice noodles could eliminate the effectiveness of "brother pills", but who knows, this plate of "rice noodles" is actually "shift rice noodles", a kind of snack that changes roles every day.
Because Xiaoming ate the whole plate, he became his brother back the next day, but on the third day, he became his mother, on the fourth day, he became the sister of the twins, and on the fifth day, he became a father and had to go to work early in the morning...
Is this ending, you say, too unexpected?
The most fascinating thing about this set of books is that you never know what the ending is without seeing the end.
First of all, the "Money Heaven" store is not fixed in a certain place, but out of nowhere, and only lucky guests who own a certain coin can enter money heaven.
Lucky guests with specific coins
Secondly, even if you buy a magical snack, it is not a good thing to eat.
"Money Heaven" sells dim sum, just to provide a chance for lucky guests to solve their troubles and fulfill their wishes, but in the end, whether they can get their wishes and get real happiness depends on how the guests eat this snack.
Each snack has strict rules for taking, if you do not carefully read the instructions, you can not resist the temptation to eat, you will be unlucky.
Earlier, Xiaoming did not understand the eating method of "Jiang rice noodles" and devoured it all, and he could not change himself back.
Like the eating method mentioned in "Beast Biscuits", the protagonist is required to eat the biscuits in the shape of a beast trainer first, and then eat other beast-shaped biscuits, so that he can first have the ability to train orcs and make the beasts obedient. If you eat in the wrong order, you will be attacked by the beast.
As we read each story, we can discuss with our children: If it were you, what would you choose?
We can also tell our children: "The next time you enter money heaven, remember to choose carefully and be brave enough to take responsibility." ”
Because when entering the money paradise, children are like standing at a fork in the road, they stand at the same "lucky" origin, but because of different choices, they eventually lead to luck or misfortune, "a fraction of a centimeter, a thousand miles".
Every little choice is a secret highlight moment for ordinary children, guiding them to become different adults.
For example, "Wolf Buns" in book 4 tells such a story.
The protagonist, Yosuke, was originally a weak child and was often bullied by other boys.
He was lucky enough to come to money heaven and sold a "wolf bun", after which he had the power to be as powerful as a wolf.
When the boys came to bully him again, Yosuke fought back against them, and no one dared to come to him for trouble again. Not only that, but the people who had bullied him before began to circle around him.
Soon, Yosuke becomes the new "bad boy", he turns out to be the person he once hated the most, and he begins to bully others with the boys.
After a while, he found that he had grown wolf hair on his body, and if he did not control his power and continued to use violence, the beast nature of the wolf bun would swallow humanity and turn him into a real wolf.
Yosuke realized his mistake, and he suddenly figured out what kind of person he wanted to be. In the end, he gave up the power of wolf steamed buns and became an ordinary person.
Not only is he an ordinary person, but he also has to rely on his own strength to help those who have difficulties.
From being bullied to bullying others to finally helping others, Yosuke actually completed a personal growth.
This is also another charm of "Magic Snack Shop", under the surface of the fantasy story, there is also a hidden discussion of truth, goodness and beauty, and thinking about human nature and growth.
