The strongest Takikage

Chapter 71 New Year's Ceremony

During the Warring States period, there were no New Year festivals, let alone New Year's sayings. The ninjas were so busy fighting and killing that they couldn't even remember the time, let alone the civilians who struggled to maintain food and clothing.

Because there are many families in Konoha, the form of the New Year's Festival in the past few years is similar to that of the big family, except that the last activity of worshiping the ancestors is removed, while Yanyin is a so-called "town and village village". Stone" held a banquet.

Referring to the New Year festivals held by Konoha and Iwain in recent years, Liuli came up with his own set of plans.

The characteristic of Takigakure is that there are not many families, and ninjas are put into production, so there is basically no barrier between civilians and ninjas, and they get along very well. Therefore, Takigakushi's New Year festival must fully involve both ninjas and civilians.

In fact, it is easy to say, to enjoy the fun with the people, Liuli only needs to interact with the villagers in person.

Liuli persuaded Ono to make a large amount of sushi in advance. As a feature of Takigakure, the name of Sukiya has spread far and wide. Many nobles from the Taki Country come here to taste it, and caravans from other countries will always have a few meals here.

Due to the large influx of foreigners in the village during the New Year festival, Ono's sushi must not be able to satisfy the stomachs of so many people. The other bosses on Longyin Commercial Street also prepared dishes in advance under Liuli's notice.

In terms of food, entertainment activities are naturally indispensable.

Liuli specially asked skilled craftsmen to knead dolls with cement, and then painted them with colors to make them into legendary figures in previous lives. With the popularity of puppet dramas, characters such as Luffy, Shanks, and Zoro gradually become known , is more popular among commoners than ordinary ninjas.

All civilians can throw kunai in front of a wall, as long as kunai hits the target marked with the name, they can get the corresponding figure. In addition to the characters in the puppet play, Liuli also secretly made his own image For figure.

There are daily attires wearing Takikage hats and royal gowns, as well as strong attire for battles. What Liuli is most satisfied with is the figurine of the unicorn attacking the fortress. It is very powerful. He is not narcissistic. To be the shadow of a village, one needs to make one's stalwart image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Considering the respect for the other Five Kages, Liuli specially made several Five Kage figures to distribute, and the highest reward of this game is the figure of the scene of the Six Kages meeting, where the Six Kages and their guards signed the peace agreement , announcing the arrival of an era of peace.

Liuli's heart is itching to look at this figure, and I took a set home and treasured it on the first day it was made.

In addition to various small games, the puppet show also has New Year's festival performances, and the arrangements are generally completed.

A week later, the three-day New Year Festival officially began. Liuli walked around the street first. Maybe it was because of the first day that the festive atmosphere was not strong, but from the second day on, after people got used to it, the stores Places and game venues have become very popular.

On the night of the second day, Liuli personally held a Takiyin Village Survival Competition, a grand competition with thousands of people. Surprisingly, a combination of a Jonin and three civilians finally ate the chicken.

The words "good luck, eat chicken tonight" also herald the prosperity and development of Takihime's chicken industry, and it won't be long before everyone has chicken to eat.

The newly opened casino in Jiaodu made a lot of money in this competition. He was so happy that he didn't fall asleep for several days. The gambling tools drawn by the lottery were also used. If the limit is exceeded, most of the losers are foreign businessmen, and these profiteers make money for nothing.

The three days are not long or short, some people who are not well-informed came to Longyin Village, and regretfully found that the New Year Festival is coming to an end.

During the three days, the prices of various shops were greatly reduced, and the losses were all borne by Liuli herself. The expenses were not small, and this part of the money would naturally have to be made up from other places.

And now these businessmen who have heard the news from all directions are fat sheep for him to make up for the shortfall.

A dozen or so heads of large chambers of commerce sat around a table, and on the table was a large pot filled with boiling broth.

Hot pot, this thing is the only normal food that Liuli, who has mastered dark cooking skills, can develop. The steaming hot pot is especially comfortable to eat in winter.

"I'm very glad that you all came to Longyin Village. I hope to deepen cooperation in the future. Come, let's eat first." Liuli said, and the waiter at the side brought one plate after another.

Looking at the steaming pot, the leaders of several chambers of commerce were at a loss. Given their many years of experience in the business world, they had never seen such a situation, so the shadow of a village would personally invite them to dinner?
They are indeed rich, but these master ninjas with peerless strength can snatch away the wealth they have accumulated for a lifetime by raising their hands in a matter of minutes.

"Don't you know how to eat? Come, learn from me."

Liuli smiled and picked up the green vegetables on the plate, put them into the hot pot, and they were cooked in a short while, and she ate them with relish, she must be kind, these people are fat sheep who give money!
The others subconsciously imitated Liuli's movements, put the food on the plate in front of them into the pot to cook, and then began to eat.

"This is so delicious, the softness of the cabbage is infused with the umami of the broth, and it melts in the mouth!"

"The taste itself is incredible in this way of eating, and it makes people want to take another bite."

"Delicious and juicy fillings, plus fragrant skin, a perfect match, and more importantly, without losing any flavor, the cooking time is perfectly controlled."

"This kind of refreshing taste should be sweet potato, and it has a slightly burnt taste when paired with the broth. It is simply the best!"

The wealthy merchants are indeed the most food-oriented group of people in the ninja world except for the big nobles, and they quickly feasted on it, but...these things, cabbage?Taro?cucumber?
The dishes on the table don't seem to be crops that should appear in winter!On weekdays, the radishes that are easy to preserve for a long time are the most eaten during the winter, or the extremely dry ones. How can these be as refreshing as freshly picked ingredients? !

"It's easy to get angry after eating hot pot, why don't you eat some fruit!"

Liuli looked at Zhenfang Zhunaka who couldn't put down his chopsticks, and Zhenfang immediately summoned a waiter pushing a small cart.

The cart is full of plump watermelons.

"There are no other fruits for the time being, only these watermelons, let's treat them as dessert!"

Liuli hugged the watermelon that had been cut in half, picked up the spoon and ate it in big mouthfuls, regardless of her appearance.

"Watermelon?" The merchant not only smelled the fragrance of the melon, but also saw the rich juice flowing out.

Really watermelon.
Really watermelon.
All of a sudden, besides being shocked, many people couldn’t help salivating. Those vegetables can also be explained as being stored for a long time. After all, there are vegetables that can be stored for a long time in cold places, but this watermelon no the same!
Watermelon is only ripe in summer, not to mention ripe in other seasons, it is difficult to grow, and it is extremely difficult to preserve. Even wealthy businessmen have never tasted it for half a year!

At this time, Liuli cut open a watermelon in front of their eyes, and it tasted so delicious, it was really... an indescribable feeling.
Liuli stopped the spoon in her hand and asked the waiter to hand out a melon: "Taste all of them."

"Gulu Gulu." Accompanied by the sound of swallowing, a businessman couldn't help but said, "Master Takikage, is this melon ripe?"

　It’s Friday again, the wishing is strong, and the collection is growing too slowly. Fortunately, everyone’s votes are comforting, and please continue to support the development of the village in the new year
