You Know Nothing About Pain

After observing, the old man felt relieved, opened the door and turned sideways to give up his seat and said, "It's okay to stay for one night, as for the money or not, it's fine, as long as you don't dislike the broken house."

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it." Naruto was the first to enter the yard with a smile on his face: "Those who travel abroad don't care so much, as long as they have a shelter from the wind and rain."

Then Hase Ryusheng and Kyuubi followed Naruto into the yard.

Inside the door is a very common small farmyard. There is a grape trellis in front of the house, and some vegetables such as garlic sprouts, cucumbers, and eggplants are planted on both sides. There is also a simple chicken coop in the corner of the yard. The hen was pecking at the stones on the ground with her head down.

Naruto looked at the situation in the yard left and right, and kept praising: "Your yard looks good, this cucumber, this eggplant, it looks delicious, there must be a good wife in the house."

Hearing Naruto boasting about his yard, the old man laughed from ear to ear, and hurriedly said modestly: "No, no, it's just my family fooling around. You can see that you are from the city, and you must not like us. from the village."

"I don't agree with that." Naruto on the side showed a disapproving look and said: "What's wrong in the city, among other things, this spacious yard alone is bigger than most houses in the city." When I grow up, you don’t know that the place I lived in back then was so cramped that I couldn’t stretch my legs or move my feet, if I had to choose, I would definitely choose to live here.”

Hearing Naruto's praise, the pores of the old man's comfortable body opened up, as if soaking in a hot spring, he took Naruto's hand and walked into the house.

Ryusheng Hase, who followed behind, showed an astonished expression. He really admired Naruto, and he didn't know where he learned it. No matter who he was talking to, he could switch seamlessly.

I can talk and laugh happily with princes and nobles above [-] people, I can also have a good chat with the old farmer who is as low as dust, I can appreciate the spring and white snow, I don’t dislike the people from the lower Liba, I have the same complexion as usual for delicacies from mountains and seas, and I will never refuse anyone who comes to me.

The only one who didn't feel anything was Kyuubi. He was still looking forward to the taste of the rice cooked in the farmhouse's earthen stove. He was very curious about the smell of fireworks.

Walking through the yard to the main house, the room is not big. The big house in the middle serves as the triple function of the living room, dining room and kitchen. Except for the farm tools in the corner, there is no decent furniture.

An old woman who also looked like she was in her fifties or sixties and was full of kindness was kneeling and sitting by the fire. It seemed that she was preparing to cook porridge with rice. There was a small jar next to it, which should be pickled vegetables or something.

There is also a small door on the left side of the living room, which should be the bedroom used by the family to rest. There is a small gap in the door of the bedroom, and a pair of smart eyes can be seen curiously observing the three "uninvited guests" through the gap. ".

"Come and sit, you're welcome." The old man took away the firewood to make room for the three of them, and at the same time said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Well... our house may not have enough rooms, and we have to be wronged at night You are living in the living room."

"It's okay, it's okay." Naruto smiled and waved his hands, ignoring the dusty floor, sat down and said, "We will be very happy if we have a place to live."

"Evidently you are guests, but I still wrong you to live in the living room." The old man said embarrassingly: "The hospitality is not good..."

"Where is it, old man, we are already very grateful if you let us stay for one night." Naruto said with a sincere expression: "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and these two are Changgu Longsheng and Jiu Lama. I don't know you, old man. Honorable name?"

"Country people, I brought you my first and last name." The old man scratched his hair and said, "My name is Jing Yilang."

After introducing himself, Ichiro pointed to the old woman beside him and said, "This is my wife. You can call her Kazumi."

The old woman named Kazumi smiled kindly at the Naruto trio, then winked at Ichiro who was beside her, and dragged him into a corner to start muttering something.

Naruto didn't say anything when he saw this, he turned his head and beckoned Nine Tails and Hase Ryusheng to sit down with him.

After Kyuubi sat down, he stretched his neck to look at the rice that the old lady was preparing to put into the pot just now, and then said to Naruto expectantly: "What is that, I don't seem to have eaten it yet, it seems that you said That’s right, it’s really the right time.”

Naruto followed Kyuubi's eyes, and then he realized that what kind of rice the old woman was going to put into the pot just now, it was just a mixture of soybeans and rice bran. It is estimated that this is the dinner for Ichiro's family tonight.

Rice bran is the husk left after husking rice, which is mixed with some peels and smashed together. It is generally used to feed pigs.

At this moment, the voices of Jingichiro and Kazumi, who were whispering on the side, gradually amplified, as if there was some quarrel.

Naruto could vaguely hear words like "There is almost no rice at home..." "That's for my daughter" or "Listen to me".

Then Jing Ichiro came back with Kazumi, and Kazumi smiled apologetically at the Naruto trio with red eyes, then quietly put away the clay pot with rice bran and soybeans on the side, and then walked out of the house.

With his back to Naruto and the three of them, Jing Yilang collected his emotions, then turned around and said with a smile: "You guys came too suddenly, there is nothing at home, so let's eat some vegetable mixed rice."

Vegetable risotto Naruto knows that rice and vegetables are cooked together in a pot, which is a bit similar to a relatively dry vegetable porridge.

As soon as Jing Yilang finished speaking, Kazumi, who had walked out of the house before, came back, holding a small bag of rice in her left hand, and a basket in her right hand, which contained freshly washed vegetables. It looked like she had picked half of the vegetables in the yard. He came down with two eggs in his hand.

This time, not only Naruto, but even Hase Ryusheng on the side also saw the other party's bravado, and when he was about to open his mouth to say something, Naruto on the side signaled him not to say anything.

"Then we won't be polite." After Naruto stopped Hase Ryusheng's intention, he said to Jing Ichiro with a smile: "I like to eat vegetable mixed rice since I was a child, but unfortunately I have never been able to do it well. I have to try it this time. And the craftsmanship of the beautiful mother-in-law."

Kazumi put down her things and heard Naruto's words, she was a little surprised and said, "You always cooked by yourself when you were young?"

"Yeah." Naruto said with a smile, "I haven't seen my parents since I was born, so I've always lived alone, but luckily, I grew up very smoothly."

When Kazumi heard that Naruto had never met his parents and lived alone when he was a child, distressed emotions suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then he quickly started to process the ingredients, and said while processing: "If you like to eat, eat more, mother-in-law try to eat as much as possible." Make it delicious."

While cooking with the beautiful mother-in-law, Jing Yilang waved to the half-opened door, motioning for the people inside to come out.

Following Jing Ichiro's movements, the door to the side of the room slowly opened, and a petite, shy-looking girl with shofar braids stepped out of it.

"This is my daughter, her name is Haruko." Jing Ichiro patted his daughter's head and said to Naruto who was facing him, "I just turned ten years old this year, and she is very good. Haruko, come say hello to everyone."

The girl looked a little pale, she was not tall, and her hair was a little yellow. At first glance, she was malnourished all the time. She was half a head shorter than a normal ten-year-old child. She was said to be six or seven years old. letter.

Haruko lowered her head shyly, and said hello to Naruto and the three timidly: "My name is Haruko, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me."

"This is your daughter?" Naruto asked in surprise, looked at Haruko, then at Ichiro, and then said cautiously: "Then you this year..."

"I'm thirty-five this year." Without any scruples, Jing Yilang directly stated his age, touched his face and said to Naruto with a smile: "It doesn't look like it?"

"Hmm..." Naruto was silent for a moment, then nodded honestly and said, "You really don't look like that, you look quite old."

In fact, Naruto's words are already very tactful. Jing Yilang is not only old, he looks like an old man in his fifties and sixties. Compared with the girl next to him, everyone who sees them will think that the two are grandfathers grandson instead of father and daughter.

"I can't help it, life is hard, life is not easy, how can I manage so much." Jing Yilang looked at the daughter beside him with loving eyes and said, "When Haruko finds a good man to marry, I will also marry her." I can leave in peace."

"Miss Haruko is still young, so you don't have to worry." Naruto also said with a smile: "And Miss Haruko is very sensible at first glance, and I will definitely find someone who will treat her well."

On the other hand, Haruko, who was at the side, became anxious when she heard her father say that, and her eyes gradually filled with tears.

Seeing that his daughter was about to cry, Jing Yilang hurriedly begged for mercy, and made a few funny faces to make his daughter laugh out of tears.

After laughing through tears, Haruko consciously went to the side to help her mother process the ingredients, while Jingichiro chatted with Naruto.

"Are you visiting the country of birds?" Jing Yilang sat on the floor hammering his legs and said, "The annual bird beauty pageant is coming soon, so you are here."

"Really?" Naruto didn't expect to be so lucky: "It seems that we really came to the right place this time."

"Yes, there are a lot of tourists here every year." Jing Yilang picked up the kettle on the side and gave Naruto a bowl of water and said, "I don't know whose bird won the first place this year, but there is no escape anyway." Out of those big families."

"Big family?" Naruto asked while taking the water from Ichiro with both hands, "Are you a nobleman from the country of birds?"

"Well, you must know that raising birds is an expensive thing, and most people can't afford it at all." Jing Yilang continued to pour water for Nine Tails and Hase Ryusheng and said: "I heard that the first place selected every year , Just the daily feeding of food costs hundreds of thousands of taels, which scares people to death, so it’s not raising birds, it’s obviously raising a father.”

"You said they serve a bird every day, and spend so much money, what are they trying to do?" Jing Yilang smacked his mouth and said, "What can I do with this money."

Naruto took a sip of water with his head down, then raised his head and smiled and said: "Rich people don't lack for anything at birth, and they don't have much pursuit. In the end, they can only live in extravagance. It's all the same. There's nothing unusual about it." of."

At this time, Granny Kazumi and Haruko on the side also processed the ingredients of the vegetable risotto, put them into the iron pot on the fire in front of them one by one, and finally cracked two eggs on it, and then covered it. After a while, there was a gurgling sound in the lid, and a smell mixed with the aroma of rice, vegetables, and eggs gradually wafted out of the pot.

Nine Tails on the side sniffed hard, then stared eagerly at the iron pan in front of him, waiting for the food to be served. The only dissatisfaction might be that the iron pan was really too small for him to eat alone, let alone to eat. Six people divided.

Like Kyuubi, there was another person staring at the iron pan eagerly, and that was Jing Ichiro's daughter, Haruko. A child would never eat this kind of food at all, and she had been quietly wiping her saliva since she was handling the ingredients.

Naruto had seen this scene with sharp eyes long ago, but he just smiled and didn't say much. Hase Ryusheng on the side looked uncomfortable. He had been wanting to say something since just now, but because of That's why Naruto endured it.

For a while, there was only the gurgling of rice cooking in the iron pot and the aroma in the air. It didn't take long for the rice to be cooked.

When the lid of the pot was lifted, the strong fragrance filled the whole room in an instant, and the nine-tailed halazi almost bleed all over the place.

Granny Hemei took out the rice spoon and bowls and chopsticks, and first helped Naruto and the others to fill three bowls full of vegetable mixed rice. After filling it, nearly three-quarters of the mixed rice in the pot disappeared in an instant, and then Granny Hemei helped her daughter Haruko's serving of rice was only a little less than what Naruto's trio had in their bowls.

In this way, there was only a little rice and crispy rice left in the pot at the end, and Granny Hemei shoveled it vigorously, and put the remaining rice into the bowls of herself and her husband.

After everyone divided the rice, the bowls of Naruto, Kuo, and Hase Tatsuo were full of rice, Haruko's bowl was slightly less, and Jingichiro and Kazumi's bowls were only covered by a shallow layer of rice. bottom of the bowl.

Jing Yilang looked at the eyes of the three Naruto people on the opposite side, pretended to be indifferent, waved his hands and said, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold, the two of us are getting old, and we lose our appetite at night." Okay, and we eat this often, and we are tired of eating it, you young people should eat more."

Naruto silently looked at the rice bowl in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking. It seemed that the rice that had been stored for a long time was dotted with some cheap vegetables. If it was taken to the city, it would cost a dozen or so at most, but this is a simple A good farmer is able to give the best meals for his guests.

At this moment, even the most gluttonous Kyuubi is holding a bowl and can't put down his chopsticks. No matter how slow he is, he can still see something in the current situation.

Naruto was silent for a while, then raised the bowl in front of him and said, "Then I'll start."

After finishing speaking, Naruto took a big mouthful of rice and put it into his mouth, and Granny Kazumi said nervously, "How is it, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." Naruto responded vaguely, then took another big mouthful of rice and said, "This is the best vegetable risotto I've ever eaten."

The mother-in-law Kazumi on the opposite side heard Naruto's words, a warm smile broke out on her face, she looked at Naruto gently and said, "Eat more if it tastes good."

Does Naruto know that the food for this meal is something that the family plans to sell for money, or keep for the New Year? He knows, but he also knows that he must eat it, and he must eat it happily, eat it He is generous and eats cleanly.

Hase Longsheng on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and was ready to speak all the time, but at this moment, Naruto spoke first.

"By the way!" Naruto seemed to have remembered something, slapped his thigh suddenly, put down the bowl and chopsticks, picked up the backpack on the side, and said while searching: "I remember buying some dry food elsewhere for the road, but it turned out I didn't expect that I haven't finished eating until here, so I just take it out and eat it together."

Hase Longsheng on the side looked at Naruto with strange eyes, why didn't he know when it was time to buy something, and besides Urenin Village, they arrived here that day, so where did they come to eat on the way.

Seeing Naruto's actions, Jing Yilang quickly dissuaded him: "It's not necessary, it's better not to waste it, you can keep it and eat it later."

"No need, no need, it's almost enough to eat, there is only a little bit left." Naruto said with a smile: "And if you don't eat any more, it will be spoiled. It's just for you to try something new, not much."

Jing Yilang heard Naruto's words, especially the sentence that if you don't eat it, it will be ruined, so he put out his thoughts of continuing to dissuade him, and waited for Naruto to take out something from his backpack.

Looking at the small backpack in Naruto's hand, Jing Ichiro thought to himself.

The backpack is so small, and it is the dry food I bought before for the road, probably something like rice balls.

Thinking of this, Jing Yilang breathed a sigh of relief, if it was rice balls, he would eat them.

Under the eyes of everyone, Naruto rummaged through his backpack for a while, and then slowly stretched out his right hand from the backpack...

Then he took out half a sheep.

That's right, the whole half of the sheep, including the belt and meat, looked about the same size as Haruko on the opposite side.

When Jing Yilang saw what Naruto took out, he was immediately dumbfounded.

No, why is your dry food so hardcore?

And you tell me, how did you take out such a big half of a sheep from such a small backpack? Did you do a trick?

Hase Longsheng on the side was also stunned. Where did the half sheep come from? He couldn't help but leaned into Naruto's ear and said, "When did you buy it?"

Naruto also took the time to reply in a low voice: "I bought it before I set off from Konoha, and Kurama wanted to buy it. I forgot to eat it all the time. This time I just took it out." There are a lot of things sealed inside, most of which are for food. Just now he was looking for the sealed scroll containing mutton, and after unsealing it in his backpack, he took it out bit by bit.

However, Naruto did not stop, and continued to search in the backpack: "It's strange, I remember there is still, where is it, you wait, I will look for it again."

Immediately afterwards, Naruto took out another bag of rice, which seemed to weigh at least twenty or thirty catties, and with a bang, everyone around the floor felt that the floor shook three times.

Now Jing Yilang's eyes almost popped out, if he could not see the shadows of the other three, he would have thought that he had encountered some supernatural event.

Then Naruto poured the rice into the iron pot in front of him before Jing Ichiro could react, added water to boil it, and then took out a knife and began to process the leg of lamb in his hand.

"The vegetable risotto made by Hemi Granny is indeed much better than mine, but I have to show my hand." Naruto cut the leg of lamb swiftly and said, "If you invite us to eat vegetable risotto, I will treat you to mutton Pick rice with your hands, let’s roast the rest of the meat, we can’t waste it anyway.”

It was only then that Jing Yilang came to his senses, seeing Naruto looking like he was going to get rid of half the sheep, and not caring about why Naruto was able to take out half a sheep and a bag of rice from his backpack, he quickly stretched out his hand He stopped and said: "No need, no need, half a sheep is too expensive, it's a waste if you can't finish it..."

"It's okay, as you said just now, we are young and have a good appetite." Naruto said with a smile: "Don't be afraid that you won't be able to finish eating."

Jing Yilang couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "This is a whole half sheep, and there is a pot of rice, you can't eat so much, listen to me, put it away, I think this lamb is still fresh, you keep it Eat later."
