I sell sweets in Konoha

It seems like you don’t have to worry too much about this.

Danzo slowly opened the food box. In addition to the two-color daifuku he had seen last time, there was another snack, a small yellow-brown round cake.Danzo picked up a small piece of the round cake and looked at it carefully.

What should I say?Like senbei without nori.

"This girl is really interesting."

Chapter 28 Puffing

"The taste of this senbei is quite good." Sandai squinted his eyes and tasted the small senbei called 'Cookba'.

Well, although through the introduction of a small note included in the food box, Sandai knew that the gadget Junko made was not senbei but something called crispy rice.

But...but the appearance and color did look very much like the 'senbei', a kind of tea snack he often had before.

So even though he knew it, the third generation was still willing to call this thing 'senbei'.After all, it looks more like a mini senbei, so it’s not a problem to eat two or three in one bite.But this mini senbei has a completely different texture from the senbei you usually eat.Sandai picked up another senbei and slowly put it into his mouth.

I bit it gently. Although it was as hard as senbei, it had a crispier texture than senbei.

The aroma of rice is mixed with a mellow aroma similar to that of wheat, the salty aroma of soy sauce and the sweetness of honey. This mixed taste quickly spreads in the mouth and fills the mouth.

Although the overall taste did not meet the needs of the elderly, overall it was much stronger than the senbei I had before.

After taking a gentle sip of the hot tea, the fragrance of the tea leaves washed away the strong taste just now.No, that's not quite the case.The fresh taste mixed with the fragrance of tea leaves creates a slightly peculiar aftertaste that lingers in your mouth, waiting for you to taste it slowly.

"This girl..." Sandai squinted at the night scene outside the window.

If the first time I ate the yokan she made just felt like it could be eaten, then the second time I ate the daifuku she made was already a kind of enjoyment, and the third time I ate the senbei she made, I suddenly felt a sense of enjoyment. The novelty of 'it turns out this thing can also make this feeling'.

It really has to be said that her talent in desserts seems to have far exceeded her ability to be a ninja.

"What an interesting kid..."

"My taste is almost spoiled by her."

At this time, Junko was at home, and she was not interested in caring about what Konoha Village looked like at night.The reason is, of course, lack of money~ Even though I have a little bit of money now, I can't spend it carelessly. There are too many projects that are about to be launched, and I will soon face a time when I will need a lot of money.Junko doesn't have that much money to spend on her.

At this time, Junko was also eating crispy rice, but she was not interested in enjoying it.

"The taste is still a lot worse." Junko thought about this problem while chewing the rice cake.

If the taste cannot be further improved, the final result of this crispy rice cake may be the same as senbei. Although it is not a snack, the sales may not be very good.

Although it has gone through a certain degree of delicate processing, the texture of the senbei is stronger than directly pressing it with cooked rice and frying it.

But it was still far from the crispy texture of the crispy rice noodles that Junko had eaten before.

"So is there anything missing?" Junko pinched her chin and looked at her rice cooker.

The heat is definitely a problem. It will be better if you practice this slowly and several times.Another problem lies in raw materials.The main ingredients this time are flour and glutinous rice.

'So we have to work hard on raw materials? 'Junko recalled the specific raw materials of the rice cake in her previous life.

Unlike the previous Daifuku, this time’s Guobao may have more complexity in raw materials.If you replace the glutinous rice with millet, this recipe is the basic recipe for millet rice crispy rice.The initial texture of this kind of rice cake is still hard.So if you want a crispier texture, you have to put a little more effort into the raw materials.

The raw materials of crispy rice in previous lives include but are not limited to millet, glutinous rice, fragrant rice, etc., but also include soybeans, sesame, corn and other raw materials.Moreover, Junko herself estimated that the crispy rice in her previous life might have been a snack made mainly of soybeans mixed with other grains. After all, those crispy rice can be called 'soy products'.

It is not difficult to produce soybeans and other cereals in Konoha. The key problem is the mixing ratio. Solving this is not very difficult, just try more.

In addition to trying more, you also have to work harder on the craftsmanship.

For example...

"Puffing?!" Junko frowned, thinking about this problem.

right!Puffed!Many similar foods in previous lives had a very important step, which was puffing!Puffed food can greatly improve the taste of food and make it taste crisper.

The puffing step is not complicated. The key question is what kind of tool to use for puffing.

The most common puffing device in the previous life was the legendary black technology 'Rice Amplifier' in China.But obviously that thing is not suitable for the thing in Junko's hand.

So for puffing, you have to think of other ways.

In fact, the principle of puffing is not complicated. Puffing is when grain is placed in a closed space, heated and pressurized. After reaching a certain high pressure, the pressure suddenly loses, causing the water molecules inside the grain to rapidly expand and explode. At this time, the expansion of water molecules can reach 2000 times the original state.Under such impact, the external form and internal molecular structure of the grain are destroyed.

Based on this principle, under the current conditions, only corresponding devices are needed to expand food.

For example...

pressure cooker?

"That's a good idea." Junko suddenly felt that this was a good idea.The puffing equipment in the previous life was complicated and diverse. Due to the in-depth research on grain puffing, a large number of equipment used for making puffed food has been spawned.As for puffed food in this life, Konoha Village is not even a sprout. They don't even know what 'puffed' is.

So there is no corresponding puffing equipment at all.

And because Konoha Village is located in a low-altitude plain forest, the people here have no concept of 'high pressure' and the use of high pressure to make food.

Therefore, there is no pressure cooker in Konoha Village.

"Let's customize one?!" Junko returned to her room and took out her account book and counted her recent income.

After excluding costs, she earned 350 yen. Of course, after excluding the change, that's probably all she earned.The main income is contributed by various families.

'In other words, even if you lose money, you still have a basic income of 175 yen per day? 'Junzi was calculating with her notebook in hand.

Basic profit of 175 yen, this is when booking.And there has to be no one to grab the market.There is no shortage of cooks for making snacks in aristocratic families. After all, people need to eat and enjoy themselves.And they don't lack major cooperative suppliers who specialize in supplying the tribesmen.

If you think about it carefully, I estimate that in a few days, someone will start to imitate Dafu.

After all, Daifuku's production process is not complicated at all.

Her main advantage now is that she has long-term supply to the Hokage and has a certain brand effect brought about by being recognized by the Hokage.But this is not always the case in the long run.

'It's still necessary to make a breakthrough. Junko gritted his teeth.

Originally, she planned to save money for a while, but now it seems that instead of saving now, it is better to expand the market as much as possible under the current good start.

She is now a businesswoman, not an ordinary home dweller.

If money cannot be used to make money, it will be just a pile of waste paper.

So Uncle Ma once said, 'If you don't recharge, you want to become stronger?Only by using your brain and charging money can you become stronger. '

Well, it’s time to take action!

Chapter 29 Pressure Cooker and Knife

The Takumi is one of the most famous weapon workshops in Konoha Village.

However, today they faced a relatively difficult problem.The store manager, who is also the most experienced blacksmith, looked at the blue background design in his hand and felt a little puzzled.

"Well, I probably understand." The store manager shook his head and asked uncertainly to the beautiful girl standing in front of him: "This...is this a pot?"

A pot... an easy-to-understand thing. The clerk looked at it three or four times but couldn't confirm it. In the end, it was he, a veteran, who finally confirmed it.

"That's right." Junko replied, "This is a rather special pot."

In fact, it's not special, at least for Junko.This is a pot, a pressure cooker!The principle of a pressure cooker is not complicated, it is just a sealed container.And the manufacturing process is not that difficult.The main key points and difficulties lie in the alloy used in manufacturing and the design of the safety valve.

Of course, these things were not designed by Junko herself. Junko was just a programmer in her previous life.

Let her shout that C++ is the most beautiful language in the world, and it’s okay not to accept refutation.Ask her to draw a design, and that would be a strong man locking up men.

As for the design drawing of this thing, it was obtained from the system mall.

And this thing is more of a crude puffing equipment than a pot.Of course, it is also very simple to use. Just heat it with fire and ensure that the air pressure is stable within the calibrated threshold for about 3 minutes and then turn it on.

But this thing looks a bit like a flying saucer from the design drawing?

Hmm...more like a flying saucer with a bunch of small round pots on it?

Anyway, it doesn’t look like it’s a pressure cooker.

But to be precise, it is called a 'expander', so it is not like a pressure cooker, so it is conceivable.

As for the blacksmiths of the Tōgō no Kōshi who couldn't tell, of course it's because they mainly make weapons, so from the perspective of weapons, this thing is somewhat similar to the Fuma Shuriken, but it's different.

So after a group of people looked around for a long time, they didn't even know what it was.

"Do you want to do this?" The store manager looked at this design drawing and had to say that this design drawing is really great. The size of each accessory is different. You can see what it is from three different angles. The appearance has been clearly drawn.

It can definitely be made, the only problem is.

"If you want to do this, it will be more noble." The store manager thought for a moment and said, "Of course I have to explain in advance that this is not a scam to get your money."

"We mainly produce weapons here, although you can also make this. But it needs to be made by hand."

"And your spare parts are also relatively sophisticated, and the requirements are not low at all."

The store manager was telling the truth, and he didn't intend to use this to kill Junko.Because the design drawing contains some special metal formulas.

Metal formula!This thing can be said to be the core business secret of a weapons workshop like theirs.

Because it is not only the craftsman himself who affects the quality of the weapon, but also the metal formula.

Although it has not yet been thought that these much more special metal formulas can be used in weapon production, it is really a big profit to be able to obtain metal formulas for free.

"How much?" Junko immediately asked after hearing what the store manager said.

"Money..." The store manager looked at Junko. Judging from the texture of this girl's clothes, she didn't look like a rich child.Although he didn't know where she got this design drawing, it was right that he had it in his hands now.And he doesn't care about the source of this picture, what he cares about is...

"I don't have to charge you." The store manager thought for a while and made up his mind and said, "But I want your design."

"In addition, if you have a copy, you are not allowed to make it for other stores."

"Huh?" Junko listened to what the store manager said. He was stunned at first but then quickly reacted and said: "Your asking price is a bit high. If you want this price, you have to repair my sword for me." ”

"If you can, make me a new one just like this sword."

After speaking, Junko placed the Bizen sword wrapped in a cloth in front of the store manager.

"Little girl." When the store manager saw Junko say this, he pushed the Bizen knife towards Junko and said, "You really know how to negotiate the price. I can't accept your price."

"Hmph~" Junko grabbed the design drawing and said, "Uncle, do you think I don't know your thoughts?"

"Metal formula!"

How could Junko not know the reason why the store manager really liked it and made the free request?Her pot is not made of alloy.The most important thing about alloys is the ratio of different metal raw materials.This ratio requires a lot of experiments and practice to finally obtain and determine.

If his weapon workshop gets a new matching ratio, it's not clear yet which one can be used on which one.

But one more recipe means one more trump card!A trump card that cannot be overtaken in a short time unless stolen!

The reason why Junko came here with this design drawing was that the hair design drawing had unexpected metal formulas!

If the store doesn't care or if it's the ratio they already have, then Junko can only pay for it herself.If the other person cares and wants it very much, but they don't have it...

Of course Junko is making a mistake!

Hmm... How can we say that things done by civilized people are false?The alloy formula is very important in the first place, so it is great to use this to save some money for yourself.

Besides, she didn't even ask the shop owner for money, so how could she say it was blackmail?

"Hehehe~" the store manager chuckled. He smiled a little and said, "It is true that the formula is very important, but we don't know yet where the things made from this formula can be used."

"Maybe it won't be of use to us. If it's not useful, then didn't we make this pot for you at a loss?"

"Little girl, do you think I'm a fool?"

"That's it~" Junko immediately stood up, put away the drawings, took her Bizen sword and said, "If you don't want to be this fool, forget it."

"There are many people in the world who want to be this fool. If you don't like it, forget it."

"Hey!" Seeing that Junko was about to leave, the store manager immediately became anxious. He stood up and grabbed Junzi's shoulders and said, "Little girl! Little girl! Don't leave!"

"This...this...we can discuss this again! Discuss, discuss!"

"What are you discussing?" Junko turned around and gently pushed the store manager's hand away and said, "Uncle, there is nothing to discuss."

"You and I both know value, and what I'm talking about is already my psychological bottom line on price."

"I know~ I know!" The uncle said coyly: "But, girl~ you have to know. Making a sword... This is very time-consuming, labor-intensive, and consumes materials..."

'A treasured sword? 'Suddenly Junko understood why the uncle said that.

She probably misunderstood what Junko meant. Junko just wanted an ordinary sword that could be used for practice.But after hearing what the uncle said, Junko immediately laughed and said, "I know~"

"There's only one of these, and it's very useful to me. If it's successful, I might want to build a few more."

"So we can sign an agreement! The confidentiality agreement will never be leaked from me."

"What do you think of the price?"
