I sell sweets in Konoha

Chapter 34 Dessert Master

"Is this Junko-san's confectionery workshop?" Naruto looked at Junko's workplace curiously.

"You know?" Junko asked, "Snack workshop? Where did you know this term?"

"I heard it mentioned by classmates in the class." Naruto answered truthfully: "Some classmates brought snacks made by Junko-san as a lunch box. I heard from classmates that the snacks made by Junko-san are very delicious."

I just didn’t have a chance to taste it myself.

"As a bento?" Junko said with a little doubt: "Are you talking about the Hyuga family? The Uchiha family? Or the Akimichi family or the Nara family?"

"Eh? Junko-sensei knows my classmate?" Naruto said in surprise.

"Of course I don't know him." Junko shook his head and said, "It's just that basically all the well-known and famous families in Konoha Village have ordered my snacks."

Including but not limited to, Konoha does not just have these families with a high appearance rate.

There are also many small families, some of which may not make it onto the stage.Hmm... Junko means that at most he plays a passerby role in the manga, but even at this size, he is still a family.Anyway, anyone with some financial strength will make a reservation.

It's just that Naruto said this...

"Looks like I have to give you some advice." Junko touched her smooth chin and said, "You can't eat this thing as a meal."

"Eh? Why?" Naruto asked curiously.

Some students in the class actually took this as a meal, even though it was really meant as a dessert at first.

"He should be eating daifuku, which is very high in calories." Junko said, "Well, you may not understand what this means. In short, fruit daifuku is one of those things with high caloric value but low energy. It is easy to gain weight, but it is not Easy to provide energy.”

This is a characteristic of fruits, which are rich in fructose.However, fructose is easily converted into fat but not easily converted into energy to support physical activities.

This is a scientific research result from a previous life.

Because of the weight loss trend in the past life, some women think that eating vegan food or pure fruits is easy to lose weight and is healthy.

But in fact, this is a completely wrong idea. A pure vegetarian diet can easily lead to excessive carbohydrate intake, and a vegetarian diet contains a lot of plant fiber that the human body cannot absorb and does not have the nutrients necessary for the human body. It is easy to gain weight and cause malnutrition.This is especially true for fruits. The large amounts of fructose contained in fruits not only fail to provide sufficient energy, but are also easier to convert into fat.

So say~

"Remind your classmates after I go to school tomorrow." Junko said with a grin: "Eat properly. If you eat snacks as your staple food, you will easily gain weight."

It is also easy to cause some diseases, after all, the consequences of excessive intake of carbohydrates and sugar.

However, it is better to say that it is easier to get fat than to be sick, and it is easier for those brats to control themselves. If Junko's own estimation is correct, it should be that most girls use this as a staple food instead of eating it.

As for those girls, telling them that they gain weight easily is more effective than anything else.

"Now let's light a fire in the pot and wait for the water to boil." Junko put on an apron, put on a headscarf and a mask, and then gave Naruto a set of equipment that didn't fit well but could still be put on and said, "Water is boiling." Just help me make the dough when it opens."

"Kneading noodles is also very simple. Did you see the machine on that machine? Just keep turning it."

After going to the blacksmith shop, Junko naturally picked up some other things.For example, a semi-automatic dough mixer.

This is a very simple machine with almost no technical content that has taken into account the need for mass production in the future, so Junko has already begun to customize some machines.

As the foundation of dim sum, the dough mixer is naturally the foundation among the foundations.

Without considering how to input non-human energy into it, this thing is just a simple gear combination plus a rotor and two curved blades.

And this simple machine is nothing to the craftsmen of the weapons workshop.

Some finished products were put together and sent to Junko.

Naruto looked at the half-human tall mixing vat in front of him and asked excitedly: "Are you going to do that kind of great blessing?"

He had been coveting that dessert for a long time, but his classmates wouldn't give him points and said the daifuku was very expensive.Humph~ So what if it’s expensive now?He, Naruto, can eat it freshly out of the oven.

"Yes~" Junko nodded and said, "But let's not do that for now. Let's make some other snacks first."

“It’s not Dafu, but it’s just as delicious.”

"Baking~ Do you know?"

When it comes to snacks~ I have to mention the most important category of snacks in my previous life!That’s baked treats!That is to say, cake.Of course, baking is actually one of the processes for making this kind of snack, and baking is also an important process for making other snacks.So baked snacks include but are not limited to cakes.

Things such as bread and biscuits can also be counted as baked snacks.

In many countries in the past, baked goods were an important part of the daily diet and their staple food.

And the most important thing for baking is the oven!One of the reasons why Junko didn't produce bread in the early stage was to test the market with Japanese refreshments, and the other reason was that she didn't have an oven.

After initially launching the first non-traditional Japanese snack 'Crisp' and receiving a certain amount of praise, Junko knew she could send out this killer product!Since they can accept crispy rice, Junko doesn't believe they won't accept soft, fragrant and tender bread!Moreover, there are many types of bread and the different methods can definitely establish her Junko brand!

More importantly, bread can be used as a staple food!

So after receiving good reviews, Junko immediately found someone to build an old-fashioned European bread oven.Now there is a stove and a manpower that looks like it will last for a long time.

Junko naturally wanted to start making bread immediately.

Naruto began to turn the shaker as Junko asked, and Junko began to add raw materials to the mixing tank.

She plans to make a simple bread called 'Chiffon Bread'.The main raw materials are 'low-gluten flour' eggs, water and sugar.However, Konoha Village does not differentiate between high and low gluten flour, so Junko had to think of some trouble on her own.

Low-gluten flour generally refers to flour with a moisture content of 13.8% and a crude protein content of less than 9.5%.

Because this kind of flour is low in gluten, it is easy to expand in size and become soft.So even flour is often used for making bread.

However, there is no such flour in Konoha, so Junko can only find a way on her own.The method is actually not difficult, just mix corn starch into Konoha's regular flour. Corn starch is also available in Konoha.

With all the tools ready, Junko can start working on it.

'I wish I could make this chiffon cake for the first time...'

'Don't fail. '

Chapter 35 Chiffon Cake

The process of making chiffon cake is not complicated. This is why Junko chose to make chiffon cake first.

Although other types of cakes and breads are relatively simple to make, chiffon cake is attractive enough with its unique soft texture, fluffy and golden appearance.

In addition, this cake is a foundation, and various cakes can be made based on chiffon cake.

For example, chiffon cake rolls and the like.

But in the later stage of production, Junko needs to make another thing that is currently not available in Konoha Village.That’s cream!There is a dairy industry in Konoha Village, but this industry is relatively rough.

In other words, drink it directly, or heat it to high temperature and package it to extend the shelf life.

The rest of the dairy products, whether cheese, cream, etc., have not appeared yet.

In other words, they may already have it, but they have not made any reasonable use of these things and have not converted them into economic value.And now if the chiffon cake is finished, then the next step is to make the cream!

With these two gadgets, Junko can really start to build his own brand for himself.

Open the oven, take out the mold, and the rich aroma of cake wafts in the air.Naruto's eyes immediately widened, even though he had just eaten.But ~ this fragrance is simply full of temptation that makes people enchanted!This was different from the taste of desserts Naruto had been exposed to before.

This is a rich but not pungent fragrance, not light but soft.

It seems to be alive, not simply and roughly stimulating your olfactory nerves, but gently stroking it like a mother caring for her child.

It was so warm that it seemed that the whole air was filled with the fragrance called 'happiness'.

"Let's try it~" Junko smiled. She was not laughing at Naruto's reaction.According to past life scientific research, sugar can provide some happiness.

Consuming a certain amount of sweets can improve human mood.

Greatly eliminates negative emotions.So Naruto's reaction was not surprising at all.

Junko carefully took out the chiffon cake from the oven, poured out the mold and cut two pieces with a knife, giving one to Naruto.Keep a piece for yourself.

Naruto got the cake and couldn't wait to eat it.

"Woooooo~ delicious~ delicious!" Naruto closed his eyes, this feeling was simply great!When you take the first bite, the softness of the cake is conveyed to your brain through your teeth.And with the contact with the tongue, the rich sweetness of the cake fills the mouth.This is not the kind that's so sweet that it's cloying, or so soft that it sticks to your teeth.

It’s sweet with just the right amount of goodness!Fragrant and sweet, this is a wonderful combination.The sweetness of the sugar does not suppress the aroma of the malt, but combines with the aroma of the malt to form a sweetness with appropriate benefits.

It fills your mouth, but it feels like it soothes a lot of dissatisfaction in your heart.

Rich and full of aftertaste, people can't help but close their eyes and enjoy the warmth brought by the food.

Happiness~ At this moment, Naruto only felt that he was wrapped in full happiness. He was no longer the orphan who had no wants, no one to care about, and no friends.

Happiness has come to him, it is worth remembering!

It’s even more worth guarding in this life!

Junko also took a bite, but she didn't feel as much as Naruto.Probably because I ate too many cakes like this in my previous life.So there is no special idea at all.

More importantly, this is not done particularly well!

A truly outstanding chiffon cake needs to have a soft texture. Although her chiffon cake is also soft, it obviously has too much water and not enough baking time.

Although it has a soft feeling, it is not crispy and has a slightly sticky feeling like a sandwich.

And the ratio doesn't seem to be what I want. The sugar content is a little too much. It might be better if the sugar content is reduced by a certain amount.

Of course, if you can add something like cream in the middle, the texture and taste will be improved.

But the prerequisite is that the cream must be made well.

'Well... let's not make the cream for now, right? Junko thought for a while and decided not to make cream for the time being.

Cream is not just the icing on the cake. As an important auxiliary ingredient, the quality of the cream can even affect the final taste of your cake.

If it is done well, it will be the icing on the cake. If it is not done well, it will ruin the brand.

'Well, once you have enough money to buy high-end cooking skills, that's almost it. Junko looked at the cake and thought for a moment.

'But you can make the jam first. '

right!Make jam!Junko's eyes suddenly lit up, right? !How could she forget this time?Jam is different from the fruits you usually buy in the market.

Although fruits bought in the market can also be used to make jam, the fruit used to make jam does not need to be of that standard. In fact, the standard of fruit used to make jam is different from the standard of fruit eaten in daily life.And those fruits that cannot be supplied to the market, or do not meet the market standards for direct consumption, can also be used to make jam.

For example, strawberries that are small and have a sour taste are not considered too fresh after being stored for a long time.

These things can all be used to make jam!And when the time comes, she can make another thing with jam, that is 'pudding'!

One of the important ingredients of pudding is 'jam'.

Moreover, jam itself is also a food that can be sold separately~especially before there are shops dedicated to selling jam in Konoha Village.

Junko can try it!

As for raw materials, although fruits that are eaten directly will be more expensive, if the standards are lowered and the demand is high, it is estimated that you can find some channels to sell cheap fruits that meet your needs.

"It's almost done~" Junko stood up and said, "We have to start making the daifuku. If we don't start doing it, we won't be able to deliver it on time today."

Of course, this time Junko plans to replace the crispy rice cakes with chiffon cakes as a tasting and giveaway.

As for the crispy rice cake, she has no intention of continuing to make it as a product until the puffer is ready.

After waiting for a long time, it’s time for tea again once a day.Holding the teacup and looking at the exquisite food box in front of him, Danzo couldn't help but smile as if he was mocking himself.

I don't know when it started, but this afternoon tea became an important project that he, the spy chief, had to carry out.

Maybe everyone is nostalgic deep in their hearts, keeping something that can give them a moment of rest and tenderness.

The roots...are dark and ruthless ANBU organization.Maybe there shouldn't be any humanity here, maybe everyone here, including himself, should be excellent tools, precise parts, operating on the dark side of Konoha.

Maybe it should be like this...

Until the appearance of this small box of sweets.

Danzo was originally just curious and inquiring, and a little bit eager to eat.But since he tasted it once, he can no longer refuse this kind of tenderness and sweetness that has never existed in Konoha Village.

It's like that lovely girl standing far away. You can't remember her or recognize her.

But she is calling your name over and over again, soothing the wounds in your heart and awakening your remaining emotions.

Only when tasting desserts and tea can you take a short break and feel the rare tranquility and warmth in the darkness.

Danzo opened the food box, and he suddenly noticed that the senbei, which was a little hard but a little more crispy, was gone. Instead of the senbei, there was a small golden piece of an indescribable dessert.

After opening the feedback letter left by Junko, Danzo learned that a small piece of food was called a 'Chiffon Cake'.

"This girl is really talented." Danzo put down the feedback book and picked up this small piece of 'Chiffon Cake'.

It's just a small piece, just enough for one bite.

Danzo put the cake into his mouth without any thought...the next second!

"Woooooooo!" He suddenly opened his eyes wide and stood up and slapped the table, gritting his teeth and trembling all over.

"This...this...this...this...speed! Speed! Speed!"
