I sell sweets in Konoha

The biggest advantage of this set of armor is that it is soft and lightweight. It seems to be made of some kind of high-strength carbon fiber or other composite materials.

The weight is comfortable to wear and can provide a protection value far beyond what any kind of armor in Junko's current world can provide.

After selling the armor, Junko decided to buy another item.

Bow and arrow!

Bows and arrows can be said to be another sad thing that has not been developed under ninjas. There are only two types of bows and arrows here, one is a bow used for etiquette and certain special occasions, and the other is an ordinary single bow.The former has almost no practical significance in front of ninjas, while the latter is more only used in some hunting places.

Therefore, the development of bows is not as complete as in previous lives.

Junko has seen bows in this world. Those bows can only be regarded as toys at best and cannot be used as weapons at all.If you really want a bow and arrow that can be used in actual combat, you still have to find it in the system mall.

After browsing around, Junko bought a compound bow that could be quickly expanded and folded, and then bought a quiver and sixty arrows.

In fact, Junko wants to buy a gun. After all, times are changing~

Junko didn't believe that a ninja's brain could be stronger than a bullet.

Although I thought about it, I didn’t buy it in the end because bullets are consumables.If the arrow is shot, she can pick it up and use it again, but if the bullet is shot, she can only buy new ones.

Due to the current economic situation, which is not yet stable, Junko has no plans to buy a gun.

'That's all~ I want it, boss~'

After finishing the sale, Junko clicked the shopping cart without hesitation.

Chapter 49 Gifts

The days didn't seem to have changed much, even if there was one more Naruto.

Perhaps the days of burning passion are still so far away, so this is a rare moment of peace.The changes in Konoha Village from one day to the next when nothing big happened didn't seem so noticeable.

Apart from an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, and an extra person to talk to, the extra Naruto didn't seem to bring much else.

Because Junko was too lazy to cook for herself while living outside, and there was no shortage of hotels in Konoha, Junko would not rent a house just for these two months.It is still possible to find a hotel for about two months.And the local residents of Konoha may have some opinions on Naruto, but no one has any opinions on things like money.

So even if they don't want to see Naruto, they will still want to see their sponsor Junko.

In short, my life was not too bad with good food and drink.

The house remodeling work on the place I have purchased is proceeding with great efficiency.It was even so high that Junko was surprised that this group of people actually took the initiative to work overtime and make improvements for her without charging overtime pay.

This...is this really the contractor and his workers who had to negotiate the price with her for half a penny?

incredible!These guys actually worked three shifts and worked for her all night long!

And there’s no overtime pay!This is nonsense!

It's nonsense, but Junko has no ability to refute.Because that’s what the other party did, and the project progressed extremely quickly!According to previous estimates, it would take about two months to complete the construction. Now it is estimated that including ventilation and later decoration, it can be completed in about half a month.

This is really the conscience of Konoha!

Before the completion of the new store, Junko finally had time to train properly, but this morning she was just about to go out.

"What? Don't you welcome the old man?"

Junko had just opened the door to prepare for training. As soon as the door opened, she saw an old man standing at the door.An old man she didn't really want to see, Danzo, Konoha's spy chief.

Junko didn't know why Danzo came to her door, but Junko really didn't want to see the old man.

But he was already here and had already spoken, so Junko had no choice but to say bravely: "Where~where! Danzo-sama is here, and my place is full of glory! It's too late to welcome him, so how could he refuse?"

"Please~please~" Junko smiled against her will and invited Danzo into the room. Then she quickly made a cup of tea and said, "Please drink tea."

"Aren't there any snacks?" Danzo asked, looking a little dissatisfied as he looked at the coffee table with only teacups.

"Eh..." Junko suddenly became speechless. Did this old man come here specifically to eat snacks?Is that wrong?Even if she wanted to eat, she would have somewhere to do it.

"This is a hotel." Junko pretended to bow her head and said apologetically: "There is no place to make snacks, so I apologize for the poor hospitality, Danzo-sama."

"But depending on the situation, the new store will be completed in half a month. I will hold an opening ceremony and have snacks."

"I would also like to invite Danzo-sama to come to the shop at that time."

"Hahaha ~ Half a month?" Danzo Nuo said thoughtfully, as if he was struggling with something: "Half a month is too fast, why don't you prepare well? Wait for me to come back and hold an opening ceremony? I will definitely do it by then. There will be good gifts in return.”

"This..." Junko was a little confused. What did Danzo mean?Just for some snacks, or are you looking forward to the ceremony?No... maybe neither?Junko didn't think Danzo was here just for snacks or thinking about her opening ceremony.There is something in Danzo's words.

He must have other purposes.

"Danzo-sama, are you planning to leave Konoha for a while?" Junko asked calmly and curiously while sitting opposite Danzo.

"Of course, of course." Danzo picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. He said with no trace of emotion on his face, but he seemed to have some appreciation: "I will set off today to go to Yun Ninja Village to discuss A matter of peace.”

'really! Junko immediately understood what Danzo meant.

He probably came here to test his tone.This old man most likely knew something about the conversation between himself and the Hokage, so he came to ask.

"I heard that the Kumo ninja are actively preparing for war. It doesn't seem to be peaceful." Junko immediately said innocently and worriedly: "Danzo-sama, is there no problem for you to go like this?"

"Hehehe~" Danzo smiled and said, "No problem, no problem, I've already buried half of the necks of many people in that soil."

"It would be great if we could do something for Konoha."

'Aren't you making some contribution to Konoha? ' Junko slandered in his heart.Peace seems to be the general trend, and both sides just lack a few reasons to cease the war.

So Junko didn't think that Danzo's going would destroy the general trend of peace, which was a thankless thing.

But Danzo doesn't necessarily make a contribution as he said. Junko estimates that Danzo's biggest purpose in doing this is to gain credit.This is not a particularly good thing for the third generation.

But from Danzo's tone, Junko guessed that the Third Generation had already agreed to Danzo's mission to Kumo Ninja as the representative of the mission.

It's just that it hasn't been announced yet.

"Danzo-sama is really worried about Konoha. If you can become Hokage, Konoha will definitely become more prosperous." Junko immediately pretended to be false, but pretended to sincerely praise and said: "Danzo-sama is here. Am I here to prepare some snacks for the road?"

"There's no need to eat on the way." Danzo put down his tea cup, looked at Junko carefully and said, "I plan to prepare some greeting gifts."

"In a personal capacity."

"That's it..." Junko thought about Danzo's words seriously. National gifts are naturally provided, but national gifts cannot be given as personal gifts.But if you want to go to Yun Ninja Village to negotiate smoothly, you need to establish some relationships, so that you can get private gifts that are very important.If you just take snacks as a personal gift, then... this is a bit ridiculous, right?

Yun Ninja Village is not so poor that it doesn't even have snacks?

The Cloud Ninja Village may not have Junko's new confectionery made with modern concepts, but it uses this kind of thing as a gift.

"Don't worry too much, this is just a stepping stone." Danzo said: "If possible, Muto, what kind of snacks can you prepare? How much can you prepare?"

"I personally can make candy if it's long distance shipping and long storage."

Junko thought about it for a moment and realized that this matter was also beneficial to her.Naturally, she would not shirk Danzo's request and said: "Hard candies can be made in batches and are convenient for storage and transportation."

"If you are sure that you want to use the snacks below as small gifts as a stepping stone, then under the current situation, this is the one I recommend."

"hard candy."

Chapter 50 Profiteers and Three Generations

The so-called hard candy does not refer to a certain type of candy alone, it is a large category.The characteristic of hard candy is of course that it is hard.

In the past life of candy, due to the development of the sugar industry, many steps were completed by machines. In this life, there is no production line, so sugar making can only start by hand.

There is no complete candy-making workshop in Konoha Village yet, although there is sugar in Konoha Village.

But for Konoha Village, sugar is a relatively scarce condiment, but it is not a necessity.Fortunately, no one in Konoha Village or in this world realizes the important role of sugar. Therefore, under the premise that it is neither a necessity nor a particularly popular product, the sugar in Konoha Village is in stock and is not controlled. There are also no rationing restrictions.

You can buy it directly from the farmer's market, but so far, except for Junko who buys this item in large quantities, there is almost nothing that she can buy in large quantities at once.

Due to the lack of in-depth research on sugar, there are almost no sugar products available in Konoha Village except sugar, which is a primary sugar product that can be found almost everywhere.

But in fact, this situation is not only in Konoha Village, but also in the entire ninja world.

The Third Ninja World War ended just a few years ago, and although the very fierce war between big powers was basically over.But the wars and some border conflicts between small countries have not ended.The smoke at the end of the war has not yet cleared, and various countries have suffered heavy losses.Productivity and production technology levels have experienced various levels of regression.

Before Junko didn't plan to make snacks, Konoha Village was already very good at providing sufficient sugar and not-so-palatable snacks to ordinary people.

There are many small countries, but their ordinary people are still struggling to have enough food and clothing!

Due to Danzo's request, Junko had to start making snacks in advance.Of course, this snack is sugar, and it is specially supplied to Danzo only.So Danzo naturally gave Junko a place to work according to her needs.

It was just below the hotel where she stayed, and it was a place open to the public right on the street.

But Junko doesn't care about this, it would be nice to have a place to make sugar.And she actually liked Danzo's approach.Because the process of making sugar is not a secret, if you are skilled in the process, it will be completely pleasing to the eye and attractive.

The first step in making hard candies is to purchase granulated sugar, but...

"Boss... you asked me for 600 pounds of sugar!" Junko said extremely unhappy: "Are you a little bit too generous?!"

Six hundred kilograms of granulated sugar is almost 300 kilograms of granulated sugar. According to the price of one kilogram of granulated sugar in the previous life, which was about 10 yuan, it is about [-] yuan.The sugar in Konoha Village is not expensive, even much cheaper than in the previous life.Because for people here, sugar is currently positioned as a condiment!

As a non-essential condiment and not a ration, it has certain consumption appeal for villagers.

But the demand is not very high!

As for the entire Konoha Village, there is really no one else but Junko who has a huge demand for sugar.In the past, Junko was a celebrity here because she would buy large quantities of products that were in demand but not particularly large.For example, fresh fruits are considered luxuries to a certain extent and sugar is not in high demand.

In the past, sugar was a very important auxiliary ingredient for Junko. However, when Junko planned to purely make hard candies, the demand for sugar was not the same.

At 600 kilograms, this may be the largest single sugar transaction at the farmer's market.

Junko originally thought that these merchants would offer discounts for large quantities, but she never expected that these guys would actually increase their prices? !They actually increased the price!

Junko calculated that the price of six hundred kilograms of sugar in Konoha is about 2 yen per kilogram, and six hundred kilograms is about six hundred yuan.It's only seven hundred yuan if I'm exhausted.

Ran Goose!When Junko made the request, these vendors actually directly asked her for six taels? !

Damn it!Junko can afford the sixty-two cents now, but how can such a lion open his mouth? !

"Isn't it appropriate?! Boss!" Junko frowned and looked at the aunt in front of her and said, "Sixty yen! It's okay if you don't lower the price. I can understand it being a little higher than 100 or two hundred yen. Just say sixty yen." Two? Do you think I can trick you casually when I’m young?"

Junko was really a little angry, because her demand was very high, and a single store only had fifty or sixty kilograms of this kind of product that was in demand but not large.Six hundred pounds!Six hundred pounds has almost sold out all the stocks of these small shops in the market.She is a big customer!Big customer!To be fooled like this!

"Are you doing this business?" Junko said angrily.

"Don't be angry, little girl." The aunt was a representative from the market, and after unifying the opinions of several companies, she set a price for Junko.She didn't seem to care about Junko's anger at all, and even said gloatingly: "You have to know, this candy~ Even Hokage-sama can't buy a hundred kilograms a year, and it looks like it will weigh more than ten kilograms."

"You want so much right now, but we've given it all to you, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

"You should earn a little from me. Who doesn't know that the big shots in Konoha Village order snacks from you?"

When Junko heard this, she immediately frowned, as did the entire Konoha Village.Or maybe all the high-end dim sum is ordered from her?This...this is a bit nonsense!The Uchiha family, the Hinata family, etc. don’t have any confectionery chefs?Although they also ordered dim sum here.But, she provides all the snacks?

Isn’t this pure nonsense? !Do you guys dare to talk nonsense?

"I don't do much, just that much. Who are you listening to suffer?" Junzi said unhappily: "No, six taels! Why don't you go and rob? I'll give you five hundred at most." "

"Humph~ Little sister, it's not us who told you." The aunt also showed her cards and said: "Sixty-two dollars is already a lot of face for you. Everyone knows who you have been close to recently. If it weren't for the sake of money! Who sold you?!"

"That's the price! Do you want to buy it or not?"

"You..." Junko guessed what these people were talking about and was angry!I was really angry to death.

"I think I can suggest to the Third Generation that they introduce special market management measures!"

"Oh? Market management method? What is that?"

This really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao have arrived!I don't know when the third generation really stood behind Junko.

He asked with great interest: "Can you explain it in detail to me?"

Chapter 51 Market Management Act

"Huh~" Sandai took a drag on his pipe and felt the nicotine released by the burning tobacco pass through his lungs before he slowly exhaled and asked: "Junko, why don't you buy candy again? It's six taels." , you should be able to afford it, right?"

"Third-generation-sama..." Junko wanted to argue fiercely, but she sighed and said: "That's not how the market works. If after all the cost calculations, I have to pay these sixty taels, then I I gave it without hesitation, but after all the cost calculations, the price they asked for far exceeded its own value dozens of times!"

"Do you think this is just asking you for more money?"

"I can only say that you are probably used to the material rationing system in a state of war, and you don't quite understand the vicious consequences of those traders raising prices indiscriminately after the market is opened."

"Hehehe~" The third generation smiled and was not angry at Junko's resentful statement. Instead, he said sincerely: "You are right. In the past, Konoha implemented a material rationing system most of the time due to years of war. I also I really have no understanding of the market economy you are talking about."

"But I have also thought about it seriously. If peace can be officially achieved, then this rationing system will gradually be rolled out to Konoha."

"It is only a system for times of material shortage caused by possible wars in the future, and what you call a market economy, or what we call businessmen, will be stationed in Konoha in greater numbers."

With in-depth observation and research during this period, Sandai gradually realized the importance of market economy.

The rationing system will definitely cease to exist as a special system in special periods, and without the rationing system, Konoha will have a large influx of businessmen.The existence of merchants will definitely bring prosperity to Konoha, stimulate economic growth, and tax revenue will inevitably increase.All in all, if the peace covenant can be successfully obtained, it is inevitable to implement the market economy mentioned by Junko.

Lifting material rationing, lifting curfews, and trying to stimulate Konoha's market prosperity.
