I sell sweets in Konoha

A small store is just a small store.

This small shop only has a long bench where customers can take a rest, eat some snacks, drink a cup of tea, and then continue their journey.

only...

"Are we just standing outside?" Junko said a little dissatisfied, "Watching these officials eating here."

"Yes." Fugaku said coldly: "We are guards, and our duty as guards is to ensure their safety."

Yes, the so-called rest only means that the officials rest, and there is no need to think about the rest as the guards.So I can only watch from the sidelines.

It's just...it's just...

"Can I order one?" Junko asked quietly, "That thing looks delicious."

"Are you talking about the three-color dumplings?" Fugaku seemed to have thought of something bad and said, "That thing... is actually not very delicious. It can only be said to be so-so..."

"If you want to eat, you can ask for one."

"Oh." Junko was very curious about that thing.

She waved to the little girl in the store to come over, and the little girl actually came over.

Then Junko ordered a portion of the dumplings and a cup of tea.

'Is this a three-color dumpling? Junko held the dumpling and looked at it carefully.

Three-color dumplings are also available in Konoha Village, although they are called the specialty dessert of Konoha Village.Before Junko's debut, this was the main dessert in Konoha, and to a certain extent, the only dessert.

The method of making three-color dumplings is not completely fixed. The main color of the dumplings is pink, white and grass green or emerald green.

The main ingredient for dumplings is also one that Junko has used before, glutinous rice flour!

Among the three colors, the pink one is made from glutinous rice flour mixed with purple amaranth juice, while the green part is made from matcha powder mixed with glutinous rice flour.As for the white one, it is made of glutinous rice flour and ordinary water.

After finishing making the dumplings of three different colors, place them in a pot and cook them. They are ready to eat after they are cooked.

Of course, a more advanced way to eat it is to pour a little soup on the dumplings. The soup can be honey or caramel sauce. If it is more advanced, just put some nuts on it.

As for whether it tastes good or not...

This was Junko's first time eating this thing. She had hardly spent any money on desserts in Konoha until she started making them.

This thing looks good, if you take a bite...

'Not particularly tasty. Junko took a bite and immediately felt like she was at a disadvantage.

"Is this...this thing...really considered a dessert?"

Junko looked at the three-color dumpling in her hand with disgust and said, "It's not delicious at all, is it too ordinary?"

Not delicious at all, very ordinary.The texture and taste are very single, with basically nothing to look forward to.Because it is a glutinous rice product, it has some sweetness and soft texture of glutinous rice.As for the three colors, there is basically not much difference in taste.

Except for the matcha flavor, there is nothing left because it is mixed with matcha powder and has a bit more matcha flavor.

It’s not that delicious, maybe it’s just that way, or maybe it’s because of the poor craftsmanship of the maker.

But if it counts as a snack.

"Hehehe~ Of course it counts." Fugaku looked at Junko's expression and suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Why doesn't it count?"

"You have to look at when and with whom. Not everyone can make a lot of snacks like you."

"For most people, this three-color dumpling is already a very good dessert."

"As a snack that ordinary people can afford, this thing is already very good."

"Those snacks you made." Fugaku shook his head and said, "Not everyone can afford them. Even for those officials, they are a rarity."

"Oh." Junko did not refute Fugaku's words.

Her original intention was indeed to buy it for civilian consumption, but later she didn’t know how and it turned into a luxury product!This...this is what she really wants to 'serve the people'!

Please trust her, thank you.

But regardless of what Junko thinks, for now, this dumpling is fine.

'It's really a civilian-level consumption. Junko looked at the snacks in her hands.

This kind of dumplings are made from more popular ingredients than the dim sum she makes, the cost is low and the production process is simple.At the same time, although glutinous rice is single in nutrition, if it is not eaten often and is only used as a supplementary food, it can indeed replenish a certain amount of calories during rest to ensure subsequent consumption.

At the same time, just in terms of color, the three-color matching has sharp contrast, the structure is simple, and the color purity is very high.

It is in line with the simple aesthetic and can easily satisfy the visual enjoyment.

Its color matching and arrangement also have a fresh feeling.

Generally speaking, three-color dumplings are a very cost-effective snack. They not only meet the lower class people's demand for sugar, but also meet the body's caloric needs. At the same time, the color and arrangement also give people visual enjoyment and spiritual satisfaction. .

Therefore, as a snack for civilian consumption, the three-color dumplings are undoubtedly very qualified.

At least the daimyo officials weren't asking for better snacks.

We only rest here, and then continue on the road after resting.

The journey went smoothly, and basically nothing special happened as expected. Junko's expectation that some bandits would rob the road did not happen.

Basically, everyone who saw this pair wisely chose to go around, and few or no people had the courage to come up and cause trouble.

This time, Junko felt that the fun along the way was missing a lot.

Where have those legendary bandits gone?

Where is the plot of being a robber and then going to his lair to find an artifact that was thrown away as trash in a junk pile?Isn't it easy to cut wood at all? !

That kind of plot... of course there won't be one.

There are very few robbers who have twitching brains and think about showing off in front of the protagonist.

Although the robbers are fierce, they are not all stupid. Junko's team is not easy to mess with at first glance. How can he easily provoke them?

Junko was disappointed, but this was just right for the daimyo officials.

In essence, they are still ordinary people, and it is true that they have a safe journey.

They walked like this for a whole day, and until evening the group could not find the next hotel where they could stay.It seems that due to the impact of the war, there are not many inns in the entire Fire Country.

The distance between one station and the next is also very far.

For officials like this, who completely gave up speed in order to ensure comfort, it was impossible for Junko to reach the next station before dark even at a speed that Junko could easily keep up with.

This group of people didn't want to travel at night, so they had no choice but to sleep outside at night.

only...

"You..." Junko looked at a group of Uchiha and Fire Country officials looking at a cauldron in a daze.She was a little speechless and said: "You've been arguing for a long time and you still don't know how to cook?"

"So... what do you think?" Junko really wanted to complain about this Fire Nation official and said, "If you can't cook, can't you walk faster?"

"Huh? Why are you so rude, little girl?" The Fire Country official said with an official air: "You are ninjas."

"Can't you even do this little thing? Is this the ability of the future Hokage?"

"Hey! We are..." Junko was a little annoyed and was about to refute the Fire Nation official.

"I'm sorry, adults." At this moment, Fugaku suddenly stood in front of Junko and said, "She is just a child. Please, adults, please don't be familiar with her."

"We'll take care of everything."

Fugaku's attitude was very low. He even lowered his head and bowed with a very obvious apology.

"Don't be acquainted with these people," Fugaku bent down and lowered his head. Although he was facing the officials, he whispered in a voice that only Junko could hear: "And don't provoke them, it is not good for Konoha. "

"Just do what they say and we will assist you."

"Hmm..." Junko was unhappy, but seeing that Fugaku, the leader of the Uchiha clan, had such a low profile, she could only hold back a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry..." Junko said in a stiff voice, "I'll start cooking right away."

"I just had a bad attitude, please forgive me."

1 Chapter Thirty: Fire Nation Food Book Version 1.1

"Bing·The art of raising a tall building from the ground~a small villa with four bedrooms and two living rooms!"

Junko doesn't want to sleep in the wilderness all night!It was obvious to Fire Nation officials that they could spend the night huddled in a carriage.

Although it was a bit crowded, the carriage was cushioned with soft furs, high-end blankets, and comfortable pillows. Even if it was a bit crowded, it was better than spending a night in the wilderness.

So Junko, who had used magic to build a watchtower before, also built a small villa with four bedrooms and two living rooms on the ground this time.

Once the villa is built, all that remains is cooking.

Let’s start with the ingredients. The daimyo officials obviously already have some experience.The food I brought was mainly rice, potatoes, dried meat, dried fish and some dehydrated kelp and seaweed.

It seems that they have a relatively clear idea of ​​how long it takes to travel between the capital and Konoha Village and how many supply points there are in between.The food is mostly dry ingredients that are durable in storage, and rice and potatoes should be the staple food.

Of course, they carry not only dried kelp and seaweed, but also pickled radish strips, eggs and a small amount of fresh ingredients.

It seems that these officials do not intend to lower their dietary standards easily even if they are having a picnic.

It's not like I can't make some food with this one.It's just... Junko looked at the official airs of the Fire Country officials, which really made her seriously unhappy!

She took a look at the Hokage crest on her left arm, and her displeasure became even more serious!

She, Junko, is the next Hokage after all, and the current crown prince.In the future, he will be the actual controller of the Fire Nation's military power, other than the daimyo.

These officials actually put on official airs for her while she was still not the Hokage?In his previous life, when he was a common man with an average head, he disliked things like bosses putting on official airs. In his previous life, when he was a common man with an average head, he couldn't bear it.

Moreover, although some people in the previous life put on official airs, spoke in official language, had bad tempers and attitudes, and even took advantage of others, at least if you asked them to do something, you still did what you should do.

And these guys looked like they were treating her as a servant, planning to treat Junko around like a servant.

This made Junko extremely angry.

Using the future Hokage as a servant?

These guys are really brave!

"Clan Chief Fugaku seems to be worried about those guys." Junko approached Fugaku and whispered, "Are you worried about them talking nonsense in front of the daimyo?"

"Does it mean that the daimyo's officials just believe whatever they say?"

"If they sow discord between the Daimyo and the Leaf Village, will the Daimyo believe it?"

"Of course not." Fugaku shook his head and said: "The daimyo is not a fool, and he will not believe what these officials say about everything. But after all, these people are the officials appointed by the daimyo to station in Konoha, and they symbolize the daimyo's existence in Konoha Village. Someone who will interfere in Konoha’s internal affairs to a certain extent.”

"But the daimyo won't completely disbelieve it, otherwise he wouldn't let these come to Konoha Village."

"Then..." Junko asked with a slightly confused look, "What does Chief Fugaku mean?"

"The Daimyo will not push himself away from the Leaf Village." Fugaku said with a very experienced look: "But the Daimyo will choose not to trust you very much."

"Although you are currently the successor of Hokage, the future fifth generation Hokage."

"But if there is a rift between you and the daimyo, your inheritance will not be so smooth."

"The daimyo will not let a person he hates become Hokage. Even if the daimyo is unable to stop you from succeeding to the throne in the end, he will still hinder it."

"And if you are at odds with the daimyo, then the daimyo is likely to cause trouble for you in the future and disrupt Konoha's political stability."

"This group of people may not be inconspicuous, they are very ordinary, but they are all close ministers and favored ministers of the daimyo."

"We only went to the daimyo for three years, and we may not have the opportunity to go to the capital more often in the future."

"But they can stay with the Daimyo for a long time, and there is such a group of people saying bad things about you."

"It's still very bad for you."

"I understand." Junko pinched her chin and looked at the pile of ingredients in front of her and said, "Thank you, Chief Fugaku, for mentioning it. I will pay attention to this issue."

No wonder Mito Monobu said that the Daimyo was good, while Sandai said that the situation there was not complicated.

The daimyo himself is good, but he has some problems. His relationship is not complicated, and it is easy to see the closeness and distance between his ministers.

You can see it now.According to what Fugaku said, those who can be stationed in Konoha to serve as ambassadors are those with close relationships, while those who stay in Damingfu are also those with more distant relationships.

Um...

"Are these officials relatives of the daimyo?" Junko suddenly asked. "Why do you ask?"

Although Fugaku didn't quite understand, he still replied: "No, the daimyo will not send his relatives to serve as ambassadors to Konoha Village."

"Oh~ that's good." Junko suddenly smiled evilly and said, "Since you can be favored, you will definitely fall out of favor."

"Are you right? Chief Fugaku."
