Chapter 30 Chapter Thirty (Two in One)(1/4)
I don’t know from which day, the most fashionable and fashionable way of greeting in Konoha Village recently became: "Did you plant it?" and "Which one did you plant?"
Buying a cup of your favorite milk tea, and then getting together with three or five people to talk about your latest hobby, has become the latest fashion that people in Konoha love most.
After a period of hard work, in addition to the choice of milk tea with more sugar and less sugar, it also added a variety of flavored additives such as 'red bean', 'pudding', and 'taro paste'.
It’s really getting more and more exciting.
Thanks to this, Sarutobi Asuma fell into a busy hell.
He finally understood why Hatake Kakashi looked at him like that at first.
Yes Yes.
This job does not require traveling through wind and rain, nor does it require confrontation with powerful enemies. It does not require facing life-threatening danger... Of course, overwork does not count.
But I have to stand here and repeat actions every day, dealing with customers over and over again.
Also calculate benefits, costs, losses, etc.
Doing too much of any one thing is enough to make you extremely tired, let alone so many things added together.
Especially since you never know what kind of customer you will encounter next time.
The people in the village are okay, most people already have some understanding of milk tea, and there is no need to introduce anything in particular. At most, they just need to think about what to drink today and what to drink tomorrow.
It's different for those from outside. They not only ask questions out of curiosity, but also hesitate repeatedly.
There are also people who get angry because they think the taste is not right or they choke on the pearls when they smoke too fast.
You never know what kind of feedback they will give for what reason.
Sarutobi Asuma even felt that in this short period of time, he had almost exhausted all his patience for the rest of his life.
How come there are so many people?
Why are there so many weird people?
How can people be so diverse?
Also, why is this ‘milk tea’ so popular?
He was so busy that even in his dreams, he was spinning between 'half sugar', 'poly sugar', 'pearls or red beans', 'more taro paste and less pudding'.
But it must be said that it is not all bad.
“Is it still bubble milk tea?”
Looking at the beautiful black-haired girl in front of him, he greeted her familiarly.
"That's right, no sugar, more pearls."
Yuhi Hong smiled and placed the order.
The beautiful red eyes looked at him expectantly...the milk tea being made in his hand.
Just like many young people in Konoha Village, Yuhi Hong is also accustomed to the lifestyle of "having a cup of milk tea". But what makes her different from others is that she does not add sugar.
Just like she doesn't like cakes very much, she also consistently avoids sugar and other additives like soft snacks in her new milk tea.
But she really likes the chewy texture of pearls, and likes to add more.
At first, she always went to the window of Ugetsu Store, but now that one is opened in front of the Hokage Building, which is much closer, she naturally does not need to go around that far.
Although that distance is not unacceptable to a ninja who can fly over walls and walls, why bother to sacrifice the near for the far away when you can be closer?
Sarutobi Asuma also had more opportunities to get in touch with his 'old classmate'.
——Yes, what makes Sarutobi Asuma happy is that through milk tea he has become closer to Yuhi Kurenai, who was at the same time.
Although the relationship between the two was not bad as classmates in the past, after all, after graduation, they were busy on the battlefield at that time, and they were busy with their respective tasks, so they only occasionally crossed paths to say hello.
Where can I compare to chatting every day to enhance our relationship?
"Do you have the guts?"
While waiting, Yuhi Hong started chatting casually.
"No...you planted it?"
Although this question seemed confusing, Sarutobi Asuma still understood what the other party was saying very smoothly.
After all, this is Konoha's current hot topic, and it is also the product of my own boss.
It’s just that I don’t have any ideas about this new product from Ugetsu Store that is popular in Konoha.
On the one hand, because he is responsible for the milk tea business, he has no connection with it.
On the other hand, it is because he (thinks he) is already an adult. Even if there is some distance between him and his biological father, he has passed the age where toys can be used to adjust.
But if a girl he likes likes her, he won't interrupt the topic without the sense of interest, but will start chatting about the situation.
After all, it was a product of the shop where he worked. No matter how uninterested he was, he should have already memorized the information by heart.
Just chatting is enough.
Because of the new products from the Ugetsu Store, there is now a "look what you grew" craze throughout Konoha.
It can grow on its own, does not require any other nutrients except specialized nutrient solution, and will not attract insects or rot.
The new ‘Cultivable Hero Egg’ released in Ugetsu Store has instantly become a popular item.
Especially for families with children, during the war, most of the parents who were ninjas went to prepare for the war or went directly to the battlefield.
Even if this is my duty as a ninja, I feel I owe something for not being able to be with my child.
Coupled with being away from home for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a gap.
At this time, this 'toy' of a 'hero' just gives them an entry point to get close to their children again.
There's really nothing particularly complicated about this 'Hero Egg'.
It's very simple. After buying it, unbox it, then follow the instructions to find a suitable place to put it down, then start to mix the nutrient solution according to the proportion, and start watering.
Then all you have to do is witness the growth of the hero egg day by day.
But children who grew up in such a simple environment have no more requirements. A piece of candy can bring endless happiness, let alone this kind of project that increases the fun of education?
Coupled with the additional emotional component of "he cares about me" and "they care about me" from the parents, isn't that even more beautiful?
In addition, these 'Hero Eggs' cultivated all the famous heroic ninja clans in Konoha, which was exactly what they wanted and satisfied their longing for heroes.
Simply perfect.
Although Yuyue thought of this marketing, she didn't expect that it would be such an immediate success. She didn't even use the second and third steps of marketing, and the project took off on its own.
To be honest, Ugetsu thinks this project is very promising, not only because no one dislikes harvest, but also because it was a toy that was extremely popular among children a long time ago before the Internet became popular all over the world.
'electronic House pet'.
Feeding through a screen can make countless children intoxicated. They stare at the small screen eight times a day, fearing that their 'pet' will be hungry, thirsty and dirty, let alone something that can be seen and touched.
Where's the 'Hero Egg'?
Blind box training for parent-child training.
When the three elements are superimposed, the effect is 300% achieved.
Almost as soon as Ugetsu's front foot was publicized, the back foot became Konoha's latest hit.
And because Ugetsu put the hidden model and Minato Namikaze action figures in blind boxes, the blind box business, which was originally slightly weak, also soared and ushered in a new sales peak.
We even had purchasing agents from out of town.
…or should I say it’s a substitute?
That day, a well-dressed man with a round body came to the Ugetsu store. He said he wanted to draw a blind box.
I don’t know where the blame comes from... the rich people.
If ten shots don't come out, draw twenty; if twenty don't come out, draw thirty.
Kakashi, who was still raw, went to refill the second box. He didn't leave with satisfaction until he got the hidden action version of Namikaze Minato Hero Egg.
Hatake Kakashi originally thought he was a fan of the teacher from somewhere.
After asking, I found out that he was just a businessman who came to sell goods, and he was just entrusted to smoke.
"...Why not buy it directly?"
Hatake Kakashi raised an eyebrow.
He couldn't quite understand why people would snap up things they could buy as if they didn't need money.
"...How do you know he didn't buy it?"
The businessman said implicitly.
It’s just because I have other items that I specially picked up this dreamy hidden model.
Hatake Kakashi: "..."
I don't really understand what these rich people think.
After the businessman finished speaking, he said to him again:
To be continued...
