"We are short of manpower."

Yuyue looked at her only two employees and felt worried. Although the two of them almost took on the work of four people, judging from the current situation, they were still unable to do what they wanted.

To be honest, Ugetsu actually considered the possibility of insufficient staff.

But in her mind, that should be a problem that she would have to face later. At this stage, adding 15 Uchihas should be enough.

She really underestimated the enthusiasm of people in Konoha Village for new gadgets.

In fact, speaking of it, Ugetsu just happened to hit him at this time.

Earlier, Konoha was in a state of war. Although the villages in the rear were safe, the atmosphere in a village built with ninjas as its core would not be much better if the ninjas were at war.

Later, when the war is completely over, the connection with the outside world will be even closer. When people are free to roam the nearby streets, they will not care so much about the new things in the village.

It was only natural that Ugetsu's blind box business, which happened to be at its best during this period, became popular throughout Konoha.

"Should we still hire someone?"

While Shisui was talking, he didn't stop wrapping the blind box in his hand.

After the day’s business ends, it’s naturally time to replenish supplies.

The inventory of the 50 and 100 gears has almost been cleared out - this is the result of the limited-time marketing that has been implemented in Ugetsu. If there are no restrictions, their stocking speed will definitely not be as fast as the purchasing speed of people who have become avid blind box enthusiasts.

.

And this is another place that Ugetsu didn't expect.

Although Konoha Village looks very old and primitive, the people's economic situation is very healthy. Even after being held back for several years due to the war, they have more desire to consume than before.

"Yes, you are now responsible for the work of the syrup. It would be too heavy to leave all the errands and sales of the syrup to Itachi alone."

Although Itachi is very capable at work, there are limits to what kindergarten children can do.

Forget it for a day or two, but now it seems that the number of people will only increase rather than decrease, and it is no longer enough for Itachi to come alone.

"It's best to free Shisui from the task of making syrup."

Although Tang Xi has certain skills, if you really want to say it, it is actually a kind of repetitive work. It is really unfair to limit talents like Shisui to only this type of work.

In addition, although she had been keeping Shisui for a year, the orders of the village and Uchiha were above hers, so he had to step aside to do tasks if necessary.

Still have to recruit another alternative.

"But before that, let's finalize the drinks and snacks first."

"Shisui, have you contacted the people in Uchiha Street?"

"Yes, you have already agreed, you can do it at any time...but is this really okay?"

Although Shisui helped contact him, he still had some concerns.

"If it's because of me..."

Uchiha Shisui hesitated to speak.

As a ninja, his understanding is still at the stage where 'ninja' and 'ninja origin' are inseparable. Therefore, he naturally thinks that the other party chose Uchiha because of him.

"That's not true." Ugetsu interrupted Uchiha Shisui.

"I have my own plans."

Yuyue plans to cooperate with surrounding merchants to sell tea and drinks. The entrance of her store is crowded all day long, and there are so many atmosphere groups. When there are more people, there will naturally be a demand for food and drinks.

And where there is demand, there is a market.

If you want to do business, you must not ignore the market.

As for why he chose Uchiha... In addition to the fact that Shisui was an acquaintance who was easy to talk to, it was also because the Uchiha clan had a closed loop of real estate sales and basically would not form a competitive relationship with her.

Although the price here will definitely be a bit more expensive than outside because it does not cooperate with the source manufacturer, but it is close here. People will naturally not spend a lot of money on buying 'non-essential' blind boxes.

Pay attention to this small price difference.

Just like if a bottle of mineral water costs 10 yuan in a scenic spot, someone will still pay for it.

Those customers who live a budget-conscious life are not her target users at this stage.

And for those who are ‘not short of money’… if you buy it here, you will also have a chance to win a lucky draw!

In addition to the classic 'one more bottle', there are also 'blind box vouchers' and the classic points card that allows you to get a blind box voucher if you accumulate 300 taels.

In this way, more merchants will not have to worry about accumulating goods, and on the other hand, customers queuing up will not have to go far to buy drinks to quench their thirst elsewhere.

A win-win situation, perfect.

As for her helping the two solve their urgent needs and making money on the price difference - is that a problem? She makes money with her brain, what's the problem?

It's up to her to earn as much as she wants.

The 'blind box shop' in the new day is still very busy - yes, Uzuki's shop now has its own name in Konoha, that is the 'blind box shop'. Of course, for children, it may be a 'sugar shop'

It's more famous. But no matter which one can leave an impression on people, that's a good thing.

"Brother Shisui, there's not enough sugar syrup."

Uchiha Itachi took a moment to poke his head in from outside.

"right away!"

While Shisui was boiling the new syrup, he went to pick up the finished product that had been boiled and placed.

To be honest, he didn't expect business to be so good... no, so popular.

He agreed at first just because he didn't want to waste time, and besides, it was really pitiful for Yuyue to be alone, so he thought he would help if he could.

I didn't expect that she could actually persuade the Hokage to agree to that 'year-round' service.

But he will definitely not go back on what he promised.

"Brother Shisui?"

Itachi, who had left and returned, couldn't help but frown when he looked at the stunned 'genius within the clan'.

A face full of accusations of ‘how can you be so dazed during working hours’.

"Sorry, sorry, I'll be fine soon."

Shisui said, taking out the syrup he had prepared earlier.

There was already a long queue of children buying syrup in front.

If you look closely, there are even some ninja children.

Just like Shisui and Itachi, they also realized the joy of playing with candy.

Not only them, but even adults who love blind boxes can't help but buy one and queue up to play with it.

The side business of drinks and snacks is also going smoothly as Ugetsu planned.

People may not feel it when they are excited, but as soon as the excitement passes, the feelings of hunger and thirst will emerge. Naturally, they will want to eat or drink something.

In addition, there are various activities here in Yuyue, so people naturally don't mind spending the extra money for three melons and two dates.

Yuyue is also very satisfied with this.

This way, let alone next month, you don’t have to worry about the treatment costs for the next month or even half a year.

And with extra money on hand, I can even consider developing new products.

But before that, the top priority is still to find a hard-working new employee.

Ugetsu, who had already experienced the joy of ninja employees, naturally immediately focused on those ninjas who had not recovered their due value due to various reasons after the war.

It's true that ninjas can't be hired for a long time, which is troublesome, but it's more cost-effective to have ninjas who are obedient and keep secrets during the mission than ordinary people who don't know the details.

"Ah, Miss Ugetsu?"

As soon as they reached the Hokage's office building, Ugetsu heard a somewhat familiar voice.

She turned her head and was blinded by a golden light. After a few seconds, she noticed that it was not a light, but a blond young man standing under the light.

"Namikaze...Minato?"

Yuyue remembered who he was. He was like a walking sunbeam, and she had only seen this one in this world.

"Ah, it's me."

Although it was just a one-sided relationship for Ugetsu, the same could not be said for Namikaze Minato.

He had met her earlier.

That was when I was at Konoha Hospital. During the war, medical ninjas were very busy.

She was sitting alone on the hospital bench, as if she had been forgotten. She was still a child, but her eyes were lifeless and hopeless.

Although I don't know her, her appearance is deeply imprinted in my mind.

Namikaze Minato couldn't describe what he felt at that time, but at that moment, he had such an idea.

‘I don’t want to see children with such expressions again’.

I want the war to end quickly.
To be continued...
