Hands responded with a sound, but this time his movements were much faster. In just over two minutes, the steaming hot ramen was brought out. There were two portions, in addition to Lei Luo's bowl, there was also a bowl of Nezhu's.
Noticing that Naoshu didn't speak, but handed the ramen to the other party with ease, as if there was a tacit understanding between the two, Lei Luo couldn't help but curiously asked: "Naoshu, have you always come here to eat before?"
After sucking in the last noodle, Shen Shu took out a tissue and wiped his mouth. He exhaled hot air with a comfortable face. Hearing Lei Luo's question, he turned around and answered with a smile:
"Hokage-sama, you don't know, but I discovered this shop half a year ago. The boss's craftsmanship and character are quite good, so I often come here for lunch and dinner."
When Teida saw Naoki praising himself in front of Lei Luo, the smile on his face seemed to be a little brighter, and he added a few words casually: "Naoki has been praised for his patience. As long as you like Ichiraku Ramen, then I will do it."
Already contented."
"I would be very embarrassed to praise me in person like this."
Looking at Shoudai's humble and proud face, Lei Luo couldn't help but become a little interested in this small ramen shop owner, and immediately asked: "Shoudai, Naoki said that he discovered this place half a year ago, that is,
Tell me, were you one of the victims of the May 26 incident?"
Hearing Lei Luo take the initiative to bring up this topic, Shou Dao carefully looked at the face of the Hokage. Seeing that he looked calm as if he was just asking a casual question, he thought for a while and then nodded and replied:
"Yes, Hokage-sama, the original store was destroyed in the battle on May 26th. The current store was rebuilt by me using up all my family's savings."
Hearing this, Lei Luo frowned slightly and asked, "I remember that all property losses caused by the May 26 Incident were borne by the village finance and real estate developers. Didn't you receive any subsidies?"
Although Lei Luo's tone was calm, Shou Da obviously sensed some unusual meaning in it. He hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but look at the rope tree beside him.
After getting a look of "just tell the truth", Shandang turned back to look at Lei Luo. He pursed his lips with a tangled look on his face. He noticed that Lei Luo's eyes were gradually becoming impatient, so he had to bite the bullet and said:
"Hokage-sama, although the village finance has given compensation to small businesses like us who were harmed, the amount is only fifty thousand taels. This amount of money is obviously not enough to do business in Konoha, where land is at a premium."
"Of course, I won't complain about the village. After all, it was Uchiha Madara, the terrorist, who caused all this. Having this compensation proves that the village still cares about us civilians, and I am very satisfied."
Fifty thousand taels is equivalent to 500,000 yen. In the currency system of Naruto's world, its purchasing power is equivalent to 500,000 yen in Lei Luo's previous life. When converted into RMB, it is about more than 30,000 yuan.
In today's Konoha Village, due to the rapid development of all walks of life, the more than 30,000 yuan is only enough to buy one or two square meters of a residential building, which is not the center of the village.
Therefore, there is definitely something wrong with the compensation received by hand.
Almost immediately, Lei Luo thought that there might be corruption among his men, which immediately made him lose the mood to eat, and he felt like there was a fire coming out of his heart.
Taking a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. In order not to frighten his hands, Lei Luo forced out a smile and asked in a gentle tone:
"Shou Da, do you remember exactly where and from whom you received these fifty thousand taels?"
Perhaps because of so many years of opening a store, his ability to observe words and emotions with his hands has been honed to perfection. Therefore, at this moment, when facing Lei Luo's seemingly calm gaze, he just felt a thump in his heart, secretly thinking something bad.
"Lord Hokage..."
With a bitter look on his face, he hesitated for a long time without answering.
If he had a choice, he would not be willing to get involved in the internal disputes among the ninja masters and put himself in danger.
There is a problem with the compensation, which Shou Da has realized a long time ago, but the matters related to disaster compensation are only new policies implemented by the village in recent years, and there was no mention of this before.
To put it simply, it's good to have it, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't. After all, although Konoha Village has never been attacked, it is still strictly a military base, and any unexpected situation is possible.
In comparison, Konoha is already much better than other places in the ninja world.
What Shandai said before was indeed true. He was content with getting the fifty thousand taels. Therefore, even though he knew that the amount of money was somewhat wrong, and as mentioned in the policy, the village finance was responsible for the losses of the common people.
It hasn't been fully implemented, but I still don't have any lingering thoughts about it.
If I could sum up the purpose of hand beating in four words, it would be to be wise and protect yourself.
After all, no matter what kind of problems arise within Konoha's management, they are still a matter for the ninjas and the big shots. How dare a mere civilian to question the wrong outcome of the village's financial management? He doesn't want to live anymore?
Unexpectedly, today, when the Hokage-sama came here, I wanted to look familiar in front of the Hokage-sama, so I eagerly stepped forward to chat, but I accidentally let it slip, exposing the fact that the compensation amount was insufficient.
matter.
The Hokage-sama's temperament is known to everyone, but he has heard about it. Therefore, he now only feels tens of thousands of regrets in his heart, regretting that he said something he shouldn't have said.
If there is a problem with the village's finances, Lord Hokage will definitely take action to deal with a group of people. If the outside world, such as the family members of those unlucky ninjas, know that it was his hand that exposed the problem in front of Lord Hokage, then...
Anger, resentment, revenge, attacks, and even assassinations...these consequences are completely predictable.
However, as a small owner of a ramen shop and an unarmed civilian, what could he do to protect himself in such a situation?
With a grunt, he swallowed and noticed that the Hokage's eyes were gradually turning cold. He knew that he could not avoid it, but the remaining sense of luck still made him stutter and say:
"Lord Hokage, I...I can tell you the truth, but, but I hope you can..."
"Protect you?" After the second half of Shou Da's sentence, Lei Luo was silent for a moment, then raised his head, looked at Shou Da seriously, and said word by word: "Don't worry, in this conversation today, there will be no one except you and me.
, no one will know, I promise.”
Shengshu glanced at Lei Luo sadly, wanting to say something, but finally closed his mouth.
