Konoha: Rock Lee's Counterattack

Chapter 50: Experiences in Emerald River City

As the capital of the River Kingdom, Emerald River City is very prosperous. A wide river runs through the city. The river is covered with moss and aquatic plants. It will appear the same color as jade under the sun. Hence the name Emerald River.

The emerald green river water can prove that the water quality is rich in nutrients and can support a large number of fish and shrimps. Moreover, the water flow is flowing and will not silt and deteriorate, causing the river water to stink. The River Kingdom relies on this river that they regard as their mother river to thrive. .

And thanks to this big river, the trade industry of the River Country is extremely prosperous, and goods flow very quickly through water transportation, saving a lot of manpower and material resources. Even though the River Country is just an insignificant and small country, it is different from the Fire Country and the Fire Country. The country of wind, the country of rain, the country of grass, and the country of rivers are all bordering each other.

And as a small country, it plays the role of a trade intermediary among these five countries. Relying on the various tributaries of the Fei River, it can connect and trade cash crops, specialties, materials and other things from the surrounding five countries with each other. Through commercial transactions and water canals, People in this country live a prosperous life and don’t worry about money and food.

The Green Bridge in the Country of Rivers is a landmark building in this country. It spans both sides of the Fei River. On both sides of the bridge, there are places where traders and footmen do business, mostly selling delicious and fun things. In the middle, there are carriages and horses, which are mostly used to escort supplies to the country. Cross-strait dispatch.

A strange monk wearing moon-white robes walked past on the green bridge. He was holding a string of Buddhist beads that started to glow purple. He also had a strange-shaped knife slung across his waist. He looked like a young man. Such a weird monk attracted the attention of many people.

The young monk didn't pay attention to others, but when he saw some stalls that he had never eaten before, he would stop and buy one to try. This young monk was none other than Locke Li.

After arriving in the River Country, the surrounding smells began to become mixed, and his sense of smell no longer worked. He vaguely remembered that their mission client was a man named Nakagawa Keiichi, and it was said that their family was very famous in this country. From the looks of it, you can probably tell where their mansion is by just asking a few people.

Locke Li passed by a small shop on the Cuiqiao that said "Tempura Fish and Shrimp Zai" and smelled it. It smelled very fragrant. How can you go to a country and not taste the country's special delicacies? Although Li Luoke Locke usually doesn't spend much money, but if you are poor and rich, you can't suffer yourself. If you can eat good food, you should eat good food.

"Boss, what delicious food do you have here?"

"~It's a guest... Al turns out to be a young chef. Do you want a vegetarian tempura?"

The owner of the tempura shop looked up to say hello when he saw the customer, but was stunned when he saw the monk-like Rock Lee.

"No, I want to eat your specialty, the nastiest kind."

The owner of the tempura shop was shocked and said: "Shouldn't Nani monks all eat fast and chant Buddha? Is it really okay to eat meat?"

Locke Li didn't explain that he was not a monk. He was wearing the clothes he was wearing now and had a shiny bald head. If he wanted to explain it seriously, he would have to explain it to many people. Locke Li was just calm. road:

"Food and wine have passed through the intestines, but they remain in the heart of the Buddha. If people in the world follow me, it will be like falling into the devil's way. I can do this, but you should not learn from me, because I am feeding the devil with my body."

The owner of the tempura shop scratched his head and said: "Although I don't understand it very well, it seems to be very profound. So~ what do you want to eat, little master?"

The owner of the tempura shop stopped trying to persuade him. After all, he was not a Buddhist. Who had the right to kick the diners out when they came to taste delicious food in his shop? He could only shake his head and secretly sigh that people are not ancient. , the monks on the mountain couldn't help themselves and ran down the mountain to steal the fish.

"I came in because I smelled the particularly tempting smell of your food outside the store. Naturally, I wanted to eat your best food."

The tempura shop smiled and said: "Of course, young master, you are quite discerning. My family has been running a tempura shop on this green bridge since my father's generation.

Our tempura uses freshly slaughtered fish from the Feihe River. After two generations of our family’s continuous improvement of the recipe, it is now a famous dish in the land of rivers. "

"Oh~ By the way, I want a super large portion, the bigger the better."

The owner of the tempura shop was surprised at first when he heard this, and then said meaningfully: "I know how to eat."

"I've been waiting for a long time. This is our restaurant's signature dish, the huge tempura jade rice bowl of the punting hero."

A bowl large enough to be used as a washing basin was placed in front of Locke Li. The bottom layer was filled with a huge amount of rice from the Country of Rain, and the layer above was cabbage imported from the Country of Grass to relieve fatigue. Shredded green onions and sour red ginger.

On top is the tempura made from the emerald fish from Kawakuni, and the fried shrimp made from fresh sea prawns imported from Kawakuni complement each other. Finally, the boss took out a jar with... The secret sauce developed by two generations of their family is poured onto the jade rice bowl, and the alluring aroma is brought out.

"Most of the men in our River Kingdom make a living by punting boats for others. Every day they are exposed to wind and sun and have to control the course of a ship loaded with cargo in the fast river.

Therefore, it consumes a lot of physical and mental energy, so exquisite cuisine is useless in this country. Only a large amount of carbohydrates and enough protein will gain the favor of the people.

The tempura jade rice bowl in our restaurant is a delicacy specially made for boatmen. Anyone who can eat such a huge portion must be a boating hero. I haven’t seen anyone who can eat it in a long time. You, my little master. If you can eat it, I’ll give you a 5% discount.”

"Then I'll start"

Tempura is a specialty delicacy of Neon, known as "tempura for everything", and the tempura of River Country is integrated into the local food culture.

The fried shrimp tempura, coated in special bread crumbs and deep-fried, has just the right texture. The fried emerald fish, a specialty of River Country, is especially delicious when paired with the store's secret sauce.

In the astonished eyes of the tempura shop owner, Rock Lee ate up a bowl of his special "Pole Hero Giant Tempura Jade Rice Bowl" at an extremely fast speed.

The owner of the tempura shop handed over a glass of juice: "Young master, you have such a big appetite. You have broken the fastest record in our shop, 12 minutes faster than the previous record holder. You must have been hungry in the temple."

Locke Li smiled and said nothing, just drinking the juice silently, joking that he could tell the shop owner that he could eat two more bowls.

Due to financial constraints, eating a bowl of local specialties would satisfy his craving. Anyway, he had almost figured out the cooking method after eating it, and he would be able to make similar dishes when he went back.

After finishing his meal, Locke Li looked a little leisurely, but suddenly his expression changed back to an indifferent and cold look. He had just entered the restaurant to eat without paying attention, and accidentally noticed four wanted notices posted on the side wall in an inconspicuous place.

Astonishingly, it was the portrait of the three members of Jiang Shouyou's team and Locke Li. Below it was written that the key criminals of the River Country were rewarded with a hundred taels of gold for reporting the same.

The portrait is still the same as Locke Li's before. Locke Li changed his appearance into a monk because he put on "broken Buddhist robes" before entering the city.

Others did not associate him with the person in the portrait at all, which allowed him to escape. Rock Li put down the juice cup and asked calmly:

"Boss, what crimes did the people on the wanted notice commit? When was this wanted notice issued?"

"Oh, what are you talking about? Yesterday afternoon, a group of people from the police team came to post this reward notice door to door, saying that they had stolen the national treasure of the River Country.

I heard that two of them have been caught, and the whereabouts of one is unknown. The last one with the short hair was posted this morning... The eyes of the short hair look a bit like yours... "

"..."

Zheng~

The head of the tempura shop owner fell to the ground quietly, without a cry, without a drop of blood flowing out. Locke Li felt neither sadness nor joy, and the blood did not splash on the monk's clothes. Locke Li did not even have murderous intentions. Naturally, This "Breaking Buddha's Clothes" does not have the change of turning red as mentioned in the introduction.

If the tempura boss hadn't said those two words at the end, he wouldn't have lost his life. Moreover, the way he looked at Rock Lee also changed, and he was obviously beginning to doubt Rock Lee.

Their team was wanted by the River Country, and his teammates were imprisoned, causing him to fail in his first mission, and he still couldn't get his commission. The fact that he was wanted nationwide made him very angry.

It doesn't matter how seriously injured you are when you encounter a strong enemy during the mission, but breaking the promise by crossing the river and destroying the bridge is something Rock Lee cannot accept. Faced with so many bounties, the entire River Country may be his enemy.

Since they are all enemies, Rock Li must minimize the threat. He has not yet figured out the situation, and his whereabouts should not be exposed before then.

Locke Li kicked the owner's body into the kitchen waste bin, turned around and pulled down the store's rolling shutter door. He didn't eat well just now and no one asked him to pay the bill, so he simply used the remaining ingredients to make two big bowls of it. First.

~~~~There is no dividing line between murderous intentions~~~~

ps: In fact, there are only a few words difference between the shop owner killing and not killing. I threw a coin and it was tails, so I’m sorry.
