On the application of plant zombies in the world of Naruto
Chapter 23: Jin Man Tang and the Corn Pitcher
Without mentioning what the brother and sister were planning, Senju Hashirama took his brother aside and told him about his experience of going to Uchiha.
"Tobirama Tobirama, it's such a shame that you don't go."
Senju Hashirama sighed, "The Uchiha family is really beautiful."
"The shape of our house is different. Their houses all have those high upturned eaves."
Tobirama is practicing with his sword. There are no missions recently. If he doesn't practice hard, his skills will become rusty.
"Brother, that's called Feiyan."
All wooden components such as the pillars, sidings, railings, etc. used in the Senju family's house are plain and rarely decorated. The whole house has clear geometric shapes, straight lines, sharp edges and corners, and the tall beams give it a grand and simple feel, which is very similar to the character of the Senju clan.
The Uchiha family's house has many more decorations. There is a bracket structure on the eaves, and the eaves at the corners are curled upwards, as if flying, light and agile.
"It is said that where Tachibana-sama lives, they even paved a very beautiful courtyard with sand and stones. I don't know what's so beautiful about sand and stones."
With Hashirama making such a fuss, he couldn't continue practicing. Tobirama simply put away his sword and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Brother, that's called Karesansui, a garden style that nobles love very much. You should have some common sense."
Hashirama didn't know what dry landscape architecture was. He just felt that sand and stones were not as lively as the flowers and plants planted in his own yard.
He squatted on the ground and continued to talk.
"The rice they provided was also very delicious. There was a big bowl of rice with thick slices of meat on top. The meat seemed to have been fried in oil, so it was very crispy, but very tender on the inside. It was super delicious when eaten with the rice! Super satisfying!"
"You haven't eaten it, so I don't know how to describe the taste to you."
"Suck it-"
Senju Hashirama swallowed hard.
Tobirama rejected Uchiha's temptation of food and analyzed calmly,
"Even the recipe has come out. It seems that the Uchiha family wants to expand the sales of their walnut oil."
Hashirama nodded, he thought so too.
"We also visited their mill and felt that it was very serious. There were people in the yard explaining the rules and supervising the operation."
"The millstone inside is also larger than the average millstone and requires two or three people to push it together."
"Evil Uchiha."
"It can't be called evil. I've talked to the villagers working there. They take turns to rest every hour. Every day when they get off work, they get food as payment. Uchiha will also provide them with meals at noon."
"This already makes them much better off than those farmers who work in the fields with little clothing and no food."
Senju Hashirama sighed and held his face in dismay.
"Why do these people who don't actually grow food live better?"
Whether they were ninjas, nobles, or people working for the Uchiha family, they all lived better than farmers.
After a short moment of melancholy, Senju Hashirama mentioned another matter.
"I also heard that they seem to have some tool that can extract oil very quickly and conveniently."
Hearing this, Tobirama became interested.
He had been to an oil mill to do tasks before, so he knew how troublesome and laborious it was to press oil.
"Brother, have you seen what this tool looks like? Or did they mention what parts are inside it?"
"That thing is a secret of the Uchiha clan. How could they let me see it? It seems that even Lord Tachibana has never seen it."
"It would be nice if Madara and I were still friends."
Senju Tobirama skillfully ignored Hashirama's words.
Madara, madara, all you do is talk about Uchiha Madara every day.
"But workers who have used this tool said that they can put their walnuts in through one opening, and then turn it with one hand, and oil will flow out of the second opening, and the third opening will come out of the walnut residue that has been squeezed for oil."
Senju Tobirama was startled, "Turn? Are you sure it's turning?"
Senju Hashirama thought about it again and nodded.
"Well, that's what he said."
Senju Tobirama muttered to himself, "Turning... then it might be driven by gears or a screw... a screw? If it is pushing the walnut with pressure by rotating..."
Immediately, he clapped his hands and looked at Senju Hashirama who was still squatting on the ground pretending to be Xiaohua.
"Brother, I think I have guessed how they did it. Come and help me. I need someone to work with me on ironwork."
Senju Hashirama rose from the ground.
"it is good!"
------
The much-anticipated daimyo's birthday has arrived.
The gift from the young prince, Akira Enichi, was a dish he had made himself, which was quite popular with the daimyo.
When the daimyo told this story, he even pretended to be serious and criticized his youngest son.
"A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. Children just don't behave properly."
But he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"The 10-year-old little prince actually endured the high temperature and danger of the kitchen and made a dish full of filial piety for his father with his own hands! This is such a touching thing!!!"
Kisuke was the first to start crying.
"My filial piety is not as good as yours, little prince! When my father was alive, I never thought of making a meal for him on his birthday!!"
The daimyo was even happier after hearing this.
"Hahahaha, my son's filial piety is the best gift for this birthday!"
Daimyo was very happy to receive such a gift, which was childish but showed the filial piety of his youngest son. But when he looked back at the embroidery given by his eldest son, which could only be bought with money, he felt a little dissatisfied.
All the property that the eldest son used was given by him, but in the end, he did not prepare the gift in return for his father carefully, but just bought something with money.
"Let's name this dish Jin Man Tang."
"I also hope that all of you ministers can have families filled with filial sons like mine."
The next day, Jin Mantang became popular.
Since only the daimyo had eaten the young prince's gift, even the ministers who attended the birthday banquet could not imagine the taste and cooking method of Jin Mantang.
The chefs in the entire capital could only guess what kind of dish it was based on the little description of appearance and aroma provided by the host.
But in the end I couldn't find the right way.
Three days later, Uchiha officially launched the Jin Man Tang series of dishes.
Tachibana was the first to go to the new store. Although he had some intention of showing goodwill to the Uchiha family, he really missed this dish.
Seeing someone go in, the other diners followed closely and sat down calmly, but their eyes kept lingering on Tachibana.
Tachibana took the wet towel handed over by the waiter and washed his hands. He pointed to the menu hanging in the store and said skillfully,
"I'll have one portion of fish and shrimp from the Jin Man Tang series, and salt for the dipping sauce."
Other diners followed suit.
The newly opened Jin Man Tang store only provides 8 seats to ensure that every dish served to customers can be delivered to them in a timely manner. This is the pursuit of quality.
After all, only a few diners rush into the store first, and more people can only squeeze outside the store and stand on tiptoe to look inside.
The Uchiha chef was the first apprentice brought up by Mrs. Mikiko, so naturally he received the true teachings from Mrs. Mikiko.
On the first day of opening the restaurant, the diners who came in without hesitation to experience it were either rich or noble, and he also cooked according to the method that Mrs. Mikiko had originally taught Tachibana.
He skillfully heats the oil in a pan, prepares the ingredients, and makes the batter.
In front of all the diners, these actions make the diners feel more at ease.
Even the ingredients are freshly slaughtered, and the freshness of the ingredients is absolutely guaranteed.
The moment the ingredients covered with batter enter the oil pan, the aroma bursts out.
Everyone inside and outside the store took a deep breath at the same time.
Smells so good!!!
------
This winter is prosperous and full of fireworks for the Uchiha.
For the villagers working in the mill, it is warm and well fed.
Even in winter, the mill continued to operate as usual. Not only could people take food home every day, but the inside of the mill was also made to be like spring by the ninjas, so it wasn't cold at all.
The peas planted by the Sixth Elder produced seeds. The seeds of the special peas were larger, while the seeds of the ordinary peas were tenderer.
The yield of special peas is about fifteen times that of ordinary peas.
Uchiha Hirohiko collected them and gave each of them a small handful for Mikiko to taste.
The flavor of Special Peas is no different than Pea Shooter.
Boyan saved all the seeds of other special peas and planned to expand the planting after the spring.
The withered pods of the Pea Shooter summoned this year were collected by Boyan just like last year.
However, the Pea Shooter, who has upgraded to a double-shot pea shooter using the sunshine patch, is still full of energy in winter.
It did not wither and produced no pods.
……
In the new year, perhaps I have seen more about the role of food for common people, nobles, and families.
Kyojuro increasingly hoped that he could summon another edible plant.
This year he chose the Wood Release hand seals that Uncle Madara had learned from Hashirama Senju.
When Tajima heard that his son had started to contact the Wood Release User of the Senju family again, he did not forbid it strictly as before. Instead, he slightly emphasized that Kyojuro's existence must not be revealed, and then left it alone.
Yin - Xu - Si
Although he still cannot perform ninjutsu very well, Kyojuro's hand seal speed has improved greatly.
Three handprints and two seconds to finish
Clang!
Accompanied by a sweet fragrance,
【Corn Pitcher】makes a grand appearance!
A golden triangular tower with green leaves at the bottom and top.
The leaves at the top stretch back and actually look like a spoon?
The family came over to observe. Could it be that the plants summoned this time also came with their own tableware?
"Kyojuro, what is this?"
The plants that Kyojuro had summoned before were all variants of plants that already existed on this continent, but they couldn't think of any plants that were similar to the plants they summoned this time.
“It’s corn!”
[Corn Pitcher is the eldest of the Pitcher Brothers. Among the three brothers, only Corn always remembers the birthdays of the other brothers, which makes him a little annoyed with them.]
This is the first time that the panel directly reveals information about subsequent plants.
Are the other two pitchers as tasty as corn?
Thinking of the boiled corn he had eaten in his previous life, Kyojuro was full of expectations for the three pitcher brothers.
"corn……"
“The surface is indeed round and shiny like jade.”
"Does this also eat the main body like the Nut Wall?"
Uchiha Madara poked the corn and found that the surface was soft and there was no need to shell it.
Kyojuro shook his head. "It's like a pea. It needs a target. It will throw its seeds out."
投?
It turns out that what's on Corn's head is not cutlery, but a weapon.
They got down to work right away, and the target that had been previously ravaged by the Pea Shooter was brought out again.
Suddenly, one of the round corn kernels on the corn pitcher's body was missing, and one more corn kernel appeared in the leaves above its head.
Judging from the size, it is slightly smaller than the pea in the Pea Shooter.
Phew—pop!
The target on top was hit by the corn kernels and shook twice, but finally fell down.
"Wow!"
Looking at the missing piece on the corn pitcher, it has actually grown back.
"The frequency of corn being thrown is much lower than that of peas..."
Wouldn’t the output be low?
"Father, I'm not sure how this will be used yet. It's a bit early to consider the production volume."
Uchiha Madara reminded, and at the same time raised his hand to call over Maomao, imprinted his pupil power in its eyes, and used it to notify the Sixth Elder.
Kyojuro raised his hand high, "Let's cook one first!"
He really wanted to eat boiled corn, and also grilled corn with miso.
suck-
……
When Uchiha Boyan excitedly arrived at the clan leader's house, he saw several people gathered around the pot, scooping food to eat.
There is also a small stove next to it, on which special plants are roasting.
"..."
"Master! You are here! This is for you! It is super delicious!!"
Kyojuro was the first to notice Boyan's arrival. He happily rushed over, took his master's hand and began to recommend corn.
"This is called corn. It's sweet and sticky when boiled in water, and it's salty and fragrant when coated with miso and grilled. Master, which one do you want to eat first?"
Looking at the young apprentice's excited smile and sparkling eyes, Boyan swallowed back what he was about to say.
"...I want to eat cooked food."
“Okay!!”
……
The moment the boiled corn entered his mouth, Uchiha Boyan realized that this was another plant that could serve as a staple food.
Just based on its glutinous texture, it can even be compared directly with rice.
...wait, rice...
Rice has oil...
When Boyan thought of this possibility, he became nervous.
"Tajima, where is your millstone? Madara go and help."
"Izuna, help me stop a few corn kernels and cut them horizontally layer by layer."
"Kyojuro, ask Maomao to ask Mrs. Mikiko to come over."
"Haoyi, ask your master to bring your small oil press over here."
Oil press?!
Ban was shocked. "Elder Boyan, can this corn not only be used as a staple food, but also used to extract oil?"
Boyan nodded, "I'm 80% sure."
(The prototype of the corn pitcher should be the popcorn that is used to make popcorn, but this kind of corn is only suitable for making popcorn, and I prefer sticky corn (hehe), so I changed it to sticky corn. Babies who like to eat sweet corn can wait for our Sixth Elder to cultivate new varieties. I believe that with Uchiha's sweet party cultivation, sweet corn will be bred soon!)
