On the application of plant zombies in the world of Naruto

The first month of the lunar year had just ended when good news came from the corn processing workshop, saying that the tribe had made new breakthroughs in new technology for producing corn flour.

It is no longer a simple matter of drying the corn kernels and then crushing them. Instead, the corn kernels are first put into water and then fermented with yeast for two or three days. After the corn kernels have completely absorbed water and expanded, they are put into a pulper and ground into corn pulp, and the skins of the corn kernels are sieved out.

The corn pulp is then squeezed and filtered to reduce its water content. The wet powder can then be transported into the tribe and made directly into noodles or steamed buns.

It is not difficult to transport it out for sale. You just need to add an extra drying step. Dry the wet powder and then you can sell it like ordinary corn flour.

Of course, in order to distinguish the two types of corn flour, the product obtained after this technological breakthrough was named "premium corn flour".

In order to make the tribe members intuitively understand the difference between the two products, Mrs. Mikiko specially invited the Uchiha people in the tribe who are good at cooking to organize a boutique corn flour food festival together.

From steamed buns to ramen, every kind of pasta is made into two versions: ordinary corn flour and premium corn flour. Needless to say, the difference between the two will naturally become apparent after just one taste.

"The color is pure, the taste is fresh, and it's much softer than the one made with ordinary corn flour. Does adding a fermentation step make such a big difference?"

"It's so smooth, and the soup doesn't get muddy after the noodles are cooked. It solves the problem of the rough texture of ordinary corn flour."

"At this point, we should consider selling it to the nobles."

Uchiha Madara announced on the spot, "It's feasible. The relevant people will come to a meeting this afternoon."

"Mrs. Mikiko, I'm going to ask you to come up with the recipe this time."

Mikiko smiled and said, "Leave it to me!"

It is a pleasure to be able to do what you like as a career.

……

The subsequent arrangements of the food festival had nothing to do with kids like Kyojuro. After a big meal, they returned to their daily training.

Kyojuro also took some time out to study the first plant that the New Year calls for - cattail - with his uncle who was unemployed at home.

Since he can now summon aquatic plants, Uchiha Haoyi specially built a huge water tank with a wide brim in the yard, the kind that can hold two or three people, and covered the bottom with silt dug from the lake, just in case of emergency.

The dog at home likes to soak in it when he has nothing to do, and he can use water escape to change the water at any time.

He made a Si seal and summoned Cattail directly into the water tank.

Uchiha Tajima looked at a white cat head with a pink hat floating on the water, and felt like he had strayed into some demonic world.

“…Is this a plant?”

Although he didn't know why the cattail had a cat's head, it was indeed a plant, and Kyojuro nodded decisively.

"All right……"

Tajima just felt it was weird. Although the ones Kyojuro had planted before were also weird, at least they were plants. This one was obviously a cat's head.

There are also eyes and a mouth, and the eyes can move!

He carefully poked the cat's ear with the kunai handle.

"Wang!"

Tajima took three steps back instantly. Wow! He can scream!!!

"Wait, did it just bark?"

"A cat's head, barking dogs??? Seriously???"

Isogai, who was originally lying beside the water tank and watching the show from close range, was frightened and left the water tank and crawled quickly towards Kyojuro.

Kyojuro looked at the introduction of Cattail on the panel.

[“Woof!” Cattail said, “Woof woof woof! Are you confused? Do you expect me to meow like a cat just because I look like a cat? That kind of thinking doesn’t work here. I don’t want to be categorized without permission.”]

He understood that the cat head was just a mimicry of Cattail, just like Muzan Kibutsuji could be male or female, old or young.

"It just looks like a cat, um, yes, its calls are learned randomly, but it can't imitate the complex language of humans."

Xiang Pu cried out again at the right time, this time it turned into a scream

“Wow——!!!!”

The devil's sound pierces my ears!

The two men and the beast could only retreat back into the house, half covering their ears and getting closer to communicate loudly.

"Can this weird thing be eaten?!"

Kyojuro confirmed the prompt on the panel again: "The cat head part tastes good and is very delicious. It can be eaten raw."

Although it was strange and he didn't know why a plant would specifically state that it tasted delicious and could be eaten raw, he still decided to believe the panel.

“The cat head part is edible!!”

Tajima decided to trust Dabaobei, and when the cattail's call stopped, he raised his knife and cut the cat's head off the whole cattail.

"Ah, the eyes are not moving."

Holding the severed cat head, Tajima repeatedly brainwashed himself: This is just the fruit of a plant, hold on! !

Kyojuro carefully looked at the part that was still in the water tank. After a moment,

"Uncle, the cattails in the water are still alive. The cat heads you took away are probably just its false fruits. Its roots, stems, and cattail sticks are still there, and it can still attack."

After so many years of study, Kyojuro has a basic understanding of plants. Cattail sticks are the real seeds of cattail, and the eye-catching cat head in front is probably a false fruit to attract attacks, protect the seeds, and provide nutrition.

The only difference is that the false fruit is usually wrapped around the seed, but the false fruit of this cattail is separated from the seed. (For example, the cat head ≈ the flesh of the apple, and the cattail stick behind ≈ the apple core)

"Let's keep this plant at home. I want to see if it can grow another cat head."

Tajima said bleakly, "Okay..."

He walked quickly back to the room, and the moment he put the cat's head in his hand on the chopping board, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Kyojuro was also standing next to the chopping board, holding Isogai in his arms.

"Can it really be eaten?"

“Yes, and it can be eaten raw.”

"it is good!"

Tajima chose to believe in his big baby who had never made any mistakes!

He put on his apron! He picked up his kitchen knife! He took a deep breath!

With one knife, the cat's head was cut into two pieces.

There was not a drop of blood, but there was some transparent mucus on the knife.

Iso stretched his neck to look inside the cat's head.

It turned out to be garlic meat.

Tajima also recognized it.

Why does this texture look so much like fish meat?

What on earth is it!

Tajima then followed the texture and took out the meat from the cat's head in its entirety.

It was finally discovered that the cat's head was just a piece of flesh wrapped in a thick layer of skin, with no bones, no blood vessels, nothing at all.

Even the eyes are just patterns on the skin.

Tiandao suppressed his nausea and cut open the thick skin to take a look. The structure inside was more like that of green onion leaves, and he had no idea how the eyes moved.

Isn't this just an optical illusion?

Although it was cut and looked good, the two men and the beast remained silent as they looked at the crystal clear slices of meat on the plate.

“…It’s so weird, can we really eat it?”

"? What can I eat?"

After the meeting, Madara took Kurama home, but he didn't hear any sound. When he walked into the kitchen, he found his father Kyojuro staring at a plate of sashimi.

Kurama put his arm around Uchiha Madara's shoulder and said, "Let's eat sashimi tonight."

Isobu instantly perked up, "Kurama! Come here and try some good food!"

Jiu Lama didn't suspect anything and used his claws to hook a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.

Tajima, Kyojuro and Isosuke stared at Kurama without blinking, watching it chew the meat a few times and swallow it.

"How about it?"

Jiu Lama smacked his lips. "It's fresh and tender! It doesn't have the earthy smell of lake fish or the salty smell of ocean fish. It's really high quality fish meat. Where did you get it from?"

Seeing that Kurama had eaten and was fine, Tajima then picked up the chopsticks and gently picked up a piece of meat.

Finally, he closed his eyes and stuffed the meat into his mouth.

At the same time, he felt as if he had crossed some incredible bottom line.

Chew chew chew chew chew…

“…It’s really delicious…”

Tiandao opened his eyes and was in disbelief that such a strange thing tasted like fresh fish meat, and even had a hint of the freshness of grass and trees.

"Uncle Grandpa! Can I eat it?"

(O﹃O)

"Not yet, wait for me to go for a physical examination."

Hell Theater

The Grim Reaper, who had just been awakened by the Uzumaki clan and enjoyed a song and dance, and had not received any orders, also saw the two flying souls.

...Huh?

The chakras of these two ninjas have been completely given to the underworld and reincarnated?

?

The God of Death was a little confused. The absorption of chakra has always been very slow. It would be good if he could absorb all the chakra from a ninja in hundreds of years.

Was my sleep so useful this time?

...Then sleep a little longer.
