On the application of plant zombies in the world of Naruto

Pull out the golden saber, break the jasper bottle, thousands of red cherries, a ball of yellow crystal, swallow it and the smell of fireworks disappears, and the sound of ice and snow can be heard from the teeth

After taking a bite of the delicious food, all the tiredness of the whole day is swept away.

It’s sweet and refreshing, and 90% of the melon is edible. This time the pitcher is really here to repay his gratitude!

Tajima ate his share in a few bites, then raised the target to take another one.

"It's surprisingly sweet, almost like honey."

"It looks a bit like a melon, so let's call it a winter melon."

Uchiha Shin followed with a compliment, "After eating it, one's internal organs will feel a cool feeling, the name of the cold melon is very appropriate."

"It's perfect for when your mouth is dry while soaking in a hot spring."

"It's also suitable for eating in summer. I'll ask Linglong if she can make it into smoothie when I get back." Izuna cut two more pieces and handed one to Uchiha Xing.

Linglong was busy with the oil mill and couldn't spare the time, and Sen didn't want to come to Tang Country alone to watch other couples show their love, so he simply didn't come to this event and stayed in the tribe to accompany Linglong.

"You don't need to add extra honey to make this smoothie, but it's a bit troublesome to spit out the seeds."

Hao put all the melon seeds he spat into his palm into the small collection box that the Sixth Elder took out early in the morning.

Kyojuro, who never thought that he would be able to enjoy watermelon freedom in this life, was so absorbed in eating the watermelon that he totally ignored the happy plans of the adults at home for his future business.

Five ants!!!!

Xue and Jin started competing to see who could spit the melon seeds right into the Sixth Elder's small box. You had already taken out a kunai and started studying the structure of the melon seeds.

A group of people held freshly cut melons and walked around the fire in the yard and started cheering.

"Kyojuro is so awesome!!!"

“Sai Gao!!!!”

……

Three days later, Uchiha Madara knocked on the door of the bathroom at home.

"Izuna, are you okay? Do you need Kyojuro to get some medicine from the new elder?"

Uchiha Izuna managed to give himself diarrhea by eating only cold melon and no rice for three days in a row.

"Brother Ban, I'm fine."

Uchiha Madara announced solemnly, "You are not allowed to eat winter melon for this week."

"Did you hear me?"

Izuna replied weakly, "...I know..."

Uchiha Madara sighed and started to prepare ginger sugar water for his brother to drink later. However, when he turned around, he saw Uchiha Tajima coming in with another cold melon.

"Father!!!"

In this family, only he and Kyojuro are reliable!!!

Tajima ran away holding Hangua, but Ban was so angry that he laughed instead. He used his heavenly hand power to exchange his position with Hangua and successfully caught the old father who was the leader in not paying attention to his diet.

"Confiscate the cold melon!"

"Do not!!!!"

Ignoring his old father's wailing, Madara asked Kyojuro to take back the cold melon pitcher.

"Move this to the Sixth Elder's house. Your uncle and great uncle can't stand the slightest test."

It just so happened that the Sixth Elder didn’t really like these fruits; he preferred making fruit wine.

Kyojuro, who had also been eating cold melon for three days but was not affected at all because of his excellent physique, nodded obediently.

Anyway, it is grown at the master's house and he can eat it anytime.

……

"Master, Uncle Ban asked me to plant the winter melon pitcher here."

Hearing this, Uchiha Hirohiko didn't even raise his head, "Ha, I won the bet between Fukutaro and I! We bet on how many days your Izuna can eat cold melons without restraint, I bet on three days, and he bet on five days!"

"Wow," Kyojuro sighed, "How did you guess so accurately?"

Uchiha Hirohiko was struggling to open the wooden stopper on the top of the pottery jar. "Because, Izuna has had a cold constitution since childhood. Uh, looking at his expression, you can tell that he loves to eat cold melons. This stopper... will definitely make him eat it all at once. Why... is it so... tight!"

Boo!

"Huh, it's open," Boyan looked inside the jar.

"It's okay to eat a little bit of winter melon, but if you eat too much, Izuna will definitely have diarrhea with her constitution. This period of time will definitely not exceed three days."

"It's just as I expected!"

"I also know that Madara will definitely force Izuna to drink ginger sugar water."

all hit!

Poor little uncle, when he walked out of the house, Uncle Ban was still staring at him while he was drinking ginger sugar water.

Kyojuro leaned over and observed like Hirohiko, "Master, are you brewing wine? Is it bad?"

A sour smell unique to the early stages of fermentation lingered around the jars.

"No, I'm trying to ferment the melon rinds to see if I can mix them into the fertilizer."

The rind of the winter melon is a rare good thing. He would feel guilty if he couldn't make full use of this plant fruit that contains both water and sugar!

So he chose to try fermenting it alone first. Although March and April were not the hottest time yet, the fermentation speed was much faster than he expected.

"This smell is a bit unpleasant. Go in and sprinkle the soaked winter melon seeds I have in the soil basin. Do you remember the process?"

"Remember! Don't worry, Master!"

The cultivation process of winter melon seeds is similar to that of other plants. The seeds must be soaked for a period of time first. The soaking time depends on the hardness of the seeds. Winter melon seeds are relatively soft, so they only need to be soaked for 3 or 4 hours.

Kyojuro took out the melon seeds that Boyan had soaked in the bowl and wrapped them in a cotton cloth soaked in water. Then he loosened the soil in the large pot that had not been used for the whole winter, and poured an appropriate amount of water on it to keep the soil moist.

Then, sprinkle the melon seeds evenly on the soil and then sprinkle a thin layer of soil on it.

He has been doing this process since he was a child and has become very proficient in it.

After finishing it easily, Kyojuro washed the dirt off his hands and cut a piece of winter melon to eat.

Thanks to his parents for giving him such a good physique!

"Master, do you think we can feed the remaining melon rinds to pigs?"

The pigs that Kyojuro was talking about were of course not those raised by the Uchiha clan themselves, but those raised by nearby farmers.

Because the Uchiha family's demand for meat is growing, the wild boars in the forest have almost disappeared, and the farmers living nearby have keenly sensed the business opportunity, especially those who have someone working in the Uchiha workshop. Almost every household raises pigs, waiting for the Uchiha to buy them.

If someone came to check if they were doing business, they would release the pigs into the Uchiha forest and ask because there were a lot of wild boars around here.

"Of course," Boyan straightened his back, and Kyojuro quickly helped him sit under the eaves.

"Alas, one has to accept aging. I am almost sixty in the blink of an eye, and I really can't be like when I was young."

Uchiha Boyan pounded his waist twice, then thought, he already has great-grandchildren, how could he not get old?

"After you come back from Senju, your brother Yingji's baby will be one month old. Remember to go for dinner."

"I know, Master. You've told me this many times," Kyojuro poured a cup of tea for Hirohiko, "This is a new teapot found in the cabinet."

Boyan took a sip and squinted his eyes to savor it for a long time, but he couldn't taste anything. He still preferred to drink sweet wine.

"Ah Qing brought it and said it was given by Su. Do you think it's time for Su to quit? I've never seen her drink this stuff before."

When he was young, Uchiha So was a rebellious representative who was always smoking and drinking. After his 45th birthday, he suddenly decided to start taking care of his health, saying that he wanted to live a few more years so that he could watch his future children grow up.

Hirohiko continued Kyojuro's idea and said, "Feeding pigs as you said is feasible but the profit is not high."

The long summer in the Land of Fire is extremely hot. Unlike wild boars, domesticated pigs cannot drink water at any time, so they are very prone to heatstroke. If unwanted winter melon rinds can be mixed into the feed, two problems can be solved at once.

But the problem is,

"You can't ask farmers who have barely been able to eat for a few years to spend money specifically on feed for their pigs."

The Uchiha couldn't give something away for free, so they gave the melon rind away for free, and then the pigs that grew up eating the rinds had to be bought back by the Uchiha...

Why do I feel like a sucker?

"Besides, our family still consumes very little winter melons, and the fertilizer used to make the experimental fields has almost been used up. After summer, this good thing will definitely be shipped to the capital and Taga Castle to be sold. Only then will the amount of melon rinds increase."

Boyan took another sip of tea. "It's just that the melon rinds rot too easily, and the ones consumed in the capital can't be shipped back... Wait! Can't we just sell them nearby?"

As he was talking, Boyan suddenly remembered something that had always been in their ninja's blind spot.

Ninjas rely on ninjutsu when traveling, but ordinary nobles have to travel in carriages.

Although the capital doesn’t raise pigs, it does have a horse farm that specializes in breeding horses!

That is a big family that directly supplies nobles and royal families!!!
