Kyojuro, the life of a Hokage since the age of one

After school, Xingjulang said goodbye to his annoying friends and came to the open space on the west side with his schoolbag on his back.

The Sixth Elder had already transplanted the pea seedlings that were originally in flower pots to this land.

Common peas were planted next to it.

Xingshou Lang put down his small schoolbag, squatted next to the pea seedlings, and asked curiously,

"Master, if two kinds of peas are planted so close, won't the beans produced be affected?"

In his last life, he had heard that if two flowers of different colors were planted close together, it would be possible to produce flowers of a new color.

What is it said to be called...hybridization?

The Sixth Elder also squatted down, casually opened an ordinary pea flower, and pointed it out to Xing Julang.

"While the flowers are still closed, pods have already formed in the peas, and there are small seeds inside the pods, so the peas will not bloom until they form seeds."

(Close pollination should be familiar to everyone)

Xingjuro understood, "So even if different types of peas are planted next to them, the seeds they produce will still retain their own appearance and will not be affected."

"But, Master, why do you plant two kinds of peas?"

The Sixth Elder took out a soft ruler from his sleeve and handed it to Xingjulang.

"For comparison, we plant them together with ordinary peas so that we can observe what is special about the special peas."

He motioned Anjuro to measure the two kinds of peas.

"If you look carefully, the plant height and stem diameter of the special peas will be taller and thicker than ordinary peas."

"When I transplanted the special peas, their roots also grew thicker than regular peas."

He then asked Anjuro to pinch the tip of the pea seedlings.

"Pea tips and pea leaves can actually be eaten as vegetables, but the tips of the stems of special peas are also very hard, so their pea tips cannot be eaten as vegetables."

The Sixth Elder vaguely advised his apprentice, who had recently been troubled by Fire Escape, to

"Whether it is ordinary peas or special peas, their quality is relative. When we want to get peas to make pea flour, special peas are better, but when we want to use pea tips to make vegetables to eat, it is Regular peas are better.”

There is no absolute good or absolute bad.

Xingjulang heard that it was his master comforting him, so he slapped it on Boyan's leg like a small rice cake.

The upturned face was full of admiration, "Thank you, Master! Master is the best!"

The Sixth Elder touched Xingshou Lang's head, barely suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth, looked around with pride in his eyes, and murmured to his subordinates in a vague voice,

‘You see, my apprentice still likes me the most. ’

A large Uchiha who was responsible for guarding this open space deliberately came over to ask Anjuro.

"Xingjuro doesn't like uncle?"

He just gave birth to a daughter, and now he likes to play with children.

"I like uncle."

Xingjuro clasped his fingers seriously,

"Uncle comes here every day conscientiously, watering the plants in the morning, covering up the awning when the sun is high, and putting on the awning when it rains."

These are the plants that are well cared for in the ground and they told him,

including but not limited to,

"The handsome guy's technique is so comfortable~"

"Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on~"

"Let the sunlight come more intensely! I need stronger sunlight! No! It can't be done! The sunlight is no match for his eyes!"

Even the two cherry trees he planted wanted to have a cross-species love with the big Uchiha.

Dai Uchiha is a little strange. When he does these things, it is usually in the morning or at noon, and Anjuro is not there.

Immediately, he thought of a possibility,

Could it be said that Mu Dun can extract information directly from plants?

He looked at the Sixth Elder, who shook his head at him and said that none of the Mudun recorded in the clan before had this ability, and it should be Xingshourou's unique ability.

The best news in the world is that the enemy does not have it, but we do.

Unaware of the cryptic communication between the adults, Anjuro finally concluded,

"Although I like my uncle, my favorite is the master."

The Sixth Elder was even more arrogant.

Dai Uchiha spread his hands begging for mercy.

In the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived, and it’s time to collect agricultural taxes.

The agricultural tax official sat at the gate of the government office in a nearby town, waiting with guards to deliver the grain that should be paid from nearby villages.

He drank tea and took a bite of the golden cubes sent by the teahouse, thinking in his mind.

This year's harvest is not good, but the daimyo has not lowered the tax rate, and I don't know if it can be collected smoothly.

If those unruly people were unwilling to hand over the food, he would have to use some special means.

This gold recipe from Uchiha's is still delicious, but the gold recipe from other stores always feels like it lacks a hint of sweetness.

Unexpectedly, several nearby villages had arrived early pushing grain in wheelbarrows.

The agricultural tax official was a little surprised as he watched the bags being weighed by his subordinates.

This year, you actually paid the agricultural tax completely without any effort?

There was no look of embarrassment on his face.

Although the agricultural tax official was a little confused, he just assumed that these villagers did not want to be beaten.

As long as the food is harvested, the rest has nothing to do with him.

…

After another half month, the agricultural taxes collected from various places have been completely counted and moved into the granary.

The Daimyo of the Fire Country looked at the summary presented and asked angrily to the Fire Country who replied in the hall,

"Only a few villages and towns in the west have paid all their agricultural taxes."

"Since there are people who can pay in full, why can't they be paid in full in other places?"

The implication is that you'd better explain it clearly to me, otherwise you will have to fill in the missing parts.

The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs (about the same as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, responsible for taxation, household registration, etc.) who was punished years ago replied respectfully, but the content of this reply was a secret attempt to show off his yin and yang in front of the daimyo. Apply eye drops to the Uchiha.

"Back to your majesty, there are Uchiha in the west. They seem to have developed a new thing and distributed food to these farmers. That's why the farmers can hand over the food they grow so happily."

In the eyes of those unruly people, Uchiha is more useful than you.

The daimyo raised his eyebrows. He could hear Huo Fang's instigation, but he didn't want to follow the old boy's will and become his spearman.

In his opinion, the Fire Party clan who sent their daughter to the palace and gave birth to their eldest son was more of a threat.

As for the Uchiha, even the mere ninjas would not dare to offend Tianyan.

He seemed to be boasting and sighed, "The Uchiha family's new things are getting bigger and bigger."

He had previously ignored that this family was no longer a ninja family and had begun to do business.

Then it’s time to collect the business tax.

"Stay back and go get Tachibana here."

The Fire Party bowed with satisfaction and exited the hall.

Although it didn't directly make the daimyo feel dissatisfied with Uchiha, it could directly cause Uchiha to lose a large amount of money, which could be regarded as a bad breath for his family.

Damn Uchiha actually dares to play tricks in the officialdom, don't blame him for retaliating with an eye for an eye.

…

Tachibana, who was summoned by the palace servants, walked into the palace.

Before he came, he was still wondering. He was currently busy with the Fire Party, who was responsible for agricultural taxes. Why did the daimyo suddenly want to find him, the Daifu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who was responsible for commercial taxes?

The high-ranking daimyo stated his request.

To put it simply, he wanted the Uchiha family to pay business tax.

Jujie felt miserable, but he couldn't say it.

He could only act like a young man who was full of energy and thanked the daimyo for his appreciation, and replied loudly,

"I accept your order."

When he got home, the fake smile mask he wore was shattered.

"well!!!"

He plucked his forehead and worried,

Isn't this just going to the Uchiha family to steal money!

Great name! ! ! !

You really know how to solve problems! ! !

Does this require money?

This is fatal! ! !

"If the daimyo wants to kill me, can he just do it? I'll definitely kill him at the first glance!"

At the end of the story, Tachibana, who is over fifty, started to cry.

The master who had been advising him gave him an idea.

"My lord, why don't you hire Senju?"

"Even if Uchiha really disregards etiquette and dares to show his sword at you, we still have Senju to protect you.

As far as I know, the wooden messenger of the Senju family has already appeared in front of people. "

What a great idea! !

"Hurry up and ask the leader of the Thousand Hands Clan to come and talk!"

(Please paraphrase the Jade Emperor’s sentence in Journey to the West: Go and invite Buddha Tathagata from the West!)

——————

The Uchiha family didn't know that their family was about to hand over a large sum of money.

However, once this tax is paid, it is equivalent to official recognition that their Uchiha are businessmen and not ninjas.

I don’t know if this change is good or bad.

They were watching the new tools that Koichi brought out.

It is a tool made from discarded iron tools that can rotate and squeeze walnuts to extract oil.

There was an older Uchiha who curiously asked Koichi about the principle of this thing.

His companion immediately blocked his ears with the foresight.

Hao Yi started to talk eloquently about the principle and operation steps of this.

"I named it a screw oil press, which is mainly composed of an oil press tank, a feeding port, a screw rod and a gear."

"The oil pressing tank is the most important part of this tool. It consists of a spindle and a cylinder. When we rotate the handle, the spindle will be pushed forward to continuously push the billet forward, and the crude oil will be squeezed out under the action of dynamic extrusion."

"Also, this spindle is much more sophisticated, including the depth and pitch of the thread. They are all getting smaller and smaller, just to adapt..."

The inquiring Uchiha began to regret why he asked this unnecessary question?

He wanted to escape so much, but he couldn't.

…

After Hao Yi's explanation that no one except the weapons department could understand, everyone also understood one thing, that is, this screw oil press is very useful.

Ordinary animals can be used to drive the handle and link the thread to advance.

Seeing Hao Yi start to explain again, everyone started to applaud actively.

"As expected of Koichi!"

"What a genius idea!"

“After pressing the oil, you can use animals or livestock!”

"Genius, genius!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

"You still want to try this tool with the Sixth Elder. We won't disturb you and let's go first! Goodbye!"

With such a convenient machine, Xingshou Lang can produce about 75 kilograms of walnut oil from three walnuts (nut walls) summoned every month.

However, things are rare and valuable, so the Uchiha family always sells out small bottles and small bottles.

The walnut oil must be supplied to the court first, and we only have these goods left. The adults in the city all want it, and we really have no choice. After all, we can't fool the adults with defective products. I'm really sorry, if you still want it, please come earlier next time. We really don't have any surplus this time-this set of sincere but embarrassing sales tactics.

So in fact, at most 30 kilograms of oil can be sold per month.

The extra oil is kept by the family and never sold outside. In order to avoid the price of walnut oil being reduced due to the increase in goods, and to avoid them not being able to take out if the daimyo suddenly asks for an increase in the amount of tribute.

When there is too much oil left in the clan, we have to find a way to consume it, otherwise it will be a pity if the oil goes bad.

Mrs. Mikiko was the first person to develop the recipe.

She removed the shrimp skin and head from the shrimp caught in the river, opened the back to remove the shrimp thread, and then gently cut a few small holes in the abdomen of the shrimp with a knife, and then spread the shrimp from the back and flattened it. Then wrap the shrimp in flour. Shake off the excess flour, and try to make the flour only a thin layer on the shrimp.

Then use egg yolk, well water and flour, stir gently to make a light batter.

Walnut oil itself is very fragrant, and the overbearing fragrance after heating instantly fills the whole yard. Several little Uchiha who were playing in the yard have already laid on the edge of the kitchen window, watching Mrs. Mikiko make delicious food.

Slurp——

When the oil is heated to the point where the batter will bloom when put in, it means that the temperature of the oil is enough.

Mrs. Mikiko pinched the shrimp tail, wrapped the shrimp with flour in a layer of batter, and then slowly put the shrimp into the oil pan.

"Jin, isn't your mother afraid of being burned?"

Uchiha Xue was in awe. When she was learning to cook miso soup at home, she felt very hot when she was splashed by boiling water. Mrs. Mikiko actually approached such a hot oil pan with her bare hands.

"My mother is super awesome!"

Don't fry the shrimp for too long. When the batter is fried into a golden and crispy state, it can be taken out of the pan.

If it is fried for a long time, the batter will turn black and bitter.

Similarly, this method can also be used to fry wild vegetables and fish.

"Okay, let's try it!"

"Thank you, Aunt Mikiko!" "Sister Mikiko is the best!!" "Mom, I love you!!"

Crack --

!

"Five ants!!!!"

What kind of taste is this!

So crispy!

It's obviously a crispy taste, but it doesn't feel hard at all!

Crack, crack, crack --

For a while, the only sounds left in the yard were a few children eating hard.

...

In a cave not far from the Uchiha clan, a guy poked his head out of the cave and sniffed.

What is it?

So fragrant.

(What is made here is Japanese tempura that often appears in anime. I checked the information and found that tempura was first published in "Shidoki" in 1669. The background of the Warring States Period in Naruto should be taken from the Japanese Warring States Period, which is from 1467 to 1600 or 1615, so it can be assumed that there is no tempura in the Warring States Period in Naruto. After all, in an era when even oil is scarce, no one would be so extravagant as to eat fried food.)
