(P.S. The price here is calculated according to the price of neon found on the Internet, and it may not be accurate.) I don't know how to estimate the price of other things based on the price that appeared in the original book. ）

……………………

After an unknown amount of time, Aoyagi woke up in a daze, opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, and it took a while to wake up.

What time is it?

Holding the alarm clock in front of him, Aoyagi noticed that the hour hand was almost five o'clock.

As soon as he was excited, he sat up suddenly, and his mind was completely clear.

Originally, he planned to sleep until half past three, but he didn't expect to get to this point after a little more sleep.

Oops, damn it. A lot of time was wasted, and the afternoon plan was disrupted.

I was annoyed for more than ten minutes, and it wasn't until I finished washing my face that Aoyagi's mood calmed down.

Forget it, since it's all like this, after that, work hard to make up for today's share, now go buy something to eat at night, and come back to cook by yourself. In the future, I will eat less outside, and I will have to save money.

After changing his clothes, Aoyagi grabbed his wallet and keys and went out of the house.

Standing at the door of his home, he recalled the memories of his predecessor and what he had seen and heard in the past few days.

There seems to be a vegetable market in that direction.

Walking in the direction of memory, he asked people for directions when he couldn't figure out the direction, and after walking about two kilometers, Aoyagi came to Konoha's vegetable market.

The market is called Asai, and the most surprising thing about Aoyagi is that the entire market is kept clean and tidy, and the road surface is even dry.

Similar to the wet market in the previous life, the wet market in Konoha is also made up of many vendors. It is indeed rare that every stall owner of so many vendors does their best to keep the environment clean.

In the vegetable market in the previous life, even those who did a good job of sanitation management and had regular cleaning, the ground could be kept free of rotten vegetable leaves, blood and water, etc., and it was okay in terms of hygiene.

But the floor of the vegetable market will inevitably be wet. After all, it's hard to keep the water from flowing to the ground at all. If it's just that the road surface is wet, it's actually hygienic and tidy, and the impact is not great.

Looking back on the experience of these days, people in this world seem to be more concerned, or pay attention to details, and feel that they have reached the point of being a little deliberate. Compared to the customs of his previous life, he didn't care much about the customs of the subsection, Aoyagi felt a little uncomfortable.

Then again, it seems that ninjas are more casual?

Thinking about something inconsequential, Aoyagi wandered from stall to stall, looking at the stalls and the prices.

Stalls selling vegetables and fruits are usually placed on shelves on the ground or in boxes. The stalls of fish and meat sellers are relatively high, and he has to stand on tiptoe to see the things on the stalls.

Many goods are sold according to strips, trees, pieces, etc., which is not quite the same as the method of calculating prices by weight in the previous life. And on all the stalls, there is a small white cardboard next to each item indicating the price.

There are very few people in the market, and many stall owners are idle.

Aoyagi walked around a little and didn't find anyone bargaining, plus there was not much difference in the prices of similar things sold in each stall, and he couldn't see the difference in the quality of goods between stalls, so he randomly found some stalls to buy something.

I went to a nearby grocery store, where Aoyagi bought some bread and rice, and prepared to go back and cook noodles to eat.

Although he had just eaten ramen at noon and decided to cook noodles in the evening, Aoyagi was used to eating rice.

It's just that he doesn't have a choice, he doesn't know how to cook. Not to mention stir-frying and cooking, he used to rarely even cut vegetables and meat. Cooking is easy to operate, and it basically won't spoil the food. And for cooking, you have to study how much water to put in the pot and how long to boil, and now it's almost night, so I don't have the time to study.

After buying the staple food, you have to buy some meat and vegetables, well, you can also buy some eggs. Eat boiled eggs tomorrow morning.

Aoyagi looked around at the stalls and walked over to a stall selling vegetables.

The stall owner is an old woman, and Aoyagi thinks that maybe this child's body has a good impression of the old man.

The old grandmother looked at Aoyagi stopping in front of the stall and asked him with a smile, "Little friend, do you want to buy something?" ”

"Yes, Grandma." Politely greeting, Aoyagi looked at the various green vegetables on the stall, hesitated for a while, and pointed to the cheapest green vegetables on the ground: "I want one of these." ”

"Okay, I'll pick the best one for you." The old woman stood up with a smile, and after rummaging through a pile of greens for a while, she took a bag with full leaves and a dark green color, and handed it to Aoyagi.

"Thank you, grandma, it's 200 yen." After taking the vegetables with one hand, Aoyagi took out his wallet, took out the money and handed it to the grandmother.

The old grandmother took it with a smile and said, "It's really sensible to help the family buy things at such a young age." ”

Aoyagi didn't know what to say, so he had to respond vaguely to her words.

After saying goodbye to his grandmother, Aoyagi went to a stall selling pork.

A kind-faced middle-aged man stood behind the stall. Aoyagi stood on tiptoe and said to him, "Uncle, how much is 500g of pork?" I can't see the sign. ”

"What kind of pork are you going to buy?" When the uncle saw him like this, he replied with a smile. He walked up to Aoyagi from behind the stall and leaned down, "Different types have different prices. ”

"Just buy lean meat."

"400 yen."

Alas, the vegetables and meat in the market are very expensive.

Following the example of other customers, he threw the money into the cash box on the stall, and Aoyagi said to the uncle: "Uncle, buy 1 catty, please help me cut the meat." ”

"Okay." The uncle picked up the knife, neatly cut the meat, put it in a bag, and handed it to Aoyagi.

After taking the meat, Aoyagi set out on his way home.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the temperature in the village dropped faster than the forest, and the wind blew from the village to the forest outside. If you happen to be on the road with the wind, the wind will take away the heat from your body along the way, making you feel the chill of early spring.

And the yellow sun shining on his back brought warmth to Aoyagi and lengthened the shadow in front of him.

Wandering back home, he put the meat and vegetables he bought in the kitchen. After putting half a pot of water in the small soup pot and boiling it on the fire, Aoyagi peeled the vegetables and washed them.

After waiting for a while, the water in the pot was churning violently, and the steam was thick. He added about half a catty of pork to the pot and stirred it up with chopsticks. Store the remaining meat in the refrigerator.

After the pork has changed color under high heat, he adds half a green vegetable and a dough cake, and then uses chopsticks to press down the fluffy greens and floating dough. When they were all submerged in water, he closed the lid, turned down the flame slightly, and waited.

Worried that the heat would not be enough, Aoyagi boiled for a while, and finally tried to add salt to the soup gradually, and repeated it several times to adjust the saltiness of the soup. At this time, it was also dark, and the room was not well lit, and the things in the house looked a little blurry. Good thing it's the dining room outside the kitchen, so you don't have to walk far.

After placing the pot on the table in the dining room in the dark, he turned on the light.

The empty house was silent, and you could faintly hear the conversations of neighbors.

Sitting in a chair, Aoyagi stared at the pot for a moment. He waited until there was less steam before he started.

After trying noodles, pork, and cabbage, Aoyagi was satisfied: "Yes, at least it's fully cooked." ”

After making sure that there was no problem with the food, the hungry Aoyagi buried his head in eating it, and for a while only the sound of chewing remained in the room.
