Chapter 68: Asking for Food
Some people believe that there are two oldest professions in the world, the killer who kills, and the woman who entertains others. In fact, this sentence is not quite true, in addition to these two kinds of people, there is another kind of people who have existed since ancient times, and that is brokers.
The word broker seems very lofty, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a political pull-out, with a higher grade, a wider range of contacts, and more benefits.
Hosoya and Takashi think of brokers like this, don't look at the small Konoha Village, but he has a lot of work. Many times, Hosoya and Takashi would sigh when they were drinking alone, he was the most important and indispensable person in Konoha Village.
Kazutaka Hosoya runs a soup restaurant on the surface of the face, and he doesn't sell food or soup, he does a hot spring bathing business. But secretly, he often does some dirty work for the Konoha higher-ups, such as fundraising.
For the village to develop, development needs money, and the village itself does not have a pillar industry to provide sufficient funds. Missions in non-war times are also rarely accompanied by high-paying combat missions, so sometimes the village needs to harvest some wool as well. It's not a shame, as long as you can't become the top giant for a day, then when you need it, you will inevitably be harvested once.
Hosoya and Takadama sat across from Orange Light as he sipped the best wine in his glass. He doesn't have any other hobbies, the only thing he likes is the things in the cup, and he likes to drink a few glasses.
He didn't move the sumptuous dishes on the table, but the clear wine in the glass was filled for the third time.
"Tsk, Orange Light is really going to enjoy it, this is the highest-grade snow from the Snow Country, right?" , and even Hosoya Kazutaka, who has three flavors in the sake, shook the cup with a circle, and circles of clear liquid hung on the glass, and then slowly hung down. Smelling the special fragrance of Qingxue wine, he felt that he was going to get drunk.
The price of this wine is very high, and the value is not high, but it is not a good thing that can be easily bought. Only twenty jars can be produced in the ice cellars of the Snow Country every year, and it is difficult to buy them even if you have money, and you have to be powerful to do it. Because the Ren Wuyue family has had some trade with the Snow Country over the years, and has also made some friends, he can buy a few pots to a dozen pots every year. As for the price, Orange Light does not care about this issue at all, the nobility of this wine is no longer reflected in the price, but in its status in people's minds.
The reason why Qingxue is so popular with alcoholics is also related to the special brewing method of the ice cellar. Ordinary sake is spicy or soft in the mouth, and when it enters the throat, you can feel a fiery hot current flowing down the esophagus into the stomach pouch, and finally it becomes hot or spicy. However, Qingxue is different in that it is very icy at the entrance, as if you are standing on the top of the highest snowy mountain in the land of snow, and this kind of ice can make you shiver.
But after entering the throat, a warm current will quickly spread, so that the whole body has a warm feeling of basking in the sun in winter, and it is precisely because of such a special experience that the name Qingxue is born.
Qingxue is divided into three grades, the highest level has only one altar a year, the middle one has three altars, and the ordinary one has fifteen altars a year.
Today's table is only a moderate amount of snow.
Listening to Orange Mitsuichi's explanation, Hosoya and Takashi sighed with some regret, he picked up the cup and took a small sip first, and then poured it whole. His body trembled twice, his brow furrowed, and his face seemed to lose its blood. But soon, his folded shoulders slowly relaxed and hung down naturally, and his face also showed a sense of comfort.
He couldn't help but nod his head in three compliments, "What a good wine!" ”
"Since Mr. Hosoya likes it, you can drink this pot alone!" As Orange Light finished speaking, the maid who was kneeling beside her placed the flask in Hosoya's hand.
Hosoya couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Then it's disrespectful!" He laughed as he spoke.
The atmosphere became a lot more harmonious, and the strangeness that had not been seen for a long time gradually dissipated, and after chatting for a while, Hosoya and His Excellency Takasai chopsticks, looking at the orange light, sighed, and looked good, "Orange light, do you know that several projects next to the Hokage Rock have been suspended. ”
Orange Light perked up, and after realizing that Hosoya and Takashi had eaten and drunk enough, he began to get down to business. He thought about it for a while, he had also heard about this matter, and in the final analysis, it was because of the lack of funds, so some not too important face projects were temporarily stopped. At the same time, he also realized that this time Hosoya and Takashi were here to "turn their fate".
He nodded, "I've heard the clansmen talk about this, what's the matter, you also have a share in it?" ”
Hosoya and Takashi were stunned for a moment, smiled and waved their hands, "How is it possible, I'm not a big person, I just think it's interesting and chatter." Orange Light did not answer, which was also expected by him. He had already analyzed before he came, even if he could get money from Orange Light, it would not be so easy. Of course, he also understands that no one wants to give away their hard-earned money, and he is not happy to be him.
It's okay not to be happy, but he can't control the final outcome, this is the task given to him by Tuan Zang, and he must gather enough funds, otherwise he will have to fill in the hole himself. The big people have the troubles of the big people, and the little people also have the sorrows of the little people, so in the end, the money still fell on the heads of the wealthy families in the village.
As the richest and wealthiest family in the village, Ren Wuyue is his primary target.
Orange Light just smiled, lowered his head and took a piece of white-cut cow's head, dipped it in a little condiment sauce, and wrapped it in his mouth.
"By the way, I also heard that you invited Shangnin from the village to teach Xiaoqingchuan and the Holy Country?" , Hosoya and Takashi patted their chests and said, "I know a few very powerful ninjas, do you want to help you pull a string?" ”
Orange Light frowned, "I still have to discuss this matter with the children, after all, the cost of hiring Shinobi is too high, and it won't take long." ”
Hosoya and Takashi nodded, "Yes, you have to think about it carefully, after all, the future of the child is at stake." He laughed, "Come on, come on, eat vegetables, don't talk about those inconsequential things." ”
After eating this meal for about an hour, Hosoya and Takacai staggered out of the residence of the Renaritsuki family with half a pot of wine. When he walked to the end of the street, he could still see Qingzi standing outside the door with a smiling face, bowing to him. He thought about it, smiled and shook his head, the wine was a little smoky, it was time to find a place to sleep.
Leaving aside where Hosoya and Takashi had gone, as soon as he left, Orange Light's face became a little unsightly. This time, it will take at least 10 million taels to settle it, and so much cash will be thrown down, which makes him a little depressed! Money doesn't come from a lot of water, it's not that there is, how much money does it take to earn in a year of hard work, and he has to go so much at once, and it is normal for him to be unbalanced in his heart.
The sliding door on the side of the restaurant slowly opened, revealing Shengguo and Qingchuan who were kneeling, and Orange Light had begun to cultivate the two children intentionally or unintentionally, so that they could understand the truth behind this world earlier.
He pursed his lips and looked at the Holy Kingdom, "What do you think?" ”
Without hesitation, the Holy Kingdom replied, "Give it to him!" ”
Orange Light looked at Qingchuan again, Qingchuan shook his head blankly, "I don't know, but since my brother said it to him, it's better to give it to him." ”
It is precisely because of this sentence that the status of the Holy Kingdom Ren Wuyue family has been greatly improved.
A strong ninja is not hard to find, but it is very rare to have a smart leader.
A meal is tantamount to a battle in which there is no visible sword and sword shadow and a river of blood, and the smoke of gunpowder is filled, and both of them are borrowing other words to cover their true thoughts.
If you understand, you understand, if you don't understand, you don't understand, and you can't force it.
