Chapter 54: Kikyo Orphanage's Money-Making Plan!
The blue sky is like washing, and the red sun is scorching.
Nara Langui was alone, with a backpack, and came out of Konoha.
Seeing that the time was close to noon, he changed his itinerary slightly, and did not return directly to the clan land in Kikyo City, but went to the Kikyo Orphanage first.
The Kikyo Orphanage has its own set of precise schedules.
When Nara arrives at the Kikyo Orphanage, the children are gathering in the kitchen for lunch.
Outside the kitchen.
The fat nun and the thin monkβlet's call it thatβwere pulling the medicine master Nonoyu, talking something.
Nara got closer, and the conversation between the three of them was clear.
"Dean, the subsidy allocated by the village this month has been reduced a lot compared to the past."
"There are not many families willing to adopt children because of the proximity to war."
"After a long period of making ends meet, the operating conditions of the orphanage are becoming more and more tight."
"And if war breaks out, there will definitely be more children in the orphanage......"
Yakushi Nonoyu quietly listened to the fat nun and the thin monk's return, and only after the two of them finished speaking did she slowly speak.
"I'll figure it out...... Please give me a little more time, both of you. β
The fat nun and the thin friar looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
They also know that this kind of thing cannot be forced.
Yakushi Nonoyu was able to open such an orphanage as a ninja, and use his mission income to fill a large amount of operating funds, which is already a bodhisattva's heart.
What more could a fat nun and a thin monk ask for for such a person?
"Dean, you want me to say."
The fat nun pursed her lips.
"We can ask the village for more money - who's there?!"
The sorrow on the fat nun's face instantly subsided, and she was replaced by a serious look designed to deter the children.
But after you see the person clearly.
The fat nun's face changed in an instant, and she became amiable.
"It's Little Nara! Why did you come here at noon? Have you eaten? β
"Fat nun, thin friar."
Nara Langui greeted the two principals in the orphanage, and then looked at Yakushi Nonoyu.
"I'm here to find Sister Nonoyu."
The thin monk wanted to say more, but looking at the ninja forehead guard on Nara Langui's body, he moved his lips, but he still didn't make a sound.
Yakushi Nonoyu nodded to the fat nun and the thin monk, and then went to the latter's small room with Nara Lankatsu.
Entering the room, the pharmacist Ye Naiyu's waist, which had just stood straight, suddenly became a little rickety, and the gentle goose egg face also showed a tired look.
Don't look at how mature and reliable she looks like she was always a gentle and amiable nun in the past.
But in fact, the age of the pharmacist Ye Naiyu is only just over twenty. (21 years old)
"Sister Nonoyu."
Nara put her backpack on the bed and went back to pour a glass of warm water.
"Drink your saliva and take your breath."
"Thank you."
Yakushi Nonoyu took the teacup with both hands, held it in his hands, and took a sip.
"It's a joke for you, Lan Gui."
"What's this?"
Nara sat down on the bed and shook her head.
"As early as the day that Sister Nonoyu opened the Kikyo Orphanage, I expected this moment.
"It's just that what I didn't expect was that Sister Ye Naiyu would be able to hold on until now."
If you want to sort from the Konoha ninja according to their belief in the will of fire, then Yakushi Nonoyu must be at the top.
Gather orphans, protect children, and provide them with a place to stay as much as we can.
In this war-torn, bloody and dark ninja world, people are cold and unforgiving, and only this gentle and amiable blonde nun can bring some warmth to children.
A cup of warm water from Nara Langui seems to have injected great strength into the pharmacist Nonoyu.
She put down her teacup, her usual gentle smile on her clean face.
"Lan Gui, you shouldn't have lunch at this point in time, right? I'm going to get ready. β
"No need, Sister Nonoyu."
Nara raised her hand to stop Yakushi Nonoyu's actions and pulled her to sit on the bed.
"You take a break and then listen to me."
Yakushi Ye Naiyu helped the round-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said softly, "Say it, I'm listening." β
"I heard the words of the fat nun and the thin monk just now."
Nara got up again and poured a glass of warm water for the pharmacist Nonoyu and delivered it to her.
"There's a real shortage of money for the Kikyo Orphanage, right?"
Yakushi Nonoyu shook his head, and was about to say something.
"Remember our previous agreement?"
Nara Langui interrupted the other party in advance.
"If something goes wrong with the Kikyo orphanage, let's discuss how to make money to support the family."
"Don't be so ambiguous, like a little adult."
Yakushi Nonoyu tapped Nara Lankatsu's forehead, and the fingertips that had just left the wall of the teacup were warm and soft.
"I'm my sister."
"Anyway, about this money-making question."
Nara Langui pushed his head forward and knocked away Yakushi Nonoyu's fingers.
"Sister Ye Naiyu, have you thought about it?"
"I've been thinking about this since that night when I'm free."
Yakushi Ye Naiyu nodded and said softly.
"I'm a ninja, and I know how to do medical ninjutsu...... Lan Gui, what do you think of me opening a medical center next to the Kikyo Orphanage? β
Nara Langui was shocked by the "genius idea" of the pharmacist Nonoyu.
ββ¦β¦ You're saying that there is a small medical clinic next to the gathering place of the Nara clan? β
"Can't you?"
Yakushi Nonoyu stared at Nara Langui, his brownish-green apricot eyes revealing a clarity that had not yet been tarnished by society.
"Actually, I'm quite confident in my medical ninjutsu.
"In addition, the Nara clan is good at retreat, and there is a lack of specialized medical ninjas in Kikyo City, so I think it's a good idea to open a medical center, and there is no need for additional preparation space."
"Ah, it sounds like this, there are no competitors, the market is promising, and the barriers to entry are low......"
Nara Langgui praised a few words dryly, and changed his words directly.
"Sister Ye Naiyu, do you want to listen to my idea?"
What competition? What prospects? What threshold?
Yakushi Ye Naiyu was a little ignorant when he heard this, and nodded subconsciously.
"Before we talk about how to make money, let's integrate our own resources and capabilities."
Nara Langui said seriously.
"Sister Nonoyu, what human resources do you think the Kikyo Orphanage has? Or rather, money-making labor? β
Yakushi Nonoyu cautiously glanced at Nara Langui and said softly.
"I ...... And you? β
"And these kids in the orphanage!" Nara Langui said helplessly, "And the fat nun and the thin monk." β
"No, no, no!"
Yakushi Ye Naiyu subconsciously shook his head, and the frame of the mirror was almost swayed by her.
"The children in the orphanage are so young that they can't refine chakra and can't do the task.
"Nuns and monks are also ordinary people, and they can't do the work of ninjas."
"Don't bring the ninja mind in, Nonoyu-san."
Nara sighed.
"There is a big difference between ninjas and ordinary people, and the methods of making money."
"I'm sorry, Lan Gui."
Yakushi Nonoyu bit his lip lightly, but still said frankly.
"I don't understand...... And what you said earlier, I didn't understand much. β
"I'm sorry, I'm right, I'm talking a little too much."
Nara Langui self-examined.
"Then skip the professional and get to the point.
"Sister Ye Naiyu, based on our own capabilities and conditions, I think what we should do is the catering industry, with a low threshold and low risk.
"How much does Sister Nonoyu know about Konoha's food and beverage stores?"
"No, not too much."
Yakushi Nonoyu said with a little stammering.
"But after I deliver the tasks and receive the bounty, I occasionally buy some snacks at the confectionery house and bring them to the children."
"It's a family, but other than that, it's ......"
Nara nodded and counted the many famous restaurants in Konoha Village.
"A meatball shop that sells three-color meatballs and rice cake and red bean soup,
"Gan Ligan, who is responsible for high-end desserts;
"Specialized in contracting barbecue Q for gatherings and dinners;
"Ichiraku ramen shop has only recently opened.
"There are also a variety of izakaya and teahouses.
"This includes oden shops and barbecue stalls that exist in the form of mobile activities.
"As for those ultra-high-end restaurants, such as the Rizhaoryotei, which only welcomes the Hokage and various big names, don't think about it."
Pharmacist Ye Naiyu's eyes widened, and his pink lips opened slightly, "Good, so powerful!" β
"Just a little bit of research."
Nara Langui shrugged his shoulders, anyway, it was the doppelganger who was tired, not himself.
"Hearing the names of those shops just now, does Sister Nonoyu have any thoughts?"
"Konoha ...... There are a lot of people? β
Yakushi Nonoyu racked his brains to come up with an answer.
"So...... Want to eat many types of food? β
For pharmacist Ye Naiyu, even if she wants to kill someone, it is easier than asking her to answer such a market economy question.
"Almost."
Nara nodded.
"Konoha has a large population, and the tastes of the general public are diverse.
"So if we want to enter the restaurant industry and make money as quickly as possible, we need to segment the market, preferably targeting a single target group, and then creatively develop a new menu.
"Considering the location of the Kikyo Orphanage, I'm going to target a certain ninja ......"
Yakushi Ye Naiyu intended to save the face he had just lost, and replied preemptively: "The Nara family? β
ββ¦β¦ No. β
Nara Langui glanced at the pharmacist Nonoyu with a subtle expression.
"I'm talking about the Akido clan.
"There is a huge demand for food, especially high-calorie foods.
"My plan is to sell fried chicken at the doorstep of the Akido family."
