The country of waves, tavern.

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Uchiha Shisui, whose eyes were shining and he was immersed in eating. Her red eyes were full of big question marks. Then she turned to look at Asuka, puzzled.

"Why don't you poke this with your hand? Don't you need to test for poison?"

Asuka slowly poured himself a glass of wine, then took out a chicken wing from the honey mustard-flavored Family Bucket on the table, looked at the sky outside, exhaled soothingly, and said.

"Only the weak need to test for poison. The body of the strong can resist poison."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shisui stopped eating. He looked down at the golden fried rice on the plate and didn't know whether to move his chopsticks.

He didn't feel like his body could resist the toxin.

Back then, Chiyo of Sunagakure Village didn't know how to use poison, and poisoned many jounin in Konoha.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Kurenai Yuhi's somewhat darkened face and Shisui's stopped movements. After Asuka took a bite of the chicken wing, he chewed the meat with the bones a few times, swallowed it, and explained.

"She saw the owner of the shop making the egg fried rice with her own eyes. There was no problem except that there was a little too much salt. However, the buns were made in advance. In order to ensure Hong's safety, the toxin test cannot be omitted."

next moment.

I saw a tiny green snake on the floor spitting out its core towards the two of them, then gave Asuka a blank look, slowly crawled along the recliner and onto his arm, and wrapped it around into a round bracelet.

Recently, Ichikijima Hime didn't want to go back to Ryūchi Cave at all. The taste of fried chicken in her mouth made her dignity as a saint completely destroyed by the taste in her mouth.

"Snake, psychic beast?"

Seeing the green snake on Asuka's wrist, Zhishui thought of the rumor circulating in the village that "Asuka was suspected of signing a psychic contract with the Immortal of Ryūchidō". After secretly sensing the huge energy in the snake, he couldn't help but lick his lips. Mi Li continued to eat egg fried rice.

The legend is true. The other party's psychic beast is not an ordinary snake in Yongchi Cave.

While Asuka was enjoying this rare moment of comfort, from the dark corner of the building opposite, a small gaze looked at them, and that gaze seemed to have made some kind of determination.

clatter! clatter! clatter!

"Buy a bouquet of flowers, kind ninja-sama!"

A series of small footsteps sounded. Asuka was eating fried chicken when he heard a childish voice next to him. He sounded very weak, as if he had been hungry for a long time.

He raised his head and saw a little boy wearing ripped clothes with various patches, a dirty face, and determination in his eyes.

He looks like he is only seven or eight years old.

But in terms of nutrition, his thin body is far inferior to those of three or four-year-old children in Konoha.

The little boy held up a handful of wild flowers that were picked outside and had not been processed.

Do you sell flowers to support your family?

Thinking of this, Feiniao stretched out his hand and touched his arms twice before speaking.

"Kid, how much money did you spend? My brother wants it all."

The little boy looked at the flowers in the basket, then looked at Asuka's delicacy that obviously did not belong to the Land of Waves, swallowed, and said.

"I don't want money, can you give me that thing?"

Feiniao raised his eyebrows and followed the other person's eyes to look at the half-eaten family bucket. He reached out and fumbled for a few more coins in his arms and handed them over, feeling a little confused.

"If you use this money to buy steamed buns, you should be able to buy dozens of them."

"I don't want money!"

The little boy took a step back, stared straight at the family bucket, and shook his head.

"I just want to have a bite of food that doesn't belong to the country of Waves."

The kid is really greedy.

Feiniao took out a chicken drumstick from the family bucket and handed it to him to eat first. Then he bit his thumb and made a few marks with his hands, then pressed it on the ground.

Peng!

The moment the white smoke came out, a clanking sound was heard from the kitchen of the tavern, and then the chef came out with a knife and yelled at the kid.

"What are you doing?"

The little boy was so excited that he didn't even want the flowers. He clutched the chicken drumstick tightly in his hand and ran away, directly into the alley where he came from.

Seeing that the meaty-faced chef actually wanted to chase him out, Asuka put the candy in his mouth against the inside of his lips and spat it out directly against the chef's knee.

call out!

There was a small sound, and the half-melted sugar hit the chef's knee accurately.

Plop!

Seeing him kneeling on the floor, Yuhi Hong raised the corner of her mouth, secretly looked at Asuka with her eyes, and thought to herself.

"not bad."

"Tough luck!"

Looking at the kid disappearing into the alley, the chef muttered and stood up.

He rubbed his sore knees and told the security guards on the street about the child's situation. He then saw him come to the Asuka three-person table with a smile on his face.

"It's really embarrassing to disturb Ninja-sama's dining experience. I, the next generation boss, have made the decision and will give the three of you a 50% discount on today's consumption."

"This discount is really big."

Asuka glanced at Shisui who had finished eating the egg fried rice, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

A plate of egg fried rice and a bottle of wine only cost a few bucks

After mentally appraising the discounted price, Feiniao crossed his legs and asked.

"But what's wrong with a kid selling some flowers? In fact, we don't mind."

The chef smiled, looked at the center of the town with reverence, and explained.

"The Country of Waves has regulations that prohibit any form of private sales in order to prevent the existence of illegal business activities that seek huge profits. Businesses like ours are mainly used to entertain guests from out of town, and our boss is someone close to the daimyo. The income gained It’s all handled by the daimyo.”

"oh?"

Hearing this, Asuka raised his eyebrows, then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and continued to ask.

"Then how do the people here live? If an island country that lives by the sea prohibits buying and selling, many people will go hungry, right?"

"No, the policy of the Kingdom of Waves clearly stipulates that all civilians and nobles must hand over their household belongings and food to the national treasury, which will then be uniformly distributed by the king to ensure that every citizen has enough to eat every day.

As long as the citizens complete their work according to the daimyo's arrangements, they can get three meals a day.

Although there is no extra property at home, they are no longer hungry and full compared to before.

All daily living expenses such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, weddings and funerals of the citizens are also borne by the daimyo.

Those common people who could not get married, build houses, or wear new clothes before had their lives greatly improved with the help of daimyo. "

"Uh~"

Yuhi Hong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

Even the nobles’ money and food were collected.

This famous person is really fair in his dealings.

When Uchiha Shisui heard this, he also raised his head and looked out the window.

I saw pedestrians coming and going on the street. Except for those outsiders, the faces of the local residents were filled with happy smiles. That kind of smile cannot be faked.

People will not smile like this when they are hungry or in need.

Although these policies can easily dampen enthusiasm, in a poor country like the Country of Waves, such policies have kept most people hungry and avoided starvation in the entire country to the greatest extent.

"Eat enough??"

"Aren't you talking nonsense with your eyes wide open??"

At this time, Feiniao muttered in his heart, and then turned to look at the civilians on the street.

Although he didn't know what the "full" standard of the Country of Waves was, as a T0-level medical ninja, judging from the physical conditions of these civilians, he knew that these people must have eaten, but absolutely Not full.
