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

After Uchiha Masakazu changed his name to Tachibana Masakazu, Tachibana Zhipei began to take him with him, taking him to banquets, introducing him to the current situation in the court, and teaching him how to be a noble.

Step by step, guide him into the circle of the capital.

Fortunately, a large part of the Uchiha family's family knowledge was inherited from when he was a noble in the Land of Thunder. Masakazu Tachibana understood it very quickly.

What Tachibana Zhiping is most satisfied with is Tachibana Masahiro's temperament.

In official circles, too much talk can lead to many mistakes. If you are not 100% sure, don't speak.

But to truly introduce this young man into the DPRK situation, an opportunity is needed.

"Masakazu, send a letter to the Uchiha and ask them if they have anything good that they can offer as tribute to the daimyo."

"Yes, Father."

Half a month later, Uchiha sent someone to deliver a box of tightly wrapped pottery.

Uchiha, who had brought the pottery, watched the box and the pottery contained in it cross the open road.

After Tachibana Jippei retreated, he took out a scroll from his arms.

"Master Tachibana, this is the gift we want to give to the Daimyo."

A set of white porcelain tableware.

Tachibana Zhiping was stunned.

Dai Uchiha explained, "Because the box has to be opened and inspected by each level along the way, I can only bring it in a scroll."

After a while, Tachibana Zhiping suddenly came back to his senses, slapped the table and stood up.

"You are right in considering this. This thing must not be revealed in advance."

He excitedly walked around the room with his hands behind his back.

"Okay! Great! With this thing, our plan will be 100% successful."

Their daimyo cared most about appearance and royal authority. Anyone or anything that could show him his privileges in front of everyone would be favored by him.

This kind of rare treasure that no one has ever seen before was easily used by him as a utensil for daily meals. What else could show his superiority and dignity more than this!

——————

In April of another year, Xingjuro celebrated his seventh birthday. Except for Madara and Kurama, who were still traveling abroad, the patriarch's family gathered at home to celebrate Xingjuro's birthday.

Seven years old, for the ninja family, means that a child has finally stood up, and it also means that this child has to leave the clan, step out of the protective circle of his parents, and explore the cruel world outside.

"Xingjuro, happy birthday!!"

Hao was half excited and half worried at the thought of Xingjuro going out of the house to pursue his career. He drank heavily throughout the scene, and when he got drunk, he hugged Maomao and cried bitterly.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu daddy Xingshourou, how come you have grown up in such a blink of an eye? Obviously, you are still so young!"

Uchiha Izuna was holding the hangover soup and trying to get Hao Yi to drink it, without forgetting to answer the question.

"Brother Haoyi, what you are holding is Maomao, can you keep it small?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Anshourou..."

"Xingjuro is fine. Stop crying and drink first."

"Give me wine! I can still drink!"

"Yes, yes, this is wine, drink it quickly, you won't be able to do it, right?"

"I can do it!"

After Hao Yi drank the hangover soup in one gulp, he fell asleep soon after.

Xingjulang, who had been anxiously running around beside him, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He wanted to step forward, but Izuna was afraid that Koichi would lock him in when he got closer, so she kept him behind.

The room fell silent, Izuna helped Koichi back to his room to rest, and Tajima talked to Anjuro about what he would do next year.

"Xingshou Lang, next year I will find a transportation task with a suitable distance in the clan. You have to travel with your uncles. No matter what you encounter on the road, protect yourself. Can you do it?"

Anjuro asked, "What if someone attacks? What if the uncles are injured?"

"Then you must protect yourself!" Tajima emphasized seriously, and then softened his tone.

"Now the caravan is full of elites from the clan who have been on the battlefield. They are all very strong. They don't need the protection of a kid like you, do you understand?"

"……knew."

Tajima touched Anjurou's hair, which became increasingly fluffy as he got older. Although there was a small knot tied at the back of his head, it still felt as good as ever.

"You should train more intensively. If you are still not good at ninjutsu, focus on swordsmanship. A powerful samurai can cut off waterfalls with one sword. Work hard in that direction. The day you can do it, I will admit that you are A strong person who doesn’t need protection from others.”

"Is it agreed?"

"Well, it's agreed. Before then?"

"I will protect myself."

"Good boy," Tajima patted Anjuro's shoulder, "Let's see what new plants you can summon this year~"

"Oh, by the way, the letter that Madara sent home before said that he wants you to make the handprints according to the handprints of Youxu Yinsi. This kid must have been mixed up with the Wooden Messenger again when he went out to travel. You don't know how to send it for your birthday. Souvenirs come back.”

Although he still couldn't release his ninjutsu, Anjuro's hand seals were getting faster and faster, and he could complete three hand seals in one second.

Accompanied by the familiar smoke, [Cabbage Pitcher] joins in!

[The Cabbage Pitcher is very good at smashing cabbages. After all, that's how it makes money, and it's good at it. It just doesn't understand how the enemy got to the house in the first place. 】

After looking at the panel and then at the round shape of the cabbage pitcher on the ground, Anjuro was extremely happy.

Here comes another edible plant! ! !

How can you have fried pork cutlet rice without shredded cabbage? ! !

"Uncle! This is a vegetable!! It's the same as a corn pitcher!"

Vegetables, Tajima nodded. Vegetables are not bad. The unit price of vegetables is quite high. If it were in the Land of Earth, it would be more than three times more expensive.

It seems that the clan can try to open up trade routes to the Kingdom of Earth.

"Has Anjuro thought of its name?"

“Cabbage Pitcher!!”

"Cabbage?" Tajima looked closely, "The leaves are curled and wrapped around the center. It's a very vivid name."

Izuna, who finally settled Koichi properly, also joined the conversation, "It's okay to call it cabbage. How do you eat this? Cold or stir-fried?"

"I don't know. Have the targets in the yard been put away? Let's see what they can throw out first."

What can a cabbage pitcher throw?

Of course it’s cabbage!

After watching the cabbage fall apart on the target, Izuna and Tajima quickly rescued the dozen or so cabbages they threw later.

"This thing can be used as a training prop."

Izuna weighed the cabbage in her hand, "You have to seize the opportunity, and your movements have to be gentle, and you can't block the target."

Tajima agreed with Senna's view, "Inform each family's children around ten years old to come and pick up the cabbage. It's a good time to explore how to make this delicious."

"Are you all coming?"

Tajima knocked his son on the head and said, "Come here, Anjuro's Wood Release has long been an open secret in the clan."

…

"Hello, chief!"

"Brother Quanna!"

"Xingjuro! Long time no see! Do you remember sister!"

For a moment, the yard of the clan leader's house was crowded with half-sized Uchihas. Anjuro summoned four more cabbage pitchers, which made the Uchihas who had witnessed the wood release technique for the first time applauded in unison. .

Bang bang bang bang!

"Well done Anjuro!"

With a headache, Izuna directed the group of Uchihas who liked to join in the fun to line up in groups and step forward to pick up the cabbage one by one.

"If anyone can't catch it, just wait for additional training."

"There's no way I can't pick it up."

"Brother Quanna, you are looking down on us."

Already at their most active age, and with such novel things to play with, the Uchihas excitedly showed off their skills.

Back flipping on the spot, stepping on the wall and doing a kite turn are all the basics of the basics.

(You can substitute the beginning of Jackie Chan's Adventures, fun)

Anjuro was dazzled by what he saw.

Even these people can find time to touch Xing Julang.

In the bustling evening, everyone dispersed. Quan Nai picked up a few more cabbages for the family to eat at night, and then put away the targets.

Without a target to attack, the cabbage pitchers also fell into a deep sleep.

Hao Yi woke up after sleeping all afternoon and ran to the kitchen to cook.

"?What's this?"

"Your son's newly summoned plant, tell me about you. You are not a good drinker, but you still drink so much. You..."

"The situation is special. Second uncle, I will definitely stop drinking from now on. How do I make this?"

Tajima weighed the cabbage and said, "Anjuro said this is a vegetable. Let's stir-fry it first to try the taste."

Hao Yi held a knife in one hand and asked while cutting vegetables, "Aren't you going to send it to the agricultural department this time?"

Tajima cut some pork shreds as ingredients, "The Sixth Elder hasn't come back yet, let's talk about it later."

Since the leaves of cabbage are relatively firm and thick in texture, Koichi chose to stir-fry them over high heat in order to preserve its crispy texture.

In order to compare the taste of raw food and cooked food, Tajima also chopped a cabbage into thin shreds, simply mixed it with sugar and evenly mixed it.

After the dishes were served, everyone couldn't wait to take a bite and said in unison,

"Five ants!!!"

"This thing is so crispy even after it's fried, it's delicious!"

"Father, the cold version is also delicious. It seems that the cabbage itself has a little sweetness."

"The cold version is more refreshing, and it will probably go well with fried things."

"I feel like making hot-pot dishes would also be good, Xingshourou, you did a great job!"

The same scene also happened in every household in the Uchiha clan.

Some Uchiha made salty and spicy pickled vegetables.

Some Uchiha eat it with the fried pork cutlet at home.

Uchiha Ling was pregnant recently and couldn't eat. Huo Feng made the cabbage given to them into tomato-flavored stewed cabbage rolls, which was sour and very appetizing.

Others simply wrap the meat in cabbage leaves and fry them. The originally easily burnt barbecue has tender cabbage leaves inside, which is another delicious dish.

The next day, Anjuro thought about how to make Okonomiyaki that he had eaten before. He poured water and eggs into the flour and stirred it into a batter. He poured the cabbage, minced corn and minced pork that he had at home into the batter, and added a little bit. Season with salt, then fry it in a pan, and add your favorite sauce when eating. It is very popular with the family.

Mikiko Uchiha, as the clan's cook, thought up a somewhat complicated soup. The main ingredients were cabbage, chopped corn, mushrooms picked in the forest, pickled bacon and milk.

First remove the cabbage core that affects the taste, then chop the cabbage leaves into small pieces, remove the roots of the mushrooms and chop them into small pieces, clean the bacon and cut it into small pieces.

After the corn oil is heated, stir-fry the bacon until fragrant, then add chopped cabbage and mushrooms. After all the ingredients are stir-fried, add two small spoons of flour to the pot. Stir until no flour particles are visible in the pot, then add chopped corn. and milk, slowly heat to a slight boil. Because the bacon inside can provide salt, no additional seasoning is needed.

This soup is milky white in color, thick in texture, and rich in nutrients. It is very suitable for autumn and winter. Just one bowl can warm people up.

When Kyojuro, who went to play with Ajin, saw this soup, he was in awe of Mrs. Mikiko.

This, isn't this what the foreigners drank in his previous life!

A bowl is so expensive! And it's not enough to eat!

"Sister Mikiko! Our store also sells this!"

Kyojuro suggested excitedly after drinking a bowl.

It's very profitable!

Mikiko was a little tempted, "Since Kyojuro thinks it's very good, it will definitely make money!"

"I'll tell the clan leader, we'll sell it when it's cold!"

"And there's Grandpa Jian!"

"The Land of Thunder? The Land of Thunder is better!"

The Land of Thunder has a developed animal husbandry industry, milk is cheaper, people there are more accustomed to the taste of milk, and the weather gets cold earlier. Isn't it the most suitable country to sell this soup!

Mikiko kissed Kyojuro's little face excitedly.

What a little business genius!

——————

Half a month later, on March 3, the daimyo held a Qushui Banquet on the embankment of the Otori Pond as usual.

The banquet invited more than five civil and military officials, as well as folk poets, so that the monarch and his subjects could get along and sing praises of the peaceful and prosperous times.

Amid the melodious music, the participants sat by the winding stream, and the wine glasses filled with fine wine were placed in the water, floating on the water and moving with the flow of the water.

The guests were asked to compose a poem before the wine glasses floated in front of them, and the poems were chanted by professional staff, and the speed and literary talent were evaluated.

In previous years, many folk poets who made excellent works at the banquet were rewarded by the daimyo. If the officials had good poems, they would be rewarded according to their status.

This is not only an exciting and challenging game, but also a great opportunity to show your talents in public and recommend yourself to the daimyo.

The daimyo was also happy to hear his ministers singing praises. When he heard a wonderful sentence, he would order his attendants to copy it down, and then ask the palace musicians to compose a suitable tune on the spot to recite the waka.

After three rounds of drinking, the wine glass stopped in front of Tachibana Jihei. He wrote the waka he had prepared on it and presented it to the daimyo.

The daimyo became interested and asked,

"I wonder what the treasure you said in your song is, as bright as the moon, as clear as the sky, whiter than frost and snow, and worth a thousand gold."

Tachibana Jihei stood up and bowed, and replied, "Your Majesty, I got this treasure by chance, and I was going to present it to Your Majesty at the banquet today."

The daimyo nodded slightly, and the waiter beside him immediately shouted loudly,

"Call Tachibana Jihei's son Masakazu to present the treasure!"

(Qushui Banquet is the Qushui Liushang we are familiar with. Japan also has it. It is likely that it was passed on from here)
