Fresh rice will become pearl-like rice grains after a series of complex and tedious processes such as threshing, drying and shelling. This precious food, which is honored as "Silver Relics" and can only be enjoyed by daimyo nobles and powerful ninjas, is piled up like a hill in the granary of the farmland.
Such a rich harvest is unique in the entire Fire Country and even the entire ninja world.
Although Shen Yue reduced a lot of land rents and seemed to have made a big loss, she made the whole cake big. In this way, not only her tenants were satisfied, but she also got a lot of share.
These tenants who once had nothing were grateful for her kindness and in awe of the power of ninjas, so they spontaneously collected the best quality rice, all of which were polished rice that could be eaten directly after processing.
This is a rare thing in the Land of Fire. Until the last moment, civilians will not so easily give up the food they have worked so hard to grow. They will try every means to keep the only food in their hands, including but not limited to hiding the food in hidden caves in the mountains or mixing brown rice with miscellaneous grains.
You know, in this harvest season, one of the common jobs of ninjas is to help tax officials find all the food hidden by farmers, and then humanely destroy all these hateful untouchables.
But now, Shen Yue has not come to collect rent, and these tenants who have just harvested the grain have spontaneously filled their bags with the best refined rice and sent them directly to the Uchiha clan early in the morning.
It was early in the morning, and there were only a few people walking on the streets of Konoha, and the Uchiha clan land surrounded by high blue brick walls was as deserted as usual.
Even though six years have passed, the villagers still keep a respectful distance from the Uchiha clan, and few dare to rashly set foot in this territory that belongs exclusively to the Uchiha clan.
Compared with the Senju clan, which has long been integrated into the village, the Uchiha clan, who always keeps a cold face and pretends to be cool, is of course unlikely to be welcomed by ordinary villagers, but the Uchiha clan, who think highly of themselves, is also not welcomed by the other ninja clans who are regarded as weak chickens by them.
Coupled with rumors that the Uchiha clan is mentally unstable and emotionally unstable, which are not known to be true or false, and where they come from, such a vicious cycle, from civilians to ninja clans, the Uchiha clan is of course becoming less and less popular with others, and more and more isolated from the village, just like the Uchiha clan land, which is surrounded by a high and thick wall, just like a village within a village.
The wheels rolled over the land, bringing out a creaking sound of grinding. In the surprised and somewhat jealous eyes of passers-by, Kazuko and others pushed the carts loaded with rice with difficulty towards the Uchiha clan land.
Hayato and Yota, who were caught by Kazuko as security guards, were chewing a big rice cake in their hands. If anyone cast an envious or greedy look at the cart full of food, they would immediately glare back fiercely.
In the past, this kind of fierce look, coupled with the standard Uchiha cool guy face, was very useful in intimidating others, but now, the two of them were eating like hamsters with their cheeks bulging, coupled with the fierce look, it was very subtle and a little cute.
Seeing the two Uchiha cool guys' silly and rare appearance, passers-by couldn't help laughing, and some brave people laughed directly, which of course earned them a fiercer glare, but this look really had no deterrent power.
Gradually, the crowd gathered around, looking at the rice piled up on the cart that was almost full, and they all showed envy and amazement.
They stared at the snow-white rice in the simple basket. Even though the usually scary Uchiha was staring at them, they couldn't drive away these people who were saluting the rice.
These people's feet seemed to have taken root, and their eyes were devout as if they were looking at some priceless treasure. In this era when most people are not well fed, so much food gathered together, it was like a scene that only exists in dreams.
It was not until the cart disappeared at the end of the road that these villagers who were fascinated by it woke up from their dreams. But after waking up, they still couldn't forget the pile of white rice. I'm afraid that many people will dream about this scene in their dreams tonight.
"So much food, it's great!"
A villager in the crowd who was fascinated by it sighed after a long period of daze.
What they didn't know was that the rice in these carts was only a small part of the harvest that the Uchiha clan was supposed to share. The reason why they didn't bring all the rice here was because Kazuko and the others only had these few carts.
When the carts passed through half of Konoha and finally arrived at the Uchiha clan's land, this group of peopleThe people who delivered the food were followed by the villagers of Konoha.
They watched these neatly dressed, ruddy-faced peasants deliver the carts full of food into the Uchiha clan territory with the help of the two Uchiha, and then they believed that this was really the food delivered to the Uchiha clan.
With a full harvest, Hayato and Yota, who have always been regarded as the shame of the family, now really stepped into the clan territory with their heads held high.
When the clan members were surprised to see the carts of food and quickly surrounded them, the two of them couldn't help but curl their lips. They wanted to act cool, but their eyes were shining, full of pride and pride.
They contributed to the harvest of so much food!
They grabbed anyone and asked about the whereabouts of the two leaders. Unfortunately, today was still the day for the ninja school, and the two had already gone to school early.
"Where are Madara-sama and Kamatsuki-sama?"
"They went to school."
"Then Kanoko-sama should be here, right? Go and call him. Forget it, let's go find him directly!"
After that, Hayato and Yota rushed to Kanoko's mansion, leaving only Kazuko and others guarding the cart, surrounded by a large group of Uchiha who came to watch the fun.
To be honest, these Uchiha who were dressed in black, had cold expressions and were silent were indeed scary at first glance. Ordinary people would be scared to death if they were surrounded like this.
But Kazuko and others had also been with Uchiha before. Uchiha Hayato and Uchiha Yota would run to the fields to help every now and then. After so long, the two groups had already developed feelings and experience in getting along.
The wise Kazuko had already foreseen this situation, and they had prepared secret weapons for this.
According to the experience of smoothing out the hair for Hayato and Yota, Kazuko and the others took out a large basket carefully placed in the corner of the car. After lifting the thick gauze covering it, the basket contained the magical weapon that had a miraculous effect on Uchiha - rice cake!
The white rice was crushed into powder with a pestle and mortar, and then the powder was carefully kneaded to remove the lumps. After putting it into the mold, the jam made of persimmon or wild fruit was mixed with wild honey to make the inner core, and then another layer of rice flour was spread out, and finally the mold was used to completely shape it, and then it was steamed in a steamer.
The rice cake made in this way is not only soft and sweet, but also has a sweet jam inner core that will flow out when you bite it. The first two tasters, Hayato and Yota, gave high praise for it and regarded it as an irreplaceable delicacy.
It is really difficult for people of the Uchiha clan to refuse sweet things.
This group of Uchiha who looked ferocious on the surface, after Kazuko stuffed rice cakes into their mouths one by one, generally hesitated for less than two or three seconds before biting into the rice cakes in their hands.
The jam with the sweetness of honey and fruit, paired with the fluffy and soft rice cakes, was soft and sweet when it fell on the tip of the tongue, and seemed to have flowing sugar, which was simply countless times more delicious than the only designated dessert of Konoha Village, the dango!
Such a sweet and delicious taste naturally conquered the hearts of the Uchiha people. Now, Kazuko didn't need to distribute rice cakes one by one. The Uchiha people who smelled the fragrance spontaneously lined up in front of her, eagerly waiting for the rice cakes.
The good Uchiha clan land, the good Uchiha clan cool guys and beautiful girls, all turned into squirrels for a while, eating until their cheeks bulged, and some even hurried home to urgently wake up their relatives and friends who were still sleeping, fearing that they would not be able to eat.
When Huo He followed Hayato and Yangta and rushed over in a hurry, he saw this scene-
Beside the cart full of grain, a woman who looked like a farmer was happily distributing rice cakes, and in front of her, almost all the Uchiha clan members gathered!
From old to young, from male to female, the people wearing black clan clothes quietly gathered together, and the team even stretched from the ground to the roof, and then from the roof to the ground, forming a continuous undulating black dragon.
And those Uchiha who had already got the rice cakes quietly stepped aside, chewing the rice cakes until they couldn't help themselves, as if they couldn't see anything, and only the rice cake in their hands was in their eyes.
"...What are you doing?!"
Huo He was shocked by this scene at first, and then he was so angry that his face turned red. He felt angry and funny, and felt that the face of the Uchiha clan was lost by these clan members.
These guys who usually have to be reserved and save face, lose their minds when they encounter sweet things, just like children, it's really infuriating!
"Oh no, it's Elder Huohe, everyone retreat!"
SeeingElder Huohe looked like he was about to lose his temper, and the Uchiha present immediately dispersed.
They jumped and dispersed in all directions swiftly and tacitly, like a black bird that just wanted to fly back to its nest, each returning to its own home and looking for its own mother.
But those who had already received the rice cakes carefully put away the half-eaten cakes, while those who had not received the rice cakes looked back at Kazuko and the basket of rice cakes from time to time, looking very unwilling.
Looking at the Uchiha people who finally dispersed, Kazuko also silently breathed a sigh of relief. She prepared a lot of rice cakes, but it couldn't withstand so many people eating!
"Are you here to deliver food? Thank you very much."
Huohei looked at the cart full of food and nodded with satisfaction. Although these foods could not be said to completely meet the needs of the entire clan, they could support it for a while.
Although this amount of food is far from enough to make up for the money spent on the farm, as long as his daughter Shen Yue's plan is somewhat effective, he, as a father, can suppress all opposition and let her continue.
"My Lord, this is only part of it. We will send the rest later."
"What, there is more?!"
This time, it was Huo He's turn to be shocked.
He thought that this was all, but he didn't expect that there was still food!
"That's right, Elder Huo He, there is still a lot. It will take several times to move it all."
Hayato and Yangta nodded in agreement, and added a sentence, which made Huo He's eyes widen in disbelief.
Could it be that Shen Yue's farming plan was really successful?
Thinking of this, he decided to go to the farm to take a look in person, then turned around and called Hayato and Yangta, and casually grabbed a few Uchiha passing by, and said to Kazuko:
"You lead the way, we will move the things back by ourselves!"
