When Cold Wind returned home with a small bag of crayfish, Moonlight and Hoshino had already returned from Naruto Tower. They were teaching Gale Swordsmanship in the backyard.
Keihuizi was silently kneading rice balls in the kitchen.
"Mom, you haven't eaten yet?"
Cold Wind was a little surprised.
Keihuizi said without turning her head, "This is for your father. He's going to the frontline tomorrow."
Cold Wind sighed in his heart. What was to come would come.
Then, he pulled himself together and handed the bag of crayfish to Keihuizi. "Mom, this is the crayfish I caught from the river. It's very delicious!"
"Hmm?"
Keihuizi looked at the bag and frowned. "Crayfish? What's this? Can it be eaten? "
"Yes, we ate it during the picnic."
Cold Wind made up a story. "Mom, Dad is going to the frontline. Let's make braised crayfish for him."
Keihuizi took the bag subconsciously. After a while, she seemed to have thought of something. She helplessly glared at Cold Wind and said angrily, "Wind Sauce, you want to eat it, don't you?"
Cold Wind grinned.
It didn't matter whether he wanted to eat it or not. As long as it was cooked, it was basically settled.
Keihuizi washed the crayfish again. Then, under Cold Wind's guidance, she made braised crayfish.
Because there were limited spices at home, she only added soy sauce, MSG, salt, ginger, dried chili, spring onions, and so on. Even so, when the crayfish was out of the pot, the rich aroma quickly filled the living room and then floated to the backyard.
"It smells so good!"
Keihuizi looked at the red crayfish and green spring onions in the bowl and felt an inexplicable appetite.
"Keihuizi?"
Moonlight, Hoshino, and Gale, who smelled the crayfish in the backyard, ran in.
"Auntie Keihuizi, what are you cooking? It smells so good!" Gale felt hungry again.
"Wind Sauce brought it back. It's called crayfish. Everyone, try it."
Keihuizi took four pairs of chopsticks.
Cold Wind took the chopsticks but did not eat the crayfish. Instead, he waited for Moonlight and Hoshino to eat one before asking, "Dad, how does it taste?"
Moonlight and Hoshino nodded. "Very fragrant, very spicy, very suitable for drinking, very good!"
Cold Wind smiled. "What do you think, Dad, if we sell the crayfish in the izakaya?"
Moonlight Hoshino's eyes lit up.
The purpose of the izakaya was to eat and drink. If it was paired with crayfish …
There seemed to be something going on.
"Cold Wind, this is an adult's business. Children shouldn't …" Although Keiko also felt that the crayfish was delicious, she subconsciously felt that Cold Wind's current task was to study, not these messy things.
Cold Wind didn't wait for her to finish and interrupted her, saying, "Crayfish have strong adaptability to the environment, and they reproduce very quickly. If we promote them, it won't take more than a few months to reach a scale!"
"Cold Wind!" Keihuizi was unhappy.
However, Cold Wind said righteously, "Mom, everything I do is for the sake of the people. The higher the profit of the izakaya, the better the lives of the people. This way, even if there are people sacrificing themselves, we can have the ability to settle their families properly and save the village's rescue fund!"
Keihuizi was stunned and looked at Cold Wind in disbelief. Listen to this, is this what a child should say?!
Moonlight and Hoshino's eyes were shining with excitement. "Cold Wind, I didn't expect you to be so sensible! To think of the people and the village, I'm really … "
Cold Wind smiled shyly. "When the izakaya makes money, I can eat there every day without paying."
The excitement on Moonlight and Hoshino's face collapsed instantly. This was probably his purpose. However, Keihuizi's rice balls were indeed … cough cough!
Moonlight and Hoshino, who had a strong desire to survive, quickly diverted their attention and asked, "Cold Wind, how did you know about the crayfish?"
Cold Wind said, "My classmate from the Aburame Clan told me."
"The information about the Aburame Clan …"
Compared to his son's words, the reputation of the Aburame Clan made Moonlight Hoshino more confident. He said, "In that case, it is indeed worth a try!"
After asking where the crayfish was found, Moonlight and Hoshino immediately went out.
In less than half an hour, Moonlight and Hoshino took the two old men, Moonlight Well and Moonlight Matsushita, to the big river east of the village. Under the moonlight above their heads, the three of them found crayfish swimming around in the branches.
"Patriarch, are these things really delicious?"
Moonlight Well asked. "What if it is not popular after the launch of the izakaya?"
"Even if it is not popular, it will not cause any loss to the izakaya." Moonlight Hoshino said, "But if it is popular after launch, you should know what to do, right?"
"Of course."
Moonlight Well nodded solemnly. If the crayfish was really popular as Cold Wind said, then the Moonlight Izakaya could rapidly expand with the crayfish and occupy more of the market!
Moonlight Matsushita could not help but laugh. "If the crayfish can really improve the family's economy, Little Cold Wind will also have made a great contribution!"
Made a great contribution?
Moonlight Hoshino could not help but think of Cold Wind's words. He shook his head and laughed, but after all, he was his son. Moonlight Hoshino coughed and braced himself to say, "The information about the crayfish was told to me by Cold Wind. If the crayfish is really popular, then the izakaya will be free for him in the future. If it is not popular … he should be too embarrassed to enter the izakaya."
The two old men looked at each other and nodded in unison.
…
At home.
Keiko looked at Cold Wind with a serious face. "Wind-chan, why do you want to eat at the izakaya so much? Is it because the rice balls and sushi made by mom are not delicious? "
Cold Wind blinked twice, then turned to look at his younger brother, who was rushing to the backyard with a wooden sword, with a serious face, and asked, "Blast, how many times have I told you to refine Chakra for two hours after dinner?! Why do you want to practice swordsmanship? Is it because your brother's words are not effective? "
"Brother …"
The little brother turned back and felt wronged. "Uncle said that he will leave the village tomorrow, so he will guide me in swordsmanship tonight."
"Even if that's the case, you can't just ignore my words!"
Cold Wind said sternly as he walked quickly to his little brother. As a result, he only took two steps before his shoulder was pressed by Keiko.
"Wind! Chan! Just because your mother is talking to you, you can ignore it, right? "
Keiko's voice did not sound so pleasant.
Cold Wind's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he kept winking at his little brother.
Wind was a little hesitant. He looked at the expressionless Keiko and felt very scared for some reason. Without saying anything, he grabbed the wooden sword and ran to the backyard.
Cold Wind's face changed. Wind, Wind, you, you, you … you have changed. You have changed so much that I almost can't recognize you!
After running to the backyard, Wind looked back at the living room with lingering fear. He thought to himself, Auntie Keiko looks so scary when she is angry! As for brother … sorry …
