Chapter 63 Lin Mo wouldn't lie! One hundred thousand for a jar is really a steal! The wildly popular snail rice noodles!
"Ugh."
Hearing Changpu's words, Shouda sighed and, with a slight toothache, pulled out the recipe from his pocket.
"Forehead."
Seeing her father's actions, Changpu was a little confused: "Dad, what are you doing taking out that piece of paper? Is it a materials list?"
Typed by hand; "."
Upon hearing Changpu's words, Shouda's lips twitched slightly, and he said, "This is what I got from Lin Mo's jar."
calamus:"."
When Changpu saw the blank sheet of paper her father took out, she fell silent.
One hundred thousand taels of silver yielded this thing?
If she hadn't heard from her father that Tenten and Naruto were also there, and hadn't even felt that Lin Mo shouldn't be that kind of person, she would have been certain that her father had been deceived.
"Lin Mo said this is some kind of gourmet recipe, but these days, who writes recipes down on paper?"
Shouda shook his head helplessly, a doting smile on his face: "However, when I think about how it's for you, Changpu, the money is well spent. Our noodle shop doesn't need 100,000 taels."
"father!"
Upon hearing her father's words, Changpu blushed instantly and lightly stomped her foot.
She quickly lowered her head, feeling as if a secret had been revealed to her, and was too shy to know what to do.
The handwritten words undoubtedly struck a chord with her—her affection and curiosity for Lin Mo seemed to be laid bare in her eyes.
He chuckled inwardly as he watched his daughter's reaction.
He knew his daughter's thoughts all too well.
Instead of directly arguing, she continued in a slightly teasing tone, "What? Can't I spend a little more money for you?"
Changpu muttered under her breath, "Who asked you to spend money on me?"
Changpu's voice grew softer and softer, making her appear even more shy and adorable.
Hand-Writing shook his head and chuckled, "Next time Lin Mo comes, you can be bolder in striking up a conversation. Okay, I'm going to knead the dough now."
With that, Shouda turned around and went to the side to get busy.
He had no interest in the recipe Lin Mo had mentioned, which was written on a blank sheet of paper; he'd rather knead his own ramen.
"Lin Mo shouldn't be lying to people."
Meanwhile, Changpu curiously examined the words written on the white paper.
Since this contains a recipe for delicious food, I might as well try making it myself; I don't have much else to do anyway.
Even at the very least, my father still spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy it back.
Moreover, she didn't believe Lin Mo would deceive her father.
Although our contact was brief, I found that the other person was a very gentle person.
Thinking of this, Changpu blushed slightly and carefully scanned the words on the white paper.
"It feels more like a secret seasoning recipe, combined with powder, um, the steps are a bit complicated."
After a quick glance, Changpu, being a cook, immediately figured it out.
These secret seasonings are probably the most important.
"Let's give it a try, there's nothing else to do anyway."
Changpu immediately picked up the recipe and went to the small kitchen in the back to cook it.
"This child."
Seeing the calamus's actions, Shouda couldn't help but chuckle.
Since the child is interested in tinkering, let him tinker. I can manage on my own anyway.
Time slips away quietly like this.
Every now and then, a customer would come in to eat ramen at Ichiraku Ramen. The seats in the shop were almost never empty. Customers came and went, and the aroma of ramen filled the air, as if even time itself was tainted by this tempting smell.
As the sun slowly sank in the west, the light in the sky gradually softened, and the shadows outside the shops gradually lengthened over time.
The hands never stopped, busily and skillfully preparing bowl after bowl of ramen.
"Huh? This is typed by hand, where's the iris?"
A regular customer of Ichiraku Ramen sat down and ordered a bowl of ramen. Upon discovering it was handmade and served, he exclaimed in surprise, "Where's the iris?"
The handmade ramen is very popular with the guests; it's always Ayame who brings the ramen.
"The child is fiddling with something new in the kitchen."
Hearing this, Shou Da chuckled and said, "I can manage on my own, so I won't trouble this child."
"Oh? Tinkering with something new?"
The customer immediately became interested and asked, "Could it be that Ichiraku Ramen is going to launch a new product again?"
Shouda smiled and nodded, just as he was about to answer, when suddenly a faint, sour smell quietly drifted into his nose.
The smell was faint at first, but it quickly became strong, as if some over-fermented ingredient mixed with an unknown odor was spreading in the air.
The guest paused, frowned, and stopped typing. The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with astonishment and confusion.
Where does this smell come from?
Everything was fine just now, so why does this indescribable smell suddenly appear?
"This taste"
The guest couldn't help but cover his nose, his eyes filled with curiosity and doubt.
Hand-typing looked confused and quickly turned to look towards the kitchen.
Just then, the kitchen door was suddenly pushed open, and an excited voice came from inside.
"Dad, I've figured it out!" Changpu rushed out excitedly, holding a bowl with a faint white steam rising from it.
A proud smile radiated from her face, as if she were holding some incredible invention in her hands.
But as soon as she appeared, the sour smell in the store became even stronger, almost making it impossible to open one's eyes.
Both the man and the customer took a step back, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Holy crap, it stinks."
"What's the point of researching this flavor?"
"Typed by hand. Here's the money. I'll come back tomorrow."
The customers still inside Ichiraku Ramen immediately covered their noses upon smelling the aroma.
Those who wanted to sit for a while after finishing their meal left immediately.
Some people had just sat down and left in a hurry without even intending to eat any more.
Typed manually: "."
Watching some familiar old customers leave, his hand twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.
Then she turned to look at the calamus, enduring the overwhelming smell, and asked in a calm tone, "Calamus, what is this?"
Although he was already somewhat disoriented by the smell.
"Forehead"
When Changpu came out and saw that the shop was almost empty, and even the few customers had been driven away by the smell, she lowered her head in embarrassment: "It's the snail rice noodles made from that piece of paper you gave me."
"But Dad, you should try it first."
As she spoke, Changpu quickly added, "This tastes wonderful."
Typed manually: "."
Seeing the sour and foul-smelling thing in Changpu's hand, Shouda's face turned green.
My own precious daughter actually made me eat this.
Is this thing edible?
This taste.
"It really is delicious."
Seeing Shouda's face gradually contort, Changpu hurriedly said, "Dad, have a taste."
"No"
Shouda looked at the bowl of snail rice noodles in his hand, which emitted a strong sour and stinky smell, and his face turned noticeably green.
The sour, foul smell kept wafting into his nostrils, making him instinctively want to take a step back.
But seeing the expectant look on Ayame's face, he had to force himself to hold back.
"It really is delicious."
Seeing that her father hadn't made a move, Changpu hurriedly emphasized it again.
She added, "I'm not kidding you, this is truly a delicious dish; I've tasted it."
He felt a bitter taste in his mouth, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and try to say something to ease the awkwardness.
Before he could even open his mouth, Changpu had already eagerly picked up a mouthful of snail rice noodles and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
"Hmm"
Before I could even react, my mouth was already stuffed with snail rice noodles.
The sour, foul smell exploded in his mouth instantly, his eyes widened suddenly, and he froze.
He thought the taste would be unpalatable, but strangely, as he savored it, his tongue gradually began to experience a peculiar, refreshing sensation.
Although the sour and pungent smell was strong, it was surprisingly appetizing. The salty and savory broth and the chewy rice noodles intertwined in the mouth, creating an indescribable delicious experience.
"this"
Shouda was startled; he had never imagined that such a peculiar flavor could bring such a strong delicious impact.
He subconsciously took another bite, savoring it carefully. The sour, spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavors unfolded layer by layer on his tongue, immersing him in this ultimate taste experience.
After a few mouthfuls of snail rice noodles, I found myself unable to stop eating.
The sour smell that he used to avoid at all costs has now become an irresistible temptation.
She ate bite after bite, completely forgetting her initial resistance, and even drank the soup without hesitation.
He put down the empty bowl, raised his hand, and looked up at the calamus with a shocked expression, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He never expected that this seemingly unremarkable, even strangely-tasting, dish would bring him such a wonderful taste experience.
Seeing this, Changpu smiled smugly, hands on her hips, looking as if she had expected this: "How about it, Dad? I didn't lie to you, did I? This really is delicious! Although the taste is a bit unique, you'll love it after just one bite!"
"Lin Mo really wasn't lying to you, this thing is worth 100,000 taels!"
"I have a feeling this thing will be a hit once it's released; it's truly delicious!"
Changpu became more and more excited as she spoke: "I knew it! Lin Mo isn't that kind of person. My intuition was right!"
Upon hearing Changpu's words, Shouda opened his mouth, still reeling from the shock.
He truly never imagined that the paper he obtained from Lin Mo's jar shop could actually be used to make such a delicacy.
He himself was completely won over by this bowl of snail rice noodles!
"So we can definitely add this snail rice noodle dish to the menu."
Teuchi chuckled and said, "Many people say that our Ichiraku Ramen isn't strong enough in flavor, but once ramen gets too strong, it completely ruins the original taste."
"Now, the emergence of this snail rice noodle business will definitely surprise them!"
"This is the taste."
As he spoke, Shou Da's expression hardened for a moment: "This smell alone is enough to deter many people."
"And it's certainly not something everyone will like."
Although he found the food delicious, many people have different tastes.
"That's easy."
Ayame said with great enthusiasm, "Dad, your reputation and that of Ichiraku Ramen are known throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village. I'm sure our regular customers will trust you."
"Once they try it, taste it, and then promote it, it will definitely become a hit."
"This snail rice noodle soup is so popular, we'll open another shop specializing in it!"
"If it's not popular, then we'll add it to our noodle shop and open a small private room to avoid affecting people eating ramen."
As the calamus continued to analyze, the hand-stirred eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Savoring the lingering flavor in his mouth, he nodded involuntarily.
"This gourmet recipe is indeed worth 100,000 taels of silver."
"If it were for sale, you definitely couldn't buy this formula for 100,000 taels of silver."
The next second, Changpu hurriedly said, "Lin Mozhen really didn't lie to you, this is a gourmet recipe."
"And this is just from opening one jar, and you've already found this delicious food. We can definitely open a few more jars."
"If they add some more delicious food, they'll make a fortune!"
"So, you'll take me to open the jar tomorrow."
"Um."
Hearing Changpu's words, Shouda looked embarrassed and said, "You're right. Tomorrow I'll go to Lin Mo's place to apologize. I misunderstood him today."
Although he made up an excuse for it being for his daughter, it still cost 100,000 taels, which would require selling dozens or even hundreds of bowls of ramen to earn, so it still hurt his wallet.
But now it seems that Lin Mo really didn't lie to him.
Having tasted snail rice noodles myself, I know that the recipe for this delicacy is definitely not something that can be bought for 100,000 taels of silver.
"it is good."
Changpu smiled broadly when she heard her father say he was going to take her to Lin Mo's place.
Knowing where Lin Mo runs his shop means I can go look for him when I have nothing else to do.
Take a walk around more.
If snail rice noodles become a huge hit, just open a shop right next to Lin Mo!
"Let's make a lot of these snail rice noodles tonight and sell some tomorrow morning so our customers can try them."
Immediately, he typed out the suggestion, and Changpu nodded in agreement.
They quickly tidied up, closed the door, and began busily preparing the seasoning for the snail rice noodles.
As a professional ramen shop owner, Shouda is extremely familiar with the seasonings.
Silent all night.
The next morning, the streets of Konoha Village gradually awoke in the dawn.
The doors of Ichiraku Ramen opened early, and warm yellow lights shone from the shop, welcoming customers for the new day.
Hand-stirred and calamus prepared today's menu early this morning.
Especially the snail rice noodle seasoning that I worked so hard to make last night, which was quietly placed behind the counter.
Soon, the first batch of customers entered the store; they were all regulars who came for breakfast regularly.
As soon as they stepped into the store, they smelled a strange odor.
The smell was hard to describe; it was sour and stinky, with a peculiar odor that made you want to frown.
"Why does the shop smell so strange today?" a customer asked, frowning as he sat down.
Hand-typed, having anticipated this reaction, explained with a smile, "This is our newly launched product—snail rice noodles. Don't be fooled by the smell; the taste is absolutely amazing! I guarantee you'll love it in the name of Ichiraku Ramen."
"Luosifen (river snail rice noodles)?"
Another customer sniffed the air with suspicion, looking utterly speechless: "This smell is too peculiar! Is it really edible?"
This smell is absolutely disgusting.
Hand-held smiled and nodded, affirming, "Don't worry, although the taste is unique, you'll discover its deliciousness after just one bite. Would I tarnish my own reputation? Want to try it?"
Upon hearing what the ramen shop owner said, the customers exchanged glances, some with expressions of disbelief, others with curiosity.
After all, handmade food would never be used to fool them with bad food.
They are all regular customers.
Therefore, their hesitation was tinged with a hint of expectation.
"Then I'll give it a try." Finally, a customer bravely said, ordering a bowl of snail rice noodles with some skepticism.
Soon after, Changpu personally brought out a steaming bowl of snail rice noodles and placed it in front of the guest.
The strong, sour smell assaulted the nostrils again, causing the guest to frown.
But I still mustered up my courage and picked up a mouthful of snail rice noodles to put in my mouth.
At that moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and the chopsticks in his hand stopped in mid-air.
The originally unbearable taste transformed into a powerful and delicious sensation on the tongue, with sour, spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavors blending perfectly in the mouth, bringing a unique taste experience he had never had before.
"This is so delicious!"
The man instantly became excited, quickly picked up another large bite, and began to eat it with great enthusiasm.
His excited reaction immediately attracted the attention of others. The guests who were still hesitant became curious and asked to order a bowl to try as well.
For a time, Changpu was busy serving bowls of snail rice noodles to the table, and the sour and pungent smell gradually filled the store.
But with the first bite, all doubts and disbelief were quickly replaced by excitement and admiration.
"This is absolutely delicious! You really created a gem this time!"
Another customer, while eating heartily, exclaimed sincerely, "This stuff is absolutely amazing!"
For a time, customers at Ichiraku Ramen began to enthusiastically discuss this snail rice noodle dish.
The once empty store gradually became lively.
Hand-beating and calamus were busy running around, but their faces were full of excited smiles.
This means that the attempt was a success!
As more and more people try it, this snail rice noodle dish, which originally had a "special" flavor, has gradually won the favor of customers, and many people even ask to take it away after they finish eating.
Ichiraku Ramen has once again become the focus of discussion among its patrons due to this innovation.
This gust of wind is destined to be carried to all parts of Konoha Village.
"It seems that snail rice noodles have really been a success."
After a busy period, the limited supply of snail rice noodles quickly sold out.
Seeing the satisfied expressions on the guests' faces, he felt incredibly excited.
It really worked.
The snail rice noodle recipe I got from Lin Mo is really popular.
Although some people don't like it, the majority still do!
"Dad, I told you everyone would love it!"
Changpu stood to the side, her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter: "After we close up, we'll go open the jars at Lin Mo's place."
Shou Da nodded, looking gratefully at Changpu: "Yes, Changpu, you really did a great job. If it weren't for your research, I would have completely overlooked this snail rice noodle dish."
You know, when I first got this snail rice noodle recipe yesterday, I didn't think much of it.
It was only after Changpu took action that he discovered the exact amount of snail rice noodles in the dish.
Just this morning, as soon as it was launched, most people who like ramen instantly switched to snail rice noodles!
"So, we can totally open a snail rice noodle shop."
Changpu squinted and said, "Wait two more days, and our snail rice noodles will definitely be a hit in Konoha Village."
"good."
He nodded and said, "When the time comes, you'll be the boss. You'll be in charge of the snail rice noodles, and I'll be in charge of Ichiraku Ramen."
"I still have to thank Lin Mo."
As he spoke, Shou Da sighed again, his heart filled with gratitude for Lin Mo.
Luosifen is a newly launched product, and it's something to try out.
Once the pricing and promotion take place, it will undoubtedly become even more popular.
Earning 100,000 taels is a piece of cake, isn't it?
Moreover, it can become a symbol of Konoha Village!
I want both myself and my daughter to become famous throughout Konoha!
The more I typed, the more excited I got.
"Handmade, and another bowl of snail rice noodles!"
Just then, a customer who had finished a bowl of snail rice noodles waved.
"Sorry, we're out of snail rice noodles."
Upon hearing this, Changpu glanced at the product and then said apologetically, "This is a trial version we launched today. Let's see if it's popular. We'll wait for tomorrow's version."
"Huh? That's all."
"I should have just packed one to go; I was thinking of letting my wife try it when I got home."
Hearing Changpu's words, the people eating snail rice noodles present were extremely astonished.
That's it?
Many people looked disappointed.
"Don't worry, it'll definitely be available tomorrow!"
Seeing everyone's disappointment, Shou Da chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you guys to like snail rice noodles so much."
"Okay, I'll come earlier tomorrow."
"Sigh, after eating snail rice noodles, I can't even eat Ichiraku Ramen."
"I understand. It's impossible to test the merits of a new product in advance. Congratulations on typing this out by hand."
One by one, those who heard the words spoke up, some even offering their congratulations.
Time slips away quietly.
Soon it was morning, and the noodle shop gradually became empty.
"Dad, Dad, let's go open Lin Mo's jar."
Seeing this, Ayame couldn't wait any longer and said, "Let's go thank Lin Mo in person and open a few more jars. If we can find another recipe for this kind of delicious food, our Ichiraku Ramen shop will definitely make a fortune!"
"Um."
Hearing what Changpu said, Shouda nodded with a smile.
Even without Changpu saying so, he would have done it anyway.
The fact that snail rice noodles sold out so quickly this morning proves just how popular this dish is.
If a few similar shops were to open, the reputation of Ichiraku Ramen would surely spread beyond Konoha and reach other places!
That morning, if fifty people came, then more than forty of them ate snail rice noodles.
They even packed up leftovers to take away after eating, praising them highly.
It goes without saying that snail rice noodles will definitely become a hit in Konoha!
This timeframe will certainly not be too long.
Gaining fame and fortune at the same time is exciting just to think about.
Because the price of snail rice noodles hasn't been officially set yet!
The sum of these two things is far beyond what 100,000 taels can measure.
All of this is thanks to the jar shop opened by Lin Mo.
Thinking of this, he stopped tidying up and closed the noodle shop door. He then excitedly took Changpu and ran to the jar shop where Lin Mo was.
"We still need about thirty more jars to get our own exclusive jar."
at this time.
In the jar shop.
Lin Mo, who had stopped refining chakra, looked at the number of jars sold and fell into deep thought.
There are still more than thirty gaps to reach one hundred jars.
Where can we fill this gap?
Subconsciously, Lin Mo checked the range of the True Vision Guard's radiation, a radius of one kilometer outside the jar shop.
