"Hehehe..."
Aoba looked at Teuchi with a straight face and laughed a few times. He still wrote that sentence at the end of the poster.
After writing it, he began to paint.
Aoba held a paintbrush and painted the color of the poster very brightly.
"Not bad!"
Teuchi looked at the poster that Aoba had finished painting and nodded with satisfaction.
"By the way, Aoba, let me ask you something. Do you need to limited membership?" Teuchi suddenly asked.
"What do you mean?"
Aoba pretended not to understand and asked.
"Mikoto just asked me for one. Don't you want one? I don't mean to let you be a member, but to give you a quota for other people." Teuchi blinked and said. He seemed to have seen through everything. He continued to add, "I see, your Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain is very interested in the membership card."
"No way, Brother Teuchi, you can see that?" Aoba said with a smile.
"Why don't you take a look at who I am? Who among Konohagakure people hasn't eaten in my shop before? I can understand what they are thinking with just a glance. I saw that your Captain wants a membership card, so I asked him to send you a letter. If I'm not wrong, he asked you to get him a membership card, right?" Teuchi said with a wink, and the expression on his face was like everything was under his control.
"As expected of Big Brother Teuchi!"
Aoba gave Teuchi a thumbs-up. He initially thought it was a coincidence, but now it seemed that Teuchi had seen through everything.
He thought about it carefully.
Teuchi had indeed helped him a lot. In the past, when he asked Minato for help to apply for a holiday, it was Teuchi who was helping him.
This seemingly ordinary noodle shop owner had sharp eyes and could guess the thoughts of others through his rich experience.
"You really can keep quiet; you will start selling membership cards tomorrow. Because you don't mention it to me, I can't wait any longer." Teuchi said.
"Hey, hey, hey, I am shy!" Aoba said with a smile.
"F*ck you. You're only trying to fool others with these words, and you're still pretending to be shy. How can you be shy? You're the most thick-skinned person I've ever seen. You're even thicker than Konohagakure's protective wall!" Teuchi said snappily.
"Cough, cough, cough... Brother Teuchi, don't be like this. Give me some face." Aoba was a little embarrassed by this sudden praise.
"The poster is almost done. Let's hang it up." Teuchi did not continue the topic. Instead, his gaze fell on the poster.
"Okay."
Aoba immediately got up, held the poster, and walked towards the door of Ramen Ichiraku. Teuchi followed behind Aoba. The two of them stood at Ramen Ichiraku shop entrance. After some visual inspection, they placed the poster on the wall by the entrance.
While the two of them were putting up the poster, many passers-by who came and went stopped to watch and read the words on it.
"This is... a membership of Ramen Ichiraku!"
"There are only 100 free vouchers!"
"The sale will start at 10 am tomorrow, won't we have to queue up to buy them?"
"Oh my god, it's actually a way to save money. Sorry to disturb you. It has nothing to do with poor people like me."
"..."
Discussions immediately rang out in the crowd, causing the matter of Ramen Ichiraku's membership to become lively.
Initially, only a small number of people knew about this matter.
Now, it began to spread in a large area of the village.
Because it was a limited number method, first come first served. If one missed out on it, there was no way to get it again.
This pattern immediately attracted the anticipation of many people.
...
After Aoba and Teuchi posted the poster, they returned to Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House.
Before they could sit down, the door curtain was pulled open, and two people walked in. They were wearing green training uniforms, which immediately attracted Aoba's attention.
These two people...
They were Duy and Guy, who he had seen before in the training ground.
"Guy, you are going to enter the Ninja School tomorrow. Let's eat hot-blooded youth ramen!" Duy raised his left hand with a thumbs-up and grinned with gleaming white teeth.
"Yes!"
Guy straightened his body, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
"Boss, I want two bowls of ramen with youth and passion!" Duy suddenly jumped in front of Teuchi and made an exaggerated gesture.
"Okay."
Teuchi smiled. This was not the first time he had seen this father and son pair. He was already used to their behavior.
Then Teuchi began to prepare the ramen for the father and son. The ramen was made according to their requirements, which contained the aura of youth!
...
When the father and son pair walked in, Aoba's gaze had been fixed on the two of them, his eyes flashing with thoughts.
After a while, Teuchi brought two bowls of ramen in front of the father and son pair.
There were two eggs and a sausage added to each bowl of ramen. From a distance, one could smell the strong fragrance drifting in them.
"Guy, let's eat!" Duy looked at Guy excitedly and gave him another thumbs up.
"Yes!" Guy responded with a thumbs up.
After that, the two of them quickly started eating. It was as if someone wanted to snatch it from them.
Soon.
The noodles in their bowls were finished.
"Thank you for your hospitality!"
Duy got up to pay and bowed to Teuchi. Guy also did the same thing.
But, when the two of them were about to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Aoba suddenly spoke. He took a step forward and stopped Duy, his eyes flashing with wisdom.
As soon as he said this. Duy and Guy both stopped and looked at Aoba in confusion.
Not only the father and son pair, but even Teuchi stared at Aoba in confusion. He did not know what this kid was going to do.
"Do you know that Ramen Ichiraku will release a limited membership tomorrow?" Aoba asked.
After hearing this, the expression on Teuchi's face became satisfied.
Good!
Very good!
This kid already knows how to promote it!
I doted on him for nothing!
Teuchi had already begun to look forward to the situation of the membership sale tomorrow. It would definitely be sold out in an instant. There would be a flood of praises, and many people would be sad and lonely because they did not get it.
"I know. I saw it when I entered the door." Duy replied.
"Aren't you going to apply for a membership?" Aoba asked.
"No, I don't have money." Duy shook his head. He was just a Genin. The reward he earned from doing missions was limited. He couldn't keep the money in Ramen Ichiraku.
"If I tell you that you and your father are lucky customers chosen by us, Ramen Ichiraku, as long as you complete the designated event, you can get a membership card worth 10,000 Ryo for free and also give five free vouchers. Will you accept it?" Aoba showed a friendly smile on his face. He had waited for Ramen Ichiraku for a long time for this moment.
"Free?"
Duy widened his eyes. The temptation of this word was quite huge.
"That's right, both you and your son can use it to eat. There is 10,000 Ryo in it. After finishing it, you can choose if you want to renew it or not. I just heard you say that your son is going to the Ninja School. This membership card can make it much more convenient for you!" Aoba deepened the temptation again.
"What is the designated event you are talking about?" Duy asked vigilantly. He was not a child. He knew that there was no free lunch in the world, so he did not continue to be tempted by a free membership card. Instead, he asked about the activities.
"It's a very simple activity. As long as you take a picture with me touching your head, the lucky customer, you can get a limited membership card worth 10,000 Ryo!" Aoba's smile became more brilliant.
"Just take a picture?"
Duy faintly felt a problem, but he could not find a problem.
"Yes! In the future, whenever we, Ramen Ichiraku, open a limited membership card purchase. We will randomly select a lucky customer, take a photo of us touching their heads and hang it on the shop's wall as publicity for the shop. At the same time, we will give you a membership card in return." Aoba said seriously.
After listening to Aoba's words, Duy was stunned for a full three seconds.
Then Duy lowered his head and looked at his son, Guy.
The two of them looked at each other.
They could see the joy in each other's eyes.
"That's great!"
Duy and Guy jumped up at the same time, then Duy squatted down and made a palm gesture with Guy.
"Guy, do you feel the blessing of the goddess of luck? This is youth!" Duy said excitedly.
"Dad, I can feel that this world will not disappoint those who work hard. If I work harder, I will become even more fortunate!" Guy nodded firmly. Their expressions and actions were almost the same.
"If I heard it correctly, you have accepted this term lucky customer, right?" Aoba asked with a smile in his eyes.
"Of course I accept!" Duy puffed out his chest and said.
"Then let's take a photo!"
Aoba walked towards Duy and motioned for Teuchi to take out his camera to take a photo.
At this moment, Teuchi was dumbfounded.
He didn't know what was going on, but a membership card was sent out just like that.
Didn't we agree to prepare it for your Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain?
Why did it suddenly become a lucky customer?
Shouldn't you tell me about this in advance?
There were a lot of question marks in Teuchi's head, but he knew it was not the time to ask. He immediately took out a camera from behind the counter and aimed at Aoba and Duy.
"Now, I want to touch your head and make a gesture. You don't have to do anything. Just cooperate with me naturally!" Aoba said to Duy.
"Okay!" A smile appeared on Duy's face. His white teeth were shining, and he was ready to take photos.
Then Aoba raised his right hand and directly touched Duy's head. He acted as if he was taking pictures, followed Duy, and looked at the camera.
"Click!"
After Teuchi positioned the camera, it flashed and captured their photo.
