As time goes by, crayfish is getting more and more popular in Konoha!
Affordable prices, spicy flavors, and is a good addition for sake. With the spread of mouth to mouth words, more and more people flood into Gekkō Tavern from all parts of the village.
Especially at lunch and dinner, there are even queues, just to taste the legendary spicy crayfish!
And this kind of food can be used not only as a dinner, but also as a late-night snack. Gekkō Tavern used to close at 9 o'clock, and when it started selling crayfish, it closed at 10 o'clock, and then it was delayed until 10:30, 12:00, and now at 1 o'clock in the middle of the night. The closing time is getting later and later!
But none of the boss, chefs, and waiters of Gekkō Tavern complained, because they were all Gekkō Clan's clansmen. The better the business, the more money they make, the better the life of clansman, so although Tired, but no one complained.
Inoue discussed this matter with Matsushita and they decided to increase the wages of the people in the tavern first.
At the same time, with the popularity of crayfish, the owners of dozens of other taverns in the village couldn't sit still, so they went to the Gekkō Tavern to find out.
After they confirmed the deliciousness of the crayfish, they immediately decided to introduce the crayfish into their taverns!
Therefore, began to inquire about the purchase channels of crayfish, and as a result, they found that the crayfish were directly bred by the Gekkō Clan, and there was no purchase channel!
What should they do then?
They can only buy it at Gekkō Clan. And it doesn't matter if the price is higher, after all, as long as they buy a batch of live ones, they can breed them on their own.
It's just that the reality is too cruel. The two old men, Inoue and Matsushita didn't give them a face at all, and just told them to go away.
As a result, the bosses of those taverns were angry!
Retaliation? Sabotaging? Boycotting?
What a joke, even if Gekkō Clan is not a big clan, it is still a Shinobi clan, and has always been a staunch support of the Hokage's lineage, and also backed by the Sandaime Hokage. Moreover, the Clan Leader of Gekkō Clan is bringing their clansmen to fight on the frontline during the war. If they have to dare to attack at this time, Sandaime Hokage will take them into the prison with the charge of being a spy to mine on the charge of destroying the unity of the village. At that time, they would lose everything.
Without any other way, they can only inquire about the crayfish from various sources and try to put aside Gekkō Clan and go to breed the crayfish by themselves.
However, how can the information about crayfish be so easy to inquire about?
In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.
In mid-February, there is only less than half a month left before the end of the semester.
In the Academy.
In the afternoon's actual combat training, Kanpū and Yui still received special training from Yu.
"Kanpū, crayfish are crawfish, right?"
When Yu went to guide the other bronzes in the class, Yui took the initiative to speak to Kanpū for the first time.
Kanpū was stunned for a moment before replying: "Yes, crayfish is crawfish. I changed the name for convenience."
Speaking of this, Kanpū wanted to laugh. Although the name change is simply because he is used to the name of crayfish from his previous life, he accidentally caused huge troubles to the dozens of taverns' owners!
They foolishly took the name of the crayfish and inquired everywhere. How could they find useful information?
It's like using Iguchi's name to find Kawaguchi, isn't it a joke?
Of course, some of the smart taverns' owners are looking for crayfish with its portrait, but even so, it is not that simple.
After all, crawfish live in Land of Rivers, and Kanpū also only find it through Yui… 'Eh?'
Kanpū seemed to have thought of something, looked at Yui in surprise, and asked: "Yui, did those owners go to find you?"
'With Yui's temperament and way of life, her contacts are unlikely to extend to the owners of the taverns, right?'
"No."
Sure enough, Yui shook her head and said, "It's my uncle. He came back from his mission last night, and when he heard his friends say that the crayfish was delicious, he went with them to eat."
'What should come will come.'
Kanpū sighed helplessly. Although in this world, he was the one who 'mined' the value of crayfish, it is undeniable that if there is no Yui's uncle, his crayfish would not have been available so quickly.
"Yui, what did your uncle think? Does he plan to breed crayfish?" Kanpū asked.
Yui said indifferently: "My uncle is only interested in insects."
Kanpū breathed a sigh of relief: 'This is in line with Aburame Clan's temperament!'
"Yui, your uncle must be a very outstanding Shinobi!"
Kanpū felt that he had to compliment others at the right time, so as not to be told that he was not easy to get along with, then he said, "Is it convenient to reveal your uncle's surname so that I can worship him?"
'Are you an idiot?'
Yui looked Kanpū expressionlessly.
Kanpū nodded solemnly: 'I have guessed your uncle's honorable name from your expression!'
After school, Yui left without anyone knowing as usual, and Kanpū waited in place. After a while, Iruka, Anko, Tsukasa, Kotetsu, and Izumo come over.
"Kanpū, we were so miserably trained by Yu-sensei!"
"I suddenly want to eat crayfish!"
"Speaking of crayfish, Kanpū, when will your tavern produce red bean crayfish? Spicy taste has no soul at all!" Anko made a conclusive suggestion.
However… 'What the hell is that red bean crayfish?'
Kanpū didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and said: "If you have time now, then I will take you to eat directly."
For these little friends, Kanpū naturally won't forget their kindness.
"Kanpū, call Shisui too." Tsukasa held her little puppy and squeezed to Kanpū's side.
"Wu wu ~" Shiramaru, the loyal dog, immediately stretched out its tongue to lick Kanpū's hand.
Kanpū slapped Shiramaru's dog head, hating iron for not becoming steel: "Being a licking dog will not end well."
"Don't bully Shiramaru!" Inuzuka stomped his feet.
Kanpū shook his head and sighed: 'This girl is helpless.'
After the entire group waited at the Academy's gate for a while, Shisui and Hayate came out. After gathering, the entire group went directly to the Gekkō Tavern.
After the crayfish became famous, Kanpū often took Hayate to the tavern to eat overlord's meals. Of course, Kanpū still has a conscience. In order not to affect the tavern's business, he always chooses to go when there are few people in there.
When he arrived at the Gekkō Tavern, it was only early four o'clock. It was not dinner time yet, but the desks in the tavern were already almost full of people. The popularity of the crayfish was evident.
Kanpū took Iruka, Anko, Shisui and the others to go in, and then put together two small square tables to make a seat for eight people. After that, Kanpū asked the waiter to serve five pounds of spicy crayfish first.
Needless to say, the taste of crayfish is naturally mouth-watering because of the fragrance alone. Therefore, as soon as the crayfish comes up, everyone can't wait and immediately eat it.
It's just that Kanpū noticed that Shisui sitting next to him didn't seem to be very interested, and kept his head down, thinking about things.
"Shisui, what's wrong?" Kanpū asked.
Shisui looked up at him and hesitated: "I don't know if I should tell you."
An ominous premonition suddenly flashed in Kanpū's heart, and he squinted to look at Shisui: 'Does this guy want to trick me?'
Kanpū's desire to survive begins to explode!
"Then don't say it."
Kanpū said decisively.
"Since you said that... then I will tell you." Shisui said.
