"Please wait!"
...
-Ten minutes later.
A bowl of fragrant meat pot noodles is ready, the Third Hokage happily eats.
Lin Ye also deliberately put two pieces of meat and two marinated eggs in it.
"This side smells so good."
Hiruzen sat at the dinner table and stroked his mustache.
Lin Ye: "Third Hokage, you must try quickly!"
"The old man is welcome."
"Hahahahaha!"
"Good good good!"
"This noodle is soft and chewy, very elastic, and the meat is even more tender and delicious. With bright red pepper, it can be called a delicacy of the world!"
Hiruzen was surprised and exclaimed.
The next second was puzzled, "Lin Ye, when did you learn to make noodles?"
You know, his parents have died since he was a kid, and he lives in the village, never leaving.
Lin Ye rolled her eyes and hurriedly explained, "Third Hokage, it's like this, some time ago, I suddenly had a dream at night and dreamed that I arrived at a place called Huaxia, full of all kinds of delicious food. That's where I learned .
I thought it was just a dream, but I didn't expect you to try to make pasta, and I actually did. "
"Is there such a thing?"
Hiruzen revealed a shocked look.
Lin Ye nodded vigorously, "Otherwise, how could I suddenly learn to make noodles?"
"Huaxia?"
"Even the old man never heard of that name. Looks like you're not lying."
Hiruzen secretly nodded.
He was thinking about letting the Anbu search in his memory, but after thinking about it, he let it go. If he turned Lin Ye into a fool, how would he explain to Lin Ye's dead parents.
...
Time passed and ten more minutes passed.
After eating, Hiruzen started asking, "Lin Ye, is there something wrong with Kushina lately?"
"Third Hokage can rest assured, she is very good, not as cold as before, we still talked yesterday!"
Hiruzen nodded slightly, "Okay, remember, if there is any abnormality, report it to the old man immediately."
"Subordinates take orders!"
Lin Ye nodded and bowed.
At this moment, Hiruzen suddenly asked again, "By the way, Lin Ye, I have something to do here, I want to ask you for help."
"Third Hokage, please tell me? As long as the subordinates can do this, they should give it their all."
Hiruzen lost his ink and said his thoughts, "That's it, tomorrow is Asuma's birthday, the old man can't think of what gift to give him for a while, what do you think?"
Lin Ye thought for a while, and after a while, he said.
"Um...Third Hokage, it's been cold lately, why don't you give him a hat? It will not only warm him up, but also let him feel your heart."
Hiruzen smiled, "It's a good idea, so it's decided."
When the words came out, he put on his Hokage hat and slowly left.
"Hello, Hokage-sama!"
"These vegetables are for you!"
Many villagers came to greet him outside the door.
"You are welcome."
Hiruzen replied with a smile.
...
After a while, Hiruzen came to a small shop that sold hats.
"Respected Hokage-sama, why are you here?"
The owner, a middle-aged man, took a hasty step to greet him.
Hiruzen made no bones about it and went straight to the point: "This old man wants to buy a hat."
"What color do you want, Hokage-sama?"
The shopkeeper pointed to the hats on the side, red, white, green, black... everything.
"Where the leaves fly, the fire is constantly alive, and the light of the fire will illuminate the village and make new trees sprout."
"Give the old man a green hat."
Hiruzen said firmly.
Green symbolized life, but it also meant growth. He hoped that Asuma could grow into a tall tree, to better protect the village.
"Okay, Third Hokage, take it, this is pure cotton, very warm."
The shopkeeper wrapped the hat and handed it over.
"bye!"
...
-In Lin Ye's shop
"Brother Lin Ye, I'll help you greet the guests."
Shortly after Sarutobi left, Kurenai Yuhi, a beautiful girl with black hair and red eyes, came.
Lin Ye smiled, "Sister Kurenai, you are a guest, how can I let you do these things?"
"Brother Lin Ye, it's okay, don't be polite to me."
Kurenai has a firm attitude, her pink face is stubborn.
Lin Ye was helpless, so he could only promise, "It's okay! The brother will make it up to you later by making delicious food."
"OK!"
...
After the guests had had enough to eat and drink, the two sat and talked together.
"Sister Kurenai, didn't you go on a mission?"
Lin Ye asked.
"It's been resolved, just kill some bad guys..."
Kurenai hesitated to speak, and the next second showed a worried expression, "Brother Lin Ye, I'm sorry, there might be blood on my body."
"It's okay, as a ninja, this is inevitable. As long as you can safely appear in front of me, my brother will be very pleased."
Lin Ye reached out, placed her hand in her delicate hair, and stroked it gently.
Yuri's tender pink face turned slightly red, "Brother Lin Ye, thank you."
"Okay, sit here and rest first, and I'll make you some egg fried rice."
"OK!"
...
In ten minutes, a bowl of steamed egg fried rice is ready.
"Good smell!"
Kurenai showed joy.
"Hurry up and eat!"
"Tsk tsk~"
"Well... it tastes good, people like it a lot."
Kurenai smiled happily.
After eating, she suddenly said, "By the way, Brother Lin Ye, Asuma just told me that I would be a guest at your house tomorrow, I'm a little worried."
"Sister Kurenai, what are you worried about?"
"I… fear he's up to something wrong."
Kurenai whispered in a low voice, although he knew Asuma's character, it would always be awkward to let her go to a man's house as a girl.
Lin Ye consoled, "Sister Kurenai, if I guess correctly, this must be Asuma's birthday, and he wants to invite you to participate."
"What? Is tomorrow his birthday?"
Kurenai was stunned, she had forgotten such an important thing.
You know, Asuma gave him his birthday every year and gave him many gifts.
Lin Ye nodded, "The Third Hokage came here just now, and he said so himself."
"Yes! Tomorrow is October 18th, not his birthday!"
"Brother Lin Ye, what do you think we should do now? I still haven't prepared a gift for him!"
Yuhi's pink face was wrinkled and anxious.
"There's still time brother and you think about it together."
"turn on!"
"It's good to have you!"
Kurenai Yuhi breathed a sigh of relief.
...
cFive minutes later.
"Brother Lin Ye, do you want to give him a hat?"
Yuhi's red eyes blinked, revealing a look of anticipation.
Lin Ye shook his head, "Third Hokage gave them hats. If you give them again, won't you repeat them?"
"Asuma likes cigarettes, so should I give him a pack of cigarettes?"
"Bang Bang~"
"Oh, brother Lin Ye, you... why are you punching people in the forehead?"
Kurenai's delicate little hands covered her forehead, and the corners of her eyes were a little pink.
"Sister Kurenai, smoking is bad for your health, don't you know?"
"Humph! So what gift should I give him?"
The girl pouted her tiny mouth, showing a cute expression and snorted coldly.
Lin Ye scratched his head and said slowly, "Winter is coming, why don't you give him a pair of gloves?"
"Yes, the gloves are warm and durable for sure."
"Brother Lin Ye, thank you, I will prepare gifts first."
Kurenai smiled sweetly and quickly left the store.
...
After a while, she came to a small store that sold gloves.
"Boss, I want a pair of gloves, preferably cotton."
"Guest, what color do you want?"
The owner asked politely.
Kurenai was thinking, and after a while, she made a choice.
"Um...green!"
Green is not only eco-friendly, but more importantly, it conforms to the image of the village of Konoha.
It symbolizes that life is infinite and without end.
"Wrap me up!"
"Okay, take the guest."
