Previously, Yuyue Store launched a milk tea product which was also very popular, but it was just a drink after all.
His competitors are various tea drinks and alcoholic beverages.
So I don’t take the dim sum shops too seriously… Although I do envy the traffic, they are the professionals when it comes to making dim sum!
I'm not afraid at all.
That's what people thought until this summer.
Yuyue Store started out as a grocery store, what could it know about snacks?
Which of the successful dim sum restaurants today wasn’t founded more than ten or twenty years ago?
Even if I make some milk tea or fruit tea, it’s just a small thing and I’m not on the same starting line with them.
However, once the new store opened by Yuyue Store specializing in selling ice products was launched on the market, it immediately triggered a sales boom at an astonishing speed.
At first it was just an ice sculpture placed at the door.
Walking in the hot summer, the sudden influx of cold air will certainly attract people's attention.
So the two large ice sculptures standing between the milk tea shop and the shop next to the milk tea shop naturally attracted people's attention.
"What's this?"
"Is it ice?"
The two people who were attracted by the cold air naturally moved over.
Then I noticed the newly opened store next to the milk tea shop.
"Ice...Ice Escape?"
That’s right, the ice-themed ice food restaurant was bluntly and rudely named "Ice Escape" by Yu Yue.
The menu is naturally very consistent with the name, almost all of which are products with "ice".
From the simplest ice milk to ice cake, shaved ice and ice cream.
Although people have never eaten it, just by looking at the word "ice" and the beautiful illustrations next to the menu, they know that it must be a very delicious and cold food.
Who doesn't want to cool down on a hot day?
When it gets hot enough, people will even take off their clothes and jump directly into the river. Naturally, they have the courage to try something new.
So, tempted by the cool air brought by the ice sculptures, the two walked into the store.
As soon as you enter the store, the cool air instantly dispels the summer heat.
“It’s so cool!”
People then discovered that this shop called "Ice Escape" actually had many ice sculptures.
The wind from somewhere brought the cool air from the ice sculptures, making this shop look like the outside.
Completely different temperature.
The two people who came in first looked at each other.
Even for the temperature, they had to sit down and eat this meal!
"Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you? Today is the opening of our new store, and we are offering a 40% discount on everything."
40% off! ?
People were first surprised by the discount and then noticed the clerk who was talking to them.
——She was a gentle beauty with black hair and black eyes.
Different from the bright and beautiful women often seen in the ninja village, the woman standing here has a gentle and intellectual temperament.
The pair of dark eyes were also very gentle and moist. Being stared at intently by such eyes, the two of them became flustered on the spot.
"I want all of that!"
The young man standing in front blurted out without paying attention.
"All...?"
The female clerk looked at the two men in surprise.
"No...that's right, we want both!"
His companion wanted to stop him, but when he noticed the woman's surprised look, he couldn't say "No, we only want the same".
I can't bring myself to do this.
How could I say "I don't want it" in front of such a beautiful female clerk?
“But we have many flavors.”
"For example, there are three kinds of ice cream: vanilla, matcha, and strawberry."
“There are three kinds of shaved ice, too.”
"And others..."
"It doesn't matter, just one of each flavor, we can eat them all!"
Ninja! How can I let others worry about me?
"Okay, but please let me know if you can't eat anymore."
Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, the woman did not force it anymore. She just confirmed it again and again and then placed the order for them.
Then she said hello to her colleague behind her and prepared to change shifts.
"Itachi, I'll leave this to you."
"Okay, Ms. Yukino."
A half-grown boy walked out from behind.
The two young men were stunned for a moment.
U-Uchiha?
Although I know that several Uchiha children have come out to work part-time in the Ugetsu store in recent years.
But the sudden sight of an Uchiha boy still made the two of them stunned.
I always feel that 'Uchiha' and 'cold sweets'... can't be connected together.
After all, that
An 'Uchiha with the Sharingan'?
"Please take your seats. Your orders will be delivered directly to your table once they are ready."
During the holidays, Uchiha Itachi came to work at the Ugetsu Store again.
Just as the cold drink shop was open, Ugetsu sent him to partner with Yukino.
Although Uchiha Itachi is young, he is very calm and familiar with various tasks. It is the perfect match for Yukino, who is working as a store manager for the first time.
Yukino went to the operating table at the back and started her own actions.
The ice storage in the back was already filled with ice cubes she had made earlier.
Now all you have to do is shape the ice into the shape you want.
"Water Style Secret Technique: Ice Blowing Snow!"
This was originally a move used to create an 'ice fog' to confuse the enemy.
The weakened version that Yukino used at this time was just right for making a large amount of fine crushed ice.
The broken ice that fell into the large basin piled up into a mountain.
Yukino took the basin of ice and made shaved ice.
On the operating table, various fruit juice syrups are prepared.
All Yukino has to do is put crushed ice in a bowl, pour syrup or juice on it, and finally put the cut fruit on top.
As for ice cream, it's even simpler.
Just scoop it directly from the ice cream bucket in the ice cave.
After preparing the dishes one by one, Yukino took a deep breath and served them out while suppressing her excitement.
This was the first time she sold something she made.
Although it has been tested many times inside the Ugetsu store during the research period, some of it was also given to the Hokage and others for tasting.
But this is the first time I’m selling it for money.
Yukino was very nervous.
The feedback from the customers is the "answer sheet" to her efforts over the past two years.
With the help of so many people and the favor of Lord Ugetsuki, she certainly hoped for a perfect score.
Seeing the cold tray being brought in, the two of them no longer thought about anything else, but stared intently at the crystal clear dessert on the plate.
It's called... shaved ice?
There is food that tastes cool.
But I have never seen anything as crystal clear as this...
"Please enjoy your meal."
Following Yukino's words, the two of them simultaneously touched the shaved ice in front of them.
“It’s so cold!”
The first thing I felt was the cold.
The cold breath went down my throat and into my stomach.
Then comes the sweetness.
The sweetness of the fruit pulp combined with the cool and crisp taste is simply refreshing.
This is what summer food should be!
It would have been a huge loss if I hadn’t done that in the past twenty years!
The two of them immediately started eating happily.
"This is warm water. If you feel it's too cold, you can drink some warm water."
Afraid that the two would eat too much, Yukino still added two cups of warm water.
At the same time, a bright smile appeared on her face.
——The enthusiasm of these two guests was the best answer to her.
Her efforts were not in vain.
Her bloodline limit is just as Ugetsu-sama said , it is not a bad thing that only brings destruction and killing.
Instead, it is a 'good bloodline limit' that can bring comfort and happiness to people.
Although she has a bloodline limit, Yukino is not a very talented ninja.
It took her a long time to finally master the use of the bloodline limit, let alone modify the bloodline limit to meet the requirements of Lord Ugetsu.
This is also the reason why we opened the store only now.
It is not so easy to make ice that meets the needs and is stable... Fortunately, she did it.
"Hello, is this the place that sells ice cream?"
More and more people came in one after another, attracted by the coolness.
"Yes, please order here."
Yukino walked back to the front desk with brisk steps.
As time went by, more and more people came to the store.
When it was the hottest, there was even a long line in front of the store.
Seeing this, Yukino and Uchiha Itachi simply took a few more ice sculptures and placed them at the door for people to cool off.
The ice sculpture reinforced by Ice Escape is extremely strong and will not melt into water even at such a temperature.
It's perfect for attracting attention and cooling down.
As a result of the existence of this 'source of cold air', the queue at the door not only did not decrease, but instead continued to increase.
Why not go anywhere on a hot day?
It’s better to stay here, eat new food and enjoy the air conditioning.
It’s so cool standing next to the ice sculpture.
The two people who were busy in the cool shop even sweated from working so hard.
"Mom, I'm here to help!
”
Later, Bai, who had finished studying, came to help.
Although he was still young, unlike his mother, he was a very talented child.
At this age, he was already proficient in using Ice Release to produce the effect that Ugetsu required. It was just that he still had a lot of study to do, so he only came to the store to help out after finishing his studies every day.
Although he is young, like Uchiha Itachi, Bai is not stage-frightened. When he sees guests looking at him, he curls up the corners of his mouth and gives the guests a polite smile.
The handsome boy, who looked like a snow-white doll, was a delight to the eyes just by looking at him, not to mention that he was smiling at her.
The guests who looked at Bai felt the heat subside a little at once.
"Wash your hands thoroughly before you start again."
After greeting her son, Yukino looked up at the endless queue of people at the door. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead while passing by others, then smiled.
Lord Ugetsu is right, the sign of 'Ice Escape' will not only bring people disgust.
——In fact, the original name of the store was not this, but seeing that Yukino and Shiro still felt inferior because they had bloodline limits, Ugetsu simply denied all previous plans.
"It's called 'Ice Escape'!"
Compared to the past, Yu Yue, whose complexion and height have improved a lot, said firmly.
How is this possible?
Useful bloodline limits are treasures.
Even if you don't have confidence in yourself, you have to believe in her as your boss.
Ugetsu even planned to create a 'Bloodline Limit' series if he could collect enough useful Bloodline Limits.
However, these bloodline limits are high-end choices in people’s daily lives!
However, it is possible that various machines and electrical appliances will replace human labor in the future.
But in modern society, "handmade" has not completely disappeared.
And for some projects, manual work is super expensive.
For example, the Italian handmade leather boots that her colleagues loved before.
The prices are more exciting than each other.
As long as word of mouth spreads, she can turn these bloodline limits into "time-honored handmade fine products."
The 'Ice Escape' of Yukino and her son is a good start.
Having a signature project will make it much easier to discuss cooperation with other bloodline limits in the future.
But the name was almost immediately met with opposition.
The most staunch opponents were none other than Yukino and Shiraha, mother and son.
They had suffered enough from the bloodline limit - if it weren't for Lord Ugetsu, the two of them wouldn't be standing here at all.
Naturally, I don't want this to affect Lord Ugetsu's business.
"Our bloodline limit is not something... worth talking about. If you use such a name, Ugetsu-sama, you will only be rejected."
Xue Nai persuaded earnestly.
However, Yu Yue was persistent.
This is another big industry of hers, how could she give it up?
"I think this is the best name." She looked at Yukino and Shiro. The two, one big and one small, with similar beauty, were still looking at her nervously. "Your bloodline limit is very useful - it's like a godsend to me."
As she spoke, she rubbed the white head that was looking at her nervously along with her mother.
Unlike when he just came back and looked like a stray cat, Bai is now a well-behaved, handsome young man.
Even though he ate and drank more than before, his ninja training not only did not lead to horizontal development, but he instead had a very well-balanced body shape.
Coupled with her androgynous beautiful face and cute smile.
It's obviously a potential stock at first glance.
"The facts will prove it."
To be honest, she felt a sense of accomplishment when she saw kids like Pharmacist Dou and Bai eating their meals in a smooth and greasy manner.
It's like closing a big deal.
——Even Yu Yue began to think seriously, maybe his talent actually lies in feeding?
Look, how well these children are being fed by themselves.
"Are you worried about the ice cream shop?"
A much more mature voice sounded.
Yu Yue looked in the direction of the voice and saw her 'Grand Cultivation of Feeding Achievements', the child's appearance was almost unrecognizable compared to when she first met him.
After his body started to grow taller like a string, Uchiha Shisui began to grow rapidly.
Only his round eyes and nose still had some boyish childishness, and it could be seen that the person in front of him was just a boy who had grown up a lot.
"That's not..."
Yu Yue thought about it and felt that she should share her great discovery with her closest assistant.
“I just feel like I’m actually very well fed.
"
Big and small, every one of the store employees is in good health.
Isn’t this a reflection of my talent?
The smile on Uchiha Shisui's face paused for a second: "..."
Obviously he was thinking about the barbecue that was a bit mushy and raw in the past.
And the steak at the back was so overcooked that it was completely hard to chew.
"Why don't I come to dinner tonight?"
Yu Yue said this and seemed eager to try.
If she, as a leader, could prepare a big meal to reward her hard-working employees, that would probably be a big boost to their morale.
Although she really has no experience.
When it comes to cooking, isn't it enough to just remember the general idea in your mind?
Wash and cut the vegetables, fry them in a pan and add seasoning.
Uchiha Shisui held down her eager hand.
"Ms. Yu Yue is someone who wants to do great things. How can she focus her energy on such trivial matters?"
"This is not a small matter. Eating is..."
"But if Miss Yu Yue does this, what should the current chefs do?"
Uchiha Shisui skillfully changed direction and continued to persuade.
"The chef makes his living from this. If Miss Yu Yue steals his job, how can the chef feel at ease getting his salary?"
——That makes sense.
Yu Yue withdrew her hand that was about to move.
Indeed, if I cook better than the chef, where will the chef's face be?
Besides, even if everyone likes the food, I can’t always cook for them.
I don't have the time or the energy.
It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea, but after Uchiha Shisui said that, Yu Yue let it go on the spot.
Let’s discuss this later.
Seeing Ugetsu giving up the idea in an instant, Uchiha Shisui breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, in his opinion, these small deviations that appeared on Miss Ugetsu were not shortcomings at all, but were cute...
However, considering other people's stomachs, it is better not to actually take action.
Today, Uchiha Shisui is also on the front line of firefighting.
"…Forget it, is there anything else?"
"Regarding the animation of 'Young Heroes', Kabuto and Ms. Yakushi Nono said that they have almost finished discussing it."
"Okay, finally!"
Finally the TV comes in handy!
When the rainy month comes, there will be television in this world.
But I don’t know if it’s because of the war or the lack of signal in each country, but the utilization rate very low.
There are very few programs, sometimes there are none.
So most people don't stay at home to watch TV.
Instead, I go to the cinema from time to time.
——Although there aren't many movies in this world, they are better than the intermittent TV.
Movies that allow you to watch a complete story in one go are more popular.
Even Yu Yue himself is making preparations for both scenarios.
If she fails to negotiate a TV animation project, she will go straight to making an animated film.
In short, be prepared for both situations.
After so many years of fermentation.
Heroic and passionate works have taken root in this world.
In addition to "Young Heroes", other people have also tried to produce many follow-up works.
There are also some fine products inside.
But when it comes to classics and masterpieces, it is undoubtedly "Young Heroes".
Because of its wonderful story and the various unexpected events during sales, its various stories are still talked about today.
The story and reality are linked together, there is nothing more exciting than this!
——Of course, there is another reason that truly pushed him to the level of a "masterpiece".
That is...
"How are the preparations for this year's peripherals going?"
"I have already notified Miss Xiaonan."
Uchiha Shisui responded immediately.
"In addition to the traditional peripherals, according to Ms. Ugetsu's instructions, this year's peripherals have newly added limited-edition stands and badges from various countries."
"What about the making of the calendar?"
Ugetsu thought of a new project for this year.
Items such as colored paper stand badges that have more practical value than collectibles.
Calendars are products that are placed on the table and seen every day, and the peripherals that can deepen the user's impression are of course better.
It’s a pity that apart from the hero eggs and dream packs, there is no other good direction for collaboration that can go beyond the circle.
Otherwise, Yu Yue would definitely choose to link up on the spot...
Alas, why can't the businessmen in this world be a little more powerful?
"Miss Xiaonan said she was thinking of a solution."
Although most of the calendar is made of paper, there are also parts that are not entirely made of paper.
.
These require some extra thought.
"Well, tell Xiaonan to talk to us if she needs anything."
"If it doesn't work, I'll ask Grandma Chiyo to think of a solution."
In fact, when it comes to technology, Yu Yue trusts Scorpion more.
It's just that he was working on his own projects during this time, and Ugetsu had previously promised that if he had work of his own (ninja), she would make time for it.
So it’s not a good idea to ask for help just for such a small matter now.
In comparison, Granny Chiyo, who was only responsible for the multi-functional baby stroller (second generation), sunscreen, and working with Tsunade to develop subsequent whitening products, was much easier to talk to.
However, after hearing her words, Uchiha Shisui paused subtly instead of agreeing immediately as before.
"What's wrong?"
Having partnered with Uchiha Shisui for so many years, Ugetsu was certainly able to notice this peculiarity.
"As for Chiyo-sama...it may not be very convenient recently."
?
There was a question mark on Yu Yue's head.
"Ms. Yu Yue, have you forgotten that the whitening mask was released three days ago?"
Uchiha Shisui reminded.
“…Ah, that’s what happened.”
Yu Yue reacted.
But what does the release date have to do with Chiyo?
This isn’t the first time they’ve sold beauty products.
Besides, isn't it Tsunade and Shizune who are in charge?
After making sure to give Ugetsu a cow’s job…as an employee, Tsunade took Shizune back as well.
Of course, eating, drinking and having fun in the dormitory is more conducive to children's growth than wandering around all the time.
Especially since there is a full set of products from the Yuyue store here, Jingyin no longer has to queue outside, which is great.
However, Tsunade also knew that Ugetsu was the boss and would not keep idle people, so she consciously took Shizune with her to be responsible for the development of her own beauty products.
Shizune is the medical ninja she personally trained. Although her strength cannot be considered top-notch, her basic skills are quite solid.
It is enough to be used as a R&D assistant.
All along, the two of them, together with Chiyo, Nono Yakushi, and Orochimaru who occasionally gets involved, have always been quite stable in the direction of product research and development.
Whether it was the previous anti-wrinkle product or the current whitening product, the reports she received were very stable... What could go wrong?
"In fact..."
Before Uchiha Shisui could finish his words.
The door of Yu Yue's office was roughly pushed open from the outside.
The two of them shifted their gazes at the same time, and saw the person they were discussing just now striding in with rough clothes.
"Ms. Tsunade?"
Ugetsu stood up.
"how……"
"people!"
Tsunade slammed her hands on Ugetsu's desk, and because she couldn't control herself for a moment, she even smashed a crack on the table.
Ugetsu: ...
Uchiha Shisui: ...
But Tsunade didn't care - she had smashed the old man's desk many times when she rushed into the Hokage's office.
That's not a problem.
The key is!
"People! Give me people!"
She shouted like a gambler with red eyes.
"Manpower! Lots of manpower! The more the better!"!
