Chapter 262 1 Le Ramen
Chapter 262 1 Le Ramen
The rustling sounds of footsteps came one after another, and everyone looked tense. Even with the end of the war, there was still no sign of relaxation on their faces.
They all knew that the time to taste the fruits of victory had not yet come and they still needed to take the matters at hand seriously.
You cannot be careless at all, because you don't know if your negligence will lead to the failure of all your efforts, and no one dares to take the risk.
As the meeting came to an end, several orders were issued.
On the surface, Konoha was celebrating the victory of the war, but secretly it remained on edge and maintained a high level of concentration.
After everyone left, Hoshino Kaede came to Sakumo, patted him on the shoulder, and joked: "You have been the Hokage for several years, why are you so nervous and let me host it."
Shuo Mao shook his head, showing a cautious expression, and said: "The meeting also has priorities. It will save a lot of trouble if you come."
"Besides, with my qualifications, some people can't be suppressed."
Sakumo's words made Xingye Feng think for a moment, and he slowly said, "Are you referring to some people with more seniority?"
Although Konoha is now becoming younger and the atmosphere is becoming more open, some of the previous taboos have also disappeared.
But after a long period of time, there are still some elderly people left, all of whom are left over from the second generation’s rule.
In the meeting just now, there were some senior jonin who were from the second generation.
In terms of age and seniority, they might not agree with Shuomao's words and not take them to heart.
Shuo Mao scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I don't doubt them, I just don't want any problems to arise."
Hearing this, Hoshino Kaede looked at Sakumo calmly. The latter just felt creepy as if he was being looked at, and felt uncomfortable all over.
Hoshino Kaede sighed and said, "Sakumo, your eyes can't hide anything from me."
"You're treating me like this? Have you forgotten that I was the one who brought you up when you were a child?"
"I know exactly what you're thinking."
After saying that, Xingye Feng looked at him with a smile.
Sakumo's face flushed immediately, and the man who was almost entering middle age seemed to have returned to his childhood.
Xingye Feng looked at him with amusement, and then talked about business again: "You looked quite embarrassed just now. What's wrong? Are you feeling upset or annoyed?"
Hearing Xingye Feng's question, Shumao immediately smiled bitterly and said, "That's not the case. I just like to give suggestions and come here almost every day."
"If I had said that just now, I probably wouldn't have been able to even step out of this door for a while."
"I see." Xingye Feng was happy, showing a regretful expression, and spread his hands: "There's nothing I can do about this matter."
"I can't go to them about this. I was busy when I was young, but now I'm old and I feel idle and restless. I can't calm down."
Shuomao knew there was no way around it, so he just complained.
Seeing Sakumo's extremely depressed expression, Xingye Feng "kindly" reminded him: "Don't worry about it, you won't have time to worry about it next."
As he said this, he had a smirking look on his face, and Sakumo immediately had a bad feeling that something bad was about to happen.
"I helped you calm the situation down, and the rest is up to you."
Sakumo seemed to have not recovered from this huge "surprise" yet. He stood there in a daze until Hoshino Kaede patted his shoulder and walked out, then he turned around.
Then he wailed, "Now, even the whole night may not be enough to keep me busy."
When Hoshino Feng came out and heard Sakumo's screams, he immediately chuckled with an expression as if he was gloating.
"Young people should exercise more. I'm rooting for you, Sakumo."
Full of the idea that happiness is built on the suffering of others, Feng Xingye walked happily in the village, accepting the greetings from the villagers along the way and responding with a smile.
Under normal circumstances, he might just nod his head and not have such a big reaction.
Coo coo~~~
The sound of hunger suddenly rang out. Feng Xingye lowered his head and touched his stomach, feeling the strong protest and dissatisfaction from his stomach.
"I've been in meetings all morning and my stomach is already empty. Let's go eat something."
Feng Xingye looked around, and after a few glances, his eyes fixed on a "familiar" store. After a little consideration, his eyes flashed slightly, the corners of his mouth curled, and he went straight in.
"Hey, Yile, your shop is so popular. Your skills have improved a lot."
Hoshino Kaede greeted Ichiraku in a familiar manner, and then sat on the stool.
That’s right, the one that Hoshino Kaede was talking about was the “Uncle” Ichiraku who was nicknamed “Otsutsuki Ichiraku.”
Of course, if calculated according to normal age, he should be in his prime now.
It was after the second generation came to power that he followed his "father" to Konoha, and has been there ever since.
He was an apprentice ten years ago, and after completing his apprenticeship, he opened his own shop. Xingye Feng is also a frequent customer here.
"It's the Third Generation Lord. You haven't been here for a while." Shouda Yile was as enthusiastic as ever. When he saw Xingye Feng, he immediately came over to entertain him.
Hearing what the hand typed, Xingye Feng also smiled and said, "As you know, a lot of things have happened recently, so I rarely come here."
Ichiraku said sympathetically: "You work so hard for Konoha. I understand. Your work is important. I should be the one thanking you for bringing a peaceful environment to Konoha."
"That was in the past. I'm retired now." Feng Xingye smiled. As he spoke, his stomach protested again and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Yile immediately changed the subject and said, "What would you like to order?"
Hoshino Feng hesitated for a moment among the many types of ramen, and then decided, "Then give me a bowl of tonkotsu miso ramen to try something new."
"Okay, wait a moment." After learning about the types of ramen, Ichiraku began to show off his skills in the kitchen.
After a while, the aroma of ramen wafted over from the kitchen, and Ichiraku brought the ramen and placed it in front of Hoshino Kaede.
"Use it slowly."
"As expected of Ichiraku, his cooking skills are still so good." Hoshino Kaede exclaimed, then looked at the steaming ramen and began to devour it.
Unlike other ramen restaurants that mix ingredients randomly, Ichiraku has very detailed control over this aspect.
It neither makes people feel abrupt, nor does it control the umami taste just right.
As soon as you slurp it up, the noodles are chewy and springy, and the thick soup is so delicious that you can't stop eating it.
Hoshino Feng wolfed down a bowl of ramen quickly. After finishing the bowl, he felt satisfied both mentally and physically.
"Delicious. Every time I come here, you can make it feel different from the last time. It's really commendable."
Hoshino Feng patted his belly in satisfaction, gave Yile a thumbs up, and praised him generously.
"I'm deeply honored to receive your praise." Yile said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
After he finished speaking, he paused, raised his head, and his expression and temperament suddenly changed. He didn't look like a cook at all.
"But Yile wants to know, your coming here today won't be so simple."
