Chapter 7 Even Good Products Need Marketing
After school, Taiichi couldn't wait to go to the place where the experimental chickens and fish were kept.
First, we compared the two chickens and found that the wounds of both chickens had improved significantly. The wound of the chicken that had been given garlic extract was no longer red and swollen, which meant that the inflammation had obviously subsided.
Let's look at the situation of the three fish. Similarly, they have all shown significant improvement, and depending on the concentration of allicin, the wound with the higher concentration of allicin has already shown signs of healing.
"My goodness, is allicin really that effective? Or is allicin from the ninja world just that amazing?!" Taiichi exclaimed to himself, but no matter what, his money-making plan was finally in place.
After being happy for a while, Taiyi picked up yesterday's tools again and fiddled with the fresh garlic he had just bought today, making a small bottle of garlic oil in a while.
Looking at the garlic oil in his hand, he seemed to see countless banknotes beckoning to him. But then he thought it wasn't safe; if he just handed it over like that, wouldn't the person who received it know what it was just by smelling it?
Thinking it over, Taiyi rummaged through the house again and found some bottles and jars of harmless but pungent-smelling substances. He poured them into the bottle, shook it well, and then opened it to smell it.
Well, the taste is a mix of all sorts of strange and unusual flavors. If you ask me what I can tell from it, I really can't tell at all.
That's good. I don't have to go to the ninja academy tomorrow, so I can go to the orphanage to talk to Nonou about how to make money.
Regular exercise is essential from now on.
……
The next day, after his usual morning exercise, Taiichi went home, grabbed the bottle of garlic extract, and headed to the orphanage.
Upon arriving at the orphanage, they found that Nono had taken several older children out to buy supplies. Taichi then called on the younger children still in the orphanage to tell them stories together.
……
The morning light spilled into the orphanage's courtyard. Taiyi sat cross-legged by an old tree, surrounded by a dozen children with bright, sparkling eyes.
"Sun Wukong can travel 108,000 li in one somersault!" Taiyi gestured with his hand, and the children gasped in surprise.
"So he runs faster than a ninja?" Yami, the little girl with pigtails, couldn't help but ask.
"He's so fast! He can even pluck a hair and turn it into a bunch of monkeys!" Taiyi laughed, imitating Sun Wukong scratching his ears and cheeks, making the children giggle.
"But... when the monster eats children, is he able to save them in time?" The youngest, Jiang Tai, asked in a low voice, clutching the hem of his clothes.
"Of course!" Taiyi ruffled his hair, then slammed his golden cudgel down with a "thud," and the monster collapsed. He suddenly stood up, mimicking a sweeping motion, and the children gasped and leaned back, bombarding him with questions: "What happened next?" "Would Tang Sanzang scold him?"
The morning breeze rustled through the leaves, and Taiyi's voice mingled with the children's laughter, startling the birds that were dozing under the eaves.
……
The sound of the gate opening to the courtyard rang out. Tai looked up and saw Nono leading several children, carrying large and small bags of things into the courtyard.
"Alright, go play now, we'll continue next time we have time," Taiyi said, waving the children away amidst their reluctant calls, before getting up and walking towards the door.
"Nonou-neechan, why did you buy so many things!" she said, taking the bag from Nonou's hand.
"Taiichi, you're here so early." Nonou smiled. "The hospital doesn't have much money left, so I bought a little extra since the store is having a sale today."
Upon hearing this, Taiichi's heart sank. Whenever the courtyard ran out of money, Nono would always disappear for a while. Taiichi knew that she had gone to complete a mission for Root.
However, thinking about his visit to Nono today, Taichi's mood improved again.
"Nonou-neechan, I came here today because I have something to discuss with you. Maybe we can solve our orphanage's funding problem."
"Oh, really?" Nono was also full of surprise after hearing this.
Indeed, it would be hard for anyone to believe that a 6-year-old could solve such a problem.
Nonou put everything away, then led Taichi to the office and casually closed the door.
Seeing that Nono had closed the door, Taichi took out the small bottle from his pocket, reciting the prepared explanation.
"You mean the stuff in here is more effective than the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs in hospitals right now!" Nono asked incredulously.
"To be precise, it's much better. I've done experiments; a chicken with a bacterial infection had its inflammation reduced in just one day after using this."
Nono stared at the small bottle in her hand, speechless for a long time.
……
"Taiichi, what do you want to do?" Nono asked Taiichi.
"Nonou-neechan, do you think our orphanage can make this ourselves?"
"Definitely not. If this thing is made, its value will be too great, and we won't be able to protect it," Nono said firmly.
"I knew it. Then we can only find a big shot to cooperate with, someone with a good reputation and whom we can trust," Tai said, analyzing the situation. "Does Nono-neechan know anyone like that?"
Nono thought for a long time but couldn't come up with the idea that she knew someone like that.
"Sister, what do you think of Lady Tsunade?" Taichi suggested. "She's not only the Third Hokage's disciple, but also a skilled medical ninja. She'd definitely know the value of allicin."
Nonou thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "But we don't know Lady Tsunade, and we don't know where we can find her."
"Perhaps I know the answer to this..."
After dealing with some matters at the orphanage, Taichi took Nono to the entrance of Konoha's largest gambling den, where they found a suitable spot to wait.
"Taiichi, do you think Lady Tsunade is really in here?" Nonou asked uncertainly.
"Let's wait and see. If we're lucky, we might catch her today." Taiichi said uncertainly. "Nonou-neechan, did you remember everything we said before?"
"Um."
"Then you will negotiate with Lady Tsunade, and I will provide support from the sidelines," said Taiichi.
……
Before they knew it, it was noon. A stunning blonde woman walked out of the gambling den. Seeing her ample bosom and her signature outfit, Taiichi and Nonoyu exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and followed her.
The two followed Tsunade into a small alley. As soon as they turned around, they saw Tsunade standing there with her arms crossed.
"Hey, you two, you've been following me ever since we came out of the gambling den. Are you afraid I'll renege on my debt?" Tsunade said with a hostile expression.
Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Taiichi's forehead was covered in black lines. It seemed that Tsunade had lost quite a bit at the gambling den. Could she have swallowed our "invention"? Taiichi thought to himself with a wicked grin.
At this moment, Nonou stepped forward and said, "Lady Tsunade, I am Nonou, the director of the orphanage and a pharmacist. This is Matsushita Taichi, a former child of our orphanage."
"Here's what happened..."
"In other words, you want me to act as a go-between and recommend that special medicine to the Hokage," Tsunade said expressionlessly.
Tsunade is currently at the lowest point in her life, suffering from hemophobia due to the deaths of her younger brother and lover, and she is too lazy to care about anything in the village.
"Find someone else," Tsunade said, turning to leave.
"This..." Nono was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
Taichi stepped forward. "Lady Tsunade, as the granddaughter of the First Hokage and one of the Legendary Sannin, are you really going to stand by and watch patients who could have been treated die because of inadequate medication? Is this really what the First Hokage wanted to see?"
If an adult had said that, Tsunade would probably have dismissed it as nonsense. But as Tsunade turned around and looked at Taichi, who was saying those words, it was as if she saw Nawaki from back then... just as... annoying.
"Bring me that miracle drug you mentioned, let me take a look."
Taiichi looked at Nono, who was standing there dumbfounded, and nudged her with his hand.
Realizing what was happening, Nono took out a small bottle from her pocket and handed it to Tsunade.
Tsunade took the small bottle, uncorked it, and smelled it. Instantly, an indescribable odor assaulted her senses. She quickly corked it and moved it away, giving Taiichi a speechless glance. "Kid, you've got quite a few clever tricks up your sleeve."
Taiichi smiled shyly, knowing that his little tricks wouldn't fool Tsunade.
"Alright, I'll come back to you guys after I verify its effectiveness!"
"Yes, Lady Tsunade, thank you for your help." Taichi and Nonou bowed in gratitude.
When the two looked up, Tsunade was already gone. Truly worthy of being one of the Legendary Sannin.
"Taiichi, you were really too bold just now. I was really worried that Lady Tsunade would beat you up," Nono said, patting Taiichi's head.
"Haha, I acted impulsively and didn't think much about it at the time." Taiyi is now a little scared.
"Now it's time to go back and wait. Well then, Nono-neechan, I'll head back too. I have training this afternoon."
"good!"
