John then went on to demonstrate that he was the test subject by breaking the leg off the chocolate frog he had brought out. The frog didn't appear to experience any pain while doing this. Many other people had gathered around the girl as well after seeing all the excitement surrounding the new stall.
And after that he proceeded to eat the leg. The small kids were desperately trying to figure out if John was acting out or something, but his countenance didn't indicate that he was consuming anything repulsive. The daring girl became even more intrigued to eat the chocolate as a result, and she paid the whole amount from the chocolate that John consumed some of.
Even with a broken limb, the frog wanted to jump away, but these kids weren't just any kids; they had the potential to become future genins. Therefore, gripping this tiny object wasn't at all difficult. And the girl's face lit up like Christmas lights when she tasted the chocolate.
She loved it so much that after eating it, she said.
"Uncle I want to buy 10 of these." the girl said to John.
"Uh.. 10? Regrettably, we only have four of them. These are quite difficult to make, therefore the chocolate costs four times as much as the standard ones and is therefore 50 ryo. John spoke while glancing at Aoto. Aoto had previously informed Hiruzen that he could rarely produce one in a day and that he thus needed to maintain this for at least a little while. Later, he might increase the output and explain it away by saying that he had grown and that his chakra reserves had correspondingly increased in size.
Naturally, that was in the future, and it would initially only be sold in very small numbers. Since some of the items he needed to sell were fairly outlandish and would take time, he wasn't in a rush anyway.
The girl didn't mind too much and purchased the remaining chocolate frogs before inquiring about the jelly beans. This time, Aoto was the one who spoke out and gave an explanation. As expected, this struck a string on the hearts of the young children.
A few people decided to buy after being inspired by the brave girl. This was great for them because it wasn't as expensive as the chocolate frog. Aoto was glad to serve the other people who wanted to try the fried chicken.
To sell everything in the stall, Aoto and John toiled for more than 30 minutes. The chicken and jelly beans disappeared quickly. Aoto was beaming broadly as they returned after looking at the sales.
The system would take the money from the sales of the chocolate frog and jelly beans, but the cash from the fried chicken was his, and seeing it in the cash cupboard gave him a sense of success.
After they returned, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, John went out once more to sell fried chicken near playgrounds and parks. Because another individual had come to make a purchase, Aoto didn't go with John this time.
And this was Aoba Yamashiro. He was here to negotiate and had just returned from his trip. Actually he shouldn't have been the one approaching Aoto, but the other way round.
"Aoba Uncle, I was going to find you. Why did you take the effort to come to my shop." Added Aoto. He was the proprietor of the next-door store, and he now hazily recalled what had caused the name to strike him. He was one of the jonin side ninjas that showed up during the series, and although he couldn't recall their names, his previous self's recollections managed to save them.
"Well, the lady told me that you wanted to purchase the business, and on top of that, the Hokage also ordered me to purchase the new item that you had been hawking. Naturally, I came running by."
Aoto tensed up after hearing Aoba's comments. He implied that Hokage had sent the first client his way. This gave him great joy.
"I believe we should discuss it at my house. Shall we?" Aoto said. Aoba gave a head nod. More so than Aoto, Aoba was giddy with anticipation. He was thrilled to hear such wonderful news from Hokage after returning from a protracted and tedious border mission. He was somewhat astonished to learn that it was Aoto, the neighbor, but he remained silent.
He didn't need to look into it any more because the Hokage was backing it. Additionally, he didn't see Aoto when he returned to see him, so he naturally went to his shop where the lady was working and started asking around. He learned there that Aoto had previously visited in trying to purchase the store.
This was something he didn't expect but it came as a pleasant surprise for him. He had owned the store for a while, but he was growing weary of running it. Being a jonin and running a side business proved to be too much for him, so he decided to sell the shop to Aoto in exchange for a favor.
He made up his mind to sell the shop to Aoto since he knew he couldn't let this opportunity pass. Aoto brought some fried chicken for him to eat after they both arrived at his house. He was a businessman, so it goes without saying that he wouldn't pass up a chance.
The chicken left Aoba highly impressed, and he made a mental point to give it a try occasionally.
"So which Palico would you buy Aoba Uncle."
"I heard there are five types. Can you explain it to me?" asked Aoba.
Aoto then patiently explained the types and uses of Palico and at the end he decided to go for the Bombardier which had the price tag of 1 million ryo.
