Huajian Ming didn't want to be called such a funny and tacky name as "Xiao Ming", but he didn't dare to say it.

Who told the person who called him that to be the Sandaime Hokage?

It can only be accepted by default.

The girl served them desserts very quickly. She turned around and served them two exquisite desserts.

This was obviously not just because the person who came was the Hokage, so he opened a small stove for them, but also because besides the two of them, there was no third customer in the store at this time.

Hanami Akira considered himself a pure and innocent ordinary person. In terms of calculations, there was no way he could compare to the Sandaime Hokage. Therefore, he simply gave up thinking and prepared to take advantage of the situation.

At this time, his eyes were attracted by the desserts served.

On the exquisite plate printed with light cherry blossom patterns, there is a cute rice dumpling leaf-like thing, with transparent dumpling-shaped snacks on it, and in this transparent dumpling, a beautiful pink cherry blossom blooms

, surrounded by caramel and soybean powder as embellishment and decoration, extremely exquisite.

Looking at this snack, Hua Jianming, who was originally full of expectations, looked strange.

Once upon a time, he was also a person who was fascinated by this beautiful dessert. Before giving a gift, in order to express his feelings, he even made a DIY Shuixinxuan cake to give away.

The result... looks good, but the taste is really unflattering.

Later, he thought that he had made a mistake or his cooking skills were not up to par. One day, he decided to go to a famous Japanese restaurant and ordered a Shuixinxuan pancake, and he finally understood.

This is definitely not a problem with his cooking skills, but the taste of this thing is just like that!

At least, Hanami Akira is sure that this beautiful snack called Shuixinxuan cake can only be seen from a distance but cannot be tasted by him.

However, it does look high-end and very expensive. As a signboard, it is indeed quite attractive - mainly to attract customers who are trying it for the first time.

Hanami suddenly felt that the Uchiha clan's shop was not doing well, probably not only because of the Uchiha clan's split screen, but also because the desserts here were expensive, tasted bad, and the price-performance ratio was really not high.

"Haha, Xiao Ming, you're welcome, give it a try!"

The Sandaime thought that Hanami Akira was a bit self-conscious because he had never tasted such high-end desserts before, so he picked up a spoon to demonstrate.

"Use a small spoon to dip into the condiments on the side and eat it bit by bit."

"yes……"

Hanami Akira suppressed his speechlessness, followed the example of the Sandaime Hokage, picked up a small spoon, and began to dig into the work-of-art Suixingen cake, still holding one ten thousandth of his expectations in his heart.

Maybe, this thing in the ninja world is different from his previous life?

However, the strange sweet taste in his mouth made him realize that he was obviously overthinking it.

As expected, this thing still tastes terrible.

Oh, I miss his sesame paste, double skin milk, and sago so much!

Even if you want a sweet or salty flatbread, Shandong pancakes will do the trick!

He is actually not picky about food, he also likes spicy food, pickled fish, boiled beef, couple's lung slices...

Damn it, no, the more I think about it, the more I drift away.

Hana Jianming came back to his senses, with tears in his heart, taking small bites of the dessert in front of him, while secretly observing the expression of the third generation.

It seems that although he is not adapting well, the Sandaime actually likes it? At least it is not as difficult as him.

"How does it feel?"

Sensing the indescribable charm in Hanami Akira's expression, the Third Hokage couldn't help but observe it carefully.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether it was because the dessert was so delicious that the child couldn't bear to finish it in one sitting, so he swallowed it in small bites, or whether it was because the dessert didn't suit his taste, so he "swallowed it with difficulty."

"Ah, this..."

Hanami Ming was speechless for a moment.

He said that the stuff was not delicious, and he always felt like he was ignorant. After all, this was what the Hokage specially brought him to eat.

However, it would be really difficult for a person to brag that this thing is delicious without conscience. After all, he really can't find any advantages of this thing other than being good-looking.

Even the overly sweet three-color meatballs from the restaurant diagonally across the street are much tastier than this.

Finally, Hanami thought about it and decided to use the art of speaking to express it tactfully.

"This dessert should be very good, but it's a bit difficult for me to get used to... Maybe it's more accustomed to ordinary Jinping Candy and three-color meatballs for me."

He emphasized "habit" twice, indicating that this thing is an elegant and good thing. The Sandaime-sama must have good intentions and good taste. It's just that he, a commoner orphan, can't appreciate it and can't get used to it.

Hanami Akira is not a person who likes to pretend. As the saying goes, it is easy to pretend, but if you pretend for a long time, you will really become a fake.

Necessary disguises are necessary, such as his usual hobbies, etc. He tries not to fake it, otherwise flaws will be exposed if he is not careful.

What if the Sandaime wants to treat him to something on a whim next time, mistakenly thinking that he really likes Suishingen cakes and comes here again, wouldn't it be a huge waste? It would also be a kind of torture for him.

Therefore, it is better not to talk nonsense about this thing.

"Yes, that's how the Uchiha clan is."

The Sandaime Hokage nodded and sighed meaningfully.

"They stand too high and think they are superior. They cannot understand ordinary people, so they are alienated."

"..."

Aren't they obviously still talking about desserts? Why are they talking about the Uchiha clan again?

Hua Jianming looked confused, blinked his eyes, and pretended not to understand.

He is just a pure and innocent child who doesn’t understand anything!

"Haha, this may be a bit difficult for you to understand."

The Sandaime was not surprised by the other party's confused expression. After all, not all children can think from the Hokage's point of view like Uchiha Itachi at the age of 7. He was just expressing his feelings.

Although this child is smart, he has not reached the level of almost monster like Itachi. He is already very good.

"This store can be said to be a euphemistic attempt by the Uchiha clan... However, obviously, they still haven't been able to understand it! As you said, everyone will not be used to this."

The Sandaime looked at the price list. The dessert just now can buy ten skewers of three-color meatballs, and the taste... can't be said to be terrible, but it obviously doesn't suit his taste.

Eating such exquisite snacks is more like enjoying the atmosphere and mood than savoring the taste.

Unfortunately, most civilians and ninjas in Konoha are not interested in this. If it were opened in the capital of the Land of Fire, it might be sought after by some nobles.

Now, except for the Uchiha clan's own people who will come here to consume, basically no one else will come here.

Even if there are a few curious people who occasionally come here, they will be offended by the arrogance of the Uchiha people eating desserts here. Every time they come and go, the place becomes even more deserted.
