Chapter 21 Preparing Gifts
Although the transformation technique is basic, it is very easy to use. At least in the field of clothing design and production, the design can be experienced on the body for the first time. After it looks good, fits well, and is completely modified, the fabric can be stitched according to the pattern.
Looking at the large mess of things that appeared in the living room of the Uchiha mansion today, the kitchen is also steaming,
"Sasuke, are you making your own clothes? Why don't you just buy them if you are so rich?"
"I am an Uchiha. The Uchiha clan crest is not specially sewn into the clothes that are made on the outside. It is specially made to order. How many tailors who have a good relationship with Uchiha are willing to design it carefully?"
"I don't really want to do it. My mother used to be responsible for making clothes."
Naruto emo'd again, "I don't even know what my mother looks like..."
Sasuke turned his back to Naruto and rolled his eyes and said "Sorry". He was almost used to emo every now and then. Anyway, it came and went quickly.
The real reason is not that complicated. You can definitely find someone if you spend a certain amount of money. In fact, Sasuke just dislikes the ugly clothes designed by the Hokage. Currently, he specifically refers to the old clothes left by Uchiha.
If you want to wear something more formal when visiting your home, Haori hakama is your first choice. I have it in my wardrobe. The size is adjustable, so even if you are 10 years old, it will not be too small.
But it's so ugly. Even though he was once a wealthy member of Konoha, he doesn't even talk about the design of his clothes. Is this fabric really a joke? It can only be said that it is slightly more delicate than the coarse cloth worn when working in the fields. It is not even exquisite. It is dyed in a dark color and sewn with ethnic patterns.
Uchiha Fugaku was the clan leader, and the old clothes he left behind were not any better than those of other clan members, so he did a good job of treating them equally.
Sasuke came from the era of information explosion, and his vision is not ordinary. LOL, Onmyoji, FF, Blade & Soul, fashion week catwalk...
Although I won't make a suit of clothes as exaggerated as in the game, I can still add some corner adjustments, accessories, and dark patterns without being obtrusive.
There are ready-made clothes that can be disassembled and you can learn how to sew and route the threads. There are also sewing machines, which are not difficult to operate without being skilled at them.
I casually pulled out ten sketches of the design. I would have to go to a fabric store to check for details, maybe a ninja shop too.
Sasuke here went out, and Naruto went to the kitchen to watch the fun. There were several large basins of soaked grains, and a large number of pots and bowls.
"It's rare to see you make so many things. Is it steaming wine again this time?"
"No, there is still a lot of wine to be steamed. Of course, this thing can also steam wine. I plan to make some snacks to take with me then. You can't come empty-handed."
Snacks!
Although the food made by Sasuke always has a learning period (disposal period), the after-school products are not too unpalatable, and you can also take the opportunity to laugh at him.
"Hey, what is it? Can you eat it today? Something new?"
"This time it will be kept secret. I won't make too many trial products, so don't think about it."
Seeing that Sasuke was busy, his body was already in battle, and he didn't even go to practice or read a book.
Naruto was a little panicked.
"Sasuke, should I prepare something to take with me?"
"You don't have to bring it, it's not a big problem."
Naruto really has no money, and everyone knows that he has been an orphan for a long time. With his back on the corpses of a clan, even if the dead camel is bigger than a horse, even if the dead camel's meat is eaten clean, there are still bones that can produce a lot of oil. If you really have nothing left, not only will you look down on Uchiha, but the old thief Sarutobi may also be gossiped about behind his back.
Although he was very happy that he might be stabbed in the spine, it felt too bad to injure the enemy a thousand and lose eight hundred, not to mention that the enemy was a half-dead ghost who had only a few years to live. Uchiha's face was his own face, and it was obvious that he wanted to Much more important.
"Would an adult care about a visitor or a child who doesn't bring a gift? Even if he does, he won't show it. Don't worry."
Hearing what Sasuke said, it was strange that Naruto could feel relieved.
"But you prepared so many things, and if I didn't prepare anything, I would definitely be hated after such a comparison. I don't want to be hated when I go to Shikamaru's house for the first time."
"Sasuke, please help me come up with an idea."
...It seems that I started to roll it myself. It's really not a good idea to open the book, right?
"Why don't you take the letter with me, even if it was prepared by the two of us?"
"But everyone knows that I don't know how to do these things. You must have prepared them."
"Didn't you also grow some vegetables? There are relatively few vegetables this season. Do you have any left?"
Naruto curled his lips, "It's all because winter came too early. Most of the vegetables I planted died before they had time to bloom. And the vegetables you planted outside must have died too! You actually cheated and planted some vegetables In the glass house, let’s compare this year not next year when the weather gets warmer.”
"Growing vegetables is nothing compared to that...the other half is what you grow."
"I don't have anywhere to put the potatoes in my house. I'll just wait until they're in the ground. Maybe there will still be some left alive, probably."
Potatoes are pretty versatile. I can come up with many dishes, but there are only a few snacks.
"Do you want to give the things you brought to Shikamaru's family, or do you plan to share them directly with Shikamaru and the others?"
Naruto obviously didn't have that good understanding, "What's the difference?"
"One is a snack that I accepted but it is not convenient to use the raw materials immediately or is too luxurious. The other is a snack that may be eaten directly when the time comes."
Naruto looked at his confused expression, and Sasuke began to suspect that his language skills were failing.
"I'll write you a list. You choose."
Limited to materials and aesthetics when giving gifts, there are actually not many options to choose from.
"I really should make some snacks, right? You will teach me, right?"
As for the gifts for adults, they were almost all chosen from Sasuke's inventory, and Naruto didn't seem to think about it at all.
Although I know that Naruto's first thought is not to get too involved, but the other party is a strange adult, and I don't know what he thinks of Naruto. The effect of giving a gift hastily is not very good. It is better to just have fun among friends. After all the fun, this decision can be considered a mistake.
"No problem teaching you, just choose two."
"Can't you select them all?"
"Carrying big and small bags, it's a bit like returning home from shopping in the supermarket. As a first-time customer, some image points will be deducted, right? Other people who didn't know saw it and thought that the person who invited us was just trying to receive gifts. Yes, not very good.”
Naruto was shocked, "Would a stranger still think like this?"
Sasuke was not surprised at all, "It's just because I don't know him that I'm just thinking nonsense and gossiping behind his back."
Going down to the ground to look through the results of several months, Naruto found that the potatoes were buried underground. Although some were damaged, luckily there were still many edible ones, so he simply dug them all out. Although he wouldn't use much this time, they would be harvested after drying. It can also prevent further rot or freezing.
When potatoes exist as potatoes, the methods are limited, but after being made into starch, there are still many options.
