Chapter 34: Meal
Ren Lian Lingyi stared at the leveled land with curiosity.
I have to say that he was worrying too much. Bona is a scholar. Although he is very rich, it does not mean that he does not value his property.
He had already bought a large portion of the hydrological observatory and the surrounding land.
Since it is wasteland, the price of this land is not expensive. It only cost about 800,000 Mora to buy this land covering an area of about two acres. Even if the hydrological observatory is cheated in the end, the money can be recovered by collecting rent.
It seems that Bona's mind is still trustworthy. He is not the kind of second-generation rich man who knows nothing, nor is he a nerd who only knows how to research.
There is not much to say about the groundbreaking ceremony, as the people who came were mainly nearby samurai families. The town magistrate held the groundbreaking ceremony mainly to inform the various forces on the island that something will be added here, what this thing is used for, who is behind this thing, and what impact this thing will have on everyone, so that everyone will not misunderstand.
After the groundbreaking ceremony was completed, Ren Lian Lingyi found Bona.
"How much money do you have left?"
"I estimate that this research will take about five years. As for the hydrological survey, the Inazuma shogunate and the Imperial Religious Office will provide a subsidy every month. Add to that the pocket money my family gives me, so I don't have to worry about the money. It will definitely be enough."
"We expect to publish three to five high-quality papers and seven to eight ordinary-quality papers this time. I have to thank Mr. Renlian for this," Bona said. "If it weren't for Mr. Renlian, I wouldn't have known that papers could be written this way."
"Hahaha~ It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning." Ren Lian Lingyi said with a smile.
"With Brother Ren Lian's ideas and help, plus my father's efforts, if I can really produce these papers, I will be guaranteed to enter the Academy of Educacies this time. Regardless of other things, I will definitely not let Brother Ren Lian down when the time comes."
"Don't worry, I will definitely help." Ren Lian Lingyi smiled and said, "But the academic materials I mentioned."
"It may not be possible for confidential ones, but it is definitely fine for general ones." Bona guaranteed.
Ren Lian Lingyi also understood the secrets he mentioned. Xumi's current research is still very open-minded. The Great Compassion Tree King simply classified the knowledge as taboo and turned the knowledge related to gods into secrets. Those secrets are all knowledge related to gods. Ren Lian Lingyi does not really need the information at the god-level now.
So I said, "That's for sure. The general ones will do. Besides, the confidential knowledge I want is useless. It's too advanced."
Then the two happily exchanged some knowledge about hydrological changes. Ren Lian Lingyi also shared some useful information and introduced some aquatic organisms and subspecies unique to Ren Lian Island.
Anko Kano, who was standing by, listened to their conversation with a confused look on her face. She was almost asleep when she heard them decide to go out for dinner.
At this moment, Anko Kano became energetic. As she had no blind dates, her family had stopped giving her salary. Moreover, she had just spent a lot of money at the Naruto Festival not long ago, so she didn't have much money left.
Afterwards, he had another fierce battle with Ren Lian Lingyi, which resulted in a breakthrough in his martial arts and injuries to himself.
It would be fine if it were just one of them, but the sudden appearance of both of them drained the already limited money left in Anzu Kano's wallet.
If the shrine had not been well managed by Ren Lian Lingyi and she had not been able to eat her fill every time, I'm afraid that Kano Anzi would have considered transferring to Kujo Jinya to sell her military power to fill her stomach.
However, no matter how rich the food at the shrine is, there is very little meat. After all, the shrine itself only produces a small amount of fish and meat, and the rest of the meat is purchased from outside.
This time, following Ren Lian Lingyi to dine at a lavish restaurant, Anzi Kanno decided to have a good meal.
Several people came to Renren Town, which is a small port town. The town is the seat of government of Renren Town, and the town magistrate is here. Therefore, there are the most powerful people in Renren Island. There are more than a dozen samurai in Renren Island, and most of them can be seen here.
This is also one of the important ports for the transportation of materials on Renlian Island. It is the well-deserved first town on Renlian Island and the most prosperous place on Renlian Island.
Since Bona, a wealthy man, is hosting a dinner, it is natural that he is hosting the dinner here.
"It is said that the owner of this izakaya used to work in the famous Shimuraya in Inazuma Castle. Although the izakaya here does not have the flavor of Shimuraya, the food here tastes much better than ordinary street stalls." Bona looked very familiar with this place.
It seems like I've been eating here quite a lot in the past half month.
"Boss, bring us some large portions of special dishes." Bona said to the boss in the kitchen as he led a few people to the private room.
"Okay!" said the boss.
"What would you two like to drink?" Bona asked
"Viola juice is fine." Ren Lian Lingyi said.
Violaceous melon juice is the most common and folk drink in Inazuma.
"Give me some sake." Anko Kano said with a blush.
"Then I'll have a glass of sunset juice. It's a pity that there are no Dun Dun peaches here. Dun Dun peach juice is my favorite." Bona said
The three of them chatted, and Ren Lian Lingyi also introduced Kanno Anzi to Bona.
However, the two had nothing much to say. After all, one was a warrior and the other was a scholar, so they just nodded to each other to show that they knew each other. They didn't have much to say, so they stopped talking since they couldn't talk to each other.
After a while, Ren Lian Lingyi smelled the fragrance.
"Is it fried mushrooms? This is the taste." Ren Lian Lingyi swallowed hard.
"It is said that the boss made this by combining the characteristic industries of Renlian Island. Apart from other things, the fragrance is indeed unique." Bona nodded and said.
"This should be the oil boiled from the fat of wild boars in the pine forest, combined with high-level fungi from the mushroom town and high-quality salt from the desolate sea to produce this aroma." Ren Lian Lingyi said after sniffing it carefully.
Then another burst of fragrance came out.
"I know this. I asked the boss about this and he said this is his secret sauce. Although it's not as good as the one at Shimuraya, it's definitely not less. It contains several spices that are unique to Xumi."
After a while, the boss brought a large plate of mushrooms.
He clasped his hands together, bowed, and said, "Please enjoy your meal," and then left.
These are all fungi that have been processed by the boss, and they are basically 80% mature.
And the hot iron plate is still heating up.
Ren Lian Lingyi took aim at a slice of Ganoderma lucidum and put it into his mouth.
After more than a hundred years, Ren Lian Lingyi finally tasted the fruits of his labor a hundred years ago, because according to his information, the high-grade fungi in Mushroom Town are only available in the lineage of the original village chief, and the price is not low.
"Delicious." Ren Lian Lingyi commented with mixed feelings.
