The old lord gave him some advice.

Jin looked doubtful because what he said last night was different from what he said last night.

"That's right, isn't it?"
Jin nodded.

Jin scratched his head. The old man is right.
"If we search around the bedrock here, even in the shallow part, there must be underground water veins, right?"

Jin nodded.
"That's right. If we are going to build a canal, we need to do a thorough investigation. First of all, let's look for underground water veins. Thank you, Mr. Old Man.

Thus, Jin found an underground water vein about a kilometer north of
It was flowing through a crack in the bedrock, and the volume of water was considerable.

However, the water that had been flowing underground for a long time was so hard that it was not suitable for drinking, so Jin built a water purifier to deal with it.
Since the water contained slightly high levels of
The alum and magnesium oxide that are produced in this process are kept in stock to be used effectively as chemical substances.

Alum can be used for color fixing of pickled eggplants, and magnesium oxide can be used as laxative.

Onsen...... No, it is a cold spring because the water temperature is about 15 degrees Celsius, but it is classified as an aluminum-containing spring. It is said to be effective for skin diseases.
However, the content is low, so the extent to which it is effective is unknown.

He is happy because now that the water is running, he can live for the time being.

"Now all that's left is the yard. ......"
The area around the house is just graveled, so it is a bleak sight.
The view from the window still lacks greenery.

Even though the area is recovering, it is still mainly grass.
"I think I should plant some trees in the garden and build a small pond.
While Horaijima is mainly a laboratory of his predecessor, so he did not play around with it much, this is a place where Jin can configure it as he likes.

"I dreamed of having a pond from the porch and keeping goldfish in the pond ...... when I was in the institution."
I used to think it would be nice to have a little house of my own," Jin recalls fondly of the past.

"We've come a long way. ...... Oh, plant some low trees there."
Jin looked at the craftsman (Smith) and the foresters who were preparing the garden and muttered to himself.
Since he did not have a firm idea about the garden, after three hours of trial and error, he was satisfied with the garden.

The house was surrounded by a low hill about one meter high, and on the hill were planted azaleas, satsuki, sasanquas, camellias, yukiyanagi, yamabuki, lengyou, kodemari, oodemari, hydrangea, and other shrubs.
The names of the plants are unified in the Japanese style.

After a few years, when the leaves grow thick, the inside will be hidden from view. However, there is no one who can peek into the house.
The total area of the site is about 500 tsubo.
From the porch facing south, a pond can be seen in front of the house.

Although it is in the style of a Japanese garden, it is not designed in a formal manner. It is more like a pond in a park.
Of course, Jin's favorite cherry trees (cherries) were planted, as well as fruit trees such as plum (plums), peaches (persica), and apples (april).
The north side of the house is still paved with gravel because I want to build a garage for a
