"There are quite a lot of underground water veins in this area.
Since the area is located at the foot of a mountain, the rain that falls on the mountain seeps into the ground and begins to form subterranean water.

"But the amount of water is low."
That's true.
However, it is a relief that the water veins are located in a relatively shallow area.

Further investigation reveals that the water is mostly soft.
"It's not that bad, since the water flows underground for such a short time."
Jin selected two veins with a large amount of water to pump to the surface.

He chose two because he was concerned about the downstream effects of pumping a large amount of water from one of them.
"How big should the bathtub be?

"Then, let's make it a family bath.
Jin built the bathtub and bathhouse with a size that would accommodate three people, a parent and a child.
The bathtub is 1.5 meters by 2 meters and 50 centimeters deep.

The bathtub should be 3 meters square including the bathtub.

The sewage will be treated properly.

The bathtub is made of cypress from Hale, stabilized and preservative treated.
The floor is made of flat natural stone (andesite). The stone is similar to what is known as "teppeiseki" in modern Japan.
"It has a nice atmosphere. It is indeed a gin-den."

The bathroom window faces east, so it has a good view. The window is large so it is bright, and when the weather is warm, it can be opened to create a sense of openness.
"Now you know how to turn on the hot water and adjust the temperature, don't you?
"Yes, it's all right."

"Also, it would be a good idea to put a refrigerator next to the changing room to keep Persica juice cold.
"I see, you drink it after taking a bath."

By the way, Marikka helped me to build the changing room.
The floor is made entirely of cypress, which smells of wood and is pleasant to the soles of bare feet.
"Yes, it's a good job, Marikka.

"Now ...... Reiko, tell the old man to send me some Persica juice."
"Yes, Father."

Persica juice from Horai Island is rich in free magic element (ether) and is very effective for nourishing and restoring magic.
After 400 years of processing and storing over-ripe Persica, the amount of Persica juice is so large that 7006 Even if No.72 drank 10 bottles of Persica every day, he would not be able to keep up with the amount of Persica he has accumulated.
Since the old man did not report the exact amount, Jin did not know how much he had accumulated. He was a little afraid to ask.

Jin ordered several dozen bottles of it.
At times like this, Jin leaves it to Reiko to deal with the old man.

The lunch menu was Japanese soba noodles. Matcha, nihachi-soba, kigurumi-gurumi (buckwheat flour ground with the skin), yam-soba, etc. were prepared.
Tempura of shrimp and vegetables, grated radish, wasabi, chopped green onion, and chopped nori (seaweed) were available as garnish and condiments.

and she is having another bowl of soba.
For your information, Jin was once told at his favorite soba restaurant that it is better to have a small portion of soba instead of a large portion because the flavor of soba loses some of its original flavor and the soba stretches a little as time goes by.

Jin enjoys only the soba and the broth first, and then adds condiments little by little. He takes a bite with wasabi, two bites with green onion, and three bites with chopped nori (seaweed).
If the dipping sauce is low, add more dipping sauce, and if the dipping sauce is low, add grated daikon (grated radish) and enjoy .......
We followed this procedure for each type of soba, so that we were full by the time we finished eating.

The last dish was sobayu.
Jin's way of drinking Sobayu is to add boiled water to the Soba water and a little Wasabi or grated radish to taste.
"This way of drinking is quite nice."
