Inari wants to live in peace

Episode 22 Opening the Shogun (15) Fishing Village

With Takeda-san's strange illness somehow in sight, I was relieved that I could finally go home.

However, the inquiry was not wholesale.

Mr. Imakawa didn't forget that he promised to go if he could.

Before returning to the Three Rivers, he urged me to stop by.

At first, I thought I'd say no, but I figured maybe if I didn't go here, I'd be constantly reminded, and I raised my waist tenderly.

If you hit the sea just south of Takeda-san's territory, it's Imakawa-san's home.

Since it is located next to Matsudaira-san in the territory, it is not bad to stop by and eat seafood just before leaving, so I thought positively even with a little force.

Through the winding streets and across the valleys and rivers, I came to Imakawa-san's territory, which stretches along the sea.

Incidentally, there seems to be a tide of abundance in countries with marine resources during the Sengoku period.

Takeda is by no means poor, but rather a buoy.

But that's because of Kanayama's power.

Moreover, I saw a shadow in the amount of gold produced, so I came to consult with the Inari God.

And if it wasn't, it seemed like he was going to go up and take the world, and then Mikawa would have been fighting him as a passage.

Looking at the results alone, I was able to avoid the battle with a piece of neck skin, but Mr. Takeda was very brave because he said that it was obvious.

But what matters now is not Takeda, but Imakawa-san's territorial management.

There are no strange illnesses going on here, so I can take it easy.

Bald Mountain stands out because shipbuilding requires a lot of wood, but I can't help it now.

Besides, since I taught Hojo-san about planting, it has already been manualized to some extent.Thanks to me, I was able to finish my work without any problems.

Now I'm walking slowly along the streets of a quiet fishing village, riding around on a dogsleigh with my kids.

The rest is easy because you can relax and enjoy the journey to the Mikawa mountain.

"Speaking of which, what kind of work does the fishermen in this village do?"

Slowly stop the dogsleigh while asking questions that are not particularly profound.

And while watching the villagers doing something on the nearby coast, ask the person Imakawa-san arranged.

"In fishing villages in our territory, we mostly make salt and fish as our livelihood."

If asked, it may be a little difficult to grow rice in the vicinity due to salt damage and water problems, and since the fishing village is full of bald mountains, there is a risk of landslides if heavy rain falls.

Planting does not work immediately.

Personally, it will not dramatically improve Imakawa-san's territorial management in the future, and it needs to be seen in the long run.

I would have stopped the dogsleigh and called it in anticipation of the waves returning, and I would have thought about what to do.

But I don't have a good idea right away without thinking.

Still, I went to a fishing village near the sea at noon and my appetite was stimulated, so I kept thinking about it as usual.

"Grow and grow seaweed."

What!?

During the Sengoku period, seaweed was still a luxury product, and it was so popular that it was dedicated to the imperial court.

That's why I didn't get it in Nagayama Village, and when I was in Kyoto, I only got a little bit of raw seaweed as a snack.

It looks like a bottled rice from a future table.

In a time when there was no sprinkle, the rice was precious, and I thought that the smell of the sea was different as it was natural.

Regardless, I just told him how to make seaweed.

"At this time, let's make it a plate seaweed, not a raw seaweed."

"" Eh?... Eh!? "

The type that you can put on rice is also good, but when it comes to rice balls, it's because there is a plate of seaweed.

In addition, if you combine seasoned seaweed and white rice with seasonings, you can enjoy as many cups as you want.

I'm sure it fits the Japanese tongue of the Sengoku era, so I'm pretty sure it's stupid.

But in fact, the fox daughter's body is a decent snack.I'm sure you'll be full of children's teacups.

But now it seems to be near lunch, and I want to eat seaweed asexually because I'm hungry.

"But seaweed is a luxury ingredient, even in my territory, which benefits from the sea.

Even the Inari God, who brings plenty of richness on land, is it difficult to increase it by hand? "

Imakawa-san's men make a serious point.

In other words, land is a stack over a long period of time, and cultivation techniques have been established to some extent, so most things can be increased if planted in the soil.

However, since there is no such thing as the sea in the present era, I think it certainly does not seem easy.

It is highly likely that the Inari god's trust will be lost when cultivation of seaweed begins without harvest.

Besides, I hear that the gods of sea and land are less friendly to each other than they used to be.

That's why the official, he desperately stopped me before something happened to the territory.

Inari-sama is the god of land, but in Imakawa territory the faith of the sea gods flourished.His response, which was not stained with fox color, was also satisfactory.

"Sure, you're right."

I don't know everything about how to cultivate seaweed, either.

If you are running without thinking, there is no doubt that you will fail.

So I nodded deeply thanks to him for his advice.

But my appetite is still alive and I will switch to a compromise for it.

"So, how about processing the plate seaweed instead of the raw seaweed?"

"Then you won't buy the wrath of the Kaijin.Thank you very much. "

Safe judgment has been made, so I'm happy to hear it from you!And take a guzzle pose.

And I asked the samurai, the guide sent by Mr. Imakawa, to guide me to the village's paper maker.
