Chapter 468 Cooperation With The Inn
Of course, regardless of the reason, this was definitely a good thing for Takeru.
Not only could these delicacies continuously satisfy his own appetite, but they could also promote the growth of the portable space.
He wondered if anyone had drawn Gourmet Cells.
If so, combined with these delicacies, it should be able to give his own basic attributes a considerable boost.
Of course, although the upper limit of Gourmet Cells was very high, without the large number of special delicacies from the Toriko World, Gourmet Cells couldn’t continue to improve after reaching a certain level.
So, Gourmet Cells were precious, but not to the point of obtaining them at all costs for now.
Shaking his head, Takeru stopped thinking and simply leaned against the stone behind him, quietly enjoying the relaxation brought by the hot spring.
Compared to the quiet on Takeru’s side, the women’s side was much livelier.
Soaking in the hot spring, although there were quite a few people, it wasn’t crowded.
"Indeed, nothing relaxes you like a hot spring, especially right after special training," Lying in the hot spring, the girls all showed expressions of enjoyment.
"Ai, Hinata, aren’t you tired? Still training?" Looking at Ai and Hinata, who were working hard to stand on the water surface, Karin asked softly.
"It’s fine. Besides, I’m Master’s first disciple. How can I be too weak?" Hearing Karin’s words, Hinata said seriously.
Just as she finished speaking, she got distracted. The Chakra beneath her feet dispersed, and she fell directly into the hot spring.
As Hinata fell, the water flow was affected, and Ai also fell shortly after.
"No way, next time I’ll stand for five minutes," After falling, Hinata emerged again and said.
"Alright, just bathe for now. If you practice too long, everyone else will be done," Hearing her words, Miki said with a smile, pulling her along.
"Hee hee, at a time like this, you really need a glass of Moomoo Milk," At this time, Yui took a bottle of Moomoo Milk from her item bar and started drinking.
"Eh, Yui, you’re secretly hiding milk? That’s so sneaky," Seeing Yui’s action, Ritsu pounced directly at Yui.
"Wait... wait, you’re going to make me drop it," Due to Ritsu’s action, Yui couldn’t hold the milk bottle steady.
"Alright, Ritsu, stop fooling around," Watching Ritsu and Yui messing around, Mio stepped in to stop Ritsu.
"Anyone who wants milk can come get some from me," Seeing everyone’s expressions, Ram took out several bottles of Moomoo Milk and said to everyone.
"Ram-san, thank you so much," Hearing Ram’s words, everyone gathered around, and soon everyone had a bottle of Moomoo Milk and drank heartily...
Then, after soaking for about half an hour, everyone slowly left the hot spring.
After the hot spring, Akina had prepared a sumptuous meal for everyone.
However, although the taste was very good and the ingredients were of high value, it was somewhat insignificant compared to Takeru’s cooking.
Takeru also took out some of the delicacies that Rem and the others had prepared in advance.
"Akina-san, Takashi-san, if you don’t mind, please join us," Looking at the two beside him, Takeru invited them.
"Father, Mother, these are special foods grown by Master. They not only strengthen the body but also have beautifying effects," Ai waved to them.
"Is that so? Then sorry for intruding," Akina, who was already tempted, couldn’t resist after hearing about the beautifying effects.
"Welcome," The others also smiled at the two joining them.
Then, after tasting these special delicacies, the two were instantly conquered and started eating heartily.
Soon, as time passed, all the delicacies on the table were finished, including the ordinary dishes.
This was mainly due to the appetizing effect of the BB popcorn and the special property of Paradise Rice to enhance the flavor of anything it was paired with. So even ordinary dishes became no longer ordinary.
Finally, after Akina and Takashi realized what had happened, they felt very bloated. Remembering how they had been eating like crazy, they showed embarrassed expressions.
But no one laughed at them. Although everyone had eaten many times before, they still couldn’t help but devour the food every mealtime...
After lunch and the hot spring, everyone rested at the inn for a while.
As for Akina and Takashi, they directly approached Takeru, mainly because the delicacies they had just tasted showed them a huge business opportunity.
If they could get a supply from Takeru, their inn’s reputation would definitely rise again.
"Sorry, Akina-san, those delicacies cannot be produced in very large quantities. Moreover, those things are extremely precious ingredients, not something ordinary money can measure," Facing Akina’s proposal, Takeru directly refused.
"Sigh, as expected. It was too presumptuous of me. After all, those delicacies are like something not from this world," Hearing Takeru’s words, Akina, although having expected it, still sighed slightly.
"Of course, as for milk and eggs alone, I can supply you with one hundred liters and two hundred eggs per week. How you operate them is up to you," Hearing her words, Takeru thought for a moment and said.
"Really? Thank you so much," Akina, who originally thought there was no chance, showed a surprised expression upon hearing Takeru’s latter words.
"Yes, as for other things, if you’re eating them yourselves, I can provide a small amount. But for selling, that’s not possible," Hearing her words, Takeru said softly.
"Yes, thank you so much. Please rest assured, the profits from selling the milk and eggs will not be taken by the Hinatsuru Inn. We will give all the proceeds to you. Also, if you are willing, the Hinatsuru Inn is willing to transfer fifteen percent of its shares to you," Hearing Takeru’s words, Akina said seriously.
According to estimates by interested parties, the Hinatsuru Inn was a corporation worth tens of billions. Yet Akina offered to transfer 15% of the shares to Takeru, which showed her sincerity.
The reason for this was naturally not that Akina was foolish. She clearly understood that someone like Takeru couldn’t be bought with ordinary money. If they wanted, making money wouldn’t be too difficult, and many people would be willing to give them money to spend.
And if Takeru accepted her shares, then if any problems arose with the Hinatsuru Inn in the future, Takeru couldn’t just stand by. Also, with those special delicacies, Takeru could easily establish a food group.
Finally, it was purely out of gratitude to Takeru. Not only was he her daughter’s savior, but he was also her daughter’s master.
With these connections, she also wanted to have a closer relationship with Takeru. If he could become her son-in-law, she would be even happier...
"Shares are unnecessary. For now, I’ll give you this month’s supply. Where should I put it?" looking at Akina, Takeru reminded directly.
"Please follow me," Hearing Takeru’s words, Akina directly led Takeru to a special storage room. Although it was a storage room, it was clear that only valuable items were stored there.
"Please put them here," Then, she said to Takeru.
Takeru nodded at the sight and began to take out the Moomoo Milk and Chansey eggs. While taking them out, Takeru also used his materialization ability to create some stacking boxes.
Having witnessed too many of Takeru’s special abilities, Akina was no longer surprised by his ability to materialize objects out of thin air.
"Also, you can try these. Besides having a good taste, they can strengthen the body and enhance one’s resistance, making one less prone to illness," After finishing with the milk and Chansey eggs, Takeru took out some Paradise Rice, White Apples, and Almond Cabbage.
"By the way, this is Cocomayo. The fruit accumulates rich oils. When squeezed out, it becomes Cocomayo, which mixes the bitterness of cacao with the sourness of mayonnaise. It is very suitable for adding to refreshing fresh vegetables as a salad. You can try this. I can also supply one hundred fruits per month."
Suddenly remembering something, Takeru also took out a box of Cocomayo fruits.
"I understand. I will have the chef use them to make vegetable salads," Hearing Takeru’s words, Akina quickly nodded, never doubting that anything Takeru brought out could be of poor quality.
"Well, that’s about everything I came here to do. We should be saying goodbye soon," After taking care of everything, Takeru proposed to leave.
"Master," Hearing Takeru’s words, Ai hugged Takeru tightly, her tone filled with reluctance.
"You stay at home and spend time with your parents. And don’t forget your training. I’ll come to pick you up in a few days," Seeing Ai’s reluctant expression, Takeru rubbed her head and said softly.
