Despite the village throwing a celebration party for Ryuusui by welcoming him with a grand feast, he was startled to see all dishes comprise nothing but grilled fish.

After proclaiming to solve the village’s food shortage, Ryuusui explored the place with the others. Besides acquiring a new map, Senku and his team found feral goats to last them a few days. The next day they discovered a huge land with naturally grown wheat.

Taiju and others plowed the fields to grow wheat after learning some scientific tweaks related to agriculture from Senku.

After giving it some thought, Senku and Ryuusui decided to wake a professional chef.
