Chapter 41 Section 41

After staying for six days in a row, the question of what kind of food to cook has become a nerve-wracking thing.As soon as Cheng Shi put the meals that were roughly the same as last night on the table, Tang Chuan walked into the banquet room. "Well, thanks." "You have worked hard. Mr. Yuchuan, did you go to investigate the ship today?" Yu Chuan nodded and sat cross-legged on the cushion. "They can be regarded as ready, and they can start experimenting. If this continues, I really don't know when they will be able to return to Tokyo." "Are you going to live here for a while?"

"Who knows. If the people from DESMEC can move quickly, it will not take a few days." There was a knock at the door.Gongping walked into the banquet room.Holding a bowl of pork chop rice in his hand, he sat down opposite Tang Chuan as usual. "Your food still looks delicious." "Didn't I tell you? If you want to change with me, I'll be happy anytime." Tang Chuan snorted and saw that it was true. "I have something to ask you. From tomorrow, I want to eat the same meals as him." "Huh? But what he ate was our family's dinner..."

"It's okay. Don't worry, I won't use this as an excuse to ask you to give me a discount on the accommodation fee." Chengshi put his hands on his knees and said dejectedly, "I'm so sorry. Eating the same meal every day is really boring. But we have tried our best." Yu Chuan picked up the chopsticks with a wry smile. "I didn't say I'm tired of eating. Even if I eat it every day, I won't be bored with the seafood here. It's just that sometimes I want to relive the taste of home." Cheng Shi glanced at Tang Chuan and said, "You mean, the meals cooked by Mrs. Zun herself?"

Yu Chuan shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not married yet. So, when I said 'taste of home' just now, I actually referred to the meals I cook by myself. However, in your kitchen here If you cook with your hands, the feeling will be a little different. Did you cook these meals by yourself?" "I help out sometimes, but most of the time my mother does it. If it's too busy, we also bring in a cook." "Your mother made it..." Tang Chuan picked up a piece of fish jelly with chopsticks and said, "Her craftsmanship is not so good. Did she learn cooking before?"

"I heard that she used to work in a snack bar when she was young. Maybe she learned her craft at that time." "Oh? Is it a snack bar in Tokyo?" "I heard that yes..." "Well, I've heard of it too." Gongping said while eating, "That's where she met uncle, right?" "Your uncle? According to this, the boss and the proprietress here met at that snack bar in Tokyo?" Tang Chuan looked at Gongping first, and then Shishi, as if confirming. "Yeah——right?" Gongping also asked Chengshi. "Well, it seems to be. But I don't know the specific situation."

"Well. These things happened before you were born, after all." "That store serves the taste of this side." "The taste here?" "Their family imports fresh fish from here and makes it into dishes. My dad told me." "yes?" Hearing Tang Chuan's question, Cheng Shi couldn't deny it, so he had to answer "it seems to be."An inexplicable sense of foreboding began to flood her heart. "I see, it's a restaurant from my hometown? It's also a rare restaurant for those who leave their homes and go to work in the metropolis. The owner here was probably homesick at the time, so he met him in that restaurant." To his destined lover."

"It shouldn't be that exaggerated." "Besides your father, there should be many people who often go to that store, right? Have you ever heard your parents talk about this?" "Uh, well..." Cheng Shi got up and was about to leave, "After all, it was a long time ago, and they seem to rarely mention it in front of me." Her smile was awkward. Please enjoy. After finishing speaking, Cheng Shi walked out of the banquet room as if fleeing. When he walked through the lobby, Cheng Shi couldn't help but stop when he saw the painting hanging on the wall.She remembered what Yu Chuan said last night.The physicist has noticed that this painting is the scenery of East Glass.In addition, there are those questions he raised just now.Cheng Shi felt a little regretful.Perhaps, in fact, I shouldn't have mentioned in front of Yukawa that Setsuko used to work in a snack bar.

What does Yukawa know?What did he discover?What did his friend Kusanagi in the Metropolitan Police Department say to him? With a heavy heart, Chengshi walked towards the kitchen.Just then, the phone on the front counter rang.Chengshi's heart skipped a beat, and then she felt an ominous premonition.Chengshi remembered the situation when Kusanagi called last time. Cheng Shi felt as if there was phlegm stuck in his throat.She coughed dryly, picked up the phone and said, "Hi, this is 'Green Rock Village'." "Hello? I want to ask, is this Kawahata's house?" A young woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.The other person seems to be speaking politely.

"Yes. Who are you?" The other party paused for a while and said, "My name is Xiaoguan. Xiaoguan Reiko. Is Miss Kawabata Narumi at home?" Hearing the other party say his name, Cheng Shi hurriedly began to recall.In less than three seconds, she had already recalled Xiaoguan Reiko's face. "Reiko...how did you call? It's me, Chengshi." "Ah." The other party exclaimed, "It's true. When I first heard your voice, I wondered if it might be you. It's been a long time. Are you okay?" "Well, it's okay." Hearing that the caller was from a classmate in junior high school, Cheng Shi's spirit suddenly cheered up.But immediately, another ominous wind blew through her heart.After such a long time, Xiao Guan suddenly called, what did she want to say?

"We haven't seen each other for almost ten years. I've been thinking about calling you. But it's always delayed because of one thing or another, and it didn't work out in the end. I'm in a 4S now Working in the store is also very busy on weekdays.” "Well, isn't that good?" Cheng Shi replied casually, feeling anxious in his heart.Before, the two had not been in contact with each other because they could not find a suitable opportunity.So, what is the reason for Xiaoguan to call tonight? "Cheng Shi, what are you doing now? Since you are still at home, you should not be married yet, right?"

"Well, I'm helping out at home." "I see. You know what? Naomi is already a mother of two, and I heard her husband is pretty bad." The two began to discuss the topics of the friends who were in the same group with them in junior high school, and chatted with each other about the recent situation of those friends.Although these things are quite enjoyable to talk about, Chengshi can't concentrate.She has always wanted to know why Reiko suddenly called herself. After a few perfunctory words, Reiko suddenly asked, "How are you? How do you feel? Is there anything strange?" "something weird?" "Anything is fine. Whatever surprises happen around me is fine." Chengshi feels that there is something wrong with Reiko's question. "It's nothing, it's just the same as usual." "Oh? Then, you are the same as me. Ah, it's already so late. Sorry to disturb your work." "It's all right. I just stopped what I was doing." "That's good. Well, let's talk next time. By the way, I haven't asked your mobile phone number yet." Chengshi and Reiko exchanged cell phone numbers with each other.Just when Cheng Shi thought that the other party should hang up the phone, Reiko suddenly said hesitantly: "I said, I remember it was in Diqi, right?" "Hey?" Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat, "What?" "Chengshi, your family lived near Ogiki Station at the time, right?" "Yes what's the matter?" "It's nothing. I just thought of it, so I'm just asking. Well, we'll talk about it next time." "En." Hearing that the other party hung up the phone, Cheng Shi also put down the handset.Her hands trembled slightly. There is no doubt that someone must have gone to Xiaoguan Reiko to ask about the situation.Moreover, the question asked by the other party must be where Kawabata lived when he was in junior high school.If the person who asked this question was just an ordinary person, then Reiko probably wouldn't be particularly concerned.It is precisely because the person asking the question is not an ordinary person, that's why Reiko called her on purpose.Reiko has been such a curious girl since she was in junior high school. The police have already taken action.They seem to be going to investigate what happened when Narumi Kawahata lived in Ogiki. Cheng Shi felt his legs go weak for a while.She couldn't even stand still, so she crouched down by the counter.
