Chapter 12 Section 12

Through the binoculars, I saw Shizuna and Kawano appearing in front of the target bookstore.Jing Nai took his arm across the road and walked into a bank. Taifu put down the binoculars and looked at his watch, it was already six o'clock.There is another task later, an important task that cannot be missed no matter what.Don't let such a trivial matter as defrauding a middle school teacher be delayed. Taifu raised the binoculars again.Normally, it would be strange to do this kind of behavior while sitting on a bench, but it didn't pose any problem at all to Taifu, who was dressed as an otaku.

Soon the two walked out of the bank, and after Shizuna said something to Kawano, the taxi stopped in front of them.She waved to Kawano and got into the car.Kawano watched him off with a look of reluctance. Taifu immediately got up and walked to the road, and hurriedly stopped a taxi.After getting in the car, he said, "Go to Qingshan." The phone rang, and it was from Shiina. "I am ヤマダ (Yamada)." Taifu said. "The money has been received, one piece." "That's great." Taifu nodded.One piece means one million.The iron rooster Kawano also paid a lot of money to prevent the otaku from stealing his girlfriend.

"Now go back to the head office in Nihonbashi, repack and rush to Aoyama." "Understood. I'll go explore the way first." After hanging up the phone, Taifu took off his glasses and wig, and neatly arranged his hair.He doesn't have time to "repack" like Jing Nai. After getting off the car at Qingshan, he went into the toilet of a nearby building and took out a bag containing a shirt and coat from a paper bag.After changing clothes, he stuffed the clothes he took off, the costume props, and the paper bag into his bag, and walked out of the toilet. Target's store sits along Antique Avenue, and the billboard says "baron."Standing on the sidewalk across the road, Taifu took out his mobile phone, put it to his ear, and pretended to start talking.Of course, his eyes were fixed on the door of the "baron".

Brightly dressed men and women kept filing in, ranging in age from their 20s to 35 years old. There were couples and same-sex companions, and some came alone. There is a party at the store tonight.People who are very important to Taifu will appear. I checked the time, it was almost 7 o'clock. A taxi pulled up and a man in a tan leather jacket got out.After seeing his side face, Taifu shifted his gaze to the screen on the mobile phone in his hand, and there was a photo of a man on it.He compared it with the man who got out of the taxi. Watching the figure of the man disappear into the shop, Taisuke dialed the phone.

"Hi, 'Planning ART Office'." Koichi said. "The target entered the store without a companion, and the means of transportation was a taxi." "As expected. How is the guest distribution?" "Various. It wouldn't be strange for a woman to go in alone. What's next?" Facing Taifu's question, Koichi was silent for a moment. "No, it's still according to the original plan. Jing Nai is more eye-catching by herself, so you go in with her." "learn." After hanging up the phone, Taifu stared at "baron" again, and someone behind him patted his shoulder, it was Jing Nai.She wore a short jacket over a gray dress, and she reapplied her make-up, which was more elegant than before.

"Is this dress okay?" "What's the dissatisfaction?" "No, I'm just worried that it's too simple." "The other party must be tired of the heavy makeup. Hey, let's go, Mr. Kasuga (Kusuga)." "Let's go, Miss Saori (Saori)." Taking advantage of the lack of traffic, they crossed the road. Looking at the dark red liquid pouring into the glass, Hushen Xingcheng couldn't help sighing: "Good wine."Gently shaking the glass, staring at the slightly rippling red wine quietly returning to calm, the speed and viscosity were quite close to what he estimated.Shaking the cup slowly again, smelling the aroma of the wine, he took a sip and took it in his mouth.Quite mellow, the taste of tannins is well preserved, and the slight sweetness does not feel inconsistent.It would go well with schnitzel, he thought.

"The place of origin is." said the young waiter holding the wine container.He's wearing a bow tie, doesn't look right, and is a bartender in training. "Northern Italy." "Hmm. It says Gran Reserva on the bottle, and this wine is a Reserva—" "Okay, I know." Xingcheng stretched out his right hand to stop him from continuing to introduce.He doesn't like to listen to other people talking about this and that when tasting wine, which can easily lead to preconceived ideas. Taking another sip, he quietly closed his eyes, imagining the scene during the meal.How will guests feel after eating a schnitzel and drinking this wine while the taste is still in their mouth?Does it match the taste of demiglacesauce?

The brewing time of Reserva is stipulated by law, whether it needs to be aged for five years or six years, well, this kind of thing doesn’t matter, the important thing is whether its taste matches the cooking. "It should be good." After reaching a conclusion, Xingcheng put the wine glass on the table. "But..." he continued to think, "The price is too high. It costs at least 7,000 yen to open a bottle in a restaurant. It's a little expensive for couples who come to eat in a comfortable mood." Xingcheng took out a notepad from his pocket, and wrote down his name first.Depending on the quantity purchased, there may be room for price maneuver.

Leaving the previous place, he began to look around.Although it's a party for standing and dining, it's actually a tasting session of Italian red wine.On the table with the dishes lined up, there is the corresponding recommended red wine. Most of the people received are related to restaurants, and some celebrities can be seen here and there, and there are very few people with unknown origins.Hearing that an invitation letter was leaked through an online auction, the organizer turned a blind eye to it because he was worried that there would be very few attendees. Xingcheng stopped at the place where fresh fish marinade and white wine were placed. How to match white wine has always been one of his weaknesses.

When he raised his glass, a female voice inadvertently broke into his ears. "A few days ago, someone recommended me a super delicious foreign food restaurant." Xingcheng reacted to the word "foreign food" and turned his head slightly. A young man and a woman stood beside him.Xingcheng guessed that they were a couple, but the atmosphere between them was a bit strange, the man looked humble, as if deliberately lowering his posture. "Western food is really rare. Which one?" the man asked. "'Togami Pavilion', the name is strange, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Xingcheng's body stiffened involuntarily.It never occurred to him that the name of the store would be mentioned. "Do you need to pour red wine?" The female clerk asked with a smile on her face. "Ah...thank you." Xingcheng handed her the empty wine glass, but his attention was completely attracted by the conversation beside him. "I've heard of this store, and there are several in Tokyo. I haven't been there yet, so it's so delicious. What did you order?" "I ordered the beef stew, and my friend ordered the deep-fried seafood dinner. It was really delicious." "Hey, next time I will take my wife to eat and see." "However, not all women will like this store. It's another matter if you want to take your wife there." Xingcheng, who was just about to take a sip of white wine, stopped, it was hard for him not to mind the words. "Ah, where did this start?" The other party asked, Xing Cheng listened attentively. "This, it's hard to explain clearly in a few words. If it's a woman, I think she will understand. Or maybe it's all my psychology." "I'm a little concerned, but I'm more interested." "Then go once. You'll understand then." "Well. Then pick a day to eat and have a look." The two started to walk away slowly, Xingcheng panicked when he saw this.He put the half-drinked white wine on the table and chased after him. The two walked side by side, talking and laughing.The woman has a slender figure, and she is in her early 20s, judging from the side profile she saw in a flash.The man was also quite young, and seemed a little older than her.He is of medium build and exudes the feeling of a salesman. "Excuse me," a voice came from behind.The two stopped when they heard the sound, and turned their heads at the same time, with puzzled expressions on their faces. Xingcheng was taken aback.The woman was a bit more beautiful than he had imagined from the back. "Ah, please forgive my abruptness. Just overheard your conversation over there." The two looked at each other.The woman is thoughtful. "The conversation about Western Food House." Xingcheng said, "I just mentioned 'Hushen Pavilion'." Ah, the woman nodded. "I mentioned it, what happened?" "That... I don't know what dissatisfaction you have?" "what?" "About 'Togami-tei', you said 'not all women will like this store'. Please tell me the details." At this moment, the man took a step forward. "Excuse me, are you?" "Ah, I'm really sorry. I should have introduced myself just now." Xingcheng took out his business card from his coat pocket, "This is my business card." "Hushen Xingcheng, Hushenting, Hushenting, Hushenting, Co., Ltd." is printed on the business card.Seeing this, the woman opened her eyes wide.The man was also dumbfounded. "Too bad, I actually made such a big mistake..." As she spoke, she covered her mouth with her hand. "Ah, I'm really sorry." Suddenly, the man kept bowing his head, "I didn't expect to meet the operator of that store so close. We definitely didn't do it on purpose. Please don't worry. Besides, she just I said that the food at 'Togami-tei' is delicious." Xingcheng shook his head. "I don't feel unhappy. On the contrary, I feel lucky. It's really rare to hear the truth from the guests instead of compliments. All I care about is your impression." He stared at the woman closely. The woman lowered her head in distress and blinked. "I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else. Please treat it as a little girl's ordinary feelings and forget about it." "This ordinary feeling is very important. Please, please be frank." "Well, please calm down a little bit." The man interrupted suddenly, "This lady is the daughter of my customer, not someone related to the restaurant. So, please laugh it off and forget it. How is it so far?" "No, I'm definitely not criticizing her. I really want to hear her opinion, can I?" Xingcheng scratched the back of his head. Sensing his mood, the man looked at the woman. "What do you think, Ms. Saori (Saori). He's already begging you like this, so just speak up." "Please." Xingcheng lowered his head. "It's so difficult, it has turned into this situation..." She sighed, "Well, do we have to talk now?" "Ok?" "If it's possible, I'd like to go to the store again and try to confirm it." "To my store?" She nodded. -------------------------------- Note:
