Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Ding ding, ding ding...

The phone keeps ringing.

I vaguely remember that not many people knew the number here.

Ye Shan hesitated for a moment and walked out of the room.

"Hey."

The call was connected, but there was only a beep on the other end.

Ye Shan frowned.

Only Ye Ying and Matsubara Rinko know this number.

Ye Ying has already gone to the Red Country and should still be on the boat at this time, so it is impossible for her to call her.

So it can only be Rinko Matsubara.

Thinking that there might be something urgent, Ye Shan called back immediately.

"dudu..."

There was a busy tone, and the other party was obviously on the phone.

I thought it was Rinko Matsubara calling again.

Ye Shan hung up the phone and didn't call again, waiting quietly.

Time passed slowly.

After a while, the phone still didn't ring.

Ye Shan called again.

This time the line was not busy and the call was connected quickly.

"Hey, who are you?"

"What did you call about just now?"

"Sister Shan, you are here."

Matsubara Rinko quickly said: "I thought you were not here..."

"What on earth is going on!"

Ye Shan interrupted her coldly: "It's okay, I'm hanging up."

"Something's going on..."

Matsubara Rinko answered truthfully: "Mr. He called to ask if there are any flights to the Red Country from Edo Airport within 24 hours..."

Mr. He?

Ye Shan was in a daze for a moment before she realized that this was referring to He Yuzhu, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

If you ask about flights, it is likely that you want to fly back to the Red Country.

Is he still in Japan?

But if you are still in Japan, wouldn't it be more convenient to go directly to Edo Airport to ask?

Ye Shan was a little confused and asked hurriedly: "Do you know where he is?"

Although I don't understand why He Yuzhu specifically called to ask this question, from his behavior, it is clear that he wants to take a plane back to the Red Country. This also means that I can see him again.

Although she was determined to forget him, Ye Shan couldn't help but want to know more when she heard news about him.

"I didn't ask Mr. He's exact location. He called me at first to ask for the phone number of Edo Airport. I said I didn't know, but I could help him check it."

"Then he said that once he found the phone, he would ask about the flight."

"Later, I found the airport's phone number and asked about the flight situation. I planned to tell you about this, so I called the number you left. Unexpectedly, the call didn't go through. I thought you were not there, and just as I hung up the phone, Mr. He called..."

Rinko Matsubara described the process in detail, but Ye Shan was not very interested.

Her brows were furrowed. For the first time, she felt that Rinko Matsubara's meticulous attitude was quite annoying.

"What else did he say? By the way, are there any flights from Edo Airport to the Red Country within 24 hours?"

"I called the airport and they said there were no flights within 24 hours."

Matsubara Rinko said: "I told Mr. He about this, and he said he wanted you to help him with something else - he needed the most advanced coke oven design drawings and photos, and he wanted to send them to the Red Country via cargo ship."

"That's all, nothing else. I wanted to tell you later, but I didn't expect you to call me."

Ye Shan did not hear what Rinko Matsubara said next. She just felt uncomfortable in her heart, as if a big stone was pressing on her chest.

If I had received Rinko Matsubara's call earlier, would things have turned out differently?

He Yuzhu might still be in Japan, or he might have already left. Anyway, I have no idea where he is. If I had flight information, I should be able to meet him at the airport.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Ye Shan missed the opportunity again. She felt mixed emotions. She didn't know whether it was good or bad. She only knew that she felt extremely heavy, full of loss and sadness.

"Sister Shan..."

The other party was silent for a while, then hesitantly said, "I have never heard of the design drawings of a thing called a coke oven that Mr. He mentioned. Do you know what it is? Do you want to call him and ask him clearly?"

"His phone number?"

This sentence made Ye Shan's heart beat a few times, and her tone was anxious, "What you just said is that you have his contact information, right?"

"Well, he did give me a phone number before, hoping that I would call him back after checking the tickets." Song Yuan explained, "Maybe our conversation delayed the time, so he contacted me first..."

Taking a deep breath, Ye Shan clenched her fists, thought for a moment, and gritted her teeth: "Then call him right now and tell him that there is no direct flight from Edo Airport to the Red Country, but he can fly back from Narita Airport."

"Hey? Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Isn't this misleading people?" Song Yuan felt puzzled by such an arrangement.

"Don't think too much, just do as I say, I'll take care of the rest myself."

Her tone turned cold, "Remember to ask him where he is now."

Song Yuan curled his lips, and actually wanted to ask why he didn't speak up himself, but seeing Ye Shan's tough attitude, he didn't say anything more. After hanging up the conversation, although he still had doubts, thinking that he was not the one who would bear the final responsibility, Song Yuan still dialed the number as instructed.

In the study,

He Yuzhu felt a little annoyed after the conversation ended because he had waited for a long time but received no reply. He guessed that the other party might have been delayed in checking the flight, so he took the initiative to dial the number provided by the other party.

He was troubled by the information that he could not return to the Red Country by direct flight from Edo, and then he talked about the coke oven sketch.

I had no choice but to contact Lao Guo to help me deal with the problem. Unfortunately, Lao Guo was not in Japan at the moment but stayed in China, so this plan could not be implemented. At this time, there seemed to be only one choice left in front of me - but it was too much to bother myself with such a small matter.

However, if I don’t ask my aunt for help and Lao Guo cannot be contacted in Beijing, there is really no other way.

He hesitated for a moment.

He Yuzhu gritted his teeth, thinking that a lot of time had already been wasted. Even if he entered the country and took a bus back now, it would be too late.

Forget it, no matter whether it is exaggerated or not.

After making the decision.

He Yuzhu plans to go directly to the office in Hong Kong.

At that time, the Internet was not as developed as it is now, and communication was not very convenient.

On the surface, Hong Kong is under the jurisdiction of England, and there are no international long-distance calls between Hong Kong and the red mainland.

Therefore, if you want to contact the country, you can only go through the office.

Jingle Bell.....

Just as he was about to go out, the phone suddenly rang. He Yuzhu wondered who was calling and picked up the phone.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. He?"

The voice sounds familiar, we just talked about it.

He Yuzhu recognized the other party's voice, but before asking for the name, he politely said, "It's me. What's the matter? Also, I'm sorry for not asking your name after calling you several times."

"I should introduce myself first. Sorry for the rudeness."

Rinko Matsubara was a little nervous and said quickly: "My name is Rinko Matsubara, you can call me Rinko, I am Sister Shan's assistant, yes, assistant."

Rinko Matsubara!

He Yuzhu silently repeated it in his mind and remembered it, then asked: "What's the matter with calling me? I forgot to tell you, this is not my phone, I borrowed it from someone else, I'm leaving soon."

"okay, got it."

Matsubara Rinko immediately responded and explained: "Mr. He, actually, you were asking if there were flights from Edo Airport to the Red Continent."

"I guess this matter is very important to you, so after hanging up the phone, I checked Narita International Airport and Itami International Airport and found out that Narita Airport has flights to Beijing..."

Narita Airport?

He Yuzhu was stunned and patted his head with his hand.

I have flown to Japan several times and have become accustomed to entering the country from Haneda Airport.

I am too stubborn and ignore the fact that there are actually several international airports to choose from in Japan.

It was a nice surprise to find that there were direct flights from Narita Airport to Keiichi.

"Ms. Rinko, thank you for calling and reminding me. You helped me solve a problem."

He Yuzhu said with genuine gratitude.

"Mr. He, you are too polite. This is our job. We have received a lot of help from you before."

Rinko Matsubara's words sounded a bit incoherent, and she felt a little unsure.

This news is of great significance to He Yuzhu, but it is actually false information. If he finds out the truth, the situation may become very embarrassing.

At this moment, Rinko Matsubara was having a headache about how to explain to Ye Shan, and was also wondering why Ye Shan asked her to make up such a flight schedule.

"Anyway, thank you so much."

He Yuzhu expressed his gratitude again and asked, "Do you know when that flight will take off?"

When?

Rinko Matsubara was a little panicked for a moment, because Ye Shan only asked her to lie and say there was such a flight, but did not provide her with a specific departure time.

"Probably... it should be eight o'clock tomorrow morning..."

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and just pick a time.

He Yuzhu once helped to abolish an improper plan and was able to break free from the shackles and live a free life; it was also with his help that the instant noodle sales project could proceed smoothly, allowing him to enjoy unprecedented deliciousness. These things made Matsubara Rinko always full of admiration for him.

Although Ye Shan promised that she would take all the responsibilities, she was the one who actually lied, which made Matsubara Rinko feel very embarrassed and anxious, as if she had betrayed him.

"Eight o'clock in the morning?"

He Yuzhu relaxed a little after learning the time. He was afraid that the other party would leave tonight, which would not save time. Now it seems that leaving at 8 o'clock the next day is not a bad idea, and we can reach the capital before noon.

At the same time, he knew that the cargo ship that Kana and Yukiko Nakamori were on would probably dock at Tianjin Port tomorrow evening, so the time on both sides would be just right.

"Mr. He, where are you now?"

Not wanting to dwell on this issue any longer, and considering Ye Shan's previous instructions, Matsubara Rinko quickly changed the subject.

"I noticed that the phone number you provided has an area code. Does that mean you are not in Japan right now? In that case, it might be a little troublesome to buy a plane ticket. Do you need our help?"

"I'm currently in Hong Kong, so it's really inconvenient for me to book a ticket myself. I'll trouble you guys."
