"Open a shop?" Yushan Heren was a little surprised. "Does he have the capital?"
"I'm not sure. Maybe he opened the store independently, or maybe he opened a store together with other people. I didn't ask about these things in detail." Uncle Hei Dou shook his head.
"I had originally planned to transfer my shop to him once his cooking skills surpassed mine, but I didn't expect that he had already opened his own shop before that." Uncle Hei Dou said with some self-mockery.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. If Ebina Koichiro's cooking skills surpassed Uncle Kurodo's before he opened his own business, it would be a bigger blow to Uncle Kurodo.
Although Black Bean Ramen does not have many customers during the day, it is still quite popular at night. Although it is located in an inconspicuous alley, its business is much better than many large stores in core areas.
After talking about the matter of Ebina Koichirō, Uncle Kurodo seemed a lot more relaxed. In fact, he had wanted to find someone to talk to for a long time, but he never had the chance.
I wanted to complain to people several times, but I always failed to finish because of various things. Now, I finally got this serious matter out.
"So, Uncle Kurodo, do you know where Ebina's brother's shop is?" asked Kazuto Yuyama.
Uncle Hei Dou shook his head: "I don't know. He didn't talk to me about it before he left, so I naturally wouldn't ask him. After he left, we even lost contact."
Hearing this, Ebina Nana lowered her head again.
It is natural for Uncle Kuro Bean to be unhappy with Koichiro Ebina, and it is also understandable that he no longer paid attention to Koichiro Ebina's affairs.
However, Nana Ebina was still a little unwilling. She had already found the clue, but it was about to be broken again.
"But what is certain is that it is not in Tokyo," Uncle Hei Dou added.
He didn't mean to vent his anger on others. After all, this happened a long time ago and he was not the type to vent his emotions on others.
"Not in Tokyo?" Ebina Nana was a little surprised. She remembered that before Ebina Koichiro left, he said that he wanted to make a name for himself in Tokyo.
Although Ebina Nana was not very familiar with Ebina Koichiro, she still chose to believe what he said.
"If I were in Tokyo, I would have heard about it. I have some say in Tokyo's catering industry." Uncle Hei Dou said.
This is true. Although restaurants are competitors, they still share a lot of information.
"Then... Mr. Hei Dou, do you know where my brother is going to open a shop?" asked Nana Ebina.
"I don't know about that." Uncle Hei Dou shook his head.
"Has he ever come back?" Yushan Heren suddenly asked.
"Come back?" Uncle Hei Dou tried hard to recall, and seemed to have some impression in his mind.
"I came back once at the beginning of this year and ordered a bowl of seafood noodles in the store. I left after eating. I also came back once three years ago and ordered the same bowl of seafood noodles." said Uncle Hei Dou.
Hayama Kazuto blinked and asked, "Does Ebina Koichiro really like eating seafood noodles so much?"
"Fortunately, I still had a trick up my sleeve and hadn't taught him how to make the giant seafood noodles, otherwise he would have learned all my secret recipes," Uncle Hei Dou added.
"That is to say? He might come back from time to time to try the seafood noodles?" Yushan Heren confirmed.
"Maybe, or there could be other reasons, but even if he came back, we didn't say a word." Uncle Hei Dou suddenly felt a little disappointed.
"Okay, I've told you everything. I'm going to the kitchen to prepare ingredients for dinner." Uncle Hei Dou seemed to be relieved and turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait, wait, Mr. Hei Dou, give me a giant bowl of seafood noodles..." said Ebina Caicai nervously.
Although she did not know where Koichiro Ebina had gone, Nana Ebina also learned a lot of information. She didn't know how to thank Uncle Kuro Bean, so she had to order a bowl of the most expensive ramen.
"Okay, please wait!" Uncle Hei Dou suddenly became excited. The profit from a giant bowl of seafood noodles is quite a lot.
"I'll have four servings of seafood noodles too, but I'll pack mine up and cook it down a little later." Yushan Heren said.
Thinking about the taste of the giant seafood noodles, Kazuto Yuyama thought it would be a good idea to pack some for Shirasaki Hana, Izumi Sagiri, and Yukinoshita Yukino.
"no problem!"
I bought five servings of seafood noodles at once, and my originally gloomy mood was immediately swept away. The profit of one serving was 7,000 to 8,000 yen, and the profit of five servings was almost 40,000 yen.
Uncle Hei Dou works from nine to four in the evening, which means he makes a profit of about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, most of which comes from alcohol.
Uncle Hei Dou loves the idea of making huge profits by just making a few bowls of noodles.
Doma Mai's expression was a little dazed. You all are eating seafood noodles, and I'm the only one eating vegetable ramen?
Although she was very interested in the seafood noodles, she was short of money.
If she had money, Domama would definitely try her best and order a giant bowl of seafood noodles.
However, the previous 20,000 yen pocket money was almost used up, and this week's pocket money was only 5,000 yen, so Doma Yui could only eat noodles to fill her stomach.
Chapter 612 No, No Couple Room
I have to say that on this trip to Tokyo, Nana Ebina brought a lot of Fukuzawa Yukichi.
Unlike the 18,800 yen that Koichiro Ebina had worked hard to scrape together to pay the bill, Nana Ebina's wallet was filled with a stack of Fukuzawa Yukichi notes.
Although it wasn't too thick, it was about twenty sheets, which made Domama's eyes almost pop out.
If Kazuto Yushan hadn't paid in advance, I'm afraid Nana Ebina would have paid for all four bowls of food made by Kazuto Yushan. However, Kazuto Yushan didn't pay for Nana Ebina. After all, it was only the first day they met.
The giant seafood noodles of Ebina Nana were served later than the assorted vegetable ramen at Domamiya, and the portion was bigger than that at Domamiya, but it was eaten faster than Domamiya.
Not only that, Doma Mai and Hayama Kazuto did not show any sign of wolfing down the food from Ebina Nana. Instead, Doma Mai sped up her eating and almost choked, causing Hayama Kazuto to blink.
After the two finished eating, Yushan and Ren went to the front desk to get the packaged seafood noodles and prepared to leave.
……
After getting in the car, Yushan Kazuto gave four servings of seafood noodles to Doma Mai and asked her to help carry them.
Looking at the four huge servings of seafood noodles in her hand and comparing them with the mixed vegetable ramen she had eaten before, Doma Mai suddenly felt a deep psychological imbalance.
But there was nothing he could do. None of these four servings of seafood noodles belonged to him, and even if one of them belonged to him, Domama Mai could not eat any more.
"Ebina, which hotel are you staying in?" asked Hayama Kazuto.
"Hotel?" Ebina Nana was stunned and blushed: "I don't have a reservation."
"Uh..." Yushan Kazuto was a little stunned. You came to Tokyo from Akita without booking a hotel?
"Why don't you live near the train station? That way it will be more convenient for you to go back to Akita tomorrow." Yushan Kazuto said.
Without even thinking, Ebina Nana nodded: "I'll listen to you, Senior Yushan."
To be honest, Nana Ebina rarely has her own opinions, and most of the time she chooses other people's suggestions.
Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink. Why did you make it sound like we were going to get a room?
……
The car stopped at Shinmachi Apartments. "Mamoru-chan, you should take the giant seafood noodles up first. If you wait any longer, they will all clumped together."
Doma Yui looked at Hayama Kazuto and Ebina Nana who was sitting in the back seat with her head down. Her eyes flickered a little, but she still said, "Senior Kazuto, please come back soon."
"I'll take Ebina to the hotel and come back soon." Yushan Kazuto nodded.
There was nothing much Doma Mai could say about this, so she took four bowls of seafood noodles and went downstairs.
Nana Ebina looked at Doma's back and couldn't help asking, "Senior Yuyama, do you and Doma live in this apartment?"
"Yes, we all live in Shinmachi Apartment." Hayama Kazuto nodded, "If you come to Tokyo to study, you can also rent this apartment. The price is quite favorable."
Yesterday, the apartment lent a small cart to Yushan Kazuto, and Yushan Kazuto was also generous in advertising the apartment.
Ebina Nana secretly took note of it.
……
hotel.
"No, no couple's room, just a single room, a single room will do. I don't live here."
After a lot of persuasion, Yushan and Rencai rejected the front desk's sales pitch. Since Christmas was approaching, the hotel launched a special Christmas couple room.
In addition to the room being decorated with a Christmas atmosphere, there are even props such as antlers and Christmas costumes prepared in the room.
When Nana Ebina heard this, she blushed and hid aside, which made the receptionist misunderstand her thoughts and thought she was just shy.
Fortunately, Kazuto Yuyama firmly rejected the front desk staff's suggestion, otherwise if Nana Ebina stayed alone in the couple's room, she would probably not be able to sleep all night.
"The room is on the sixth floor. Do you need me to take you upstairs?" asked Yushan Heren.
"if you can……"
Yushan Heren blinked. This junior girl was really rude. He just asked casually, but he didn't expect you to agree. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't she say, "No, thank you, senior"?
If a little girl like you and I go into the room and then take the elevator down right away, won't people think we're going too fast?
Although he was somewhat reluctant, he was the one who asked after all, so Yushan and others could only consider themselves unlucky and regard themselves as having suffered a loss.
After sending Ebina Nana into the room, Hayama Kazuto wanted to leave, but Ebina Nana stopped Hayama Kazuto and said, "Senior Hayama, wait a moment."
"Is there anything else?" Yushan Heren turned around.
Nana Ebina took out two bottles of sake from her small suitcase, which were the best sake from Akita.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. No wonder Ebina Nana asked him to come up together.
It would be absolutely impossible for Nana Ebina to open her suitcase in public. After all, there were some underwear in the suitcase. If others saw it, Nana Ebina would be shy for a whole year.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I don't drink." Yushan Heren blinked and said.
He truly doesn't drink alcohol. Yushan Kazuto himself doesn't know what he would do if he drank even a little.
"But...but." Ebina Nana bit her lip. She didn't know how to repay Yushan Kazuto. Yushan Kazuto helped her once at school and then helped her again.
I found clues about Ebina Koichiro and now he has booked a hotel for her.
She originally planned to pay for Hayama Kazuto, but Hayama Kazuto had already paid for it. Ebina Nana felt that she had to do something, otherwise her conscience would be uneasy.
Seeing the troubled look on Ebina Nana's face, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink: "Okay, I'll take the two bottles of wine, you don't have to be embarrassed."
"Really?" Ebina Nana raised her head and looked at Hayama Kazuto.
"Well, although I don't drink, I'm going to visit someone next week. I'd like to take these two bottles of wine as a casual gift. You shouldn't mind, right?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"No, it's okay." Ebina Nana shook her head and handed the two bottles of wine to Yushan Kazuto.
Yushan Heren took the wine and shook it slightly. The wine was crystal clear. It was the freshest Akita wine, probably brewed from grains harvested in autumn.
Unlike white wine which becomes more mellow as it ages, sake is all about "freshness". The fresher the sake, the better it tastes!
Such fresh Akita wine is hard to buy even in Akita Prefecture. Yushan Kazuto looked at Ebina Nana and said, "Then I will accept it without hesitation."
"Thank you for troubling Senior Yushan with today's matters." Ebina Nana bowed.
"It's just a favor."
Chapter 613 If you have nowhere to go on Christmas, you can call me
Nana Ebina still bent her body. For Yushan Kazuto, it was just a casual help, but for Nana Ebina, this matter was of great significance.
Looking at the protruding part of Ebina Nana, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink and hurriedly asked, "By the way, Ebina, are you still planning to apply for Fengnosaki?"
Nana Ebina finally straightened up, looked at Hayama Kazuto, her face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head and nodded slightly.
"But your brother is no longer in Tokyo, and you can't find him even if you are studying in Tokyo," said Yushan Kazuto.
Ebina Nana blinked her eyes repeatedly, organized her words a little, and said, "B-but my brother said that he, he will make a name for himself in Tokyo. I believe that he, he will still return to Tokyo."
"And, the boss of Black Bean also said that every once in a while, my brother would go to Black Bean Ramen to eat seafood noodles..."
Ebina Nana's voice became smaller and smaller. By the end, Yushan and others could no longer hear her. They could only watch Ebina Nana mutter with her head down. When she finished speaking, they hurriedly said:
"The deviation value requirements for Toyo-no-saki are quite high, and the entrance exam is also quite difficult. If you really decide to take the Toyo-no-saki exam, you must prepare well after returning to Akita."
Nana Ebina blushed, looked at Hayama Kazuto, and nodded.
Yushan Heren smiled, and with the idea of sending the Buddha to the west, he walked to the window and pointed to a building not far away.
"That's the nearest train station. From there you can take the train directly to Tokyo Station, which is only two train stops away. If you want to fly home, it's recommended that you take the train to Tokyo Station first and then transfer."
"I...I understand." Ebina Nana nodded.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. My two cousins are waiting for me at home." Yushan Heren said with a smile.
"Senior Yu, Yushan..."
Kazuto Hayama had already walked out of the room quickly. Although Nana Ebina wanted to call out to Kazuto Hayama, her voice couldn't be raised loud enough.
Looking at the disappearing back of Yushan Kazuto, Ebina Nana suddenly felt a sense of loss.
"Did you call me just now? I seemed to hear a sound?" A figure reappeared in front of Ebina Nana, and a smile appeared on Ebina Nana's face, a smile of surprise.
