Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 542: Things Got

Yang Xiaole followed Ryoko to the Japanese restaurant.

The decoration of this store is quite good, even in later times, it is not too bad.

The room was warm, and Japanese-style music was playing from an old-fashioned record player. Many people in the private room were sitting cross-legged or kneeling drinking.

There were also many people sitting in front of the bar, eating the food freshly prepared by the chef.

After a brief communication, the two were taken to a private room.

Yang Xiaole took off his shoes, went in and sat cross-legged.

Ryoko knelt opposite him.

The waitress came over to take our order.

"Mr. Yang, what would you like to eat?"

After asking, Ryoko said to him.

Yang Xiaole thought about it and realized that he had eaten Japanese food in later lives, but they were all from ordinary shops. He had never been to a high-end shop.

Then he said, "You can make it as you like. Make some of the signature dishes, some of the other dishes, and some wine. You can decide what to drink and don't have to worry about the money. Have more varieties and try the flavors."

Ryoko nodded, then turned to the waiter and started communicating: "Konnijiwa, &#&...￥@*@*&#."

I heard that he ordered a lot of things.

Then he asked, "Mr. Yang, do you want a geisha to come over? She can entertain Mr. Yang!"

Yang Xiaole quickly shook his head: "No need."

His face is so pale and creepy that it affects my appetite just by looking at him.

Hearing him say that, Ryoko briefly communicated with the waiter and he left immediately.

After everyone left, Yang Xiaole looked around the house. It was made of wood and looked pretty good.

At this time, Ryoko was kneeling there, not staring at Yang Xiaole, but her eyes were on the coffee table.

Yang Xiaole retracted his gaze, looked at the other party, and asked: "Why did you agree to let those people come?"

College Students.

In this day and age, you wouldn't be an ordinary person even in Japan.

Most people from foreign language colleges will do translation work, and those with background and ability will naturally work in government departments.

So it won’t be too bad.

Hearing this, Ryoko looked up at him and replied meekly, "I need this money!"

"Oh why?"

Hearing this, the other party did not answer, but remained silent.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole had no interest in asking clearly. It was obvious that the other party didn't want to tell him the reason.

While I was thinking, someone came over to serve the food.

Appetizers and wine.

The appetizer was actually some pickles, shredded radish, vegetable and fruit salad, etc., with some seasonings he couldn't understand.

And the quantities are very small.

Yang Xiaole poured himself a glass of sake and took a sip. The low-alcohol liquor had a fruity taste.

It's ok to drink.

The second step is the soup.

He didn't recognize this thing either, but it tasted like miso and he had eaten it before.

The following dishes were not too slow to arrive.

When we have almost finished eating, we can start eating the next dish.

But the quantity is very small.

Geoduck sashimi, salmon sashimi, snow crab sashimi, abalone...all kinds of sashimi.

They are all small portions.

The sauce is not all mustard, some is caviar.

After sashimi, there is charcoal grilled beef, eel...

Finally, the staple food.

Yang Xiaole nodded secretly while eating. Maybe he was tired of the food in the mainland, and the portions here were smaller, so he felt that the taste was still good.

Ryoko naturally followed behind and ate.

"Hey, Ms. Ryoko, where are you from?"

On weekdays, she doesn't have the opportunity to eat so many high-end Japanese food.

Hearing this, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "I live in Kobe."

"Kobe?"

Yang Xiaole pointed at the charcoal grilled wagyu beef that had just been served and asked, "Is this the place where wagyu beef is produced?"

I've never eaten this in my previous life.

too expensive.

This is the only time I've eaten this in my life.

The taste is really good!
But you can’t eat too much of this. If you do, you’ll get sick of it.

Ryoko nodded: "Yes!"

“I heard this thing drinks milk, listens to music and gives massages. Is that true?”

Ryoko was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head: "I haven't heard of it. Wagyu is mainly about bloodline, not the breeding method."

"Oh, that's how it is!"

Yang Xiaole nodded, "Kobe isn't close to here, right?"

The two of them were chatting casually there.

They found out that Kobe was not very far from Kochi where they were going.

The meal took nearly two hours and cost more than 50 US dollars, but the price is not low.

After all, the current average income is here.

After eating and drinking, the two left the Japanese restaurant.

Looking around, Yang Xiaole asked her to go to a nearby hotel and book a room.

Because there is no KTV, no Internet cafe, and not many entertainment facilities here. The only prosperous thing is the restaurant.

He wasn't very interested in anything else.

As for street prostitutes, he has even less interest in them.

There was a beautiful female college student next to him, and from her appearance, she didn't mind having something happen if necessary.

But he really has no interest in this kind of bus.

Take a taxi to the Imperial Hotel Tokyo.

It is also the most upscale hotel here.

Opened a presidential suite.

I have to say that fawning and bowing are used to the extreme here, but it is not surprising, as the people who stay here are either rich or noble.

What matters is that the fees are high.

I went to the top floor, entered the room, and sent the waiter away.

Yang Xiaole said to Liangzi, "Don't run away! If you run away, the remaining money will be gone. There are three rooms here, choose one and sleep in it. I'm going to take a shower."

After saying that, he walked towards the bathroom.

Yang Xiaole had never stayed in a very high-end hotel in his previous life.

But the two hotels I have stayed in in this life are no worse than those in later generations. One is the Peninsula Hotel, and the other is here.

And it looks more luxurious.

Not to mention anything else, the various crystals inside are incomparable to the glass of later generations.

Ryoko stood in the hall, watching Yang Xiaole take a shower and walk around the room.

I found the smallest room and went in.

Sit there quietly.

Yang Xiaole happily took a hot bath, returned to the house and shouted, "Do you want to take a bath or not? If not, go to bed."

It's winter now, and I don't know if people here have the habit of taking a bath every day.

After that, he went back directly.

Ryoko stood at the door, biting her lip as she watched Yang Xiaole go to the room opposite.

Seeing Yang Xiaole enter the room, he gently stood up and looked outside.

Finally, he carefully left the room.

No sneaking.

Instead, he went to the bathroom to take a shower.

……

Yang Xiaole lay there, watching the other person just go to the bathroom, and didn't look at him again.

If he runs away, it will be troublesome to find him again.

Hua Yourong and I stayed up all night last night, and now I’m actually a little sleepy.

Thinking about tomorrow's plan, whether to take a stroll around the shrine in the evening.

But I don’t know the way.

Prepare to ask Ryoko later.

After more than ten minutes, Yang Xiaole was just about to wait for Ryoko to finish her bath and ask her where the toilet was!

There was a gentle knock on the door.

"Mr. Yang."

"Come in."

Following the sound, the door opened.

Ryoko walked in wrapped in a bath towel with her hair tied up.

Looking at Yang Xiaole lying on the bed, he bit his lip and came to the bed: "Mr. Yang, if I don't serve you well tonight, please forgive me."

After saying that, he untied his bathrobe and went to bed.

Yang Xiaole looked at the other party's bright headlights and shook his head: "No need, just go back to sleep."

These words made Ryoko stunned for a moment.

From the beginning, she didn't think that Yang Xiaole offered such a high price just to be a tour guide.

She also struggled for a long time before making this decision.

So tonight we have to face reality.

"Okay, let's go back. Let me ask you a question. Is the God's Toilet far from here?"

Although he has spring water, it would be embarrassing if he were to be infected with some sexually transmitted disease.

Hearing this, Yoshikawa Ryoko hesitated for a moment, then quickly picked up the bath towel and wrapped herself up.

Then he quickly replied, "It's not very far from here, about two miles."

Yang Xiaole did some calculations in his mind after hearing this.

It’s only about 3.2 kilometers, which is not too far.

Nodded: "Okay, go back to sleep!"

Hearing him say this, Ryoko bent down and bowed, then slowly left the room.

Yang Xiaole watched the other person go back to his room and lie down, then he took back the scan, thinking about dealing with it before leaving.

Now that we are here, how can we not leave some memories?

Without thinking too much, I just lay there and went to sleep.

……

The next morning, Ryoko, dressed neatly, stood at the door and knocked.

When Yang Xiaole got up and opened the door, he saw a lot of food in the room.

No doubt it was a gift from the hotel.

There are quite a few things on the table.

There were rice, miso soup, fish, seaweed, tofu, vegetables, eggs, etc., but the quantity was still not very large as usual.

"You eat first, I'll wash and come right over."

He said something to Ryoko and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When he came back, Ryoko hadn't moved.

After Yang Xiaole sat down, he said, "Didn't I tell you to eat first? Come on, eat quickly! We'll go to the airport later."

The main reason is that women eat too slowly.

He had already seen the other party chewing slowly yesterday.

really.

Although Ryoko was speeding up, she still couldn't keep up.

Fortunately, the other party has a small appetite.

The meal was finished very quickly.

"Okay, let's go!"

Yang Xiaole said hello and led the way out.

Check out and leave.

The two took a taxi to the airport.

The first thing I did was to check the flights to Hong Kong Island.

There is no flight today. The flight to Hong Kong Island is tomorrow morning.

I was originally going to go there in the morning, and if I could catch the train in the afternoon, I would fly back, and then fly directly back to Hong Kong Island.

Now it seems that it is all gone.

But I still bought a flight back around 3pm.

The two waited there until the time came and boarded a flight to Kochi.

On the plane, Ryoko sat by the window, looking out the window like a child.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "You've never been on a plane?"

Ryoko smiled a little embarrassedly: "Well, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Yang."

Yang Xiaole smiled when he heard this: "It's okay!"

Not to mention this era, even most ordinary people in later generations have never been on a plane, naturally because of the price.

However, there are special places where the distance is long and the price of high-speed rail is almost the same as that of airplane.

When it’s on sale, it’s even cheaper than the high-speed rail.

Ryoko smiled and took a breath, sitting there with a quiet look.

The journey is quite long, but the plane takes less than two hours to reach the airport.

Coming out of the airport, this place is very different from Tokyo, like a county town in later generations.

There are also very few central areas.

After coming down, Ryoko naturally went about her work and asked for the address of Red Coral Co., Ltd.

There are no taxis here.

There are buses going there.

Without wasting any time, we finally spent $1 to call a private car to take them there.

The place is not very far away, only about six or seven kilometers away.

And there are mountains everywhere around here.

When we arrived at the place, we found that it was a street close to the sea, and there were many fish vendors nearby.

The two's destination was a block connected to a factory.

There is a hall similar to an exhibition hall here, where many people are busy, and there are various corals in it.

Not just red, there are other colors as well.

Basically, they have been processed and turned into ornaments. These are what we call gem-like red corals.

There are also a small number of corals with beautiful shapes and relatively few flaws kept in glass fish tanks. These are used as ornamental objects.

The corals here are of all kinds, in various colors and shapes.

In addition to corals, there are many pearls, colored stones, natural stones...

This environment cannot reach the level of exhibition halls in later generations.

Many people came here to ask about the price.

Some are bought when traveling, and some are bought wholesale from all over the country, which is similar to the vegetable market.

"Mr. Yang, what do you need?"

After walking around inside for a while, Ryoko asked.

Yang Xiaole looked around and said, "Go ask. I want a top-quality red coral."

Only the best are worthy of his long journey.

However, the reason why the best red coral is expensive is naturally because it is inevitable that there will be flaws in the sea, and the amount of red coral with almost no flaws is extremely rare.

In ancient times, they were all tribute-level items.

Then he said, "I won't talk for a while. Try to bargain for the price. If you can't afford it, just buy it."

Ryoko nodded and looked around before coming to a stall specializing in red coral.

All the stores here belong to Coral Co., Ltd.

Once you enter the store, the items inside are much more upscale.

There are various corals in it, which are of much better quality than those in other places.

"It's so empty, &@&&￥*（@！）)..."

After Ryoko came in, she communicated with the boss.

The man looked at the two of them, smiled and nodded.

Take out a red coral from the display case.

Yang Xiaole looked at it and shook his head.

He wanted the kind of coral trees like those seen in TV dramas, not this short and thick red coral.

Although this thing looks much better than the others.

Ryoko saw him shaking his head and started communicating again.

Yang Xiaole took out several in a row, but he was not satisfied with any of them.

After thinking for a while, he took out five thousand US dollars and put it on the table, then gestured to Ryoko.

So the communication started again.

The man's eyes bulged out when he saw so much money.

After giving instructions to Ryoko, he went straight to make the phone call.

Watching the man on the phone, Ryoko whispered, "The gem-grade red corals here are all stored at the company, waiting to be shipped to all parts of the world, especially to Europe and the United States. I'm going to call and ask now."

Yang Xiaole nodded, not surprised.

Now Europe and the United States are the real fathers of the devils.

After a long while, the man came back and continued to communicate in a chattering manner.

Ryoko whispered in his ear, "Mr. Matsui asked you to go to the company to look at the things. They are all there! In the building behind."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded and agreed.

Naturally, someone drove the car.

The car came to a two-story wooden house, behind which was obviously a factory and warehouse.

When I arrived at the place, I was naturally greeted politely.

Took several samples.

Finally, Yang Xiaole saw a red coral that he had only seen in TV dramas.

very nice.

The prices are outrageous as well.

It comes down to $2.8 per gram, which is nearly twice the price of gold. I have to say that this price is really high.

And this red coral weighs as much as 1320 grams.

The height is 60 cm and the width is nearly 40 cm.

Finally, I got the red coral for $4000.

Next comes, naturally, complex packaging to avoid damage during transportation.

After everything was done, Yang Xiaole carried the huge brocade box out of the company and was taken directly to the airport.

Yang Xiaole was not in a hurry to do anything.

During the communication just now, he already knew from Ryoko that the previous place was the largest distribution center here.

There are many warehouses in that area.

It contains a lot of things.

Next, of course, he let Ryoko take him around the neighborhood and have lunch.

When the time came and there was still more than an hour before takeoff, Yang Xiaole found an opportunity to leave.

……

Ryoko was waiting there, the plane was about to go in early, how come this guy was gone.

But soon she smiled.

Because Yang Xiaole came out from the bathroom.

"Sorry, I had a stomachache and stayed a little too long."

Seeing this, Ryoko smiled and urged, "Hurry up and go, otherwise it will be too late."

Yang Xiaole naturally took the things and got on the plane.

There is a receipt when you buy something, so there is no need to check it carefully.

After getting on the plane, Yang Xiaole smiled and waited for it to take off.

After more than half an hour, the plane soared into the sky.

"Hey, what's going on there? Did something happen?"

Ryoko liked to look out the window, and when she saw thick smoke not far away, she asked curiously.

Yang Xiaole came over to take a look and shook his head: "I don't know, is the forest on fire?"

Hearing this, Ryoko looked at him in confusion.

But it soon disappeared.

Then I put the matter behind me.
