Chapter 44.
Japanese vice consul general in Shanghai, also surnamed Iwai, should be the founder of that historically familiar Iwai public house Iwai Eiichi.
This is the head of intelligence of the Japanese Foreign Ministry in Shanghai, experienced in intelligence, very cunning, China pass, extremely difficult to deal with.
With Cheng Mo’s current segment, he is definitely not a match for this guy, and of course, he can’t get in touch with him now.
Iwai Yingyi’s wife is called Sachiko, she has been living in Shanghai for many years, if she doesn’t wear a kimono, she can basically be seen as an ordinary rich family’s wife.
And she can speak Chinese, Cheng Mo and Xu Qinghe followed all the way, saw that he and the businessmen are barrier-free communication, do not need any translation, and even English is also spoken well.
It’s really worthy of being a diplomat’s wife.
Shopping, eating, doing hair and beauty, but all women can’t get away from these three things, especially beauty, this is something fashionable, only rich noblewomen will enjoy.
This cut a double eyelid, you need a big yellow fish, such consumption, not ordinary people can afford.
A perm is also quite a lot of money.
She also bought a lot of things, besides what she ate and used herself, there were also men’s belts and shoes as well as ties and so on.
It should have been purchased for her husband, Eiichi Iwai.
From 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., from Nanjing Road to Fuzhou Road to the Bund, almost all the places that could be shopped in the Eastern District of the Public Concession had been shopped.
Cheng Mo and Xu Qinghe two big men did not buy anything, just follow the back, but also tired enough, but people, when they go back, big bag, small bag carrying, still in good spirits.
There are no accidents, and there will be no accidents, after all, Iwai’s wife is just a housewife, whether it is the SH City Party Department or the Junta’s hijacking team, or the civilian spontaneous anti-Japanese elements, will not put such a woman as a target.
You just kill or kidnap Mrs. Iwai, and it’s not like you can have any kind of impact on the whole war situation, but instead, you will create a topic for the Japanese side to hype up their own victim’s speech.
This is that the loss outweighs the gain, of course, the police department of the Ministry of Public Works Bureau sent people to follow, but also afraid of the rash to do something stupid, as well as to prevent sudden and unexpected things.
No one wanted to start a diplomatic incident.
Seeing Mrs. Iwai’s car pass through the Sichuan Road Bridge and enter the Hongkou Day Control Area, Cheng Mo and Xu Qinghe also breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the Old Gates Capture Room.
“Old Xu, you taught me a lot today, find a pavilion after work later, my treat.” Cheng Mo felt that this Xu Qinghe was still a good person, so he planned to make a deeper friendship.
“Thank you chief Cheng, forget it today, I promised to go home and have dinner with my wife and kids, I’ll have the chance later.” Xu Qinghe politely refused.
Cheng Mo did not know what reason the other party refused himself, but did not insist, after work, in a stationery store to buy a pint of ink and also manuscript paper, the manuscript paper at home were almost used by him.
In the evening, according to the agreed time, went to his sister Cheng Hua a phone call.
“Shanghai Working Committee?”
“Yes, it’s an organization under the leadership of Mr. Du, you only need to know this, this weekend, there will be an arrangement to send a batch of supplies into the orphan camp, at that time, you will go in as a volunteer to deliver the supplies.” Cheng Hua explained.
“Then where should I go to find them?”
“Before you go tomorrow morning, you go home.” Cheng Hua said.
“Good.” Cheng Mo thought for a moment and nodded his head in agreement, he still had an appointment with Su Mo’er on the weekend, so if it wasn’t possible, he would have to find another time.
The matter of entering the orphaned military camp was more important.
This “Shanghai Working Committee” Cheng Mo has the impression that after the lease became an island, some of the senior members of the Kuomintang who stayed in Shanghai set up a working organization, including the head of the SH City Party Department, Wu Kaixian, Dai Yunong seems to be one of the committee members, and his cheap brother-in-law, Yang Hu, is a member of the committee, and then Mr. Du, a big brother of the Qing Gang, was elected as the chairman of the committee.
The “Shanghai Working Committee” was also responsible for raising and distributing the food, drinks, and pay for the orphaned military camp.
This was in fact a semi-underground organization, which ended only after the Japanese occupied the Concession.
Newspaper news, the Japanese army and the national army defending Nanjing city in Yuhuatai, China Gate and other places in the fierce battle, the defending general Tang Shengzhi to the domestic and foreign issued a telegram, issued a “with Nanjing to survive” oath.
If it is really able to die in Nanjing against the Japanese, but also not to have the back of things, afraid of is that these people are shouting good, after shouting, buttocks a turn, their own slipped faster than anyone else.
Day is more and more cold, that cold wind straight to the human bone gap turn.
Blowing the heart are cold, cold.
In a flash, Cheng Mo moved to a new home, to go to work in the old gate arrest room has been three days.
Tomorrow is the weekend.
Early in the morning after work, Cheng Mo came over to wait for Su Moer at the entrance of Jiren Hospital, and in the evening, they made an appointment to have dinner together, this time it was not a formal dinner.
Cheng Mo chose a White Russian restaurant called Fei Yaq.
This borscht is very good, with enough material, the price is not expensive, is open in the inside of the lane, if you eat need to make a reservation.
Old Xu introduced, otherwise, he really can not find such a good taste, privacy and good restaurant.
Borscht, Kiev steak, Russian potato salad, black caviar.
Except for the black caviar, the other three dishes have basically been localized. If the White Russian restaurant had only served Russians and Westerners in Shanghai, it would have been out of business long ago.
You have to adapt to the local conditions and make dishes that suit the local tastes, and many of the ingredients may not be available in China, so you have to use substitutes.
In fact, the taste that was made was still good, and it was still good for the people of the country to taste it once in a while.
“Mor, try, the black caviar here is good, I know you studied in France, you should be able to eat it?”
“Although I studied in France, but this black caviar has only been eaten once or twice, too expensive, if not for other people’s invitation, I really don’t want to eat.” Su Moer said with heartache.
“Okay, then next time we won’t eat it.” Cheng Mo hemmed and hawed, looking like, his own daughter-in-law is still a good at living.
“This pork chop is good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the cook here is very good, in the future, we can often come over, it’s delicious and not expensive, it’s not worse than the Red House’s.” Cheng Mo said.
“Well, how did you find this restaurant?” Su Moer nodded, she also did think it was good, with her family background, going to the Red House to eat a western food was not something particularly extravagant.
“A colleague of mine told me, there’s nothing he doesn’t know about this Public Rent Area East.”
“By the way, my parents know about the two of us, and asked you to come up to the house with me for dinner tomorrow?” Su Mo’er said with a red face.
“At noon or in the evening?”
“Depends on when you are free.” Su Moer said as she lowered her head and ate her potato salad.
“Evening, during the day my sister is looking for me for something.” Cheng Mo found an excuse and put it off, tomorrow he had to go to the Lone Army Camp, naturally he couldn’t go to Su’s house for lunch.
“Well, that’s fine, then you are free in the afternoon, accompany me to the department store to buy something?” Su Mo’er’s shell teeth lightly biting said.
“First time at the door, I should buy some gifts, I don’t know what uncle and aunt like?” Cheng Mo immediately understood what Su Moer meant.
“My dad doesn’t have any preferences, just love drinking tea, you buy him a can of tea well, Mao Jian’er will do, my mom she usually doesn’t have any preferences, just fascinated by opera, especially Peking Opera and Yue Opera, her favorite is Boss Mei’s The Drunken Concubine and Four Langs Visiting Mother.” Su Mo’er said.
“Uncle’s gift is simple, but auntie this can be difficult, I can’t sing opera, even if I can, that can’t be compared with the coal boss ……”
“Stupid, you can buy a record of Boss Mei and give it to my mom not.” Su Mu’er blanked Cheng Mo.
“Hehehe ……” Cheng Mo smiled triumphantly, how could he not see, since Su Mu’er is so pointing to the clear, must have thought about it a long time ago, but he really can’t be too smart, or else, wouldn’t it be letting down a piece of the heart of a good person.
After dinner, there is still time, Cheng Mo accompanied Su Moer on the Bund walked for a while, the driver Lao Hu just drove the car behind.
If not press the horn to urge, it is estimated that the two can walk on the Bund another round trip.
The car, reluctant to part with a wave.
Cheng Mo this is wrapped in a windbreaker, raised his hand and called a yellow car, he had to hurry home to catch up with the manuscript.
The first thing that I want to do is to ask for the favorites!
