Cheng Qianfan's hands were inserted into his windbreaker pocket, and a cool breeze blew, blew away the smoke in front of him.
Just this morning, Seishiro Itagaki came to the welcome hotel to visit Wang Baihai.
Wang attached great importance to Seishiro Itagaki's visit and personally led all colleagues of the negotiation team to greet him in the auditorium of the Welcoming Hotel.
This was also the first time Cheng Qianfan saw this infamous Japanese general.
Wang Baihai and his wife held a closed-door meeting with Chen Nanhai, Zhou Liang, Chu Mingyu and other "strong officials" and Japanese personnel represented by Seishiro Itagaki.
Afterwards, Cheng Qianfan got news from Chu Mingyu that the "Big Three" meeting will be officially held at the Ying Hotel tomorrow.
This is a very important intelligence.
Previously, Cheng Qianfan had been speculating where the Japanese would arrange the meeting site of the "Big Three" meeting, whether it was the welcome hotel where Wang Baihai was now staying, or the Taiping Road Hotel where Liang Hongzhi and Wang Keming were staying, or the Shaoguan Road Dongyang Hotel where Japanese generals such as Seishirou Itagaki, or the Japanese would arrange other meeting sites.
Now, through what Chu Mingyu said casually, he had mastered this secret information.
Although there is no contact with Qingdao Station, Cheng Qianfan knows that Qingdao Station must be carrying out secret operations to undermine the meeting and punish traitors.
The determination of the meeting location of the 'Big Three' meeting is obviously the most important information for Qingdao Station.
Cheng Qianfan shook his head, he had no way to send this information out.
He now urgently felt the disadvantages of lack of necessary connections with other sites of the Military Control Commission.
The most important thing is that he is now trapped in the welcome hotel and cannot go out. Otherwise, he would have a way to report this key information to the Chongqing Bureau Headquarters through Zhou Ru in Shanghai.
"Mr. Cheng, the newspaper you want."
A waiter delivered a stack of newspapers.
A steaming cup of coffee was also delivered with the newspaper.
"Thank you." Cheng Qianfan nodded politely.
He just sat on the small sofa by the window, savoring coffee, and reading the newspaper casually.
The newspapers that can be delivered to the welcome hotel are naturally all pro-Japanese newspapers.
This is also why Cheng Qianfan had previously told Taozi to buy a search advertisement in a big newspaper for pro-Japanese prosecution after coming to Qingdao.
Cheng Qianfan keenly noticed a detail, as if to create an atmosphere of respecting Wang Baihai, Qingdao's pro-Japanese newspapers have recently begun to report on the peaceful route of Wang Baihai. The most worth mentioning is that when these newspapers mentioned Wang Baihai, they changed the previous title of "Wang Zhaoming" and changed it to "Mr. Wang Baihai" to show respect.
A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. The Japanese were very good at putting superficial efforts in such details. No wonder Wang Baihai seemed to be in a very good mood these two days.
Suddenly, Cheng Qianfan's eyes stopped at the Qingdao Peace Daily.
Among the many advertisements in today's advertising page of Qingdao Peace Daily, he saw an advertisement for finding people in an inconspicuous corner.
"Mr. Cui Lu from Hangzhou is looking for Mr. Shi Kaiyi, the fourth cousin of Jimo. If Mr. Shi sees this advertisement, please go to No. 25 Yokosuka Town to meet him first. The hotel phone number is 4196."
Cheng Qianfan was overjoyed:
The peach is here!
On the 25th day of Yokosuka Town, Cheng Qianfan came to Qingdao, and asked the staff to help him find a travel note about Qingdao on the grounds that he was bored and asked for a map of Qingdao.
He immediately knew where Yokosuka Town was. This place was called "Kir Street" during the German occupation period. After the Japanese occupied Qingdao, they renamed the road to "Yoksuka Town".
Cheng Qianfan gently tapped the coffee table with his fingers. He was thinking about how to create an opportunity to go out and get in touch with Taozi.
...
"Where is Qianfan? He didn't see him leaving the room. It's not that he was seasick and hadn't recovered yet." Chu Mingyu put down the newspaper in his hand and asked Liu Xia who was pouring tea.
"He said he had no appetite because of seasickness before, so he had to make up for it now." Liu Xia smiled, "I went to his place in the morning and saw him studying the food in Qingdao."
"Qingdao's food?" Chu Mingyu immediately became interested when he heard this.
He is a very happy person by nature, including fine wine and beautiful women, famous cars and delicious food, chess and cards, and is very good at everything and is happy about everything.
Especially in the food dish, Chu Mingyu is even more a gourmet.
Hearing Liu Xia say that Cheng Qianfan was studying Qingdao food, he couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect this kid to be a greedy guy. I want to see what he has done behind closed doors."
As he said that, he couldn't wait to put down the newspaper and leave after Cheng Qianfan.
...
Hearing the knock on the door, Cheng Qianfan took out a travel note from the drawer, turned to a carefully prepared page, placed the travel note on the coffee table, and then walked over to open the door.
"Uncle Chu."
"I heard from Liu Xia that you are alone in the room and studying some delicious food." Chu Mingyu said with a smile.
"Sister Xia's words are too exaggerated." Cheng Qianfan pretended to glar at Liu Xia and said embarrassedly.
"The food needs to be tasted in person, and you can find out what you can do behind closed doors." Chu Mingyu walked to the sofa and saw the travel notes on the coffee table.
He picked it up and looked at it casually, then showed a shocked expression, then frowned, "I don't know what to say, a foreigner knows how to point fingers at Chinese food."
This travel notes were written by a German named Merkel who once lived in Qingdao. This person commented on what he believed to be the top ten delicacies in Qingdao.
"I was bored and asked the hotel waiter to pick up some newspapers and magazines to read." Cheng Qianfan explained.
"Some things, foreign devils are indeed very advanced. We need to learn from them. Some things passed down by our ancestors do not understand, and they still talk nonsense if they don't understand." Chu Mingyu said seriously, "So, we must keep our eyes open and not blindly admire foreign devils."
"Uncle taught me a lesson." Cheng Qianfan blushed and put away the guerrilla that had been carefully read by himself and even marked with a pencil.
"We Chinese have invented cooking methods such as stir-frying (frying, stir-frying), roasting (stewing, stewing, braising), frying (stripping), frying (cooking), boiling (blanking, stewing, stewing), steaming, roasting (marinating, smoked, air-dried), cold stirring, and drizzling." Speaking of eating, Chu Mingyu became interested and had a more say, "What are the delicious things for foreign devils? Just back and forth, that's all the rest of our ancestors' play."
"You don't know that when I was abroad, I frowned when I looked at the food."
"Maybe because Qingdao was occupied by the Germans for a long time, this actually makes it more popular for food that suits the tastes of foreign devils." Liu Xia said from the side.
Cheng Qianfan looked at Liu Xia calmly and cheered in his heart. Liu Xia's words were simply a touch of sensation.
As expected.
"That's wrong." Chu Mingyu shook his head, "There are so many delicious food in Qingdao. I remember that I had selected the top ten hotels in the past few years."
As he said that, Chu Mingyu thought about it, and recalled with his fingers, "There are Shunxing Building, Yadong Hotel, Jufu Building, Chunhe Building, Donghua Hotel, Dahua Hotel, Houdefu, Sanyang Building, Gongji Building, and Yingji Building."
"I didn't expect that Uncle Chu had never been to Qingdao and actually got the food in Qingdao." Cheng Qianfan exclaimed.
"Who said I had never been to Qingdao?" Chu Mingyu smiled. "Once I returned from Europa, I was docked in Qingdao. I still remember that time I went to Shunxinglou for a big meal and tasted our Chinese delicacies. Finally, I made up for those who were owed abroad."
(Shunxing Building of the Republic of China)
Speaking of the delicious food in Shunxinglou, Chu Mingyu talked about it very well and talked to his two nephews, saying such as steamed bird's nest, soup bird's nest, braised shark fin, chopped shark fin, soup tweed fungus and other signature dishes in Shunxinglou.
...
Cheng Qianfan was so sensible that he even drooled. He couldn't help but sigh, "I've heard from my uncle that I've already had my mouth and mouth, and I wish I could have wings and go out for a big meal."
"What is this? Eat it if you want to." Chu Mingyu laughed, "This person must not owe his stomach. Only when his stomach is beautiful will he be energetic."
"Secretary-General, look, Qianfan is drooling." Liu Xia chuckled.
Cheng Qianfan looked at Liu Xia embarrassedly and smiled, "It's obviously Sister Xia who is greedy, but she still says to me."
"I just want to taste the soup of Tremella in Shunxing Building." Liu Xia smiled, "Brother Fan, you want to eat all the top ten famous buildings in Qingdao."
"You two, what's so embarrassing to be greedy?" Chu Mingyu smiled. "The meeting will be held tomorrow. Some of them are busy later. Just now, you can go out to find food."
"I'm asking someone to prepare a car now. Today I'll be in charge. I'll invite Uncle Chu and Sister Xia to have a feast." Cheng Qianfan said happily.
"I won't go, you two will go by yourself." Chu Mingyu shook his head, "I'll be busy tomorrow, and Mr. Xu Wang wants to find me in the afternoon."
Seeing Cheng Qianfan and Liu Xia both showed wild expressions, he smiled and said, "You young people go by themselves, it is rare to come to Qingdao to lie down, go out to taste the food, comfort Wudian Temple, and then go shopping."
As he said that, he waved his hand, "You are on vacation today. As long as the expenses are not excessive, you can come back and reimburse it."
Cheng Qianfan and Liu Xia were overjoyed.
"I'll go call a taxi now." Liu Xia said happily, "I've heard about Feidi Street for a long time, and I'm going to have a good time today."
"Can it be more prosperous than Nanjing Road in Shanghai?" Cheng Qianfan said with a smile without believing it.
"What do you know about my daughter's place to visit?" Liu Xia glanced at me and went out to call for a car.
Cheng Qianfan smiled embarrassedly, but Chu Mingyu laughed loudly.
Cheng Qianfan pretended to touch his nose, and saw Liu Xia leaving his back, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
The entourage is not allowed to go out. Japanese personnel blocked the entrance of the lobby on the first floor. Liu Xia didn't even know?
He guessed that Liu Xia would come back soon.
Sure enough, Liu Xia soon returned in disappointment and reported to Chu Mingyu that the Japanese side did not allow them to go out, and Chu Mingyu needed to sign the entry and exit certificate in person.
