Chapter 1396 Fujiwara House Wine House
Chapter 1396 Fujiwara House Wine House
Minglou was undoubtedly very excited to receive such important news from Suning. In fact, he had already believed Suning's news.
Although Minglou and Suning did not have many contacts, he knew that Suning was not a person who would act without purpose. Since he had told the news, it was a sure thing.
Ming Lou, who had returned, immediately looked at Ming Cheng and instructed, "Ah Cheng, send a telegram to the Military Control Commission headquarters immediately. 'Little Boy' has returned to the Military Control Commission, but due to an emergency a while ago, he gave up this codename. From now on, his codename will be changed to 'Fatty', and he will be directly under the leadership of the Second Intelligence Section of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station. If any major incidents occur, he will contact the headquarters directly. The account number for activity funds does not need to be changed."
"Yes! Big brother, I'll go send the message now."
"..." Although Ming Lou was most eager to find out the relationship between Uncle Li and Ming Tai, he still suppressed his inner excitement and dealt with his work first.
Sure enough, after the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters received the information from the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station, Boss Dai and Mao Xian couldn't help but feel ecstatic. This "little boy" was really too important to their Military Intelligence Bureau. All the information provided by the "little boy" was confirmed to be accurate.
After calming down from the surprise, Boss Dai looked at Maoxian and asked, "Maoxian, what happened to Fatty some time ago?"
"Boss, you can encounter all kinds of situations when gathering intelligence. I guess it must be a very serious emergency, otherwise he wouldn't give up his previous code name so decisively." Mao Xian thought for a while and then looked at Boss Dai in front of him to explain.
"That makes sense! Even though it seems that 'Fatty' still doesn't trust our Military Control Headquarters, we can let 'Viper' try to win him over. It's better to hold such a trump card of surprise victory in our own hands."
"Boss, we know nothing about Fatty, nor do we know his specific hobbies. It would be difficult to cater to his interests, right?"
"Hmph! Then let's try them one by one. Headquarters will first reward Fatty with two large yellow croakers, and then find a way to send a beautiful female agent to approach him. I don't believe that there is a man who doesn't love money and beautiful women."
"Yes! Boss, I'll go down and make arrangements right away. There are a lot of beautiful women in those special agent training classes."
"Well, go ahead! Be sure to take the "fatty" matter to heart."
"Yes."
At this time, Mingcheng handed the reply from the Military Control Commission headquarters to Minglou, and Minglou was not surprised at the content of the reply. After all, he knew the Military Control Commission's style of doing things too well over the years.
Ming Lou then looked at his trusted confidant Ming Cheng and instructed, "Send a telegram to the Special Operations Group headquarters immediately. The new intelligence officer, codenamed 'Miss Qiu,' has not yet informed us of her true identity and does not fully trust our Red Party Special Operations Group. I hope the headquarters leaders can be more patient."
"Yes! Brother, is there anything else?"
"You go send the message first! We'll go to Uncle Li's place later."
"Yes."
Mingcheng naturally felt a little strange at this time. After all, if there was nothing important, Minglou would generally not contact Uncle Li directly.
Mingcheng immediately realized that something serious had happened, but he still went down to send a telegram to the Red Party Special Operations Department first. After all, it was obvious that sending a telegram to contact superiors was more urgent.
After finishing the important contact with his superiors, Minglou and Mingcheng took many detours to the safe house where Uncle Li was. Uncle Li was also shocked by Minglou's sudden appearance.
Uncle Li looked at Ming Lou curiously and asked, "Chief, has something serious happened? Why did you come to the safe house in person?"
"Uncle Li, don't be nervous! I came here to ask you a private question." Minglou, who noticed Uncle Li's nervousness, smiled and explained.
"Huh? A private matter?" However, Minglou's explanation made Uncle Li even more flustered.
"Uncle Li, why have you been secretly collecting old newspapers?"
"Well... to be honest, Chief, my wife and son disappeared seventeen years ago, and I wanted to see if there was any information about them in the old newspapers."
"Uncle Li, seventeen years ago, our Ming family's sworn enemy, Wang Fuqiu, sent someone to assassinate me and my eldest sister. Just as the assassin's car was about to hit us, a woman with a child suddenly rushed out and pushed us away. However, the woman was killed on the spot. My eldest sister then took the woman's son back to the Ming family to raise. He is now my younger brother, Ming Tai."
Uncle Li, who easily understood Minglou's meaning, became excited. "What? Chief, you mean..."
"That's right! Our intelligence officer "Miss Qiu" just sent me information today, saying that you and Mingtai are biological father and son." Minglou then continued to look at the excited Uncle Li in front of him and explained.
As expected, Uncle Li, an intelligence officer, was the first to question it. "Chief, this is such a secret matter that even you and I don't know about. How did this intelligence officer 'Miss Qiu' learn about it?"
"I don't know either! I feel like this 'Miss Qiu' is very dangerous and very powerful. I'm already struggling with how to deal with this 'Miss Qiu'."
"Section Chief, there's no need to dwell on these things right now. As long as 'Miss Qiu' doesn't have any ill will towards our Red Party, that's all that matters."
"Well, that's for sure. After all, he can't get anything from us."
Uncle Li then suppressed his excitement and looked at Ming Lou for instructions, "Section Chief, how should we deal with Ming Tai's matter next?"
Sure enough, Ming Lou looked at Uncle Li meaningfully and explained, "Uncle Li, I came here to discuss this matter with you. I plan to send Mingtai back to his hometown for training. Whether he becomes a soldier in the future or returns to Shanghai to gather intelligence, Mingtai must be loyal to the principles of our Red Party."
"Alright! This matter must be notified to the higher authorities as soon as possible."
……
The newly renovated "Fujiwara Izakaya" was about to open, and Suning also retained the previous chef, Takeru Sato, but his salary was reduced from 500 yen to 300 yen.
At this moment, Sato Takeru looked at his boss, Su Ning, with a depressed look on his face, "Fujiwara-kun, is the salary you offered me too low?"
"Mr. Sato, don't think what I say is unpleasant. Your cooking skills are indeed only worth this price. If it were in China, it would not be worth more than two hundred yuan at most." However, Suning looked at Sato Takeru in front of him with pretended arrogance and said.
Sato Takeru admitted the matter quite straightforwardly, but he still had his own reasons for the high salary. "That's right! My salary in China is indeed only 180 yuan, but now I have come to Shanghai with my family, so naturally my salary should be higher than what I earn back home, right?"
"So I gave you an extra 120 yen."
"This……"
"Sato-kun, although I haven't been back home for over a year, I know the current situation in the country. Military production is the main focus everywhere. Your wife, Yukawa Sakurako, and your daughter, Sato Keiko, are unemployed. If the current situation continues, they may be drafted as comfort women. Therefore, my willingness to take you in is truly a blessing."
"Impossible! The Imperial Japanese Army would never recruit its own women to serve as comfort women."
"Tsk! Since you have such confidence in those bastards in the Imperial Army, I won't force you to stay. You can take your wife and daughter back and give it a try."
"I……"
Finally, Suning reminded Sato Takeru again, "Sato-kun, my 'Fujiwara Izakaya' will open in three days, so I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible."
"Hey! Takeru Sato will give you an answer tomorrow, Fujiwara-kun." "Well, Sato-kun, don't just stay in the kitchen. If you have time, go to the comfort station and see what this world has become."
"Hi."
Sato Takeru naturally understood that the price offered by Suning was already very high, and it was impossible for him to continue to pay according to the 500 yuan given to him by Kuroki Jiro, but he always felt unwilling to accept the salary cut.
As for the claim that the Empire of Japan would forcibly recruit his wife and daughter as comfort women, Sato Takeru did not believe it at all. This mentality may be the true thinking of every Japanese.
Even if they saw their relatives in the comfort stations on the front line of the battlefield, they were unwilling to believe it, so this strange nation of theirs can be said to be unique in the world.
However, Takeru Sato really did not want to take his wife and daughter back to Japan. After all, the current supply of materials in Japan is mainly military supplies. Ordinary people like them can only maintain basic food and clothing, and naturally they cannot have the comfortable life of the rich in Shanghai.
Sato Takeru's wife, Yukawa Sakurako, looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Keiko Dad, is Fujiwara-kun really going to cut your salary?"
"Oh! Yes! It has been confirmed. It has been reduced from 500 yuan to 300 yuan." Sato Takeru naturally nodded with a depressed look on his face.
"What? This pay cut is too unacceptable. Why would Fujiwara-kun treat us like this?"
"Humph! He's got us in his hands! He thinks we can't possibly resign and return to Japan."
"Keiko's father, how about we go to another izakaya?"
"No way! I've already secretly inquired about it. Jiro Izakaya is the only one with the best business in Shanghai. I also know that Jiro Izakaya offers the highest salary. If I go to another izakaya, I'm sure they won't even make 300 yen."
"What should I do?"
"In fact, Fujiwara-kun didn't ask to take back that house. If we add the right to live in that house, it would be most cost-effective to continue staying here."
"Father Huizi, although what you said does make sense, I still want to put forward one last condition."
"What conditions?"
"Put our Keiko in the izakaya as a waitress."
"Yoshi! This is a very good offer, much better than letting Keiko work as a nurse in the hospital. You know, the customers of the izakaya are all high-ranking military and political officials."
Soon Suning learned about the new conditions proposed by Sato Takeru. Although Suning had never met Sato Takeru's wife and daughter, these were all trivial matters.
In addition, although Takeru Sato's cooking skills are indeed not as good as those of the culinary god himself, he is already very good in the Japanese chef industry, otherwise Jiro Kuroki would not have offered him such a high salary.
Arranging Takeru Sato as his deputy now is undoubtedly the best arrangement. In this way, he can spend more time in the front office, and the information he can obtain at that time will definitely be more and more detailed.
……
On October 1, 1939, the Fujiwara House Winery opened grandly.
Because of the reputation of Consul Yamamoto Yohji and Suning's superb cooking skills, almost all the Japanese military and political leaders in Shanghai came to show their support. The scene was definitely the most grand one in Shanghai in recent years.
For this reason, the Japanese gendarmerie and the Shanghai Expeditionary Force have imposed martial law on the entire Japanese concession, because if any Military Intelligence Bureau agents launch an attack here, all the devils can definitely be wiped out.
At this time, Suning, the owner of "Fujiwara-kun", was standing at the door of the izakaya, smiling and welcoming everyone. However, he couldn't help but want to kill these damn guys one by one, but Suning knew that doing so was simply unrealistic.
At this time, Fujita Yoshimasa came over with Minamida Yoko, "Fujiwara-kun, congratulations."
"Consultant Fujita, Section Chief Minami, welcome! Please come in." However, Su Ning still had a forced smile on his face, and he still couldn't let go of Fujita Yoshimasa's contempt for him.
"Eh? Thanks."
Seeing Suning's lukewarm attitude towards them, Yoshimasa Fujita and Yoko Minami were very depressed. They didn't expect that Suning would be so vindictive.
After Fujita Yoshimasa and Minamida Yoko were led to the private room by the waiter, Fujita Yoshimasa suddenly looked at Minamida Yoko with a face full of regret and asked, "Section Chief Minamida, do you think our initial treatment was too harsh? It's obvious that Fujiwara-kun has become alienated from us."
"Teacher, all of this is Fujiwara-kun's own fault. There are so many women in the Empire of Japan, why would he bother to mess with a Chinese woman?"
"Yes! It's just a little Chinese woman. Going to such great lengths to punish Fujiwara-kun must really chill Fujiwara-kun."
"Teacher, I heard that Fujiwara-kun was planning to post a notice at the entrance of the izakaya, refusing to host the Kempeitai and the Special High Police. In the end, it was Yohji Yamamoto from the consulate who stopped him."
"This..." At this time, Yoshimasa Fujita was completely dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Suning would be so stingy.
Fortunately, Yohji Yamamoto of the consulate is also a shareholder of "Fujiwara Izakaya", otherwise their military police and the Special High Police would be embarrassed this time.
Su Ning, who was standing outside the door to greet the guests, was also surprised. He didn't expect Ming Lou and Ming Cheng to come and support him. "Hello, Fujiwara-kun! I am Ming Lou, the Shanghai Economic Advisor of the Jinling Government. Congratulations on the grand opening of the Fujiwara Home Wine House."
"Thank you, Mr. Ming, please come in."
Suning naturally had a lukewarm attitude towards Minglou and Mingcheng. After all, with his current personality, he really looked down on them. Then he continued to welcome other big-name guests.
Sure enough, Suning's disregard made Mingcheng on the side angrily complain in a low voice, "Brother, this little devil is really too annoying. This attitude clearly shows that he can't see that we are brothers."
"Hmph! If you want to destroy him, you must drive him crazy." However, Minglou was also angry at Su Ning's attitude. Of course, the main reason was that he couldn't let go of Su Ning's insult to Wang Manchun.
Although Minglou was very repulsive and wary of Wang Manchun, she was his ex-girlfriend after all, so he naturally did not want to see her being humiliated by a "Japanese".
So when Minglou saw this "Japanese devil" in front of him for the first time, he felt very uncomfortable and wanted to run up and teach this bastard a lesson.
Ming Cheng, who was standing by, suddenly had an idea and looked at Ming Lou and asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you think Wang Manchun will come today?"
"Huh? Ah Cheng, when did you become so gossipy?" As expected, Ming Cheng's curiosity was met with Ming Lou's reprimand.
"Uh……"
