Lost and Spy

Chapter 540
"The first batch has already been sent away? Well, every batch must be safe, and we must board the ship for inspection in advance. No matter how short our manpower is, we must send two to three escorts for each batch. These artists can Nothing can happen!"

Meng Shaoyuan hung up the phone, somewhat relieved.

Escorts to Wuhan for these people in Shanghai's literary and art circles have already begun.

In order to ensure safety, they can only be sent out in batches, otherwise there will be too many people, and it will be too easy to attract the attention of the Japanese special agencies. Although these people cannot carry guns, their significance is not trivial.

Just as she took out a cigarette and wanted to light one, Wu Jingyi hurried in: "Director Meng, there is someone who wants you to meet him immediately."

"Who?" Meng Shaoyuan was startled: "Mr. Dai has come to Shanghai?"

"No, a university professor."

"Damn it." Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette, with a dissatisfied expression on his face: "What, a university professor, let me go to see him right away? These teachers have bad tempers, who is that?"

"He said..." Wu Jingyi actually hesitated for a moment: "He said his name is Meng Tadie."

"Oh, Meng Tadie... huh? How can you take advantage of others!"

Meng Shaoyuan reacted abruptly, "Meng Tadie", isn't this a homonym for "Meng's Father"?

Isn't this taking advantage of yourself?
Reverse, reverse.

How dare someone take advantage of him in Shanghai!
Hey, don't you really be your father in this era?

Ever since I came to this era, my life experience has always been a mystery. I don't know where I am, who my parents are, and who else is in my family.

Could it be that his "father" came to Shanghai?
No, no.

Meng Shaoyuan immediately vetoed it.

If one is really his father, there is no need to tease himself with such a name.

Second, in this critical period, family members of my level are absolutely not allowed to come to Shanghai, otherwise, once the news leaks out, they will surely become objects that the Japanese can use.

Definitely teasing myself there.

"Prepare the car and go to the International Hotel immediately." Meng Shaoyuan wanted to understand this and ordered angrily.

The International Hotel was his territory, and he was not afraid that the Japanese would intentionally provoke him and set up some traps. If that was the case, the insider would have informed him long ago.

Well, let alone, when will I really have to figure out my "life experience" in this era...

……

In the International Hotel, Manager Ge has been waiting for him for a long time.

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan coming in, Manager Ge immediately pulled him aside and said with a bitter face, "Your father..."

"your dad!"

"Ah, my father, my father. As soon as he came in, he directly asked someone to find me, and said that he would open the best room, and all the expenses would be charged to you. When I heard it, oh my god, how did this person know My identity? I don’t know his origin either, so I can only follow suit first, and then send someone to invite you quickly, go and see for yourself.”

……

Meng Shaoyuan was as curious as he could be.

Who is this guy?

He really didn't dare to make a mistake, came to the door of the room, and knocked on the door cautiously.

"Come in."

The door opened.

The person who opened the door was a man dressed as a servant, and he let Meng Shaoyuan in without saying a word.

Then he went out by himself and closed the door behind him.

I saw in the living room of the room, sitting a gentleman in his forties, wearing glasses, very thick hair, and a gentle man, holding a book in his hand.

"gentlemen……"

Meng Shaoyuan just opened his mouth, and the man said, "Are you the Meng Shaoyuan that Dai Yunong said?"

Good guy.

Just call Dai Li like that?
Absolutely extraordinary.

Meng Shaoyuan was more careful: "Yes, I am Meng Shaoyuan. Are you my father?"

The man was also startled, and then smiled.

He deliberately chose the name "Meng Taddie", originally intended to tease Meng Shaoyuan, who is famous all over Shanghai, but he never expected that Meng Shaoyuan not only didn't care at all, but even laughed at himself.

He smiled slightly: "I'm not your father, and you, a spy, are not qualified to be my son."

Who is Meng Shaoyuan?In the big Shanghai, he turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands with rain. He was called "Public Enemy of Japan". What kind of person was that?But now he doesn't even have the qualifications to be someone's son?

"Yes, yes, I am not qualified." Meng Shaoyuan is also famously thick-skinned, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, not in annoyance: "Sir, once you call me, I will come, you have to tell me where you are from Immortal, right?"

"I'm not a fairy." The man said lightly, "I'm just a teacher. I'm a professor at Tsinghua University, Chen Yinge!"

Oh Chen...

Chen Yinge!
Is this person in front of you Chen Yinge?
Chen Yinge, the four masters of historiography in the predecessors, and the four philosophers of Tsinghua University's century-old history?
The son of the sons, Chen Yinge?
His grandfather was Chen Baozhen, the governor of Hunan, and his father was Chen Sanli, one of the "Four Great Princes in the Late Qing Dynasty".Even his wife's grandfather was Tang Jingsong, governor of Taiwan.

Professor Chen Yinge among the professors!
When he was 36 years old, he was known as the "Big Three of Tsinghua University", and he never followed other people's teeth in his lectures.Zeng said: "I don't say what the predecessors said; I don't say what my neighbors say; I don't say what foreigners say; I don't say what I have said in the past. Now I only say that no one has ever said it." said."

Therefore, the classrooms where Chen Yinke attends classes are always full, half of them are students, and half are teachers who come here for fame. Even famous professors like Zhu Ziqing, Feng Youlan, and Wu Mi listen to him every class.

These, Meng Shaoyuan is not the most admired, he admired the most, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army approached Pingjin.Chen Yinke's father, Chen Sanli, went on a hunger strike in righteous indignation, and died suddenly.

He himself stayed in Hong Kong for a long time, and after the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong, they broke into his home.

This boss yelled curses in Kyoto dialect with a pure Japanese aristocratic accent, and the leading officer bowed and apologized and left in embarrassment.

Just kidding, he is a genius who is proficient in eight languages.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't expect that it would be Chen Yinge who was looking for him. Meng Shaoyuan has always respected such a scholar, especially a scholar with backbone.

It stands to reason that Meng Shaoyuan himself is also a psychologist, proficient in English and Japanese, and his knowledge is not bad, but in front of Chen Yinge, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Facing this "sone among princes, professor among professors", Meng Shaoyuan said politely: "Professor Chen, I didn't expect you to come to Shanghai in person. If there is anything I can do, please tell me."

"My wife and I got married in Shanghai in the 17th year of the Republic of China." Chen Yinge put down the book in his hand: "I went to teach in Peiping the next year, and I haven't been to Shanghai for almost ten years. The War of Resistance Outbreak, I went to Kunming with Tsinghua University. This time, Oxford University in the UK hired me to go. Before leaving, Dai Yunong, who didn’t know how to know, rushed from Chongqing to Kunming and told me that the journey is difficult. If the UK cannot go temporarily, You might as well transfer to Shanghai first, and then go to Hong Kong to live temporarily, and don’t choose other ways to go to England. Unexpectedly, Dai Yunong’s words really became a prophecy.”

Meng Shaoyuan immediately understood: "Professor Chen, Mr. Dai even said that after you arrive in Shanghai, just find me, I will take care of your life in Shanghai, and I will find a way to arrange for you to go to Hong Kong?"

"Yes, that's what it means." Chen Yinge nodded: "Dai Yunong told me about this international hotel. The environment is not bad, and it's much brighter than where I live in Kunming."

Meng Shaoyuan also knew that although his family had been displaced for most of his life, his family background was there after all, and he was used to being well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child. What kind of scenes have he never seen?
He himself respects Chen Yinge, and because of Mr. Dai's orders, his words are more polite: "Professor Chen, in Shanghai, just ask for anything you need. Look, it's almost time for dinner. I'll give you Ready to go, do you want to eat?"

"Be casual, as long as you can fill your stomach. In Kunming, there are often times when you are hungry." Chen Yinge thought for a while: "Speaking of which, when I was in Shanghai, I ate a dish of herring with bald lungs and paper Pack fried chicken, see if there is any more."

Herring with bald lungs?

Sounds like the guts of a herring, right?Fried chicken just got easier.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't have time to think: "That's easy, I'll prepare it for you."

……

"Huh? Simple?" Manager Ge's eyes widened when he heard the two dishes, and he wanted to have a discussion with Meng Shaoyuan: "Boss Meng, do you know how to make this herring with bald lungs?"

"I don't know, I'm not a chef, how do I know?"

"You really dare to promise others. Herring bald lung, this is the original dish of Shanghai Lao Zhengxing back then. The bald lung is the liver of herring, and it is cooked with bamboo shoots, green onions, ginger, rice wine, soy sauce, and sugar. "

"It's easy."

"Easy?" Manager Ge didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "In the past, for the herring alone, Lao Zhengxing's master had to choose herrings weighing more than ten catties, plus his own unique cooking techniques. I can’t find any of the above herrings.”

Manager Ge became more and more angry: "There is also paper-wrapped fried chicken. The dish itself is not difficult to cook. Paper-wrapped fried chicken, as the name suggests, is to wrap a whole chicken in paper and fry it. But the problem lies in the paper. Above. The finishing touch of paper-wrapped fried chicken lies in the paper. The paper must be made of spring bamboo shoots and made using the most primitive Cai Lun papermaking method. This kind of paper has long been lost!"

"Cai Lun's papermaking method is used to make a dish?" Meng Shaoyuan was stunned: "What about other paper? Can't it be used?"

"My Boss Meng." Manager Ge stomped his feet repeatedly: "Didn't you hear clearly? That paper is made of spring bamboo shoots, it's not ordinary paper!"

It's over, it's over, I'm bragging too much.

What's the matter?People want to eat these two dishes.

Meng Shaoyuan bit the bullet: "Old Ge, think of a way. You really can't steal it. I don't have ten catties of herring. Use smaller ones. We can't find bamboo shoot paper. You can use tofu skin instead."

"I listen to you, who made you my boss?" Manager Ge sighed: "Things can be substituted, but the taste is definitely not good."

Meng Shaoyuan had a headache, this is his own father, this is what he asked for!

(Spider is delicious, and he also likes to cook by himself. I have cooked it since I learned about herring with bald lungs. Ten catties of herring were very rare in those days, but now it is not difficult to find. The problem is, it must be me The method is wrong, it is too unpalatable, and the taste is sour.)
