Republic Era Espionage: Three-Faced Female Spy's Mind-Reading Killing Spree

Waking up, Shen Yutang transmigrated to the war-torn Anti-Japanese War era. She is Comrade "Spark" of the underground party, the ace female spy "Bloody Rose" of the Military Statist...

Chapter 12: Get paid and eat hot pot, and leave the mountain city soon (1/2)

After capturing Murano Kawamoto, a Japanese spy inside the courtyard.

Shen Yutang temporarily joined the team and helped the captain and others to solve the case of Japanese spies stealing military intelligence. In fact, they completed their tasks excellently.

After all, this case belonged to Captain Xiao from the beginning.

Shen Yutang helped him develop from a clueless situation to successfully capturing a Japanese spy. He also investigated the existence of the Gray Wolf Spy Group and found a contact station of the Gray Wolf Spy Group!

Logically speaking, Captain only needs to keep a close eye on the "Big Bowl Noodle Shop" of the Japanese spy liaison station to dig out the entire Japanese spy Gray Wolf Group!

And such hard work as keeping an eye on the "Big Bowl Noodle Shop" 24 hours a day would naturally not fall on Shen Yutang's head.

As for the interrogation of the Japanese spy Murano Kawamoto, Shen Yutang had no interest in participating at first.

The torture scene was so cruel and bloody that Shen Yutang couldn't adapt to it for a while, although she also knew that the Japanese spy Muranogawa deserved it!

All the Japanese devils who invaded Chinese territory are guilty of numerous crimes, and it would not be excessive to cut them into pieces.

But asking Shen Yutang to do the interrogation herself is really a bit difficult for her!

However, Murano Kawamoto, who was poisoned by militarist ideology, did not utter a single word even under the severe torture of the interrogation department, which made the captain feel troubled again.

However, these problems are now the captain's problems. For Shen Yutang, her temporary involvement in this case has already been regarded as a successful completion of the task.

If she hadn't been pushed to that point, Shen Yutang wouldn't want to move at all. She just wanted to lie flat on her bed in the dormitory of the Military Control Bureau and be a qualified salted fish!

Of course, this was when she didn't have much money.

If she had money, Shen Yutang would like to go out to eat and drink, go shopping or something.

At this age, these are Shen Yutang’s last loves!

I can’t watch short videos, play games, or have any movies to watch, so the only thing that’s interesting is being a foodie.

Just these two days, the Military Intelligence Bureau paid this month's salary of 38 yuan in French currency. Because of the field work, Shen Yutang also received an additional field allowance of 15 yuan.

As for the reward for uncovering the Japanese spy, Shen Yutang will probably have to catch the Gray Wolf spy team in one fell swoop and close the entire Japanese spy case before he can get it.

A few days ago, Shen Yutang had almost spent last month's salary.

Moreover, a few days ago, she had to buy medicine and daily necessities for her underground party boss Zhou Jianmin, and she was almost out of money!

Now with 53 yuan in hand, Shen Yutang suddenly felt alive again, and life had a purpose again!

Although it is already 1939 and the legal tender issued by the White Party government has depreciated to a certain extent, generally speaking, the legal tender of this period still has a certain purchasing power.

It has not reached the point where a box of matches costs hundreds of thousands of French francs!

Of course, this salary at that time was really not much, and it was barely enough for Shen Yutang to support herself.

So in fact, the people in their Military Intelligence Bureau more or less have other ways to make money, but Shen Yutang has just arrived after her soul traveled through time and space, and has not yet thought of ways to make extra money in this way.

Also, because the salary was paid in the White Party currency, Shen Yutang could not keep the money in his hands.

As time goes by, legal tender will eventually become waste paper, so it is always more cost-effective to spend the money early!

Therefore, Shen Yutang, who received the salary subsidy, no longer cared about the captain's investigation into the Gray Wolf spy group.

Anyway, Captain Gou cracked the entire Japanese spy Gray Wolf Group this time, and she also deserves a share of the credit!

Under the current circumstances, she has paved the way for Captain to continue his investigation. Whether he can catch the Gray Wolf Spy Group in one fell swoop depends on Captain's ability!

As for Shen Yutang, she had been extremely nervous during the past seven or eight days, and she always had to take her salary and go out to eat and drink to relax herself.

Some time ago, he risked his life to rescue Zhou Jianmin, the leader of the underground party, and then he got involved in the investigation of the Japanese spies in the hospital.

Now that the crisis has been temporarily resolved, Shen Yutang decided to reward herself.

In the mountain city, other delicacies may not be available in this era, but hotpot has definitely appeared.

The hotpot in the mountain city originated in the late Qing Dynasty when dock coolies, boat trackers and other heavy manual laborers used cheap animal offal and other ingredients to cook in big pots on the street in order to supplement their nutrition.

In order to remove the fishy smell of ingredients such as animal offal, a large amount of peppercorns and chili peppers are used to cover up the unpalatable fishy smell!

However, as the flavors were adjusted later on, this way of eating gradually became more popular.

It’s just that people in the mountain city nowadays don’t call hot pot hot pot, but “malatang”!

The Sichuan dialect term "malatang" is actually a very appropriate description of hotpot.

It tastes numb, spicy and piping hot, isn’t that the essence of hotpot?

At this time, there are stalls selling "Malatang" on the streets of the mountain city, next to the docks, and near the markets!

Of course, people who are more particular will not choose this kind of roadside stall.

Some restaurants have iron pots supported by earthen stoves in their private rooms, where customers can eat spicy hot pot!

He had 53 yuan in his pocket, which was equivalent to one month's living expenses for an ordinary Zhou family in the mountain city.

Shen Yutang did not choose the street stalls, but went to a restaurant in the mountain city that sold "Malatang".

After putting ten dollars in front of the restaurant owner, Shen Yutang entered the private room where she was eating alone, and a whole table of food was served.

It is cleaned thoroughly, with large pieces of gray tripe, and you can tell at a glance that it is freshly slaughtered. It is pure and natural without formalin or bleach. This is real organic food!

The beef, beef liver, beef blood, beef intestines, and beef kidneys all seemed to be sent directly to this restaurant after fresh slaughter.

As for vegetarian dishes, although there is a shortage of supplies in the mountain city, there are still many local vegetables, fruits and melons.

There was no shortage of chopped tofu, bean curd skin, potatoes, lotus roots, radishes, lettuce, and cabbage on the table. Compared with later generations, the feeling was actually not much different!

As for the dipping sauce, chili powder, pepper powder, minced ginger and garlic, bean paste, and sesame oil are all placed in a small plate.

Chen Yutang can try different combinations according to her taste.

Except for the simple environment, Shen Yutang's hot pot was quite delicious!

In the end, she really couldn't eat anymore, so she packed up all the vegetables and meat that the restaurant owner gave her.
