Sitting in the VIP box of this French steakhouse, Shen Yutang ordered all the dishes on the menu that she had never eaten before, which looked expensive and which she definitely could not afford in her previous life.
According to the prices on the menu, her meal cost her more than ten thousand dollars.
Converted into legal tender, it is about 70-80 yuan or more than 1,000 yuan. There is a big difference between the official exchange rate and the black currency exchange rate.
A medium-rare French Charolais steak originates from the Charolais region of France, where cattle only eat specific grasses and are fed oak nuts.
The beef is evenly balanced in fat and lean meat, the meat is delicious and tender, with a rich aroma and a unique oak flavor.
After being carefully cooked by a French chef, the meat tastes tender and chewy, with a very unique flavor.
This plate of Charolais steak, which originated in France, is priced at $18.
Steak should be paired with red wine, so Shen Yutang ordered herself a bottle of red wine produced by the Bordeaux Osson Winery in France.
At this time, the Ausone winery in France was the first of the eight major wineries in France and a Grade A winery in Saint-Emilion.
The red wine produced here is extremely valuable. It has a rich aroma of fruit, licorice, and flowers. The aftertaste is long and the aroma of the wine lingers on the taste buds for a long time!
Even someone like Shen Yutang, who is not a big fan of red wine, drank glass after glass. It was considered the best bottle of red wine she had ever tasted.
Of course, this bottle of red wine originating from Château d'Ausson in Bordeaux, France, costs $68, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as a luxury product.
In addition to steak and red wine, Shen Yutang also ate some fruit salad, toast and other things.
These dishes are all freshly made by the French chef in the kitchen, so it is understandable that they are a bit more expensive.
After eating and drinking, Shen Yutang left the French steak restaurant.
At this time, there was only one Japanese spy left following her.
Ignoring the Japanese spy, Shen Yutang continued to wander around the French Concession.
He took the Japanese spy to the Xiafei Road Commercial Street in the French Concession and the Great World Entertainment City on Aidoya Road.
Chen Yutang didn't seem to be looking for someone from the Military Control Commission station in Shanghai, but rather seemed to be traveling in the French Concession.
However, the Japanese spies who were following Shen Yutang already knew that she was an undercover agent of the Military Control Commission, so they did not dare to relax even if she looked like she was just shopping or having fun.
The Japanese spy paid special attention to anyone Shen Yutang had noticed, talked to, or even passed by, and tried his best to remember their appearance.
In his hands, he had some sketches and portraits of senior officials of the Military Control Commission Station in Shanghai.
These sketches were also based on the oral narration of the rebellious members of the Military Control Commission at the "Fu Rui Tea House" and were drawn by relevant painters.
The Japanese spy who was following her took note of the appearances of those who had contact with Shen Yutang, and took out the portraits in his arms for comparison.
After tracking for a whole day, the Japanese spy found nothing else except that the steak restaurant was a little suspicious.
Instead, Chen Yu led him around the French Concession for a long walk like a dog.
Chen Yutang was not short of money. She ate wherever she went. When she got tired, she would go to a roadside cafe to have a cup of coffee and some dessert.
The poor Japanese spy could only squat in the distance and wait quietly. He was tired, hungry and thirsty.
But the places that Chen Yutang went to were all very high-end, and the Japanese spy was short of money and could not afford it at all, so he could only endure it.
At the end of the day, the Japanese spies who were following were driven crazy by Shen Yutang!
Chen Gongshu and others, who had been hiding in a safe house in the French Concession and refused to show up easily, sent people out to purchase food, vegetables, and fruits once every three days.
