Today is a public holiday, and it is normal to meet people from Zhongtong. What makes Jiang Xinyu feel uneasy is who is the man in the suit with the "Family Letter of Zeng Wenzheng"...
If he is a contact person and appears at Hui Restaurant at this time, does he have other purposes, or is he just here to have dinner?
Normally, the joint plan does not have this link.
Tong Tong was still playing with the little button, picked up a grasshopper and brought it to her mouth, saying, "What are you afraid of if you try it? It's not poison!"
Little Button tilted his body to avoid the insect's "attack" and said: "Miss, you can enjoy it yourself, I am not as courageous as you..."
Tong Tong put the grasshopper into his mouth and said vaguely: "Jiang Xinyu, are you convinced?"
Jiang Xinyu: "Why are you convinced?"
"I haven't used the food you only dared to eat for a year. I haven't used it for a minute. Aren't you still convinced?"
"I'm convinced. But don't eat too much fried food."
"Why?"
"Haven't you heard a saying? It's so delicious!"
Tong Tong has a character that overcomes difficulties. The more you say something won't work, the more she wants to try. In less than half an hour, she ate more than a dozen grasshoppers.
The time came to six forty.
The man in the suit put down the tea bowl and said, "Man, pay the bill!"
He had finished his meal long ago and had been drinking tea slowly and reading the book at hand, as if he was killing time.
The waiter came over and said: "Sir, the total is two thousand and thirty. The boss said that I will charge you two thousand yuan."
"Thank you." The man in the suit took out his wallet, took out two large bills and handed them over.
He got up and went downstairs. The two Zhongtong men looked at each other, and one of them immediately went downstairs. Lao Sun paid the bill and followed immediately.
Tong Tong put down his chopsticks, frowned and said, "Xiao Button, please give me a glass of water."
Xiao Niu asked with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"My throat feels uncomfortable..."
"Did you eat too many bugs?"
"No, I just feel thirsty."
It takes about ten minutes to walk from Hui Restaurant to Yongtai Tea House, and it's time for Jiang Xinyu to leave.
He stood up and said, "You will definitely feel thirsty after eating so much fried food. Wait a minute and I will buy you a bottle of Qiuli ointment."
"What is Qiuli paste?"
"A kind of palace medicinal food."
"Does it work?"
"I tried it, it works."
Little Button also stood up and said, "I'd better go."
"You don't know the road or where the pharmacy is. I'll be back soon." Jiang Xinyu opened the door and walked out.
Little Button whispered: "Miss, Captain Jiang cares about you very much..."
Tong Tong concealed his pride and said: "It's rare to see it, but it's strange! Does buying a bottle of Qiuli ointment mean you care?"
Little Button thought for a moment and said, "At least he has you in his heart."
Tong Tong looked at the small button and said with a narrow smile: "You know a lot at a young age...Tell me, who taught you this?"
Little Button's face turned red, and she pouted and said, "I follow you every day, who else can teach me..."
"Hey, I've learned to talk back!" Tong Tong stretched out his hand and gently pinched his little button cheek.
Little Button was sold to the Tong family when he was eight years old, and he grew up with Tong Tong. The relationship between the two was very strange, they were both master and servant, but also a bit like best friends.
Jiang Xinyu knew that the first contact would not take too long, only ten minutes at most. The main purpose was to establish contact with the organization.
By taking the opportunity to buy Qiuli ointment for Tongtong, meet with the contact person, and then come back, you can basically hide it from others!
After leaving Hui Restaurant, Jiang Xinyu stood at the door, lit a cigarette, and looked at the back of the man in a suit, followed by the two central government agents not far away.
Jiang Xinyu walked slowly along the street. Ten minutes later, he watched the man in suit enter Yongtai Teahouse.
Opposite the teahouse was a drugstore, and Jiang Xinyu stepped inside.
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy greeted him warmly and said, "Sir, do you want to take medicine?"
Jiang Xinyu looked around and said, "Is there Qiuli ointment?"
"have."
The shopkeeper took out two boxes of Qiuli ointment from the counter and said, "One is from Enjitang, and the other is from Xinyuanzhai. Which one do you want?"
"Which effect is better?" Jiang Xinyu was observing the Yongtai Tea House across the street.
The shopkeeper introduced diligently and said: "Both of these two are century-old brands. Xinyuanzhai's is a little more expensive. After all, it is a tribute from the royal family..."
Outside the door of Yongtai Teahouse, two Central Unification agents did not follow. A man in a long gown came over. Both parties nodded slightly, and the man in a long gown stepped into the teahouse.
If he didn't know them or didn't meet them in Huilou, Jiang Xinyu wouldn't have noticed this detail.
He was secretly surprised. It looked like the man in the suit was the contact person. Could it be that his identity was exposed?
Otherwise, how could we be targeted by spies...
"Just trust Yuanzhai." Jiang Xinyu said to the shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper: "Sir, if the patient has dry mouth, tongue, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, which may cause coughing, I suggest you get another bottle of sour plum juice, and the effect will be better if you take it together."
"Okay." Jiang Xinyu thought in his mind that this meeting must be cancelled.
After leaving the pharmacy, Jiang Xinyu returned directly to Hui Restaurant.
Judging from the current situation, as long as I don't show up, the contact person will not be in danger for the time being.
"Why are they different?" Tong Tong asked as he opened the package.
Jiang Xinyu: "You can drink the sour plum soup directly, but you need to mix the autumn pear paste with warm water."
The little button unscrewed the lid of the sour plum soup, poured a bowl for Tongtong, and said, "Miss, drink a little of this first."
Tong Tong picked up the bowl, took a sip, and said, "Well, it's sour and sweet, and it tastes good."
After eating, Jiang Xinyu asked them on the way home, "Miss Tong, how do you feel now?"
Tong Tong: "Much better, my throat is no longer itchy..."
Little Button, who was sitting in the back, said with a smile: "Miss, do you still want to eat those bugs?"
Tong Tong glared at Little Button and said, "They call it fried grasshoppers!"
Little Button stuck out his tongue and muttered in a low voice: "Grasshoppers are also insects..."
Tong Tong sighed and said, "Actually, fried grasshoppers taste quite good. I ate... a bit too much today."
Jiang Xinyu held the steering wheel and looked forward, saying: "There is also a certain amount of chili powder added to the fried food. If you eat too much, you will definitely feel uncomfortable. Just be careful next time."
Tong Tong: "I know, it's so delicious."
Jiang Xinyu was talking perfunctorily to Tong Tong, while he was thinking about what happened today.
The most important thing now is to understand why the Central Government monitors the contacts!
If the identity of the contact person has been exposed, before the CCP has caught any evidence, we must find a way to notify him to evacuate as soon as possible.
The connection was unsuccessful today. According to the established plan, there will be backup contact information. It is estimated that we will receive instructions to connect again in the next two days!
