"Madam, the food is ready." Zhou Ru put on an apron, wiped her hands on the apron, and said with a smile, "The husband is not at home, and the wife's appetite has not been very good. Now it is better. The husband has called to tell the wife.
You also have a great appetite."
She had already learned from Datou, who drove to pick her up, that 'Brother Fan sent a telegram from Tianjin to my sister-in-law.' Therefore, Zhou Ru had vague speculations and expectations in her heart:
Therefore, she took the initiative to direct the topic to the telegram.
"Tell me, it's strange. I used to not be used to eating Mapo Tofu, but today I really want to eat it." Bai Ruolan smiled and pointed to the letter in her hand, "Speaking of which, the reason is because you are the cook.
On the body."
"Ah?" Zhou Ru was surprised. She blinked and didn't understand.
"Sir, I ate Bazhen Tofu in Tianjin and said it was not as good as the Mapo Tofu made by a little cook like you." Bai Ruolan said with a smile.
"Really?" Zhou Ru asked in surprise. As a cook, it is undoubtedly a great achievement to be praised by the master.
"I can still lie to you." As Bai Ruolan spoke, she said to the little maid Lizi, "Lizi, go ask Xiaobao to come down for dinner."
Then she handed the letter to Zhou Ru casually, "See for yourself, is this what the gentleman said?"
Zhou Ru took the letter and was about to open it when she heard Bai Ruolan say, "By the way, Xiao Zhima wants to eat stewed eggs. Could you please Xiao Zhou to make some shrimp stewed eggs."
"I know." Zhou Ru stuffed the letter into her apron pocket and hurried back to the kitchen to work.
He closed the kitchen door.
Quickly steaming the stewed eggs on the stove, Zhou Ru took out the letter paper from her apron pocket and read it carefully.
…
About half an hour later.
Sugarcane.
"Ouch." Zhou Ru's cry of pain came from the kitchen.
Bai Ruolan, who was dining, looked towards the kitchen in surprise, "Lizi, go and have a look."
Someone moves faster than Chestnut:
Xiaobao ran into the kitchen quickly like a happy rabbit, and the old cat followed her.
"Sister Ruolan, it was Miss Zhou who got burned." Xiaobao shouted.
Bai Ruolan hurriedly came to the kitchen to check and knocked over the steamed egg on the floor. Zhou Ru's wrist was so hot that it turned red.
"How could you be careless?" Bai Ruolan exclaimed, "Is the burn serious?"
"Xiaobao, go and inform Datou to drive Miss Zhou to the doctor." Bai Ruolan ordered.
"Madam, no, there is no need to go to the hospital." Zhou Ru quickly waved her hand, "They are all minor injuries. It is common to get burned when cooking. I always have burn ointment there, it is very useful."
"Da Tou, drive Miss Zhou back to Father Jin Road." Bai Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard what Zhou Ru said and shouted towards the yard.
"Yes, sister-in-law." Da Tou agreed in the yard.
"Thank you, madam." Zhou Ru said gratefully, with a look of guilt on her face, "It's a pity that this is a good steamed egg. The young master is waiting to eat it."
"You, go home quickly and apply medicine, what are you talking about?" Bai Ruolan said reproachfully.
Watching the car carrying Zhou Ru drive out of the yard, Bai Ruolan glanced at the cat that was sniffing the stewed eggs in the broken cup on the ground, and couldn't help but smile, "It's an advantage for an old cat like you."
"Lizi, look at the cat." Bai Ruolan glanced at Lizi and casually ordered, "After the cat has finished eating, you can clean it up."
"Yes, ma'am." Li Zi agreed hastily.
…
Father King Road.
Zhou Ru locked the door to the outer room.
He entered the bedroom and locked the bedroom door.
She took out the telegraph newspaper hidden in her inner pocket, read it carefully, and began to decipher it.
According to her observation, only the first sentence of the telegram sent by the team leader to his wife was, 'Ruolan, my wife, I have arrived in Tianjin and had a safe trip. I miss you and Xiaozhizhi very much.' This is definitely true.
Written for my wife.
The following content is all written for her to read.
Zhou Ru was thinking and translating the message on a piece of paper.
There is no secret code in black and white for this telegram translation. The secret code of this telegram is in Zhou Ru’s mind:
Or, to be precise, the secret code of this telegram was her familiarity with the team leader, especially the tacit understanding, vocabulary habits, and secret language mastery of the two people's long-term cooperation.
Furthermore, the key to Zhou Ru deciphering this telegram is that she and Cheng Qianfan had an agreement long ago——
Qualifiers!
Words that seem very ordinary and unobtrusive are actually used to limit the direction.
"My colleagues here in Tianjin are not very enthusiastic. Of course, I am here to handle miscellaneous matters, and I am already prepared for my colleagues to be uncooperative. Just wait, these monsters, the king will not show his power... With them
Begging for mercy.”
Colleagues appeared twice, and this was the team leader who specifically pointed out "colleagues".
Colleagues?
Team leader’s identity:
Patrol room, agents of our military command, Japanese agents, and black marketeers.
Considering that the team leader's trip to Nanjing was a confidential mission, Zhou Ru first excluded black market traders.
Then her eyes locked on the word 'monster'.
This is one word Zhou Ru can be sure of:
魍鉉, the group leader used to use 魍鉉 to refer specifically to the Red Party.
"The king does not show his power" is also a code word.
People more commonly use the phrase 'the tiger does not show off its power'.
The team leader gave up using the word "tiger does not show its power" and chose to use "the king does not show its power" instead. In fact, it highlighted the word tiger and her.
Colleagues; monsters (red party); tigers.
This is the code word Zhou Ru retrieved from this sentence.
"Of course, there is no need to worry about safety for me. Lord Tande has repeatedly communicated with Tianjin. I now have sufficient security when I come in and out."
In this paragraph, the focus is on ‘I am now’. What the team leader wants to say is——
Adequate security, translated as:
The security is tight.
"I'm currently staying at the Traffic Hotel, which is one of the first-class hotels in Tianjin. The accommodation conditions are naturally okay, but some neighbors are too noisy."
In this sentence, the word 'I live now' points to 'Jiaotong Hotel', or to be precise, the word 'Jiaotong'. If the message uses 'I live now' and there is no second 'in', then
, pointing to the entire word 'Transportation Hotel'.
Transportation, this is a code word translated by Zhou Ru.
Just, traffic, what does this mean?
…
"This is the first-class place in Tianjin." This sentence is preceded by 'this is', followed by 'where', and the middle part of the sentence is specially defined as 'Tianjin first-class one'.
Then remove the place name "Tianjin" and retain "Yiyiyi".
Zhou Ru wrote the word "model" again on the paper.
The team leader usually uses the word 'model' in his official reports to the police station.
Therefore, Zhou Ru knew that in this restrictive sentence, "one first" actually pointed out the code word "model".
“The accommodation conditions are naturally okay, but some neighbors are too noisy.”——
The qualifier of this sentence is ‘just’, which is intended to highlight ‘the neighbors are too noisy’.
