Chapter 62: The Road
No one hates someone who praises them.
Chefs, too, are no exception.
Especially when such praise is still sincere, it will make the person being praised feel sincerely happy.
"If you want to eat the food I cooked, you can come at any time, but not today."
"I cook at most one meal a day."
"Remember to book in advance before you come."
The knife boss said with a smile.
There was a natural intimacy in the tone, not the estrangement hidden in the previous politeness.
"Okay."
Qin Ran nodded.
He doesn't hate reasonable rules.
What's more, he himself has a set of rules: don't eat white food.
"If you run into any trouble, you can come to me."
"If I can, I will help you solve it, it's the money for food."
Very few people can achieve almost mimosa cooking skills, and in a dungeon world without mimosas, in order to taste this level of cooking a few more times, Qin Ran doesn't mind spending a little more thought.
"This is a favor I owe you, and I don't need food money."
"And I already feel indebted by your choice."
"Then I'll give you a reminder as compensation."
"Beware of Norred Church and ...... Society of Hypnotists. ”
The knife boss frowned and said very seriously.
The last sentence, the knife boss said almost word by word.
"yes, I know."
Qin Ran didn't show any surprise.
Whether it is the Norred Church or the Hypnotist Association, in Qin Ran's eyes, they are basically the same...... Unfamiliar, the only difference is that he has a conflict with the Norred Church, which has a very bad reputation, but this does not mean that Qin Ran will move closer to the Hypnotist Association.
Even if the Hypnotist Association and the Norred Church are hostile, it is not Qin Ran's style to join at will without really understanding the situation.
"Thanks again."
Qin Ran said and stood up.
After tasting the food, he also roughly understood the other party's thoughts.
Even, he also had an unexpected gain about the 'mysterious side'.
Qin Ran was extremely sure that the news that the knife boss said was worth beyond people's imagination was about the 'mysterious side'.
In fact, it is only by comparing it with the news about the 'mysterious side' that a person like Boss Dao, who is absolutely confident in his cooking skills, can become ashamed.
But in Qin Ran's eyes, the cooking skills of the knife boss are definitely much more precious than the news on the 'mysterious side' at this moment.
After thousands of years, the vicissitudes of life, in this land where there has long been no transcendent shadow, Qin Ran can fully imagine what those 'mysterious sides' will look like.
Fragmented.
Lingering.
Even, there is no complete inheritance anymore.
The rest is probably just some records of a thousand years ago, with only a few words, or some small tricks that can confuse ordinary people.
More?
Impossible.
Otherwise, the dungeon world at this moment would not be a 'new federation' based on scientific and technological development.
Of course, Qin Ran would not underestimate the 'mysterious side' of this dungeon world because of this.
He never underestimated anyone or power.
Just as he believes, as long as the column of 'psychic' continues to ferment, those remnants of the 'mysterious side' will find them sooner or later.
"I'll send you."
The knife boss followed suit.
Walking out of the wing room and through the lobby, the knife boss stood in front of the stone steps.
Qin Ran changed his shoes, nodded to each other with the knife boss, turned around and walked towards the outside of the bamboo forest, when he bypassed a bamboo forest, the maid he saw for the first time had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Excellency 2567, please follow me."
Under the leadership of the maid, Qin Ran met with Eckerd, the makeup artist and others.
In a house similar to a cold house, Eckerd and the others drank tea and ate snacks, and their faces were full of admiration for the good food.
"How?"
"What does the food made by Boss Knife taste like?"
"It must be delicious, right?"
"These treats have left me with a lot of memories, and those meals must be even better."
When he saw Qin Ran walking in, the makeup artist jumped up directly, rushed to Qin Ran and asked, and while asking, he shook his nose like a puppy.
He expected to smell the remnants of that delicious food from Qin Ran's body.
But alas, he didn't smell anything.
"What exactly did you eat?"
Makeup artists who can't judge by smell can only open their mouths to ask.
"Meat."
Qin Ran said simply, and his eyes looked at Eckerd, who swept all the remaining snacks into his arms.
"It's okay, the knife boss is very hospitable."
"I won't mind."
Facing Qin Ran's gaze, Eckerd sneered, but the movements of his hands were not slow at all, and the small snacks that looked extremely delicate and exuded an attractive fragrance were carefully placed by Eckerd on a piece of oilskin paper, and then put them into an iron box.
The oily paper and iron box will naturally not be prepared by the knife boss.
Obviously, Eckerd really came prepared.
Just like Eckerd said, the knife boss is really very hospitable, including the four bodyguards of Gobauer, the group ate for a long time, and the remaining snacks were still filled with two iron boxes, and before Eckerd put the two iron boxes into the bag on the side, Qin Ran picked up one of the boxes.
"Mine."
Qin Ran concisely expounded his views.
Eckerd was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.
Because, he could see that Qin Ran was not joking.
The look in his eyes was more serious than when he faced the boss of the theft gang before.
So serious that Eckerd had the illusion of 'give it to him, give it to him, or he will be beaten up, and then take both boxes'.
Eckerd, who was a little distressed, took the lead in the nanny car with the remaining box of snacks, and Qin Ran, who had an unexpected gain, followed behind with satisfaction.
As when they came, the two cars drove one after the other, heading towards Qin Ran's temporary residence.
But as soon as he drove away from the villa where the cold house was located, Gobauer's walkie-talkie rang.
"Boss, we're being followed."
Inside the walkie-talkie, the voices of Gobauer's men rang out clearly.
"Observe the target."
"Be vigilant."
Gobauer commanded, and then, without looking back, he said to Eckerd and Qin Ran: "I will guarantee your safety, as long as I live." ”
Without any hesitation, Eckerd, who had become nervous when he heard someone following him, quickly calmed down.
After Eckerd glanced at Gobauer with a little gratitude, his eyes turned to Qin Ran, who put the iron box containing the snack on his knee and gently stroked it with his fingers.
Unaffected at all.
Or rather......
Don't take the stalker into account in the slightest.
"Did you find anything?"
Eckerd asked.
"Give me your box of snacks and I'll tell you."
Qin Ran pointed to the bag in Eckerd's hand.
"At this time, don't be kidding."
"You ......"
"Okay, I'll give it to you, hurry up and tell me what you found?"
Unlike Qin Ran, in the face of unknown dangers, Eckerd would definitely choose to solve unknown dangers instead of keeping a box of dim sum.
After taking the bag handed by Eckerd and putting the iron box in his hand into it, Qin Ran said directly: "Stop." ”
Chirping!
With the sound of brakes, the nanny car stopped steadily on the side of the road.
