Li Qiang naturally has an unparalleled sense of trust in Qi Zhen.
Although Jiang Yan still maintains some doubts about Qi Zhen's approach, due to Jiang Yan's own character, she will not have any doubts about Qi Zhen's judgment or decision-making.
This is why Jiang Yan chose to rest without hesitation after asking Qi Zhen if she was sure.
It was Meng Ran who would raise such a question under such circumstances.
Qi Zhen once again introduced the possible design mechanism of this game to Meng Ran.
"For the current mission node, it is equivalent to splitting one battle into two. I believe you can understand this."
Meng Ran nodded.
"In other words, the battle between us and Zhang Zongchang in the wine cellar can be regarded as the first stage of this battle. If we go to the Chenghuang Temple, then 80% of the time we will start the second stage of the battle directly, and the second stage of the battle is possible It will be more difficult than the first stage, can you understand this?" Qi Zhen asked.
Meng Ran nodded again.
"In most games, there is no gap between the first stage and the second stage. A certain BOSS suddenly picks up a certain weapon, or the combat power suddenly increases, causing the difficulty of the raid to directly increase by one. Grade. For example, when we faced King Xianli, he suddenly became demonic and became difficult to match."
"But once the scene changes between the first and second phases of a battle, it means that the battle is interrupted in the middle. At this time, there is a high possibility that the BOSS will maintain the blood left over from the first phase. The strength and status will directly enter the second stage. In this case, the period between the two stages can be left for players to improve and recover."
"Of course, we can't rule out that when entering the next stage, the BOSS will directly return to its peak state, which is equivalent to the team fighting again."
"But no matter which one it is, we should fully rest and recover here, instead of rushing forward to die."
"I can probably understand what you mean." Meng Ran said.
"This is the biggest difference between game thinking and life thinking." Qi Zhen said.
“Always remember, before the player takes action, all plots must revolve around the player. Behind the occurrence of all the events we do, there is the inevitability of the system design logic, and these events must serve the players. "
"This is why you chose to stand still at this time." said suddenly.
Qi Zhen nodded.
"But this does not prevent us from increasing our chances of winning." Qi Zhen said.
"Oh? How to do it?" Meng Ran asked.
"Let's eat first, I'm so hungry." Qi Zhen said.
It was okay that Qi Zhen didn't say anything, but Meng Ran's stomach started growling when he mentioned being hungry.
Meng Ran's face turned red and he said, "I'm hungry too."
Qi Zhen found it a little funny and asked her: "When you were performing tasks in the past, were there situations where you were following suspects or not being discovered by bad guys?"
"Yes." Meng Ran didn't understand why Qi Zhen suddenly mentioned this.
"If your stomach growled like this at that time, wouldn't it be discovered by the target in an instant?" Qi Zhen said with a smile.
Meng Ran knew that he was making her happy, so he was not angry, and said: "Let's put it this way, you know that when we were performing tasks before, everyone would carry some small snacks, chocolates, etc., in order to carry out the task. Due to the mission, we may not be able to eat a hot meal for half a month or even a month, so we have to seize every opportunity to eat."
Qi Zhen understood.
The two went to the kitchen to see if they could find something to eat.
At this time, lunch time has not yet come, and the kitchen is also busy.
Seeing Qi Zhen and Qi Zhen appear here, the cook quickly put down what he was doing and said hello to them.
"Master, is there anything else to eat?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Lunch hasn't been made yet. How about you two wait?" the cook asked.
"No, I'm too hungry and can't wait any longer." Qi Zhen shook her head.
"There are leftover porridge and steamed buns in the morning, why don't you just have a few bites?" the cook asked uncertainly.
"Great, bring it to us quickly." Qi Zhen was really hungry.
Then the two of them understood how much of a compromise the cook meant.
Looking at the bowl of rice cereal in front of them and the steamed buns that were almost cooked over and over again, the two of them looked at each other and felt that the food in Zhang Dacai's family was too bad.
But after all, they are people who have had dinner here, and of course they know that the chefs in Zhang Mansion cannot be of this level.
So I felt in my heart that Zhang Dacai might be deliberately making things difficult.
Qi Zhen was thinking more, maybe Zhang Dacai was taking revenge on them because of Uncle Zong.
When the cook looked at their faces, he knew that they had some misunderstandings.
He hurriedly explained what happened in the morning to the two of them. He only regretted that the cook himself did not know the situation. The breakfast was hot and cold, cold and hot again, and finally it became what Qi Zhen saw.
The cook said that when he woke up in the morning, the faces of the family members looking at the breakfast were not very good, and they were afraid that his work would be over, but could he blame himself?
How could he know that Zhang Dacai's family was worried about the teapot? How could he have the energy to care about a cook like him?
Seeing that there was really no need to eat this kind of food just because she was hungry, Qi Zhen chose to wait for lunch to be cooked. Meng Ran didn't care. He had never eaten leftovers in this profession, and he really didn't think it was important to eat what was in front of him. What a difficult thing.
But since there are good ones out there, it doesn’t matter if you wait.
Slice the chicken and cucumber, wrap the chicken in cornstarch and stir-fry until cooked, then add the cucumber to the pan and stir-fry for a while, season with salt, add two spoons of the prepared stock, and simmer over medium heat. After the cucumber slices are slightly soft, reduce the juice over high heat, then add water starch to thicken the pot and serve. This is the chicken slices.
Stir-fry the dried plums with soy sauce and white sugar wine. Select the fat and lean pork belly, put it into the onion and ginger wine and simmer it in the pot. When the chopsticks can be inserted into the meat without any obstruction, take the meat out and marinate it with brown sugar, soy sauce and wine for a while. Deep-fry over high heat until golden brown, let cool, then slice into pieces, put some seasonings on the meat, lay on the prunes, top with the sauce used to marinate the meat, steam for half an hour, and add the steamed soup to thicken the meat. On top of the braised pork, there is an authentic braised pork with pickled vegetables.
The cook put out some prepared dishes in advance, which served as food for Qi Zhen and Meng Ran.
…
…
The chef didn't dare to be careless when cooking for the master's family. He would change the dishes every day for the master and his wife to taste his cooking. How many meats and vegetables were there every day? What was on the menu? What dishes were served to the guests when they came? What were the servants eating? , these were all arranged by Uncle Zong at the beginning of the month.
But the cook doesn't know that Uncle Zong will probably never come back again.
