I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 637 Champion, versatile
Three days later, Yuan Shao’s camp.

Guo Tu and Gao Lan could no longer contain themselves.

They kept their nerves tense for three days and three nights, waiting for Su Yao's attack.

However, Su Yao seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, with no news of him left.

"Could it be that Su Yao is really scared and dares not to come?" Guo Tu said somewhat unwillingly.

Gao Lan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Su Yao has always been arrogant. He won't give up so easily."

"Then why hasn't he come yet?" Guo Tu frowned.

Gao Lan pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps he is waiting for an opportunity, or perhaps he is deliberately stalling for time in order to wear down our will."

Hearing this, Guo Tu became even more anxious.

He knew very well that the longer the time dragged on, the more detrimental it would be to their plans.

After all, they couldn't keep guarding like this forever.

If we relax and Su Yao seizes the opportunity, the consequences will be disastrous.

What's more crucial is that Feng Ji and others have been persuading Yuan Shao recently not to hesitate. He should either directly use the advantage of the large army to launch an attack, or retreat to Hulao, let Su Yao leave and plan other options.

Instead, the two armies sat under the city of Luoyang and glared at each other.

Guo Tu knew that he didn't have much time left. Having already failed once, he was counting on this ambush to change his fate.

However, he had no choice in this situation.

Unexpectedly, just when Guo Tu was at a loss, a messenger suddenly came to report:

"Report! Report from the city!"

"Champion Hou Su Yao will leave the city and march west tomorrow!"

"what?"

Guo Tu was surprised:

"He, just left like that?"

Guo Tu was surprised, and Yuan Shao was also surprised.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, I didn't see anyone, but instead I got the news that he had left.

"That boy, has he changed his personality?"

"Or does he really not take this matter to heart?"

Yuan Shao murmured to himself, and then began to doubt the strict vigilance in the past few days.

Is he just too sensitive? Is it unnecessary to torture the soldiers like this?

However, Guo Tu remained vigilant:

"I don't think so!"

Guo Tu looked unwilling:
"Now that Su Yao has the assistance of Lord Lu and others, he may have learned some tricks."

"This statement might be his evil trick to paralyze us!"

"He is waiting for the moment when we let our guard down, and then he will suddenly attack. Lord Yuan must not be careless."

"Evil plot?" Yuan Shao frowned, then agreed with Guo Tu's statement.

"Unless you see Su Yao is gone, otherwise, everything will remain as usual."

Yuan Shao's camp remained on high alert. At the same time, Yuan Shao proposed to personally send Su Yao off the next day.

He would not be able to feel at ease until he saw the champion leave with his own eyes.

However, he didn't know that Su Yao had already arrived at his camp!

"Wow, boy, your cooking skills are amazing!"

In Yuan Shao's camp, at the fireman's barracks, the old cook named Wang exclaimed in praise while holding the bowl in his hand.

What he saw before him was a food he had never seen before.

No, I have seen it before, it’s rice.

Although the north focuses on wheat and mainly eats pasta, old cooks still know how to cook rice.

However, the bowl in his hand is unique in the world!

This bowl of rice is crystal clear, and each grain is plump, as if it has absorbed the essence of heaven and earth. Its color is golden, and its aroma is fragrant, making people salivate.

Each grain of rice was covered with oil, crystal clear, like tiny golden beads, glittering with attractive luster. The old cook picked up the bowl and looked at it carefully. He had never seen rice with such attractive color and fragrance, not to mention that the rice was mixed with egg shreds, chopped green onions and other ingredients, which were colorful and appetizing.

Just looking at this bowl of rice, the old cook couldn't even bear to pick up his chopsticks.

He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said:
"Is this really something I can eat?"

Under the urging of Su Yao's gaze, the old cook carefully scooped up a spoonful of rice and put it into his mouth.

At this moment, he felt the sky and earth change color, and his whole body felt as if struck by lightning!

The soft and elastic texture instantly blooms on the tip of the tongue, mixed with the fresh fragrance of eggs and the fresh fragrance of chopped green onions. The taste is distinct and wonderful.

The old cook couldn't help but close his eyes and savor the food carefully, as if he was completely conquered by the deliciousness of this bowl of fried rice.

God have mercy on him, he has never eaten such delicious food in his life.

This is the real, legendary flavor!
This must be a delicacy prepared exclusively for the emperor!

The one who did all this was the young man in front of him who came here from Luoyang City.

"Uncle Wang, thank you for the compliment."

Su Yao chuckled:
“This fried rice is the simplest food.”

"As long as you have this pot, Uncle Wang, you can always make such delicious food in the future."

That’s right, the delicacy Su Yao made was naturally egg fried rice.

And ever since he started the game, he had actually been quite critical of the really weird food here.

However, because he was constantly trying to break through, the demand for experience was very high, so Su Yao, who was a strength-oriented person, just endured it for the time being and used the best steel on the blade, improving his combat power, purchasing equipment, horses, physical medicine, and so on.

Recently, as the situation has been basically resolved and the combat effectiveness and size of his troops have been improved, Su Yao naturally has to start thinking of ways to improve the food problem.

Food is the most important thing for people. He was really fed up with the system's default food which was dry, cold, hard, or just a pot of paste.

However, what really motivated Su Yao to learn cooking skills were two things in the past.

One was the last time when they went wolf hunting. Su Yao, who always liked to eat barbecue with his friends in the summer, had the first time to eat such primitive barbecue.

The second time, which was when he really clicked on the skill, was when he arrived at Yique Pass and saw Princess Wannian so helpless and even started a hunger strike.

That night, Su Yao finally remembered that he had a culinary skill, so he went into the kitchen himself and stewed a pot of chicken soup with the existing ingredients. He then added some spices that he had exchanged from the mall, allowing Princess Wannian to feel the deliciousness of food for the first time in a long time.

Not only did the little princess shed tears of emotion, but the eldest wife Princess Yun, Hong'er and others also praised it highly.

After that, Su Yao began to think about upgrading the food for the army.

But when he really started, Su Yao discovered that the key to contemporary cuisine is not the ingredients, but the cooking tools.

Although he didn't know what it was like in history, he couldn't find a proper iron pot anywhere here!

Oh my God!
Iron pot, this is the cornerstone of Chinese food culture!

Without an iron pan, frying, stir-frying, or deep-frying would be impossible, let alone those complicated cooking techniques.

The weird thing is, maybe because iron pots are too low-level, Su Yao has been looking for them in the mall for two months, but he has never seen them appear again.

Of course, this is not a problem for Su Yao.

I can’t buy it through the system, so I just do it myself.

So, after entering Luoyang, Su Yao went to the official blacksmith shop when he was clearing the branch line these days.

As a result, when Su Yao arrived there, he discovered that all the reliable old craftsmen had been taken away by Dong Zhuo, and only a few apprentices and some craftsmen who were left behind because they were not on duty that day were left there.

The entire official blacksmith shop was actually put into a semi-shutdown state because of this.

That was why his army preparation was so slow.

However, this still does not pose a problem for Su Yao.

The traditional iron pot manufacturing process is not complicated, the key is still the iron smelting technology.

Even without mentioning the manufacturing drawings that were unlocked after he clicked on cooking, with the current Han craftsmanship, with just a little guidance, even an apprentice here can complete the manufacturing.

So, after waiting for another two days and getting the freshly-made pots, Su Yao could finally start implementing his plan one day.

It must be admitted that Yuan Shao's defense was indeed very tight. On the surface, there seemed to be opportunities to exploit, but secretly there were many crises within.

Unless you force your way in, there is no room to sneak in.

However, relying on this iron pot and his excellent cooking skills, Su Yao swaggered into the camp with the caravan of the city's noble families, stayed there until the evening, and got a great opportunity to approach the target.
