The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 61: Gan Xingba is convinced by General Huang, and Luo Gongqi hunts wild boars to find spices
Luo Yuan and his companions stopped to rest after walking for a day. Huang Zhong had arranged everything in an orderly manner. The inner and outer military camps were in order. The outer layer was a wooden fence with sentry posts inside. The tents of Luo Yuan and his companions were at the innermost.

Gan Ning thought it was amazing, so he didn't take it so seriously. Setting up camp is a basic quality for every general, but Gan Ning was born a pirate and had never learned it, so he fought based on instinct.

Fortunately, I have good talent to become a general.

After looking at Huang Zhong's camp, Gan Ning and Luo Yuan exchanged glances repeatedly. It was clear at a glance whether Huang Zhong had the ability or not. Huang Zhong definitely had the ability.

After setting up camp, Huang Zhong personally led his men on patrol without fear of hard work. When he saw lazy soldiers, Huang Zhong did not beat or scold them, but comforted them in a kind voice and visited the wounded. When he saw some soldiers died, Huang Zhong's eyes turned red.

Gan Ning said: "Gongqi, Han Sheng is a talented general."

"How did you know?"

“I just heard him talking to the soldiers. He almost cried as he personally cleaned and bandaged the wounds of the injured. I heard that Wu Qi was the same. So I know that Han Sheng is a talented general. Such a talent should not be missed!” Gan Ning felt that there was a gap between himself and Huang Zhong, and he could not do this at all.

Huang Zhong ambushed Luo Yuan. Naturally there were injuries in the battle between the two sides. Huang Zhong did not give up any of them and took them all with him. Luo Yuan did not say anything.

Being injured will greatly slow down Luo Yuan's speed.

But Luo Yuan knew that this was a test from Huang Zhong to himself.

Huang Zhong did it on purpose.

At this time, the attitude towards injuries is quite rough. Only those who can be saved will be saved, and seriously injured people will even be killed actively.

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Han Sheng can be a general, not just a brave general!"

Gan Ning smiled and said, "I think that Sun is very concerned about General Huang. If Jiangdong offers him a generous gift, Han Sheng may be tempted!"

Luo Yuan whispered, "How do you know? This is not my intention. We met in times of danger and even experienced life and death. You protected me and made plans for me, so I naturally believed in you. But how can I trust Han Sheng? I only employ people I trust. I trust people I employ, and I don't doubt them. I don't employ people I don't trust, because our cause is unprecedented. Although Han Sheng is a fierce general, he is also from a noble family. I may not trust him now!"

"Gongqi, are you being too cautious? I don't think he is that kind of person!" Gan Ning had a great fondness for Huang Zhong.

"It's not wrong to be careful. It will take seven or eight days to get to Xinye. With injuries, our speed will be slower, so it will take half a month. This is a good time to observe Han Sheng carefully. Although I like him, I also need him to accept our careers. Otherwise, we will go our separate ways one day. By then, I probably won't be able to kill him." Luo Yuan said.

Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, he knew the cause that Gong Qi was talking about, which was to defeat all the nobles in the world and let the people live and work in peace.

Gan Ning's heart was filled with passion, but he endured it tightly. When he thought of this cause, he wanted to roar loudly.

"Or are you right? It's possible that Han Sheng is not on the same side as us. In that case, should I keep a closer eye on him?"

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "That's not necessary, Xingba. Since I've allowed him to come with us, I'll leave the protection to him. Don't worry about it. Let Han Sheng decide everything. Let's bet on him once!"

Gan Ning disagreed. "Gongqi, your safety is of the utmost importance. How can we take it lightly? Even if Han Sheng is willing to join us, he is new here after all. There is no reason to entrust your safety to him. I will keep watch for you tonight."

"No, I want to see what kind of person Han Sheng is!" Luo Yuan said with a smile: "Observe his words and deeds to know his character. This is the way to judge a person. If I don't have confidence, how can I do this?"

Just as Luo Yuan finished speaking, Huang Zhong came over, seemingly carrying something on his back. When he got closer, Huang Zhong put down the thing, and it turned out to be a wild boar. Huang Zhong said, "I went to kill a pig and offer it to you, my lord, to make amends for what happened today. Thank you for not blaming me and letting me kill the pig and cut the meat for you, my lord!"

Luo Yuan's face twitched. The wild boar was as fierce as a tiger, and it was killed just like that?
It’s so fierce. So fierce.

Luo Yuan naturally nodded in agreement. Huang Zhong cut off the wild boar's head with his knife, then skinned it and drained its blood. In a short while, the wild boar was dealt with!

"Han Sheng, you seem very skilled, just like you have killed a pig before!"

Huang Zhong laughed and said, "When I was young, I had not yet entered the government. My family was poor and I could only make a living by hunting. Later, I met a famous teacher and learned a lot of skills. However, the world was unstable and I had no way to make a living. So I went hunting again and often shared pork with my neighbors, so I was very familiar with it!"

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, Zhang Yide is also a good butcher, but he has something to say to Han Sheng."

Huang Zhong was stunned. Why did Gong Qi talk about killing pigs? Did he despise his background? Huang Zhong felt a little depressed.

Luo Yuan saw this and said, "Han Sheng, I want some tenderloin, oh, that is, some of the lean meat below the ribs in the pig's abdomen, and some meat from the back!"

"This...I can't tell the difference!"

"Let me do it!" Luo Yuan snatched the knife, took a look at it, and the knife was okay, but he still sharpened it and started to work!
Luo Yuan's movements were as smooth as flowing water. In his hands, he immediately cut the big piece of pork into pieces, such as ribs, tenderloin, hind legs, front legs, elbows, etc.

"The bones of the hind legs are big, so you need to use some force when splitting them. Cut the knife a little above the joint, circle it, and then break it. Then cut the knife here, circle it again, and you will see the big bone is out. It's great for making soup."

Luo Yuan patted the soft pork elbow meat and said, "This is a good thing. If it is braised, it tastes great. It requires more than a dozen spices such as star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, and vanilla. It is slow-cooked with salt and wine over low heat. It is a delicacy in the world. It can also help women who have given birth to have breasts that grow stronger.

Huang Zhong looked at Luo Yuan as if he had seen a ghost. How come you, a scholar, know so much about pigs?

I thought you looked down on me, but it turns out I was overthinking.

Gan Ning quickly asked, "Gongqi, can you cook?"

snort!
Who are you looking down on? As a good young man of the new era, we are good cooks. After all, we will starve to death if we don’t cook for ourselves.

Luo Yuan thought about it, but unfortunately he only had some salt, and certainly no other spices. The Han people's diet could only be tasted and seasoned in big cities, which were not available in ordinary places. Having salt was good enough.

However, Luo Yuan had a solution. He looked at Huang Zhong and Gan Ning and said, "Wild boar meat has a fishy smell and needs spices to remove the smell. However, we have wine, but we lack spices now!"

Gan Ning looked at Huang Zhong. Gong Qi naturally told them this, so he must know where the spices are.

"Just tell me where it is and I'll get it for you!"

"I smell a strong fragrance on Sun's body. I conclude that she must have something like a sachet, which seems to contain cinnamon and musk. How about you steal it?"

Gan Ning and Huang Zhong were shocked. The two old men stared at Luo Yuan with their eyes wide open and looked at him with contempt.
