Chapter 470 I am a Super Robot
On the helicopter, Nangong Wu watched the soldiers run back into the city and close the city gate, which had the words "Yanggu Pass" written on it.
"Rumble..."
The helicopter slowly descended.
"Your Highness, the soldiers in Yanggu City have discovered us," Li Shuang said.
"It doesn't matter." Nangong Wu unbuckled her seatbelt.
The plane's roar was so loud that it could be heard three or four miles away, making it difficult to avoid being detected, but it didn't matter.
"Your Highness, they have already closed the city gates. What should we do?" Li Cheng asked.
"Enter the city from another place." Nangong Wu put away the helicopter and used her light-footed skills to head west.
Li Feng and Li Cheng seemed to understand what she was going to do. The couple exchanged a glance and followed her.
A little over two quarters of an hour later, the three of them appeared in Yanggu City in a horse-drawn carriage.
Yanggu City is several times larger than Lindong City, and has a larger population. Since it's not snowing today, the people have all gone out into the streets, some sweeping snow, others shopping.
Nangong Wu, Li Feng, and Li Cheng changed their faces and walked onto a main street.
"Let's find a steamed bun shop first."
She hoped that the soldiers would be able to have lunch after entering the city.
"Selling steamed buns! Cheap steamed buns!" came the shouts.
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng stopped the carriage in front of the steamed bun shop.
The steamed bun shop was quite large, with the stall set up in front of the shop. Steam was still rising from the steamers in several pots, but business didn't seem to be very good. There weren't many customers in front of the stall, and the shop owner was calling out to passersby.
"Boss, how much are your steamed buns?" Li Shuang asked as she walked up to the stall.
The shop owner, seeing customers arrive, immediately put on a smile. "Vegetarian buns and steamed bread are one coin each, meat buns are two coins each, and egg buns are three coins for two. What would you three gentlemen like to eat?"
"We'll take them all," Li Shuang said.
"You want them all?" The shop owner was taken aback, thinking he had misheard, and asked again uncertainly, "Sir, you mean you want to buy all the steamed buns in our shop?"
"Yes, I'll take it all, as many as you can get, including all the boiled tea eggs." Li Shuang nodded.
The shop owner hesitated for a moment and told her, "Young lady, business isn't very good today. We probably have over a thousand steamed buns and mantou, but we haven't sold many. Are you sure you want them all?"
"I'll take them all." Li Shuang took out a silver ingot and threw it on a table. "Be careful, tell me how many you have."
The shop owner's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the money, and he was overjoyed. "Alright, I'll order right away."
Hearing their words, two people came out of the shop to help them order steamed buns.
Inside the carriage, Nangong Wu asked Li An and Eileen to come out and help.
Li Shuang watched as the shop owner ordered steamed buns, while Li Cheng and Li An carried the steamers toward the carriage.
After counting the steamed buns and mantou, Li Shuang asked, "Boss, these aren't enough. Can you make more?"
"You want more?" the shop owner asked, puzzled. "Young lady, what are you going to do with so many buns?"
Li Shuang's face darkened slightly. "Of course we need to eat. You don't need to ask so many questions. Can you still make it by noon?"
The dough for making steamed buns and mantou needs to be fermented before it can be made. Now that the weather is cold, the flour ferments slowly, so I don't know if they will still be able to make them.
Seeing her displeasure, the shop owner didn't dare ask any more questions. "We still have some fermented dough that hasn't been made yet, but it might take half an hour to steam it after it's done. Can you wait that long?"
"I can wait." Li Shuang took out another five-tael silver ingot and placed it on the table in front of him.
"This is the deposit. Please give us a receipt. We'll come back in an hour and a half to collect it. We'll take as much as you can make. It would be best if you made steamed buns, as that would be faster. We'll also take as many eggs as you can cook."
"Alright!" The shop owner took the money, gave her a receipt, and stamped it.
The carriage moved forward, searching for the next steamed bun shop.
There are many steamed bun shops in Yanggu City, but most of them are small businesses with few staff, and the number of steamed buns and mantou they make is far from enough to feed an army of 300,000.
Nangong Wu stepped down from the carriage and instructed, "We'll split up and find a restaurant. Ask them to make some stew, rice, or anything else edible. Make as much as they can."
"Yes." Li Shuang, Li An, and Li Cheng immediately dispersed to search.
Nangong Wu felt that this was far from enough, so she even went to a wonton stall on the street, bought all their wontons, and took out meat and vegetables to have them cook for her.
An hour passed.
Eileen returned to the carriage and saw that Nangong Wu was frowning. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Master, we have a gas cylinder in our space. We can actually move it out to cook."
"Are there gas stoves? How many?" Nangong Wu asked her. "The advance troops will be entering the city in an hour and a half at most."
"I'll go in and take a look." Eileen slipped into the space.
A moment later, Eileen's voice came through, "Master, I found a few large boilers in the supermarket. After cleaning them, we can cook a big stew."
"A large boiler?" Nangong Wu looked inside the space and saw the large boiler that Eileen had found. It was an energy-saving boiler used in restaurants and canteens, about three meters long and about one and a half meters wide in diameter.
"Can you manage all this by yourself?" Nangong Wu asked her.
It's impossible for one person to cook several such large boilers at the same time.
"Sure, I'm a super robot. Nothing is too difficult for me. I can wash potatoes, peel them, chop cabbage, and cut meat. Just add some vermicelli and cook it. I guarantee the soldiers will have a full stomach."
"Okay, give it a try," Nangong Wu said.
If there isn't enough food in the city for an army of 300,000, they'll have to ask the shops to boil water and make instant noodles for them.
Before long, the guards returned.
"Let's go to the city gate," Nangong Wu said.
The army arrived quickly, and they should go to greet them.
"Yes." Li Cheng turned the carriage around and headed back to the north gate.
The walls of Yanggu City stood as if facing a formidable enemy.
After the soldiers spotted Nangong Wu's plane, General Zhuang Jing, who was guarding the city, sensed something was wrong and came to investigate in person.
"General, it must be Nangong Wu leading a large army. Only she has that flying thing. What should we do?" one of Zhuang Jing's trusted confidants asked.
"Let's take a look first." Zhuang Jing kept his eyes fixed on the official road ahead.
"General, we've just received news that all the steamed bun shops, restaurants, and even the wonton stalls on the street in the city have been booked. It's highly likely that Nangong Wu has already entered the city..."
"What?" Zhuang Jing turned around abruptly, his eyes glaring fiercely at his trusted aide. "Why did it take you so long to report this?"
"I just received the news. Nangong Wu is elusive. She may have already entered the city. If it really is her, we're finished!" The confidant's legs went weak.
