The billowing smoke from the firewood choked Xue Ning and Feng Chao, bringing tears to their eyes.
Qiu Yan rubbed her forehead, recalling the scene of Ling Qi and Ling Ba lighting a fire for their own family for the first time.
"Cousin, come and help."
Qiu Yan summoned Ling Ba to start a fire, but in front of all the soldiers, she really didn't want to address Ling Ba by his given name.
"Okay," Ling Ba replied with a smile.
It's rare that I can be of use.
With Ling Ba busy with other things, Lieutenant Yuan had to deal with the sheep bones by himself, while Xue Ning and Feng Chao went to prepare the sheep offal.
In the following time, Qiu Yan added more flour to the muddy batter.
Once the fire boils, the lamb bones and offal have been mostly processed and chopped.
Qiu Yan then had the four of them put all the ingredients into a pot and cook them.
Then Xue Ning and Feng Chao set the fire on high flames... Captain Yuan cleared away the blood foam... Ling Bayi added the seasonings to the pot one by one...
The four of them were busy and flustered, working feverishly.
They all suffered because they didn't know how to cook.
The first time they cooked with Qiu Yan was an unforgettable experience for them.
Fortunately, today's lunch was passable.
Half an hour later, the mutton offal broth was bubbling and steaming in the pot.
The aroma wafting from the pot constantly tantalized the soldiers' taste buds.
They glanced at the stove every now and then, wondering how long it would be before dinner was served.
So hungry~~~
Commandant Yuan ordered all the soldiers to stop what they were doing and rest on the spot.
After a long day of hard work, it's natural to want to balance work and rest.
It was already past midnight.
Seeing the soldiers' eyes fixed on the stove and inhaling the aroma of the mutton soup, Qiu Yan knew that they were starving.
Putting aside the soldiers, she was also hungry. Wasn't this part of the morning's schedule, and her medicine-making also caused a slight delay?
She glanced at the mutton soup in the pot and saw that it was almost cooked.
Have Ling Ba and Captain Yuan wash their hands, roll the dough into long sheets, cut it into strips, and make ramen.
She can't make hand-pulled noodles by herself.
With both Commander Ling Ba and Commandant Yuan taking action personally, Xue Ning and Feng Chao couldn't just stand by and watch.
They washed their hands and joined in.
Four people weren't enough, so Zhang Meng, Lü Chong, and Jiang Sheng also came to help make ramen.
Seven people gathered around the stove, and the long strips they made grew thicker and thicker...
It doesn't matter what it's made of, since Qiu Yan only has two hands.
She's too busy; she's going to roast a leg of lamb...
The lamb leg wasn't marinated for very long, but it was already getting late.
Compared to before, the baking process is much simpler.
She secured the nine lamb legs with pre-prepared wire, freeing her hands to occasionally roll them over.
In the sweltering summer heat, she wouldn't be foolish enough to sit in front of the fire forever; the heat would kill her.
Once the noodles were cooked, the soldiers couldn't wait any longer. They grabbed their bowls and chopsticks and crowded around the two large iron pots, scrambling to get some.
They were afraid that if they were late, there would be nothing left to eat.
Xue Ning and Feng Chao ladled out the soup, while Lü Chong and Jiang Sheng scooped out the noodles, distributing them evenly according to the number of people.
Because he was feeling unwell, Zhang Meng sat down in front of the stove and added firewood.
Today, to ensure that all the soldiers have enough to eat, Qiu Yan kneaded a large enough amount of dough.
If it's not enough, keep cooking.
While Qiu Yan was stirring the lamb leg, Ling Ba, holding two bowls of lamb soup noodles, sat down not far away, leaning against a big tree.
Seeing Qiu Yan walking towards him, he gave her a bowl of mutton soup noodles.
"You must be hungry after being busy all day."
"I've been starving for ages." Qiu Yan took the mutton soup noodles, took a sip of the soup first,
