One sheep belonged to them personally, and the remaining three were given to the military region.
The five people had no objections. A sheep weighs 100 jin (50 kg), and the five of them could each get 20 jin (10 kg) of mutton.
Master Xue first divided the meat for them, and then Ye Zhaozhao instructed him to air-dry the rest.
Master Xue said that he hadn't given everyone meat for a few days, so today was a good opportunity to nourish everyone's bodies.
Ye Zhaozhao decided to cook a big pot of mutton soup. Nothing smells better than mutton soup. Knowing that there was mutton soup, Sun Xiuhua and the others stayed to help.
It was supposed to be mutton soup, but there was no shortage of meat. Ye Zhaozhao took fifty catties of mutton, chopped it into pieces, added salt and water, and soaked it for ten minutes.
Blanch the mutton in cold water, then put it in boiling water with scallions and ginger. Simmer for half an hour, then turn to low heat and simmer for another twenty minutes.
The mutton soup turned white and thick, and Ye Zhaozhao added radishes to it.
Then, while she was making pancakes, Sun Xiuhua and the others helped her knead the dough. By the time the pancakes were done, the mutton soup was ready.
At this moment, everyone finished training. As soon as they heard that there was mutton soup, they ran to the canteen, where Ye Zhaozhao and the others distributed the soup to everyone.
There were at least ten pieces of mutton in each bowl, and everyone eagerly sat down to drink the soup.
The mutton is neither gamey nor tough, and the mutton soup is fresh and delicious. Paired with a piece of flatbread, it's incredibly fragrant.
Everyone experienced the joy of eating meat to their heart's content. Seeing that there were almost enough people, Ye Zhaozhao and the others also filled a bowl and squatted down to drink it.
It smells so good, it's absolutely delicious.
When Gu Yunduan and the others arrived at the canteen, all they could hear was the sound of people slurping soup. They were still wondering where the mutton came from when Sun Xiuhua told them what had happened.
Zhou Dawu was surprised that his wife was really capable, catching a wild boar once and a sheep once, and he had to look at her with new respect.
"You guys are amazing! You're really impressive!"
"That's right, hurry up and drink the soup, then go home."
When Xu Pandi heard that Ye Zhaozhao and the others had caught a goat, she felt extremely regretful.
I knew she shouldn't have gone down the mountain. No, she needs to drink a few more bowls of soup.
When Ya Dan and Ya Ya saw that Xu Pandi was drinking soup and not inviting them, their expressions changed.
Without thinking twice, he ran home, grabbed a pot, and rushed to the cafeteria.
Seeing them bring out the pot, Ye Zhaozhao worried that the two of them wouldn't be able to finish such a large meal.
These days, iron pots are huge! If you were to eat such a big pot of mutton, you'd be stuffed to the point of bursting.
"Give us both the full game."
"You two can eat some first, and then come back for more soup when you're done. There's still plenty left."
The two ignored her words and only said "full marks," so Ye Zhaozhao had no choice but to give them full marks.
After getting the meat, the two of them also took ten flatbreads.
The two of them went outside the cafeteria and started eating pancakes and drinking soup. After eating five pancakes and leaving half a pot of soup, Ya Ya was already too full.
"Ya Dan, I'm full."
"No, we have to finish it all. Who knows when we'll get to eat meat again after this meal? Eat quickly."
"Ya Dan, I really can't eat anymore."
"You must eat it."
Ya Ya had no choice but to open her mouth, and Ya Dan poured soup into it. In the end, the two of them finished the whole pot of mutton soup and ten flatbreads.
The two of them were so full they couldn't even speak. They didn't know how they got home. As soon as they got home, they went to bed.
After Ye Zhaozhao finished her work, Gu Yunduan carried the meat and two sacks of mushrooms home. Along the way, they encountered many people carrying soup, and they ate the mutton.
They didn't want to drink the soup like that; they thought it would be delicious to cook noodles with it when they got home tomorrow. Ye Zhaozhao was also a bit full today.
Back home, she walked around the yard several times before going to sleep. In the middle of the night, Ye Zhaozhao heard someone knocking on the door, and Gu Yunduan got dressed and went to open it.
Seeing that it was Sun Xiuhua, Ye Zhaozhao was puzzled. Why was Sister-in-law Sun coming over at this hour?
"Zhaozhao, something happened to Xu Pandi's child."
"What's wrong?"
"She said she had a stomachache and kept rolling around in bed. She said the pain started after she drank mutton soup in the afternoon. The military leaders have already gone there, but Xu Pandi insists that the mutton soup was unclean."
Ye Zhaozhao suddenly remembered the big pot of mutton soup. She understood what was going on and quickly went to Xu Pandi's house with Sun Xiuhua.
Upon seeing Ye Zhaozhao, Xu Pandi grabbed her and started yelling at her.
"Ye Zhaozhao, you woman, what grudge do you have against those two children that you want to harm them?"
Ye Zhaozhao couldn't stand her bad habit of spouting nonsense, so she immediately shoved her away.
“Xu Pandi, don’t talk nonsense without evidence. So many people drank the mutton soup, including you. How come you’re fine?”
"I...I..."
Xu Pandi was speechless, and the people around her had long disapproved of her behavior and immediately began to speak.
"She's not usually that good to the child, but now she's starting to play the role of a loving mother."
Hearing this, Xu Pandi's face turned red with anger, but she couldn't refute it because what they said was true, and Ye Zhaozhao was thinking about the child.
"You two drank the whole pot of mutton soup?"
Both Ya Dan and Ya Ya were sweating profusely from the pain, but they refused to speak.
Commander Zhu thought he should send them to the military hospital as soon as possible, but the two children were afraid of going to the hospital, so he nodded.
Everyone: My goodness, such a young child drank a whole pot of mutton soup, and not only the soup but also the meat and flatbread.
Ye Zhaozhao came up with a solution.
"Commander Zhu, we need to induce vomiting immediately, otherwise the two children might get into trouble on the way to the hospital."
Seeing Ye Zhaozhao's determined eyes, Commander Zhu believed in her, but there was no one who knew how to induce vomiting right now. Ye Zhaozhao knew how to induce vomiting.
They called Sun Xiuhua and Chen Sufeng for help. The two children didn't want to vomit; they couldn't bring themselves to throw up the meat they had worked so hard to eat.
