Zhang worked efficiently. She quickly cut all the cooked mutton and offal and poured them back into the pot.

"Boss, add more firewood and cook the mutton soup for ten more minutes, then we can eat."

After Zhang finished speaking, she put the bamboo grate into the iron pot and poured all the pancakes she had just cut onto the bamboo grate.

She closed the lid on the pot and clapped her hands happily.

Brother Yun placed all the bowls and chopsticks on the dining table.

Yun Yiyi and the others also washed their hands and sat at the dining table waiting.

"By the way, head of the family, I forgot to ask you, have the elders bought mutton?"

Butcher Yun said loudly, "Wife, don't worry. Although the elders didn't buy mutton, I asked the village chief to give two pounds of mutton to each of the three elders."

"I originally planned to cook mutton and give each of the elders a bowl. Later, I thought about it and decided to just give them meat."

"Give the mutton to the elders of the tribe, and add some more vegetables to their families, so that the whole family can have a good meal."

After listening to this, Zhang gave a thumbs up and said, "The boss is really thoughtful."

"Yes, my father is very thoughtful. If we send the cooked mutton soup, the elders themselves might not be willing to drink it."

"The old man loves the children, and the elders of the tribe will definitely not be willing to eat it themselves."

"Dad's way is better, that way the whole family can get involved in the meat."

"I also think Uncle Yun's approach is good."

Butcher Yun's ears stretched back to his mouth as he listened to everyone's praises.

However, at this time, the three clan elders did put a lot of dried vegetables in the mutton soup just as Zhang had guessed.

The dry version doesn't taste good, but when cooked with lamb, it tastes great.

Everyone was given a few pieces of meat, and the three elders also had some meat themselves.

The family members also praised the elders for doing things for the village on a regular basis, and the villagers thought of the elders when they had something delicious.

When the elders heard this, they were very happy.

The clan elder's family had a much better impression of Yun the Butcher's family.

Butcher Yun has always been thorough in his work. Since he gave meat to the three clan elders, he also gave an extra two kilograms of meat to the village chief.

Therefore, the village chief's family also gave rave reviews when talking about the Yun butcher's family.

After a while, Zhang estimated that the pot cake was heated through.

She lifted the lid of the pot, took out the pot cake, and also took out the bamboo strainer.

"Boss, pass me the bowl. I want to serve the mutton soup."

"Here, mother."

Zhang took the bowl, filled most of it with mutton, and finally added two spoonfuls of milky mutton soup.

Brother Yun took the bowl and continued to pass the empty bowl to Zhang.

Soon, Zhang served six bowls of mutton soup.

"Mom, please sit down and eat. I can't wait." Brother Yun San shouted anxiously.

"Mom, my saliva is about to flow down."

As soon as Yun Yiyi finished her funny words, everyone went to see her.

"What? I was just joking." Yun Yiyi said jokingly.

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Okay, everyone, eat quickly. However, there is no salt in the mutton soup. If you think it tastes bland, you can add salt and vinegar yourself."

"I want to add salt and vinegar." Brother Yun San was the first to speak.

Suddenly, Zhang stood up and took out a handful of dried chilies from the carriage.

She pulled out some charcoal and put the dried chilies into it.

The aroma of the dried chilies soon spread, and Zhang picked out the dried chilies with a wooden stick.

Blow away the ash on top, and then crush it with a garlic mortar. The fragrant chili noodles are ready.

"Whoever wants to eat chili can add it themselves. But this chili is very spicy, so don't put too much." Zhang reminded everyone.

Yun Yiyi added half a spoonful of salt, a spoonful of vinegar, and a handful of chili powder into the mutton soup.

After stirring evenly, she first scooped out a piece of mutton. The mutton was a little spicy, but soft and tender, and especially delicious.

Even if it was lamb offal, Yun the butcher cleaned it very cleanly, and Zhang took a long time to cook it, so it tasted especially good.

"Mom, the mutton soup is delicious, and the mutton is delicious too."

“Mom, did we forget to put the radish in?

As soon as Brother Yun finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

Zhang slapped her forehead and said, "That's right. I was so busy fishing and cutting the meat that I forgot to add the radish."

Butcher Yun laughed and said, "Wife, it's okay. It will be the same if you add radish when you cook mutton soup tonight."

"We will not have mutton soup with radish for lunch. We have plenty of mutton at home."

After hearing what Yun the Butcher said, everyone laughed happily.

It is true that their family has the most mutton, Yun the butcher was right.

Everyone started to concentrate on eating again.

It was snowing heavily outside, the fire in the house was burning red, and the family was sitting around the dining table, talking and laughing while eating.

A similar scene is played out in different rooms of the land temple.

The Yun family’s children still remembered this meal very clearly even when they were old.

Even after many years, Xie Zirui could never forget the delicious mutton soup he had on such a snowy afternoon.

The meal was a little late, but everyone ate very quickly.

The slightly hard pot cakes soaked in the fragrant mutton soup made everyone full.

Yun Yiyi ate three bowls of mutton soup by herself, and the others ate just as much.

"Mom, I can't take it anymore. My belly is about to burst."

Yun Yiyi said lazily.

"Mom, I ate too much."

Zhang and Yun the Butcher looked at each other and saw embarrassment in each other's eyes because they were also full.

Zhang adjusted her expression and said, "It's okay, Yiyi, Third Brother, we don't have anything to do this afternoon, you can just roast some hawthorns to help digestion."

"Yes, your mother is right. We are not leaving in the afternoon anyway, so let's just play in the house."

Everyone chatted around the table for a while.

Yun the butcher stood up and started to work.

He put all the leftover grass residues from the mules and donkeys, as well as their recent feces, into baskets and dumped them in the woods behind the land temple.

When mules and donkeys were used to pull the ropes, Yun the butcher used wood ash to cover the ground.

Therefore, after Yun the Butcher finished cleaning, the ground was still very clean.

Zhang was not idle either. She wiped the bowls and chopsticks with the clean snow brought back by Yun the butcher, and then wiped them again with clean wood ash.

Finally, she scalded the bowl and chopsticks again with hot water, so that they were especially clean and free of the mutton smell.

Butcher Yun put the mutton into a clay pot and covered it with clean snow.

Then, he brought the clay basin to the door, so that you could see the basin as soon as you turned your head.

He washed the few remaining pieces of mutton and put them into the big iron pot.

He also refilled the pot with water.

After he put the lid on the pot again, Brother Yun and a few others gathered around the stove, started to light a fire and roast hawthorns.
