After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

When everyone had almost finished eating, Ye Wanyin brought over a large bowl.

"If you're still hungry, try my hot pot lamb! It's really delicious! You absolutely have to try it! I can't possibly eat all of this by myself, so I'm sharing it with you all!" Ye Wanyin said enthusiastically.

The group exchanged glances: Huh? Is someone still hungry?

One sheep is enough for seven people, and there's also mutton offal soup and baked flatbread.

Ye Wanyin was obviously implying that Ye Sanqing ate a lot and didn't leave any food for others, but unfortunately no one understood what she meant.

Pei Canxing glanced at the bowl she brought over, his expression twisting: "You call this hot pot mutton?"

This dish... doesn't seem to pose any obvious danger, like it's burnt or anything; it at least looks cooked.

However... it really is just water and mutton.

Clear water.

mutton.

"Is there a problem? Isn't this how you make hot pot?" Ye Wanyin asked, puzzled.

As the name suggests, hot pot lamb is simply lamb cooked in water!

"Do you know, Ye Wanyin, wasting food will bring divine retribution." Ye Sanqing, who was sitting relatively close, could even smell the muttony odor.

Although fresh lamb doesn't have a strong flavor, Ye Wanyin's knife skills were poor, resulting in messy, unevenly cooked strips...

If you didn't know this was a hot pot restaurant, you'd think it was a dismemberment scene, with the murderer even cooking the body.

"Or... let's call Dahuang over, so as not to waste it," Ye Sanqing said considerately.

Even she, who isn't a picky eater, couldn't stomach this.

"Sister, are you saying that what I made is dog food?"

Seeing that Ye Wanyin was about to cry again, everyone reflexively stood up. "Oh, the moon is so round tonight."

"I'm too full, I'm going out for a walk to digest."

"Is no one going to take a shower? I'll go first then!"

"Then I'll go wash the dishes!"

Everyone suddenly became very busy.

"I'll go find Dahuang," Ye Sanqing said, getting up as well.

“No need to look for Big Yellow,” Sheng Hanyu said while tidying up the remaining bones. “I saw a Big Black a few houses to the left, just look for Big Black. I’ll take the bones over to Big Black now. Teacher Ye, should I take the meat you made over with me?”

He even thoughtfully asked Ye Wanyin a question!

Ye Wanyin: ...No, don't you people have any empathy at all?

"Forget it... feeding it to the dog is just wasting food, isn't it? I can't do that, I'll eat it myself!" Ye Wanyin said as if she had made up her mind, and then sat down by the stove with the bowl in her hand.

Everyone, evacuate the scene immediately!

"I'll go find Big Black too." Ye Sanqing put his hands in his pockets, thinking that he didn't have anything else to do tonight, so he might as well go check on the other dogs.

"..." Ye Wanyin, who had just sat down, regretted it very much. If she hadn't made any hot pot, she might have been able to go find Dahei with Sheng Hanyu right now!

"Oh. Ye Wanyin, we can't waste food." Ye Sanqing seemed to suddenly remember something and said to the camera, "She's in everyone's hands now!"

Isn't that going too far? They're practically saying the food they made is for dogs!

【I'm going crazy!!! Why treat lamb like this?!】

Thankfully, she only boiled it, so it's still safe for the dog to eat. If she had added a bunch of random seasonings, it would practically be considered dog abuse.

【Eyes Wide Shut】

Putting everything else aside, just look at how she cut it... I could still vaguely see blood in it, it wasn't cooked at all! What if someone gets food poisoning from eating it? She really dares to put it out for everyone to eat!

[And why didn't she just cut her own portion...? She even said she couldn't finish it all by herself and was worried that everyone else wouldn't have enough to eat... What does that mean? Is it something to brag about having a small appetite?]

[This is an overinterpretation. Five pounds of mutton is too much for anyone to finish, not even with a small appetite.]

This is such a waste! I'm so upset! Does she even know that this is a week's worth of meat?! She can donate it to me if she doesn't want to eat it!!

[You ate quite a lot this week...]

It's not too bad if it's less than a pound a day on average.

So what happens if you freeze what you can't eat first?

[Wanwan meant well, didn't you see Ye Sanqing devour an entire lamb leg by himself? And then he ate a ton of other meat! Humph, a celebrity for a name, he doesn't care about his figure at all!]

Jokes are made every year, but this year there seem to be an unusually large number.

[Master Ye did eat a leg of lamb, and then what? Wasn't that one-eighth? She just ate a few more flatbreads. Xiao Sheng just said that he made them especially for her because he was worried she wouldn't have enough to eat. She didn't steal anyone else's meat at all.]

[And in the end, she only ate what everyone else hadn't finished; she asked before she ate it, because she didn't want to waste food, right?]

[What's wrong with Master Ye's figure? Is it that if you don't look like Ye Wanyin, you're not even qualified?]

[First, you'd have to cut your height by 15 centimeters, which is a bit difficult.]

Don't worry, Master Ye, we'll definitely make sure Ye Wanyin finishes all of this!

After Ye Sanqing finished speaking, he ignored her and went out with Sheng Hanyu, his hands behind his back.

"It's a pity we don't have enough time today, otherwise making some boiled tripe would be nice," Sheng Hanyu said as she walked.

"Water-boiled tripe? What's that?" Ye Sanqing asked, having never eaten it before.

"It's just lamb tripe boiled in water, served with chive blossom sauce, it's especially fragrant. I didn't make it because it's faster to make lamb offal soup, and the production team didn't have chive blossom sauce," Sheng Hanyu said.

"Oh, where can I eat it?" Ye Sanqing asked again. What a pity!

"Hmm... how about we talk to the production team? We should be able to buy lamb tripe and chive blossom sauce outside. If we can, I'll make some for everyone later," Sheng Hanyu said.

“Sure!” Ye Sanqing nodded.

Just then, a cat appeared, walked up to them, lay down on the ground, and exposed its belly.

Ye Sanqing: ?

"Kitten, can you smell the fragrance?" Sheng Hanyu handed the bag of bones she was carrying to Ye Sanqing, squatted down and touched the cat's belly.

The cat immediately started purring!

Ye Sanqing looked at the cat and pondered for a while. He seemed to recall seeing similar gestures from ferocious beasts showing friendliness...

The cat rubbed its head against Sheng Hanyu's hand, and Ye Sanqing took out a bone with meat still attached and tossed it to the cat.

The cat immediately jumped up and began licking the bone.

This cat has all sorts of colors on its body and looks like a burnt sesame ball.

【!! Such an adorable kitten, I suggest sending it to me】

This cat... has tabby markings, so it can't be called a kitten anymore.

[This is solid; it looks like the local bully.]

In reality, the cat wasn't very big; it was just round and chubby, and Sheng Hanyu felt that it had a very solid feel when she touched it.

"Should we give it another one?" Ye Sanqing asked after looking at it for a while.

The cat was focused on eating and ignored the humans.

“One should be enough, it doesn’t look hungry.” Sheng Hanyu stood up and took back the bag. “Let’s go find Big Black.”

The two arrived at Dahei's house, greeted the owners, and handed over all the bones to Dahei's owner.

It's not really good to feed them directly; it's better to leave it to the owner to handle.

When they returned to the courtyard, they found Ye Wanyin being chased by Jiao Maqiu.

"Meow!!" Jiao Maqiu let out a fierce growl, completely different from the way it had been rolling around on the ground just now!

"Ye Wanyin, what's wrong with you?" Ye Sanqing found this very amusing and asked.

"It wants to eat my mutton!" Ye Wanyin screamed, her hair disheveled from running. "If I don't give it to it, it stretches out its claws to scratch me!"

"Ah, isn't this great? You can't finish it anyway, so why not give it to it?" Ye Sanqing said with a smile. "It's quite a nice person. Seeing that you have a heavy burden, it came to help you share the load."

"I don't want it to share the burden! Don't just stand there watching, help me get rid of it!" Ye Wanyin shouted as she hid behind the kitchen door, closed it, and shouted.

Ye Wanyin was also anxious, and stopped calling her "sister".

"Alright." Ye Sanqing wasn't worried about Ye Wanyin being harmed by the cat, but letting the cat run around in the yard might knock things over or hurt innocent bystanders, so it was better to catch it.

"Cat, come here," she tried to call out first.

The charred ball stopped, turned around, and seemed to recognize them as the humans who had given it the bone earlier. It sat down on the spot and licked its paws.

“Hey, cat!” Ye Sanqing said again.

She didn't know how to soothe small animals, and had only ever dealt with wild beasts before, so she could only try calling out to them twice.

Seeing that there was no progress, Sheng Hanyu squatted down and beckoned to the cat, making "sucking" sounds.

Jiao Maqiu seemed to understand, ran over and rubbed against his hand, barking at him as if complaining that Ye Wanyin wouldn't give it meat.

"Teacher Ye, do you still want this meat?" Sheng Hanyu asked, looking at the large bowl that still had half a bowl of mutton left.

"No, no! Get the cat away right now!" Ye Wanyin shouted.

She didn't want to get scratched by the cat; the stray cats in this village were probably filthy!

She peeked out the kitchen window and was shocked to see Sheng Hanyu petting the cat!

He actually touched the cat!!! Such a dirty thing, and he just touched it like that!

When Sheng Hanyu heard her say she didn't want it anymore, she gestured to Ye Sanqing to bring the meat over. She then brought another bag, poured the meat into the bag, and pushed it in front of the cat.

The cat sniffed it.

The cat was very satisfied; it picked up the bag by the handle and walked away.

"This cat can even pack things up?" Ye Sanqing exclaimed in surprise.

"Maybe there are still kittens to take care of at home." Sheng Hanyu stood up and clapped her hands. "Alright, next time it comes over, just give it some leftover, less salty food."

Seeing the cat pack up the food and leave, Ye Wanyin came out as well. She said with some heartache, "That's so much mutton! Just gave it to the cat like that? What a waste!"

"..." Sheng Hanyu and Ye Sanqing were both speechless. One looked up at the sky and the other at the ground, neither intending to respond to Ye Wanyin's words.

Ye Wanyin was actually very happy; she was almost throwing up from eating so much!

It should be said that she had already secretly vomited once while going to the bathroom before returning to continue eating in front of the camera.

But she still wouldn't thank the cat verbally. She kept saying, "You feed the cat so much, what if it remembers it and comes back the next day? Our supplies are also very scarce!"

"Huh? Is Ye Wanyin so desperate for food that she has to fight with a cat for it? Knowing that resources are scarce, why don't you do more tasks? Have you earned a single point in the past few days? Even if resources are scarce, it's none of your business to say so!" Ye Sanqing got annoyed and left after saying that.

"How can you say that to me, sister? I worked hard too..." Ye Wanyin looked at Sheng Hanyu.

She refused to believe it. If once didn't work, if twice didn't work, if three or more times didn't work, wouldn't it?

“But you got zero points,” Sheng Hanyu said, and then left.

It's a fine evening, and he'd rather go back and make tea and daydream than stay here talking to Ye Wanyin!

Ye Wanyin's countless attempts failed!
