Chapter 162 The Sheep Fell to Death

Chapter 162 The Sheep Fell to Death

"Boom!"

The bass drum was struck violently.

Ye Qiongying stood in the middle of her teammates, and everyone was looking to the other side, listening attentively to the drum beats.

What they learned today was various signal transmissions.

On the battlefield, if you just rely on shouting, it is unlikely that many people will hear you. Moreover, they may misunderstand what you mean because the surrounding environment is too noisy.

Therefore, drum sounds or trumpet sounds are usually used to convey some simple information.

Different quantities and rhythms have different meanings.

They also need to remember these things firmly, as they may be able to save their lives someday.

Compared to other training tasks, this one is not difficult, at least it does not require much effort. As long as you have a normal brain and are willing to spend time to remember it, it will be fine.

But for some people, remembering this is worse than running around the training ground!

After listening to different drum sounds, my ears are buzzing and everything sounds the same.

As soon as the new day's training ended, everyone ran towards the cafeteria.

Ye Qiongying has now become accustomed to this kind of life. She rushed to the cafeteria with her teammates and lined up.

We didn't come very early today, so there were no empty large tables.

But it’s okay, everyone is holding a big bowl with the food in it, so it’s not inconvenient to hold it.

As soon as they approached the place where food was served, they smelled a fragrance.

Yao Manfu couldn't help but twitch his nose a few times:

"Oh, this smell! It smells different from before! It smells good! It smells really good!"

Ye Qiongying couldn't help swallowing as well. The fragrance in the air made her stomach growl. She also raised her head and looked forward.

This smell, smells a bit like mutton?

Soon, it was their turn.

Sure enough, today's meal is mutton soup.

I heard from the auntie in the canteen that something happened at a nearby shepherd's house and all the sheep in his family died. However, the sheep died from falling, and they were not sick or had eaten anything poisonous, so it did not affect their consumption.

It just so happened that the weather was getting cooler and the capital had recently allocated a sum of money to the guards of Pingwu City. General Pang and his men decided to buy all the sheep that had died in the fall and improve everyone's food.

The cooking skills of the chefs in the canteen are still very good.

In addition, the sheep are well raised and the meat is very tender.

The mutton soup cooked in this way does not smell fishy at all. The milky white soup looks beautiful and smells even more appetizing.

There are three options: mutton soup steamed bun, mutton soup rice and mutton soup noodles, so you can choose whatever you like.

A dozen people quickly prepared their meal and went outside holding their big bowls.

It doesn’t matter if there is no table. You can just find an empty spot and squat there, and finish a long dinner in no time.

Ye Qiongying was born into a wealthy family and never lacked food.

No matter whether she was in the Ye family or married into the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, or even in the small courtyard in Pingwu City now, they hired special cooks, so the taste of the food certainly wouldn't be bad.

But she had to admit that the most delicious food was still eaten in the canteen of the military camp.

Maybe it’s because I was extremely tired after training and my stomach was empty, so everything tasted sweet.

Or maybe with so many people eating together, one naturally feels an increase in appetite.

The same goes for today's mutton soup rice.

It's not like she had never eaten mutton before, but today's bowl of hot mutton soup made her feel that it was the most delicious hot soup she had ever tasted.

The tender lamb is cooked to the perfect degree and is very easy to bite without being difficult to chew.

Even the white radish cooked with the mutton is tender, sweet and especially delicious.

The rice soaked in the soup has already been soaked with the oily and rich flavor of the mutton. One big bite and you can smell the lingering fragrance in your mouth.

After eating the dry food, take a sip of the mutton soup with white smoke coming out of the big bowl. The soup is simmered over a low fire until it turns white. It has no smell of mutton, but instead has a hint of milk flavor.

After taking a sip, my whole body became warm and even my face turned a little red.

"This life... is so comfortable!" Yao Manfu wolfed down a large bowl of mutton noodle soup, squinting his eyes and said happily, "It's a good thing that I followed Big Brother Yao here. Otherwise, I would have to stay in the village and wait for death."

Yao Dachuan also smiled:

"Yes, the road is made by people. If a tree is moved, it will die, and people will live if they move. If we don't find a way out, how can we survive in the situation back then? But now it's better. We have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, and we can eat meat every day. This is a fairy-like life that we couldn't even imagine before."

Even the usually quiet Yao Fengshou nodded in agreement, holding the empty bowl for a long time, unwilling to put it down, even though his stomach was full:

"Yes, there is no way to get such good food in the village. Besides, my family members are all well now, and they even asked someone to bring us new clothes... It's great, it's great."

Yao Manfu chuckled:

"With this sip of hot soup, even the hard training is nothing."

Ye Qiongying did not have as many insights as them, but she did enjoy the tranquility and happiness of the moment.

Even if it's just an ordinary bowl of mutton soup.

After finishing the meal, everyone returned to their tents. Ye Qiongying rested enough and returned to the martial arts arena.

The others didn't need to come again after the weapons drill, but Ye Qiongying still kept the habit of practicing extra at night.

Women do not naturally have an advantage over men in terms of physical fitness. If they want to achieve the same or even better results as them, they have to spend more energy and time.

This is a truth that Ye Qiongying had figured out a long time ago, so she never felt wronged or regretful about it. Instead, she was full of fighting spirit every day, and every bit of progress made her feel excited and happy.

After completing the exercise task she had set for herself, Ye Qiongying washed up and lay down on the bed.

Mingming had already closed his eyes and was ready to rest.

However, perhaps because her brain had completely relaxed at this moment, she finally had the energy to recall what had happened that day.

There is nothing much to say about daily training. It’s just a matter of recalling the meanings of the drum sounds.

but……

sheep.

The mutton soup she had eaten in the cafeteria appeared in her mind.

However, this time what caught her attention was not the deliciousness of the mutton soup, but the raw materials.

All the sheep fell to death?

If she had heard this news a few years ago, Ye Qiongying would have felt sorry for the shepherd. How could all the sheep he raised fall to death? This was too unlucky.

But now, she couldn't help but think more about it.

Right in Pingwu City, during this sensitive period when the weather is turning cooler?

It couldn't be that this was the first time the shepherd was raising sheep, otherwise how could he have invested so much money and raised so many sheep the first time.

Therefore, they must be familiar with where to put the sheep and how to avoid dangerous places.

How could it be such a coincidence that all the sheep fell to their deaths?
