Shi Wen that there was mutton soup here, but perhaps the soldiers and volunteers who came from other places to help with the disaster relief weren't used to the taste of mutton soup, so not many people came to get it.

It was only after the person in charge called everyone over for a bowl of soup to warm themselves up, and emphasized that the soup wasn't gamey, that people gradually came over.

Two volunteers came over and Shi Wen scoop soup.

Their soup bowls are all disposable, so drinking soup doesn't interfere with eating self-heating rice.

When it came time to make the soup, many people emphasized that they only wanted the broth and not the meat, because they were too full to eat any more.

Shi Wen didn't try to dissuade him, only saying that he could eat meat after finishing the soup.

They served the soup very quickly, and the people next to them picked up their bowls and drank slowly.

Only then did everyone realize with surprise:

"This soup is quite delicious."

"Ah, this soup is so fresh and rich, it feels so good to drink it."

"I want another bowl, and I'll eat it with the meat."

"After drinking this bowl of soup, I finally feel alive again."

"It's also good to mix the soup with rice; you guys should try it. With the soup in it, I can finally eat more."

Everyone quickly realized that Shi Wen's mutton soup was indeed delicious.

His family's mutton soup is fragrant and delicious, with no unpleasant smell at all, and it won't affect your meal.

Many people exclaimed that they had learned something new; they never knew mutton soup could be cooked like this, no wonder it's a region that specializes in producing sheep.

Shi Wen that everyone had become noticeably more lively and no longer looked as exhausted as before, Shi Wen couldn't help but smile as well.

The two large pots of soup were quickly finished, and some people drank two bowls but still wanted more.

Shi Wen they'd have more in the afternoon, so everyone can come back for drinks then.

Shi Wen eating, Shi Wen specifically looked down at the dam.

Yan Kexing was tall and stood out in the crowd. Like a precision instrument, he stood steadily in the most turbulent part of the water, constantly taking sandbags to plug the gaps.

After watching for a while, Shi Wen handed over the cleanup work to other volunteers and went to get a set of clothes to join Yan Kexing in the disaster relief efforts.

When Yan Kexing saw him arrive, he didn't say anything, but just smiled at him.

Shi Wen was at least 1.8 meters tall, which was considered tall in a crowd.

He was a little thin, but very muscular.

The two stood together, and their tiny, pointed figure instantly stood out in the crowd.

However, in the crowd, they were just insignificant members.

The disaster was indeed quite severe. Shi Wen and Yan Kexing here for two days, doing heavy physical labor.

At night, they slept in tents, where the air was filled with cool, damp moisture, and the ground beneath them was wet and muddy.

The two were so exhausted that they huddled together to sleep, their bodies warm against each other through their half-dry clothes.

Outside, Shi Wen it wasn't appropriate to hold Yan Kexing, so she took one of his hands, placed it against her chest, and fell into a deep sleep.

Once the disaster situation here subsided, Yan Kexing and Shi Wen, who had run out of mutton, hitched a ride back home.

Fu Meng had been helping them look after their ranch, and when he saw them return, he hurried back to attend to his own ranch affairs.

The floods were quite severe; Shi Wen they even saw them reported on national media several times. Fortunately, it eventually passed.

Shi Wen the reports of casualties and the extent of the disaster, Shi Wen quietly made another donation.

What you see in the news is different from what you experience firsthand. Compared to most people in the world, they also have a hard life, but it's still relatively easy for them.

This day, in J Province City, J City Province.

In a private room at the far end of a famous restaurant, a tall, burly man stood up. "This was truly an extraordinary achievement. Let's all raise a glass to our heroes!"

Pu Yiping quickly waved his hand. "We just did what we were supposed to do."

The tall, burly man said, "What do you mean by 'duty'? It's clearly a matter of righteous indignation. Thank you for coming all this way to help with the disaster relief. If it weren't for people like you, the disaster here wouldn't have been so easily resolved."

Everyone agreed.

Pu Yiping raised his glass and drank the wine with everyone.

Before he could even put down his wine glass, the tall, burly man placed a piece of mutton on his plate. "Try this mutton. We specially bought Dolan Sheep from outside and had the chef here cook it for us. It's incredibly delicious."

Pu Yiping quickly took a bite. The mutton was indeed delicious. It was a very common stir-fried mutton with scallions, but it was cooked to be tender, juicy, and full of meaty flavor.

Everyone praised it:

"This lamb is amazing! Even the simple home-style cooking makes it so delicious."

"Old Guo, the Dolan Sheep you bought this time is really good. I've bought Dolan Sheep a few times before, but it's never been this good. Could you give me the seller's contact information later? I want to buy some too."

"I want some too, I'll take some back for my wife to try. Old Pu, I'll get you some to take back later."

As they talked, they began to discuss the various delicious lamb dishes they had eaten.

The conversation drifted to Pu Yiping, and someone asked, "What do you think of this mutton? Pretty good, right?"

Pu Yiping casually remarked, "It really is delicious, but speaking of mutton, the best mutton I've ever had is the mutton soup we had during our disaster relief efforts. That was truly tender and flavorful."

Which disaster relief effort?

"It was this time," Pu Yiping said, wiping his mouth. "It's been especially cold standing in the water these past few days, so the volunteers prepared mutton soup for us to warm up. That mutton soup was so fresh and rich, the meat was so tender it practically fell off the bone, it tasted absolutely delicious."

"No way! Old Pu, is that just a filter? When you're cold and hungry, everything tastes good."

"Yeah, the lamb provided by those volunteers over there can taste even better than the hundreds of thousands of Dolan Sheep we have here?"

"Aren't these fat-tailed sheep? I feel like the meat quality of fat-tailed sheep is just average."

Pu Yiping waved his hand. "No, it's not like that at all. Their lamb is just tender, fragrant, and very nourishing. I've participated in so many rescues. If it were this kind of work where you're submerged in water, I would definitely come back with pale skin and cold bones. That day I drank several bowls of lamb soup, and I slept soundly and deeply that night. When I woke up the next day, I not only didn't feel tired, but I was also full of energy."
