The Age of Rebirth: Winning since the educated youth went to the countryside

Chapter 157 The little cotton-padded jacket leaks air

After happily eating the dumplings, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters went to work.

After the usual morning meeting, Zhou Ziwen came to the mushroom room. After walking around the mushroom room and checking the growth progress of the mushrooms, he found an opportunity to slip away.

He wasn't going to go up the mountain today. The roe deer he shot yesterday was enough to last for a while. For the time being, he had no shortage of meat.

The firewood at home is enough to survive the winter. There will be no need for firewood in a short period of time, and there is enough food to eat without going up the mountain.

In this way, Zhou Ziwen was free.

After thinking about it, he decided to build the stone table first. With his skills, it wouldn't take long to build a stone table.

Building a stone table is something he has always wanted to do, but he has never had free time and his skill level is not enough, so he has delayed it.

Just do whatever comes to mind. Zhou Ziwen is a man of action. After returning home, he took the masonry tools and set out from home.

This time he went to the dam at the foot of Niutou Mountain. Although it was a little far away, it was quieter and no one usually passed by.

He also didn't want his fishing to become known to everyone.

Sometimes, making a fortune in silence is the right thing to do.

He didn't ride a bike this time. When he was done with his work later, he planned to bring a few stone piers back. Anyway, they were not heavy. He would bring them a little at a time. When the things were almost built, he would almost move them.

After getting the stone table back home, he would slowly polish it.

After arriving at the dam, Zhou Ziwen immediately became busy.

This time, building a stone table is simpler than a stone jar. After all, the stone jar has to be hollowed out, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

But Stone Table just needs to be careful when picking up materials, and it won't take long at all.

In one morning, Zhou Ziwen had already completed two tabletops, and also built several stone piers.

Of course, it's all just rough machining, and you have to polish it yourself after you go back.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhou Ziwen packed up his tools and rushed home carrying two stone pillars.

By the time he got home, it was just time to get off work.

After a short rest, the Chen sisters came back.

Zhou Ziwen greeted them and went back to his yard to check on the camellia seeds.

After more than a day of drying, the shells of the Camellia oleifera seeds are all dried, and the shells can be broken by rubbing them with your hands.

"It seems that we can get the Camellia oleifera oil today." Zhou Ziwen clapped his hands with satisfaction, then turned to call the Chen family girl.

"Yiyi, the camellia seeds are dried, come and help me get them together!" Zhou Ziwen came to the kitchen of the Chen sisters and waved to the Chen sisters.

"Coming." Chen Qiaoyi sweetly agreed and ran to Zhou Ziwen happily.

"Sister, let's go first." Zhou Ziwen waved to Chen Shiying who was busy cooking.

"Go!" Chen Shiying didn't even raise her head, too lazy to talk to the two of them.

"Hehe!" Chen Qiaoyi made a face at her.

Zhou Ziwen took Chen Qiaoyi back to his courtyard, moved the chopping board out of the kitchen, and began to break the shells of camellia seeds.

The process of breaking the shell is also very simple. Just put the camellia seeds on the chopping board and roll them out with a rolling pin.

Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi divided their labors and cooperated. One was responsible for rolling and the other was responsible for picking up.

Although the work is simple, it is somewhat time-consuming. After Chen Shiying had finished cooking the rice, they had only finished half of it.

"Brother Ziwen, let's continue cooking after dinner!" Chen Qiaoyi hugged his arm and said with a smile.

Until now, she had never been able to help Brother Ziwen. Now that she finally came across an opportunity, she certainly didn't want to miss it.

She's not that kind of lazy girl, but there's just not much she can do to help him.

She usually does laundry, sweeps and tidies the house, but she is good at everything!

"Okay, let's do it after dinner." Zhou Ziwen agreed, thinking that the sisters were not tired from working in the mushroom house.

Zhou Ziwen discovered that the Chen sisters had not taken a lunch break since they started working in the mushroom house.

From this point of view, Zhou Ziwen still feels a sense of accomplishment.

Before I was transferred to the mushroom group, I had to take a lunch break at noon because I was quite tired from work, otherwise I would not have enough energy to work in the afternoon.

What we had for lunch today was fried roe deer meat. Chen Shiying specially cut the thinnest piece of the roe deer for frying.

Speaking of which, roe deer meat has a very unique texture, with a special meaty and salty flavor.

The taste of roe deer meat is very good. As long as the smell of mutton is taken care of, it is even more delicious than pork.

Although it was his first time to eat roe deer meat, Zhou Ziwen fell in love with the taste after eating it only once.

"Sister, I'm going to the county town tomorrow to send some roe deer meat to my family and my uncles and aunts. Do you have anything to bring? I'll send it back together tomorrow." While eating, Zhou Ziwen asked.

"Ziwen, you and Qiaoqiao are getting married soon. Just send some of this roe deer meat dumpling to your family. Don't send it to my parents. Save it for you two to eat when you get married." Chen Shiying put it down. Chopsticks looked at Zhou Ziwen and said seriously.

Last time I sent honey and Polygonum multiflorum, Zhou Ziwen said it was her intention and she didn't refuse. This time she couldn't agree to it no matter what.

"Yes, brother Ziwen, please stop sending things to my family. We don't have enough to eat ourselves!" Chen Qiaoyi also advised.

It is said that married daughters throw away water. Girls are outgoing and their elbows are turned outward.

The little girl from the Chen family hasn't gotten married yet, and her elbows have gone somewhere.

"Then I really won't send it?" Zhou Ziwen asked tentatively.

"Well, I won't send it." Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, uncle and aunt won't send it." Zhou Ziwen gave up his original idea.

It was his spur-of-the-moment idea to send roe deer meat to the parents of the Chen sisters.

If you think about it carefully, this seems a bit presumptuous.

After all, he and Chen Qiaoyi are not married yet. Strictly speaking, he has nothing to do with Chen Qiaoyi's parents.

There is nothing wrong with sending something once as a face-to-face gift. If you send something one after another, people who know it will think he is kind-hearted, but those who don’t know it will think he is showing off his wealth!

The Chen sisters' family members are all intellectuals, one is a teacher and the other is a newspaper editor.

It would be self-defeating if they didn't like rich people.

"Well, I won't send it anymore. I just sent something back a few days ago, so I won't send it this time." Chen Qiaoyi nodded repeatedly, as if she was really afraid that Zhou Ziwen would send them something again.

Since he wouldn't send anything to Chen Qiaoyi's family, Zhou Ziwen decided to send two roe deer hind legs to his own family. The front legs had little meat and the hind legs had more meat.

His original plan was to send one front leg, one hind leg, and a piece of meat to his family, but this time he simply sent a little more to his family.

After lunch, the Chen sisters came to Zhou Ziwen's house to help him process camellia seeds.

There is strength in numbers, and by the time it was time to start work, they had already finished half of it.
