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

Zhou Ziwen took a section of stone as the base, but it needed some polishing before use.

He went back to the house to find mason's tools and cut out the end face of the stone.

This side is the platform for oil extraction, and he is going to make a groove to prevent it from leaking out when the oil is pressed.

"Brother Zhou, you are such a skilled mason. I think you can become a master."

Zhou Chaoyang watched the excitement from the side and felt that Zhou Ziwen was skilled in craftsmanship and the texture of the stone surface he struck was neat and pleasing to the eye.

"I am only the second in command, so how can I be considered a master?" Zhou Ziwen continued to hammer without raising his head.

Although his craftsmanship is good, it is not very good and cannot compare with an old craftsman like Master Chen.

But this skill is enough for working. With this, I can make a living in the village.

One of the two was busy working, the other was watching with great interest. They chatted for a moment or two from time to time, which gave it a sense of being busy as a farmer.

Soon, Zhou Ziwen finished handling the base. Just as he was about to handle the remaining big stone, Chen Qiaoyi ran over and called him to come over for dinner.

"Let's go, let's eat." Zhou Ziwen put down the tools in his hands.

"Then I'll go back too. I guess the food at home will be ready soon." Zhou Chaoyang also walked out together.

"You're so embarrassed to be the boss, so you have the nerve to eat free rice?" Chen Qiaoyi rolled her eyes and defended her sisters.

"It's not my fault. I want to help, but Zhaodi won't do it!" Zhou Chaoyang spread his hands helplessly.

It's simple to say that Shen Zhaodi is stronger and doesn't want to take advantage of him.

After all, it was recognized that Zhou Chaoyang was rich, and this boy was willing to spend money. He would exchange some good things for him in the village.

Shen Zhaodi felt that Zhou Chaoyang was at a disadvantage, so for the sake of fairness, she put in more effort.

Shen Zhaodi usually does all the cooking and washing dishes by herself, and Zhou Chaoyang won't let him help even if he wants.

"You are blessed." Zhou Ziwen was a little envious, envious that he had money.

Although he is also rich, he is not as rich as Zhou Chaoyang.

Fortunately, it's just envy. Although having money can make him have enough food and clothing, when it comes to quality of life, Zhou Chaoyang cannot compare to him.

But I am indeed blessed to live so well in the countryside.

When we arrived at the Chen sisters' house, the food had been laid out, waiting for Zhou Ziwen to come and eat.

"So I'm more blessed than him?" Zhou Ziwen smiled, secretly proud.

Zhou Chaoyang had two people to help him cook and wash dishes.

Not only does he cook and wash dishes, but he also helps him with laundry and cleaning the house. His life is much more relaxed than Zhou Chaoyang's.

"Brother Ziwen, what are you laughing at?" Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously, looking at Zhou Ziwen's cheerful expression.

"Haha, I just thought of something happy." Zhou Ziwen shook his head and changed the subject, "I will squeeze the oil later, Yiyi, come and help me!"

"Okay, I also want to see how this oil is squeezed out." Chen Qiaoyi nodded happily, and Chen Shiying on the side was also very interested.

She had always heard Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang say that Camellia oleifera oil was a good thing, but she really didn't know how good it was.

She wanted to see if the camellia oil was as magical as they said.

"You'll find out later." Zhou Ziwen grabbed a two-faced steamed bun and said with a smile.

"Ah."

The three of them concentrated on eating, and then went about their business after the meal.

Zhou Ziwen returned to his yard and continued polishing the oil-pressing stones, while the Chen sisters cleaned up the dishes at home.

By the time they finished cleaning up and came over, Zhou Ziwen had almost polished it.

"You are here just in time. Yiyi and I will clean the stones together. Sister, help me boil some water and steam the camellia seeds."

Seeing the two sisters coming over, Zhou Ziwen was not polite and started directing them to work.

"it is good."

"Ah."

The two sisters nodded in agreement, and after understanding what to do, they began to get busy.

Steaming camellia seeds is not complicated. Zhou Ziwen just said it and Chen Shiying knew what to do.

In the yard, one of Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi was responsible for pouring water, and the other was responsible for washing. They divided the labor and worked together.

After a while, the stone platform for oil extraction was cleaned. Then Chen Qiaoyi brought a clean towel and wiped away the water stains on the stone platform.

The sun is shining brightly now, and it will be dried in a short time.

Zhou Ziwen found straw and filter cloth, placed them in a basin, and waited for the camellia seeds to come out of the pot.

After a while, Chen Shiying had almost steamed the camellia seeds.

The heat in the steamer comes out, and a scent of oil wafts out.

"These camellia seeds smell so good!" Chen Qiaoyi sniffed.

"The oil squeezed out will be more fragrant later." Zhou Ziwen said, then turned to Chen Shiying and said: "Sister, turn off the heat, it's almost steamed."

"Okay." Chen Shiying took a pair of pliers and poked at the mouth of the stove twice. She found that there was no firewood, so she was not ready to take care of it.

Zhou Ziwen took out the camellia seeds from the steamer, poured them into the prepared filter cloth, and hurriedly wrapped them while they were still hot. He quickly wrapped the camellia seeds into a cake.

After wrapping it up, Zhou Ziwen didn't stop, turned around, carried it to the yard, and placed it on the stone platform.

"Yiyi, come hold the basin. I'm going to start pressing the oil." Zhou Ziwen handed the basin to Chen Qiaoyi.

"Okay." Chen Qiaoyi took the basin and faced the stone trough on the stone platform, preparing to catch the oil.

Zhou Ziwen came to the big stone he brought back, used his hands hard and concentrated all his strength to lift the stone from the ground.

In a few steps, Zhou Ziwen came to the stone platform and gently put it down.

The camellia seeds wrapped in filter cloth and straw on the stone platform were squeezed and deformed, and the oil slowly seeped out of the filter cloth.

The seeping oil followed the small groove carved by Zhou Ziwen, and finally gathered together and flowed into Chen Qiaoyi's basin.

"Brother Ziwen, it's flowing out, it's flowing out!" Chen Qiaoyi shouted happily, but the basin in his hand remained motionless for fear of not being able to catch it.

"Just put it on the ground, you don't have to hold it all the time." Zhou Ziwen said funny.

This girl really doesn't know how to be lazy!

"Oh!"

Chen Qiaoyi quickly reacted and put the basin on the ground. But she did not leave. Instead, she approached the stone platform and watched it with great interest.

This is when the Camellia oleifera oil flows the fastest. The streams are squeezed out under the weight of the stone. The clear and bright color looks very expensive.

"Be careful, it will be bad if the stone falls." Zhou Ziwen warned while holding his hand on the stone.

"Then I won't watch." Chen Qiaoyi stood up, but before leaving, she stretched out her fingers, dipped a little camellia oil in her mouth, and tasted it.

"good to eat."

Chen Qiaoyi's eyes lit up. This Camellia oleifera oil has a special refreshing fragrance. When you eat it, it is mellow and rich, filling your mouth with a sweet fragrance.

"Be careful with diarrhea!" Zhou Ziwen warned her immediately after seeing the girl's childish side.

Camellia oleifera oil is oil after all, and eating too much can cause diarrhea.

"I'm just going to have a taste." Chen Qiaoyi also knew this, so she just dipped a little bit into it to get a taste.
