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

"Don't you think you are very powerful? You can even hit melon-stealing badgers." Wu Dagang said with a smile.

"No matter how powerful he is, he's just lucky." Zhou Ziwen waved his hands with a smile, but there was a bit of complacency on his face.

In front of familiar people, Zhou Ziwen didn't seem so modest. After all, being able to hit a hedgehog was a happy thing.

Too much humility is hypocrisy.

"What are you doing here?" Wu Dagang asked.

He knew that this boy would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, and would not go to his house when nothing happened.

"Didn't I hear that Uncle Wu has sour papayas at home? Let me borrow two." Zhou Ziwen said, licking his face.

He said he was borrowing it, but he actually had no intention of returning it at all. However, after the hedgehog meat was ready, he was going to bring a bowl over and let Uncle Wu have a taste.

"What are you doing with those things? There are quite a few of them piled up in my house!" Wu Dagang frowned when he heard the sour papaya.

He is the most intolerant of sour foods, and no one would eat the sour papayas at home.

"Then I'll take two away." Zhou Ziwen was not polite.

"Take two more. No one in the family will eat this stuff." Wu Dagang said nonchalantly.

"Okay, then I'll get two more."

Zhou Ziwen happily entered the house with Chen Qiaoyi, found Aunt Chen, and soon brought out a bag of sour papaya.

This old couple really doesn't like eating sour food, probably because they are afraid of losing their teeth.

After chatting with Mrs. Chen and Wu Dagang for a few words, Zhou Ziwen left with a bag of sour papayas and Chen Qiaoyi.

Back home, Zhou Ziwen began to display his skills.

The sour hedgehog meat needs to be marinated in advance. Zhou Ziwen took out the hedgehog meat, cut it into slices, and marinated it with a mixture of sour orange leaves, sour papaya, nepeta, onion, ginger, pepper, salt and other seasonings.

Although this thing tastes good, if you want to suppress the smell of it, you need a lot of seasonings to neutralize it.

In other words, Zhou Ziwen's cooking skills are pretty good and he knows how to handle it. If it were anyone else, the food probably wouldn't be delicious.

After the hedgehog meat is marinated, the slices of meat are tied with lemongrass and then slowly roasted over a chestnut charcoal fire. When cooked, the aroma is overflowing, making you salivate when you smell it.

While Zhou Ziwen was waiting for the hedgehog meat to be marinated, there was a sudden knock on the door next door.

"Zhou Zhiqing, is Zhou Zhiqing at home?"

"Here, wait." Zhou Ziwen responded, got up and came outside the yard.

Looking up, Zhou Ziwen recognized the person. This person was Wang Dayou's neighbor Zou Xuemin.

"Brother Zou, what do you want from me?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.

"I heard that you shot a hedgehog?" Zou Xuemin rubbed his hands.

He is not very old, only about twenty years old, but he got married early and seems to have two children.

"Well, yes, Brother Zou, what are you doing?" Zhou Ziwen nodded.

This matter has spread throughout the village, and no one believes it even if they say they haven’t been hit!

"That's good. Your sister-in-law has just given birth to a baby. I heard that hedgehog gallbladder is very good for people who have given birth. Can you give me the hedgehog gallbladder in exchange?" Perhaps because he has never asked anyone, when Zou Xuemin spoke Still a little embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law has given birth again? Congratulations." Zhou Ziwen was a little surprised. If he remembered correctly, this should be the third child!

"Hedgehogs are brave, so I kept it specially for you. I'm going to get it for you." After saying this, Zhou Ziwen left the door of the Chen sisters' house and walked into his own house.

As for what Zou Xuemin said about changing, he didn't even mention it.

This thing has no effect on him, but he is also very happy if it can help others.

Maybe this is what it feels like to do good!

"Brother Zou, this is the hedgehog's guts. It's still fresh. You can give it to your sister-in-law!" After a while, Zhou Ziwen came out carrying the hedgehog's guts in a small plastic bag.

He had already processed the hedgehog gallbladder just now and soaked it in wine. He would just take it out now.

"Brother Zhou, thank you."

"You take this money..."

Zou Xuemin held Zhou Ziwen's hand with a grateful look on his face.

"Brother Zou, take the money back and use it to buy milk powder for your child." Zhou Ziwen's face darkened and he hurriedly stuffed the money and hedgehog gallbladder into Zou Xuemin's arms.

Zou Xuemin still wanted to struggle, but he couldn't get over him. Zhou Ziwen was holding him down with all his strength, and he couldn't move at all.

"Brother Zhou, you..."

"Okay, that's it. This is a gift from me to my nephew, not for you." Zhou Ziwen grabbed his hand, looking like he couldn't refuse.

"Then this...me."

"It's okay, it's just a hedgehog's courage. If you don't come and ask for it, I will drink it in one gulp. You are a big man, what are you doing to mother-in-law and mother-in-law?" Zhou Ziwen said with a serious face.

"Thank you very much, Brother Zhou." After being so provoked by Zhou Ziwen, Zou Xuemin finally stopped refusing.

In fact, hedgehog gallbladder may be valuable to those who need it, but to those who don't need it, it would be too troublesome to soak it in wine.

Zhou Ziwen knew the function of this stuff, so he collected it.

After a few words of greeting, Zou Xuemin kept thanking him. Perhaps he saw that Zhou Ziwen was a little impatient. Zou Xuemin thanked him again and left.

"Brother Ziwen, it turns out that hedgehog gallbladder has this effect?"

After the others left, Chen Qiaoyi ran out of the house.

"Yeah, how else would a hedgehog be called a medicinal beast? It has many functions!" Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

Back in the house, Zhou Ziwen started to set up the grill, not taking what happened just now to heart.

He's just a hedgehog, and he really doesn't take him seriously.

After Zhou Ziwen's preparation, the smell of hedgehog meat has almost gone away.

Then it is tied with lemongrass and grilled on the barbecue for a while, and the natural fragrance of the hedgehog meat begins to waft out.

While Zhou Ziwen was grilling, he was thinking about when he would go to the county to build a special grill.

The current barbecue rack is made of bamboo, which is very simple. Moreover, the bamboo used for barbecue must be replaced every time it is grilled, which is not convenient at all.

If you have a special barbecue rack, whether it is grilling fish or barbecue, it will be very convenient in the future.

You don’t need to make the shelf very well, you just need a few iron bars and welding a mesh shelf, and the main part can be made entirely of mud.

"Brother Zhou, what delicious food are you making?"

When the hedgehog meat was about to be roasted, Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi came back together.

"Where did you go to play? Did you see anyone every day?" Zhou Ziwen asked.

"Hey, we went to the county town to play." Zhou Chaoyang said with a smile.

Before going out to play, they asked the Chen sisters about the mushroom house. They had a great time that day.

"You guys really know how to play." Zhou Ziwen glanced at the two of them meaningfully.

As the day went by, he found that something seemed not quite right between the two of them.

But this is a matter for a young person, so he won't get involved blindly. Anyway, if there are signs, the tail will show up after a while, and you can't hide it.
