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

Because of similar personalities, Zhou Ziwen, the Chen sisters, Shen Zhaodi, and Zhou Chaoyang stayed in the kitchen together, chatting and working at the same time.

It takes a while to stir-fry the base ingredients, mainly because the hot pot base ingredients need to be simmered for a while to become fragrant.

Having someone to talk to makes working less boring, and before you know it, the hot pot base is ready.

It was not yet dinner time, and Zhou Ziwen wanted to find something to do, so he went back next door to continue building the stone basin.

This is the case here in Heijiang. When you are busy, you are really busy. When you are free, you will feel bored again.

Especially on this snowy day, when you can’t go anywhere, you can only keep your cat at home. This is what the villagers call cat winter.

Zhou Ziwen was still very fast, and by the time it was almost time to eat, he had already made the stone basin.

In order not to favor one against another, Zhou Ziwen specially built two, one for each of the two sisters.

It's interesting to say that the two sisters don't know what they think. No matter how they dress, they all like to look the same. If they weren't very familiar with each other, they wouldn't be able to tell who the two sisters are.

Regarding this question, Zhou Ziwen once asked curiously, and Chen Qiaoyi told him that this was a habit developed since childhood.

In order not to favor one thing over another, Chen’s father and Chen’s mother would always prepare double portions, whether it was food or food.

The reason why they are exactly the same is, firstly, for convenience, and secondly, to avoid conflicts.

If the things they buy are different and one likes this and the other likes that, isn’t this deliberately causing conflict between the two sisters?

But you won’t have this problem if you buy exactly the same things. After all, everyone has the same things, and no one will envy anyone else.

Zhou Ziwen thought that the father-in-law and mother-in-law's method was a good one, so he might as well borrow it. If he needed to prepare something for his wife in the future, he might as well prepare an extra one.

"It's finally done, Yiyi, I'll give it a try later. It's probably a bit cold tonight, so let's get a brazier." Zhou Ziwen stood up and stretched hard.

"Yes." Chen Qiaoyi nodded obediently. Looking at the stone basin that was a little rough but had very consistent textures, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart.

This is his man, who can live a life full of life even in a rough countryside.

"It's so light, I thought it was very heavy!"

Chen Qiaoyi tried to lift the handle of the stone basin, but unexpectedly found that it was very light.

"Light is right. I made it very thin on purpose." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

He also considered the strength of the Chen sisters and deliberately made it thin.

In order to do this, he wasted a long time.

But women are meant to be pampered and make it easier for his wife, and he is happy to do so.

"Brother Ziwen, the hot pot is almost ready. It's time to start cooking." At this time, Zhou Chaoyang came out of the kitchen next door.

"I guess it's almost done, I can already smell it." Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.

"I really envy Brother Zhou. You are so versatile. You can do everything yourself without spending any money." Looking at the stone basin in Chen Qiaoyi's hand, Zhou Chaoyang felt a little envious.

"This is relatively simple. If you need it, you can do it yourself. The tools are all ready anyway." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

Stonemasonry technology is difficult to say and easy to say, especially for such a simple object. Even an amateur can do it as long as you don't care about the appearance.

As for whether the finished product can be seen by others and whether it will hurt your hands while making it, that is another matter.

"Forget it, I'm not that material." Zhou Chaoyang shrugged.

Building a stone basin seemed simple, but he knew that there were many ways to do it.

Apart from anything else, just using a hammer and a chisel is not that simple.

If you don't pay attention, the hammer will hit your hand.

This kind of thing is not impossible to happen, even those masons who have already started their careers are occasionally injured.

A novice like him would be more likely to make mistakes.

For his own physical and mental health, he thought it would be good to use an earthen basin.

"Let's go and eat."

Zhou Ziwen took his wife and came to the next door with Zhou Chaoyang.

Because there is no stove at home, hot pot can only be eaten in the kitchen, with several people eating around the pot.

But in order to enjoy the hot hotpot, it doesn’t matter if you stand.

It happened that there was an electric light installed at home. Although the wattage of the light bulb was a bit low, I could still see clearly.

Zhou Chaoyang was not allowed to drink this time, and all his good wine was drunk by Zhou Ziwen.

"Try the medicinal wine I brewed. It's good for your health." Zhou Ziwen picked up the jug and filled a cup for Zhou Chaoyang.

Through the spout, you can also see the medicinal materials inside the wine pot.

Zhou Ziwen has not gone up the mountain in vain so many times.

Every now and then you can come across some herbs.

Whatever is valuable among them, he will collect.

Just as he was getting started with medical skills, he brewed a pot of medicinal wine.

“It tastes good!”

Hearing that it was medicinal wine, Zhou Chaoyang took a sip and found that the taste was surprisingly good.

"Haha, it tastes good. If it tastes good, drink more." Zhou Ziwen lit up the wine glass and clinked it with Zhou Chaoyang.

His medicinal wine is different from other medicinal wines. When mixing the medicinal herbs, he specially made adjustments to the taste.

After his adjustment, although it was called medicinal wine, it actually had no medicinal taste.

He only removed the medicinal smell, but retained the effect of the medicinal materials.

Of course, his medical skills cannot reach this level, but don't forget, his cooking skills are very good.

The skill that is improved through the idle panel does not mean that he knows what it is and why. As the skill improves, he will also gain corresponding knowledge and insights, and these insights are even more solid than through self-study.

Level 5 cooking skills allow him to grasp the taste very accurately.

It is not difficult for him to remove the taste and retain the medicinal properties.

After all, there are medicinal foods in cooking.

Some medicinal foods are not only nutritious, but also taste particularly good.

"Is it really delicious? Brother Ziwen, I want to drink some too." Chen Qiaoyi was a little greedy after hearing Zhou Chaoyang's comment.

"Haha, now that we are together, let's drink more."

Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

"I'll get the bowl." With Zhou Ziwen's agreement, Chen Qiaoyi immediately stood up and prepared the wine bowl.

After Chen Qiaoyi brought the bowl over, Zhou Ziwen poured half a cup for each of the three women.

"Brother Zhou, pour a little more. I want to drink a few more drinks today." Shen Zhaodi put on the look of a heroic girl.

"Haha, I didn't realize that there is actually a drinking buddy among us." Zhou Ziwen joked and poured a bowl of wine for Shen Zhaodi.

He is not averse to girls drinking, and is even happy to do so.

After all, having a girl to drink with makes the wine taste more delicious.

Of course, if his wife is drinking, he needs to be watching her.

Just like just now, Chen Qiaoyi asked for his opinion before drinking.

This is not machismo, but mutual respect.
