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

At Zhang Yang's house, in addition to relatives and friends, there were also many neighbors milling around the door.

Originally, they came to see the new wife, but they were attracted by Zhou Ziwen's cooking.

"Lao Zhang? What kind of food does your family cook? Why is it so delicious?" A familiar neighbor asked at the door.

"It's just a few ordinary home-cooked dishes, but the cook for our family is Zhou Zhiqing. His cooking skills are so good. I guess he should have learned from the chef when he was in the city."

Seeing his neighbor so surprised, Lao Zhang smiled even more.

This neighbor regretted a little. If he had known that the banquet at Lao Zhang's house was so delicious, he would have come to join in the fun.

Isn't it just a courtesy? It's not like he can't afford it.

If I could have this meal, it would be all worth it.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything.

……

In the kitchen, after the last dish was served, Zhou Ziwen led the Chen sisters and Shen Zhaodi slowly to the living room.

Not many people come to Zhang Lei's wedding, but it's not that few in this era. Only close relatives and people with very good relationships will participate.

Because everyone was eating in the house, the place seemed crowded.

The three square tables were all full. When they saw Zhou Ziwen and others coming out, they all invited them to come and sit.

The host Zhang Yang and his parents stood up to make way for them.

Zhou Ziwen was polite, but couldn't resist Old Man Zhang, so he had no choice but to sit down.

Because there was not enough space, the aunties at the table simply ate standing up.

According to them, eating while standing makes digestion faster and allows you to eat more.

Although this is a joke, there is some truth in it.

Those who sit and eat are mostly old men who drink. If you drink this wine, you will not be able to drink it down within two hours.

When eating while standing, the chopsticks can be extended further, making it easier to pick up food than sitting down.

"Don't be stunned. Everyone, hurry up and eat. It's such a cold day. If you don't eat, it will be cold."

Seeing everyone staring closely at the food on the table but not taking action, Old Man Zhang quickly urged them.

The master has spoken, so naturally everyone will not be polite.

Not even bothering to drink any wine, he hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and reached for the meat and vegetables he had been eyeing for a long time.

On this table, there are four meat dishes and four ingredients, for a total of eight dishes.

The number eight is considered a lucky number, and this was specially arranged by Old Man Zhang.

After smelling the fragrance for so long, these relatives and friends tasted it for the first time.

As soon as they entered, their eyes lit up.

"It's delicious, it's delicious. This dish is the best I've ever eaten in my life."

"This is the sika deer meat that Lao Zhang was talking about. This meat is so delicious. It's stewed so well that all the flavor goes into the meat. It's delicious. It's so delicious."

"Zhou Zhiqing is too powerful, even better than those chefs."

"The fried eggs with leeks are also a must-have. I want to eat more of this."

……

"Eat, eat more."

Seeing how everyone was devouring their food, Old Man Zhang not only was not dissatisfied, but instead asked everyone to eat more.

After working for a long time, Zhou Ziwen was also hungry.

He was not polite and just started eating with everyone.

As for their praise, although Zhou Ziwen was happy, he didn't pay much attention to it.

I know whether his cooking skills are good or not.

Perhaps in the county town, his cooking skills are pretty good and he can be considered a famous chef.

But compared with those real cooking masters, he is still far behind.

That is to say, in this era, everyone is living a hard life and doesn’t get much delicious food.

Not to mention that the food he cooks tastes good, even if it is ordinary, as long as there is oil and water, everyone will find it delicious.

"Yiyi, sister, eat quickly."

Seeing that the two sisters looked a little embarrassed, Zhou Ziwen gave each of them a piece of meat.

Seeing so many people present and Zhou Ziwen making such intimate gestures, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying were a little shy.

But while being shy, he is also very sweet.

Zhou Ziwen dotes on them so much that they feel that they are with the wrong person.

Because Zhou Ziwen's cooking was so delicious, some of the older men who liked drinking didn't bother to drink and focused on the dishes on the table.

Although eight dishes may seem like a lot and the portions are sufficient, with so many people per table, no matter how many dishes there are, it’s not enough!

If you start too slowly, it might be gone.

Some people have fast hands, some have slow hands, and they still understand this truth.

Soon, today's protagonists, the groom and the bride, came out to toast, and everyone slowed down at this time.

But when the toasters left, they started fighting again.

Some relatives at home were planning to get married, but at this moment they were thinking about Zhou Ziwen.

The food he cooks is so delicious. It would be a huge honor if his nephew and daughter could have such a meal when they get married.

So those who had ideas gathered one by one to have a drink with Zhou Ziwen.

In this scene, it was as if he was the protagonist today, and the groom and bride were the foils.

Fortunately, Old Man Zhang didn't care about this.

Not to mention that Zhou Ziwen was originally the chef they invited, but to say that he was the leader of the mushroom team, so they had to build a good relationship.

This year, because of Zhou Ziwen, during the autumn harvest, they all received a few more yuan.

And this is just the beginning. When mushrooms are cultivated in large quantities next year, the extra money they will get will not be more than a few bucks.

At the very least, there should be more than twenty or thirty!

Don't underestimate the twenty or thirty yuan. In this era, the bride price for marrying a wife is only about ten yuan.

Of course, this is also in the countryside. If it is in a rural area, if the conditions are good, three big items will be needed. If the conditions are not good, you can have less. If there are no three items, one or two items will be fine.

There is also someone like Chen Qiaoyi who wants to marry the person she chooses for nothing.

Zhou Ziwen was in the countryside and had limited conditions. He only gave his wife a watch, which was a bit shabby when she thought about it.

It's not that he can't afford it, but that this era is not suitable for being too showy.

……

Zhou Ziwen also refused to refuse those who came to him for a drink.

When it comes to drinking, he really hasn't been afraid of anyone.

The elders in Dabazi Village all have a good drinking capacity, but no matter how good they are, they can't compare to Zhou Ziwen.

After he advanced to the eighth level of Bajiquan, he found that drinking alcohol was like drinking water. Even if he drank all the time, he would not get drunk.

This also made Zhou Ziwen a little troubled.

After all, he wouldn't be drunk, so he would have less fun.

This drinking session, of course, ended with Zhou Ziwen's victory.

When Zhou Ziwen stood up from his seat, most of the drinkers lay down.

At the end of the meal, Zhang Yang quietly stuffed a red envelope over him. This was his reward for helping with the cooking.

"Ziwen, thank you for today. Your cooking skills are really good. I estimate that after today, many people will ask you to help with cooking." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

Zhou Ziwen took the red envelope without opening it, and said with a smile: "Cooking is a trivial matter. As a fellow villager in my hometown, I will definitely help if I have time." Zhou Ziwen said.

He also knew that after today's banquet, there would be many people looking for him to cook.

Zhang Yang's words were probably meant to test his tone.

Based on the idea that idleness is also idle, he did not refuse.

Just ask him to cook. Since winter is here, cats have nothing to do at home, so they might as well find some extra money.

Speaking of which, it is still very profitable to cook for others, especially as the New Year is approaching and everyone is hosting happy events, so the spending is relatively generous.

Maybe it’s possible to earn dozens of dollars in a month.

Although he is not short of money, he does not have much spare money either.

He is still very willing to take on a job like helping others with cooking.
