Zhou Ziwen's hands were steady, and he sprinkled the brine evenly into the pot. In just a moment, the soy milk in the pot solidified and turned into white and tender tofu.

"Okay, this is just right. I like soft tofu."

Zhou Ziwen clapped his hands and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

"Is it okay now?" Chen Shiying and Shen Zhaodi looked at the scene in surprise.

They saw Zhou Ziwen making tofu with their own eyes. After watching it, they found that it seemed quite simple.

"Haha, don't you think it's quite simple?" Zhou Ziwen asked with a smile.

Chen Shiying and Shen Zhaodi nodded at the same time.

"Just keep it simple. Making tofu is not complicated. You just need to pay attention to the heat and the amount of brine." Zhou Ziwen explained.

Some things are just like this, easy for those who know how to do them, but difficult for those who don't.

There are not many steps to making tofu. Anyone with normal skills can learn it by watching it once.

"I'll try it next time." Chen Shiying's eyes were bright and she looked eager to try.

"Okay! I'll watch from the side then." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

The better his sister-in-law's cooking skills are, the happier he is.

Speaking of which, since he came to the countryside, he hardly cooked. He just had three meals a day and his life was so wonderful.

Chen Qiaoyi also took care of the laundry and cleaning the house, so he didn't have to do anything.

Life like this is more comfortable than living in the city.

"Brother Zhou, is the dragon and phoenix soup ready? I can't wait."

At this time, Zhou Chaoyang ran in from outside and asked impatiently.

He had been watching the fire outside for such a long time.

Smelling the aroma of the Dragon and Phoenix Soup, his stomach growled for a long time, and he almost couldn't help but sneak some food several times.

"I'll go take a look, it should be almost done."

Zhou Ziwen turned around and walked out of the kitchen and into the yard.

Even before opening the lid of the pot, he knew it was almost cooked just by smelling it.

When he opened the lid and poked it with chopsticks, he found that the old hen was indeed stewed.

The chicken will separate with a gentle pinch.

"Okay, put out the fire and get ready to eat."

Zhou Ziwen handed the chopsticks to Zhou Chaoyang beside him and spoke.

"Hehe, that's great."

Zhou Chaoyang happily took the chopsticks and hurriedly started to put out the fire. He looked very diligent.

Zhou Ziwen was not afraid of the heat and directly brought the pot to the stone table in the yard. It was getting dark outside, but it was still possible to see clearly.

Chen Shiying brought out a kerosene lamp from the house, which made it easier to see.

There are only two dishes today, one is dragon and phoenix soup, and the other is fresh water tofu.

With tofu, Zhou Ziwen didn’t even plan to eat rice. He could be full just by eating tofu.

"Brother Zhou, I brought the wine."

Zhou Chaoyang went back home and brought back the fine wine he had treasured for a long time.

"Yeah, not bad."

Zhou Ziwen nodded with satisfaction.

You can’t drink his dragon and phoenix soup without contributing some good wine.

"Eat an egg first. This egg is well-cooked and absolutely delicious."

Seeing that no one had started, Zhou Ziwen took the lead and used a spoon to scoop an egg for everyone.

These eggs were just cooked together with the batch from the villagers.

After all, snake meat boiled eggs are a good thing. After cooking it for others, they have to taste it themselves.

"Mmm, delicious. This egg is so delicious."

Zhou Chaoyang was the fastest. He peeled the eggshell in no time and couldn't wait to take a bite.

"Haha, you better take it easy, this thing is good, but don't eat too much!"

Zhou Ziwen said with deep meaning.

"Ah? Why?" Zhou Chaoyang asked in confusion.

"Haha, you'll know tonight."

Zhou Ziwen didn't explain either. There were girls present, so he didn't want to say it directly.

Chen Shiying, on the other hand, seemed to be thinking about something, with some vague guesses in her mind, but she didn't quite understand.

"Then I'll eat chicken!" If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it. Zhou Chaoyang didn't bother with it. He turned around, picked up a piece of chicken, and started chewing it happily.

"Tsk tsk, your good wine tastes different. Chaoyang, please get some more good wine when you have time. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to call you next time when there is something delicious."

Zhou Ziwen took a sip of wine and said jokingly.

"No problem, I'll get two bottles and keep them at home next time." Zhou Chaoyang nodded hurriedly.

Things that cost money are no problem for him, but this kind of delicacy cannot be bought with money.

He is a man of dignity and doesn't like to eat for free.

This time we had Brother Zhou’s dragon and phoenix soup, and he also contributed a bottle of good wine.

"Haha, that's right."

As for this kind of good wine, he really can't get it.

It’s not that I don’t have money, but that I don’t have tickets.

Especially for this kind of good wine, it doesn’t matter, you can’t buy it without a ticket.

Even if he could buy it, he would not be willing to buy it.

He wouldn't spend the family savings lavishly on a bottle of wine.

Zhou Ziwen enjoyed his meal today very much.

The snake meat was stewed until tender, the chicken was stewed very fragrantly, and Zhou Chaoyang's wine was also delicious.

There is also freshly cooked tofu and the spicy sauce made by my sister-in-law. It is fragrant and spicy, so delicious that you can't stop eating it.

After eating and drinking his fill, Zhou Ziwen felt that the dragon and phoenix soup had a strong aftereffect.

Fortunately, this effect is not only effective for men, but also for women.

Look, before Zhou Ziwen had the chance to take the initiative to find Chen's younger sister, she came here by herself.

But this girl was still quite reserved. After coming over, she pretended to clean the house for him, and she was very serious about it.

Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen has a keen eye and takes the initiative to send out signals.

The two of them, one in love and the other interested, just happened to get together.

…

This made life difficult for Chen Shiying next door. Hearing the noise from next door, coupled with the effect of the Dragon and Phoenix Soup, her breathing became rapid and her face turned red.

My heart was pounding and my mind was a little confused.

An hour later, she heard her sister coming home, and she hurriedly covered herself with the quilt, turned her back, and pretended to be asleep.

But in fact, how could she sleep? Even when Chen Qiaoyi started snoring softly, she still couldn't fall asleep.

"Why……"

A soft sigh sounded in the quiet darkness.

…

The next morning, Chen Shiying woke up late, which was unusual for her. If it weren't for the sound of the village gong, she would not have woken up.

But after getting up, there were two not-so-obvious dark circles under my eyes.

Of course, because she is beautiful, she still looks good even with dark circles.

While eating, Chen Shiying looked at Zhou Ziwen quietly, which made Zhou Ziwen feel a little puzzled.

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out how he had offended his sister-in-law. In the end, he could only attribute it to the fact that women always have bad tempers for a few days.

Because I got up a little late, today's breakfast was simple: yesterday's dragon and phoenix soup, some steamed buns with two-grain flour, and a plate of pickled radish. (End of this chapter)
