Chapter 421 The Kitten is Meowing

While fishing, Zhou Ziwen was also checking the auto-switch panel.

Especially the planting skills.

【Planting Level 0 (288/500)】

The proficiency of upgrading the planting skill is very high.

Just getting started requires 500 proficiency points.

So far, his proficiency has just passed the halfway mark.

However, the higher the proficiency required, the more powerful the skill is.

The skill of planting includes many things. As long as it can be grown, it is within its scope.

Planting mushrooms, vegetables, grains, trees, and medicinal herbs...

If this skill is improved, he will have no rivals in planting in the future.

After looking at his proficiency in planting skills, Zhou Ziwen calculated that it would only take about ten days to upgrade to level one and reach the entry level.

Moreover, because his mushroom growing skill level is relatively high, he can improve his mushroom growing proficiency by analogy.

And the improvement speed is relatively fast.

Zhou Ziwen can graft the experience of growing mushrooms into planting skills through retrospection.

It is called grafting, but it is actually copying. The only difference is that the technique of growing mushrooms is relatively simple, and the proficiency in the cultivation skills is slow to be copied.

At the end of the day, I only gained about twenty levels of proficiency.

However, if you add the increase in your own idle time, the improvement in proficiency will be quite significant after a day.

"Haha, you've taken the bait."

"It's still a big fish, a good start!"

Just as Zhou Ziwen was checking the panel, his fishing rod finally moved.

Zhou Ziwen waited for a moment, then decisively put the club away.

With his fishing skills, once a fish is hooked, few can escape.

Before he pulled the fish up, he realized it was a big fish. It looked like it weighed at least three pounds.

In a small river like this, a fish weighing more than three pounds is considered big.

If other people caught such a big fish, they would have to walk around the village and get lost for a long time.

Of course, there was a shortage of meat in that era. Even if people ate meat, they had to hide it. If they caught fish, they would take it home quietly and would not dare to wander around outside.

Zhou Ziwen's fishing skills are pretty good. After an hour, he caught quite a few fish, which added up to almost eight kilograms.

However, most of them are small fish as long as the index finger. They can either be made into dried fish or dog food, so there will be no waste.

Especially Tayun and Xiaobudian, they have made great contributions and their bodies also need nutrition.

After all, it is a hunting dog, and it cannot hunt prey if it is not in good health.

Dogs have strong digestive abilities and are not afraid of the bones of small fish. They can be given as snacks by simply cooking them slightly.

It was almost noon when Zhou Ziwen packed up his fishing rod and went home.

The Chen sisters were still busy in the mushroom house, so he planned to prepare the meal first and wait for them to come back from work.

This way, they can have a longer rest at noon.

When it comes to loving his wife, he does a very good job.

When he got home, he put the small fish in a stone tank outside and would deal with them when he had time.

He took out the remaining big fish and dealt with it.

This fish is the main course for lunch.

After quickly preparing the fish, Zhou Ziwen started to get busy in the kitchen.

Due to time constraints, he didn't do anything fancy and just made some pickled fish.

After slicing the fish in the kitchen, Zhou Ziwen washed it briefly, then poured some starch and salt, then some wine, added two scallions, and then ginger and other common seasonings.

Starch can keep the fish fresh and tender, and salt is used to add flavor.

Wine and green onions are used to remove fishy smell.

Wild fish like this have a strong fishy smell, and if they are not handled properly, they will not taste good.

Zhou Ziwen is an excellent cook and has a very precise control over seasonings.

Every seasoning was just right.

After marinating the fish, he put the steamed buns he had made in the morning in the steamer to heat them up, and started cooking the fish in another large pot.

For pickled fish, pickled cabbage is the essence of this dish.

Whether the pickled fish tastes good or not depends on how well the pickled cabbage is made.

The sauerkraut in Zhou Ziwen's house was freshly made, and since Zhou Ziwen was personally in charge of it, the taste was of course impeccable.

Heat oil over high heat and stir-fry the chopped sauerkraut.

With a sizzling sound, after being heated by high temperature and oil, a rich smell of sauerkraut filled the entire kitchen and then drifted out along the chimney.

The Chen sisters, who had just returned home from work and had not yet reached the door of their house, smelled the fragrance and smiled brightly.

"Wow, Sister Shiying, Sister Yiyi, I really envy you. Brother Zhou is making delicious food for you at home again."

Shen Zhaodi, who went home with them, looked envious.

"I guess Brother Zhou made pickled fish."

Zhou Chaoyang was drooling at the taste of sauerkraut.

"Haha, do you even need to guess? My brother Zhou loves cooking Sichuan cuisine. I really suspect he's from Sichuan.

Of course, although they were envious, neither she nor Zhou Chaoyang had any intention of eating for free.

After all, I just had a free meal yesterday, and it would be a bit impolite to go there again today.

Friends are friends, but brothers still have to settle accounts clearly. Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang are also people who care about their reputation.

Although they may seem a little shameless after getting to know each other, that is a sign of intimacy.

It’s okay to eat for free occasionally, but not every day.

"Brother Ziwen, is the meal ready? I'm hungry."

While Zhou Ziwen was still cooking in the kitchen, Chen Qiaoyi ran in first.

"It will be ready soon. Wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Zhou Ziwen turned around and gave her a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Ziwen, you are so nice." Chen Qiaoyi moved closer to Zhou Ziwen, hugged him from behind, buried her head in his back, and rubbed it with a happy look on her face.

"Hurry up and eat, I'll start cooking right away."

Zhou Ziwen turned around and kissed her, but he was angry.

He can't stand teasing, especially when the person is his own wife.

In order to take care of his daughters-in-law, he decided to feed them more.

"Only when you're full can you have strength!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Ziwen smiled to himself.

Next to her, Chen Qiaoyi had no idea that she was about to suffer, and was still washing her hands with a smile on her face.

At lunch, the two sisters happily ate the dishes Zhou Ziwen prepared for them.

"Sister, Yiyi, have you guys finished your meal?" Zhou Ziwen asked.

"Have you finished eating? What's wrong?" Chen Shiying asked.

"Just eat well." Zhou Ziwen nodded, with his hands behind his head. His handsome face looked particularly charming.

But looking at his appearance, the two sisters had a bad feeling in their hearts.

The two looked at each other, wondering in their hearts who had offended him again.

When the two sisters cleaned up the dishes and returned to the bedroom to prepare for a nap, they finally tasted the bitter fruit.

However, this bitter fruit tastes sweet and is very tempting.

The two sisters were both happy and looking forward to it.

I don’t know when, but outside the bright window, bursts of kitten meows were heard.
