Chapter 40 Stonemason

In the early hours of the morning, under Zhou Ziwen's expectant gaze, the auto-switch panel burst into a strong light.

The light only burst out for a moment and then stabilized.

When Zhou Ziwen came to his senses, he found that the second hang-up position on the hang-up panel was fully opened.

With a thought, Zhou Ziwen activated the skill he had thought of long ago.

Bajiquan LV4 (197/400)

Fishing Level 0 (32/50)

That's right, he gave the second AFK position to the fishing skill.

However, he had little experience in fishing, whether in his past life or this life, and his level was not even level one.

His fishing skills were terrible. In his two lifetimes combined, he had never caught a single fish.

But it doesn't matter. With the hang-up panel, even if your skills are poor, you can improve them quickly.

That night, Zhou Ziwen was so happy that he couldn't sleep.

After the second hang-up position was opened, the third hang-up position began to gather.

According to the current progress, the new idle position will be opened in one month.

In other words, this time next month, he will be able to use three skills at the same time.

The next day, the sound of the production team's gong rang out, and Zhou Ziwen got up refreshed.

Although he slept very late last night, he was very energetic.

I have to say that young people have great bodies and can go without sleeping for a whole night.

Just as Zhou Ziwen opened the gate, the girl next to him heard the noise and ran over.

"Brother Ziwen, I'm here to learn boxing." Chen Qiaoyi said seriously.

"Okay, come in quickly." Zhou Ziwen said loudly.

The two of them sang in unison and entered Zhou Ziwen's yard one after the other.

Next door, Chen Shiying heard the noise and her face was full of helplessness.

You are speaking so loudly, are you talking specifically for her to hear?

She was too embarrassed to expose whether he was trying to hide something by doing this.

When it was time for dinner, Zhou Ziwen, with a refreshed face, and Chen Qiaoyi, with rosy cheeks, returned to the Chen family.

Chen Shiying quietly observed the two people's clothes and felt relieved when she found that there was no change from usual.

She was afraid that these two young people were ignorant, could not control themselves, and made mistakes.

However, she felt that she had to find time to remind her sister and remind her that girls should be more reserved.

After breakfast, it was soon time to go to work, and Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters went to work together.

Lifting stones requires no technical skills and is easy for Zhou Ziwen.

And not everyone has his good physical strength.

Like other workers who carry stones, he has to rest for a while after each load.

While they were resting, Zhou Ziwen mingled with the stonemason group and learned their techniques.

The stonemasons did not care about these techniques. Seeing that Zhou Ziwen wanted to learn, they taught him enthusiastically without any reservation.

After all, stonemasonry skills are not valuable in the village, and many families know some of them.

Everyone worked in a production team. Even if they didn't know how to do something at first, they would get the hang of it later.

Of course, it is easy to learn the technology, but it is difficult to do it well.

The brain can do it, but the hands can’t.

To shape a piece of stone into the shape you want, both talent and hard work are needed.

Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen did not need these. Through the explanations of the masters, the stonemasonry skills soon appeared on the hang-up panel.

Zhou Ziwen also temporarily took down his fishing skill and used his stonemason skill instead.

He found that if he studied while idle, he could improve his skills faster.

The knowledge he learned could be quickly integrated through the hang-up panel and absorbed and digested by him imperceptibly.

After discovering this, Zhou Ziwen turned on his stonemason skill.

He is also a person with aspirations. Although he does the same job, being a stonemason is a skilled worker, while carrying stones is just hard labor.

Being a stonemason can improve your skills, but carrying stones is just carrying stones.

If you can become a stonemason, you will be treated like a master. Not only will the work be easy, but you will also get more work points.

Unlike carrying stones, no matter how hard they work, they can only earn a maximum of nine work points a day. This is because they are doing hard labor, so they are given a little more.

With the help of the auto-switch panel, Zhou Ziwen learns very quickly.

He understood everything the stonemasons taught him and mastered it immediately.

"As expected of an intellectual, he learns things quickly. In a few years, we old guys won't be able to catch up with him."

Seeing Zhou Ziwen learn so quickly, an uncle stonemason exclaimed.

"Master Chen, what do you say about me coming to work with you in quarrying stones?" Zhou Ziwen asked.

Master Chen is the most skilled master among the stonemasons. Although he doesn't take charge of things, if he gives a word, even the team leader has to give him face.

"Sure, why not? You're a good kid. It would be a pity to have you carry stones. I'll talk to Xiao Zou later and ask him to put you in our group." Master Chen took the cigarette handed over by Zhou Ziwen, nodded and said.

"Thank you, Master Chen." Zhou Ziwen hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you for what? With your help, we can have an easier time. But now that you are in our group, you have to be more diligent."

Although Master Chen's words were a joke, they were also true.

Although Zhou Ziwen learns very fast, he is still an apprentice after all. As an apprentice, he does all kinds of odd jobs, so he has to be diligent.

"Master Chen, please rest assured. I will do my best." Zhou Ziwen patted his chest.

"Haha, that's what you said." Master Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Although stonemasonry skills are not valuable, not everyone is willing to teach them.

It was because Zhou Ziwen had good interpersonal skills and good judgment, and he would give them cigarettes from time to time. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to gain the approval of the stonemasons.

Master Chen kept his word. When Captain Zou came to the quarry to inspect the work, he suggested transferring Zhou Ziwen to their team.

Transferring a team is not a big deal. We are all from the same village and are not outsiders. Team Leader Zou was also very considerate and agreed without thinking.

So, Zhou Ziwen was transferred to the stonemason group and became a stonemason apprentice.

[Stonemason LV0 (19/50)]

After a day, Zhou Ziwen gained a lot, from knowing nothing to having a basic understanding.

In the stonemason group, you can also do some work such as pulling lines and drilling holes.

It's some odd jobs, but it's also the basics of stonemasonry.

According to the current progress, I believe that once the threshing ground is built, he will be able to become a qualified stonemason.

Although this technology will rarely be used in the future, it will still be no problem to build a stone table, a water tank, a pond, etc.

Moreover, in the production team, if there is any stonemason work, it will be given priority.

It is always good to have many skills, and Zhou Ziwen is unwilling to give up the opportunity to learn a skill.

Anyway, for him, learning technology is a relatively simple thing. With the hang-up panel, he can improve while lying down.

However, after finishing work, he took down the stonemason skill and switched back to the fishing skill.

For him, stonemasonry is work and fishing is life.

Work is work, life should not be chaotic.
