Chapter 154 Roe Deer
"Brother Ziwen, we're back!"
Zhou Ziwen was peeling tea fruit and forgot the time for a moment. When Chen Qiaoyi came back, he realized that he had not yet gone to the mushroom house.
"Hey, Brother Ziwen, what are you doing? Is it food?" Looking at the pile of fruits and peels in front of Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously.
"This is good stuff. Have you heard of oil tea fruit?" Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Oil-tea fruit? Is it tea?" Chen Qiaoyi tilted her head and thought about it, but she had no memory of it at all.
"Stupid girl, tea fruit can be used to extract oil." Chen Shiying knocked her sister's head in annoyance.
Because she loves cooking, she knows a little about camellia oil.
"That's right! It's the fruit that can be used to extract oil." Zhou Ziwen was very happy to see that Chen Shiying knew the function of tea oil fruit.
After all, happy things should be shared, especially with people who know the business.
"I heard that camellia oil is delicious. Is that true?" Seeing Zhou Ziwen nod, Chen Shiying also became interested.
"That's true, especially when mixed with cold dishes. That's what makes it delicious." Zhou Ziwen nodded. "But I haven't tried it either, so I don't know if it's true. I'll know after I make it and try it."
"That's true, but do you know how to press oil?" Chen Shiying asked.
"There is a folk remedy you can try." Zhou Ziwen didn't say anything complete. Before the oil is squeezed out, everything he said is empty.
"Do you need help?" Chen Shiying asked. It can be seen that she is very interested in camellia oil.
"Well, if you have time, come and skin the animals together!" Zhou Ziwen was feeling that skinning alone was quite boring, and it would be nice if he had someone to accompany him.
"Then Yiyi, please help here first. I'll go cook and come back to help after dinner." Chen Shiying said immediately.
"Okay." Chen Qiaoyi agreed, went into the house to bring out a stool, and sat next to Zhou Ziwen to help.
"Sister, go and cook quickly. Come and help me when you're done." Chen Qiaoyi urged.
"You are so rude. You even know how to order me around." Chen Shiying rolled her eyes, but still went to cook obediently.
"Hehe!" Chen Qiaoyi covered her mouth and laughed.
Amidst the laughter and chatter, the three of them were busy with their own things. Chen Shiying went to the next yard to cook, while Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi continued to peel the oil tea fruits.
After dinner, one more person came to peel the skin.
It will take some time to peel all the 200 kilograms of tea oil fruits.
Fortunately, Shen Zhaodi came to visit after dinner and found that no one was at home, so she went to Zhou Ziwen's house.
Now, there are two more people helping.
Zhou Chaoyang was called by Shen Zhaodi. After all, she couldn't be the only one helping with this matter!
Since you have received so much care from Brother Zhou, isn’t it your duty to help him?
With five people working together, their speed increased immediately. Before dark, they had peeled more than 200 kilograms of tea oil fruits.
"After working for a long time, I finally finished it. It seems that it is not easy to eat some tea oil!" After finishing the work, Zhou Ziwen stood up and said with some emotion.
"Although it's troublesome, it's worth it. I've tried camellia oil and it tastes really good." Zhou Chaoyang said.
As a disciple of the academy, Zhou Chaoyang was quite knowledgeable and had tasted many delicious foods. Things like camellia oil, which Zhou Ziwen and his friends considered a delicacy, were quite commonplace for Zhou Chaoyang.
However, since going to the countryside, Zhou Chaoyang, a disciple of the compound, has also begun to suffer.
This sense of gap is even greater than that felt by Zhou Ziwen and the others.
The fact that he could persist in such an environment is enough to prove Zhou Ziwen's extraordinaryness.
Nothing happened that night. After going to work the next day, Zhou Ziwen stayed in the mushroom house for a while, then found an excuse to slip away.
A day passed and the villagers no longer talked about the people in the Youth League Home. Yesterday morning, Li Weimin and the others were sent to the county town. Zhou Ziwen didn't know what specific punishment they would receive, but his ending would definitely not be good.
After this incident, both the people in the Youth League Institute and the villagers became much more obedient. This example of killing the chicken to scare the monkey was indeed effective.
After returning home, Zhou Ziwen continued to go into the mountains. Yesterday he encountered tea oil trees, which delayed his hunting. Today he wanted to continue what he did yesterday.
The family hadn't eaten meat for several days, and Zhou Ziwen was a little greedy.
His strength requires adequate nutrition. If he doesn't eat enough, his strength won't be fully utilized.
This time, Zhou Ziwen went straight to the other side of Niutou Mountain. For him, the front was no longer challenging, and only the back was an undeveloped treasure land.
It took Zhou Ziwen more than half an hour to arrive at the place where he discovered the tea oil tree yesterday.
When he got here, he started to be careful. He still remembered that he had encountered a lone wolf on the outskirts of Niutou Mountain last time. He thought that there must be wolves active here, but he didn't know whether they were on this mountain or the mountain behind.
Holding the axe, Zhou Ziwen moved forward cautiously. The road he was walking on was actually going downwards.
If the side of the village is the east of Niutou Mountain, then the side he is walking on now is the west of Niutou Mountain, and if he goes down all the way he will reach the foot of the mountain.
However, the foot of the mountain here is connected to another mountain and there is no strict distinction.
Not long after walking forward, Zhou Ziwen saw a wild roe deer. Before the roe deer could react, Zhou Ziwen swung his axe and knocked it down instantly.
Zhou Ziwen hurried forward. The roe deer, struck hard, trembled on all four legs, unable to get up. He gathered all his strength into his fist and delivered a powerful punch to the roe deer's head.
There was a cracking sound, like the sound of a bone breaking. The wild roe deer lying on the ground trembled and became motionless in an instant.
"Haha, now we have no shortage of meat to eat." Zhou Ziwen smiled brightly.
This wild roe deer must weigh at least fifty or sixty kilograms. This much meat is enough to eat for many days.
Zhou Ziwen put down his backpack and put the wild roe deer in it. His backpack was quite big, but even after putting the wild roe deer in it, its head was still sticking out.
"Hehe, okay, the bigger the better." Zhou Ziwen happily picked up the axe, put on the backpack, and went straight home.
This Niutou Mountain is not safe, especially since the wild roe deer just bled a little after being struck by the axe.
The smell of blood might attract other beasts.
Although he was not afraid, today's harvest was enough, so he was not greedy for more.
He remembered that roe deer seemed to be a protected wild animal, but in those days there was no such thing as protected animals. Whoever caught it owned it.
On the way back, Zhou Ziwen deliberately avoided the people in the village. Although he was the one who killed the wild roe deer, it was likely to arouse people's jealousy, so he decided to eat it quietly at home.
Fortunately, everyone was at work at that time, which made it convenient for Zhou Ziwen as he didn't meet anyone along the way.
When he returned home, Zhou Ziwen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What is worrying is not the lack of food but the uneven distribution of food. If he is seen by the villagers, he might not be able to keep the roe deer.
