Chapter 156 Dumplings
In the evening, Zhou Ziwen, the Chen sisters, Zhou Chaoyang, and Shen Zhaodi, the five of them gathered in front of the stove, watching the boiling hot pot in the pot.
Zhou Ziwen fries the ingredients himself. Although there is no butter, the aroma of the hot pot base is still overpowering.
The spicy and fragrant taste comes with the hot air, making people swallow their saliva.
"The blood is almost cooked, let's eat." Zhou Ziwen checked the heat and nodded with satisfaction.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qiaoyi, Shen Zhaodi and others couldn't wait to take action. Some were boiling tripe, some were eating blood sausage, and some were boiling vegetables.
"It's delicious, delicious, Brother Zhou, this tastes better than any other hot pot I've ever had." Shen Zhaodi gave him a thumbs up while eating.
As a person from Sichuan and Chongqing, she is the person who eats hot pot the most.
The fact that she, a native of Sichuan and Chongqing, praised him was enough to prove how good Zhou Ziwen's craftsmanship was.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. It would be great if I could get some butter. The taste is still a little off." Zhou Ziwen said modestly, but a complacent smile appeared on his face.
Butter is the soul of hot pot. He is very satisfied that he can make the hot pot so fragrant even without butter.
"Butter!" Zhou Chaoyang, who was standing by, pricked up his ears and kept this in mind.
He has connections in the county, and he can get things that others can't.
It’s just butter. Although it’s hard to get, it’s not impossible to get.
In order to eat delicious hot pot, he thought he could use his connections.
Next, they didn't bother to talk and just focused on eating hot pot.
Hot pot is not very friendly to the Chen sisters because they cannot eat spicy food and usually have a light taste.
Although they started to eat spicy food after working together with Zhou Ziwen, this hot pot was too strong and they both couldn't stand it.
The key is that the hot pot prepared by Zhou Ziwen tastes so good that even if they can't eat spicy food, they can't help but want to eat it.
And this is meat. In this era, no one doesn’t like to eat meat.
"Yiyi, sister, if you can't eat spicy food, you can wash it in boiling water before eating it." Seeing the two girls gasping for air due to the spiciness but unable to help sticking their chopsticks into the pot, Zhou Ziwen reminded them with a smile.
"Oh, yes. I'll go get some water then." After Zhou Ziwen's reminder, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying came to their senses at the same time.
At this moment, the two sisters began to doubt whether they were too stupid to think of such a simple solution.
"Haha!" Shen Zhaodi on the side laughed unscrupulously.
She likes to see others who obviously can't eat spicy food but can't help wanting to eat it.
"You silly girl, I'm going to tickle you to death." Chen Qiaoyi tickled her fiercely.
"No, I was wrong." Shen Zhaodi quickly begged for mercy.
With these two people around, the room was filled with cheerful laughter.
The hotpot meal lasted until ten o'clock, but in the second half, everyone slowed down and mostly talked and chatted.
Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang drank wine and ate food.
Zhou Ziwen ate the most at this meal.
I haven't eaten meat for so many days, and this time I finally had a full meal of meat.
When Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi left, Zhou Ziwen stuffed a piece of meat into their mouths, not much, only about five pounds.
"Brother Zhou, we can't take this." Shen Zhaodi stepped back hastily as if she had seen something scary.
"Yes, Brother Zhou, you just need to treat us to a big meal. You can't eat and take at the same time!" Zhou Chaoyang also spoke up.
"Alright, just take it if you want. Don't be shy." Zhou Ziwen turned around and stuffed it towards Zhou Chaoyang. Before he could refuse, he said, "This meat will be counted as the industrial coupons I owe you. Brothers should settle accounts. I'm not giving it to you for free."
"Brother Zhou, you have already paid off the industrial coupons." Zhou Chaoyang looked at Zhou Ziwen helplessly.
"I don't care. Let's go quickly. We have to go to work tomorrow and go to bed early." Zhou Ziwen pushed them out.
Zhou Chaoyang said that the industrial coupons had been paid off, but Zhou Ziwen felt that it was still a little short.
He said he paid it back because the boy would ask him to exchange the fish when he was greedy, but Zhou Ziwen did not accept the money.
During this period of time, he has paid back most of the debt.
Given their current relationship, there's actually no need to calculate it so clearly.
As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. They came to this unfamiliar place in the countryside and huddled together for warmth. Their relationship had already reached a certain level and there was no need to worry too much.
I don't care who suffers a loss and who gains an advantage.
Nothing happened that night. The next day, Zhou Ziwen got up from bed and did a few rounds of boxing in the yard to stretch his body.
After finishing his training, Zhou Ziwen had an idea and pulled out the hang-up panel.
【Bajiquan LV6(503/600)】
[Mushroom Planting Level 4 (224/400)]
Fishing Level 3 (73/300)
[Stonemason LV3 (52/300)]
【Cooking Level 4 (93/400)】
[Vegetable Planting Level 1 (77/100)]
…
After a few days, all skills have been improved, and the most obvious change is Bajiquan. In four days at most, Bajiquan will be able to be upgraded again.
Zhou Ziwen was also looking forward to it. The higher his level of Bajiquan, the safer he would be in the mountains in the future. If he was lucky enough to encounter prey, he could even kill it and eat the meat.
He has seen how rich the resources in the mountains are. If he wants to eat meat, he has to rely on this mountain.
When Zhou Ziwen arrived at the Chen sisters' house for dinner, the sisters were making dumplings.
"Brother Ziwen, come and help." Seeing Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi waved hurriedly.
"Today's breakfast is quite rich, we even have dumplings." Zhou Ziwen came over happily.
"My sister said you must want to eat meat, so she made it for you." Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.
"Sister, you are so nice to me, thank you." Zhou Ziwen felt warm in his heart when he heard this.
"It's all your credit that we can eat meat. We can only help." Chen Shiying smiled.
"Haha, it seems I have to work harder in the future." Zhou Ziwen laughed and accepted the compliment from his sister-in-law.
Excessive modesty is hypocrisy. It was really his credit that he was able to kill the roe deer.
"Hehe." Chen Qiaoyi looked very happy. She felt that the best thing she had done in her life was to date Zhou Ziwen.
With Zhou Ziwen around, she has someone to rely on. She is no longer panicking or worried. She just needs to live happily every day.
There is strength in numbers. Three people worked together to make dumplings and finished them quickly.
"Ziwen, you come and add the seasoning!" Chen Shiying said.
Compared with her, Zhou Ziwen has a more precise grasp of taste and the dipping sauce he makes is more delicious.
"good."
Zhou Ziwen was the natural choice for this task. During this time, he would also devote some time to cooking.
Although he is still far from level five, his cooking skills have begun to improve as his proficiency has increased, and the result is that his dishes taste better.
He found that it was necessary to improve his cooking skills. Not only could he maintain an absolute advantage in front of his sister-in-law and gain her admiration, but the dishes he cooked would also taste better.
If he comes across something good, he will definitely cook it himself, otherwise it will be wasted.
