161. Chapter 161: Knitting a Sweater



Since the oil has been squeezed out, Zhou Ziwen plans to put it aside until it is completely squeezed out.

After the previous round of squeezing, there is actually very little oil left, but in line with the principle of not wasting, Zhou Ziwen plans to squeeze it for a while longer.

After working for half a day, it was time to go to work in the afternoon. The Chen sisters packed up and went out to work.

Zhou Ziwen also packed up his things and went to the dam at the foot of Niutou Mountain to continue building the stone table.

Because of the delay in oil pressing, his stone table has not been completed yet. Taking advantage of the free time in the afternoon, he decided to finish it in one go and move the stone table back first.

Carrying stonemason tools, Zhou Ziwen came to the dam by the river and continued to build it.

This time, he also planned to make two sets of stone tables, one for his own family and one for the Chen sisters.

Chen Qiaoyi followed her, and she wanted to have what others had, and also what others didn't have.

Although his wife-to-be will be marrying in a few days, he still has his elder sister-in-law, so it is not a waste to build this stone table.

Busy time always passes quickly. Two hours later, Zhou Ziwen finally built two stone tables and added stone benches.

"Call it a day and go home."

Zhou Ziwen stretched, packed up his stonemasonry tools, carried the two stone tables and walked home.

The rough processing work here has been completed, and the next fine processing can be done slowly when you get home.

Working at home is much more convenient than working outside.

For example, drinking water, resting, etc., it is still more comfortable at home.

For Zhou Ziwen, the two stone tables were not heavy, weighing only two hundred pounds in total.

With his physical strength, the two hundred pounds were as light as a feather in his hands. He ran all the way and soon carried it back home.

Then he spent some time carrying back several stone pillars.

By the time all this was done, it was almost time to get off work.

Taking advantage of some free time, Zhou Ziwen went to the mushroom house. After a routine inspection, he went off to work with the Chen sisters.

He comes once when he starts work and once when he finishes work, so it counts as going to work.

Anyway, the village's requirements for him were very relaxed. No matter what he did, he just had to grow mushrooms and teach his team members.

As for unimportant things like slacking off at work, no one will pay attention to them.

Of course, this also allowed the production team to learn that the mushroom cultivation in the mushroom house was going smoothly. As long as there were no mistakes, this batch of mushrooms could be cultivated quickly.

If he didn't have this achievement, he probably wouldn't be so free.

"Brother Ziwen, have you finished your work?" Chen Qiaoyi asked with concern on the way home.

"It's almost done. We can do the rest of the work slowly at home." Zhou Ziwen replied.

"That's good. Actually, you can do it slowly. Don't be so tired." Chen Qiaoyi was a little worried that he was tired.

"Haha, the work is almost done, and I will have a lot of free time later." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

After this period of busyness, the household affairs have been almost dealt with. Before, it was because the autumn harvest was about to begin and he needed to do what needed to be done.

He will be very free for some time.

"That's good." Chen Qiaoyi felt relieved after hearing this.

"Hehe." Zhou Ziwen rubbed her head.

"By the way, Brother Ziwen, I see that the Mushroom House is not very busy. Can I do something else in my free time?" Chen Qiaoyi asked expectantly.

"What do you want to do?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.

"I want to learn how to knit sweaters." Chen Qiaoyi answered shyly.

Just by looking at her expression, you can tell who this sweater is knitted for.

"I'm afraid that won't work. It won't have a good influence. You can read and study, but you can't do other idle things." Zhou Ziwen shook his head.

Although with his current status, it wouldn't be a big problem even if Chen Qiaoyi knitted a sweater at work, but it would still have a bad impact.

If you study by reading books, no one will say anything.

After all, humans have a natural respect for knowledge.

Although these are chaotic times, the impact is not as great in the countryside.

The villagers just want to fill their stomachs, make more money and store more food.

Not interested in anything else.

Of course, this is also the good result of several village cadres taking the lead, such as Uncle Wu Dagang. He just wants to live a stable life and wants to lead everyone to live a stable life.

"You can only read books!" Chen Qiaoyi was a little disappointed.

"It's good enough that you can read. What else do you want? This is at work, not at home." Chen Shiying knocked on her sister's head.

"Okay!" Chen Qiaoyi didn't want to cause trouble for Zhou Ziwen. Even if she couldn't do anything, she had no objection.

It’s much easier now than before.

But it was just too easy and seemed a bit boring, so she asked if she could do something else.

"Ziwen, don't listen to her, she's just idle." Chen Shiying glared at her sister and said to Zhou Ziwen.

"It's okay. If you are really bored, just read a book. I have a few books at home. You can take a look." Zhou Ziwen said to them.

These words were not only said to the Chen sisters, but also to Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi.

"Haha, I finally won't be so bored anymore." Zhou Chaoyang was a little happy.

He planned to go to the county town to buy some leisure books so that he could pass the time while working.

To be honest, working in the mushroom house is really boring.

All they need to do every day is water and ventilate the mushrooms on time, and sometimes sprinkle some special nutrient solution on the mushrooms. Apart from these things, they don’t have anything else to do.

"Let's go home."

Zhou Ziwen chatted with them along the way and soon returned home.

"Yiyi, the tea oil is almost squeezed out. You can take it and find something to put it in. By the way, make some cold dishes to taste." Zhou Ziwen said to Chen Qiaoyi when they were almost at the door of the house.

"Yeah." Chen Qiaoyi looked expectant.

"By the way, bring some to Zhaodi and the others so they can have a try too," Zhou Ziwen continued.

Zhou Ziwen has always been generous to his friends, and he likes to share any good things he has.

After returning home, Zhou Ziwen looked at the stone platform where oil was being pressed. No oil could be squeezed out of the tea seeds inside. Zhou Ziwen shook it vigorously a few times. Although a little oil could still be extracted, it was not much. It can be said that these tea seeds have been squeezed extremely clean.

I looked at the tea oil in the basin and found that it was almost full.

Zhou Ziwen estimated that it was about ten kilograms.

Out of the total 200 kilograms of tea oil fruit, only 10 kilograms were squeezed out.

"It should be pretty good!" Zhou Ziwen touched his chin, not knowing whether this was too much or too little.

In fact, the amount of oil he squeezed out was already very good. Even if he used a machine, he could only squeeze out about twelve or thirteen pounds at most.

He used his own old method and was able to squeeze out ten kilograms of juice, which was considered quite clean. (End of this chapter)
