After lunch, Zhou Ziwen did not rest. He took his fishing tools to the river and took the time to fish.
There is still some roe deer meat at home, but not much. If we catch some fish in advance, it will last for about ten days.
After this period of time, the autumn harvest will be over, and then there will be some time to prepare meat.
The afternoon passed quickly, and when Zhou Ziwen returned home, the bucket was full of fish again. Zhou Ziwen estimated that including the ones he caught in the morning, there should be about twenty pounds of fish.
After returning home, Zhou Ziwen poured the fish in the bucket into a stone tank, leaving only one silver carp.
In this weather, it is not easy to raise silver carp. They will die while being raised. It is better to eat them in advance.
With the stone vat, Zhou Ziwen no longer had to go to the river to kill fish. He just put a stone slab next to the stone vat and killed the fish on it with a knife.
Fish entrails and scales are collected and fed to the chickens in the backyard.
To his surprise, the old hen that Zhou Qiang caught yesterday was not affected. When he arrived at the chicken coop, he actually found an egg in the nest.
"Great, it actually laid eggs." Zhou Ziwen looked happy, but did not pick up the eggs.
Such a happy thing, of course, has to wait for Yiyi to discover it.
I believe she will be very happy when she finds this egg while feeding the chickens.
Zhou Ziwen even imagined her smiling face.
When he returned to the yard, the Chen sisters had just returned from work.
"Brother Ziwen, what are you doing?" Chen Qiaoyi came over happily.
"Kill a fish and eat fish tonight." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"We have some sauerkraut at home, so let's have sauerkraut fish today!" Chen Shiying said from the side.
"I can do anything."
Zhou Ziwen is not picky about food. As long as the food is delicious, he likes it.
That is to say, my sister-in-law is a good cook, and if the food she makes is not tasty, he will cook it himself.
After bringing the killed fish to the Chen sisters' home, Zhou Ziwen left their house and returned to his own yard.
In the yard, after a day of drying, the tea seeds had dried. Zhou Ziwen checked and found that the shells of the tea seeds had become very brittle and could be broken with just two fingers.
"Let's peel the shell first!"
Zhou Ziwen collected the tea seeds on the ground, sat on the stone table and began to shell them.
He didn't ask anyone for help this time. The autumn harvest would begin tomorrow and everyone had their own things to do.
Not to mention the Chen sisters, they wanted to sew gloves, and Shen Zhaodi was almost the same. Only Zhou Chaoyang was stubborn and insisted that he, a grown man, didn't need gloves.
I believe that after tomorrow, he will regret what he said today.
Zhou Ziwen was shelling tea seeds, while the Chen sisters were busy cooking in the kitchen.
Since we are having fish today, we don’t need to prepare any other dishes. We just need to heat up the steamed buns made from two-grain flour.
The steamed buns at home are usually steamed in the morning and kept for the whole day, so they only need to be heated up at noon and in the evening.
The two sisters were very skillful and prepared the meal quickly.
When Chen Qiaoyi came to Zhou Ziwen's yard and called him to eat, he had not peeled many of the tea seeds yet.
"It smells so good, sister, your cooking skills are really good!"
As soon as he came to the kitchen, Zhou Ziwen started praising.
He smelled the fragrance when he was next door just now.
The fried pickled cabbage and the aroma of fish made him know that it would taste good before he even started eating.
Chen Shiying’s cooking skills were already good, and with Zhou Ziwen’s occasional guidance, her cooking skills improved further.
Of course, for Zhou Ziwen, he doesn’t have to cook himself, and even if his cooking skills are not very good, he will still enjoy the meal.
"Just try to fool me!" Chen Shiying rolled her eyes at him and didn't believe his nonsense at all.
Of course, she was very happy to be praised like this. Look, her steps became much lighter.
Chatting and laughing, dinner time passed quickly.
Zhou Ziwen returned to his yard and continued to shell the tea seeds.
"Brother Ziwen, guess what I found?"
While Zhou Ziwen was busy, Chen Qiaoyi suddenly ran over excitedly.
"Did you pick up money?" Zhou Ziwen deliberately guessed wrong.
"No, guess again." Chen Qiaoyi smiled and shook her head.
"What is that?" Zhou Ziwen frowned, looking like he couldn't guess.
"Ding ding ding, it's an egg." Chen Qiaoyi stretched out her hand with a smile and showed the egg.
"Hey, did our chickens lay eggs?"
Zhou Ziwen stood up in surprise. His acting was absolutely flawless.
"Yes, I didn't expect that the old hen sent by Sister Zhou's family can actually lay eggs." Chen Qiaoyi was also very surprised.
The egg-laying hens are the treasures of the family. She didn't expect that Sister Zhou's family would be so generous as to send all the egg-laying hens.
"Yes, I owe you a huge favor. I'll go see Sister Zhou some other day." Zhou Ziwen said.
In fact, he had another idea, but he had to wait until his medical skills level was higher. It would be useless to say it out now.
"Yes." Chen Qiaoyi nodded heavily.
This would greatly increase her favorability towards Sister Zhou.
The younger sister of the Chen family was very happy after picking up an egg. After staying with Zhou Ziwen for a while, she ran back to her home to show off to Chen Shiying.
"This girl." Zhou Ziwen looked at her jumping away with some doting.
Sitting back on the stone bench, Zhou Ziwen continued to work. When it was almost dark, he tidied up a little, took a shower and went to bed.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Zhou Ziwen woke up to the sound of a gong in the village.
Looking at his watch, he found that the gong sounded half an hour earlier today than before.
After getting up, Zhou Ziwen moved his body a little. The autumn harvest started today, so he needed to conserve his strength.
After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters gathered at the production team together.
On the high platform in the threshing ground, the team leader was boosting everyone's morale.
"Fellow villagers, today is the day of our autumn harvest. Whether we can have a good New Year depends on this autumn harvest."
"I hope everyone will work together, show their spirit of not fearing hardship or fatigue, and take advantage of the good weather these few days to quickly harvest all our grain."
"Everyone must pay attention to their own safety and follow the instructions of their respective captains. Don't act recklessly, and don't be lazy."
"During this important period, if I find out who is slacking off, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
When talking about being lazy, the team leader also glanced towards the Youth League Home.
Some educated youth who usually liked to be lazy lowered their heads guiltily, and those who didn't like to be lazy also looked serious.
They all understood that this was the captain warning them!
"Don't worry, Captain, we won't be lazy. Anyone who is lazy is a grandson."
"Yes, it's the grandson who is lazy."
The villagers in the audience said loudly.
These grains are all theirs and will be harvested soon. Who would be lazy at this time?
Next, the captain began to assign tasks. (End of this chapter)
