Chapter 187 Foot Bath
Taking care of mushrooms is not hard work. Compared with working in the sorghum field, taking care of mushrooms is almost like taking a rest.
After such a tiring day, there is nothing easier than watering the mushrooms and applying fertilizer.
When it was time to get off work, they had completed today's training work.
After staying in the mushroom house for nearly an hour, everyone's strength recovered a little. Although they were more tired than usual, they felt much more relaxed compared to those who had been harvesting all day.
It’s not true to say that Zhou Ziwen abused his power for personal gain. After all, he was doing his work seriously, the only difference was the process.
While others were harvesting sorghum and soybeans, he was tending to the mushrooms in the mushroom house. They were all contributing to the collective, regardless of their position.
After getting off work and returning home, Zhou Ziwen stayed in the Chen sisters' kitchen to cook. The two sisters were not idle either, and helped out.
One of them was making the fire, and the other was helping Zhou Ziwen.
The three of them stayed in the kitchen chatting and laughing, just like a real family.
It is not tiring to work together as a man and a woman. With Zhou Ziwen joining in, the cooking speed increased immediately.
It felt like it didn't take long before the food was on the table.
Of course, there is also a reason why there is no need to prepare staple food. In the morning, Chen Shiying made enough steamed buns at one time, and they only needed to be heated up at noon and in the evening.
Because of the high physical exertion, both Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters ate a little more than usual at night.
After finishing his meal, Zhou Ziwen stood up from his stool and said, "I'll go and take care of the camellia seeds. I'll leave the rest to you."
"Go ahead, Yiyi, you go and help too." Chen Shiying nodded.
"Okay." Chen Qiaoyi swallowed the last bite of steamed bun and stood up briskly.
"Yiyi, do you want to take a rest?"
After returning home with Yiyi, Zhou Ziwen pinched her ponytail and felt the smoothness of her hair.
This girl is naturally beautiful, and her black hair feels very comfortable to touch.
"No, I'm not tired." Chen Qiaoyi shook her head and smiled like a flower.
"Okay, then help me peel the shells!" Zhou Ziwen nodded slightly, sat on the stone bench, and began to shell the tea seeds with a rolling pin.
Chen Qiaoyi also sat next to him and began to pick out the tea seeds after they had cracked their shells.
The two of them divided the work and cooperated with each other, complementing each other.
Not long after, Chen Shiying, who had cleaned up the dishes, came over to help.
The three of them worked together and their speed increased again. By evening, they had finally processed all the tea seeds.
"You've worked hard, go back and rest!" After cleaning up the battlefield, Zhou Ziwen stretched.
"Brother Ziwen, my legs hurt."
After finishing her work, Chen Qiaoyi sat on a stone bench and rubbed her legs.
"Soak your feet. I'll massage them for you later and make sure you'll be full of energy tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen rubbed her hair and said with some heartache.
As a master of level 7 Bajiquan, being familiar with the acupuncture points of the human body is basic knowledge. After his massage, I only need to sleep at night and I will be back to normal the next day.
"Hehe, thank you Brother Ziwen." Chen Qiaoyi giggled and felt that the pain in her body was not so severe anymore.
Isn't this the reason why I act like a spoiled child to him?
She had close contact with Zhou Ziwen and knew his abilities very well.
Before, whenever she was tired, Zhou Ziwen would give her a massage.
"Sister, are your legs sore? Why don't you let Brother Ziwen give you a massage? He has great skills." Turning around, Chen Qiaoyi suggested to her sister.
"No, I don't need it." Hearing this, Chen Shiying was rarely a little flustered.
She glared at her sister fiercely, blaming her for speaking without restraint.
"Brother Ziwen's massage skills are really good." Chen Qiaoyi felt a little regretful.
Her feet are so painful today, and her sister probably isn’t feeling much better either. She wants Brother Ziwen to give her sister a massage as well!
"Enjoy yourself, I'm going back first." Chen Shiying was too lazy to teach her sister a lesson, so she turned around and left without even saying hello to Zhou Ziwen.
Maybe she felt a little embarrassed because of what I said just now!
"What's wrong with you, sister?" Seeing her sister like this, Chen Qiaoyi was a little confused.
This girl is very smart, but sometimes she is very naive.
"Haha, let's soak our feet quickly!" Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
He actually understood Chen Shiying's feelings.
After all, men and women should not touch each other, and strictly speaking, he and Chen Shiying have no relationship.
The only relationship between them is that he and Chen Qiaoyi are dating. If they get married, they will be relatives.
Perhaps it was because Chen Qiaoyi was too close to him that the girl overlooked this point.
Coming to the kitchen, Zhou Ziwen started to light the fire and boil water.
The big iron pot at home is no longer usable, and we can only use the stew pot next to it to boil water.
He hasn't used this pot much, at most he just boils some water or something, it's very clean.
He used the big iron pot to make mushroom culture medium. Although he washed it clean, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
He plans to buy a pot next time he goes to the county town.
After I marry Chen Qiaoyi, I will inevitably have to cook, so I have to prepare everything at home in advance.
When boiling water, Zhou Ziwen specially added some herbs, which can relax muscles and tendons and eliminate fatigue.
After reading medical books for so long, his half-baked medical skills are still of some use.
Although it cannot be used to treat diseases, it is still okay to use it for foot soaking.
He didn't know how to match herbs together, so he just selected some herbs that had this effect based on the medicinal properties of the herbs.
I don't know how much effect it has, but I think it is effective.
"Yiyi, go get a basin and bring one over to your sister later. Running is good for your health." Zhou Ziwen said to Chen Qiaoyi.
"Okay, I'll get it right away." Chen Qiaoyi agreed and went out to her home.
When Chen Qiaoyi came back with the basin, Zhou Ziwen's foot bath water was also ready.
But there wasn't much water in the pot to begin with, and after giving Chen Shiying a basin, they only had one basin left.
"Come on, Yiyi, let's go bathing together!"
When Chen Qiaoyi came back from next door, Zhou Ziwen waved to her with a smile.
"Shall we take a bath together?" Chen Qiaoyi was a little surprised.
She thought she was the only one there!
"Of course, I want to wash my feet too!" Zhou Ziwen said as a matter of course.
"Oh, okay!" Chen Qiaoyi was a little shy.
She has never soaked her feet with a man before!
"Haha." Zhou Ziwen looked at the girl with amusement.
She has done everything she should and shouldn't do, but this girl is still so shy.
"Come quickly."
After she took off her shoes, Zhou Ziwen began to urge her.
"Ah, it's so hot!"
In order to achieve better results, Zhou Ziwen only added a little cold water to the basin, and the temperature was at least over 80 degrees.
Chen Qiaoyi's fair and tender little feet couldn't bear such a high temperature.
"Take your time." Zhou Ziwen soaked his feet in the water, and even his feet were burned red.
But it's very satisfying to be burned by such high temperature.
