There was a reason why Chen Shiying was so generous. This time, they had received quite a lot of food. The three of them together could easily eat it for most of half a year.
This is because I know that Zhou Ziwen has a big appetite, so I calculated some extra food. If it were an ordinary person, it would not be a problem to eat it for a year by saving.
But in addition to the grain distributed by the village, Zhou Ziwen also spent money to buy more, and all the grain he bought was fine grain.
These fine grains alone are enough for Zhou Ziwen to eat for a year.
If you have food at home, you will not be worried.
Chen Shiying has calculated that there is so much food at home that it cannot be eaten up in a year.
With Zhou Ziwen's ability, he will have no shortage of food next year after this year.
So she figured it out. Since Zhou Ziwen could eat, then let him eat. After all, there was plenty of food at home and no shortage of fine grains.
Zhou Ziwen didn't know about his sister-in-law's plan yet, and he was showing off his steamed buns at the moment!
I have to say that this sister-in-law’s cooking skills are really good. The steamed buns she makes are white and big, and have a natural fragrance.
Zhou Ziwen felt that he could be full just by eating steamed buns.
After a hearty meal, Zhou Ziwen returned home and lay on the bed to digest the food.
During the break, Zhou Ziwen called out the auto-switch panel to check the skill progress.
Bajiquan LV7 (575/700)
[Grow Mushroom LV5 (487/500)]
【Medical Skills Level 0 (421/500)】
【Dog Training Level 2 (76/200)】
【Cooking Level 4 (389/400)】
In the idle panel, Bajiquan has the highest skill proficiency, and it can be upgraded by idle for five or six days.
Growing mushrooms is not bad either. After tonight, I can upgrade it when I wake up tomorrow morning.
His medical skills were a little lacking, but it would only take two or three days, and then he would be able to formally master the medical skills.
Symptoms such as minor colds and diarrhea can also be cured.
And my cooking skills will be upgraded to level five after tonight, by tomorrow morning.
With level five cooking skills, he is a well-known chef. It is not a problem for him to make ten dollars each time he hosts a banquet.
Finally he looked at the bamboo weaving skills.
【Bamboo Weaving LV1(73/100)】
Although the level of the bamboo weaving skill is a bit low, it is still usable.
He was going to take some time to make a recliner.
While the weather is good these days, you can put the lounge chair outside in the yard during your lunch break and sleep while basking in the sun.
"Yes, yes, that's a good idea."
Thinking of this, Zhou Ziwen didn't rest anymore. He found an axe and walked towards the bamboo forest in the village.
Compared with the hatchet, he felt that the axe was easier to use.
He was used to using this axe. No matter what he chopped, he felt very powerful with one blow.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen go out, Tayun, who was lying under the eaves, stood up, wagging his tail, and followed him happily.
Zhou Ziwen also took care of it. He had trained the dog thoroughly and it was now capable of contributing to the family.
When passing by the village, the villagers had already eaten and were taking a walk near their homes.
Some of them were chatting with their neighbors about gossip and family matters, and the conversation was lively.
When he saw Zhou Ziwen, he greeted him warmly.
Zhou Ziwen also responded one by one. He admitted that since the village distributed money and the income was higher than in previous years, the villagers' attitude towards him has changed.
Until now, everyone looks at him as a cash cow.
After declining the help of the enthusiastic villagers, Zhou Ziwen came to the bamboo forest in the village. After searching for a while, he found two old bamboos. With two axes, the bamboos fell down.
"Woof woof woof."
Just as Zhou Ziwen was about to carry the bamboo back home, Tayun, who was wandering nearby, suddenly yelled fiercely.
It was barking and chasing at the same time. In front of it, a bamboo rat was fleeing for its life in panic.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Ziwen put down the bamboo in his hand, picked up a stone, and retreated slightly, like a bow with a full string.
“Whoosh!”
With a sharp scream, the fleeing bamboo rats were instantly gathered together.
Ta Yun, who was chasing the bamboo rat, saw the right moment and pounced on it fiercely, pressing it to the ground. No matter how it struggled, it was useless.
After a few months, Tayun is no longer the little puppy it once was. Compared with the bamboo rat, it is more than one size bigger.
There is no problem at all dealing with a captured bamboo rat.
"Tayun, good job." Zhou Ziwen stepped forward to catch the bamboo rat and praised Tayun's bravery.
Wow, even he didn’t expect that Tayun was so powerful.
Strictly speaking, Tayun is only two or three months old, not even a half-grown puppy, at best he can be considered a little half-grown puppy.
It's quite surprising that such a small creature already has basic hunting ability.
"Perhaps, this dog's ancestors have the bloodline of hunting dogs." Looking at Ta Yun who was squatting on the ground, looking at him with his head raised, as if asking for praise, Zhou Ziwen guessed in his heart.
Zhou Ziwen didn't expect that he would get an unexpected reward by cutting bamboo.
When he passed by the village carrying bamboo rats and bamboo, the villagers were all surprised.
"Zhou Zhiqing, what are you holding in your hand?"
"Why do I look like a bamboo rat?"
"What do you mean it looks like that? It's obviously that thing."
"Zhou Zhiqing was lucky. He actually caught a bamboo rat."
…
When Zhou Ziwen heard the villagers' praise, a smile appeared on his face, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
"Haha, it's really lucky. This bamboo rat just appeared and was caught by my dog."
Zhou Ziwen would not embezzle the credit for Tayun. Although he did help a little, he would not have discovered this bamboo rat if it were not for Tayun.
"You're so lucky."
The villagers were very envious of this.
Although bamboo rat has the word "rat" in its name, it is really delicious.
Some villagers who have eaten bamboo rats are drooling.
On the way back home, the Chen sisters heard the noise and came out, and saw the bamboo rat in Zhou Ziwen's hand at a glance.
"Brother Ziwen, what are you holding in your hand?" Chen Qiaoyi opened her eyes wide in surprise.
How come her brother Ziwen got something again in just a short while?
"This is bamboo rat, it's delicious." Zhou Ziwen replied.
"Is this a rat?" Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying shuddered at the same time when they heard the word rat.
"The bamboo rat is an animal of the family Bambusidae. It feeds on bamboo, Miscanthus, and plant stems. It gets its name from the fact that it eats bamboo."
"Bamboo rat is a good thing. It's delicious and nutritious, and much tastier than pork."
Although Zhou Ziwen explained it, the Chen sisters didn't have much feeling about bamboo rats.
The main reason is that they lose their appetite when they hear the word "rat".
"Alas, it seems you won't have a good time." Seeing the attitudes of the two people, Zhou Ziwen sighed.
"Brother Zhou, did you kill the bamboo rat?"
At this time, Zhou Chaoyang from next door heard the noise and came out of the yard.
"Yeah, what? Are you interested in this thing?" Zhou Ziwen raised his eyebrows.
"I'm interested, very interested." Zhou Chaoyang nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, then I'll take care of it first, and we'll eat this tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen invited.
"Hey, okay."
Hearing this, Zhou Chaoyang smiled.
He had eaten bamboo rats before, so he was naturally not confused by its name.
And he knew from the look on Zhou Ziwen's face that he was going to cook for himself!
Apart from anything else, the fact that Zhou Ziwen cooked the meal himself was enough to make it worth his while. (End of this chapter)
