255. Chapter 255 Trap



Zhou Ziwen stayed in the quarry all afternoon.

Zhou Ziwen was very skillful and mined the required stones in just two hours.

The next step is carving and polishing.

Zhou Ziwen has relatively high requirements for stone slabs, at least the side exposed to the outside must be basically smooth.

Only when it is polished smooth can it be easy to clean, and it will also be convenient to dry things outside later.

If it gets dirty, just rinse it with water and you're done.

His stonemasonry skills have reached level three, close to level four. Although his craftsmanship level is still some distance away from Master Chen's, it is not much different from those stonemasons who have been apprentices for several years.

For ordinary people, such skills are already very impressive. No matter where you go, people will call you master.

This kind of craftsmanship, when used to make flooring, can only be described as overkill.

After half a day, Zhou Ziwen had completed half of the work and estimated that he would be able to finish it in another half a day.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Ziwen packed up and went home.

As soon as he returned to the yard, he saw his wife collecting dried sweet potatoes.

It seems that these two sisters have not been idle during the half day he went to the quarry!

"We made so many dried sweet potatoes! Can we finish them?" Zhou Ziwen asked.

"Yeah, I like eating dried sweet potatoes. I can definitely finish them." Chen Qiaoyi nodded quickly.

"Okay, if you like it, make more. We have plenty of sweet potatoes at home." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

"That's enough. There are so many dried sweet potatoes. You can put some in the porridge when you cook it later." Chen Qiaoyi explained.

"Just follow the arrangements."

Zhou Ziwen never cared about trivial matters like this, and it was always the two sisters who distributed them.

"Brother Ziwen, are you tired? Wash your face first. I'll go get some water."

It’s different for a man with a wife. When he goes home, there is someone to care for him, someone to rub his shoulders when he is tired, and someone to cook for him when he is hungry. He just needs to rest in the yard.

After washing his face, Zhou Ziwen walked to the next yard.

At this moment, potato vermicelli was still drying in Chen Shiying's yard. Zhou Ziwen touched it and found that it was almost dried. It was estimated that it could be harvested after drying for another day tomorrow.

"Ziwen, are these vermicelli noodles ready to eat? Do you want to try them tonight?"

Chen Shiying, who was preparing to cook, came out of the kitchen and saw Zhou Ziwen checking the potato vermicelli, so she asked casually.

"You can eat it. It's even better now. You don't even need to soak it. Just put it in the pot directly."

"How about making some hot and sour potato noodles? This is delicious."

Zhou Ziwen nodded and made a suggestion.

"Okay." Chen Shiying agreed and took a handful of potato vermicelli.

She knows how to make hot and sour noodles without Zhou Ziwen’s instruction.

After Chen Shiying went back to the kitchen to cook, Zhou Ziwen returned to his yard and lay on the recliner to rest leisurely.

"Brother Ziwen, tea is here!"

While Zhou Ziwen was taking a break, Chen Qiaoyi came over with a cup of tea.

"Thanks."

Zhou Ziwen found that after marrying this girl, he was treated better.

Now, you don’t even have to make tea yourself.

Lying on the chair, Zhou Ziwen opened the auto-play panel and started looking at it.

Bajiquan LV7 (698/700)

[Grow Mushroom Level 6 (111/600)]

【Medical Skills Level 1 (29/1000)】

Dog Training Level 2 (122/200)

【Trap Making LV1 (1/100)】

【Cooking Level 5 (2/500)】

In the panel, Bajiquan only needs two points of proficiency to be upgraded.

Trap making has also officially started, reaching level one.

After getting started, he was able to make some smaller traps.

If you are lucky, you might be able to catch a rabbit or a pheasant.

"Let's go up the mountain and try after dinner."

The new skill upgrade makes Zhou Ziwen eager to try it out.

Although he had just killed two wild boars, the banquet had almost finished the meal and he didn't leave much for himself.

In order to avoid sitting on the mountain and eating up all the food, he felt it necessary to catch more prey.

Especially now that he has learned how to make traps, he only needs to go to the mountains to set up a few fixed traps, and then go up and observe them every day.

If you are lucky, you will encounter prey.

When your trap making skill level is higher in the future, there will be a greater chance of harvesting prey.

His requirements were not high; he just wanted to catch a wild rabbit every now and then.

It didn't take long before Chen Qiaoyi came to call him for dinner.

While eating, everyone shared the letters they received today.

The letters they received all mentioned the marriage of Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi.

He also read the letter that Chen Qiaoyi received. It contained nothing but some instructions, asking Chen Qiaoyi to take good care of her man in the future and not to be petty.

Except for the father-in-law who was a little indignant, everyone else was quite supportive of them.

"Brother Ziwen, didn't you say earlier that you wanted to take pictures? My mother wrote to me and said she wanted to see what you look like." Chen Qiaoyi said while eating.

"Okay, let's go tomorrow. Everyone should write the letters they want to reply tonight and go into the city early tomorrow morning." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

He actually wanted his family to see what Chen Qiaoyi looked like, and of course, he wanted to show off.

After marrying such a beautiful wife, shouldn’t you show off?

"My sister and I have finished writing, the only thing left is yours." Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.

"Then I'll write it in the evening." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

After dinner, Zhou Ziwen took an axe and a shovel, some wire and rope, and set out from home with Tayun.

It was not yet dark outside, and he was going to set some traps on the mountain.

After running all the way, Zhou Ziwen soon reached the top of Niutou Mountain, but this position was not enough. He continued to go down until he came to the valley where he encountered the wild boar.

But now the wild boars are gone. They are probably scared by what happened last time and have no intention of coming back.

Zhou Ziwen looked at the ditch in the middle of the valley and felt that this was a perfect place to set a trap.

Generally speaking, where there is water, there will most likely be animals, after all, animals also need to drink water.

Moreover, this place is very far away from the village, and generally no one would come here. He set up traps without worrying about being destroyed or hurt.

Of course, when setting the trap, you have to mark it well so that if someone comes, you can tell them that there is a trap.

After choosing a few better locations on the spot, Zhou Ziwen started digging with a shovel.

While he was digging the trap, Ta Yun couldn't sit still and wandered around, apparently trying to mark his territory.

Seeing that it didn't go far, Zhou Ziwen didn't pay much attention to it and continued to dig his trap.

Zhou Ziwen was very fast. In less than half an hour, he had set up three traps.

The three traps are all near the valley, and whether he can catch prey depends on his luck.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Zhou Ziwen packed up his things and called Tayun to leave together.

He continued his journey quickly, and by the time he returned home, it was already dark outside. (End of this chapter)
