Back home, Zhou Ziwen cooked with the Chen sisters.
Because going to the production team took some time, if Zhou Ziwen didn't help, he would definitely not be able to handle the lunch.
With Zhou Ziwen's help, the meal was ready quickly.
After dinner, before going to work, the two sisters rested at home for a while.
When the announcement for work started, the Chen sisters, who had just fallen asleep, got up from the kang and went to work in the mushroom house.
Seeing that they were all up, Zhou Ziwen was too lazy to continue resting. He packed up a little and set off with them.
But he was going to the production team. The bear had just died not long ago and the meat was still very fresh. He would go there to process the meat so that it could be cooked in the afternoon.
Bear meat has a stronger smell and is firmer in texture, so it takes a longer time to process.
Especially the smell of mutton. If it is not marinated in advance, the taste will not be so good.
Rare game like this, if prepared properly, can taste very delicious.
It is said that bear meat tastes similar to beef, but Zhou Ziwen has never eaten it, so he doesn't know if it's true.
When he arrived at the production team, Wu Dagang had already arranged for people to put the brown bear away.
When Zhou Ziwen arrived at the office, there were a few middle-aged women inside.
"Xiao Zhou, I've found a few people to help you. If you need anything, you can tell me."
When he saw Zhou Ziwen, the captain spoke first.
"Okay, I remember our production team still has some radishes, right? Let's make bear meat stewed with radishes today, and we'll also need some side dishes."
Zhou Ziwen nodded and said.
"No problem, you can ask Lao Zhu for anything you need. Today's meal depends on you." The captain said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhou. I guarantee that everything will be done properly." Zhou Ziwen looked confident.
After chatting with the team leader for a few words, Zhou Ziwen started to get busy with a few aunts.
He was busy skinning the bear and dividing the meat, while several aunts were busy preparing the dishes.
Preparing food for thousands of people is a big challenge for them.
Although today's main dish is bear meat, we can't just eat meat!
Fortunately, the production team had stored a lot of vegetables, so we took this opportunity to take them out and share them with everyone.
Zhou Ziwen was very fast and peeled off the bear skin in no time.
Afterwards, he collected the bear's bile, bones, paws and other good things, and also kept about 100 kilograms of meat.
After collecting these, he carried them back home.
Some of these things can be kept as medicine, while others are kept for personal consumption.
Although he was going to treat the villagers to meat, he would definitely keep some for himself.
He planned to keep good things like bear paws for himself.
When Zhou Ziwen took the meat back, he didn't do it behind anyone's back.
He killed the bear, so no one would say anything if he kept some of the meat for himself.
When he got home, he put the meat away, especially the bear bile, which took him some time to process.
After finishing all these, he returned to the production team and pickled the divided meat one by one.
The bear was indeed quite heavy. Before skinning it, he weighed it and it was over 600 kilograms.
After processing the internal organs, the net weight is about 500 kilograms.
There is so much meat, enough for a big meal for the whole village of Dabazi.
Originally, Zhou Ziwen was planning to leave some meat for Wu Dagang and the team leader, but they refused.
According to them, it was great to be able to have a meal with everyone.
If they eat and take at the same time, they will make a mistake.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziwen did not force it.
Anyway, Wu Dagang and the team leader have enough meat to eat.
This meal of bear meat is just for the sake of trying something new.
After marinating the bear meat, Zhou Ziwen had nothing to do.
There were a few aunties preparing the side dishes, and he only had to wait until the bear meat was marinated before he could start.
While it was still early, Zhou Ziwen went to the production team office to chat with Wu Dagang and the team leader and take a break.
After several months of getting along, he and Wu Dagang and the others have become very familiar with each other.
Wu Dagang and the team leader both treated him as a junior and took great care of him.
Of course, the fact that he receives so much care is inseparable from his own excellence.
Until now, they wish Zhou Ziwen would stay in the countryside for the rest of his life, contribute to the development of Dabazi Village, and never go back.
Of course, they also know that this idea is a bit far-fetched.
With Zhou Ziwen's ability, it is only a matter of time before he goes back.
Even if there is no chance to return to the city now, there will always be an opportunity in the future.
Their Dabazi Village could not keep Zhou Ziwen.
That's why they planned to learn as much of Zhou Ziwen's skills as possible during the time he stayed in the village.
Apart from anything else, at least you have to learn the technology of growing mushrooms.
After all, if Zhou Ziwen leaves, no one will grow mushrooms in the future.
They are reluctant to cancel such a profitable project.
Zhou Ziwen was also well aware of this.
When teaching other members of the Mushroom Group, he did not keep anything for himself, but instead taught them very attentively.
Of course, things like special treatment are only enjoyed by the Chen sisters.
Wu Dagang and the others didn’t know when he would be able to return to the city, but he knew!
As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to return to the city by taking the college entrance examination in four or five years.
Of course, if there is a suitable opportunity, it is possible to go back early.
After the rest was almost over, Zhou Ziwen started to get busy.
With the help of Wu Dagang, we found a few large iron pots.
Zhou Ziwen washed the meat that had been marinated before and then began to rinse it.
After finishing the preparation work, he started to stir-fry the base ingredients.
The key to a delicious stewed meat is seasoning.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen had plenty of seasonings, and in just a short while, an enticing aroma wafted through the threshing ground outside the production team.
Wu Dagang and the team leader, who were busy in the office, couldn't stand the smell and lost their focus on work.
"This Xiao Zhou is really good at cooking. No wonder everyone likes to find him when they hold a banquet." The captain sighed.
"This kid is capable and can accomplish anything he does." Wu Dagang also sighed.
"This is a good thing. If it weren't for him, our village wouldn't be so prosperous."
Wu Dagang and the team leader sighed one after another, but after a while, they could no longer bear the fragrance coming from outside, and they all got up and went outside, not knowing whether they wanted to smell more or what.
"Uncle Wu, Uncle Zhou, how is it? It smells good, right?"
Seeing them, Zhou Ziwen asked proudly.
"Not bad. With your skills, it would be a shame if you didn't become a chef." The captain commented.
"I do want to, but I just don't have the opportunity." Zhou Ziwen answered casually.
Being a chef or something like that is not what he pursues.
It’s okay to do it occasionally, but if you treat cooking as a job, it will be boring.
“What a pity.”
Hearing this, the captain shook his head regretfully. (End of this chapter)
