Not long after, it was time to get off work.
When the Chen sisters came back, Zhou Ziwen felt much more relaxed.
"Ziwen, we're watching over here, go outside and greet the guests!"
Chen Shiying said sympathetically.
"Okay, this dish is almost done."
Zhou Ziwen said as he was cooking.
He is frying snails now.
This dish is suitable for drinking. You can drink and chat while eating, and it won’t be boring.
Talking about things over a meal is also a tradition.
When you have a good drink, it is easy to talk about anything.
Soon, the stir-fried snails with sauce were ready, and they were delicious.
"Dear leaders, the food will be ready in a while. Let's try this fried snails with sauce to kill time."
Zhou Ziwen was holding a large plate filled with snails that were all sticking out.
"Wow, this snail is quite fat!"
Tang Youfu said respectfully.
"Come on, come on, everyone, don't be shy, come and have a taste. Wow, it smells so good!"
Wu Dagang greeted them.
"I have to taste it."
President Fu smiled brightly.
"Mm, this taste is indeed authentic."
President Fu picked up one with chopsticks, put it in his mouth skillfully, and sucked the snail meat into his mouth.
"Boss, try my wine. It's really good. I won't give it to anyone other than an honored guest."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and poured him a bowl of wine, then filled the glasses for everyone else.
"Oh? You're quite well prepared!"
President Fu smiled and pointed at Zhou Ziwen.
"Haha, I don't have much else at home, but I do have some wine."
Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
In this era, there are not many entertainment activities, and everyone generally likes to have a drink.
Zhou Ziwen also consciously stored some wine at home.
Firstly, he usually likes to have a drink, and secondly, it is for the current situation.
After all, the transportation here is not very convenient, and you have to go to the county town if you want to buy things.
He bought a lot of it before to make wine.
Of course, the wine he bought was not good wine, but cheap bulk wine, which did not require a ticket.
What is expensive is the material he uses to make wine.
These medicinal herbs are the most valuable.
But he dug these things up in the mountains and didn't spend any money.
"I'd like to offer a toast to everyone. I thank the leaders for coming to our production team to provide guidance. I also welcome the brothers in the production team to visit and learn..."
Wu Dagang picked up the wine glass and greeted everyone like a host.
He was the oldest among those present.
In addition, he is the secretary of Dabazi Village, so it is reasonable for him to take charge.
"You're welcome. Let's learn from each other."
"Old Wu, we've been friends for a long time, so I'll toast you a glass."
"Thank you, Comrade Ziwen, for your hospitality."
…
Everyone raised their glasses and exchanged pleasantries.
But when they drank Zhou Ziwen's wine, the expressions on their faces changed.
This is it, with a lingering aftertaste, melting in the mouth, just like nectar.
I didn't feel anything when I first drank it.
But in an instant, a warm current spread from the stomach and filled the whole body.
It was like drinking a tonic medicine, and the whole person became excited.
"This wine is great!"
Commune Secretary Chen Guodong cheered loudly.
He has no other hobbies except dogs and wine.
Today, both of my hobbies were satisfied here at Zhou Ziwen's place.
Especially the wine, this wine is really delicious.
"Is this a medicinal wine? It has such strong medicinal properties."
President Fu also spoke.
"It's a medicinal wine, made with herbs from the mountains. Drinking it is very good for your health. President, leaders, please drink more."
Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Ziwen is our village's health worker. He digs the medicine he uses in the mountains."
Wu Dagang couldn't help but start showing off again.
There is actually a reason why I can't help showing off every time.
Before Zhou Ziwen came, Dabazi Village had no achievements to show for itself.
Although the situation has improved a lot over the years thanks to their hard work, it is still a little worse than those wealthy villages.
For example, Sha Tin Village and Sanjiao Wan.
The land in Shatin Village is very suitable for growing crab apples, commonly known as small apples, and its scientific name is crabapple.
Dabazi Village also has sand apples, but they are very rare, unlike Shatian Village, which got its start with them.
There is also a profitable industry in Sanjiao Bay. There are many mulberry trees on their land, and over time they have become a large silkworm breeder.
Every year, I can make a lot of money just by selling silkworm pupae.
Now Dabazi Village has its own industry, and has even surpassed Shatin Village and Sanjiaowan Village to become stronger.
Wu Dagang felt very frustrated because he couldn't achieve any results.
Look, now whenever he achieves something, he can’t help but show off.
"Yes, Brother Ziwen is a very good doctor. Everyone in our village comes to him for treatment."
Niu Jiefang from Niushan Village spoke up in agreement.
"Is Zhou Zhiqing's medical skills very good? What a pity, I didn't see it the last time I came here."
Li Fugui from Xiaobazi Village looked regretful.
"Hey, Captain Li, there's something I forgot to mention."
Seeing Li Fugui, Zhou Ziwen suddenly slapped his forehead and spoke with some regret.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Zhou Ziwen's excitement, everyone immediately looked over.
"Captain Li brought a few people here this morning to learn how to grow mushrooms!"
Zhou Ziwen spoke.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Li Fugui was a little puzzled.
"Yes, they are here to study, so I will let them get familiar with the environment in the mushroom house first."
"But they insisted that I teach them myself. If I don't, it would be like I'm looking down on them."
"I explained that I'm usually busy and not in the Mushroom Room most of the time, so it's the same if someone else teaches me. It's just about getting familiar with the process, and with the hands-on guidance of an experienced member, I can learn faster."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding.
They also have a better understanding of Zhou Ziwen's identity.
I won’t talk about the health workers’ job, as it’s part farming and part working.
Whenever someone is sick, it has to be dealt with.
Matters involving human lives cannot be delayed.
Moreover, Zhou Ziwen is now also responsible for the construction of the mushroom cultivation base.
Building something from scratch requires more work and requires people.
Busy for sure.
"But they wouldn't listen. They insisted that I was neglecting them and looking down on them."
Zhou Ziwen spread his hands innocently.
"What happened later?" Li Fugui asked hurriedly.
"Later, they left in a huff. Besides the leader, two others followed."
Zhou Ziwen spoke.
"Ah? How can they leave?"
Upon hearing this, Li Fugui could not stay any longer.
"No, I'm going to go find them."
"stop."
The captain slammed the table.
"That's outrageous! How can such an unorganized and undisciplined group of people be qualified to learn our technology? Li Fugui, let me tell you, we can't teach your people."
"Yeah, we taught you the skills with good intentions, but now it's our fault. Good intentions don't go unrewarded!"
Wu Dagang sighed sarcastically, then turned to look at President Fu.
"Boss, it's not that we don't teach, it's that people don't want to learn." (End of this chapter)
