Chapter 17 Cooking
"You city people have weird ideas." Wu Dagang shook his head and didn't believe that eel could be delicious.
"Haha, just wait and see!" Zhou Ziwen's face was full of confidence.
In order to save face, he decided to cook himself and let Uncle Wu taste the delicious eel.
Of course, before that, he also needs to improve his cooking skills.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ziwen had an idea and moved the Bajiquan that was being idle from the idle panel, then called up the cooking skills in his mind and started to use the idle panel to idle.
Because there is only one idle position for now, if you can idle cooking, you can't idle Bajiquan.
However, the fourth level Bajiquan is enough for him for the time being.
What's more, according to his mysterious perception, he knew that the second idle position would be completed soon.
Once you have a second idle position, it won’t be too late to idle Bajiquan.
【Cooking Level 3 (299/300)】
After hanging up, he found that his cooking skills had reached level three and he was only one step away from upgrading.
This third-level cooking skill was entirely acquired through his own hard work in his previous life.
Due to lack of talent, his cooking skills were stuck at level three and he never made a breakthrough in his life.
But now, the AFK panel allows him to ignore the talent bottleneck and break through by just AFK.
Just this point gives him unlimited possibilities.
When moving Bajiquan out of the idle position, Zhou Ziwen also took a look at the skill proficiency.
【Bajiquan LV4 (3/400)】
"Come on, Erzhuzi, share these candies among you!"
The skill of switching between idle positions is just a matter of thought, and it does not delay him from doing his work.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou."
Several children hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
"It's okay. It's getting dark now. You should go home quickly, otherwise you will be punished later." Zhou Ziwen rubbed Erzhuzi's head and said with a smile.
"Hey, it's just a beating. I'm Erzhuzi, what am I afraid of!" Erzhuzi raised his head with a look of disdain.
However, although he was tough in words, he was not slow in action. He distributed the candies on the spot and then ran home as fast as he could, fearing that he would be beaten if he was too slow.
"Haha, this little guy." Erzhuzi's anxious look made him laugh.
"Xiao Zhou, it's time to eat."
At this time, Aunt Chen's voice came from the room.
"Hey, I'll be right there."
…
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen found a bucket to put the eels in and covered it with a lid.
There are many cats in the countryside. If you don't keep them properly, they will come when they smell the fishy smell.
The freshly caught eels need to be kept for two days first. By the time the roof beams are put up, they will be ready to eat.
"Brother Zhou, let's go look at the house!"
As soon as she finished clearing the table, Chen Qiaoyi couldn't wait to speak.
"Okay, let's go!"
Zhou Ziwen nodded and walked towards the Youth League Home with the Chen sisters.
In fact, he would take a look at the progress of the house when he went to the river to take a bath these days.
So far, the main body of the house has been built. After the bricks are dried in two days, the beams can be put up.
"Hey, is this what the house will look like after it's built? So beautiful."
A few minutes later, the three arrived at their destination.
As soon as the Chen sisters saw the house, they fell in love with it.
Zhou Ziwen was also very satisfied.
This house was built according to his original idea.
There is a yard as soon as you enter the door. The yard is quite spacious. After you move in, you can cultivate some space to grow vegetables.
You don't need to plant a lot, just enough to meet your daily needs.
There is a small toilet in the corner of the yard, and there are three rooms in the house, which he has already planned.
The largest room outside is the living room, the smaller one inside is the kitchen, and the larger one is the bedroom.
The stove in the kitchen and the kang in the bedroom have been built. After moving in, we can move in directly after a little arrangement.
Because it was an adobe house, the walls of the house were not very beautiful. Zhou Ziwen had already made up his mind that when he had time, he would get some wood and pave the house.
Not only the walls, but also the floor needs to be covered with a layer.
The floor of this house is now made of mud. It’s okay on sunny days, but if it rains, people coming in from outside will easily get the floor wet.
Although most of the ground in the countryside is made of mud in this era, he still hopes that his living environment will be better.
"The house is almost completed. Can we move in soon?" Chen Qiaoyi asked in surprise.
"Yes, we can move in after the beams are put up the day after tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
He had asked Uncle Wu while they were having dinner just now, and he said that the day after tomorrow was a good day, so they chose that day to raise the beam.
Of course, this cannot be said explicitly. It just happened to be a coincidence that the beams were being put up that day.
In the countryside, there are also some rules for raising the beam.
Generally speaking, the day for raising the beam will be chosen on a day containing six or nine in the lunar calendar.
The time for raising the beam is also chosen to be close to noon.
Because the ancients believed that the sixth and ninth days could avoid evil spirits such as Tai Sui, and were auspicious days; and when it was almost noon, the yang energy was at its peak and the yin energy was gone, which was an auspicious time, so such a day and time should be chosen to "raise the beam".
However, because this is a feudal superstition, this practice is not allowed openly.
Even though many places still maintain this custom, they can only do it secretly.
After wandering around the new house for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Ziwen took the Chen sisters back home.
He hadn't taken a bath tonight, so he planned to go to the river to take a bath before it got completely dark.
Speaking of taking a bath in the river, Chen Qiaoyi has a lot of resentment.
After all, it was such a hot day, and they were dirty after working in the fields.
But they can't go to the river to bathe like him. What if they are accidentally seen by someone? Would they still be able to live as human beings?
But they are also people who love cleanliness. No matter how inconvenient it is, they will boil a pot of water every day and wipe the house themselves.
The new house was not far from Uncle Wu's home, so they returned quickly.
Zhou Ziwen took a towel and soap and walked all the way to the river. He took off his clothes, leaving only his underpants, and quickly went into the water, soaking in the cool river water.
"Hey, my cooking skills have been upgraded."
Suddenly, Zhou Ziwen's expression was shocked, and many insights about cooking emerged silently in his mind.
His cooking skills were already pretty good, and with these insights, he believed that he would have no problem working as a chef in a restaurant.
Because of the knowledge he gained from his previous life, he knows how to cook many dishes, including specialties from all over the world.
After all, his previous life was an information society, and he had seen many recipes of dishes, whether through videos or websites.
I just read it and quickly forgot about it.
With the help of the auto-switch panel, the knowledge that was originally hidden deep in his brain suddenly emerged and was absorbed and digested by him.
Although he has never cooked these dishes himself, he believes that his cooking is no worse than that of professional chefs.
