Chapter 272 The Concern of Two Sisters
In Heijiang, it often snows in winter.
It just snowed yesterday, and before the snow had melted, it started snowing again outside.
At the Chen sisters' home, the two sisters are stewing beef.
Chen Shiying's craftsmanship is very good, especially this girl is studious and often asks Zhou Ziwen for advice.
She is the one who cooks most of the meals at home, and her cooking skills have become more and more sophisticated over time.
Although the cow died yesterday and was not bled in time, the color of the meat is not that good.
But after Chen Shiying's processing, the stew still tastes very fragrant.
Chen Qiaoyi surrounded her sister, saying she was helping, but actually she was just joining in the fun.
As the sky was getting darker and snowing outside, even though the aroma from the kitchen was tempting, it couldn't attract her attention.
"Sister, why hasn't Brother Ziwen come back yet? Did something happen to him outside?" Chen Qiaoyi asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, Ziwen is very capable. Maybe something delayed him!"
Although she was comforting her, Chen Shiying was also a little worried, but she did not show it in front of her sister.
The snow outside was gradually falling. Chen Qiaoyi couldn't help but come to the gate of the yard and look towards Niutou Mountain.
After waiting for a while, Chen Shiying couldn't wait any longer and followed her sister out to wait together.
Just as the two girls were looking forward to it, a figure finally appeared in the snow.
"Brother Ziwen."
Chen Qiaoyi couldn't help but shout.
"Hey, I'm back."
The moment Zhou Ziwen's gentle voice sounded, the two sisters finally felt relieved.
"Come on, don't stay outside, go in first."
After entering, Zhou Ziwen invited the two sisters into the house.
Seeing the goat on Zhou Ziwen's shoulders, the two sisters nodded together.
Because it was too dark outside, they didn't know what Zhou Ziwen was carrying, but the two sisters were smart and naturally knew that Zhou Ziwen had made a big gain.
"Brother Ziwen, what is this? A goat?"
After entering the house, the two sisters finally saw clearly what Zhou Ziwen was carrying.
"Well, it's because of this goat that I came back so late." Zhou Ziwen explained.
"Ziwen, you did the right thing. Don't show off your wealth. It's best not to let others see this kind of thing." Chen Shiying nodded in agreement.
Although Chen Shiying was born only a few minutes earlier than Chen Qiaoyi, her mental age is much older, so she naturally understands that human jealousy is uncontrollable.
If someone discovers this goat, the situation will be difficult to deal with.
Zhou Ziwen is powerful, but people's gossip is scary. Even if he can save the goat, he can't stop people from gossiping.
Rather than causing envy, it is better not to let anyone know from the beginning.
"Brother Ziwen, are you hungry? We have stewed beef at home, and it's still hot!"
Chen Qiaoyi asked with concern.
"I'm a little hungry. Have you eaten?" Zhou Ziwen nodded and asked.
"I haven't eaten yet!" said Chen Qiaoyi.
"Hurry up and eat first." Zhou Ziwen urged.
At Zhou Ziwen's urging, the food was quickly served.
Fortunately, the food is ready, just waiting for Zhou Ziwen to come back and eat!
While eating, Zhou Ziwen briefly talked about the process of hunting wild goats.
Although Zhou Ziwen's story was quite plain, the two sisters could imagine how heroic Zhou Ziwen was when he hunted wild goats.
In their minds, Zhou Ziwen was like a patient hunter. When he approached the goat, he was like a peerless master in a martial arts novel, who killed the goat with ease.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen didn’t know what the two sisters were thinking. If he knew, he would probably be proud of it for a while.
Because there was still a wild goat to deal with, Zhou Ziwen hurriedly finished his dinner and had no time to rest. He started to deal with it in the kitchen shortly after the wild goat was killed by him.
If it is handled too late, just like the cows that froze to death in Xiaobazi Village, not only will the color of the meat become ugly, but even the taste will be affected.
As a skilled chef, Zhou Ziwen is very knowledgeable about this aspect.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Ziwen did not delay. In less than half an hour, he skinned the goat, took out its internal organs, and put them in different categories.
Fortunately, although it was dark outside, it was still early.
It was just after seven o'clock when he finished dealing with the goat.
"Sister, please boil some water for me! I want to take a bath."
Seeing that Chen Shiying had finished her work, Zhou Ziwen spoke.
In the afternoon, in order to catch goats, he smeared a lot of herbs on his body, and then crawled on the ground for so long that if it wasn't so dark, he wouldn't be able to see anyone.
"Then I'll add fuel to the fire."
Chen Shiying also noticed Zhou Ziwen's dirty clothes and looked like she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Zhou Ziwen really looks so funny now, just like a naughty kid rolling in the mud, covered in dirt.
While she found it funny, she also felt a little distressed. It was all because of them that Zhou Ziwen became like this!
"By the way, Ziwen, the beef bones in the pot have already produced oil. What should I do with them?"
Chen Shiying asked as she lit the fire.
"Let's beat the oil first. It's too late today. Let's continue boiling it tomorrow."
As Zhou Ziwen spoke, he opened the stew pot next to the big iron pot.
As soon as he opened it, he saw the boiling bone soup. After most of the day's boiling, the bone soup had turned into a beautiful milky white color.
On the surface of the boiling bone soup, a thick layer of oil floats on it, rising and falling with the bone soup.
This layer of oil must weigh at least several kilograms.
This oil alone is enough for Zhou Ziwen to make back his investment.
"Ziwen, let me do it. You go and rest first. I'll call you when the water is ready."
Seeing Zhou Ziwen grabbing the spoon and preparing to beat the butter, Chen Shiying hurriedly stopped him.
Zhou Ziwen has been tired outside all day, so he can't be asked to work anymore.
If he were to do everything, wouldn't it make the two sisters seem useless?
Although Zhou Ziwen doesn't care, she does.
As for household matters, as long as they are things that women can do, the two sisters basically won't let Zhou Ziwen get involved.
"Okay! Then I'll go out first." Zhou Ziwen didn't care. He patted his butt and went to the living room to wait.
It’s good to have a woman at home, so you don’t have to worry about housework.
If you have two women, it is a blessing that you have accumulated for eight lifetimes.
Zhou Ziwen felt that having these two women in his life was enough.
Although he had only dealt with one, he was unwilling to let the other one get away no matter what.
Who made these two sisters look exactly the same? The thought of a woman who looked exactly like his wife lying in the arms of another man made him feel sick.
This kind of thing must never be allowed to happen.
After taking a leisurely rest in the living room for a while, Chen Shiying's water was also boiled.
Zhou Ziwen carried water to the toilet outside his yard.
Men can take a shower very quickly and use very little water. They don't need to use several buckets of water like women do.
