Chapter 292: The Cloud-Taking Bully
“It smells so good!”
“It’s delicious. Really delicious.”
"Zhou Zhiqing is really talented! This roast chicken is the best thing I've ever eaten."
After the roast chicken was ready, Zhou Ziwen personally distributed it equally to everyone.
Zhou Ziwen also received food from others.
Their food was definitely not as good as Zhou Ziwen's. It was basically steamed buns made of coarse grains. Two of the team members even brought steamed bread made of sweet potatoes.
Everyone was amazed by the roast chicken made by Zhou Ziwen.
They feel that they have wasted the first half of their lives and don’t even know what truly delicious food is.
"That's an exaggeration, an exaggeration." Zhou Ziwen was very humble.
Family members know their own business. His cooking skills are only level five, which is acceptable in the countryside or counties, but not so good if he goes to some big cities.
"No, it's not an exaggeration at all. Your cooking skills are the same no matter where you are." Liu Si gave a thumbs up.
In Zhou Ziwen's eyes, although his cooking skills are good, they are not so exaggerated.
But that was not the case in the eyes of Liu Si and the others.
These people basically stay in the countryside all their lives and rarely even go to the county town. The food they have eaten in their lives is just so-so.
Under the leadership of the team leader, everyone's living standards have improved in recent years.
If it were a few years ago, people would be happy just to fill their stomachs and would not care about whether the food tasted good or not.
Isn't it amazing to taste Zhou Ziwen's cooking mixed with the cooking techniques of later generations?
"Zhou Zhiqing..."
On the side, Zhang Yang from the guard team seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ziwen looked at him curiously.
"Well, my brother is getting married in a few days, and I'd like you to help prepare two tables."
At the beginning, Zhang Yang was a little embarrassed, but after the beginning, the rest of the conversation became smooth.
"Don't worry, Zhou Zhiqing, your help won't be in vain."
Finally, Zhang Yang added, "In this era, people don't talk about money. If you use money to buy things, you have to ask for exchange. Otherwise, you will be labeled as a speculator and it will be troublesome."
"No problem. Call me when the banquet is about to start." Zhou Ziwen nodded readily.
It was very easy for him to host a banquet. He even had time to cook for his own wedding, let alone one for others.
Getting married is a great joyous event, and it’s a good opportunity to share in the good fortune.
"Thank you, Zhou Zhiqing." Zhang Yang thanked him gratefully.
"You kid, you really know how to take advantage. Brother Ziwen is willing to help, so you have to give him a big red envelope!" Liu Si scolded with a smile.
The people who went up the mountain with him this time were all his brothers. Although they were scolding him, it was also a reminder.
After all, Zhou Ziwen is not a professional chef, and his willingness to help is purely out of kindness.
What's more, he is an educated youth from the city and doesn't need that little money at all.
"Yes, I will definitely not let Zhou Zhiqing down." Zhang Yang nodded in agreement hurriedly, but he silently decided in his heart to increase the amount he had decided on to a higher level.
Zhou Ziwen is the leader of the Mushroom Group, and his status is equivalent to that of the team leader. In terms of identity, as a member of the guard team, he can also have a say in front of the team leader.
As a member of the guard team, he has a higher status. After all, he carries a gun, which is different from ordinary villagers.
But Zhou Ziwen is no ordinary team leader. This year's batch of mushrooms alone has benefited the entire village.
This is because the time this year is too short. If a few more batches are produced next year, Zhou Ziwen's status will be further improved.
These country folk work hard all year round just to have something to eat.
Zhou Ziwen can help the village make money, so he is the benefactor of their village.
Just look at Liu Si's attitude and you will know. Not to mention the members of the guard team, even the deputy captain has to greet him with a smile.
"It's okay. We are all brothers from the same village. It's just cooking a meal. It's not a big deal." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.
It is easy to be kind when you take something from someone, and it is unacceptable when you eat something from someone. After eating Zhou Ziwen's roast chicken, the guards' attitude towards him also changed.
Vaguely, it was more passionate than before.
Zhou Ziwen was also happy about this. In the village, the guard team had a high status, and he also wanted to establish good relationships with these people.
You know, it's not easy to become a member of the guard team. Either you have a certain status in the village, or you have your own abilities.
But no matter which one, it's better than the average person.
These people themselves form a high-quality network of relationships.
After lunch, everyone continued on their journey.
Zhou Ziwen also stepped into Sandao Mountain for the first time.
When he first arrived at Sandao Mountain, Zhou Ziwen thought it was a primeval forest.
All that meets the eye are tall trees. Under the trunks, some grass and vines are tenaciously alive, but there are more dead branches and leaves.
When you step on it, it makes a crackling sound.
It is obviously impossible to compete with these big trees for nutrients. There are not even any weeds around many of the big trees.
It is winter now and many weeds have dried up.
However, compared to Erdao Mountain, the road here is much easier to walk on.
"Woo woo."
Just as Zhou Ziwen was looking around, Tayun beside him suddenly rushed out.
Although its legs are short, it runs quite fast and can run more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziwen picked up his axe and chased after him without thinking.
He was also very fast, even running faster than stepping on the clouds, and caught up in the blink of an eye.
"Tayun has found its prey."
Behind him, Zhou Chaoyang shouted excitedly and followed after him.
"Follow us." Liu Si waved to the team members and followed first.
…
At the front, Zhou Ziwen followed Tayun and ran quickly, and soon reached the destination.
When they arrived, they saw a rabbit panicking and diving into the hole.
"Tayun, good job."
Seeing this, Zhou Ziwen was not disappointed and stopped to give a compliment.
As long as you find the rabbit hole, the rest is easy and you can smoke it out.
"Brother Zhou, what's going on?"
At this time, Zhou Chaoyang, Liu Si and others also caught up.
"Hey, a rabbit just ran into the hole." Zhou Ziwen pointed to the hole not far away.
Next to the cave entrance, Tayun was digging a hole, but unfortunately, it was bigger than the rabbit and could not fit into such a small hole.
This guy is also a bully who only dares to hide behind Zhou Ziwen when encountering prey bigger than him. He will only become extremely ferocious when encountering prey smaller than him.
"Great! Let's find other holes and smoke it out." Liu Si praised and gave orders quickly.
The members of the escort team are also experienced and naturally know what to do.
They dispersed one by one and soon found several other cave entrances.
"Let's smoke this. This place is relatively low."
Zhou Ziwen came to a cave entrance and spoke.
"Okay, brothers, let's block the other entrances first." Liu Si agreed and turned to shout to others.
"good."
"Got it, Brother Liu."
…
The team members agreed in unison.
Zhou Ziwen picked up some dead branches and leaves nearby, and also picked up a handful of herbs.
"Is this the stinking fart vine?" Liu Si took a look and asked.
"Yes, the scientific name is hairy-leaved xanthoceras, also known as dog shit vine, stinky fart vine, chicken shit vine..." Zhou Ziwen listed all the nicknames of this thing like the back of his hand.
This thing is a Chinese herbal medicine with good medicinal value, but here, it can only be used as a weed to smoke rabbits.
