Chapter 458: Crispy Dried Fish



After staying in the clinic for a while, until I was almost done with my cup of tea, Zhu Youde finally came.

"Ziwen, you must be waiting impatiently. The production team was very busy today. I rushed over right after finishing work."

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Youde explained to him why he was late.

"I just got here a while ago." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

"Dad, please sit down first. Ziwen is also very busy. Don't waste his time."

Zhu Jianguo helped him to the chair and prepared for acupuncture.

"Haha, Ziwen is busy with important things. You should learn from him." Zhu Youde said in a mature tone.

"Haha, I'm not busy with anything, just fooling around." Zhou Ziwen picked up the silver needles on the table and chatted with them while doing acupuncture.

"You are not kidding. The most important thing for us farmers is farming. Only with land can we have roots!" Zhu Youde shook his head.

At this moment, he was not a shrewd accountant, but rather had the kindness of an elder giving advice to the younger ones.

"Well, Ziwen is a man who does big things. If this ginseng is grown, it will probably sell for a lot of money!" Zhu Jianguo sighed on the side.

Because of Zhu Youde, Zhu Jianguo was also more informed. Others only knew that Zhou Ziwen proposed to distribute land to the educated youth, but they didn't know what he was going to do with the land.

He is different. He is the son of an accountant and is familiar with all the big and small things in the village.

He basically knows everything his father knows.

"No, I just want to try it out. I'm not sure if it will work or not!" Zhou Ziwen smiled and shook his head.

Zhou Ziwen likes to be low-key in his work and modest in his speech. Of course, if he can't hide it, he doesn't mind being high-profile.

Just like growing ginseng, more and more people will definitely know about it as time goes by.

But he didn't care too much. After all, in addition to his own land, he also helped the production team to plant crops.

The villagers also had a share of the production team's things.

In other words, Zhou Ziwen is also helping the villagers grow ginseng.

When you think about it this way, everyone is happy, and it’s a win-win situation.

After chatting with Zhu Jianguo and his son for a while, the acupuncture treatment was completed.

"Uncle Zhu, your body has almost recovered. You don't need acupuncture anymore. You just need to continue to take Chinese medicine for conditioning. Come back for a checkup in a few days."

After the acupuncture, Zhou Ziwen spoke.

"Ziwen, thank you. If it weren't for you this time, my illness would have been difficult to cure." Zhu Youde thanked again.

"It's okay. I'm a medical worker. It's my duty to treat everyone." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.

Although he is just a medical worker in name only, he has all the responsibilities he should have.

After all, he still gets work points as a hygienist, so he has to work.

After giving a few brief instructions, Zhou Ziwen said hello to Zhu Jianguo and his son, then left the clinic and returned home.

After arriving home, he took out his fishing gear, especially the fishing rod, which was covered in dust as it had not been used for a while.

After wiping his hunch and preparing the fish bucket and bait, he leisurely walked to the river.

Although he hadn't fished for a long time, his skills had not declined.

After spreading the secret bait, Zhou Ziwen held the fishing rod and began to wait for the fish to bite.

I looked at the fishing skill on the panel. This skill, after much procrastination, is almost at level four.

Fishing Level 3 (288/300)

In his mind, this skill has become a leisure and entertainment skill.

When it comes to improving my skills, I just take it as it comes.

It doesn’t matter whether you have proficient fishing skills or not, as long as you can catch fish and pass the time, that’s enough.

Although the third-level fishing skills are not strong, it is not a problem for him to be a formal fisherman among fishermen.

He can even support himself with this.

Besides, this skill is about to reach level four, and his skills will be even stronger by then.

Zhou Ziwen spent the rest of the morning fishing by the river.

Perhaps these fish were suffocated during the winter, and as soon as the weather got warmer, the fish in the river became very active.

By noon, his bucket was full of fish.

Although most of them are only small fish about the length of a finger, there are a lot of them!

These fish are a great choice whether fried or dried.

Especially the dry, fragrant and crispy dried fish, which are delicious whether used as snacks or as a side dish for drinking.

Seeing that he had caught almost all the fish, Zhou Ziwen put away his fishing rod and went home.

I've been busy these past few days, and I feel much better every now and then when I have some free time.

When he returned home, he tidied up a bit and started processing the fish in the bucket in the yard.

Because there is no special washing trough, you can only kill the fish while squatting next to the water tank, which is not very convenient.

Zhou Ziwen felt that it was time to get a laundry trough.

But the washing tub alone is not enough, and fetching water is also quite inconvenient.

"Let's just dig another well."

Next, Zhou Ziwen added digging a well to the plan.

Of course, these two things just flashed through his mind and he didn't pay much attention to them.

Things have to be done step by step. For the time being, growing ginseng is his important goal at this stage.

"Brother Ziwen, you didn't go out today?"

While Zhou Ziwen was killing the fish, the Chen sisters also came back with the announcement of the end of work.

"Well, I went fishing in the river today."

Zhou Ziwen looked up and gave his wife a smile, then went back to work.

"That's great! I haven't eaten fish in a long time." Chen Qiaoyi trotted over and said, "Brother Ziwen, let me help you!"

"No, the fishy smell is a bit strong. Don't let your hands get sticky, otherwise you won't be able to wash it off later." Zhou Ziwen spoke up to stop him.

It would be a pity to use my wife's little hands to kill fish. It would be better to keep them for something else.

He really liked Chen Qiaoyi's crystal clear and tender little hands.

"Hehe, okay, I'll go make dinner then."

Perhaps because she felt Zhou Ziwen's care for her, Chen Qiaoyi seemed extremely happy.

She clapped her hands, skipped to the kitchen, and cooked with her sister.

After a while, Zhou Ziwen also cleaned up the fish.

In order to eat as soon as possible, Zhou Ziwen also started busying himself in the kitchen.

He was the chef, and the two sisters helped him, and the meal was ready quickly.

A plate of fried crispy dried fish, a pot of pickled fish, a dish of shredded potatoes with green peppers, and a refreshing and delicious cold dish were their lunch today.

"Brother Ziwen, this dried fish smells so good! I can be full just by eating this."

When the food was served, Chen Qiaoyi couldn't wait to pick up a small dried fish.

She tasted a piece of the dried fish when it came out of the pot just now, but her sister was watching her, so she didn't dare to eat more.

Dinner is officially served now, and she can finally eat her fill.

"The pickled fish is delicious, and the shredded potatoes are delicious too. Brother Ziwen, your cooking is so delicious."

At the dinner table, Chen Qiaoyi kept picking up food and couldn't stop eating.

Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying were listening to her chatter nearby. (End of this chapter)
