Chapter 49 Upgrade
In the end, no one knew what Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi talked about privately, but in any case, Shen Zhaodi agreed to let them have dinner together.
When Zhou Chaoyang told Zhou Ziwen the news, this guy was very proud.
"Aren't you two afraid of what the villagers will gossip about you?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
"Hey, what are you afraid of? Just say it. What if you lose a piece of meat?" Zhou Chaoyang didn't care.
He has experienced a lot of rumors since he was a child and has long been accustomed to them.
"You two are awesome!" Zhou Ziwen gave a thumbs up.
Considering Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi's personalities, this matter really has no impact on them.
Even if someone talks behind your back, if the person involved doesn't care, it's useless to say anything.
After a nap, Zhou Ziwen woke up to the sound of a gong.
The first moment he woke up, he felt that there was more knowledge in his mind.
I opened the auto-play panel and found that the stonemason's skills had been upgraded.
[Stonemason LV1 (1/100)]
Being a first-level stonemason, he learned a lot of stonemasonry techniques and was able to do slightly more delicate work.
With this skill, he is equivalent to the second-in-command in the stonemason team, and people outside can also call him Master Zhou.
"Xiao Zhou, you do the rough processing!"
When he started work in the afternoon, Master Chen quickly discovered something different about Zhou Ziwen.
After thinking about it, he asked Zhou Ziwen to change the process.
Rough processing is the second step in stone processing.
The first step is cutting the materials, the second step is to preliminarily process the materials according to the size, and the third stage is fine processing. This step is usually done by experienced craftsmen, such as Master Chen.
"Okay, Master Chen." Zhou Ziwen was not nervous and started working on it with a chisel and hammer on the spot.
The stones needed for the threshing ground are of uniform specifications, and he also knows the specific dimensions after working in the stonemason team for a few days.
After drawing the line and measuring the size, Zhou Ziwen began processing.
Although his movements were a bit slow, even slower than those of the second-in-command masters, each step was very standard and the requirements for rough processing were not high, so even a beginner could do it.
Master Chen watched for a while and said with admiration, "Xiao Zhou, you learn really fast. You must be born to do this. Why don't you change your career and become a stonemason?"
There was a lot of work for stonemasons in the production team, such as building roads and bridges.
Stonemasons have no shortage of work all year round.
"I have no problem. I can do anything and obey the arrangements made by my leader." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
Zhou Ziwen didn't care what kind of work he did, and being a stonemason was not bad either.
Although stonemasonry seems to be doing heavy physical work, that is actually only when mining the stones. The subsequent processes require technical skills and are actually quite easy if you do it well.
"Okay, I'll tell them later. From now on, you will be a member of our team." Seeing Zhou Ziwen agreed, Master Chen made the decision immediately.
In fact, the stonemason group is a mobile group. When working, they will go to whichever group needs them.
Zhou Ziwen joined the stonemason team earlier, but that was only temporary. Once the threshing ground is built, Zhou Ziwen will return to Team 4.
But with what Master Chen said, he would be a formal member of the stonemason team from now on and would no longer belong to Group 4.
"Thank you, Master Chen." Zhou Ziwen also knew that this was for his own good, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Who would want to do hard labor when you can be a skilled worker?
"Haha, welcome Zhou Zhiqing to join us."
"As expected of an intellectual, he learns things quickly. I'm afraid it won't be long before Zhou Zhiqing's skills surpass ours."
"Yeah, back then, it took me a year to get started."
…
Hearing Master Chen say this, the stonemasons all came forward to congratulate him.
With Master Chen's words, it was a foregone conclusion that Zhou Ziwen would join the stonemason team.
In the village, Master Chen has a very high status. Even the production team leader has to respect him.
Master Chen did what he said. When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, he went to the production team. When he came back, he told Zhou Ziwen that he would be a member of the stonemason team from now on.
After thanking Master Chen again, it was time to get off work.
On the way back, Zhou Ziwen reunited with the Chen sisters, and Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi also joined them.
When the team becomes five people, the scene becomes more lively.
Zhou Ziwen told everyone that he would become a member of the stonemason group in the future, and was met with their envious gazes.
"That's great, Brother Zhou. You've made it to the stonemason group so quickly."
"Brother Ziwen, you are so awesome!" Chen Qiaoyi clenched her fists to encourage him.
"Haha, it's all luck." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand modestly.
"I also wish I had this kind of luck!" Zhou Chaoyang sighed.
"Don't even think about it. Even if you have the chance, you won't be able to learn it." Shen Zhaodi said in a stern tone.
"Oh, why don't I think about it?" Zhou Chaoyang sighed.
He was exhausted after the day and wanted to lie down on the bed and have a good sleep.
Chatting and laughing all the way, the group of five soon returned home.
After a day's work, Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi were basically exhausted. They just lay there when they got home and couldn't do anything.
Zhou Ziwen took his fishing rod and carried a bucket to the river to fish.
With him was his beautiful partner.
The two of them went fishing by the river together, which was considered a happy couple.
As soon as they went out, they met Li Tiezhu, Gangdan and others who had returned from outside.
"Erzhuzi, where did you go to play?" Zhou Ziwen looked at the little guys who were almost turned into clay figures with curiosity.
"Brother Zhou, let's go to the fields to catch loaches!" Erzhuzi said, holding up a sack with water still dripping from it to show him.
"Loach? Did you catch a lot? Give me some." Zhou Ziwen's eyes lit up.
You know what, these little guys are really capable. Although they are out in the wild all day, they also know how to bring things home. They are experts at catching eels, loaches, bullfrogs, etc.
"Exchange for candy?" Erzhuzi and the other friends' eyes lit up.
"You can exchange it for sugar." Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.
"Then let's exchange all these loaches with Brother Zhou!" Erzhuzi raised the bag in his hand generously.
"Okay, come with me! I'll give you some candy." Zhou Ziwen rubbed the little guy's head.
Using sugar to repay the loach is quite a good deal for Zhou Ziwen.
Although he could also catch them in the fields himself, that would take time, so it would be better to exchange them for candy.
The little ones were also very happy. After all, catching loaches was just like playing for them. They would make a profit if they could exchange them for sweet candies!
Seeing Zhou Ziwen coming with a group of little guys, Chen Shiying felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. She remembered that last time Zhou Ziwen had exchanged eels with these little guys.
As expected, this time the fish was replaced by loach.
After the little ones happily left with the candies, Chen Shiying was a little amused. "What should we do with these loaches? Are we going to eat them tonight?"
"Well, can you handle it? Do you need help?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
Loach is delicious when cooked, but it takes a lot of time to prepare. Besides, Chen Shiying is a girl, so she might be afraid of this slippery thing.
