Chapter 57 Wild Boar Meat
When he had chosen the book he wanted and looked for Chen Qiaoyi, he found that she was reading a prose book with great interest.
"Yiyi, do you want to buy anything? I have chosen it." Zhou Ziwen patted her shoulder.
"I want to buy this prose book." Chen Qiaoyi raised the book in her hand.
"If you like it, just buy it." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
Soon, the two bought their own books and came out of the bookstore.
"Brother Ziwen, are we going to buy flour now?" Chen Qiaoyi asked.
"It's getting late, let's go eat first! I guess Zhou Chaoyang is waiting." Zhou Ziwen looked at his watch and found that it was already half past eleven.
"Okay!" Chen Qiaoyi nodded obediently.
When they arrived at the state-owned hotel, Zhou Chaoyang had already arrived.
"Chaoyang, have you bought the things?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
"That's about it. Let's go shopping after dinner and buy a few things." Zhou Chaoyang nodded.
"Then let's go together!" Zhou Ziwen said, looking at the pile of things at Zhou Chaoyang's feet.
"Okay, I was just thinking that it would be difficult to carry so many things!" Zhou Chaoyang said happily.
"Let's eat first. I'm hungry. It's your treat!"
"No problem, just order whatever you want." Zhou Chaoyang waved his hand generously.
It's just a treat, it doesn't cost much money, for him, it's just a drop in the bucket!
"Great." Zhou Ziwen gave a thumbs up.
In other words, he knew that Zhou Chaoyang was not short of money, otherwise he would not dare to let him treat him.
When ordering, Zhou Ziwen didn't overcharge him and just ordered a bowl of ordinary shredded pork noodles, but a large bowl.
Chen Qiaoyi ordered a small bowl of noodles with soybean paste.
As for Zhou Chaoyang, he ordered some pork intestine noodles.
The three of them finished eating without hesitation.
"Ah, so good! I haven't eaten so well in a long time." Zhou Chaoyang sighed while touching his round belly.
"You just haven't done enough work. If you stay in the countryside for a while, you'll be able to enjoy the delicious taste of steamed bread made with two-grain flour." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Brother, I was wrong. Please stop using my health as an excuse." Zhou Chaoyang clasped his fists and admitted defeat.
His physique is almost a joke.
"Okay, I'll let you go." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.
Even jokes require some discretion. He would only say this in front of his own people, and he would not say it in front of outsiders.
After dinner, the three of them put their things on the ox cart and asked the old man to help look after it, and then went out to buy things.
Among them was the flour that Chen Shiying asked them to buy, and as for the white flour tickets, they shared it equally among the five of them.
Then there are the things Shen Zhaodi wants to buy.
Finally, there is Zhou Chaoyang...
By the time they finished buying things, it was already past two o'clock.
To thank Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi for their help, Zhou Chaoyang treated them to snacks.
"Oh, it's so nice not to have to work. It would be great if I could not have to work every day."
After returning to where he sat on the ox cart and putting his things away, Zhou Chaoyang stretched vigorously.
"You can also choose not to work. You have money anyway, so you can survive even without work points." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"I dare not do that." Zhou Chaoyang shrank his neck.
If his family knew about this, they would probably expose his true identity.
"Let's take a rest first. The ox cart will not leave for a while." Zhou Ziwen found a shady place, took out the book he had just bought from the bookstore and started reading.
Zhou Ziwen discovered that knowledge books are more interesting than miscellaneous books.
Perhaps because he had never seen it before and it felt very novel, he was fascinated by it in a short while.
However, because he had never been exposed to it before, he didn't understand a lot of the content.
Although the book teaches techniques and methods, if he actually does it, he might make a mess of it.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen is not an ordinary person. He only needs to read the book like reading a novel. He does not need to understand or memorize it.
After he finishes reading, he can keep his skills idle and his skill proficiency will automatically improve. He will also be able to understand the knowledge in the book imperceptibly and master the techniques therein.
The time spent reading passed quickly. Zhou Ziwen only felt that a moment had passed before Chen Qiaoyi beside him woke him up.
"Brother Ziwen, the oxcart is about to leave. Let's get on it and reserve a seat."
"Oh, okay." Zhou Ziwen tore off a leaf and put it in the book, then patted his butt and sat on the ox cart.
At this time, there were already quite a few people sitting on the ox cart, including some from the Educated Youth Academy.
It's a rare day off, so everyone wants to go out and buy something and go shopping.
However, Zhou Ziwen was not very familiar with the people in the Youth League Institute. He only recognized their faces and didn't even know the names of some of them.
Usually when they meet, they just nod to each other and don't even bother to talk.
Because of his personality, many people in the Youth League Institute thought he was arrogant and said strange things like he was disunited.
Zhou Ziwen has heard a lot of these rumors, but he doesn't care.
Although his reputation in the Youth League Institute was not very good, he was very famous in the production team.
I have a good relationship with many people in the village.
On the way back, the car was shaking all the way, and when they got home, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
"You guys are finally back! The village is distributing meat today. Luckily we stayed home, otherwise we would only get some leftovers."
As soon as she entered the door, Shen Zhaodi said excitedly.
"Then how much meat did we get?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Not much. Comrade Zhou Ziwen got one catty, Sister Shiying and Sister Yiyi got eight ounces each, and Comrade Zhou Chaoyang and I only got half a catty. Together, we got three catties and six ounces. There wasn't much fat, though; it was mostly lean meat."
"Wild boar meat is more lean and doesn't have much fat. It's good that we didn't get any bones."
Zhou Ziwen was very satisfied with this.
"I have washed the meat and am just waiting for you to come back and cook it. Zhaodi and I don't know how to cook it." Chen Shiying said from the side.
"Okay, let me take care of it today!" Zhou Ziwen rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was ready for a big fight.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Ziwen was too lazy to rest and went straight to the kitchen to start working.
It is easy to remove the mutton smell of wild boar meat.
You can use the pickling method or the braising method.
Due to time constraints, it was too late to pickle the food, so Zhou Ziwen decided to use braising.
Chen Shiying and Shen Zhaodi watched Zhou Ziwen busy in the kitchen and learned his braising methods.
Chen Qiaoyi also came to join in the fun and helped to light the fire.
When it came to making fire, the two sisters were in a panic for a while.
When they lived in the city, their family used stoves and had never used this kind of wood stove.
It was Aunt Chen who taught them during the few days they stayed at Uncle Wu's house.
“It smells so good!”
The braising method is indeed effective quickly, and it didn’t take long before the aroma filled the house.
Of course, it is inevitable that the smell of wild boar meat will be stronger at the beginning. After the marinade is absorbed and the smell is removed, the aroma of wild boar meat will be released.
