That evening, Zhou Ziwen prepared a feast of eels. A large plate of braised eels, each piece enrobed in a rich sauce, was a vibrant red. Sprinkled with scallions and cilantro, the dish was fragrant and aromatic.
There are also stir-fried shredded yellow eel. The slender shredded yellow eel is paired with shredded green and red peppers. The color is bright and the taste is fresh, tender and smooth.
In the eel pot, eels are stewed together with various fungi and vegetables. The soup is thick and exudes a mellow aroma. The eel meat absorbs the deliciousness of the soup and melts in your mouth.
Cold-mixed eel is refreshing and delicious. Cut the eel meat into small pieces and add minced garlic, minced ginger, vinegar, soy sauce and other seasonings and mix well. It is sour and spicy and appetizing, which will greatly increase your appetite.
Zhou Chaoyang, Chen Zhaodi, and Tang Yaoyao also came tonight. A group of people gathered around the table, their faces filled with anticipation and joy.
Zhou Ziwen said with a smile: "Everyone, come and try it and see how good my cooking skills are."
Zhou Chaoyang was the first to pick up a piece of braised yellow eel. He picked it up and put it in his mouth. His eyes widened instantly. He chewed and praised incoherently, "Wow, Brother Ziwen, this is so delicious! This braised yellow eel is absolutely amazing. The meat is tender and the sauce is rich. It's delicious!"
Not to be outdone, Shen Zhaodi picked up some stir-fried shredded yellow eel, gently put it into her mouth and savored it slowly, then nodded and praised: "This stir-fried shredded yellow eel is also great. The yellow eel is very tender, and paired with shredded green and red peppers, it not only looks good in color, but also tastes delicious."
Tang Yaoyao reached for the eel stew with her chopsticks, scooped up a piece of eel meat soaked in broth and some vegetables, put it in her mouth, closed her eyes contentedly, and said, "This eel stew is so delicious. The broth is rich, the eel meat melts in your mouth, and the fragrance of the vegetables is just right."
Zhou Ziwen felt a warm feeling in his heart when he heard everyone's praise. He smiled and replied, "I'm glad you like it. Eat more. Today we specially prepared an eel feast for you all."
Chen Shiying also took a chopstick to eat the cold-mixed eel. After tasting it carefully, her eyes curved into crescents. She smiled and said, "Ziwen, your cold-mixed eel is really refreshing. The sour and spicy taste is just right for the appetite. It's perfect for summer."
Everyone enjoyed the delicious eel feast while chatting and laughing happily.
The topic ranged from various ways of cooking eels to the work in the production team during the day and the future development of the village.
As night deepened, Zhou Ziwen's yard was filled with laughter.
The eel feast on the table not only made everyone feast, but also became a bond for communication among everyone.
This eel feast made everyone enjoy the meal and chat to their heart's content.
After dinner, everyone cleaned up the dishes and cleaned up together.
Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao were responsible for washing the dishes, while Chen Shiying helped wipe the table.
After finishing the cleaning, everyone went home to rest.
As the night deepened, the lights in Zhou Ziwen's house gradually went out, leaving only the moonlight outside the window shining on the ground, adding a touch of tranquility and mystery to the night.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, Zhou Ziwen woke up from the kang feeling refreshed.
It is worth mentioning that his idle position was opened again last night.
By now, his AFK slots have officially reached twenty-two.
With the opening of twenty-two idle slots, Zhou Ziwen's skill improvement speed has been significantly accelerated.
He could feel his progress in every aspect every day, whether it was agricultural knowledge, machinery maintenance, or martial arts skills, all were growing steadily.
Early in the morning, Zhou Ziwen performed a set of Shaolin boxing in the yard. His movements were smoother and more powerful, and every punch and kick revealed his deep internal strength.
He could feel that his martial arts skills were getting closer and closer to a new level with the help of the auto-play function.
After boxing, Zhou Ziwen was sweating slightly. He stood in the yard, feeling the morning breeze on his face, and felt particularly relaxed.
He walked into the house and saw that Chen Shiying had already gotten up and was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Steaming porridge was cooking in the pot on the stove, and cut steamed buns and some pickles were placed on the chopping board.
Zhou Ziwen walked over and helped bring breakfast to the table in the yard.
Chen Shiying saw Zhou Ziwen come in and said with a smile: "Ziwen, you got up really early today. Go wash up and get ready for breakfast."
"Okay, I'll go call Yiyi." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
When I came to the bedroom, Chen Qiaoyi and Xiao Yueyue were sleeping soundly.
Yesterday, Yueyue was so excited to see how lively the house was that she went to bed very late at night.
Seeing how soundly they were sleeping, Zhou Ziwen thought for a moment and decided not to call Chen Qiaoyi to get up.
Anyway, Chen Qiaoyi doesn’t have to go to work, so it’s the same to save breakfast for her and eat it when she wakes up.
Zhou Ziwen quietly left the bedroom and closed the door so as not to disturb Chen Qiaoyi and Xiao Yueyue's sleep. He returned to the kitchen, where Chen Shiying had almost finished preparing breakfast.
"Shiying, Yiyi and Xiao Yueyue are still sleeping. I won't wake them up. Let's wait until they wake up before eating." Zhou Ziwen said to Chen Shiying.
Chen Shiying nodded in understanding: "That's fine. They did make a fuss late yesterday. Let them sleep a little longer."
The two of them moved breakfast to the table in the yard. Zhou Ziwen sat down, picked up the bowl of porridge, blew off the hot steam on it, and then slowly drank it.
The porridge is at just the right temperature, the rice grains are soft and sticky, and paired with pickles, it is simple yet full of the taste of home.
"Shiying, you cooked great porridge today." Zhou Ziwen praised while eating.
Chen Shiying smiled and replied, "As long as you like it, it's good. I see you've been busy lately, so you need to eat more."
The two of them ate breakfast quietly, enjoying the tranquility of the early morning.
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and falls into the yard, creating mottled light and shadows.
The birds are singing happily on the branches, and everything is so harmonious and beautiful.
After breakfast, they went out to work.
When they passed by the Youth League Home, they met some educated youth who were also going to the gathering.
However, these educated youth were not in a good mood.
The old educated youth are fine, they have accepted the reality, but the new educated youth cannot.
They had just arrived in the countryside and had thought that some great career would be waiting for them, but they were unexpectedly assigned to a chicken farm on the first day. This made them feel disappointed and dissatisfied.
Zhou Ziwen felt a little sympathy when he saw the dejected looks of these new educated youth.
These young people were eventually hit by reality.
"Ziwen, look at these new educated youth, none of them have any spirit." Chen Shiying said softly.
Zhou Ziwen nodded: "Yes, they need time to adapt. Wasn't it the same when we first came?"
Chen Shiying recalled the scene when she first arrived and smiled: "That's true. Time will make them understand."
The two chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the threshing ground outside the production team.
After the morning meeting here, Zhou Ziwen followed Chen Shiying to a mushroom cultivation base.
Although the mushroom cultivation base no longer needs him, he is the leader of the mushroom group after all, so he still needs to understand the cultivation situation of the mushroom cultivation base. (End of this chapter)
