Chapter 70: What about the Cheng family? Do you think I’m afraid?



"It's their loss if my sister-in-law doesn't go to the state-owned restaurant to be a chef." After finishing a big bowl of rice, Zhao Gouzi couldn't wait to put some noodles into the pot.

There was quite a bit of soup in the pot, and there was a fire burning underneath. The soup was bubbling, and soon the noodles were cooked.

These noodles are all made by Qin Zijin herself. They are very chewy and much more delicious than noodles bought outside.

Zhao Gouzi took a mouthful of noodles and his eyes widened immediately. Then he looked down at the noodles in the bowl in disbelief.

The noodles soaked up the soup, mixed with the umami flavor of the chicken and the extremely rich flavor of the soup, and were very chewy. He could even feel the springy feeling when he bit into it with his teeth.

In a short while, the big bowl of noodles was finished.

Zhao Gouzi burped with satisfaction, put down the bowl in his hand, and looked regretful: "If I had known I would skip eating before going out, I'm so full, but I feel like I can still eat."

Zhao Daniu raised his hand and slapped him, cursing angrily, "That's all you can do! Go and get some rest. If you hold on any longer, nothing good will happen!"

"I know, I know. I'm just saying this. Sister-in-law, you can come to work more often here. It doesn't matter if you don't pay me, as long as you give me food, I will come every day!" Zhao Gouzi replied perfunctorily, and then looked at Qin Zijin with a flattering face.

"I don't have anything I can ask you for help with. If I have any problems in the future, I will definitely come to you." Qin Zijin thought about it and felt that there seemed to be nothing else to worry about except this house. However, Zhao Gouzi and the others were very straightforward, and Qin Zijin was happy to interact with them, so he still left some room for them.

Zhao Gouzi's face immediately became full of joy, and he took the bowl to wash it.

The others finished their meal quickly.

There was a pot of rice and five pounds of noodles made by Qin Zijin, and nothing was left.

The meat in the pot was eaten up cleanly, and even the soup was scraped clean. The pot looked even cleaner than before cooking.

Qin Zijin originally wanted to clean up.

As a result, after Zhao Daniu and his friends finished eating, they washed all the dishes, chopsticks, pots and pans.

Qin Zijin had nothing to do, so he had to go in and make his own cotton-padded jacket.

Miao Cuicui happened to come over to see Zhao Daniu. Seeing Qin Zijin enter the room, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Zijin, I remember Tang Shen used to sleep in that room, right? What are you doing?"

Qin Zijin turned around and saw that it was her, so she explained, "Isn't the weather getting colder? I fluffed the quilt at home a while ago and had some extra cotton, so I thought of making a set of clothes."

"You can also fluff cotton?" Miao Cuicui's face was suddenly full of surprise.

"Yes, sister-in-law, do you want to come in? I just need to make clothes." Qin Zijin nodded.

Miao Cuicui was naturally curious.

She was not allowed to do any housework because she was pregnant. Now, apart from accompanying Zhao Gang, she had nothing to do every day.

Zhao Gang didn't like playing with her either. With Tang Ruixuan and Tang Simeng by his side, the boy was so happy that he didn't even remember that he had a mother.

Since there was nothing to do, she just came to watch Qin Zijin make clothes.

As soon as you enter the room, you can feel the difference of this room. It seems as if there is cotton wool floating in the air, and you can see cotton wool floating on the walls and roof.

A bed was used as a makeshift workbench, with some cotton and cut cloth placed on it.

Miao Cuicui went forward to take a look, thought for a moment, and then asked Qin Zijin, "Did you fluff this cotton yourself, or did Tang Shen fluff it?"

"I learned it by myself. What's wrong?" Qin Zijin answered naturally.

"It's like this. The quilts in our house are quite old. They're very hard and not very warm. I told you before that I'd wait and see when the cotton fluffer would come and send them over to help fluff them, but no one has come yet. If you can, could you fluff those quilts for me? I'll pay you according to the price outside." Miao Cuicui expressed her plan.

Qin Zijin naturally did not refuse.

She originally planned to take some work in the village, pick up some cotton, and make a few more clothes for her two children.

"Of course, no problem, sister-in-law. You can send the quilt over now. There is still time today, and I can make one for you." Qin Zijin agreed readily.

"Thank you so much. I'll go back and get them now. I'll make them one bed at a time. We still need them at home." Miao Cuicui went back happily.

After a while, Aunt Zhao came over with a quilt.

"Qin Zhiqing, I'm sorry to trouble you. This job is not easy." Aunt Zhao looked at Qin Zijin with a bit of heartache in her eyes.

Qin Zijin smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said, "It's not hard work. How can you make money without hard work in this world?"

"You're right. Thank you for your help. I'll come and get it when it's done." Aunt Zhao looked at Qin Zijin with appreciation and put down the quilt.

"You can come and get it tomorrow morning." Qin Zijin glanced at the quilt on the ground.

Aunt Zhao's family is quite well-off, and this quilt is made of at least seven or eight kilograms of cotton, which is quite heavy.

I guess I could take away enough cotton for a cotton-padded jacket.

Aunt Zhao put down the quilt and went back without staying for long.

As for Miao Cuicui, she originally wanted to come and see, but was stopped by Aunt Zhao, who said that there were too many cotton fibers when fluffing cotton, which was not conducive to her pregnancy.

Qin Zijin is now very familiar with this and can easily roll up the quilt.

By the time it was still light outside, most of the work had been done, with only the last step left.

She put down what she was holding and went out to prepare dinner for Zhao Daniu and the others.

The evening was still rich, with fried bacon with fungus, stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised rabbit meat, spicy diced rabbit, and a pot of rabbit bone and carrot soup. In addition, some stir-fried vegetables were also prepared, all of which Qin Zijin got from the space.

There was a large round table in the yard, and several men gathered around it, eating with their mouths drooling.

Qin Zijin kept another portion for himself and went to pick up Tang Ruixuan and Tang Simeng. The three of them stayed in the house, listening to the conversation and laughter outside while eating quietly.

I don’t know who shouted, “It would be even better if there was some wine,” and Qin Zijin’s heart became lively again.

There is more food in the space now, and there are quite a lot of stocks of rice, corn, sorghum and wheat. I can consider making wine.

No matter what time it is, alcohol is considered a luxury and most people cannot afford it.

For some alcoholics, they can go a day without rice or meat, but they cannot go a day without drinking.

Moreover, Qin Zijin has god-level cooking skills, so naturally she also has the skills to make wine. She has several lost wine recipes in her hands. She can try to brew a few jars of wine in the space in the evening to see the effect.

It just so happens that no matter whether you are planting or doing anything else in this space, there is a function to accelerate time. I estimate that you will be able to see results in a few days.
