Chapter 156 Dumplings
In the evening, Zhou Ziwen, the Chen sisters, Zhou Chaoyang, and Shen Zhaodi gathered around the stove and watched the hot pot boiling in the pot.
Zhou Ziwen stir-fries the ingredients himself. Although there is no butter, the aroma of the hot pot base is still overwhelming.
The spicy and delicious taste hits your face with the hot air, making people unable to help but swallow their saliva.
"The blood boil is almost ready, let's eat." Zhou Ziwen checked the heat and nodded with satisfaction.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qiaoyi and Shen Zhaodi couldn't wait to take action. Some of them were scalding their belly, some were eating blood, and some were scalding vegetables.
“It’s delicious, it’s delicious, Brother Zhou, this tastes better than any hot pot I’ve ever had.” Shen Zhaodi gave him a thumbs up while eating.
As a Sichuan and Chongqing native, she is the one who eats hot pot the most.
Being praised by her, an authentic Sichuan and Chongqing native, is enough to prove how good Zhou Ziwen's craftsmanship is.
"Haha, not bad, not bad, I wish I could get butter. The taste is still a bit bad." Zhou Ziwen said modestly, with a proud smile on his face.
Butter is the soul of hot pot. He is very satisfied that the hot pot can be made so fragrant without butter.
“Butter!” Zhou Chaoyang on the side pricked up his ears and kept this matter in mind.
He has connections in the county. He can get things that others cannot.
It’s just butter. Although it’s difficult to get, it’s not impossible to get.
In order to eat delicious hot pot, he thought he could use his connections.
Next, they ignored talking and just ate hot pot one by one.
The hot pot eating method is not very friendly to the Chen sisters, because the two sisters cannot eat spicy food and their usual taste is relatively bland.
Although they started to eat spicy food gradually after teaming up with Zhou Ziwen, this hot pot was too overbearing and they couldn't stand it.
The key is that Zhou Ziwen’s hot pot tastes so good that even if they can’t tolerate spicy food, they can’t help but want to eat it.
And this is meat. In this day and age, there is no one who doesn’t like eating meat.
"Yiyi, sister, if you can't eat spicy food, you can wash it in boiling water before eating." Seeing the two girls inhaling the spicy food while unable to help but stretch their chopsticks into the pot, Zhou Ziwen reminded him funny .
“Yes, let me pour some water.” After Zhou Ziwen’s reminder, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying woke up at the same time.
At this moment, the two sisters wondered if they were too stupid to think of such a simple solution.
“Haha!” Shen Zhaodi laughed unscrupulously on the side.
She just likes to see how others can't help but want to eat spicy food even though they can't eat spicy food.
"Damn girl, I'll scratch you to death." Chen Qiaoyi opened his teeth and claws to tickle her.
“No, I was wrong.” Shen Zhaodi apologized hurriedly.
With these two people, the room was filled with cheerful laughter.
The hot pot meal lasted until ten o'clock, but in the second half, everyone slowed down and basically talked.
Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang were drinking wine and eating vegetables.
Zhou Ziwen ate the most during this meal.
I haven’t eaten meat for so many days, and I finally had a full meal this time.
When Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi left, Zhou Ziwen stuffed them with a piece of meat, not much, only about five kilograms.
"Brother Zhou, we can't have this." Shen Zhaodi hurriedly backed away as if she saw something she was afraid of.
"Yes, Brother Zhou, just treat us to a big meal. How can we eat and take it at the same time!" Zhou Chaoyang also spoke next to him.
"Okay, just let me take it, don't be embarrassed." Zhou Ziwen turned to give it to Zhou Chaoyang and said before he could refuse: "This meat will be included in the industrial coupon I owe you, dear." Brother Ming, I didn’t give it to you for nothing.”
“Brother Zhou, you have already paid back the industrial coupon.” Zhou Chaoyang looked at Zhou Ziwen helplessly.
"Then I don't care, leave quickly, we have to go to work tomorrow, go to bed early." Zhou Ziwen pushed them out.
Zhou Chaoyang said that the industrial coupons had been paid off, but Zhou Ziwen felt that it was still close. He said he paid it back because the boy asked him to trade for fish when he was greedy, and Zhou Ziwen didn't take the money.
After this period of time, he also paid back everything.
With their current relationship, it doesn’t actually need to be so clear.
As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. The few of them came to this strange place in the countryside and hugged each other to keep warm. Their relationship had already reached a certain level and there was no need to worry too much.
I don’t care at all which one suffers a little loss and which one takes an advantage.
After a night of silence, Zhou Ziwen got up from bed the next day and punched several times in the yard to stretch his body.
After finishing the exercise, Zhou Ziwen thought about it and pulled out the hang-up panel.
【Bajiquan LV6(503/600)】
【Growing Mushrooms LV4(224/400)】
【Fishing LV3(73/300)】
【Stonemason LV3(52/300)】
[Cooking LV4 (93/400)]
[Vegetable LV1 (77/100)]
......
After a few days, all skills have improved , the most obvious change is Baji Quan. In four days at most, Baji Quan will be upgraded again.
Zhou Ziwen is also looking forward to it. The higher the level of Bajiquan, the safer he will be in the mountains in the future. If he is lucky enough to encounter prey, he can also kill and eat it.
He has already seen how rich the resources are in the mountains. If he wants to eat meat, he depends on this mountain.
When Zhou Ziwen came to the Chen sisters’ house for dinner, the two sisters were making dumplings.
"Brother Ziwen, come and help." Seeing Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi hurriedly waved.
“Today’s breakfast is quite rich. I even had dumplings.” Zhou Ziwen happily walked over.
"Sister said you must want to eat meat, so I made it for you." Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.
"Sister, you are so kind to me, thank you." Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen felt warm in his heart.
"It's all thanks to you that we can eat meat. We can only do something about it." Chen Shiying pursed her lips and smiled.
"Haha, it seems I will have to work harder in the future." Zhou Ziwen laughed and accepted the compliment from his sister-in-law.
Excessive modesty is hypocrisy. It is really his credit to be able to hit the roe deer.
"Hee hee." Chen Qiaoyi looked happy. She felt that the most correct thing she had done in her life was to be with Zhou Ziwen.
With Zhou Ziwen here, she has someone to rely on. She no longer panics or worries. She just needs to live happily every day.
There is strength in numbers. Three people made dumplings together and they were done quickly.
"Ziwen, please season it!" Chen Shiying said.
Compared with her, Zhou Ziwen has a more accurate grasp of the taste, and the dipping water he prepares is more delicious.
“Okay.”
In this regard, Zhou Ziwen did his part. During this time, he will also spend part of his time cooking.
Although he is still far from level five, after his proficiency increased, his cooking skills also began to improve, and the result was that the food tasted better.
He found that it was still necessary to improve his cooking skills. Not only could he maintain an absolute advantage in front of his sister-in-law and gain her admiration, but the dishes he cooked would also be more delicious.
If he encounters something good, he must cook it himself, otherwise the good thing will be wasted.
