Chapter 159 Oil Pressing
After leaving the mushroom house, it was still early. Zhou Ziwen went home, put away his bicycle, and walked towards the Niutoushan River Dam.
He is going to move a key stone back to extract oil.
Originally, he planned to use the crushing method to extract the oil, but he did not have special tools, so he had to settle for the next best thing and use the pressing method to extract the oil.
Anyway, the methods are just different, but the effects are similar.
The crushing method saves some effort, while the pressing method relies entirely on brute force.
Zhou Ziwen has brute strength, and the squeezing method is just right for him.
When he arrived at the river dam at the foot of Niutou Mountain, Zhou Ziwen looked around and quickly found a suitable stone.
Half of the stone was buried in the soil, and Zhou Ziwen could only hold half of it.
When he came to the stone, Zhou Ziwen tried to push it, but found that he couldn't push it at all.
"It seems it's buried a bit deep!"
Zhou Ziwen squatted down slightly, took a lunge, and exerted force on his hands. A brutal force burst out, and the rock that was originally as stable as a rock was instantly pushed by him. On the ground, a large piece of soil began to loosen.
“It doesn’t seem very deep.” By shaking it, Zhou Ziwen also confirmed the weight of the stone.
It was a little more than he estimated, about 1,300 kilograms.
Originally when Bajiquan broke through the sixth level, he had the strength of a thousand catties. In addition to being idle during this period, Bajiquan was about to be upgraded again, and his strength became much stronger, a thousand pounds. Although it was a bit difficult to move three hundred kilograms of stones, it was still manageable. At most, I would have to rest a few times on the road.
It's not that he has to show off, it's mainly because of the stones in this area, this one is the most suitable, the others are either too big or too small.
“Get up.”
After choosing the stone, Zhou Ziwen did not delay, turned around, squatted down and started to exert force.
Under his brute force, he uprooted the thick and big stone.
Perhaps it was too heavy. After pulling up the stone, every step Zhou Ziwen took would leave a deep footprint under his feet.
The ground beside the river is relatively soft. If it weren't for the support of many small stones, it would be impossible to walk.
Step by step, Zhou Ziwen slowly left the dam and started to go home along the path.
The ground on the path is relatively solid and covered with weeds. Carrying such a large stone will leave footprints but will not sink into it.
Carrying this stone was a bit difficult for Zhou Ziwen. After only carrying it for a while, he was sweating profusely and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
After taking a short rest, Zhou Ziwen set off again.
After two hours of walking and stopping, I finally got the stone back home.
"Brother Ziwen, you are carrying such a big stone like this!" As soon as they arrived at the door of the house, the Chen sisters also came back from the mushroom house. When they saw Zhou Ziwen carrying a stone that was taller than him, they were immediately moved. Startled.
Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang were also stunned. Although they knew that Zhou Ziwen was very powerful, they did not know that it was to this extent.
It was scary enough to carry a stone to build a chicken coop, but they didn't expect to carry a bigger stone this time. They couldn't guess how a person could carry such a heavy stone.
“In ancient times, there were overlords who raised cauldrons, but now there is Brother Zhou who resists stones.”
"With this strength, I'm afraid no one can compare to Brother Zhou."
Zhou Chaoyang opened his mouth wide in amazement, and it took him a long time to react.
“Bang.”
Zhou Ziwen put down the stone, and a big hole was instantly created on the ground.
“This stone is so heavy, I almost couldn’t carry it.” Zhou Ziwen wiped his sweat and said with a smile. "Brother Ziwen, you are too worrying. What if such a big stone flashes up to your waist?" Chen Qiaoyi looked at Zhou Ziwen complainingly, rarely angry.
"Haha, it's okay. I tried to carry it. If I can't carry it, I won't do it forcefully." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
Although it was just a small complaint, this concern made him extremely useful.
“You know how to mess around.” Chen Shiying stretched out her hand and hit him.
She looks like a real big sister.
But according to her age, she is younger than Zhou Ziwen, but she just takes advantage of her name.
“Hehe.” Zhou Ziwen scratched his head and smiled.
Let’s just say it, anyway, it’s a lot of meat, and the two sisters are worried about his safety, and it’s too late for him to be moved!
"You guys go cook first, I'll take a rest." Zhou Ziwen hurriedly changed the subject.
"Okay, then you should rest quickly and don't be so reckless next time." Chen Shiying warned.
"Yeah, okay." Zhou Ziwen nodded honestly.
In a few days, his Bajiquan will be upgraded, and by then he will be stronger. This weight is not a problem at all.
However, in order not to shock the world and not to worry them, he decided to do as little as possible in the future.
"Brother Zhou, you are too strong. Is this really what you can achieve by practicing boxing?" When the Chen sisters left, Zhou Chaoyang was still reluctant to leave.
He surrounded Zhou Ziwen, still feeling a little incredible until now.
"Well, I did achieve it by practicing boxing, but I guess I am the kind of person with extraordinary talents. Most people may not be able to reach my level after practicing boxing for a lifetime." Zhou Ziwen told the truth.
If it weren’t for the help of the idle panel, he probably wouldn’t be able to achieve anything famous in his lifetime by himself.
First of all, he is not from a martial arts family. He has no secret teachings and no guidance from a master. It would be good if he does not injure himself through training.
Secondly, it is a matter of talent. He is just an ordinary person. He is not as good as the villagers in the village in terms of enduring hardship. It is strange that he can become famous through practice.
"Then I have no hope?" Zhou Chaoyang showed a disappointed expression.
"You have no hope." Zhou Ziwen didn't want to comfort a man, "If you want to achieve success in boxing, you have to practice since childhood. At such an old age, you will definitely not be famous!"
In fact, if you don’t have a special love for boxing, you wouldn’t be able to persist day after day.
Except for those from martial arts families who have been instilled with the concept of martial arts since childhood, there are not many outsiders who want to practice boxing, but there are not many who have achieved success.
"Alas, my dream is shattered." Zhou Chaoyang sighed, with a disappointed look on his face.
He had just been motivated by Zhou Ziwen, but he was immediately hit.
"Okay, I'm going to go do some work. If you're okay, you can go." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand and started to work on his own.
Given his relationship with Zhou Chaoyang, there was no need to be polite, and he could even be a little less polite.
"Brother Zhou, let me see how you extract oil." Zhou Chaoyang did not leave just like that. For him, extracting oil was a very strange thing. He really didn't know what oil was. How was it squeezed out?
"It's very simple, just watch." Zhou Ziwen didn't rush him, as long as it didn't delay things.
Back in the house, Zhou Ziwen took out his masonry tools.
First, break a smaller part when carrying it back. This part is used as the base. The oil will be squeezed on this stone later.
