After lunch, Zhou Ziwen didn't take any rest. He took his fishing tools to the river and took the time to fish.
I still have some roe deer meat at home, but not much. If I catch some fish in advance, I can last for about ten days.
After this period of time has passed and the autumn harvest is over, it will be time to get some meat.
The afternoon passed quickly. When Zhou Ziwen came home, the bucket was full of fish again. Zhou Ziwen estimated that, including what he caught in the morning, it should weigh about twenty kilograms.
Back home, Zhou Ziwen poured the fish in the bucket into a stone tank to raise, leaving only one silver carp.
In the current weather, silver carp is not easy to raise. It will die if you keep it. It is better to eat it in advance.
With the stone tank, Zhou Ziwen no longer had to go to the river to kill fish. He just made a quick stone slab next to the stone tank and killed it on it with a knife.
The fish offal and scales are collected and fed to the chickens in the backyard.
To his surprise, the old hen caught by Zhou Qiang yesterday was not affected. When he came to the chicken coop, he actually found an egg in the henhouse.
“Not bad, they actually laid an egg.” Zhou Ziwen looked delighted, but he did not pick out the eggs.
Of course, I have to wait for Yiyi to discover such a happy thing.
I believe she will be very happy when she finds this egg when feeding the chickens.
Zhou Ziwen even thought of her smiling face.
When he returned to the yard, the Chen sisters had just returned from work.
“Brother Ziwen, what are you doing!” Chen Qiaoyi came over happily.
"Kill a fish and eat fish tonight." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
“I happen to have some pickled cabbage at home, let’s eat pickled fish today!” Chen Shiying said from the side.
“I can do it.”
Zhou Ziwen is not picky about food, as long as the food is delicious, he likes it.
That is to say, my sister-in-law is good at cooking. If the food she makes is not delicious, she will have to cook it herself.
After taking the killed fish to the Chen sisters' house, Zhou Ziwen came out of their house and returned to his yard.
In the yard, after a day of drying, the Camellia oleifera seeds have been dried. Zhou Ziwen checked and found that the shell of the Camellia oleifera seeds had become very brittle, and the shells could be broken with just a pinch of two fingers.
“Peel the shells first!”
Zhou Ziwen collected the camellia seeds on the ground, sat on the stone table and began to peel them.
This time he didn't ask for help. The autumn harvest will be tomorrow and everyone has their own things to do.
Let's not talk about the Chen sisters. They have to sew gloves. Shen Zhaodi is about the same. Only Zhou Chaoyang is tough. He is a grown man who doesn't need gloves.
I believe that after tomorrow, he will regret what he said today.
Zhou Ziwen is shelling camellia seeds, while the Chen sisters are busy cooking in the kitchen.
Because we are eating fish today, we don’t need to cook other dishes. We only need to heat up the Erhe noodle steamed buns.
The steamed buns at home are usually steamed in the morning and steamed for one day at a time, so that they only need to be heated at noon and evening.
The two sisters are quick with their hands and feet, and the food is ready quickly.
When Chen Qiaoyi came to Zhou Ziwen’s yard to ask him to eat, he hadn’t peeled many camellia seeds yet.
"It smells so good, sister, your craftsmanship is so good!"
As soon as he came to the kitchen, Zhou Ziwen started to praise.
He smelled the fragrance just now when he was still next door.
The stir-fried sauerkraut has a fishy flavor. Before he even started eating it, he knew it would taste very good.
Chen Shiying's cooking skills were already good, but after Zhou Ziwen's occasional suggestions, her cooking skills improved even more.
Of course, for Zhou Ziwen, he doesn’t have to do it himself. Even if his cooking skills are not good, he will still enjoy the meal very happily.
"Just coax me!" Chen Shiying gave him a roll of her eyes, not believing his lies at all. Of course, she was very happy to be praised like this. No, her steps were much lighter.
Talking and laughing, dinner time passed quickly.
Zhou Ziwen returned to his yard and continued shelling camellia seeds.
“Brother Ziwen, guess what I picked up?”
While Zhou Ziwen was busy, Chen Qiaoyi suddenly ran over happily.
“Did you find the money?” Zhou Ziwen deliberately guessed wrong.
"No, you guess again." Chen Qiaoyi smiled and shook his head.
"What is that?" Zhou Ziwen frowned, looking like he couldn't guess.
“Dang dang dang, it’s an egg.” Chen Qiaoyi smiled and stretched out her hand to reveal the egg.
"Hey, our chickens laid eggs?"
Zhou Ziwen stood up in surprise, his acting skills were flawless.
"Yes, I didn't expect that the old hens sent by Sister Zhou and her family could actually lay eggs." Chen Qiaoyi was also very surprised.
The old hens that lay eggs are the treasures of the family. She did not expect that Sister Zhou and her family would be so generous and send all the old hens that lay eggs.
"Yes, this is a huge favor. I'll go see Sister Zhou another day." Zhou Ziwen said.
Actually, he still has an idea, but that will have to wait until his medical level is high. Speaking it out at this time will have no effect.
"Yes." Chen Qiaoyi nodded heavily.
This will greatly increase her affection for Sister Zhou in her heart.
The little sister of the Chen family was very happy when she picked up an egg. No, she just stayed with Zhou Ziwen for a while and ran back to her home to show off to Chen Shiying.
“This girl.” Zhou Ziwen looked at her jumping away with some fondness.
Lifting back to the stone bench, Zhou Ziwen continued to work. When it was getting dark, he tidied up a little, took a shower and went to bed.
After a night of silence, Zhou Ziwen woke up to the sound of gongs in the village the next morning.
Looking at his watch, he found that today's gong was half an hour earlier than before.
After getting up, Zhou Ziwen moved his body a little. The autumn harvest started today, and he also needed to conserve some strength.
After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters came to the production team to assemble.
On the high platform of Shai Guchang, the captain was up there to encourage everyone's morale.
“Folks, today is the day of our autumn harvest. Whether we can have a good year depends on this autumn harvest.”
"I hope that everyone will work together, show the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and fatigue, and take advantage of the good weather these days to quickly collect all our food."
"Everyone must pay attention to your own safety and obey Don’t be reckless in the arrangements of your respective captains, let alone be lazy.”
“In this important period, if you let me know who is lazy, see how I will deal with you.”
He said. At that time, the captain glanced towards the Educated Youth Academy.
Some educated youths who usually like to be lazy lower their heads with guilty conscience, while those who don't like to be lazy also have expressions of concentration.
They all understood that this was the captain warning them!
"Don't worry, captain, we will not be lazy. Whoever is lazy is the grandson."
"Yes, the grandson is lazy."
The villagers in the audience they said loudly.
This food belongs to them, and it will be harvested soon. Who would be lazy at this time?
Next, the captain began to assign tasks. (End of this chapter)
