In the yard, Zhou Ziwen was chopping sweet potatoes. After cutting, he had to grind them.
Fortunately, he has a stone mill at home, so he doesn't have to go to the village's public mill.
After these days of hard work, Zhou Ziwen dug more than 400 kilograms of sweet potatoes. This time, he used a hundred kilograms to make sweet potato starch.
One hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes may sound like a lot, but it is actually not much. After he peeled and chopped them, it filled two buckets.
We were running out of time today, so Zhou Ziwen added water to the bucket and prepared to soak the sweet potatoes first to prevent them from oxidizing if left for too long.
When he finished his work and came out, Chen Yang's shout rang outside the door.
"Brother Chen, why are you here?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
"Haha, I'm here to thank Brother Ziwen. If it weren't for you and Chen Zhiqing's help, this spot might not be mine!" Chen Yang said gratefully.
"Hey, it's all trivial." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand, showing all his gratitude to him.
Honestly, Chen Yang should really thank them. If they hadn't voted all for Chen Yang, there's no telling who would have gotten this spot!
"Brother Ziwen, I won't say much else. In this way, I will take a leave tomorrow and go to the county to buy some materials. When I come back, I will host and treat everyone to a meal." Chen Yang was not polite and went straight to the practical side. of.
"Okay, Brother Chen, this is indeed worthy of celebration, so we won't be polite." Zhou Ziwen did not refuse.
Actually, it doesn’t matter whether you eat or not, it mainly depends on Chen Yang’s attitude.
Although it was a joke, Chen Yang had already agreed to treat them to dinner.
"Haha, I should, but I need to borrow your stove then. As you know, cooking is not very convenient where we are." Chen Yang laughed boldly, and then felt a little embarrassed. said.
"No problem, let's cook it at Yiyi's house. The stove here hasn't been turned on yet!" Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.
"It has to be Brother Ziwen! Just now when we arrived in the countryside, we found a partner as handsome as Chen Zhiqing. Now we don’t even have to cook. The life you are leading makes us all envious. "Chen Yang was very envious of Zhou Ziwen.
With such beautiful women as the Chen sisters, who doesn’t have something in mind?
But Zhou Ziwen started too quickly. He had only been in the countryside for a few days and before everyone was familiar with him, he took down Chen Qiaoyi. I couldn’t accept it!
Actually, it’s not that Chen Shiying has no idea.
But these people were either rejected by Chen Shiying, or were intimidated by Zhou Ziwen.
From the beginning, Zhou Ziwen quietly promoted that he practiced boxing.
As more and more things are shown later, no one dares to mess with him at all.
Not to mention, now he has become the leader of the mushroom team, and the production team also values him very much.
Anyone who is not a fool knows that he cannot be messed with.
Regardless of his influence in the village or his personal force, no one dares to provoke him easily.
After chatting with Chen Yang for a while and confirming the time for tomorrow’s dinner party, Chen Yang wisely said goodbye and left.
"Chen Yang, this kid is a bit interesting." Looking at Chen Yang's excited figure, Zhou Ziwen felt a little funny.
Chen Yang is a smart man with high emotional intelligence and a willingness to specialize. He will definitely be a figure in the future.
Zhou Ziwen doesn't care what happens to him in the future, he just thinks he is a pretty good person.
Seeing that the sun had set outside and the sky was gradually getting dark, Zhou Ziwen called to Tayun at his feet and walked with him to the yard next door.
The Chen sisters, Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang are still busy at this moment.
The green cabbage they brought back has been cut into shreds, and it is almost done now.
What they want to do is dry pickles. The shredded pickles need to be pickled with salt to pick out the moisture inside, and then placed in the sun to dry to remove some of the moisture. When the water is almost removed, you can add the seasonings.
However, due to time constraints, they only had time to cut the green cabbage heads into shreds and not do anything else.
"Brother Ziwen, have you finished your work over there?" Chen Qiaoyi looked at his man, her eyes following his figure.
“It’s almost done. I’ll grind the sweet potatoes into fine pieces tomorrow and let them settle for a few days.” Zhou Ziwen answered.
In fact, if you want to make sweet potato starch, there are other steps later, but that is a matter later, and we will wait until we get to that step.
"Where are you here? Are you done?" Then Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Well, let's marinate it today and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow." Chen Shiying on the side replied.
"Everyone, go to bed early. We have to harvest mushrooms tomorrow." After saying this, Zhou Ziwen looked at Chen Qiaoyi and said, "Yiyi, let's take a look at the chickens in the backyard."
< br>In front of everyone, he definitely couldn't call Yiyi back to his house. It didn't matter that he was thick-skinned, but he was just afraid that the little sister of the Chen family would be shy.
As for going to the backyard to see the chickens, that's just an excuse.
Chen Qiaoyi is naturally familiar with Zhou Ziwen and knew it was an excuse as soon as he heard it.
However, the girl pretended not to understand, followed him obediently, and left with him.
Behind her, Chen Shiying glanced at the two people leaving with a normal expression.
Besides, Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang lowered their heads and bickered every sentence, very sensible.
When Zhou Ziwen was taking Yiyi back to the house.
Four-nine cities.
Zhou Ziwen’s hometown.
Zhou Ziwen’s father and mother were looking at the letters in their hands with joy on their faces.
Besides, Zhou Ziwen’s eldest and second brothers, eldest and second sisters-in-law, eldest and second sisters, and Zhou Xiaomei all gathered together.
The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law have big bellies, and it looks like they are about to give birth.
"Ziwen, why didn't you tell us about such a big thing like getting married earlier? If you had told us earlier, I would have gone to Dabazi Village myself." My mother complained, but her face glowed with joy.
In their family, Zhou Ziwen is the most favored, and even Zhou Xiaomei cannot compare to him in this regard.
In the eyes of Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, even if what Zhou Ziwen did was ridiculous, they would not blame him.
Hearing that Zhou Ziwen was getting married soon, Zhou’s mother’s first reaction was happiness.
"What are you doing there? Didn't Ziwen say that he was living a good life there? Didn't he even send roe deer meat this time? Let me see, that boy is living a good life. It's more moisturizing than us!" Dad Zhou's face was dull, but if you look carefully, you can see that he is also very happy.
"Yes, Mom, the other side of Heijiang is too far, and you are unfamiliar with the place. It is not safe in the past." Zhou Ziwen's eldest brother also advised him.
"You know what the hell, my son is suffering in the countryside! I'm going to see what's wrong with him? I also want to see my daughter-in-law." Zhou's mother glared at her eldest son angrily.
Zhou Jianhua: "..."
Why does he feel like he is not his mother's son?
"My little brother is still so young, why did he get married?" The second brother Zhou Guohua on the side was a little confused.
He knew that his younger brother was dating someone, but he never thought that he would get married so soon. He was not yet old enough!
"Why are you so small? When I was Ziwen's age, I already had your big brother." Zhou's mother said proudly. (End of this chapter)
