This afternoon, Zhou Ziwen has been staying in the quarry.
Zhou Ziwen was quick with his hands and feet, and it took only two hours to quarry the required stones.
The next step is carving and polishing.
Zhou Ziwen has relatively high requirements for stone slabs. At least the exposed side must be basically smooth.
It is easy to clean only if it is polished and smooth. It will also be convenient to dry things outside in the future.
If it gets dirty, just rinse it with water and you're done.
His masonry skills have reached level three, which is close to level four. Although his craftsmanship level is still somewhat behind Master Chen, it is not much different from those masons who have been practicing for several years.
For ordinary people, this kind of craftsmanship is already very powerful. Outside, no matter where you go, you can be called "Master".
Such craftsmanship, used to create floors for paving the ground, can only be described as oversized materials and undersized materials.
After half a day, Zhou Ziwen has completed half of it, and it is estimated that it will be completed in another half day.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Ziwen packed up and went home.
As soon as he returned to the yard, he saw his wife collecting dried sweet potatoes.
It seems that the two sisters were not idle during the long time he went to the quarry!
“I’ve made so many dried sweet potatoes! Can you finish them?” Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Hmm, I like to eat dried sweet potatoes. I will definitely eat them all." Chen Qiaoyi nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, if you like it, cook more. We have a lot of sweet potatoes at home." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"That's enough. There are so many dried sweet potatoes. You can put some in them when you make porridge later." Chen Qiaoyi explained.
"Just look at the arrangements."
Zhou Ziwen never paid attention to such trivial matters, it was the two sisters who were in charge.
"Brother Ziwen, are you tired? Wash your face first. I'll fetch water."
People who have a daughter-in-law are different. No, there are people who care about him when he gets home, someone who rubs his shoulders when he is tired, and someone who cooks when he is hungry. He just needs to rest in the yard.
After washing his face, Zhou Ziwen strolled to the yard next door.
At this moment, Chen Shiying's yard was still drying potato vermicelli. Zhou Ziwen touched it and found that it was almost dry. It is estimated that they will be harvested after one day of drying tomorrow.
"Ziwen, are these vermicelli edible? Do you want to taste them tonight?"
Chen Shiying, who was preparing to cook, came out of the kitchen and saw Zhou Ziwen checking the potatoes. Vermicelli, she asked casually.
"It's edible. It's better to eat it at this time. You don't need to soak it. Just put it in the pot."
"How about making spicy and sour potato noodles? This is delicious."
Zhou Ziwen nodded and suggested.
"Okay." Chen Shiying agreed, and then took a handful of potato vermicelli.
She can make hot and sour noodles without Zhou Ziwen’s teaching.
After Chen Shiying returned to the kitchen to cook, Zhou Ziwen returned to his yard and lay on the deck chair to rest leisurely.
"Brother Ziwen, tea is here!"
While Zhou Ziwen was resting, Chen Qiaoyi brought a cup of tea over.
“Thank you.”
Zhou Ziwen found that after marrying this girl, his treatment was better.
No, you don’t even have to make the tea yourself.
Lying on the chair, Zhou Ziwen opened the idle panel and looked at it.
【Bajiquan LV7(698/700)】
【Mushroom Planting LV6(111/600)】
【Medical Skill LV1(29/1000)】
【Dog Training LV2(122/200)】【Trap Making LV1(1/100)】
【Cooking LV5(2/500)】
In panel , Baji Quan only needs the last two points of proficiency to be upgraded.
Trap making has also officially started, reaching level one.
After getting started, he can already make some smaller traps.
If you are lucky, you might be able to trap a rabbit or a pheasant or something.
“After dinner, go up the mountain and try it later.”
The new skill upgrade made Zhou Ziwen feel eager to try it.
Although he had only killed two wild boars earlier, they had already eaten almost all the food for the banquet, and he did not leave much for himself.
In order not to eat everything, he felt it was necessary to hunt for more prey.
Especially now that he has learned how to make traps, he only needs to go to the mountain to make a few fixed traps, and then go up and observe them every day.
If you are lucky, you can encounter prey.
When the trap making skill level is higher in the future, there will be a greater chance of harvesting prey.
His requirements are not high. He can just get a hare every now and then.
Before long, Chen Qiaoyi came to call him to eat.
While eating, everyone exchanged letters received today.
In their letters, they all mentioned the marriage of Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi.
He also read the letter Chen Qiaoyi received. It was nothing more than some instructions, asking Chen Qiaoyi to take good care of her man in the future and not to act petty.
Except for my father-in-law who is a little aggrieved, everyone else is quite supportive of them.
"Brother Ziwen, didn't you say you wanted to take photos earlier? My mother wrote in a letter and said she wanted to see what you look like." During the meal, Chen Qiaoyi said.
"Okay, let's go tomorrow. Let's write the letters we need to answer tonight and go to the city early tomorrow morning." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
In fact, he also wanted his family to see what Chen Qiaoyi looked like. Of course, there was definitely a need to show off.
If you marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law, why don’t you show off?
"My sister and I have already written it, all we need is your own." Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.
"Then I'll write it tonight." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen took an ax and a shovel, some wire and rope, and set off from home with Tayun.
It was not dark outside yet, so he was going to set up a few traps on the mountain.
Driving all the way, Zhou Ziwen quickly reached the top of Niutou Mountain, but this position was not enough. He continued down until he reached the valley where he encountered wild boars.
However, the wild boars are no longer here. They were probably frightened by what happened last time and are not ready to come back.
Zhou Ziwen took a look at the river ditch in the middle of the valley and felt that it was just the right place to set up a trap.
Generally speaking, wherever there is a water source, there will probably be animals. After all, animals also need to drink water.
And this place is far away from the village. Normally no one would come here. He set up traps and was not afraid of damage, let alone hurting anyone.
Of course, when setting up traps, you must also mark them so that if someone comes over, you can tell them there is a trap here.
After choosing a few better locations on the spot, Zhou Ziwen dug them out with a shovel.
While he was digging the trap, Tayun couldn't stand still and wandered around, looking as if he was planning to encircle his territory.
Seeing that it had not gone far, Zhou Ziwen hardly paid attention to it and continued to dig his trap.
Zhou Ziwen was very fast. In less than half an hour, he had laid three traps.
The three traps are all near the valley. Whether he can catch the prey depends on his luck.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Zhou Ziwen packed up his things and asked Tayun to leave together.
He walked quickly all the way again, and when he returned home, it was already dark outside. (End of this chapter)
