Along the way home, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang did not alarm anyone.
Think about it, it’s almost dinner time, everyone is cooking at home, who wants to hang out?
And the weather outside was so cold that everyone wanted to stay on the kang all the time without even leaving the door.
"Brother Zhou, you have gained a lot today. It would be great if you could gain so much every time you go up the mountain." Zhou Chaoyang said a little greedily.
“With Cloud Stepping here, there will be gains for sure, but it’s hard to say whether we will encounter so many prey next time.” Zhou Ziwen smiled and shook his head.
The prey on the mountain is not always available.
This time it was also because it had just snowed, and some animals had not yet had time to hibernate. If they had waited a little longer, they would probably encounter fewer prey.
However, Sandao Mountain is rich in resources, and not every animal needs to hibernate. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to encounter it.
As soon as he got home, Tayun ran home excitedly, as if there was something good at home.
Zhou Ziwen can understand. This is the first time that the little guy has been away from home for so long, and it is normal to be a little homesick.
At the gate of the yard, Zhou Ziwen didn't waste any time, just like Zhou Chaoyang, he waved his hand and went home.
They are all so familiar, so there is no need to be polite.
“Brother Ziwen, you are back!”
Before entering the door, Chen Qiaoyi hurriedly ran out from inside.
Behind her, there was Chen Shiying with flour on her hands.
Apparently, Tayun had just returned home to let them know that he was back.
"Well, the escort team has a good harvest today. Look, it's all meat." Zhou Ziwen raised the sack in his hand.
“Really, it looks like there’s a lot of stuff in it!” Chen Qiaoyi looked at the big lump bulging inside the sack, feeling a little surprised.
Zhou Ziwen told them before that this time they went up the mountain just to join in the fun and learn experience, but they didn’t expect that they would get a share of meat.
But thinking about Zhou Ziwen's usual excellent performance, they had some understanding.
An outstanding person like Zhou Ziwen always stands out no matter where he goes. It doesn't matter if he can get some meat back.
"There is a badger and a piece of sika deer meat. I have never eaten these things. Let's try them." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
I have to say that there are advantages to being in this era. Many wild animals can be eaten, and it is not illegal. Unlike in later generations, this cannot be eaten, that cannot be touched, and even catching a snake is illegal. .
"What does a badger look like? Let me see." Upon hearing about a badger, Chen Qiaoyi suddenly became curious.
“Look!” Zhou Ziwen opened the sack and took out the badger inside.
"It turns out that a badger looks like this!"
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying came over to take a closer look. They had never seen such an animal before.
How should I put it, the badger has a head that looks like a dog, and it doesn’t look ugly. It’s no wonder that Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying are both in high spirits.
"Have you finished reading? There is also a piece of sika deer meat here. Sister, have you cooked anything? How about we eat this later?" Zhou Ziwen also took out the sika deer meat from the sack.
"Working on it." Chen Shiying answered.
"That's perfect. Let's eat sika venison today!" Zhou Ziwen said.
He was curious about the taste of sika deer meat and wanted to taste it.
"How to eat?" Chen Shiying asked.
“Let’s braise it in braised pork. Don’t we still have a lot of potatoes at home? Just use potatoes to roast meat.” Zhou Ziwen thought for a while and felt that braised pork should taste good.
“Okay, give it to me, I’ll do it.”
Seeing this rare meat, Chen Shiying also became interested.
"Okay." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
He is very familiar with Chen Shiying's cooking skills and feels at ease with her.
After all, it’s just roasted meat. You just need to deal with the smell of the sika deer.
Generally speaking, wild animals are very rotten and need to be treated, otherwise they will taste very rotten and not as delicious as imagined.
But if done right, it’s a delicious dish. After a busy day, Zhou Ziwen didn't want to move anymore. After cleaning himself a little, he lay on the warm kang and didn't want to move.
While the two sisters were cooking in the kitchen, Zhou Ziwen opened the hang-up panel and started to check it out.
【Bajiquan LV8(178/800)】
【Dog Training LV3(85/300)】
[Trap Making LV2 (78/200)]
[Carpentry LV2 (5/200)]
After two days, his various skills have greatly improved.
After today's study, his trap skill proficiency is close to half, and he will be able to break through level three in a few days.
The carpentry skill has also successfully reached level two. This level is equivalent to a first glimpse of the door. It is no problem to make some tables and benches with low requirements.
It is even easier for someone like Zhou Ziwen to decorate his house with wooden boards.
However, if you want to be more artistic and carve some patterns, the level 2 woodworking level is still too low.
If you want to make it look better, you need to be at least level three.
Fortunately, it would only take a few days to reach level three. He calculated the time and found that when the house was decorated, it would be almost the Chinese New Year.
It’s totally in time.
While resting on the kang, he also carefully perceived the carpentry knowledge in his mind.
Although by hanging up, this knowledge was subtly stored in his mind, as if he already knew it, and this knowledge just suddenly occurred to him.
But only he himself knows this knowledge, which he originally did not know.
The reason why we need to recall it carefully is just to savor these skills that we suddenly learned.
“Brother Ziwen, is it fun on the mountain?”
During dinner, Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously.
She was curious about Zhou Ziwen’s experience in the mountains.
"It's okay. If you want to experience it, I'll take you up the mountain in a few days." Zhou Ziwen didn't know what to say.
To say that the mountains are fun, he actually feels a bit boring.
It’s not fun, I feel very happy every time I gain something.
For example, over at Sandao Mountain, he found a lot of herbs today. Although they are not particularly precious, they are still of some value.
If you are leisurely, you can also collect these herbs and sell them in the county.
Although it cannot be sold for a big price, it can still be used to subsidize the family.
Zhou Ziwen plans to go to the mountains more often when he has time to make money, so don’t be embarrassed.
“Can we go too?” Chen Qiaoyi’s eyes lit up and she felt a little moved.
She was afraid of delaying Zhou Ziwen's affairs.
"Of course you can go. Next time I will take you to Erdao Mountain!" Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
He was not familiar with the situation at Sandao Mountain, but there was no problem at Erdao Mountain.
During this period, he also went to Erdao Mountain several times. Unless he was very unlucky, he would rarely encounter ferocious animals.
And you are not afraid even if you encounter him. With his strength, he is enough to protect the safety of the two sisters.
"Great, Brother Ziwen, I want to go with you."
Hearing this, Chen Qiaoyi almost jumped with joy.
She just wanted to go out with Zhou Ziwen. During this period, staying at home was too boring. (End of this chapter)
