Seeing that the weather is getting colder, he plans to build the bathroom first.
If you have time, of course you can go up the mountain with the escort.
Although the meat for the winter has been saved, no one would like too much meat.
It costs money to buy pork in the county seat, and it is unnecessary.
If you rely on mountains and rivers, you must rely on water. Since you have this ability, you must make good use of it.
And he also wants to get more prey. When the time comes, he will have the courage to go to the black market after learning how to shoot.
He is still very cautious about such a legendary place.
After all, you only have one life, so you must be fully prepared.
In the past few years in the countryside, he planned to make more money. When he returned to the city in a few years, he would need funds no matter what he was doing or doing.
Be prepared for a rainy day, these things need to be prepared in advance.
"Okay, I'll come over and ask. If you don't have time, forget it. Anyway, there are plenty of opportunities later."
Seeing how busy Zhou Ziwen was in the yard, Zhang Yang also knew that Zhou Ziwen couldn't leave.
"Then..."
But then, Zhang Yang hesitated to speak.
"Brother Zhang, tell me if you have something to say." Zhou Ziwen also noticed that he had something to say!
"My brother is getting married tomorrow, this..." Zhang Yang was still a little embarrassed when he said this.
Although it had been agreed upon at the beginning, seeing how busy Zhou Ziwen was here, he found it difficult to speak.
"Having a banquet, right? It's no problem. I don't have to worry about it. I can do it at any time. We can't delay the wedding."
Seeing Zhang Yang's look, Zhou Ziwen said something I understood what he meant and smiled on the spot.
"Would this be too much trouble?" Zhang Yang hesitated.
Zhou Ziwen was a person that even their captain wanted to befriend, so naturally he didn't want to offend him.
"No trouble." Zhou Ziwen shook his head.
It’s just a meal, and it doesn’t take long. If you delay for half a day, you can still go home and work in the afternoon.
According to his progress, the stones to build the bathroom can be processed today, and only need to be built tomorrow.
Well, when we were building it, we had to call Master Chen over and ask him to help with the inspection.
"Thank you, Team Leader Zhou." After hearing this, Zhang Yang hurriedly thanked him.
"Haha, Brother Zhang, don't call me team leader. You are older than me. You can call me Ziwen or Xiaozhou. It sounds friendly." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
As for the title of team leader, although sometimes the villagers also call it this way, Zhou Ziwen is still not used to it.
For him, it doesn’t matter what he shouts, the key is his status in the hearts of everyone.
At least in his opinion, the villagers are quite enthusiastic towards him.
"Then I'll call you Ziwen too!" Zhang Yang didn't dare to call him Xiao Zhou, so he changed his name to a more suitable one.
“That’s right.” Zhou Ziwen nodded and smiled.
After receiving Zhou Ziwen's reply, Zhang Yang felt relieved.
After roughly deciding on the dishes and time, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Today they have to continue going up the mountain, and the escort is waiting there!
But before leaving, he also invited the Chen sisters, Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang.
They did not refuse the invitation and promised to go tomorrow.
Shen Zhaodi and Chen Qiaoyi are both people who like to join in the fun. Someone is getting married in the village, and they also want to see it.
Speaking of which, they are the only ones who have received such an invitation.
Foreign educated youths like them would not be called when the village holds a banquet.
Of course, this is not a dislike, but a lack of friendship.
Now is not the future. Getting married at this time is actually quite simple. At most, close relatives and friends of both parties are invited, and most of the time, even neighbors in the village are not invited. Usually they give out some wedding candies, wedding cigarettes, melon seeds and peanuts.
The person receiving the wedding candy will also say a few words of blessing and get to know the new wife.
"Brother Zhou, how much gift is appropriate for us to give?" Zhou Chaoyang asked after Zhang Yang left.
"A two-dollar red envelope is enough." Zhou Ziwen thought for a moment and said.
Actually, two yuan in red envelopes is already a lot. Generally speaking, even for relatives and friends, the gift is only fifty cents.
Some will also add eggs, red dates and the like.
Zhou Ziwen is not going to give away souvenirs, so he might as well pay a little more.
"Okay, then I'll give you two yuan." Zhou Chaoyang nodded, not thinking that two yuan was a lot.
Among them, Shen Zhaodi's conditions were slightly worse.
But those who can afford to build a house, Shen Zhaodi is not short of money.
As long as she doesn’t spend money lavishly, her savings will be enough for a long time.
As for Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters, they are basically self-sufficient now. Except for some necessary daily necessities, they don't spend much money at other times.
I won’t mention Zhou Chaoyang, this guy is the richest among them, he is generous and he is not short of money.
"Should I not give it away?" Chen Qiaoyi asked.
"Well, I'll just give it away." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Chen Qiaoyi is his daughter-in-law, and he will be responsible for all the reception and transportation in the future.
While chatting, they were not idle either. Zhou Chaoyang was responsible for dismantling the toilet, while the Chen sisters and Shen Zhaodi were responsible for cleaning up the garbage.
When the house was first built, rammed earth walls were used. This kind of wall is very strong and will not break down for decades. However, no matter how strong it is, it is made of earth and it is not difficult to dismantle it.
Zhou Chaoyang took a hammer and smashed it into pieces in a few blows.
Everyone spent the next day busy.
It only took one day for Zhou Ziwen to finish processing the stone.
I just have to wait until I have free time tomorrow to build the bathroom.
One thing worth mentioning is that his stonemason skills have also been upgraded.
[Mason LV4 (9/400)]
Although the fourth-level mason skill is not very beneficial, it is almost the same as those of master masons who have been working for more than ten years.
Of course, with his skills, he is definitely incomparable to Master Chen.
According to his estimation, Master Chen's stonemason skill level should be at level five, close to level six.
In the evening, Zhou Ziwen personally cooked a sumptuous meal for Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang.
Today they came over to work for free for a day, and they had to take care of their food no matter what.
Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang are used to coming here to eat, but Zhou Ziwen cooks in person, which still makes them very happy.
Zhou Ziwen's cooking skills can stand the test. To them, the dishes he cooks are more delicious than those cooked by restaurants outside.
Even the Chen sisters are looking forward to it.
One is because you can eat delicious food, and the other is because you can observe Zhou Ziwen’s cooking methods in person.
Although their purposes are different, their expressions of anticipation are the same.
Due to time constraints, Zhou Ziwen did not cook too complicated dishes.
I made braised beef, pan-fried lamb chops, stir-fried badger meat, and then added two vegetarian dishes and a soup.
A simple meal is indeed a dish that many families in this era cannot eat during the New Year. (End of this chapter)
