Seeing that it was still early, Zhou Ziwen was wandering around the county town.
The environment in Lushan County is somewhat different from that in his hometown.
Although the streets in the county are cement roads, except for the streets, there are basically dirt roads outside.
Various slogans are posted on the walls of the street, showing the characteristics of this era.
There are not many shops on the street, but there are still some that should be there.
While shopping around, Zhou Ziwen also had a lot of things in his hands.
Two kilograms of trough cakes, a few canned fruits, as well as ice cream, Xie Fuchun Osmanthus hair oil, colorful moisturizing butter and so on.
These creams are specially bought for the two sisters.
When I come to the county town, I have to buy something to go back to.
After walking around for a while, it’s almost time.
Just as Zhou Ziwen was about to go back, he suddenly saw a place selling cloth.
Before, he heard Chen Shiying read and wanted to buy cloth to make clothes.
Chen Shiying is very good at needlework. Whether it is sewing clothes or making cloth shoes, her craftsmanship is no worse than those of aunties.
Zhou Ziwen walked over and took a look. There were not many fabrics inside, including plain cotton, corduroy, and the most popular Deng Liang.
Zhou Ziwen doesn’t know much about fabrics, but he also knows that quality is a good thing.
After thinking about it, he spent some money and bought a few pieces of more elegant Doliang.
After buying the cloth, I really have nothing to do now.
Zhou Ziwen pushed his bicycle, and after leaving the city, he got on his horse and sped along.
When he got home, it was still some time before he started work at noon.
While it was still early, Zhou Ziwen prepared to stew some meat.
All the fresh meat at home had been eaten, and the cured meat that had been saved had been sent out. When I went to the cellar, I saw two dried hares left at home.
The roast rabbit eaten yesterday was a bit strong, so Zhou Ziwen decided to make something lighter.
Stewed rabbit meat is also a delicious delicacy.
Stewing rabbit meat does not require many ingredients. You only need to add ginger and green onions to taste.
The air-dried rabbit meat has its own flavor. The unique air-dried taste is a delicacy in itself.
Zhou Ziwen took out the two hares, returned to the kitchen, cleaned the dried rabbits, and then chopped them into small pieces.
After finishing this, the water in the pot is boiling. Pour some water into the pot and pour some Laobaigan to remove the smell.
After busy for a while, the rabbit meat is put into the pot, and time will do the rest.
Just a piece of rabbit meat is definitely not enough. Then, Zhou Ziwen went to the yard to get some side dishes and a few potatoes from the cellar. Today's lunch was complete.
Clean the side dishes, cut the potatoes into shreds, and soak them in water to prevent discoloration. Zhou Ziwen also took some time off.
He came to the yard, made himself a cup of tea, then moved out the deck chair and basked in the sun leisurely.
The sun is shining brightly outside. Although spring has just begun and the temperature outside is not very high, with Zhou Ziwen's physique, the temperature is just right.
The sun in the sky shines on the face, making people feel lazy and unmotivated.
The cool breeze blows, taking away the heat from the body.
The recliner rocked, and after a while, Zhou Ziwen felt sleepy.
While he was in a daze, the announcement of getting off work suddenly sounded.
Zhou Ziwen opened his eyes, stretched, stood up and headed to the kitchen.
The rabbit meat in the pot has been stewed for a while, and the flavor has come out.
The unique aroma of dried meat wafted out, making Zhou Ziwen feel a little hungry.
He added mushrooms and some lighter medicinal herbs to the rabbit meat.
When you smell it, in addition to the refreshing fragrance, there is also a faint medicinal fragrance.
Zhou Ziwen opened the pot and looked at it, and found that the meat in the pot was cooked, and even the soup had turned milky white.
Seeing that the sisters were coming back soon, Zhou Ziwen also started to get busy.
Take out some firewood from the stove next to it and put it on the stove of the large iron pot. After adding a few firewood, the pot began to heat.
Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry over high heat.
A few minutes later, a dish of stir-fried baby cabbage is ready. Just when he was about to continue frying shredded potatoes, the Chen sisters had returned.
“Brother Ziwen, have you finished cooking?”
Chen Qiaoyi’s cheerful voice sounded.
“It’s almost done. There’s only one dish left. Once it’s fried, eat.”
Zhou Ziwen answered while busy.
“Hee hee, thank you for your hard work, Brother Ziwen.”
Chen Qiaoyi’s voice was full of happiness.
"Then you have to reward me well tonight."
Zhou Ziwen said smoothly.
"Hmph!"
Chen Qiaoyi wrinkled her lovely nose, a little embarrassed to speak.
Besides, Chen Shiying looked at the two of them with a smile.
My heart is filled with happiness.
One of them is her beloved man, and the other is her dear sister.
Although their relationship is a bit shady, Chen Shiying feels that it is a very happy thing to be with the person she loves.
Even if she can't follow Zhou Ziwen legitimately in this life, she is willing to do so.
……
Talk and laugh, it’s soon time to eat.
“Brother Ziwen, have you sent all the meat at home?”
Chen Qiaoyi asked in surprise.
Zhou Ziwen nodded, "Yes, we are not short of meat to eat, so I sent a little more."
"Well, you can't send so much, we only have one for each family. There is no more meat.”
Chen Qiaoyi pouted, wanting to say something, but was afraid that Zhou Ziwen would misunderstand.
She knew that Zhou Ziwen had always treated everyone equally, and this time when sending meat, their mother and father would be indispensable.
"It's okay. I'll go to the mountains in the afternoon. If I'm lucky, I might be able to get something good."
Zhou Ziwen said nonchalantly.
In this era, everyone is short of meat. Since he has this ability, he must take care of the family.
As for the water thrown by his married daughter, he didn't care at all.
In his heart, his wife’s parents are his parents.
His daughter, who had been brought up with so much hard work, was scolded by him. What happened to her as a filial piety?
Besides, he even made two in one go.
If his father-in-law and mother-in-law found out, they would probably chop him with a knife.
Be kind to them now, and they will suffer less in the future. This is called preparing for a rainy day and storing up grain to guard against hunger.
Considering that my father-in-law was suffering in the countryside, and with his body as a scholar, it was probably not going to be easy, so he sent a little more meat.
"Ziwen, there is actually no need to send so many."
Chen Shiying also said.
"It's okay, don't you know what I'm capable of? Now that Tayun and Xiaodian have grown up, hunting is easy for me with their help in finding prey."
Zhou Zi Wen waved his hand nonchalantly.
That is to say, there is no time during this period, otherwise he would have gone hunting in the mountains.
With his archery skills, it is no problem to hit the target within 100 meters.
If you encounter large prey, it will be even simpler. Boxing and spear skills will make you invincible in the mountains.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Chen Shiying was a little touched. Zhou Ziwen had paid too much for their family.
If it weren't for Zhou Ziwen, she couldn't imagine what she would be like now. (End of chapter)
