"Brother Ziwen, where is the tiger? I haven't seen the tiger yet!"
Tang Yaoyao stood on tiptoes, but because she was too small, she couldn't see it even if she jumped.
Because the place where Tiger was staying was already crowded with people on three floors inside and three outside.
"The tiger is over there. There are too many people here and you can't squeeze in. If you really want to see it, you can come early in the afternoon when you go to work."
" This tiger will be kept here for a long time and will be dealt with in the afternoon.”
Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.
"Okay, I'll see you again in the afternoon."
Tang Yaoyao said a little disappointed.
In all her life, she has never seen a real tiger.
Now that she had this opportunity, she still had to wait. She couldn't wait any longer.
"Let's go home first."
Zhou Ziwen stretched out his hand, and a group of people followed his footsteps and rushed home together.
On the way, everyone was talking and laughing, and asked him about the details of hunting tigers from time to time.
To these, Zhou Ziwen answered one by one.
Although his answer was a bit understated, the Chen sisters and Shen Zhaodi both knew that when fighting a tiger, the scene would definitely be thrilling.
After all, this is a tiger, not a gadget like a hare.
All the way home, everyone was busy.
Zhou Ziwen was busy skinning the hare, while Chen Shiying and the others boiled water to remove the feathers from the pheasant.
There are also hedgehogs that need to be dealt with.
When Zhou Ziwen finished taking care of the hare, the water on Chen Shiying's side was also boiled.
Cut the hare meat into cubes, cover it with water in a pot, and then take it out.
After cleaning the dirt on the rabbit meat, pour the oil, heat it over high heat, and start frying the rabbit meat.
Whoosh!
The aroma of green onions hits your face, mixed with the meaty aroma of rabbit meat, and the spicy taste is very strong.
Being busy, a meal is ready quickly.
Although she only stayed at Zhou Ziwen's house for two days, Tang Yaoyao was already used to their luxurious life.
There is meat every day, and there are different kinds of meat, and they are eaten in different ways.
She had never enjoyed this kind of treatment before going to the countryside!
"Brother Ziwen, Uncle Wu told me today that the construction of the house will start tomorrow. If it goes quickly, it will be completed in about a week."
While eating, Tang Yaoyao said.
"Well, this speed is quite fast. Our house also took several days."
Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"I hope this house can be built later, so that I can have more meals at your house."
Tang Yaoyao grimaced, feeling a little embarrassed to always have meals. , and on the other hand, I can't stand the temptation of delicious food.
This puts her in a difficult position.
"Haha, if you want to eat well in the future, you can come and join us. Of course, we are companions, and we can't eat for free!"
Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"That's impossible. I, Tang Yaoyao, am an upright person and will never eat for free."
Tang Yaoyao promised, patting her chest.
“That’s enough!”
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded.
Through these few days of contact, Tang Yaoyao left a pretty good impression on him.
Although she talks a little too much and likes to be arrogant, she is still a cute little girl at heart.
But friends are friends, and freeloading is definitely not an option.
Just like Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang, although they often come here to have a meal, they never come empty-handed.
Even if I messed up at the time, I would find a way to make up for it later.
Favors come and go only if they come and go.
……
After going to work in the afternoon, Zhou Ziwen was not in a hurry.
He first went around the ginseng field and checked the growth of ginseng and vegetable seeds.
After finding that everything was normal, he wandered over to the production team. Now everyone went to work, and Tiger was dragged to the place where he usually cooks a big pot of rice.
Several aunts and uncles in the village were busy setting up stoves, boiling water and washing pots.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen coming, everyone immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
“Zhou Zhiqing, you are here!”
"Zhou Zhiqing, you are too strong. You dare to kill such a big tiger. You are much stronger than that man in my family."
"Zhou Zhiqing, this tiger skin is a good thing. Be careful when peeling it off. "Don't mess it up."
......
Knowing that Zhou Ziwen was here to deal with the tiger, an aunt warned him.
“Well, no problem, I can skin the tiger skin.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded seriously.
Tiger skin is a good thing. Even if you don’t do anything, it is good to just keep it and collect it.
He planned to ask Uncle Wu later to see if he knew anyone who tanned leather.
Although he can peel the skin, he cannot handle the skin.
Tiger skin is very precious, and he doesn’t feel at ease unless he finds someone reliable.
Fortunately, there are many people in the countryside who know how to tan. If you ask Wu Dagang for an introduction, you should be able to find someone who is good at tanning.
It is actually not troublesome to handle such a big tiger.
The only trouble is to be careful when peeling.
Other than that, it’s not much different from killing a pig.
Zhou Ziwen didn't ask for help. He went directly to the tool room of the production team to find a hook for killing pigs. After tying the hook firmly to a tree, he hung the tiger on the hook.
The tiger weighing four to five hundred kilograms was very easy in his hands, requiring no effort at all.
Knowing that Zhou Ziwen was coming, Wu Dagang and the team leader also ran out to watch the fun.
Especially the captain, he was afraid that Zhou Ziwen could not peel off the skin well and wasted a good thing.
Fortunately, the captain's worries are unnecessary.
Zhou Ziwen’s level 7 cooking skills are no joke.
Handling the ingredients just gives people a smooth feeling.
Whether it is the strength or the angle of the knife, it is so impeccable.
"Yes, he is indeed the famous chef in our Dabazi Village."
Looking at Zhou Ziwen's smooth skinning movements, the captain nodded involuntarily.
“Haha, I’m not much of a chef.”
Zhou Ziwen kept moving his hands and the tiger's fur was quickly separated.
“You should be humble, kid!”
The captain laughed and scolded.
......
Zhou Ziwen moved very quickly, and a piece of tiger skin was quickly peeled off.
"Uncle Wu, do we have anyone here who is good at tanning leather? I don't know if this thing should make me famous?"
After peeling off the tiger skin, Zhou Ziwen asked Wu Dagang.
“There are many people in our village who are good at tanning leather, but if you want to say the skill is good, you have to be Zhao Xiazi from Zhaojia Village next door.”
Wu Dagang lit his pipe and started to smoke out of habit. Two mouthfuls.
"Blind Zhao?"
Zhou Ziwen thought about it for a moment, but had no impression of the name.
"Zhao Xiazi used to be a hunter, and leather tanning is also an ancestral craft. For your tiger skin, he is the right person."
Wu Dagang explained.
"Great, then I will go find him tomorrow."
Zhou Ziwen said hurriedly.
"Well, when you go, first find the captain of Zhaojiacun and ask him to take you there. They still owe you a favor!"
Wu Dagang gave instructions.
The favor he was talking about was naturally the fact that other villages sent people over to learn how to grow mushrooms.
"Yeah, okay." Zhou Ziwen nodded. (End of this chapter)
