"Old Wu, the monument you want has been completed." Master Chen said.
"Great, let's quickly find a time to erect the monument for everyone to see." Wu Dagang said happily.
"Old Wu, don't you know how to look at the date? Do you think it's a good time to erect a monument?"
Master Chen looked at Wu Dagang.
He is very familiar with Wu Dagang's character.
Although he no longer talks about feudal superstitions, he still knows the habit of turning to the almanac whenever he does anything.
"Haha, I have already made a good decision. The first of next month is very suitable."
Wu Dagang took out an almanac from his pocket, turned to one of the pages and read out .
"Lunar calendar date: Bingwu day of Jiaxu month, Jiayin year (September 18th)
Suitable for: marriage, travel, moving, marriage and engagement, moving to a new house, opening a business, entering into an alliance, Breaking ground, praying for blessings, burial, offering sacrifices, breaking ground"
"The 18th day of the ninth lunar month? That's the 1st of next month, right?"
Zhou Ziwen has a good memory and can calculate the time at once.
"To be precise, it should be the first of next month."
Wu Dagang corrected himself.
"That's still early." Zhou Ziwen was a little disappointed.
He will go back to his hometown next month, but he won't be able to wait until the monument is erected in the village.
Wu Dagang said with a smile: "Erecting a monument is a big deal, and you have to choose a good day. Although it takes a long time, it is worth the wait."
Master Chen nodded and said, "That's right. It is auspicious to erect a monument on a good day."
That's okay, I hope the monument can be erected smoothly by then."
Wu Dagang put away the almanac and said, "I will definitely do it." Good luck. By the way, Ziwen, are you going to go home to visit your relatives this year?”
"Well, I'm about to discuss it with Uncle Wu! I've been in the countryside for more than a year, and my parents haven't seen Yiyi yet!"
Zhou Ziwen said.
"It's a good thing to go home and visit relatives. You have to spend time with your family." Master Chen nodded aside.
Zhou Ziwen nodded and said: "I will, thank you for your concern, master."
"What are you going to do at the mushroom cultivation base?" Wu Dagang asked with concern.
He didn't object to Zhou Ziwen going home, but he was worried that if Zhou Ziwen left, if there was a problem at the mushroom cultivation base, no one would be able to deal with it.
"Uncle Wu, I have arranged everything. There are not many mushrooms left in the mushroom group. When we leave, Wang Dayou and Liu Dawei will be watching, so there will be no problem."
< br>Wang Dayou and Liu Dawei were both the first members to follow Zhou Ziwen.
In total, they have been studying for nearly a year.
They have a very clear understanding of the mushroom cultivation process and can also solve some basic problems.
Wu Dagang nodded and said: "That's fine, but you have to arrange your time to ensure that your trip home to visit relatives is not affected."
Zhou Ziwen said: "I will, Uncle Wu. I I plan to leave after paying the food, so that I can stay at home for a while."
"What about your house? Who will look after your house when you leave?"
Master Chen asked.
"Uh..."
This question stopped Zhou Ziwen.
He had been thinking about going home before, but he had forgotten to consider housekeeping.
This place is no better than other places. If no one is watching, and when it snows heavily, if no one takes care of their house, it will definitely be crushed.
"Haha, I know you didn't think about it well, okay, just go ahead and go! We will take care of your family affairs."
Master Chen said.
"Yes, with us watching over you, there won't be any problems."
Wu Dagang also said.
"Thank you, Uncle Wu and Master." Zhou Ziwen thanked him hurriedly.
……
After leaving Master Chen’s house, Zhou Ziwen returned to his own home.
The problem of returning home has been solved. All we have to do next is wait for the village to distribute food.
After the food is distributed in the village, he can go home with his two sisters. After walking around for a while, it was almost noon.
Zhou Ziwen put the soda he bought into the well to freeze, and then began to prepare lunch.
With his full-level cooking skills, he can make delicious dishes even with simple ingredients.
When Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi came back from work, they could smell the aroma of food before they even entered the door.
"Brother Ziwen, we are back, what delicious food did you cook today?" Chen Qiaoyi started shouting as soon as he entered the room.
Zhou Ziwen walked out of the kitchen with a smile and said: "Today I made your favorite twice-cooked pork, and some vegetables."
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi heard that there was twice-cooked pork , eyes lit up.
“Great, twice-cooked pork is my favorite.” Chen Qiaoyi said excitedly.
After washing their hands, the three of them sat at the dining table and started enjoying lunch.
Chen Shiying took a bite of twice-cooked pork and was full of praise: "Ziwen, your cooking skills are getting better and better. This twice-cooked pork is so delicious."
Zhou Ziwen smiled: "You can just eat if you like."
"Brother Ziwen, Zhaodi and the others have made an appointment with us. They will celebrate the festival with us in the evening."
At the dinner table, Chen Qiaoyi said .
"Okay, let's go together. I bought a few bottles of soda and froze them in the well. It's just right to drink at night."
Zhou Ziwen nodded.
“Hey, Brother Ziwen also bought soda?”
Hearing this, Chen Qiaoyi’s eyes lit up.
“You should drink less, drinking too much soda is not good for your health.”
Zhou Ziwen rubbed her head.
“Oh——”
Although a little disappointed, Chen Qiaoyi nodded obediently.
After lunch, Zhou Ziwen and the two sisters took a rest.
When the time was almost up, the two sisters went to work at the mushroom planting base. Zhou Ziwen also got up and started making mooncakes.
Making mooncakes at home is time-consuming, but the advantage is that the ingredients are fresh and you can adjust the fillings according to your own taste.
And Zhou Ziwen feels that the one he makes tastes better, and I believe the two sisters will like it very much.
Zhou Ziwen skillfully prepared the ingredients for the mooncake. He mixed flour, oil and water together, kneaded it into a dough, and then let the dough rest for a while.
Then he began to prepare the fillings, mixing the meat fillings, salted eggs and other ingredients evenly to make delicious fillings.
He divides the dough into small pieces, rolls it into a thin crust, then wraps the filling in it and presses it into shape with a mold. After a while, a moon cake began to take shape.
Zhou Ziwen puts the mooncakes in the oven and bakes them.
Well, the oven is his own. The raw material is stone, which can be heated on the stove.
Not long after, the aroma came from the oven and the mooncakes were baked. Zhou Ziwen took out the mooncakes and placed them on a plate to cool.
Smelling the smell coming from the oven, Zhou Ziwen nodded with satisfaction.
Just from the smell, he knew it was better than the mooncakes bought outside.
Then, he made a lot of mooncakes and prepared to give them to Uncle Wu and others to try.
In the evening, Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi came back from work and smelled the aroma of mooncakes as soon as they entered the door.
“Brother Ziwen, the mooncakes you make are so delicious!” Chen Qiaoyi said excitedly.
Zhou Ziwen said with a smile: "Come and try it and see how it tastes."
The two sisters couldn't wait to pick up the mooncakes and taste them.
"It's delicious, Ziwen. The mooncakes you make are more delicious than those sold outside." Chen Shiying praised.
Chen Qiaoyi also nodded in agreement: "Yes, I like eating it so much."
Zhou Ziwen felt very satisfied when he saw the two sisters happy.
At this time, Shen Zhaodi, Zhou Chaoyang, Tang Yaoyao and others also came to Zhou Ziwen's house.
“Brother Ziwen, we are here!” Shen Zhaodi said.
"Come and try the mooncakes I made." Zhou Ziwen greeted. (End of this chapter)
