Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

Chapter 125 Making Kimchi

"Aunt Li, are the things ready? Da Chen is still waiting for us at home!"

Seeing that Chen Qiaoyi was too shy to speak, Zhou Ziwen hurriedly helped her out.

As her target, isn't that what she is doing at this time?

"It's been prepared a long time ago. I'll give it to you." Aunt Li came to the corner of the eaves and twisted a sack out.

"There are some carrots and peppers in here, and there are also a few pieces of old ginger, but not much. Are you using them to make kimchi?"

"Yeah, we haven't done it either, we just tried it." Zhou Ziwen took the sack and said.

"It's simple. Just be careful not to get wet. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me." Aunt Li said enthusiastically.

"Ok."

Zhou Ziwen asked Aunt Li to settle the account, then gave the money and chatted for a few words before leaving their house.

"Why did it take you so long to come back! The cooked rice is almost cold."

Sure enough, when the two returned home, Chen Shiying scolded them a few times.

"Oh, Aunt Li is too enthusiastic. She insists on dragging me to chat, but there's nothing I can do about it!"

Women are indeed born actors. No, in front of her sister, Chen Qiaoyi can already find excuses to lie without changing her expression.

"Well, since we're back, let's start the meal quickly. We'll make kimchi later." Chen Shiying didn't bother to worry.

When she saw her sister coming back with Zhou Ziwen, she understood what was going on.

"Okay, eat, eat."

Chen Qiaoyi cheered and hurriedly sat down and started eating.

"Sister, we don't have much wolf meat at home, right?"

Zhou Ziwen sat at the dinner table and asked.

"It's almost gone, only some bones are left." Chen Shiying nodded.

With Zhou Ziwen as a big eater, no amount of meat is enough for him.

In just a few days, a wolf was almost eaten.

"It's okay. I'll go to the mountains in the next two days to see if I can get some meat back." Zhou Ziwen said.

He had his own ideas about how to get the meat.

Although he can't hunt or look for traces of prey, he is strong. The sixth level of Baji Quan gave him strong confidence.

He believed that as long as he did not encounter groups of wild beasts, or wild beasts such as blind bears and tigers, ordinary wild beasts were no match for him.

For this reason, he also thought that next time he went to the mountains, he would not go during the day. It would be best to wait until dark before going.

There was some danger in the mountains after dark, and he was not prepared to go deep into it, so he just stayed on the outskirts of the forest and went a little deeper.

If he encounters a wild beast, he can easily deal with it.

"Then be careful and pay attention to your own safety." Chen Shiying knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she had to keep telling him.

"Don't worry, sister, I won't make fun of my own life." Zhou Ziwen nodded seriously.

He is not the kind of reckless man. Even if he wants to be reckless, he must first have the confidence to do so.

His Bajiquan skill is on hold 24 hours a day, getting stronger every moment, so there is no need to be in such a hurry.

Perhaps it won't be long before Bajiquan reaches the top level, and he will be able to enter and leave the forest at will without fear of danger.

After lunch, the Chen sisters did not rest, but were busy washing the peppers and carrots they had brought from Aunt Li's house.

Zhou Ziwen came to help, but was pushed out by the Chen family girl.

According to them, this is a job for women, and he, a man, should not participate.

Helpless, Zhou Ziwen had no choice but to go back to his home to rest.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is in a good mood, and the smile on his face cannot be hidden at all.

In fact, anyone would be proud to be cared about by two beautiful girls.

And Zhou Ziwen is just a member of the ordinary race.Making kimchi is actually quite simple.

You only need to pay attention to two points. One is that it cannot be stained with oil, whether it is water or kimchi, not at all.

The other is water. The water for making kimchi must be boiled water, not raw water.

As long as you do these two things, the rest is seasoning.

The water for making kimchi needs salt and sesame sugar.

Not to mention salt, sesame sugar can increase the sweetness of kimchi and make the kimchi less spicy.

Kimchi with sesame sugar will taste much better.

In addition, peppercorns are also an important material.

There is no need to buy this thing in particular. Some time ago, Zhou Ziwen found a wild pepper tree in the mountains, but the pepper on it was not yet mature at that time.

In the afternoon, he planned to go and take a look. If they were ripe, he would pick some back.

After lunch break, Zhou Ziwen got up. Before he could go out, the Chen sisters and Shen Zhaodi came to work.

"You will continue to prepare the culture medium in the afternoon. The proportion must be correct." Zhou Ziwen explained.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, we'll handle the matter and we'll make sure there's no problem." Zhou Chaoyang said, patting his chest.

"Okay, I'll go out first." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

He planned to take advantage of his free time today to go to the mountains to cut some firewood and come back to see if the wild peppercorns were ripe.

As for the family, Zhou Ziwen is relieved that the Chen sisters are here.

They are all serious people who work hard and do not need supervision at all.

This is why Zhou Ziwen is willing to contact them. If he were someone who liked to be lazy, he would not get the mushroom group.

With a basket on his back and an ax in hand, Zhou Ziwen started walking up the mountain.

Since he went to the mountains, he also wanted to get some wild vegetables and fruits back. Anyway, it was just a way to pick some wild vegetables and at least he could eat two meals.

The resources on the mountain are so abundant that as long as you are not lazy, you will never starve to death.

Now is not the kind of famine era we used to have, where people chewed tree bark and ate loess in order not to starve to death.

Although we are a little poorer in this era, in the countryside, people are really hungry.

Even the lazy educated youths in the Educated Youth Yard can get their own food.

The only difference is whether it tastes good or not, and whether it contains oil or water.

There are many wild vegetables in the countryside, and many of them are edible, but they don’t taste very good.

Zhou Ziwen walked very quickly and arrived at the outskirts of the mountain forest in a short while.

However, he did not stay at the outer edge of the mountain forest, but went directly into the inner mountain.

For him, as long as he didn't go too deep, there wasn't much danger in the inner mountains.

Of course, it's only during the day. If it's at night, you have to be more careful.

Along the way, if he encountered wild vegetables, mushrooms or the like, he would stop and pick them.

Some of the mushrooms on the mountain are delicious and nutritious.

If you are lucky, you can also pick precious medicinal herbs.

For example, ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum and the like.

Perhaps it was bad luck, but Zhou Ziwen had never encountered him before after going up the mountain so many times.

It is also possible that these precious herbs have been picked by the villagers.

After all, this mountain does not belong to him alone. Although there are no professional herb collectors in Dabazi Village, they will also make a guest appearance during the herb collection season.

If you are lucky, you can pick a few good medicinal plants and sell them for a few yuan or even dozens of yuan.
