"That's right." Zhou Zhi followed Jiang Shuyi's words and said, "Of course it's best to be perfect, but there's no need to work hard."

"Because at this stage we have just completed the large framework of the knowledge system, and it is not yet the time to peel off the cocoons and refine it."

"Shu Yi, you are the English class representative. Let's use English as an example. To go from seventy to eighty or ninety, we may only need to spend 10 or 20% of our energy."

"But to increase from 90 to 95, or even a full score, it may take 60, 70, 80 or 90% of our energy. Do you think this is true?"

"That's pretty much it."

"So we don't need to do that now. We only need to get 90% of each subject, and the overall results will be very good."

"This is just a guarantee. What's more, we also know that in the future, we will have a full six months longer than others to seize the remaining 10% of time in each subject - as long as we do not waste our existing advantages.

"

"Well. I feel much more at ease now."

"There is nothing to worry about in the first place. With your current preparation, you are enough to cope with the final exam. As the same saying goes, the way of civil and military affairs is to relax one by one."

"But you have to do a lot more things than me. You have to write books and essays, and you also have to read out sentences for "Shuowen Jiezi". By the way, Zhou Zhi, I don't understand why you have to write "Shuowen Jiezi"

Want to read a sentence? I even opened two books in a row."

"Hahaha... Even if I am familiar with and mastered it, two books are not enough. I guess I need to open a few more books... It seems that Yang He is back. Let's go back and cook."

"Zhou Zhi, I can't even cook, am I useless?" On the way down the mountain, Jiang Shuyi started to get confused again.

"I don't know how to clean up yet." Zhou Zhi didn't care: "It bothers me to wash socks. Am I useless too?"

"I can do these."

"You are also very capable of doing delicate and trivial tasks. It seems that you are as good as my father in this regard."

"uncle?"

"Yes, many of the Chinese language papers we make are wax paper carved by my father. They are meticulous from beginning to end. I am really impressed by this kind of skill... Alas, I can only admire them."

"Is this difficult?"

"It's not difficult for people with your temperament, but for me, hehehe..."

"Zhou Zhi, you are very good."

"So Shu Yi, you are also very good."

"Well, then we are all fine."

"Hahahahaha..."

"why are you laughing?"

"I'm happy because you said it so well."

This dinner is simple. There is still a lot of tofu curd left at noon, so use the soup of the eel with green bamboo shoots to make a stewed tofu, a pot of vermicelli made of chicken soup, stir-fry a piece of cabbage with chili paste, and add some leftovers.

The food is also a delicious meal.

The cabbage moss is freshly cut from the fields, stir-fried over a high fire in a rural earth stove, and served with rice soup. Zhou Zhi believes that this is the sweetest delicacy of this season.

There is another dish that I will never forget - bream chili.

Chili pepper is a very famous dish in the Yangtze River Basin.

There are many dishes made with it as raw material in Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Hubei cuisine, Guizhou cuisine, and Yunnan cuisine. In the past, almost every household could make it, just like kimchi and sauerkraut, at least there was a jar.

Always available for entertaining guests.

In the old days, if any daughter did not know this skill, she would not be able to hold her head high when the matchmaker proposed marriage.

The production method is not too complicated. Chop fresh red peppers - large red peppers, pointed red peppers, Chaotian peppers, Guangdong peppers, etc. into fine pieces, and then mix them with ground corn or sticky rice. Mix evenly, add salt, put it into a jar and seal it tightly. After sealing the mouth of the jar, pour the jar into a basin of salt water to allow it to ferment naturally.

Generally, it can be eaten in three to five days, but at this time it can only satisfy the craving, and the flavor has not yet developed. It takes at least thirty days to eat really good bream and chili pepper. You can't help but salivate when you lift it up on your cheeks. It's so delicious.

Because of the fermentation process, the characteristics of the hot and sour pepper are very appetizing.

There are also many processing methods: you can stir-fry meat—twice-cooked pork, bacon, sausage, and fat sausage.

You can also scramble eggs, grill fish, steam meat, and braised meat.

Of course, the most direct way is to fry the bream and chili pepper alone.

Heat the oil, scoop a large bowl of bream and chili into it, stir-fry until the bream and chili are golden in color, sprinkle a handful of chopped green garlic sprouts and stir twice before serving. You can eat three bowls of rice with this thing.

Therefore, the lie Jiang Shuyi told on behalf of Zhou Zhi cannot be completely regarded as a lie. Zhou Zhi will indeed bring back a jar of newly harvested corn, sticky rice and fresh chili pepper tomorrow.

It was already past eight o'clock when the food was ready, and Lao Yangtou and Yang and his eldest brother finally got up. They must have vomited before and were a little hungry now.

But I just sobered up and couldn't eat anything, so just like Zhou Zhi, the main dish was rice soup with shaved rice and stir-fried cabbage.

It was a little late after dinner, and Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi heated their feet in a footbath for the first time. While Zhou Zhi's feet were being heated, they started to be dishonest, rubbing against Jiang Shuyi's little feet, which made Jiang feel uncomfortable. Shu Yi's face was full of embarrassment, her heart was pounding and her body was weak, but she didn't dare to dodge and she only wanted to apologize: "Zhou Zhi... Zhou Zhi, you can't go too far..."

Only then did Zhou Zhi lift Jiang Shuyi's calf and put it on his thigh. He slowly used the foot towel to dry Jiang Shuyi's feet, not sparing any gaps between his fingers.

"Zhou... Zhi..." Jiang Shuyi was the most ticklish. Zhou Zhi made her so itchy that her eyes were about to drip with water: "Zhou Zhi, don't bully me..."

Only then did Zhou Zhi put Jiang Shuyi's feet on the slippers: "Shu Yi, good night."

"Good night Zhou Zhi." Jiang Shuyi walked quickly towards the side room where she slept like a frightened deer, not daring to raise her head, and almost bumped into Yang He who came out holding a jar of bream and pepper.

There was no more words to say that night. Early the next morning, when the big red rooster, which had escaped the sword and blood, began to crow arrogantly, Zhou Zhi, Yang He and Jiang Shuyi got up, and Zhou Zhi carried Yang He on his back to prepare for Jiang Shuyi's family. Yang He carried the new rice and bream pepper prepared for Zhou Zhi's family on his back, and Jiang Shuyi rushed to the dock with a flashlight, preparing to take the earliest ferry back to the county town.

At the new highway pier in Jiachuan County, a tricycle drove over, and a middle-aged woman who still had charm got out. She was holding a schoolbag in her hand. She looked at the ferry that had sailed to the center of the river and couldn't help but sigh. Then he shifted his gaze to the breakfast stall on the edge of the pier, wanting to go over and see what kinds of breakfasts were on sale.

Then the middle-aged woman's face froze, because she saw a woman carrying a schoolbag beside the stall, who still had the same charm, and she saw herself almost at the same time.
