Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

“Xiaotian, you are a scholar when it comes to this kind of thing, so the old leader probably didn’t invite you to participate because he was afraid of scaring you, cough cough cough!”

Song Lian really wanted to explain for his old leader, but in the end, even he himself didn't believe it. He could only cough a few times to cover up his embarrassment.

Zhou Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes at Song Lian. He didn't believe a word of this lame excuse, but to be honest, he didn't really want to get involved.

Although doing so may cause a lot of misunderstanding, he is very confident in the weapons he developed, and that is enough.

The car quickly returned to the steel mill.

Zhou Tian said goodbye to Song Lian and returned to his office to continue his research and drawing of the external cylindrical grinder.

In the blink of an eye, it's time to eat.

As soon as Zhou Tian picked up his lunch box and arrived at the cafeteria, he saw that the person getting food at the cafeteria window was He Yuzhu.

"Did Uncle He let Zhuzi enter the factory?"

Confused, Zhou Tian walked up to the window where He Yuzhu was getting his lunch and asked, "Zhuzi, why are you working at the steel mill? You're not at Taifeng Building anymore?"

When He Yuzhu saw Zhou Tian, ​​a unique silly smile immediately appeared on his face. He touched his head and said, "Brother Zhou, it's you. Taifenglou has closed down, so my dad asked me to come to the steel mill!"

"Taifenglou has closed down?"

Zhou Tian was slightly stunned. He didn't know this, but when he remembered that many famous restaurants in the city had been involved in labor disputes some time ago, he began to understand a little.

"So that's how it is. Well, give me a portion of stir-fried cabbage and meat and two steamed buns!"

As he said that, Zhou Tian handed him the lunch box and money.

"Okay, Brother Zhou, don't worry, I'm here, I will definitely give you plenty of rewards!"

He Yuzhu took the money, picked up the lunch box and filled it with potatoes and cabbage for Zhou Tian, ​​and took out two of the largest steamed buns made of two grams of flour.

"Hey, Brother Zhou, how is it? I'm pretty good, right?"

Zhou Tian smiled, gave him a thumbs up, then walked to an empty table with his lunch box and steamed buns, sat down and started eating.

"Big brother!"

Just when Zhou Tian had almost finished eating, Zhou Jun and Zhou Min came over with lunch boxes.

"Xiaojun, Xiaomin, you are here too! Please sit down!"

"Ok!"

The two of them sat down obediently.

"How is it? Is your work going well during this period?"

As Zhou Tian was busy with the external cylindrical grinder during this period, he rarely ran into the two of them. Now that they met, he naturally wanted to show concern for them.

"Brother, I'm fine. Captain Lu takes good care of me. Now I'm learning how to repair cars from Master Zhu!"

Zhou Jun took a bite of the steamed bun and said happily. Judging from his expression, Zhou Jun was not lying and it was obvious that he had a good time during this period.

"Xiaomin, what about you!"

When Zhou Tian heard that Zhou Jun was doing well, he turned his gaze to Zhou Min. After all, compared to Zhou Jun, Zhou Min was more stable and well-behaved, and could be easily bullied by the elderly, especially since the security department was composed of soldiers who had just come down from the battlefield.

Although he looks smiling on weekdays, he has many tricks up his sleeve.

"Brother, I was not bullied. Section Chief Song also introduced me to a master. I am now learning fighting from him!"

Zhou Tian frowned at Zhou Min's words and couldn't help asking, "Fighting, why do you want to learn fighting?"

It’s not that Zhou Tian looks down on fighting, but their Zhou family has a family tradition of Xingyiquan. Although Zhou Jun and Zhou Min have not learned much of the essence, two or three people generally cannot get close to them.

Now Zhou Min is learning how to fight, and Zhou Tian can't help but be curious.

"Master said that my Xingyiquan is mostly just fancy moves. It can be of some use against street urchins, but it would be dangerous if I were to encounter a real enemy spy. That's why Master taught me fighting skills!"

Zhou Min hurriedly explained.

"I see, it seems you really need to study!"

After hearing Zhou Min's explanation, Zhou Tian couldn't help but nodded and agreed with the other party. After all, he had captured enemy spies before, and he knew very well that if he only relied on Zhou Min's mediocre Xingyiquan, it would be dangerous if he really encountered enemy spies.

On the contrary, the fighting skills used in the military are mostly desperate moves that are extremely powerful and can also play a starting role.

Since Zhou Min chose the security department, it is inevitable that he will encounter enemy spies. Even if it is for self-protection, there is no harm in learning more.

Since he knew that everything was going well for both of them, Zhou Tian didn't ask any more questions. After dinner, he returned to the office and continued drawing.

It was not until the bell for the end of get off work rang that Zhou packed up his drawings, left the office, and pushed his cart out of the steel mill.

"Master Zhou, are you off work?"

"Chief Zhou! Are you off work?"

Along the way, he met many workers who were off work, and they greeted Zhou Tian one after another. Zhou Tian responded with a smile one by one. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the steel mill, he saw Zhou Jun and Zhou Min waiting there.

Zhou Tian greeted the two brothers, and the three of them rode a bicycle towards home, with the two brothers Chang Wen and Chang Wu following closely behind.

When Zhou Tian got home and just stopped his bike, he saw his grandparents walking in carrying a chicken.

"Grandma, are you going to buy chickens?"

Zhou Tian saw the chicken in his grandmother's hand and couldn't help asking.

"Yes, grandson, I've noticed that you haven't been eating well from day to dinner recently, so I plan to stew a chicken for you to nourish yourself. You see, you've lost weight in the past few days!"

Zhou Tian was suddenly speechless after hearing what his grandmother said. Why didn't he feel that he had lost weight? On the contrary, because his grandmother and second aunt often made delicious food for him during this period, he felt that his weight seemed to have increased.

As for Zhou Jun and Zhou Min on the side, they couldn't help but laugh secretly. Obviously, they were already accustomed to their grandmother's favoritism towards the eldest brother.

But no matter what, grandma meant well and he couldn't say anything.

"Grandma, let me help you carry it!"

As he spoke, Zhou Tian stepped forward, picked up the chicken from grandma's hand, and supported grandma, grandpa, Zhou Min and Zhou Min as they walked towards the inner house.

After returning to the inner house, Zhou Tian first went to check the kitchen. Sure enough, he found that all the chickens, ducks and rabbits in the kitchen were gone. Apparently they had been eaten up in the past few days. After thinking about it, Zhou Tian originally planned to take out some more from the space, but fearing that his grandmother and the others would ask him questions, he had to give up and planned to take them out when he came back tomorrow.

However, when he thought of the space, he suddenly remembered that he had not paid attention to the space for a long time, and the fruits and grains in it seemed to have ripened long ago.

Thinking of this, he made up an excuse to his grandma and grandpa, returned to his room and entered the space.

Sure enough, the grains in the space had already matured at this time, and the densely packed ears of rice were golden. With a thought, Zhou Tian harvested all the grains, processed them into flour and rice with his mind, and put them all into the warehouse.

Now the warehouse in the space is almost full. With these foods, it is enough for their family to survive the disaster, and even more than enough, enough for their family and their second uncle's family to eat for ten years.

As for vegetables, there are also a lot of them accumulated.

The fruit trees have also grown, and each tree is densely packed with fruits. The apples, pears, red dates, and persimmons have all turned red and exude tempting fruity aromas.

Watermelon, grapes and snakeberry also had a good harvest, with a total of nearly a thousand kilograms harvested.

As for the big black pigs, there were nearly sixty of them, each weighing one hundred and fifty kilograms. There were also more than one hundred small black pigs, all of which were penned in the pigsty and unable to move at all.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Tian had no choice but to expand the pigpen a lot, and only stopped when the area reached two acres.

He no longer wanted to count the chickens, ducks, and rabbits because they were almost overwhelming. The number of sheep had become more than fifty, and the number of lambs was nearly sixty!

He harvested 300 chickens, ducks and rabbits each and put them in the house he built.

He planted more than one acre of various vegetables and finally found the space. As for the remaining vacant land, he no longer planned to continue growing food, but instead planned to grow some medicinal herbs.

After all, there is more food and vegetables than can be eaten, so there is no point in planting more.

After leaving the space, he thought of the pile of fruits in the space. His heart moved, and ten kilograms of grapes and ten apples suddenly appeared in his backpack.

He walked out of the house carrying his backpack.

"Grandma, look what delicious food I brought you?"
