——
When we arrived at our destination, we quickly set up the tent brought by Li Hongbin.
Set up the grill and start lighting the fire.
A large piece of tarpaulin has been spread on the ground, and everyone can sit on the tarpaulin.
Li Hongbin and others followed Zhang An's father to pick up a large bucket of water. After they came back, nothing happened to them.
Several middle-aged men carried their own backpacks containing fishing gear and headed to the bank of the river to find their own fishing spots.
Before coming, Li Hongbin knew that everyone wanted to fish, and he also knew that his skills were hard to describe.
But the last time Zhang An used earthworms for him, he fished like a god of war.
So before going out, he quietly asked Zhang An to help him dig up some earthworms.
Of course Zhang An knew what he meant, so he got him some special earthworms.
The place Zhang An chose today is very good. The river bank here is facing away from the sun, so he is not afraid of the sun shining into his eyes later when it sets.
When he saw the fish by the river, Li Hongbin was a little confused.
When he last came here, there were not so many fish in the river.
I can only see some swimming around under the water.
But things are different now. You can see a group of fish swimming in the water everywhere in the river.
This made Ding Yi's eyes fall into the river.
Zhang An brought them here specially. This is the place where Zhang An released the fish in the space last time.
Every time Zhang An walks by here, he can see many fish wandering in this section. They do not swim downstream or upstream.
It’s not like no one in the village came to arrest him, many people came and got him into cages.
Each time I gained something, but not much, but it was still much better than before.
Otherwise, this school of fish is very sophisticated. If you cast the net, it will dive to the bottom of the water and you won't be able to see it.
"Sure enough, Lao Chen didn't lie. There are too many big products here. You can have a good time today."
As soon as Ding picked up his fishing box, he found a good spot and started assembling the fishing rod.
Several other people also took action one after another. Dong Jingzhi originally planned to come and make up the number, but when he saw so many fish, he was also very happy and immediately started to assemble the fishing rod.
"Old Chen, today I'm going to show you what divine fishing is, hehe."
With the earthworms given by Zhang An, Li Hongbin took the initiative to challenge Chen Ze.
"Come on, what can you catch with just that handful?" Chen Ze didn't believe Li Hongbin. Li Hongbin learned fishing from a few of them.
"If you still don't believe it, I will surprise you later."
After everyone installed the fishing rod and line sets, they started preparing their own bait.
But Li Hongbin directly picked up the earthworm and hooked it. He didn't even bring any bait this time.
Last time, he thought there was something wrong with his bait, so he argued with his boss.
But in the end, I came to the conclusion that the live earthworm bait used by Zhang An was so miraculous that the bait could not compare.
"Hey, I said it's not interesting to just fish like this. Let's do something interesting instead of just having fun."
Chen Ze opened his mouth and suggested to a few people.
"Tell me how to play."
Everyone looked at Chen Ze.
"The rules are like this. We will fish for four hours, and then we will compare the results to see who catches more and who catches less. The last one will contribute some living expenses to Zhang An's family and cover our meals for today. We will also
We can’t keep uncles and aunts busy all day, let’s eat and drink for free.”
Zhang An was far away and could only see a few people muttering.
But seeing the proud smile on Li Hongbin's face, he knew what Li Hongbin was talking about.
Soon, the charcoal on the grill was ignited and started to burn.
There isn't much smoke when burning. It seems that the charcoal Li Hongbin bought is good.
Put up the wire mesh. No one wanted to eat much at this time, so Zhang An planned to bake the rabbit and fish first.
Rabbit and grass carp are marinated at home, using spices prepared by Wang Fang himself.
Because the fine-scaled fish has more spines and the grass carp also has more spines, you can only choose the one with fewer spines between them.
Zhang An tied the marinated rabbit to the tree branch he brought and found that the grill seemed not very good at grilling it.
It won't be easy to grill the fish later, so we have to dig another hole next to it and light a new charcoal fire.
Everyone found some rocks nearby and set up two racks, and Zhang An started his job as a barbecue master today.
Because he was worried that it would burn, Zhang An had to turn it over after baking for a while. The whole process was really boring.
"Let me roast it for a while." Su Ying saw Zhang An roasting rabbits alone with a tree branch, and she wanted to try it too.
"Okay, be careful, it won't taste good if it's burnt."
Zhang An handed the rabbit in his hand to Su Ying. Finally, he had someone to talk to and relieve his boredom. Zhang An would not refuse.
After Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang saw that they were fine, they went to their fields to see the crops.
Wen Jing and Chen Ning also went to the river to watch them fishing, and Zhou Lan had to take care of Li Yao, who liked to run around.
There is only one full-time barbecue chef and Su Ying left.
So it's not boring for the two of them to get together and talk.
"I haven't baked it before, you have to teach me, otherwise it will be damaged later and everyone will be burned."
Su Ying imitated Zhang An's actions just now and flipped the roasted rabbit that had become golden brown on the surface.
"No problem, you can turn it slowly, otherwise it will not be cooked properly if you turn it too fast."
Zhang An took another tree branch, tied up the grass carp, and grilled it on the fire pit.
In this way, one of them grilled rabbit and the other grilled fish.
Zhang An saw that Su Ying turned around a little too quickly, so he gave a reminder before exiting.
Su Ying heard this and turned it over after a while.
"You learn so fast, you can already roast rabbits and sell them, haha."
"It's not that fast, but I didn't find it troublesome when I ate it before. Now that I bake it myself, I realize it's not very simple."
Zhou Lan watched from the side as the two started chatting, with a smile on her lips, she quietly took Li Yao to the river to watch Li Hongbin go fishing, leaving the place for the two of them.
"What major do you major in? How come you want to be a teacher?"
Zhang An was grilling the fish on his hands, sometimes taking out seasonings and sprinkling a layer of seasoning on the rabbit and fish he was grilling.
"I majored in Chinese language and literature at the Provincial University. My family has always wanted me to be a teacher. They think it would be good for a girl to be a teacher, and I don't hate being a teacher, so I applied."
Su Ying occasionally scratched a few strands of hair scattered on her head with her left hand.
"It's good to be a teacher. People's Teachers feel very honored when they hear it. You can prop up the rabbit and I'll brush it with oil, otherwise it will be too dry when baked later."
Su Ying lifted up the rabbit on her hand, and Zhang An took the oil in the bowl and poured it into a rinse.
After being grilled over charcoal fire, the aroma has begun to come out.
"Wow, it's starting to smell delicious. How much longer do we have to bake it?"
This was Su Ying's first time baking something, and it was still in the wild. It felt very new to her, and she was as happy as a child.
"It's almost done, just bake it for another ten minutes or so and it'll be ready."
"I really want to bake it quickly and taste what it tastes like. Just smelling it makes my mouth water."
Su Ying smiled playfully.
I have to say that he is good-looking and has a very attractive smile, which almost made Zhang An stunned.
After Zhang An woke up, he secretly felt that he had never seen the world.
Zhang Jianguo, who had just returned from the fields, was about to come over and sit down, but Wang Fang pulled him away and whispered that his man had no eyesight.
What she wanted to see most was Zhang An and Su Ying sitting together. Her son was not young anymore, he would be twenty in a little more than a month.
If Zhang An knew what they were thinking, he would be a little helpless and just chat with Su Ying for a while.
Soon, the rabbit and fish were roasted.
Zhang An brought a large round plate over, took apart the fish and rabbit and put them on the plate.
This plate is a large iron plate that is usually used at home to hold melon seeds and peanuts for guests. After cleaning it, there is still more than enough to hold grilled fish and rabbit.
"You must be tired. This thing is quite heavy. Your hands will still feel sore if you hold it all the time."
"It's okay, I think it's quite interesting."
Zhang An took out the chili cumin powder and sprinkled it on.
He tore off a rabbit leg and handed it over, "Here, try the rabbit you roasted yourself."
"Let's all eat together, let's eat not so good first."
"It's okay. You are a great hero. Let me reward you first. I'll call them over."
Su Ying heard this and took the rabbit leg handed over by Zhang An.
"Rabbit and Fish did well in their exams. If you want something to eat, come over soon."
"Coming."
Zhang An shouted, and the people by the river responded.
Several people fishing also stopped for a while and took a rest.
"Zhang An, this rabbit is roasted well."
Several people each tore off a piece of meat and ate it, giving thumbs up.
"This is baked by Su Ying, you have to thank her."
Su Ying was also very happy to receive everyone's approval.
Zhang An took a few bites, then took the skewers Tongli had skewered and started grilling them on the grill.
Turning the roast in one hand and holding a cattail leaf fan in the other.
"Look, Zhang An looks like he specializes in selling barbecue."
"Don't tell me, it does look a bit like it. Next time Boss Zhang goes to the street to set up a stall, remember to tell us and we will take care of your business, haha."
Zhang An rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, then I'll just wait for the bosses to come and spend the money."
After a while, Zhang An had grilled a large number of skewers, put them on the plate and continued grilling them. There were so many people and so few skewers were not enough to eat.
Some of the others helped skewer the ham sausages, but Zhang An brought a box with fifty ham sausages.
"I'll bake it while you rest for a while." Zhou Lan was almost done eating, so she came over to take over Zhang An's work and handed Zhang An a bottle of soda.
Chen Ning saw Su Ying roasting a rabbit, and she wanted to bake something now.
Just now Su Ying said that eating the food you baked gives you a sense of accomplishment.
So she was a little moved.
Zhang An was not polite and gave up his position to a few people.
Maybe Zhang An sprinkled a little too much chili powder on a few bunches, and Li Yao's face is a little red now.
Everyone was eating skewers and ice cream, and Zhang An was worried that they would have diarrhea.
But in this weather, eating ice cream and drinking soda is so fun.
The barbecue lasted for more than two hours, from when the sun was high in the sky to when the sun was almost setting.
After everything was packed, everyone didn't want to go back and wanted to play for a while longer.
Wang Fang asked Zhang An to take everyone to play by the river. She and Zhang An's father received the things first and immediately carried them home.
There was a lot of stuff when we arrived. In addition to the full bags on the horses, everyone also had to carry some on their hands.
But there wasn't much left when I went back.
Because we have finished eating and drinking.
There were only some bottles and plastic bags left, so Zhang An also collected them and put them in his pockets, and asked the horses to carry them back.
When I walked to the river, a few men were still fishing.
"You have been fishing for so long, and we haven't had enough fun yet."
"It's not dark yet, let's fish for a while longer."
Zhang An checked the fish catch one by one. Li Hongbin's house had a lot of fish. Zhang An had already guessed this.
Li Yao was still shouting from the side that his father had caught a lot of fish.
After checking, it was Chen Zehu who caught the least fish.
"Old Chen, you're not good at it. How can you achieve so little?"
Chen Ze was a little wilted now, like an eggplant beaten by frost on a hot day.
"Hey, stop talking, I just caught a big fish, weighing more than ten kilograms, but the line was too thin and the hook came off..."
As soon as he said this, several people laughed.
When he started to install the line, he didn't expect such a big fish in the river.
When I was about to hook it, I realized that it couldn't slip away anymore.
A few men started fishing, so Zhang An suggested taking the remaining men to pick sweet potatoes.
Several people were bored, and after hearing Zhang An say it was fun, they agreed.
"Zhang An, are sweet potatoes the kind that are very big, like carrots?" Wen Jing asked Zhang An curiously.
"No, sister-in-law, the sweet potato you mentioned is actually called jicama. Here we call it radish, and it can be eaten as fruit."
There is a saying in the village that "on June 6, sweet potatoes are ripe."
This means that sweet potatoes will only mature on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month.
When planting rice seedlings, Zhang An found a large field of sweet potatoes on the edge of his field. Zhang An loved picking sweet potatoes when he was a child, so he even poured space spring water on them.
So Zhang An guessed that the sweet potatoes on his farm ridge should be ripe in the past few days.
While Zhang An was talking, he led a few people towards his rice field.
Not long after, the group arrived at Zhang An's rice field.
When we came to the back ridge of the rice field, very dense sweet potato vines had covered the entire ridge.
"Look, this is the sweet potato vine. The sweet potatoes grow on the sweet potato vine, usually next to the soil."
Zhang An explained it to a few people, then squatted down and used his hands to pry open the sweet potato vines full of leaves, revealing dense strings of sweet potatoes underneath.
Each one looks like a pigeon egg.
In fact, many sweet potatoes are not that big, but this is because Zhang An added food to the sweet potato vines in this area, causing them to grow very well, and the nearby weeds did not overtake them.
Zhang An found a slightly larger sweet potato and pinched it. It was already ripe.
"This is the sweet potato, it's delicious." After saying that, he peeled off the skin on the surface of the sweet potato with his hands, revealing the flesh inside.
He handed it to Chen Ning and said, "How about you try it."
Then he picked a few more on the ground, peeled them off and handed them to Su Ying and Wen Jing.
"It's not bad. It has a sweet and refreshing taste, just like eating strawberries."
After several people finished eating, they felt good about it, and then they squatted on the ground and started looking for it.
"There is a lot of mud. Let's pick it back and wash it before eating it." After Zhang An finished speaking, everyone thought it was OK. After all, we found it from the mud.
"Fortunately, this patch of sweet potatoes was not discovered by the children in the village, otherwise it would be gone."
