——
When we arrived at our destination, we quickly set up the tent brought by Li Hongbin.
Set up the grill and start the fire.
A large piece of tarpaulin has been spread on the ground. Everyone can sit on the tarpaulin.
After Li Hongbin and others followed Zhang An's father to fetch a large bucket of water and came back, nothing happened to them.
A few middle-aged men carried their own backpacks containing fishing gear and started to find their own fishing spots on the bank of the river.
Before coming, Li Hongbin knew that everyone wanted to fish, and he also knew that his skills were somewhat difficult 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 came last, there were not so many fish in the river.
I can only see some swimming around under the water.
But it is 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 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.
Every time I gain something, but not much, but it is 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. We can have a good time today."
Ding Yi picked up a good position with his fishing box. Start assembling the fishing rod.
Several other people also started to take action. Dong Jingzhi originally planned to make up the number, but when he saw so many fish, he was also very happy and started to assemble the fishing rod.
"Old Chen, today I will 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.
Li Hongbin directly picked up the earthworms and hooked them. 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 the final conclusion was that the live earthworm bait used by Zhang An was so miraculous that the bait could not compare.
"Hey, I said just fishing like this is not interesting. Let's do something interesting instead of just playing."
Chen Ze suggested to a few people.
"Tell me how to play."
Everyone looked at Chen Ze.
“The rules are like this, we fish for four hours, and finally we compare the results to see who catches more and who catches less. The last one will pay some living expenses to Zhang An’s family and give us today’s meal. It’s taken care of, we can’t keep our 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 began to burn.
There is not much smoke when burning. It seems that the charcoal Li Hongbin bought is good.
Put on the wire mesh. No one is too eager to eat at this time, so Zhang An plans 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 the two.
Zhang An tied the pickled 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 can only 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 Zhang An was worried that it would burn, he 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 having someone to talk to. , to relieve 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. Zhou Lan also had to take care of Li Yao, who liked to run around.
There is only one full-time barbecue master and Su Ying left.
So it’s not boring for the two of them to get together and talk.
“I’ve never baked before, you have to teach me, otherwise it will be damaged later and everyone will eat burnt food.”
Su Ying imitated Zhang An’s action just now, flipping and baking Roasted rabbit that has been baked to a golden brown surface.
“No problem, you can turn it a little slower, otherwise it will turn too fast and it will not be cooked properly.”
Zhang An took another tree branch and tied up the grass carp, then placed it on the fire pit and grilled it.
In this way, one of them grilled rabbit and the other grilled fish.
Zhang An saw that Su Ying turned around a bit too quickly, so he gave a reminder before exiting.
After Su Ying heard this, she turned over it 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 to eat them before, now I bake them myself When I got up, I realized that it was 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 fishing. Leave room for two.
"What major are you studying? Why did you think of becoming a teacher?"
Zhang An flipped the fish he was grilling, and sometimes took out the seasonings for the rabbit he was grilling. Sprinkle a layer on top of the fish.
“I majored in Chinese language and literature at the Provincial University. My family has always wanted me to be a teacher. They think it’s 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 great to be a teacher. People's Teachers are 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 on.
After being grilled over charcoal fire, the aroma has begun to come out.
“Wow, it’s starting to smell fragrant. How much longer should we bake it?”
This is the first time Su Ying bakes something, and it’s still in the wild. It feels very new to her. As happy as a child.
“It’s almost done, just bake it for another ten minutes or so.”
“I really want to bake it quickly and taste what it tastes like. I already want it just from the smell. My mouth is watering.”
Su Ying smiled playfully.
I have to say that he is good-looking and has a very attractive smile. Zhang An was almost stunned.
Zhang An, who woke up, secretly felt that he had never seen the world.
Zhang Jianguo, who came back from the fields at this moment, was going 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 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 with a layer of it.
He tore off a rabbit leg and handed it over, "Here, try the rabbit you roasted."
"Let's all eat together. Let's eat the not so good first."
" It's okay, you are a great hero, let me reward you first, and I'll call them over."
Hearing this, Su Ying took the rabbit leg handed over by Zhang An.
"Rabbit and Fish have passed the exam. If you want something to eat, come here soon."
"Coming."
Zhang An shouted, and the people by the river He echoed.
Several people fishing also paused for a while and rested for a while.
"Zhang An, this rabbit is well roasted."
Everyone tore 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.
Turn the roast with one hand and hold a cattail leaf fan in the other.
“Look, Zhang An looks like he specializes in selling barbecue.”
“Don’t say it, it does look a bit like it. Boss Zhang will set up a stall on the street next time. When the time comes, remember to tell us, we will take care of your business, haha."
Zhang An rolled his eyes, "Okay, then we will wait for the bosses to come and spend."
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 hams, but Zhang An brought a box with fifty hams.
"I'll bake it, you take a rest." Zhou Lan was almost finished 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.
Su Ying said just now that she felt a sense of accomplishment eating her own baked goods.
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 more 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 in the sky to when the sun was almost setting.
After packing their things, everyone still 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 bag on the horse, everyone also had to carry some on their hands.
But there won’t be much left when we go back.
Because we have finished eating and drinking.
Only some bottles and plastic bags were 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, why haven’t you finished fishing 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 at 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 can't do it. How can you get so little harvest?"
Chen Ze is 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 sub-line was too thin and it decoupled..."
As soon as I said this, how many people did I catch? Everyone laughed.
When he started to install the line, he did not expect such a big fish in the river.
When I was about to hook it, I realized that I couldn’t slip away anymore.
A few men started fishing, so Zhang An suggested taking the remaining men to pick sweet potatoes.
A few people were bored and agreed when they heard Zhang An said it was fun.
"Zhang An, are sweet potatoes the kind that are very big, like radish?" Wen Jing asked Zhang An curiously.
“No, sister-in-law, the sweet potato you are talking about 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."
It means that sweet potatoes will not mature until 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 poured space spring water on them.
So Zhang An guessed that the sweet potatoes on his field ridge should be ripe in the past few days.
While talking, Zhang An 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 are grown on the sweet potato vine, usually next to the soil.”
Zhang An explained to a few people, squatted down and used his hands Peeling open the sweet potato vines full of leaves, dense bunches of sweet potatoes were exposed 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 pulp inside.
Handed it to Chen Ning, "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, and then squatted on the ground and started to look 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.”
