When they arrived at the destination, they quickly set up the tent brought by Li Hongbin.

Set up the grill and start the fire.

There was already a large tarpaulin on the floor, and everyone could sit on it.

After Li Hongbin and Zhang An's father went to pick up a large bucket of water and came back, nothing happened to them.

A few middle-aged men carried their own backpacks with fishing tackle on their backs and went to the bank of the big river to find their own fishing spots.

Before coming here, Li Hongbin knew that everyone was going to fish, and he also knew that his skills were not easy to describe.

But the last time Zhang An used earthworms for him, he fished like a god of war.

So before going out, Zhang An quietly asked Zhang An to dig some earthworms for him.

Of course Zhang An knew what he meant, so he got some special earthworms for him.

Zhang An chose a very good place today. The river bank here is just facing away from the sun, and he is not afraid of shining his eyes when the sun goes down.

When he saw the fish by the river, Li Hongbin was a little confused.

When he came last time, there were not so many fish in this river.

It can only be seen that there are some swimming around at the bottom of the water.

But it's different now. You can see schools of fish swimming in the water everywhere in the river. Schools of fish swimming in and out.

This made Ding Kan's eyes fall into the river.

This is where Zhang An specially brought them here. This is the place where Zhang An released the fish in the living space last time.

Every time Zhang An walked here, he could see a lot of fish wandering in this section. They didn't swim downstream or upstream.

It's not that no one in the village came to arrest them, and many of them came and got out of the ground cage.

Every time there is some gain, but not much, but it is still much better than before.

Without him, this school of fish is very fine, you cast a net and it dives to the bottom, and you can't see it.

"Sure enough, Lao Chen is not lying. There are too many big goods here. You can have a good time today."

As soon as Ding picked up his fishing box, he found a good place and started to assemble the fishing rod.

Several other people also started working one after another. Dong Jingzhi originally planned to make up the number, but seeing so many fish, he was also happy to see the hunting, and immediately began to assemble the fishing rod.

"Old Chen, today I'll show you what god fishing is, hehe."

With the earthworms given by Zhang An, Li Hongbin will take the initiative to provoke Chen Ze.

"Come on, what can you catch with that one?" Chen Ze didn't believe Li Hongbin, Li Hongbin learned fishing from them.

"If you still don't believe it, it will surprise you later."

After everyone installed the fishing rod line group, they began to prepare their own bait.

But Li Hongbin directly picked up the earthworm and hooked it up. He didn't bring any bait this time.

Last time he thought it was a problem with his bait, so he went to the boss to discuss it.

But the final conclusion is that the live earthworm bait used by Zhang An is amazing, and the bait is incomparable.

"Hey, I said that it's not interesting to just fish like this. Let's do something interesting, whether to play or not."

Chen Ze suggested to several people.

"Tell me how to play."

Everyone looked at Chen Ze.

"The rules are like this. Let's fish for four hours. At the end, we will compare the results to see who catches more and who catches less. The last one will give some living expenses to Zhang An's family and cover our food for today. Uncles and aunts can't be busy all day, let's eat and drink for free."

Zhang An was far away, and only saw a few people whispering.

But seeing the smug 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.

It didn't burn much smoke, it seems Li Hongbin bought good carbon.

Putting on the wire mesh, everyone doesn't want to eat too much at this time, so Zhang An is going to roast the rabbit and fish first.

Rabbit and grass carp are marinated at home, using the spices prepared by Wang Fang herself.

Because fish with thin scales have more bones, although grass carp also has more bones, you can only choose one with fewer bones.

Zhang An tied the marinated rabbit to the tree branch he brought, and found that the grill didn't seem to be good for roasting this stuff.

It's not easy to grill fish later, so I can only dig another hole next to it and burn a pile of charcoal fire again.

Everyone found some stones nearby, set up two shelves, and Zhang An started his job as a barbecue master today.

Fearing that it would burn, Zhang An had to turn it over after baking for a while, and the whole process was really boring.

"Let me roast for a while." Su Ying saw that Zhang An was 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 over the rabbit in his hand to Su Ying, and finally had someone to talk to with him 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 look at the crops.

Wen Jing and Chen Ning also went to the river to watch them fish, 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 wasn't very boring for the two of them to get together to talk and chat.

"I haven't baked it before, you have to teach me, otherwise it will be burnt later, and everyone will eat burnt ones."

Su Ying imitated Zhang An's action just now, flipping and roasting the roasted rabbit whose surface had been roasted golden.

"No problem, you can turn it slowly, otherwise it won't be cooked if you turn it too fast."

Zhang An took another branch to tie the grass carp, and put it on the fire pit to roast.

In this way, the two of them roasted the rabbit and the fish.

Zhang An saw that Su Ying's flipping frequency was a bit fast, so he reminded him.

Su Ying heard the words and flipped through it every once in a while.

"You're learning so fast, you can already bake rabbits and sell them, haha."

"How can it be so fast, but I didn't find it troublesome when I used to eat it. Now that I bake it myself, I realize that it is not very simple."

Zhou Lan watched from the side as the two started chatting, with a smile on her lips, she led Li Yao quietly to the river to watch Li Hongbin go fishing, leaving the space for the two of them.

"What major do you study? How did you think of being a teacher?"

Zhang An flipped and grilled the fish in his hands, and sometimes took out seasonings and sprinkled a layer on the rabbit and fish that were being flipped and grilled.

"I majored in Chinese language and literature at the Provincial University. My family always wanted me to be a teacher. They thought it would be good for a girl to be a teacher. I don't hate being a teacher, so I applied."

Su Ying occasionally scratched the few strands of hair that fell from her head with her left hand.

"It's great to be a teacher. People's teachers are very honorable when you hear it. You can prop up the rabbit and I'll brush it with oil, otherwise it will be too dry after baking."

Su Ying raised the rabbit in her hand, and Zhang An took the oil in the bowl and poured it on.

After roasting on charcoal fire, the aroma has begun to come out.

"Wow, it's starting to smell, how long do we have to bake it?"

It was Su Ying's first time to bake something, and it was still in the wild. It felt very fresh to her, and she was as happy as a child.

"It's almost there, and it will be almost ready after another ten minutes of baking."

"I really want to bake it quickly and taste what it tastes like. My mouth is watering just by smelling it."

Su Ying smiled playfully.

I have to say that he is good-looking and has a very attractive temperament when he smiles. Zhang An is almost stunned.

Zhang An, who came to his senses, secretly felt that he had never seen the world.

Zhang Jianguo, who came back from the field at this moment, was going to come and sit down, but was pulled by Wang Fang, and whispered that his man had no eyesight.

Zhang An and Su Ying sitting together was what she wanted to see the most. Her son was not young anymore, and in a month or so, he would be twenty.

If Zhang An knew what they were thinking, he would feel a little helpless, and he and Su Ying would just chat for a while.

Soon, the rabbit and the fish were roasted.

Zhang An came over with a big round plate, dismantled the fish and the 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 to eat. It is still more than enough to hold grilled fish and roasted rabbits after cleaning.

"You're tired, this thing is quite heavy, and it still hurts when you hold it all the time."

"It's okay, I think it's quite interesting."

Zhang An took out chili and cumin powder and sprinkled it on.

He tore off a rabbit leg and handed it over, "Come, try the rabbit you baked yourself."

"Let's eat together, let's eat the bad one first."

"It's okay, you are a great hero, I will reward you first, and I will call them over."

When Su Ying heard this, she took the rabbit leg that Zhang An handed over.

"The rabbit and the fish passed the exam, and the ones you want to eat are coming soon."

"coming."

Zhang An yelled, and the people by the river echoed back.

The few people who were fishing also paused at halftime and took a break.

"Zhang An, this rabbit is roasted well."

Several people each tore a piece of meat and ate it, giving thumbs up one after another.

"This is baked by Su Ying, you have to thank him."

With everyone's affirmation, Su Ying is also very happy.

Zhang An ate a few mouthfuls, then took the skewers prepared by Tongli and grilled them on the grill.

Toasting in one hand, holding a cattail fan in the other.

"Look, Zhang An looks like a barbecue seller."

"Don't tell me, it's really similar. The next time Boss Zhang goes to the street, remember to tell us, we will take care of your business, haha."

Zhang An rolled his eyes, "Come on, let's wait for the bosses to come and spend."

After a while, Zhang An finished grilling a lot of skewers, put them on a plate and continued to roast, there were so many people that the skewers were not enough to eat.

Others helped to string ham sausages, but Zhang An brought a box of fifty hams.

"Let me bake, you rest for a while." Zhou Lan had almost eaten, so she came over to take over Zhang An's work and handed Zhang An a bottle of soda.

Chen Ning saw that Su Ying baked a rabbit, so she wanted to bake something now.

Just now Su Ying said that eating the things she baked is quite rewarding.

So she was a little moved.

Zhang An was not polite, and gave up his position to a few others.

There may be a few bunches of chili powder sprinkled by Zhang An, Li Yao's face is a little red now.

Everyone ate skewers and ice cream, Zhang An was worried that they would have diarrhea.

But in this weather, eating ice cream and drinking soda is so refreshing.

I ate a barbecue for more than two hours, from when the sun was in the sky to when the sun was about to go down.

After the things were packed, everyone didn't want to go back and wanted to play for a while.

Wang Fang asked Zhang An to take everyone to play by the river, and she and Zhang An's father received the things first and carried them home immediately.

When we came here, there were a lot of things. In addition to the full load on the horseback, everyone had to take some in their hands.

But when I went back, there wasn't much left.

Because the food is finished, and the drink is also finished.

Only some bottles and plastic bags were left, and Zhang An also put them in his pockets and let the horse carry them back.

At this moment, when we walked to the river, several men were still fishing.

"You've been fishing for so long, we haven't finished yet."

"It's not dark, let's go fishing for a while."

Zhang An checked the fish one by one, and Li Hongbin's household had quite a lot of fish, Zhang An had already guessed this.

Li Yao was still shouting to his father that he caught a lot of fish.

After checking, it turned out that Chen Zehu had the least fish.

"Old Chen, you can't do it, why did you gain so little."

Chen Ze will be a little wilted now, like a frost-beaten eggplant on a hot day.

"Hey, don't talk about it, I caught a big fish just now, the kind that weighs more than a dozen catties, but the sub-line is too thin and unhooked..."

As soon as this was said, several people laughed.

When he started to load the line, he did not expect such a big fish in the river.

I didn't find out until I was about to hook it, and it couldn't slip.

When the men started fishing, Zhang An proposed to take the rest of the men to pick up sweet potatoes.

A few people were also bored watching it, and when they heard Zhang An said there was something to play, 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. We call it diradish here, and it can be eaten as a fruit."

There is a saying in the village called "June [-]th, sweet potatoes are ripe".

It means that the sweet potatoes will be ripe on the sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar.

When planting seedlings before, Zhang An found a large piece of sweet potatoes on the ridge of his field. Zhang An liked to pick sweet potatoes when he was a child, so he poured space spring water on these things.

So Zhang An guessed that the sweet potatoes on the ridge of his field should be ripe in the past few days.

Zhang An led a few people towards his rice field while talking.

Not long after, the group arrived at Zhang An's rice field.

When I came to the back ridge of the rice field, the sweet potato vines grew very densely and covered the entire field ridge.

"Look, this is the sweet potato vine. The sweet potato grows on the sweet potato vine, usually next to the soil."

Zhang An explained to a few people, squatted down and used his hands to push aside the sweet potato vines covered with leaves, revealing a bunch of dense sweet potatoes underneath.

Each one looks like a pigeon egg.

In fact, many sweet potatoes are not so big, but this is because Zhang An added food to the sweet potato vines in this area, which made them grow well, and the nearby weeds did not rob them.

Zhang An found a slightly larger sweet potato, squeezed it, and it was already ripe.

"This is the sweet potato, it's delicious." After speaking, he peeled off the skin of the sweet potato with his hands, revealing the flesh inside.

Handed it to Chen Ning, "How about you try it."

Then I 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 sweet taste, just like eating strawberries."

A few people felt good after eating, and then squatted on the ground and started to look for it.

"There's a lot of mud, let's pick it up and wash it before eating." After Zhang An finished speaking, everyone thought it was okay, since it was found from the mud after all.

"It's a good thing the dolls in the village didn't find this piece of sweet potato, otherwise it would be gone."
