"Is it delicious?" Xia Zhen stared at Pei Chengan and asked.
Pei Chengan nodded, "Not bad."
Xia Zhen seemed to be relieved, she was quite happy that her favorite food was recognized. Of course, this is only for people who I value, Xia Zhen doesn't care if Lu Mengqi says she doesn't like it.
"Ah! Did a fish take the bait?" Lu Mengqi said suddenly.
Xia Zhen turned her head to look at the water surface, and the buoy was indeed up and down. She calmly waited for Pei Chengan to finish his shot. After fishing so many fish with him, she has figured out the way and knows that there is no rush to finish the rod.
Pei Chengan was very calm and had no intention of closing the shot for the time being.
Lu Mengqi was in a hurry, she walked up to Pei Chengan, and said eagerly: "Senior Brother Pei, finish your rod quickly, the fish will run away!"
She bent down and got very close, her long hair in the shawl was hanging down, and a bunch of it still brushed on Pei Chengan's shoulder.
Xia Zhen was on the other side of Pei Chengan, seeing all this clearly, felt quite uncomfortable. But she refrained from speaking, she was afraid that her tone would be bad and reveal her emotions.
"No rush." Pei Chengan said calmly.
Seeing everyone's calm appearance, Lu Mengqi was a little embarrassed, but it was only for a moment. She quickly regained her composure, stood up straight, and said, "I don't know how to fish, so I get excited when I see a fish take the bait."
"He said you have to be calm when fishing." Xia Zhen said to her with a smile.
At this moment, Pei Chengan closed his rod, and a palm-sized crucian carp rushed out of the water. Crucian carp is too common, and Pei Chengan has already caught a lot of fish. Now unless they catch special fish, they won't be excited.
"The crucian carp is very good, and the crucian carp soup is especially delicious," Lu Mengqi said.
"Well, I also like to eat crucian carp. When I was a child, I especially liked to eat crucian carp fried by my grandfather, with chopped scallions on it, and the fragrance can be smelled from a long distance." Xia Zhen recalled the past, as if smelling the delicious aroma again, her expression was terrified. Intoxicated.
Pei Chengan looked very interested, and said: "It sounds delicious, I wonder if I have a chance to eat it."
The meaning of these words is profound. When Xia Zhen was thinking about it, Xiao Li smiled and said: "There must be a chance, just quickly change Xia Zhen's grandfather to your grandfather."
Xia Zhen blushed suddenly, looked at Xiao Li reproachfully and said, "Don't talk nonsense..."
"It doesn't need to be so troublesome. Let the chef of the restaurant do it later. Fried crucian carp is very simple." Lu Mengqi said, she always had a smile on her face, and her appearance was pure and harmless.
"Although it's simple, everyone's craftsmanship is different, and the taste will be different." Xiao Li objectively commented, and then added: "But it's okay to try it. I'll let Xia Zhen judge who makes it delicious."
Everyone agrees.
Three women around Pei Chengan would hinder him from fishing, and Xia Zhen was a little bored staying there. She stood up and said to Xiao Li and Lu Mengqi: "I saw that the vegetables planted over there are very green, how about we go over and have a look?"
Xiao Li readily accepted Xia Zhen's proposal, "Okay, I want to go too, I also want to see the chickens and ducks raised by the boss, there are chicks, they look so cute."
Lu Mengqi was not interested at all, "I don't really want to go."
"Go, go!" Xiao Li went to take her hand and pulled her away.
Xia Zhen bid farewell to Pei Chengan, "Then I'll go over there, you work hard."
He smiled and said, "Go."
The three women walked around, Xia Zhen and Xiao Li were both chatty people, even though they were not familiar with Lu Mengqi, they still found a lot of topics to talk to her, and got to know her a little bit through the chat.
I don't know if it's because Lu Mengqi is a potential rival in love, Xia Zhen doesn't like her very much, and always feels that she is a bit deep in the city. But she does a good job on the surface, she speaks softly and naively, and there are some unpleasant things, but she always seems to say it unintentionally, not knowing that it is not good for her to say it. Such a person, if you are upset and point at her, she will say with an innocent face that she has no malice and no such thoughts.
With her, Xia Zhen is more cautious in words and deeds, always worried about leaving something behind.
She was embarrassed by her cautious and guessing behavior, and was reflecting on whether she was petty.
But seeing Lu Mengqi looking towards the pond from time to time, Xia Zhen couldn't help herself to think.
Later, they went to see the chicks and ducklings. The proprietress said that they had only hatched for a few days. Xia Zhen looked at those small clumps and was about to be lovable by them.
She likes little ducks, they are tender and yellow, their eyes are as big as mung beans, sometimes they will fall when they walk, they look dumbfounded, they are very cute. She and Xiao Li had a great time playing with the little animals, but Lu Mengqi kept watching from a little distance away. She said that this kind of place had a lot of bacteria.
Xiao Li raised an eyebrow at Xia Zhen, who smiled helplessly.
After a while they got up and left without disturbing the little animals. But unexpectedly, the group of ducklings followed them all the time.
Xia Zhen and Xiao Li were both surprised and delighted. The proprietress said that the duckling likes to talk to people. Such a cute thing, Xia Zhen really wanted to take it home, and also wanted to show it to Pei Chengan.
"Can we let them go swimming?" Xia Zhen asked the proprietress.
The proprietress said: "They are fishing, and it will affect the ducks if they enter the water."
Xia Zhen looked at the time, it was almost 11 o'clock, and she had caught a lot of fish before, so it should be ok. She said yes, and the proprietress naturally had no objections.
So just like that, Xia Zhen and the others walked towards the pond, followed by the ducklings yelling "quack". They walked two steps and had to look back, because the duckling would fall if it walked too fast, and they liked to see that stupid and cute look.
Three beautiful girls are followed by a group of lovely ducks. This picture is so beautiful that the four men who are fishing all look at it in amazement.
"Are you abducting ducklings?" Dou Shuai joked.
Lu Mengqi replied with a smile: "Brother, this is clearly the duckling going astray."
"What!" Xiao Li disagreed, and said, "It's clear that the little duck is overwhelmed by our charm and doesn't want to leave us."
Xia Zhen said slyly, "Xiao Li, keep a low profile."
Xiao Li nodded, "Well, keep a low profile."
While talking, they walked to Pei Chengan's side, and Pei Chengan smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to discover so many interesting things."
"Of course, we can turn decay into legend." Xia Zhen said proudly.
"Who just said to keep a low profile." Xiao Li hummed.
Pei Chengan: "You don't need to keep a low profile in front of me, I know it all."
Xiao Li exaggeratedly covered his face with his hands, and said, "Stop showing affection, there are two single young women here." Previously at Dou Shuai's side, Xiao Li already knew that Lu Mengqi did not have a boyfriend. Of course, she could tell without asking, she was just making sure. Do people with boyfriends look at other people's boyfriends affectionately from time to time
"There's no show of affection." Xia Zhen refused to accept it, always saying that they showed affection, but they didn't.
"You just look at each other, and the true feelings have been revealed. This is the highest state of showing affection." Xiao Li argued hard.
Xia Zhen was speechless, Pei Chengan looked at Xia Zhen and smiled helplessly. If this is considered a show of affection, then he can't avoid it, because Xia Zhen is by the side, and his eyes will follow her unconsciously.
Xiao Li turned sideways and said to Lu Mengqi in a low voice: "Are they compatible?" These were Xiao Li's words from the bottom of his heart, and the feeling he wanted to express most at the moment, and he didn't mean to provoke Lu Mengqi on purpose. She didn't react until she finished speaking, and then followed the trend to observe her reaction.
Lu Mengqi just smiled and said nothing, Xiao Li sighed inwardly.
In the company, she and Xia Zhen have the best relationship. First, they have similar tastes and similar personalities. Second, they are all single young women. Of course, Xia Zhen said goodbye to being single not long ago, but there is no second point, and it does not affect them. Relationship.
In the past, Xia Zhen always swore that she would not be in love for the time being. Even so, when she was bored, she would guess what kind of man would be suitable for Xia Zhen if she fell in love. She never thought of the right one, but now looking at Pei Chengan, she sincerely felt that he was very suitable for Xia Zhen.
In fact, most women would like a man like Pei Chengan, it's no wonder that Lu Mengqi misses him. But Xiao Li didn't worry much about Xia Zhen, because Pei Chengan had his heart on Xia Zhen, and ordinary people couldn't break it.
When the fishing is over, several people get together to deal with the fish they caught. They caught a lot, a total of ten to twenty catties, and they couldn't finish it, and they didn't want to take it away, so they had to let some of it go.
In the end, the boss cheerfully asked them to put them in the place surrounded by fishing nets, saying that the fish inside had almost been eaten, and he didn't have to bother if there were any customers coming.
They picked a few fish they wanted to eat for the boss to cook, including crucian carp. Once they told the boss, the boss knew what to do.
After packing up the fishing gear, they went back to the wooden building to drink tea and chat, waiting for lunch.
