"How did you deal with these lotus roots in the past?"

"The workers are asked to dig up and eat them themselves, or dig some to give to friends, and the remaining roots are used as seeds for the next year... Someone said before that these lotus roots must be completely removed, otherwise the new lotus roots will rot."

In this case, there is no psychological burden and you can keep digging.

Lin Xu dug up a dozen noodle lotus roots and six or seven crispy lotus roots. The long ones had seven or eight knots and the short ones had three or four knots.

These lotus roots can be stored at home for a long time with soil in them. When eating, wash them and then scrape off the skin. The taste will still be fresh and sweet.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xu and Ren Jie packed the dug lotus roots in snakeskin bags and put them in the car. At the same time, they used an aerial camera to take a bird's-eye view of the entire ginkgo garden.

If I really take over later, I won’t be blinded.

After all this work, it’s almost time to go back.

He came to the pond and said to everyone:

"It's almost time to go. We still have to prepare dinner when we get back. I don't know what time we will eat today... By the way, let us see everyone's catch."

If we were directly asked to put away our poles, this group of fishermen would definitely refuse by saying, "I'll come back with another 100 million poles."

But when it came to showing off the catch, it immediately scratched everyone’s itch. Xie Baomin first said:

"My catch was the simplest, a crocodile weighing about two kilograms, and four or five flat crucian carp weighing over half a kilogram. I should be at the bottom today."

Although he said he was at the bottom, his face was filled with uncontrollable pride.

This catch is enough to make a delicious meal for my wife and children in the evening. I fry the crucian carp, stew two pieces of crucian carp in soup, and braise the rest for a delicious meal.

Lao Suntou happened to catch a crucian carp at this moment, and he said as he collected his pole:

"One carp, a bunch of crucian carp, I don't even count them, there are about a dozen in total, they are all small fish, a bit hard to handle."

The retired SWAT instructor said that he couldn't take it out, so he took out the fish guard and shook it deliberately to make the fish inside jump.

It’s full of caution.

Shen Guofu calmly sat up from the fishing chair:

"I only caught three carp, each weighing two to three kilograms... I don't have room to put them at home, so I'll just send them to the store when I go back."

Several people were packing their things. Shen Jiayue and Geng Lele had already finished closing the stall and were thinking of ways to take back the few kilograms of small fish from Yuhuzhong.

Only Chen Yan was sitting quietly on the shore, like a sculpture.

It had been an afternoon and the fish hadn't moved at all. She was unwilling to go back and planned to stay there for a while. She even made plans to drive to buy fish after everyone returned.

You talked so much when you came here, how can you do it without catching a decent fish?

In the small pavilion not far away, Dundun, who had already slept in Han Shuzhen's arms, couldn't help but yawn when she saw this situation.

Forget it, let’s not bully my aunt.

"Yanbao, why don't you leave yet?"

"Wait a minute, I feel like a big fish...hey, my float...haha, the fish is on!"

Chen Yan was just talking when she suddenly noticed that the fish floated and she subconsciously clenched the fishing rod with both hands.

When she pulled it out, the seven-meter-two fishing rod suddenly bent into a bow.

"The fish is on. The fish is on. My brother-in-law quickly helped me assemble the net. This fish is definitely big, hahahaha... finally the fish came."

Only then did Lin Xu discover that his sister-in-law, who was determined to catch big fish, didn't even open the net.

It really takes fishing metaphysics to its extreme.

He assembled the net and stood aside waiting.

Not long after, a catfish weighing six or seven kilograms was pulled to the surface.

Chen Yan backed up the fishing rod and took a few steps back. After reaching the range of the net, Lin Xu hit the catfish in the head with a steady move and pulled it to the shore.

Lin Xu mentioned it and said:

"Six pounds and eight taels, not bad, not bad, very powerful."

"Hahahaha, this fish is so big, it can really catch something giant!"

Mr. Chen smiled so hard this time that his molars were exposed. As soon as he took off the hook, he couldn't wait to take a group photo to tell the good news to the sisters in the group and encourage the fishing veterans in the group.

Well, it’s just a simple encouragement, nothing more.

After she finished taking the photo, Geng Lele immediately came over:

"Sister Yan, let me use your fish."

After saying that, she held it in her hand and stretched it forward thoughtfully to make the fish appear bigger. After Xie Yuhang finished taking the photo, the girl happily posted the photo to the group.

"I'm happy to win the second one, a big catfish weighing seven pounds and four taels. If you want to eat it, 1 deducted!"

Chen Yan, who was sending a message in the group, took a look and realized what was going on among the group of people this morning:

"I'm just telling you, how could there be so many silver carp... After all, I am ranked second in today's fishing rankings?"

After that, she said to Shen Jiayue and Geng Lele:

"Thank you both for using bait to attract the small fish. Otherwise, if these small fish made a fuss, they might not be able to catch this big catfish weighing six pounds or eight taels."

Hehe, this situation makes me feel so happy when I say this!

After everyone has packed up, drive back with Mi Lan and the others.

After entering the Fifth Ring Road, Xie Baomin went home directly. Mi Lan and her girlfriends also turned around and headed towards Sanlitun because they had invited friends for dinner.

Lin Xu, Chen Yan, Shen Guofu and the others drove to Yingchun Street first, and sent Lao Sun and his wife home. They then put the extra catch in the store, picked up some ingredients for cooking in the evening, and picked up the food.

Zeng Xiaoqi here, driving home.

"Xubao, Xubao, please teach me how to fry fish in the air fryer. I'll try it."

Lin Xu looked at the small white bars weighing about three to four kilograms and said:

"I have to clean up first. Just wait. I'll call you when I finish cleaning up."

"Oh...can I air-fry it first and make something else to eat?"

"Okay, you can go downstairs and buy some marinated chicken wings with bones and meat, adjust the temperature and time according to the instructions, and you'll be good to go."

"Sounds so simple."

Shen Jiayue was too lazy to go downstairs and directly used her mobile phone to place an order for express delivery from a nearby supermarket and bought some ingredients such as finished meat skewers and chicken wings.

In the living room, Shen Guofu and Geng Lele were playing games with game controllers.

Zeng Xiaoqi sat on the sofa next to her, talking about the results of today's meeting with little interest:

"The leader of the station said that I can manage the column, but the advertising investment must be handed over. He also said that this is a key project of the station and so on, and asked me to focus on the overall situation."

Chen Yan said as soon as she heard this:

"This must be the advertiser that you rejected before and left the relationship with your leadership... This kind of thing is basically unsolvable, because you think that the program you have devoted your efforts to is just a golden egg in the eyes of others, and they can't even wait.

When the golden rooster is hatched, I want to crack the egg... Little Qiqi, what are you going to do?"

Zeng Xiaoqi shook her head:

"I haven't decided yet. Several leaders asked me to think about it first. Mr. Zhen is quite supportive of me, but he is the channel director and can't control this."

Chen Yan patted her shoulder:

"No matter what decision you make, we will advance and retreat with you. Don't put pressure on yourself. Enjoy the delicious food later, eat and drink enough, and get enough sleep before we talk about work."

"Thank you, Baby Yan."

"Tch, you're welcome. I'm your eldest sister. I won't sit idly by and do nothing if anything happens to anyone."

In the kitchen, Lin Xu put several big fish in the pool, and he, Ren Jie, and his assistant Han Shuzhen were cleaning up the small fish. They used scissors to fry the fish's belly and take out the internal organs. That's it.

This kind of small fish does not need to be scaled or gills removed. It can be cooked in an air fryer after being marinated.

However, the air fryer can fry more than ten strips at a time. With so many people eating today, it is faster to fry in the oil pan. It is also a good time to compare and see the difference between the air fryer and real frying.

Pick up the small fish, wash them once, drain the water immediately, add onions, ginger, peppercorns, salt, soy sauce and pepper to marinate.

After marinating, remove the onions, ginger and pepper, sprinkle some dry starch and mix well.

Then place baking paper under the air fryer and place the fish one by one.

Set the temperature and wait for the delicious food to come out of the pot.

Lin Xu set up a pan, heated it up and put the small fish on it one by one. He planned to try the baking method to see the difference between it and the air fryer or deep-frying.

Finally, he set up the oil pan and prepared to fry.

"Lin Xu, how are you going to eat this carp?"

"I'm going to make it into a fish. I'll clean it up later. The fish has to be killed and cooked right now...Brother-in-law, please help me chop up those green millet peppers and fresh peppers. I'll make it later.

The spicy rattan pepper flavor should be very good."

"Okay."
