"Haha, Fatty really pulled off that switcheroo trick! She took the delicious pig ears and tongue off the pig's head and traded almost an empty shell for a dozen bottles of beer with the production team. That was a great move, a smart deal!"
"The other groups are still struggling to find food. Group A not only hunted a wild boar, but also traded the meat for beer. Their quality of life is really good. If you didn't know better, you'd think they were on vacation."
"If the members of other groups saw this scene, they would probably feel both envious and jealous. Some of them were still gloating over finding a few edible wild vegetables, while others were still racking their brains about how to catch a small animal. In comparison, the leisure and contentment of Group A was like living in another world."
"There's an old saying, 'Fortune's wheel keeps turning,' and anything can happen now. Perhaps, around the next corner, other groups will find their chance to change their fate, while Group A needs to remain vigilant to protect their hard-won lead."
"Nothing else matters. Right now, what I'm most looking forward to is watching Group A's barbecue concert."
"Have you noticed that as evening approaches, the number of viewers has skyrocketed? The number of viewers watching Fatty's live stream has exceeded 200 million, which is almost half of all viewers. It seems that everyone is looking forward to the barbecue music concert hosted by Group A tonight."
News of Group A's barbecue concert tonight spread like wildfire, attracting not only viewers who were already watching the show, but also fans of celebrities such as Li Xian, Yang Chaoyue, and Liu Yifei.
Zhang Yixing's previous song "Jinsha Summer" generated a lot of buzz, and many people were also drawn to Li Yinsheng's song and came to Group A's live stream to be the first to hear Li Yinsheng's new song.
Viewers watching the live stream left comments expressing their desire to witness this special night.

After the production crew delivered the beer and took away the pig's head, the barbecue concert began, featuring grilled pork belly, tenderloin, eggplant, green beans, peppers, water spinach, fish, and conch...
The aroma filled the air, permeating the entire beach, and amidst the busy activity, laughter and cheerful chatter echoed everywhere.
"They're back." After finishing her work, Yang Chaoyue saw Li Xian, Xie Zhengyu, and Li Xiang return by boat, and she looked very happy.
The barbecue items are almost all cooked through.
Two tables on the beach were laden with grilled food, fruit, and beer, with bowls and chopsticks neatly arranged. Three light bulbs illuminated their barbecue area.
"Did you get anything today?" Zhang Yixing asked as he pulled the boat ashore with the ropes.
"Mr. Xie caught a moray eel, I caught three lobsters, and County Chief Li caught two groupers and collected some seaweed," Li Xiang replied as he pushed the boat from behind.
"We've been waiting for you all. The barbecue concert can begin now." Li Yinsheng stepped forward to take the seafood that Li Xiang and the others had caught at sea.
Unexpectedly, both the sea fish and the eel were prepared, and the eel was even cut into pieces.
Grouper, kelp, and lobster are grilled directly, while eel is skewered and ready to be grilled again.
Li Yinsheng moved swiftly, placing the freshly caught seafood one by one on the grill. The flickering charcoal flames illuminated her focused and joyful face. An even richer aroma of seafood rose into the air, mingling with the previous scent of grilled meat.
"Where did you get this beer?" Li Xiang asked curiously, looking at the beer on the table.
He knew exactly what their group had and what food they had stored, but there was definitely no beer.
“We traded a pig’s head to the production team,” Zhao Liying replied.
"Come on, everyone sit down and let's toast to our friendship and this unforgettable barbecue concert!" After everyone was seated and the beer bottles were opened, Li Yinsheng raised her beer bottle and loudly proposed.
"cheers!"
"cheers."
Everyone responded enthusiastically, raising their beers and clinking them together. At that moment, everyone felt very happy and relaxed.
"Let's fill our stomachs first before singing. Otherwise, we won't have the energy to sing," Zhao Liying said as she ate, holding a skewer of pork belly in one hand and a beer in the other.
"This pork belly is absolutely amazing! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the fat melts in your mouth—it's a feast for the taste buds. Paired with this ice-cold beer, it's refreshing and cuts through the richness—it's a small but certain happiness in summer," Liu Yifei exclaimed with a satisfied look as she ate the grilled pork belly.
"The tenderloin here is cooked to perfection, the meat is tender and juicy, the skin is slightly browned, locking in the essence of the juices, while the inside is soft and delicate, it's delicious," Li said with a smile.
"And this water spinach, so fresh and crisp, gets even more smoky flavor after grilling. Every bite is a gift from nature, refreshing and not greasy, it's a perfect match for grilled meat!" Yang Chaoyue nodded in agreement, took another bite of the vegetable skewer in his hand, and his face was filled with a happy smile.
"Teacher Li, County Chief Li, Zhang Yixing, and the leader, let's have a drink together." At this moment, Xie Zhengyu gestured with a beer.
"Fatty, Sisi, Yingbao, let's have one too!" Yang Chaoyue followed suit, raising his beer.
The atmosphere gradually warmed up, and the air was filled with friendship and joy.
"Today is truly a wonderful day. We have delicious food, good friends, and the starry sky to keep us company." Li Yinsheng looked up at the night sky, where countless stars seemed to twinkle in celebration of their reunion.
"Yes, it feels like all my worries have vanished at this moment." Zhang Yixing's eyes were full of tenderness and contentment as he looked at Li Yinsheng.
"Speaking of which, we have to thank the production team for providing us with this opportunity to get so many of us together and enjoy the barbecue music concert that Group A hosted for us."
"Thank you for your hospitality, Group A." Li Xian raised his glass, and another round of toasts ensued, infusing his gratitude and appreciation into the wine before downing it in one gulp.
As night deepened, the firelight on the barbecue grill grew brighter, illuminating every smiling face and creating a particularly warm atmosphere.
"I'm looking forward to your songs, and I'm also looking forward to the new song you wrote, Fatty." Xie Zhengyu finished his beer, opened another can, and said in a light and cheerful tone.
"Haha, Mr. Xie, you're the first one to urge me to hand in my homework! But don't worry, the new song is on its way, and I guarantee it will be a refreshing experience for you. Tonight's performance will definitely not disappoint you!" Li Yinsheng replied with a smile, her eyes gleaming with mischief.
"Then we must enjoy the rest of our time. Not only will we have delicious food, but we'll also have great songs. It's truly one of life's greatest pleasures," Xie Zhengyu said while eating skewers.
"Let's start, to warm things up." Yang Chaoyue thought of the song she had rehearsed that afternoon and couldn't wait to sing it.
