Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

A good harvest is always a happy occasion. No matter who you are, you will have a smile on your face! Some people even prepare side dishes!

"The celery in my home is only a few centimeters tall. It would be a waste to pull it up and eat it now! I have to go to my uncle's house to look for some." Yang Ersao has a better life now. She is willing to add some seasoning to her vegetables. Celery and green onions are must-haves when making fish.

Some villagers flattered her, "Second sister-in-law, you don't have celery at home, but I do! I have pickled celery in a jar at home, and it's delicious when cooked with fish!"

Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "I'm so sorry..."

The woman nodded repeatedly, "What's wrong with that? Our two families are relatives within the fifth degree of mourning. Besides, my cooking skills will be wasted on this good side dish, sour celery. The dishes cooked by your Yuejin can be smelled from a long distance away!"

Hearing someone praising her son, Yang Ersao was delighted, but she was very reserved: "Since you are so sincere about giving it to me, I will go to your house to get it later?"

"Sincerely, sincerely. I'll send the fish home after I divide it. It's only two steps away! By the way, second sister-in-law, I heard Qianjin is doing very well in Pengcheng. I don't know if he needs help. Look at my second boy, he's diligent and good at talking..."

Although Yang Ersao was somewhat vain, she knew her own limitations and would not rule over her son. She thought for a moment before saying, "Hey, Qianjin's business is doing well now, and he can handle it all by himself. When he needs someone, I'll help you negotiate a settlement." But she was muttering in her heart, if he really needs someone, why would he pull in someone who is five generations younger than him, instead of his own brother Yuejin! But she had a smile on her face, and was obviously very satisfied with the flattery.

Chunni was busy and flustered. The naughty Cici was so happy to see so many fish that he ordered Zuzu to go closer to see the fish. Chuchu and Chunmei wanted to follow him.

The place where the fish were being caught was already surrounded by three layers of people. Fortunately, the villagers were still giving Chunni some face. When they saw a few people trying to squeeze in with their babies in their arms, they spontaneously made way for her. The group of six was able to see the situation in the fishing net up close!

"Chun Ni, this fish must weigh a thousand pounds, right?" Yun Shu approached Chun Ni and asked.

Chunni made a rough estimate and replied: "Probably." She was not very sure.

Yang Anzhang, who was standing not far away, had asked someone to bring a few large baskets used to hold pigs, and was directing the people in the water to put the fish into the bamboo baskets.

Da Zhuang was lively by nature. Seeing that everyone was staring at him intently, he deliberately counted loudly: "One, two, three..."

"Louder!" a villager on the shore shouted!

Da Zhuang shouted even louder, "Seven, eight, nine..."

"Hahahaha!"

There were actually more than 1300 fish in this fishing net. When they were finally weighed, they weighed more than kilograms!

After hearing the weight reported by Old Master Chu, the villagers smiled even more! There are about 100 households, and each family must get about kilograms of fish! It's so comfortable!

The work in the water is not easy. Xia Zhi and the others have gone ashore, so it’s time for another group of people to go into the water!

Old Master Chu spoke again, "Those who are guarding the gap, check whether the water in the gap is big enough. Make sure the water flows smoothly and don't let those floating water plants block the gap!"

"I got it, Uncle Chu!" Someone responded from afar!

Since it is a pond, of course the water must be drained and all the fish must be caught! The less water in the pond, the easier it is to catch fish! At least people in the water will have to walk less!

Old Master Chu coughed again, "Alright, alright, let's switch positions on the shore and in the water, and the second round of casting the nets will begin!"

"well!"

"Get it!"

……

Although it is very cold underwater, the villagers' hearts are warm!

Xia Zhi came to Yun Shu when he was free and said, "Oh, this movement really exhausted me. My back is sweating..." He looked like he was begging for praise. Chun Ni couldn't bear to look at him and decisively looked away.

However, Yun Shu fell for it and quickly pulled Xia Zhi aside to ask about his well-being.

Chunni...

After three rounds of casting nets, the fish in the pond were basically caught.

Yang Anzhang then arranged for someone to weigh the fish, using the same large beam scale that the agricultural cooperative used to weigh fat pigs!

In the end, the total weight was more than 2,600 kilograms.

"Wow! I haven't fished for a few years, but the fish have grown so much!"

"What a treat! What a treat!"

……

Yang Anzhang didn't care about what the villagers said. He called the village accountant, made a quick estimate, and arranged to distribute the fish!

Old Master Chu took the initiative to give up the trumpet and handed it to Yang Anzhang! "Stop arguing, go home and get the bucket, we will divide the fish now! Don't be so careless, do you still want to cook the fish tonight?"

Most of the villagers brought buckets, and only a few foolish ones, upon hearing Yang Anzhang calling out, ran home excitedly to get buckets!

Yang Anzhang didn't care about those who went home, and arranged for those who had buckets to line up to get the fish!

"Several officers on our team have discussed it and decided to give each person five kilograms of fish. Each of you should calculate the amount of fish you want to take! If there are any leftovers at the end, they will be distributed to the young men who went into the water! Do you have any objections?"

The old man in the village made an estimate in his mind and felt that this way of dividing the fish would not be a disadvantage, so he nodded. When everyone saw that the old men all nodded, they had no objections and lined up excitedly!

In Chunni's family, only Chunni and her husband, Xiazhi and his wife, Qiuguo and Donglin had the chance to get fish. Chuci and his sister couldn't eat fish, so of course they weren't among those who got the fish! The old couple of the Chu family and Yan Ning weren't considered people from Lion Mountain at all, so they didn't get a share of the fish! Of course, Old Master Chu directed the whole thing, so he also deserved some credit, and Yang Anzhang decided to give him a big fish! This made the old man very happy, and he tied the fish tightly with mulberry bark, and deliberately dangled it in front of the old woman! The old lady waved her cane and chased him away!

The siblings Cici and Chuchu thought that the two grandparents were joking, so they clapped their hands and grinned brightly!

Chunni's family got seven fish, and together with Old Master Chu, they got eight in total! Chunni picked four to eat in the evening, and kept the rest in the water tank.

There are many people in the family, and their tastes are different. Chunni is going to make a whole fish feast! The two largest catfish are sliced ​​into pieces, and the fish fillets are pan-fried. The fish fillets are used to make spicy fish, which is spicy and spicy. Of course, the fish head is made into chopped pepper fish head! Fry the native crucian carp with lard until both sides are golden brown, pour in boiling water and simmer slowly. The crucian carp soup is milky white and delicious. Chunni said she can drink three bowls. The last grass carp is also sliced ​​and made into pickled fish, which is sour and spicy and delicious! This is specially made for the old lady. She pays attention to health preservation and doesn’t want to eat such greasy food at night!

When the dishes were served, the whole house was filled with the aroma of fish. No, the whole Shizishan Village was filled with the aroma of fish!
