Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

It was an ordinary weekend. Xia Zhi, a new junior high school student, followed Chun Ni and prepared to go up the mountain to look for mushrooms.

It rained all night, and the sky looked especially clean, as if it had been washed by water. Clouds seemed to be dotted in the blue sky.

Ever since Chunni came to this world, she has liked the environment here very much. The green trees, the blue sky, and the white clouds that she wants to take a bite of always bring her a good mood.

Chunni seemed to have forgotten the sky covered by smog in her previous life.

Chunni took a deep breath and felt refreshed. Even her muddy feet looked cute.

There were still more mushrooms in the old place, and in a short while, the brother and sister had picked up a lot.

"Sister, there is a rabbit here!" Qiu Guo saw a wild rabbit and hurriedly reminded Chunni in a low voice.

This is the first time I have seen a rabbit in such a long time. But rabbits are hard to catch because they jump around.

I don’t know if it was with divine help, but the three of them actually caught two big rabbits.

Chunni has already thought of several kinds of delicious rabbit dishes in her mind, including cold rabbit, spicy rabbit head, roasted rabbit, and her favorite fresh pot rabbit in her previous life.

Chunni couldn't wait to take her brother down the mountain.

As soon as they entered the house, their cousin Chun Xing came to call the four of them to come home for dinner.

Chunni was a little confused. It wasn't a festival, so why did her uncle invite guests to his house?

After closing the door, Chunni asked Chunxing and found out that today was the day her cousin Yang Bangming was going to see her.

"Our family is not rich, and my brother is not in good health. We have been asking matchmakers to find a partner for a long time, but to no avail. Finally, a family named Wang from the next town is willing to come and take a look." Chun Xing's words were a little excited, but also worried.

"Sister Chunxing, don't worry. My cousin is a gentle-looking man with a kind heart and an upright character. Anyone who is not blind will fall in love with him." Chunni comforted her cousin and asked Qiuguo to go back to the kitchen to get the remaining half of the smoked bamboo rat.

When a girl comes to visit the family, she must prepare dinner for her. This bamboo rat can be considered as a dish for my uncle's family.

Chun Xing had eaten this smoked bamboo rat before, which was given to her by Chun Ni. Her uncle and cousin had also tried to catch it in the mountains, but they didn't know if it was because of bad luck or the wrong method, they never caught a bamboo rat.

At this time, the guests had not arrived yet, and the uncle and his cousin Yang Bangming were cleaning.

As they talked, both of them had smiles on their faces, and it seemed that they were looking forward to meeting each other.

Seeing Chunni and her brother coming, Yang Bangming immediately came out to greet them.

"Chun Ni, Xia Zhi, Qiu Guo, Dong Lin, you are here. Come in quickly."

As soon as Chun Xing got home, she went into the kitchen. She had to help cook.

Chun Xing and Qiu Guo also went into the kitchen to help, leaving Xia Zhi to talk to the old man and the others.

"Auntie, is there anything you need us to do?" Chunni asked directly.

The aunt is stewing rice, the most luxurious white rice!

"The meal will be ready soon, so we'll just have to cook the vegetables. You guys can help me peel the potatoes. Qiuguo, help me light the fire, I need to steam the bamboo rat." The old lady didn't hesitate and gave orders directly.

We are a family, so there is no need to be too polite.

While everyone was busy, the matchmaker and the Wang family arrived.

The old lady wiped her hands on her apron and went out with a smile.

The matchmaker, Aunt Lu, was wearing a blue floral dress today, her hair was neatly combed, and she looked very energetic. There was no legendary matchmaker's mole on her face.

Four people from the Wang family came, an old couple with their son and daughter. Their clothes were even worse than those of my uncle's family, with patches on patches and you couldn't tell what the clothes looked like originally.

Seeing Grandpa Yang and his family, the Wang family's sad faces gradually showed a smile.

Wang Lamei, the daughter of the Wang family, was not ugly, but her face was not fleshy at all, and she looked like a modern paper doll. She followed her parents shyly, not daring to look at anyone, her face blushing.

Yang Andang quickly asked everyone to sit down and introduced his wife and son with a smile.

When Yang Bangming was mentioned, Wang Lamei looked up quickly, then immediately lowered her head, her face turning even redder.

Yang Bangming wasn't much better, but he was a man after all, and he forced himself to take care of the family who might be his father-in-law in the future.

The food was soon served on the table. There was smoked bamboo rat, stir-fried potato shreds with chili peppers, scrambled eggs, stir-fried sauerkraut, and mushroom soup. There were both meat and vegetables, which was a rare sumptuous meal at that time.

The group of people ate with gusto, the atmosphere was harmonious, and they had a great time talking. The whole Yang family thought that good things were about to happen.
