Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 34: Smoke is coming out of the Yang Family's Ancestral Tomb

The timid teacher Cao never expected that Chunni would do so well in the exam. Not only did she get the first place in the junior high school graduation exam of the commune, but she also got the first place in the county. This result can also be ranked in the city, ranking second.

This is really a case of smoke rising from the ancestral grave, bringing honor to the family!

Teacher Cao was so happy that he didn't know east, west, south or north!

Chunni's grades are also her grades. With Chunni's grades, it is certain that she will be able to teach at Tuoxian Middle School!

She even spread the word about Chunni's tragic life, her strong will, and how she made the flowers of love and hope blossom in the barren land...

It feels like Wang Po selling melons and boasting about her products.

Lion Rock was also boiling.

No one could have imagined that Chunni, while studying and working, could actually pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer in the county. This was quite something in ancient times!

The villagers also praised Chunni, but their words were much simpler and more straightforward.

"Chun Ni has been smart since she was young, just like her father."

"Chun Ni is very hardworking and studies very late at night. Her family is poor and she can't afford to light an oil lamp, so she borrowed light from my house." Grandma Yang, Chun Ni's neighbor and fellow clan member, said tremblingly!

Well, this hole in the wall to borrow light has come out...

"Sister Chunni is also very smart. It is probably because of the blessing of the Kitchen God."

It's really like a dog trying to catch a mouse, meddling in other people's business. The Kitchen God is meddling in the affairs of Wenquxing!

With everyone's hard work, Chunni became famous, and a female reporter from the city's newspaper heard the news. She thought to herself, this is a model of both production and study! Yang Chunni not only holds up half the sky, but also makes the other half dim! She must go to interview her and let women across the country take Chunni as an example.

Role model Chunni…she declined!

"Comrade Yang, you can't be so selfish!" Reporter Li Ying said indignantly!

The self-centered Chunni said that the hat came out of nowhere. She could only wait quietly for reporter Li's follow-up.

Li Ying understood Chunni's meaning in seconds and was secretly delighted. She thought that with her eloquent speech, she would be able to convince the young comrade in front of her.

"Do you think your achievements are unimportant? On the contrary, your achievements and deeds are of great importance! I want to vigorously publicize your deeds and let those men who are too arrogant see that we women can also support our families and learn literary and martial arts to serve the emperor."

Chunni stared at reporter Li in disbelief.

Li Ying immediately realized that those feudal dregs were not to be tolerated, and quickly made amends by saying, "You are so quick to speak, and you have no sense of responsibility. What I mean is that you can both learn knowledge and earn work points, which is amazing. More people must know that women can hold up half the sky. In addition to giving birth to children, girls can also be pillars of support like men."

Chunni really didn't think she was that good. As a junior high school student, she couldn't change the general public's idea of ​​favoring boys over girls.

It seems like reporter Li is deeply poisoned by the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls!

"I don't think a junior high school student like me has that much power. Instead of interviewing me, you might as well interview women who have achieved certain success in various fields. They are more educational."

"But, they..."

Chunni stopped reporter Li from saying anything. She had made up her mind and had no interest in appearing in the newspaper during this time of impending famine.

"Since we're here, why don't you eat before leaving, Sister Li?" Chunni asked with a smile.

"Why would you refuse? This is a good opportunity for you to become famous..." Li Yingcai didn't care how Chunni tried to change the subject. She would not give up until she achieved her goal!

"You want some news to attract attention, I can find one for you. Now I'm really hungry, can you cook first?"

Li Ying saw Chunni's impatience and quickly changed the subject. She would continue to persuade her after dinner!

Cold rabbit

Ingredients: One fresh rabbit

Seasoning: soy sauce, rock sugar, salt, dried chili pepper, MSG, garlic, ginger, star anise, tangerine peel, galangal, peppercorns, cooked sesame seeds

Production Method:

1. Dice the rabbit meat and marinate with salt, onion and ginger water;

2. Heat oil in a pan until it is % cooked, add the rabbit meat and stir-fry until the skin is slightly charred, remove the rabbit meat and set aside;

3. Leave a little oil in the pan, add star anise, galangal, peppercorns, ginger slices, garlic slices, and dried chili segments and stir-fry until fragrant;

4. Put the rabbit meat into the pot, add soy sauce and rock sugar, stir-fry until the rabbit meat turns brown, then add salt and MSG to season, finally add cooked sesame seeds and serve.

In order to cook this dish of cold rabbit, Chunni killed two big fat rabbits, used half a pound of cooking oil, and used most of the spices bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. Chunni was so distressed that she didn't look happy at all during the cooking process.

All the bad mood disappeared the moment I ate the rabbit coldly.

Xia Zhi couldn't wait to pick up a piece of rabbit meat and put it into his mouth.

"Hmm, I didn't taste anything with one piece. Let me try another one. Hiss..." Xia Zhi ate two or three pieces before stopping. He commented pretentiously: "It's spicy, fresh and fragrant. It's delicious."

Qiu Guo couldn't wait any longer, so he snatched the chopsticks from his brother's hand and moved precisely towards the rabbit meat.

"Hiss... It's a little spicy, but dry and fragrant, it tastes great!" Qiuguo was not as cunning as Xiazhi, so he said honestly.

Li Ying... these siblings don't know how to be polite! The host has already started eating before the guests have even started eating. Hmm, why is this smell so naughty, it keeps getting into her nose.

"Gudong, gulp..." This was the sound of Li Ying swallowing her saliva. Then, the sound of Li Ying's stomach growling followed.

Chunni and the other two looked at the guest Li Ying at the same time.

Li Ying stood up, stretched his muscles, and said: "I squatted for a long time to make fire, and my stomach was bloated, so I cried out."

Chunni turned back as if nothing had happened, took out a pair of chopsticks from her chopstick bag, and handed them to Li Ying, "Try it?"

Li Ying swallowed and wanted to take the chopsticks, but felt a little embarrassed, so she declined: "This, is not good?"

"Take it!" Chunni couldn't stand her coy look and stuffed the chopsticks to Li Ying.

Li Ying's hands were faster than her brain, and the rabbit meat went into her mouth quickly.

"Hmm...it's so delicious. Can I have another piece?"

Chunni...

"Puchi." Qiu Guo laughed.

Chunni glared at her sister fiercely. How could this little girl be so rude!

Qiu Guo secretly made a face, somewhat unconvinced.

Forget it, Chunni made up her mind to educate her sister after reporter Li left.

There is no basic courtesy.

This time, a lot of cold pot rabbit was made, and Chunni sent a portion to her uncle's house, her youngest uncle's (Yang Anzhang's) house, and He Yanqing's house.

When there are guests at home, it is impossible to have only one dish, so Chunni cooked a pickled bean soup. The dried beans are the green beans and cowpeas harvested from the vegetable field last year, or the pickled cabbage, which is soft, sticky, sour and spicy.

Add some corn porridge and you're done.

The simple dish and soup completely conquered Li Ying, and she kept looking back on the way back.

If conditions were better, Chunni would certainly like Li Ying to come to her home again. But seeing that the rice production was going to decline, she couldn't bring herself to ask Li Ying to come again.

I hope reporter Li can report the reduction in rice production in Lion Rock well.

A few days after reporter Li left, teachers from Tuo County Middle School and the city's high school came to her house one after another and invited Chunni to study at their school.

Chunni declined. She had no choice but to take care of her younger siblings. The reality made it impossible for her to study full-time.

The teacher from Tuo County Middle School turned out to be the friend that Teacher Cao mentioned. Teacher Chu was very interested in Chunni. After learning about Chunni's family situation, he agreed to let Chunni study at home. Her student status could be registered at their school. If she encountered any problems in her studies, she could also go to the school to find him, and he would tell her everything he knew.

Chunni thought about it for a few days and nodded in agreement.

Since you already have a junior high school diploma, there's nothing wrong with getting a high school diploma.

Chunni happily followed Teacher Chu to Tuoxian Middle School to register and receive the books.

Of course, the books are provided free of charge by the school.

What made Chunni most happy was that the commune middle school rewarded her ten yuan, and the commune rewarded her five yuan and a ceramic jar with the words "Serve the People" printed on it.

Fifteen yuan was half a month's salary for an average person at that time, and it was a huge sum of money.

Haha, there is a golden house in the book, the ancients were not deceiving her.
