Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Spring plowing season arrived quietly while Chunni was busy teaching and studying on her own.

Before planting rice this year, Chunni went to find team leader Yang Anzhang and suggested to him that they feed fish in the rice fields.

Raising rabbits last year benefited the entire production team. Even the laziest families still had a lot of rabbits left after handing in five big rabbits. Whether these rabbits were exchanged for food, killed directly for meat, or handed over to the commune, which then contacted the county meat processing plant to exchange them for money, the villagers were very happy.

The few families who ate the breeding rabbits were regretting it so much, but it was useless to regret, because they had to return last year's share of rabbits this year.

As soon as he heard about raising fish in rice fields, Yang Anzhang asked with interest: "Chun Ni, where did you hear about raising fish in rice fields?"

"Ah, actually this is what my mother told me when I was a child. It seems that her hometown used to raise fish in rice fields. The fish can eat the insect eggs and grass in the rice fields, and their feces can be used as fertilizer to nourish the rice seedlings. When the rice harvest is good, the fish will grow up. Isn't this the best of both worlds?" Chunni tried hard to make up a lie. Her mother had been gone for several years, and there was no evidence to prove this.

Yang Anzhang said nothing and looked at Chunni.

Chunni was a little panicked.

"Actually, I think fish is delicious. The fish distributed in the fish pond during the Chinese New Year is not enough to eat. When it rained heavily last year, didn't the rice fields receive some fish and shrimp? I've been thinking about it. I heard that fish that have eaten rice flowers are particularly plump and sweet. So, I came to ask."

Chunni looked embarrassed as if her thoughts had been exposed, her face turning red with embarrassment.

Yang Anzhang smiled, it was normal for children to like eating. He decided to go to the commune to ask.

Unexpectedly, Secretary Liu of the commune was quite interested in his idea.

Last year, their production team successfully raised rabbits and provided rabbit meat to the county, and their commune was praised by the county. This year, their commune distributed rabbits again. Not only the fourth production team where Shizishan Village is located, but also several other production teams responded positively and joined the rabbit breeding team. I hope that this year, while every family can eat meat, they can also help fellow urban workers and contribute to socialist construction.

"Xiao Yang, your production team did a good job raising rabbits last year. Not only did you provide rabbit meat to the county, which is a contribution to the country, but you also let the people eat meat. Now you have come up with the idea of ​​raising fish in rice fields. You are a smart boy. The country needs young cadres with sharp brains like you!" Secretary Liu admired Yang Anzhang very much and praised him profusely.

The main reason is that it is really difficult to eat meat nowadays.

Last year, the meat processing factory launched rabbit meat, which was very popular among the public.

His children love to eat it.

Yang Anzhang was secretly delighted and quickly complained.

"Secretary Liu, this is all for the purpose of letting the people have more meat to eat. How exactly do you raise fish in rice fields? Where do the fish fry come from? We have been thinking about it for a long time but can't come up with a solution. So we came to the commune to ask you. You are knowledgeable and know many capable people. You can definitely help us, right?" In the end, Secretary Liu couldn't resist Yang Anzhang's flattery and decided to help.

Secretary Liu has great executive ability and quickly contacted the county farm. The current scale of the county farm could not meet the county's meat supply. They were very happy that the commune below could help them provide some meat to the meat processing plant, such as the live rabbits previously provided by Shengli Commune.

Now, when people heard that Shengli Commune wanted to learn how to raise fish in rice fields, they sent a clerk who had raised fish in rice fields to Shizishan Village to teach the villagers how to raise fish in rice fields. The meat processing factory was also happy to provide some fish fry, as long as they gave them some big fish when they harvested them.

Yang Anzhang and the villagers had already planted the seedlings, and then they met the county breeding farm delivering fish fry. He was very happy and invited the villagers to learn how to raise fish together.

The fish fry were successfully planted in the fields, and the villagers were more excited than last year.

Chunni went to the black market again that day and found that everything was normal, so she decided to resume the cold-eaten rabbit business. She went to find Yang Bangming and told him her idea.

"Okay. You start making some today, and I'll sell it on the black market tomorrow."

Looking at his wife who was already six months pregnant but whose belly was still small, Yang Bangming decisively agreed with Chunni's opinion.

Fortunately, he earned some money with Chunni last year, so he had a good New Year, otherwise he would have been worried to death.

He fell ill again at the beginning of spring and spent a lot of money on medicine. Now when he heard that the black market was officially opened, he was eager to try it.

"Okay, let's kill a rabbit today to test the waters. If the situation goes well, we'll kill more." Chunni nodded to Wang Lamei and left.

Chunni's business started to pick up again. In addition to money, black market transactions could also use cloth coupons, meat coupons, and even industrial coupons. With these coupons, Chunni's family finally no longer had a hard time.
