"Your sister-in-law is making fish balls for you today."
Ning Jing smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits after Xiao Ya kissed her.
I originally planned to make the fish balls in a few days, but after thinking about it, I decided to put it on the agenda first.
"Fish Ball?"
Upon hearing what his sister-in-law said, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard.
For some reason, the things my older brother brought over always turned into all sorts of delicious food in my sister-in-law's hands.
It's rare to find such large fish in this area.
Not to mention the fish balls that require careful preparation!
After removing the fish bones, Ning Jing chopped the fish meat into a paste, then added egg whites to make fish balls. She then added a handful of spinach and cooked it into a soup, which was perfect for the children.
It offers the deliciousness of fish without the worry that the twins, who are too young, might choke on fish bones while eating.
The extra egg yolks were used by Ning Jing to add two more eggs, along with a handful of garlic, and stir-fried until it became a delicious dish.
We've already finished the salted meat we had for Chinese New Year, since it's almost harvest season now.
In this sweltering heat, Ning Jing rarely keeps the meat that Fu Hongxing brings her overnight.
Cook it on the same day to prevent it from spoiling the next day.
Once these fish balls are made, they can at least be kept in water, or even submerged in a well, for several days.
This year's harvest is much better than in previous years.
Because the soil was fertilized, the yield per acre increased by at least 100 jin (50 catties).
This wasn't what made Tan Dingguo happiest. What made him happiest was the two mu of experimental fields planted by the educated youth at the educated youth settlement.
It should be noted that these two acres of land can be considered as reclaimed wasteland.
The current output is actually higher than the harvest from those who have diligently fertilized the fields.
The yield per mu is nearly 150 jin more.
This number thrilled Tan Dingguo.
If one mu yields an extra 150 jin of grain, what about ten mu or a hundred mu?
Moreover, if rice is planted according to the methods devised by Chen Daohui and his advisors, not only will grain production increase, but the fish raised in the rice paddies will also benefit.
After Ning Jing cooked and ate it, she named the fish "Rice Flower Fish".
There are about 180 fish in just two acres of land. How many fish can be raised in hundreds of acres of rice paddies?
Although he sells these fish for 45 cents each, he can't compete with the large quantity available at the time.
One hundred acres of land can raise nearly a thousand fish.
That's roughly 500 yuan in cash!
This is a great joy and a wonderful thing for the village.
Moreover, Tan Dingguo had his wife cook and eat one of the fish this time.
It tastes quite good, with no muddy or fishy smell at all.
Moreover, the name "rice flower fish" given by Ning Jing is truly fitting.
When you cut open the fish's belly, you can still find rice flowers inside its intestines.
In contrast to the bumper harvest in Xishan Village, the county received news that several other production brigades were barely making ends meet.
Some brigades even had no harvest at all. If it weren't for Chen Daohe having Fu Hongxing collect so much grain and secretly distribute it, the people in these brigades would probably have starved to death.
Although they could barely make ends meet and not starve, having enough to eat was a luxury.
This kind of longing resonated deeply with Gao Dani.
If it weren't for the grain she brought back after her divorce, her younger siblings and her father might have starved to death.
However, after finally getting through the winter, spring, and summer, when the autumn harvest came, not only could they not get any food to eat, but the brigade couldn't even pay the quota for grain!
This was like adding insult to injury for their brigade.
