"Yes, it's really delicious!" Meng Wenjie also nodded in praise.

Xia Yuxiang smiled, "Everyone is eating and chatting, I forgot to introduce just now, there are two young people in our group, the beauty sitting next to me is Xiaoqu, and the one sitting next to her is Xiaomeng, both of them are business elites selected from the company, and they also participate in the cooperation projects of Chinese enterprises and multinational companies in the 'Belt and Road'." ”

Hearing what Head Xia said, Professor Abbas also nodded, "Dean Zhang is already cultivating young people, admire and admire, we really need young people to join the 'Belt and Road' project and pass on the friendship." ”

"We Pakistan used to be very backward, with the help of China, now there is no power outage, we are iron buddies, good friends, when the Wenchuan earthquake in China, we Pakistan immediately sent a lot of tents to China. ”

"Yes, the friendship between China and Pakistan is very deep, and we are all good brothers who help each other in times of difficulty. ”

"Come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, and introduce us to this dish again!" said Head Xia.

"The following dish, but it is very famous, is a Pakistani medicinal diet. ”

"Medicinal food?" Qu Lihua put down her chopsticks and raised her head to take a look.

"Well, this dish is lamb braised with potatoes!"

"This lamb curry dish is widely popular throughout North India and Pakistan. ”

"It's simple and rich, with lamb, potatoes and tomatoes as the main ingredients, seasoned with masala, cinnamon, bay leaves, cardamom, ginger and onions, and often served with rice and scones, making it the most representative of the Pakistani cuisine. ”

Qu Lihua asked: "Professor Abbas, I found that beef and mutton have become the main ingredients, is your cattle and sheep breeding industry developing very well?"

"Miss Xiaoqu, you are so smart, you got to the point!"

"Yes, Pakistan is a typical agricultural country, agriculture occupies an important position in the national economy, Pakistan's agriculture is mainly planting, grain crops mainly include wheat, rice, millet, sorghum, corn, barley, etc., of which wheat, rice, cash crops are mainly cotton, sugarcane, tobacco, etc., of which cotton, sugarcane is the mainstay, animal husbandry has a good foundation, fishery, forestry development potential. ”

"Pakistan has always attached great importance to the development of agriculture and has taken positive measures to raise the level of agricultural development, including strengthening agricultural scientific research, vigorously building water conservancy, improving the irrigation network of farmland, gradually implementing agricultural mechanization, insisting on providing a large amount of financial support and subsidies for agriculture, and implementing the policy of preferential purchase prices for agricultural products to stimulate the enthusiasm of peasants in production. ”

"Pakistan's rice exports are the third largest in the world, the number of goats raised is also the third in the world, and the output of mutton, including goat meat, is only second to China, accounting for the second place in the world, and Pakistan's animal husbandry is developing very well. ”

"China has become the world's largest meat importer, and the world knows that China is now the world's largest meat importer, so many countries are eager to cooperate with China, and Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil are the main sources of Chinese beef and mutton imports. ”

"The Chinese quality inspection agency is inspecting the slaughterhouses in India, and if they pass the inspection, India will also become a meat supplier to China. ”

"This is a huge business opportunity, for Pakistan, we can't give up the huge Chinese market, and we need all parties to work together to gain market access to China. ”

"Pakistan has obtained market access for rice, mangoes and citrus, China is very cautious about food safety, Pakistan's trade deficit with China continues, one of the important reasons is that the export products are too single, meat is a product that Pakistan has a comparative competitive advantage, and there is also a huge demand in China, and the export of meat products to China is an important step in export diversification. ”

"We are still working towards this goal, our agriculture and livestock industry has a lot of farmers and related workers, it is a huge industry, and it is very important to promote employment for these people. ”

"So to give them jobs, increase employment opportunities, Pakistan cooperation with China, it is very important, China is a huge market, everyone knows that there are a lot of Chinese, there are 1.3 billion people, every day in Chinese restaurants there are a large number of diners who consume a lot of meat, grain and vegetables, fruits, these agricultural products and meat if exported to China, it is a long-term business." ”

"So we are very willing to cooperate with China, no one is willing to give up China's huge market, this market, there are business opportunities everywhere, we must see the prospect of cooperation, increase the enthusiasm of production. ”

"Whenever I think of this, I feel very excited, Chinese advocate 'people take food as the sky', Chinese love food, in the current Chinese young Internet hot word is 'there are a lot of foodies', sorry, I say this, don't be angry." ”

"Haha!" Captain Xia Yuxiang smiled, "This point we Chinese admit, the common people, is very passionate about food, no matter where you go, eating is the first physiological need of people, can be full, in order to survive, if you can't eat, hungry, and don't have the heart to work, everyone says no?"

"Hahaha......" Everyone was amused by the humorous language of Head Xia Yuxiang, and the chat at the dinner table was much easier.
