Chapter 16: Troubled
The three of them chatted, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed, and then the waiter began to serve the dishes he had just ordered one after another, Zhang Wen pointed to a plate of very delicate beef in the center of the round table and said to Mu Chen: "Mu Chen, you taste it, this is the beef you just said was expensive." ”
Mu Chen looked at the plate of beef, and his heart had already begun to calculate rapidly, he roughly counted it, this plate of beef is only 20 slices at most, which is equivalent to a piece of nearly 30 yuan, that is to say, a piece of beef on this plate is equivalent to a pound of beef in the vegetable market outside, and this value has completely increased dozens of times.
Seeing that the two girls were looking at him, Mu Chen had to move his chopsticks and put a piece of beef in his mouth, and suddenly, a grass-like fragrance instantly occupied Mu Chen's taste buds, and he just wanted to chew it, but found that this piece of beef was extremely tender, and it quickly slid down his throat.
"How about it?" Zhang Wen sandwiched another slice of beef for Mu Chen, "You comment on the taste." ”
After putting the beef in his mouth again, Mu Chen gently sent the beef into his stomach with his tongue this time, and he said with an endless aftertaste: "This beef is simply amazing, I have never eaten such delicious beef!"
"So it's worth the price," Qin Can said with a smile on the side, "This is our signature dish, if you like it, take one home to eat when you leave in a while." ”
When Mu Chen heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to bring such an expensive dish, I'm already very content to eat here." ”
The three of them finished the meal in a very harmonious atmosphere, Mu Chen hurriedly said goodbye to the two, he still had very important things to do, the money owed to Zhang Wen had not been repaid, and his heart was always panicked.
In the evening, Mu Chen finally rode a motorcycle back to the house, and as soon as he entered the house, Mu Chen saw Mu Shulin and Zhao Ailian working in the yard.
Seeing Mu Chen coming in, Mu Shulin pointed to the seeds that occupied a corner of the courtyard and said, "You bought these seeds?"
Mu Chen nodded: "These 400 kilograms of skullcap seeds are just enough to plant the entire mountainous area." ”
"But where did you get so much money?" Mu Shulin was concerned about this, "The young man who delivered the goods said, these 400 kilograms of seeds cost 60,000 yuan, how can our family have so much money?"
"Don't worry, Dad," Mu Chen smiled very confidently, "Actually, I still have two acres of bitter ginseng that I haven't sold, and in a few days, when Mr. Zhang sends someone to collect it, we will have money!"
"Okay, you ghost boy," Mu Shulin slapped Mu Chen with a smile when he heard this, "No wonder you don't look in a hurry, it turns out that you have been prepared for a long time, why didn't you say this matter earlier? ”
Mu Chen smiled: "Aren't you even more worried when you say that? That's millions of bitter ginseng!"
When Mu Chen said the words "millions", even he was startled, a few days ago he met Zhang Wen and earned the first pot of gold in his life, but it was only 80,000, but as long as these two acres of bitter ginseng were ripe, he could earn at least 1.2 million, this number, even he didn't think of it.
Mu Shulin frowned when he heard this, he pushed Mu Chen and said, "Don't talk big here, you kid, go and eat the meal first, I will use a small sack to help you divide these seeds with your mother, so that you won't be easy to operate on the mountain." ”
"Then it's hard for you two elders!" Mu Chen finished speaking, and hurriedly went into the house to eat, if it was usual, he could go to the village to play with his friends leisurely at this time, but now his life trajectory is completely different.
After eating, Mu Chen rushed to Weimin Primary School non-stop, he was so busy these days that he didn't have a few words with Lan Xiaodie, and he didn't know how her progress was, and whether the Wang Ba, who had been stabbed a thousand times, still came to harass her.
As soon as he walked to Weimin Primary School, Mu Chen heard a noisy sound, and ran in to see that several people were lighting the construction workers in the dark, Mu Chen swept around, and soon saw Lan Xiaodie.
At this moment, Lan Xiaodie was very different from usual, her clothes were dirty, and she was wearing an apron that didn't fit, Mu Chen saw this, and hurriedly walked over.
"Doctor Lan, I didn't expect you to be busy all at such a late hour, can't you do it during the day?"
Lan Xiaodie wiped the sweat from her head, propped up her waist and raised her head, she smiled bitterly at Mu Chen: "You are a busy person, you run outside every day, you don't know what we are doing here, even if we can wait, but the cement can't wait, and the cement that came out must be used up that night, so we are all working overtime." ”
Mu Chen nodded, and looked up to see that the masons that Lan Xiaodie was looking for were also working hard at the moment, and their family members were holding flashlights to light them.
Seeing this, Mu Chen suddenly remembered something, such an important matter, he actually ignored it!
Weimin Elementary School has never been taken care of since it was abandoned, and if it weren't for the fact that Lan Xiaodie's health center was moving here, Mu Chen wouldn't have thought about it at all - there was no electricity for Weimin Elementary School!
This matter is the number one thing for Mu Chen, not to mention the problem of lighting, even if the construction can be overcome by flashlight in the past few days, but on the day of completion, how should Lan Xiaodie live here? Mu Chen thought of this, and suddenly felt a little distressed, but he didn't expect that the busy past few days would make Lan Xiaodie suffer here.
Thinking of this, Mu Chen hurriedly came to Lan Xiaodie and said to her, "Doctor Lan, you ......"
"Just call me Fluttershy," Fluttershy said earnestly as she looked up at Mu Chen, sweat sliding down her cheeks, soaking her blouse and revealing the outline of her shoulder straps. ”
Mu Chen glanced at it unconsciously, and quickly looked away, he was very happy to hear it, the change of title can prove that his position in Lan Xiaodie's heart is also changing step by step, Mu Chen said: "Have you been like this for the past few days? Didn't you go to the village chief to talk about the electricity?"
"Of course I'm looking for it," Lan Xiaodie said and suddenly became a little angry, "Just like I told you last time, the funds have not been approved, and if you want electricity, you can use our own money, but how can I have so much money?
When Mu Chen heard that it was money again, he was instantly angry, which made it clear that Wang Zhuang was playing tricks in it, it stands to reason that the new health center is completely a convenient project, and the town should approve the funds, but as long as it is the funds that Lan Xiaodie needs, the town will not approve them, which is really a bit deceptive.
Mu Chen thought for a while, and finally calmed himself down, this is not the first time such a thing has happened, and it can't be the last, and he doesn't plan to go to Wang Zhuang to settle accounts, since it's a matter of money, then just think of a way to make money, Mu Chen thought of the two acres of bitter ginseng that he was about to be able to sell, and suddenly had confidence again.
