However, Mu Chen quickly reacted, it was lunch time at this time, Mu Chen had already told Zhao Ailian that there were distinguished guests today, and he must take out the signature dishes at home to entertain them, and the beef he bought before was also there, although it was frozen in the refrigerator for a while, but these beef were moistened by grass, and the meat quality was not much worse than fresh beef.

Mu Chen thought of this and hurriedly said to Du: "Old man Du, since the work has been done, then go to my house and enjoy it, my mother has already made all the meals, let you taste the characteristics of our countryside!"

"Yo, what are your characteristics here?" I'll listen to it," Du Zhi said and smacked his lips unconsciously, he said, "I haven't eaten in the countryside for many years, and I want to think that when I was in the queue, the rice balls in the countryside were so delicious and delicious!"

Mu Chen laughed when he heard this: "A distinguished guest like Old Man Du, I don't dare to entertain you with rice balls, but then again, I also ate rice balls when I was young, and I also miss it a little when you say this." ”

"Did you eat rice balls when you were young?" Du Zhi glanced at Mu Chen, "How old are you kids, how could you ever eat that kind of thing?"

Mu Chen said truthfully: "Old man Du, you don't know, our village is a well-known poor village, although the state has not listed our village as a poor village, but only we know best what the village is like, not only poverty, it is simply extremely poor!"

"Is there such an exaggeration?" Du Zhi didn't believe it, although he did see many slightly backward places along the way, it was not as serious as Mu Chen said.

"Of course I'm not exaggerating," Mu Chen Zhengse said, "I can only say that the country's policy has been better in the past two years, and everyone's life has gradually improved, but if you look at it, our village is full of earthen houses, and there is no building, right, everyone is also farming in the village, and few people are working outside, it is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for the electricity in our village about ten years ago, many people would not have even seen electric lights and TVs!"

"Is there really such a thing?" Mu Le also came up curiously, "Brother Mu Chen, I have only seen these things in books, and I have never seen them in real life, but then again, I have been to the countryside twice with my teacher in the year I joined the work, and objectively speaking, their development there is indeed much better than yours." ”

With Mu Le's words, Mu Chen immediately turned his head to Du Zhi: "How about Old Man Du, I'm not exaggerating, so I am eager to make the village better, not to mention that everyone is rich and expensive, but at least everyone should have food and clothing, and then it would be better to be well-off or something." ”

"Good boy, you have great ambitions!" Du Zhi raised his hand and patted Mu Chen's shoulder, "It can be seen that you are doing these things for the villagers very hard, I believe everyone will be grateful to you!"

Mu Chen said modestly: "I don't want everyone to be grateful to me, I just want to improve the living environment in the village and improve everyone's living standards, and seeing a doctor is the first thing, no matter who the village is, if there is a sick or painful person, you have to run to the town, this back and forth is a few hours, and the patients are also tortured, if there is a health center in our village, it will be different!"

"That's the truth," Du Zhi said and sighed, "If there was such a health center in my village back then, my wife would not have left so easily." ”

Seeing that Du Zhi was sad, the two students hurriedly went to comfort the teacher, fortunately, they were about to go to Mu Chen's house at this time, otherwise Mu Chen didn't know how to take it.

As soon as the group walked into Mu Chen's house, they were immediately attracted by the sumptuous lunch on the table in the courtyard, and Du Zhi also adjusted his mood and greeted Zhao Ailian with a smile.

Lan Xiaodie is very sensible, and as soon as she enters the door, she accompanies Zhao Ailian to set up dishes and chopsticks, just like a daughter-in-law.

Mu Chen saw it in his eyes, not to mention how happy he was, although there was an agreement between him and Lan Xiaodie, it didn't prevent the relationship between them from heating up further.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten anything like this. Du Zhi sighed with emotion.

"I haven't eaten such a dish for a long time," Liu Qingqing said a little naughty, and Du Zhi's mood quickly improved, "Teacher, you have to take us to the countryside more, so that we can often eat authentic farm food." ”

"If you like to eat, you are welcome to come at any time," Zhao Ailian said to the two young people with a smile, "As long as you come, you won't eat the same for a week!"

"Mom......" Mu Chen said dissatisfied, "Why don't I have such treatment?

Zhao Ailian smiled: "I'm not partial, I haven't learned it slowly on TV recently, if you want to eat it, I can also get it for you." ”

Everyone had a good meal and gradually became familiar with each other.

And the two most attractive dishes on the dinner table are beef and cucumber, even a lady like Liu Qingqing can't help but sandwich chopsticks one after another.

"Brother Qing, your cucumbers are really delicious, can you pick some and take them away when we leave in a while?"

"You little girl, don't talk about eating at someone's house, how can you take it away," Du Zhi said to Liu Qingqing with a straight face, "Didn't you hear what your aunt said? You can come whenever you want to eat!"

"It doesn't affect it," Zhao Ailian waved her hand, "I'll pick it for you in a while! You can also bring some beef, this thing is our specialty here, and there is no other place!"

"Oh, beef is also a specialty?" This made Du Zhi a little curious, to say that the taste of cucumber is different, it still makes sense, but the tender taste of this beef really makes Du Zhi very interested, he has eaten meat for so many decades, he has never eaten beef that tastes comparable to the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and it is better than the game he ate when he went to the countryside.

Zhao Ailian didn't know how to explain, so she immediately gave Mu Chen a look and asked him to speak.

Mu Chen had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and he hurriedly explained: "Of course, our beef here is special, because the grass here is green and pollution-free, and the ecological environment here is also very good, so the meat quality of the cattle fed is naturally very tender!"

Du Zhi didn't understand what factors depended on the taste of this beef, and after listening to Mu Chen's explanation, he had to nod as if he didn't understand.

In fact, not to mention the three guests from the design institute, including Lan Xiaodie, was really shocked by the taste of cucumber and beef, but as the "hostess", if she also showed surprise, it would indeed be a bit of a loss, so she had to secretly admire the wonderful taste of these two dishes in her heart, while listening to Mu Chen talk to the guests.
