Lamb soup, lamb chops, lamb offal.

Braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, plain white rice...

There are also various mountain delicacies...

In the middle was Professor Zhao's braised river fish with its head facing up.

Is this a working lunch?

It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is a state banquet!

In the afternoon, the lazy sun shines into the house through the windows covered with plastic sheeting.

It makes people feel warm.

The people sitting in the seats had sweat on their heads.

There is nothing wrong with being greedy.

Coming from a county town and having grown up in a privileged family, they had never had such a sumptuous "work meal" before.

Some even swallowed so much saliva that their stomachs almost ran out.

After everything was ready, Liu Xisheng finally walked into the house carrying a plate of pickled vegetables.

"Professor Zhao, fellow elementary school students, there is nothing good in our village. We just have simple meals. Please eat as much as you can."

Is this just plain food?

It seems like you have some misunderstanding about these four words!

Professor Zhao wanted to say something, but seeing the look on his student's face, he couldn't open his mouth.

He could only sigh and express his gratitude to Liu Xisheng and Lu Xinghe who came in with some candied haws.

Gently picked up a piece of fish in the middle.

After seeing this scene, everyone dared to pick up their chopsticks.

In Northeast China, whenever there is a whole fish on the table, it has a different meaning.

Regardless of whether fish costs more than other dishes, fish represents respect and importance that no other dish can represent.

Moreover, when there is fish, the most important person is the one who eats the fish head. No matter what other dishes are eaten, as long as no one else picks up the fish, no one else can pick up their chopsticks.

Obviously, Professor Zhao also understood the significance of what Liu Xisheng and Lu Xinghe did.

"Oh my god, this is so delicious, Brother Lu, your food is so good."

"Well, we can eat all the fresh vegetables. They taste great. We haven't had anything so good for us in a long time."

The male students kept eating and putting the meat in their mouths.

The female students' eyes were twinkling with stars as they focused on eating those vegetables.

These innocent students were so eager to share at this moment that even the thought of eating could not stop them.

Seeing that Professor Zhao had already started drinking the mutton soup, Lu Xinghe realized that the time was ripe, so he began to talk in a roundabout way:

"Professor Zhao, you see, the conditions in our village are not very good, except that the mutton is from Inner Mongolia.

The rest are local. We have hunters in our village who can protect the fruit trees on the mountain from being harmed by wild animals.

We can also get some game to improve the diet. These are all game, and the sour one is wolf meat."

Professor Zhao understood what Lu Xinghe meant, and said that the safety on the mountain was guaranteed.

"Xiao Lu, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. I saw that you had a good impression of me yesterday.

The talk about planting trees, protecting the environment, and the saying that green waters and green mountains are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver really suits my taste.

Otherwise I wouldn’t be here.”

Lu Xinghe shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Professor Zhao, let me be frank. Our village is poor, really poor, but the villagers are strong in spirit.

I have always wanted to build a world with my own hands. And you have seen the land in our village, which is all small plots.

Every crop was not up to standard, and even fertilizer was not available, so we began to actively seek change.

I want to find a path for our village to progress on its own.”

"Poor? Just this food? I guess you are poor too." Professor Zhao rolled his eyes at the student who was still hungry.

People have already started to cry poor, but you are still eating. You really have no tact at all.

Without waiting for Lu Xinghe to explain, Liu Xisheng stood up and patted Lu Xinghe on the shoulder.

"Professor Zhao, our village was really poor before. The county can check it out. We can't fake it.

But today, Lu Xinghe and his wife, one of them is doing a side job with the villagers, making flowers, while he goes up the mountain to hunt.

We distributed meat to the villagers and used the advanced ideas we learned from newspapers to make our village the first village to implement the household contract responsibility system.

This will make our lives more comfortable, and you can see that this is sent by the whole village.”

There was nothing wrong with the last sentence, and all the women in the village came over to bring food.

They also visited many villages to conduct investigations, and Chaihe Brigade was the most united village they had ever seen.

Even a pregnant woman came to deliver food.

"Secretary Liu? I called you right, didn't I? Don't be so modest. The speed of a train depends on the locomotive. I think you are a very capable secretary.

Originally, it was Xiao Lu who asked us to come here to help him, so you can represent the village to entertain them together.

Just this kind of mentality is better than many people. "

Professor Zhao also admired Liu Xisheng for his running around.

The people in a village can be so united and kind, maybe we can really set up a research base here.

"Then Professor Zhao, let's just settle this matter today?"

Liu Xisheng is so arrogant, he learned this from Lu Xinghe.

To be successful you need to be thick-skinned.

"This... we still need to hold a meeting to study it. After all, this is not a simple matter. The first thing to do is to repair the road.

Not only should we build the road up the mountain, but we should also take a long-term view and build the road to the public and the county town together.

The water resources here are quite good, and the fertilizer is relatively simple. After all, it is on the mountain.

But we can’t rely solely on hunters to keep out wild animals, so we have to build fences, right?

This is still a small problem. Grafting technology requires carefulness. Women do it much better than men.

But grafting is easy, women and men earn the same centimeters, can you make it work?"

"able!"

Hearing this, Liu Xisheng hurriedly replied: "As for road construction, mountain roads are easy to build. Our village can do it. We still need to find a way to deal with the rest, but there is no rush.

Wild animals are easier to deal with. It all depends on how we deal with them.

As for communication? There is no need for communication in our village. My sideline job is making hair ornaments. Women have long earned more than men.

The women in our village have a very high status. Women hold up half the sky. This is true of our village!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the female students under Professor Zhao lit up.

Although the status of women in Northeast China has been high since ancient times, due to the types of work, when women began to gradually enter the workforce,

It was discovered that the difference in physical strength resulted in very few centimeters earned, which widened the gap in status.

Otherwise, the man would go out to work, and the woman would stay home to farm, take care of the home, and take care of the children.

There is no need for fewer men to do the work.

There is no such thing as men farming and women weaving in the Northeast. Men go up the mountain to cut wood, while women farm and take care of the family.

The status of men and women is always equal.

But this village is really interesting, women hold up half the sky.

I didn't take this as a slogan, but really put it into practice.

"Professor Zhao, that's it. Isn't our topic today about grafting?"

"Yes, Professor Zhao. At a meeting held in Dong City a while ago, the Forestry Bureau mainly emphasized the research and development of grafting technology."

"I think the place is nice, the mountains are beautiful, and there are delicious foods."

"Yes, yes, my father works for the Forestry Bureau. I'll go directly to him and ask him to build an experimental base so that he can give you more research funds!"
