Chapter 237 Eggplant Meat Roll



After getting off the sightseeing bus, Village Chief Ma returned to his Lame Ma Village.

Village chief Ma didn’t know why the ancestors gave the village such a name. It seemed that the village was poor because of the name.

But I heard that there is a reason why the village was called this way. The road leading to the outside world is very steep and a pony would easily become lame if it wasn't careful, so it was called this way.

During the commune period, soldiers used explosives to blast through the mountains and built a proper road between the village and the outside world.

Village Chief Ma looked at the road in his village and frowned. Among the villages, the road in his village was the worst. Passing a Shifeng tricycle would test the driver's skill level. He almost fell into the ravine by accident.

But the farmland in their village is very good. It is a valley area with extremely fertile soil. The crops will grow vigorously even without the application of chemical fertilizers. This is the advantage of the village.

Combining the two, I don’t know whether my village can be included in the first batch of farmers’ alliance production bases, and how many can be produced.

Walking back home, I saw the smoke rising from the chimney. Village Chief Ma asked as soon as he entered the house:

"Wife, is the meal ready?"

"The rice is steamed and I'm just about to cook. Didn't you eat it? Didn't you get a meal voucher when you went to that meeting?"

"Of course I have eaten! Not only have I eaten, but I also brought back a portion for you, so you don't have to cook today."

The wife of the village head Ma looked at the lunch box that her husband took out with great pride, and asked curiously with wide eyes: "Such a beautiful box, is it a lunch box?"

"Yes, it's a lunch box!" Village Chief Ma raised his chin. "This is a gift given to each of us by Chairman Xu when we established the Sanma Town Farmers' Alliance! This is a vacuum-lined insulated lunch box. You know, a thermos cup! It's based on the same principle!"

"Oh! That must be a lot of money!"

"Of course it's a lot of money! But it's nothing to Tianya Village. You didn't see...they, they, they..."

When Village Chief Ma thought of this, he felt envious.

We are all from the same village, so why did you get out of poverty and become rich without saying a word?

"Oh, right! The lunch box is not empty. Open it and take a look!"

“Ah, this!”

After opening the lunch box, the wife of the village chief Ma's eyes lit up. She curiously picked up a piece of black bean pork ribs and put it in her mouth. It was smooth and the aroma of black beans was long-lasting. The fresh and salty taste stimulated her appetite uncontrollably, making her want to eat another piece and more.

Village chief Ma's wife resisted the urge, put the lunch box on the table, and shouted, "Big girl, Er Ni, San Zi, come out and eat!"

Three children, two sisters and one brother, ran in from the inner room. After they called dad obediently, they couldn't help but look at the dining table.

"This is the delicious food that Daddy brought back for you. Come eat it quickly! Mommy will serve you some rice!"

The three children immediately started grabbing the fried pork chops. Village chief Ma hurried over. In order to prevent the three children from fighting over the pork chops, he had to serve the food to the children himself.

“Dad, this is delicious!”

"Dad, you try it too!"

"No need, Dad has already eaten!"

Village chief Ma smiled and touched his eldest daughter's head. Looking at the children eating food happily, an unconscious sense of happiness lingered in his heart.

"Dad, what is this?" the child asked curiously, looking at one of the dishes.

"This seems to be made of eggplant?" Village Chief Ma looked at the eggplant meat roll on the plate and said.

“Eggplant…”

The children all gave up on this dish at the same time because they hated eggplant the most.

Because my mother grew a lot of eggplants, this dish often became their main dish. But as we all know, eggplant dishes require a lot of oil, and my mother Ma is a relatively frugal person, so the taste is not very good.

Not to mention, for children, the sticky, purple eggplant seems like a dark dish and does not arouse their appetite at all.

At this time, the wife of the village chief Ma brought out food for the children. On the second trip, she also brought out a bowl of pickled mustard greens. Seeing this, the village chief Ma said, "Wife, you should eat something too!"

"I just tasted it!"

The wife of the village chief Ma smiled, picked up a piece of pickled vegetables with chopsticks, and said, "This pickled vegetable tastes very good, I like it very much!"

The pickles made from Chinese mustard greens do have a very good flavor, but Village Chief Ma also understands that the food in this lunch box is obviously not enough for three children.

"Why don't the children eat this dish?" The village chief's wife suddenly discovered the ignored eggplant meat rolls.

“Kids don’t like eggplant!”

"Then I'll eat it."

The wife of village chief Ma put a piece of meat roll in her mouth, but she was stunned the next second. The eggplant was full of meat juice, and it was quickly shaped in the high temperature frying. When you bite it, it is simply bursting in your mouth... Combined with the smooth and crispy pork filling, it feels like a bomb exploded in your mouth and a raging fire engulfed your body.

"Children! Try it! There is meat filling in this eggplant!"

When they heard that there was meat filling, the children reluctantly stretched out their chopsticks, and then...

"ah!"

“Mom, it’s delicious!”

“Mom, is this an eggplant?”

Is this really an eggplant?

Isn’t eggplant one of those squishy, tasteless, weird foods?

How could it be more delicious than meat!

Village chief Ma's wife looked at the children fighting over the meat rolls and a gentle smile appeared on her face. To her, all the delicious food in the world was not as sweet as the scene before her.

Village chief Ma looked at his wife and children, a look of loss appeared on his face, and then he clenched his fists.

No matter what, Quema Village must enter the first batch of farmers’ alliance production bases!

On the other side, Principal Xu was announcing something to the students in the problem class.

"Everyone listen to me! I have something to announce."

"At present, due to the development needs of surrounding agriculture, you may have to work as agricultural technicians part-time for one month. I wonder if you are willing to accept this?"

The classmates looked at each other, and no one seemed to have any other ideas.

That must be...acceptance!

Although, no one knows who started the trend, the villagers who received agricultural guidance would find a reason to praise them from top to bottom every few words, making them feel ashamed.

But in reality…

When I look in the mirror at night, I can't help but smile like a bird that just learned to fly.

Also, when I was sleeping, I would always hear the sounds of 'hehe, hehehe, hehehehe' from some people's beds. If you didn't know, you would think you had met the goddess Xiaoxiang in your dream.

Everyone seemed to have become much happier than before. There seemed to be light in their eyes, flickering, as if they were a group of people picking stars and putting them in their eyes.

The program crew couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and the frontline reporter couldn't help but ask Principal Xu:

"You really didn't mention a word about the exam next Monday!"
