We can eat and dress well in our lives, but there are still many countries that are in constant war, civilians cannot solve even the most basic problems of food and clothing, and as their countries decline more and more, they can't even find a job that can support themselves, and after starvation, they have to become the food of the beasts, and these are real in this world. He risked his life to steal a vine from abroad, but became the savior of hundreds of people, and is still remembered!
As the saying goes, "The people take food as the sky". Only food can prolong life, and only if life can continue, other things have the possibility of completion. Nowadays, with the rapid improvement of living standards, as well as the merits of "hybrid rice" invented by Yuan Longping, people today are no longer worried about being full, and even our Chinese cuisine varieties are thousands, the richness is incredible, eating is no longer people's desire, eating well is people's daily consideration.
Since ancient times, there have been many benevolent people in China, who have left valuable wealth to future generations with their diligence and wisdom, such as Chen Zhenlong, the father of sweet potatoes in the Ming Dynasty. Chen Zhenlong was studious since childhood, familiar with the scriptures, and before he was 20 years old, he won xiucai, because later the township test did not choose to abandon Confucianism and engage in business. Chen Zhenlong was quite talented in business, and he followed the caravan to Luzon to do business.
In order to make a living, he went to the Philippines with other businessmen to run a business. Passing by the fields, I saw that there was a special crop that I had never seen before. And the local people learned that this is a crop called zhu potato, later called sweet potato. He was surprised at first, how good it would be to bring this crop back to Daming. Instead, it realized that the Spanish government did not allow sweet potatoes to be disseminated. To be found is to be executed. He remembered that the people of Dawn got up early and went dark, just to fill their stomachs and feed their families. Once the rain is a little less, they begin to be afraid at home, afraid that the moon and the stars and moons of the past few months will be put into the water; remembering that there are countless people who died of famine in the next year, the refugees exhausted various methods, eating Guanyin soil to the end because they could not defecate and were killed alive, and even eating for a son, still unable to survive. He decided to do it. Risk your life, so that the people can live better.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally came up with a method, he rolled the sweet potato vine into the rope little by little, disguised as a normal appearance, and finally deceived the Spaniards, and successfully crossed the ocean to reach the territory of the Ming Dynasty. First of all, he returned to his hometown of Fujian, and experimented with the yield of sweet potatoes in his hometown, and the results were gratifying. In the end, the cultivation of sweet potatoes was also very successful, and the yield was the same as expected, solving the famine problem at that time and saving the lives of countless poor people at that time. Therefore, people are grateful to Chen Zhenlong, in order to establish the Merit Pavilion to commemorate his brave deeds and make contributions to people. At the same time, because sweet potatoes come from foreign countries, they are also called "sweet potatoes", which means exotic species.
