In ancient times, I, Lao Liu, was an ordinary farmer, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. That day, I was sweating in the field, hoeing and digging the ground, and suddenly, I saw my daughter-in-law Xiaohong hurrying over from a distance.
"Dad, are you tired?" Xiaohong held a bowl of hot dumplings in his hand, fragrant.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and said with a smile, "Hey, this is really a blessing!"
I took the dumplings and devoured them. The dumplings have thin skin and filling, and the taste is delicious, and I hummed when I ate it. But after eating, I always felt that something was wrong.
"Xiaohong, what kind of filling is this dumpling, why is it so fragrant?" I couldn't help but ask curiously.
Xiaohong's eyes flashed, and she replied hesitantly: "Oh, that's it...... It's just some home-style stuffing. ”
I didn't think much of it and kept my head down at work. But it didn't take long for me to feel a cramp in my stomach, and I couldn't straighten my back.
"Little Red! my stomach hurts so badly!" I shouted.
Xiaohong ran over in a panic and hugged me, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
I was sweating profusely and gritted my teeth and said, "Quick...... Help me home!"
When I got home, I was rolling in bed in pain. Seeing this, the wife hurriedly went to invite Langzhong in the village. After some diagnosis and treatment, Lang Zhong said with a solemn face: "Lao Liu, you are highly poisoned!"
"What?, poisonous?" I asked, stunned, and at the same time a chill welled up in my heart, could it be...... Is that bowl of dumplings?
Lang Zhong nodded, "Yes, looking at this symptom, it should be something that should not be eaten." ”
I struggled to sit up and grabbed Lang Zhong's hand tightly, "Lang Zhong, help me!
Lang Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "Fortunately, you didn't eat much, and you can still be saved." I'm going to dispense medicine for you, and you have to take care of him and don't let him eat anything again. ”
After Lang Zhong left, I lay on the bed with a lot of thoughts. That bowl of dumplings...... Could it be that Xiaohong deliberately poisoned her? No, she is usually so filial, how can she harm me? But there is really something wrong with that dumpling!
At this time, Xiaohong brought a bowl of medicine, "Dad, drink the medicine." ”
I looked at her with mixed feelings in my heart, "Xiaohong, that dumpling...... What's going on?"
Xiaohong was stunned, her eyes flickering, "Dad, I don't know...... Maybe there's something wrong with the material. ”
I sighed, took the bowl and drank it down. The medicine is bitter, but my heart is even more bitter.
Over the next few days, I was on bed rest and my body was gradually recovering. And I always had a pimple in my heart, what the hell was going on with that bowl of dumplings? I decided to investigate the matter secretly.
After some inquiry, I finally learned the truth. It turned out that in order to cook a delicious meal for me that day, Xiaohong deliberately went to the mountains to pick some fresh wild vegetables to make stuffing. But who knew that the wild vegetable was similar to a highly poisonous plant, and Xiaohong mistakenly picked it back and wrapped it into dumplings.
When I learned the truth, I was very emotional, it turned out to be a misunderstanding, but this incident also sounded the alarm bell for me, so I have to be careful in the future.
However, it didn't end there. Soon after I recovered, there were several similar cases of food poisoning in the village. The villagers were panicked and speculated whether someone had deliberately poisoned them.
"Lao Liu, what do you think is going on?" the village chief found me and said with a sad face: "Now everyone is afraid to eat, for fear that it will be their turn next." ”
I pondered for a moment and said, "The village chief, I think there is something strange about this. If it is really man-made poisoning, then the poisoner will definitely have a motive. Let's start with the victims and see if they are related. ”
So we started investigating the victim's situation. It turned out that there was a striking common denominator - all the victims had gone up to the mountains to pick wild vegetables! And they all picked in the same place!
"Looks like the problem is with the wild vegetables!" I said categorically.
We immediately organized the villagers to visit the wild vegetable field. Sure enough, next to a seemingly ordinary wild vegetable, an extremely similar and highly poisonous plant was found - Broken Intestine Grass! This grass is highly poisonous, which can cause serious food poisoning and even death after being eaten by mistake!
"Oh my God! we didn't find these two plants so similar!" exclaimed the village chief.
I sighed, "This gut-breaking grass is very cunning, it will disguise itself as an ordinary wild vegetable and make people eat it by mistake. We have to tell everyone to be careful when picking wild vegetables in the future. ”
After saying this, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. Recalling the scene on the day she was poisoned, Xiaohong also picked wild vegetables in this wild vegetable field...... Could it be that she inadvertently picked the broken intestine grass by mistake?
I was afraid for a while, if I hadn't eaten less at that time and found out in time, I would have died in Huangquan! The more I thought about it, the more frightened I felt, and I decided that I must be more cautious in the future.
After this incident, the villagers also realized the importance of food safety, and said that they would pay more attention to the source and safety of ingredients in the future. At the same time, everyone also expressed their sincere gratitude to me for saving not only myself but also the whole village.
Since then, my status in the village has risen to the top and I have become a hero in everyone's eyes. And I cherish this honor and responsibility even more, and always remind myself to be responsible for everyone's safety.
However, just as I was basking in this joy, an unexpected visitor shattered my peaceful life. I was working in the fields that day when a stranger broke into my sight.
"You're Lao Liu, aren't you?" asked the stranger, looking me up and down.
I nodded and looked at him warily, "Who are you, what's the matter with me?"
"Hehe, don't be nervous. The stranger smiled, "I'm here to thank you." ”
"Thanks?" I frowned, "thank me for what?"
"Thank you for saving our village!" said the stranger, "Actually, I am also a village chief, but our village is far from here. Recently, there was a food poisoning incident in our village, but thanks to your timely discovery of the problem of broken intestine grass, we were able to survive. ”
It dawned on me that my discovery had saved not only our village, but also the people of other villages! I felt an indescribable sense of pride in my heart.
"You're so polite, that's what I'm supposed to do. I said modestly.
"No, you're doing a very good job!" the stranger patted me on the shoulder, "as a token of gratitude, our village has decided to give you a great gift. ”
With that, he handed me a heavy package. When I opened it, it was a pile of gold and silver jewelry!
"This ...... It's too precious for me to take it!" I hurriedly excused myself.
"Take it, you deserve it. "And we have one more request, we hope that you will continue to help us pay attention to food safety issues and remind us of risks in a timely manner." ”
Looking at his sincere eyes, I nodded, "Okay, I'll do my best." ”
In this way, I became a food safety consultant for several nearby villages. I use my knowledge and experience to help you distinguish the authenticity and safety of ingredients, so that everyone can eat food with peace of mind. It's a big responsibility, but I feel like it's rewarding to be able to do something for everyone. And I've made a lot of friends because of it, and my life has become more fulfilling and interesting.
However, life is always full of unknowns and uncertainties. One day, I suddenly received bad news - Xiaohong is sick and very sick!
I hurried home to find Xiaohong lying on the bed, pale and dying. My heart was like a knife, and I held her hand tightly, "Xiaohong, what's wrong with you, why are you so sick all of a sudden?"
Xiaohong smiled slightly and said weakly: "Dad, don't worry, I'm just tired and want to take a break." ”
"No, you must hold on! I will find the best Lang Zhong to treat you!" I said firmly.
However, Xiaohong shook her head: "No need, Dad, I know that my condition is beyond cure." In fact, I have always had a wish that I hope you can help me fulfill. ”
"Say it, whatever you wish, I'll make it come true for you!" I said with tears streaming down my face.
Xiaohong took a deep breath and slowly expressed her wish: "I hope you can continue to help those in need, so that more people can eat safe food and live a happy life." ”
I held her hand tightly and wept silently: "Don't worry, Xiaohong! I will keep in mind your entrustment and continue to be responsible for everyone's safety!"
Xiaohong listened to my words, closed her eyes peacefully, and a satisfied smile hung on the corner of her mouth. At that moment, I knew she had no regrets. And I will also pass on her wish to bring safety and happiness to more people.
Shortly after Xiaohong's death, I was immersed in deep grief, and life seemed to have lost its color. However, I knew that I could not stop there, because I also had an important mission on my shoulders - to fulfill Xiaohong's last wish and continue to protect the food safety of the villagers.
In order to get out of my grief and better fulfill my mission, I decided to devote all my energy to the research and promotion of food safety. I started running around, collecting all kinds of ingredients, carefully discerning their authenticity and safety. At the same time, I also actively promote food safety knowledge to the villagers and teach them how to choose and eat ingredients correctly.
In the process, I made many like-minded friends. We discuss food safety issues together and share experiences and insights. I have found that although food safety issues are constantly emerging, as long as we work together, we will be able to protect everyone's table.
However, just as I was dedicating myself to food safety, an unexpected challenge lay ahead of me.
On that day, I was at the village market to educate the villagers about food safety. Suddenly, a strange vendor walked over, holding a bag of seemingly ordinary red dates in his hand, and said defiantly: "Lao Liu, don't you claim to be a food safety expert? ”
I took the jujubes and looked at them carefully, and found that these jujubes were bright in color, but the texture was a little abnormal. I pinched them hard and found them unusually hard and had a pungent smell. I immediately realized that these dates may have been specially treated and may be harmful to human health.
"There's something wrong with these dates!" I declared loudly, "they may have been fumigated with sulfur or other chemical treatments, and long-term consumption may have serious health effects." ”
When the vendor heard my words, he snorted disdainfully: "Why do you say that there is a problem with these red dates? I bought them from regular channels, so don't spew blood." ”
In the face of the doubts and provocations of the vendors, I did not back down. I am well aware of my responsibility not to let these harmful foods flow into the tables of the villagers. So, I said firmly: "I will send these red dates to a professional testing agency for testing, and if the test results prove that these red dates are indeed problematic, you must bear the corresponding responsibility!"
Seeing my resolute attitude, the vendor's tone softened: "Forget it, can't I sell these red dates if I don't sell them? ”
"This is not a serious problem, this is a big matter related to everyone's health!" I said solemnly, "Food safety is no small matter, we must strictly control it to ensure that every bite of food is safe." ”
The news spread quickly in the village, and everyone praised me for being conscientious and responsible. And I have strengthened my belief: no matter what difficulties and challenges I encounter, I will stick to the front line of food safety and escort everyone's health.
However, I know this is just the beginning. Food safety issues are constantly emerging, and I need to constantly learn new knowledge and skills to meet various challenges. At the same time, I also hope that more people can join the cause of food safety and jointly protect the safety of our table.
In the days that followed, I continued to work on food safety research and advocacy. Together with other people with lofty ideals in the village, I have set up a team of food safety volunteers to regularly carry out food safety knowledge lectures and practical activities in the village. We have also established a food safety information exchange platform to facilitate the sharing of food safety information and experience in a timely manner.
At the same time, I also began to pay attention to the source of food production. I know that the safety and quality of food can only be ensured by starting at the source. Therefore, I began to take the initiative to contact local farmers and food production enterprises to understand their production conditions and food safety measures, and actively promote food safety knowledge and relevant laws and regulations to them, so as to improve their food safety awareness and self-management ability.
Thanks to my tireless efforts, the food safety situation in the village has improved significantly, and everyone is paying more attention to the choice of ingredients and cooking methods, as well as the balanced nutrition and healthy diet on the table, which I am very pleased and proud of.
However, the cause of food safety is always on the road, only we always maintain a vigilant and rigorous attitude to ensure that every bite of food is safe, every diet is healthy, I will continue to stick to the front line of food safety to protect everyone's health.
Over time, my fame spread throughout the surrounding villages as well. More and more people came to me for food safety advice, and some even invited me to give food safety lectures in other villages. I realized that this was a great opportunity to spread food safety knowledge to more people.
So I started running around, going to various villages to give lectures and activities. In each lecture, I try to explain the importance of food safety and how to distinguish the authenticity and safety of ingredients in easy-to-understand language. I also brought some samples of common harmful foods so that everyone can experience the dangers of these foods firsthand.
Through these lectures and activities, I not only let more people know about food safety, but also made many new friends. They have expressed their desire to join my food safety career and contribute to everyone's health.
However, just when I thought everything was going in a good direction, a sudden news broke my peaceful life.
I was sorting out lecture materials at home that day when I suddenly heard a quick knock at the door. When I opened the door, it turned out to be Xiao Zhang, the messenger from the village.
"Lao Liu! Oh no!" Xiao Zhang said breathlessly, "There has been a food poisoning incident in the neighboring village, and several people have been sent to the hospital!"
My heart tightened, and I hurriedly asked, "Do you know what caused it?"
Xiao Zhang shook his head: "It's not clear, but it is said that they all ate a newly introduced wild vegetable." ”
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, I immediately packed my bags and prepared to rush to the neighboring village. On the way, I kept thinking about the cause of this food poisoning incident and the solution. When I arrived at the neighboring village, it was already late at night, but the village was brightly lit and full of people chattering and crying.
I didn't have to take a break, and immediately went to the person in charge of the village to find out the situation. It turned out that this newly introduced wild vegetable was very popular in the local area, but due to the lack of relevant food safety knowledge, the villagers ate it directly without adequate treatment and cooking, which led to food poisoning incidents.
Immediately after learning about the situation, I organized a rescue team of local villagers to visit the patients in the hospital and learn about their conditions. At the same time, I also contacted professional medical institutions to ask them to send a medical team to support them as soon as possible, and also promoted food safety knowledge to the villagers and emphasized the importance of cooking and handling ingredients.
In the days that followed, I coordinated between the hospital and the village to ensure that patients received timely and effective treatment, as well as helping the villagers deal with the aftermath and carrying out a series of food safety awareness campaigns.
After this incident, the villagers have a deeper understanding of the importance of food safety, and have expressed that they want to join my food safety cause to jointly protect the safety of everyone's table, and I have also strengthened my belief and determination to continue to work hard to contribute to the cause of food safety.
