Stir-fried bacon with quinoa is one of the famous Olympic menus, and it should be noted that this artemisia is originally a water weed by Poyang Lake, and many different production methods have been developed because the water people found that they could eat it during their labor.
There are many historical stories about fried bacon with quinoa, the earliest can be traced back to the Wei and Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties, saying that a water ruler was ordered by the monarch to go to the flooded area at that time, but did not want to encounter a storm in the middle of the way, the entire convoy was trapped in the swamp, because of such bad weather, the convoy had to stop and rest nearby, but such bad weather lasted for three days, and the grain prepared in these three days was quickly eaten. Everyone was hungry, even the horses did not have the strength to hurry, and the water family was too hungry to do it, and when they thought that this time they were going to live up to the expectations of serving the monarch, a young waiter in the convoy was so hungry that he grabbed the water weeds on the side and ate it, but he did not want to taste particularly refreshing.

An Lushan knew that Tang Xuanzong was a metaphor for two people, one was a water family who gave the meaning of water and grass, and the other was a once nameless water weed, knowing that Tang Xuanzong began to be jealous of his own An Lushan and soon left the capital.
