Her affectionate prose about food and potatoes on the tip of her tongue.

Years have left a mark on my face, the sea has become a mulberry field, and that simple and bitter childhood life has become a memory. What remains unchanged is the staple food position that potatoes have always played in my life. Because of full food and good living conditions, this position has never been forgotten in a corner of my heart. On the contrary, with the change of the concept of food culture, potatoes have played different roles and become indispensable dishes on the table. Their value has gradually evolved from the traditional concept of filling the stomach. They have made silent and selfless contributions to human food supply and constantly created their own unique food culture.

First, dress up the earth and interpret history.

In midsummer, the sky is blue and the sun is shining. The flowers that strive for spring gradually wither with the warm spring, but the potato flowers in the crops in northeast Yunnan of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau bloom in time. At noon, the sun is shining, simple flowers are blooming on the green stems and leaves of rows of potatoes, and white, yellow and purple flowers are blooming in the fields on dams and hills. In the hot summer, the potato field is no longer a single yellow land from afar, but a flower sea as beautiful as a fairy tale. These flower seas dress up the plateau land in a unified way, adding a beautiful scenery to the green mountains and green spaces. Walking into this landscape, I breathed the rich fragrance of potatoes, looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, looked at the blue sky and imagined the scene of fruit harvest. At this moment, my mood is quiet and comfortable, and my mind is constantly showing a festive picture of autumn season and harvest.

In the long history of mankind, potatoes contain and interpret profound historical farming culture. Potato, scientific name Solanum, Panicum, also known as potato, potato and so on. , is not only the main crop and food in some alpine areas, but also has many medicinal values in medicinal efficacy. According to historical records, potatoes originated in Peru and Chile in the Andes of South America. /kloc-In the middle of the 6th century, potatoes were brought to Europe, where people appreciated their beautiful flowers and regarded them as decorations. 1650, potato became the main crop in Ireland and began to spread in Europe. However, because potatoes grow underground, they are regarded as ominous by nobles. From 65438 to 0975, there was a large-scale famine in France. As a life-saving food during the Great Famine in Paris, potatoes eased the famine crisis to some extent. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, potatoes spread to China. Because they are suitable for growing in alpine areas, they are widely planted in southwest, northwest, Inner Mongolia and northeast China. Potato has gradually become one of the five staple foods in China and the third largest food crop in the world after wheat and corn. With high nutritional value, strong adaptability and large yield, potato has gradually become the main food for the poor and played an important role in promoting economic and social development and maintaining population growth.

Second, the power of potatoes helps me grow.

Since I was a child, potatoes and I have forged a complex that is inextricably linked and difficult to give up. In the childhood of material shortage, for an ordinary rural family, lack of clothes and oil is the normal state of life. In poor hometown and mountainous land, potato is the highest yield food crop, which bears the simple mission and important responsibility of filling the stomach. The bitterness and sweetness of potatoes are always hidden in the deepest corner of my heart. There are many sisters in my family, and many of them live in barren land. In addition to the traditional cultivation method of slash and burn, the output of rural agricultural food crops is very small, and most of my childhood was spent in the struggle against hunger.

Potatoes sustain life and embody inspiring power. In the memory of my childhood, potatoes left a deep impression in my heart. It was a simple and painful childhood. As one of the few staple foods, potatoes selflessly moistened my childhood and inspired me to walk out of the mountains, successfully complete my studies and go to work. As far as I can remember, the primary school in the village is far from home. Every cold winter, thick snow and ice cover the rugged country road between home and school. Going out early and returning late during school became two points and one line. Small but delicious potatoes have become the only food I can fill my stomach after school at noon. Day after day, year after year, potatoes accompanied me through six cold winters, which I will never forget until I graduated from primary school. Since then, potatoes, as "life-saving food" in life, have formed a deep friendship complex with me. This unforgettable complex accompanied me through my childhood and youth until middle age. ...

Rural people in rural areas are simple and honest. Their father works at sunrise and rests at sunset. Many times, the sun never stops. All the year round, they work hard with their backs on the loess, but they can only barely maintain food and clothing for the whole family. My hometown is cold and humid. In the case of frequent natural disasters, crops such as corn and wheat are usually not harvested, and potatoes have strong vitality. Even if they are attacked by severe natural disasters such as hail and snowstorm, they will still gain something. In addition, the potato planting cost in my hometown is low, the investment is low, and the yield is high, which invisibly bears the simple mission and important responsibility of nourishing life and continuing future generations.

Third, potato culture catering food.

The appearance of potatoes is not outstanding, but they are simple and honest. Historically, potatoes have long been discriminated against by human beings because of their underground growth and ugly appearance. Some western aristocrats even regard potatoes as ominous things and only regard them as food for the poor and animals living in the lower classes. In fact, this is a serious cognitive prejudice. There is a poem that describes potatoes like this: "Wang Baojie's roots are full of soil and essence, and food and vegetables are good;" Simple and forbearing loneliness, gentle and humble and extravagant; The stems are fragrant and gratifying, and the branches are luxuriant without flowers; Although it is a thing, the people do not go. " There are many kinds of potatoes, which are white, reddish or purple in appearance. The skin is white, yellow, pink, red, purple and black, and the flesh is white, yellow, yellow, black, cyan, purple and dark purple. Potatoes are rich in dietary fiber and have high nutritional value, which can be used as a staple food to satisfy hunger. It can also be used as a diet, enriching recipes in food culture and even being rich in medicinal properties. Can be used for treating stomachache, rib tuberculosis, carbuncle, eczema, scald and other symptoms. It is a traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating the stomach, and it is also a drug for detoxifying and reducing swelling. Chinese medicine believes that potatoes are "sweet in nature and non-toxic, and can strengthen the spleen and stomach, invigorate qi, harmonize middle energizer, promote qi circulation and relieve pain, and promote defecation. It has a significant effect on patients with spleen and stomach weakness, indigestion, gastrointestinal disharmony, epigastric pain and poor stool. " Potatoes can also resist aging and prevent diseases, constipation and cancer.

Time has washed and baptized human memory. In the era of hunger, potatoes saved and nurtured many lives, made positive contributions to the progress of human civilization, and wrote and passed on the agricultural farming culture belonging to their own fields. In today's extremely rich food resources, with the improvement of living standards and the progress of human food culture, potato food occupies an increasingly important position on the table. Potatoes are not only food to fill the stomach, but also the food culture of potatoes is constantly innovating and continuing the ancient times. Potato food on the tip of the tongue has entered various high-end restaurants, whether it is western food or Chinese food, whether it is street snacks or high-end food city, it has left the imprint of potato food. Potato food is fragrant and delicious, and it will always make people linger. The cultural value of potatoes has been constantly changing and improving, and the once humble potatoes have doubled in value and become the "golden eggs" on the road of human wealth.

Fourth, the potato industry leads the development.

"Children who eat potatoes", the profound history and culture contained in potatoes, not only shaped the heroic and unrestrained self-confidence of northerners, but also cultivated the gentle and simple character of southerners. One side of the soil and water raises one side, and Zhaotong people have a preference for potatoes. Charcoal-baked potatoes can be seen everywhere in the streets. When you step into Zhaotong City, you can always smell the smell of potatoes floating all over the city.

Zhaotong is located in Wumeng Mountain in Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It absorbs the aura and essence from the source of Jinsha River, and creates the unique geographical advantages, unique geographical environment, extremely cold climate and barren soil resources of the plateau. These superior characteristics are cross-complementary and three-dimensional synthesis, which makes this plateau land very suitable for planting potatoes. The potatoes produced are sweet, tender and crisp, which is memorable.

With the further improvement of people's understanding of the value of potato and the gradual change of the concept of potato catering culture, the economic value of potato has gradually increased, and the value of potato industry has doubled. The people of Zhaotong have realized the great value of potatoes, and they are interdependent and have forged a profound friendship. In order to further promote the scientific and technological progress of potato industry, establish the potato Zhaotong brand, improve the influence and market competitiveness of Zhaotong potato industry, and promote the healthy development of potato industry, Zhaotong will intensify the development of potato industry, build a potato Wumeng industrial base, achieve a breakthrough in further improving the comprehensive output value of potatoes, and then promote the continuous economic and social development of Zhaotong, and write a wonderful story of Zhaotong potato in China's dream.
