"Hey, uncle, why did you talk about your name again?" After thinking about it, Shanhe suddenly felt that something was not quite right, so he asked, "What does this have to do with the exam questions you just gave me?"

Seeing that the other party asked about the connection, Jiang Nong stroked his beard and said slowly like an old gentleman in a private school:

"The old man has said his name, but you still can't guess the connection, it's really rotten wood that can't be carved! Okay, then let the old man tell you about my long history in China and the great Emperor Yan, and you will understand the old man's intentions." ”

After hearing this, Shanhe suddenly felt a little worried. Especially when the phrase 'long history' came out, he immediately felt like crying without tears.

He was now participating in a race against time, so how could he have time to listen to any historical stories? What he wanted to do most at the moment was to leave this place and look for the fruit. But seeing Uncle Shi's extremely serious expression, he couldn't bear to interrupt, so he had to listen patiently.

"Legend has it that in ancient times, that is, about 5,000 years ago, the leader of the Jiang clan was the first to master the skill of using fire, so as to obtain the throne, so he was called the Yan Emperor ......"

In the next few minutes, I listened to Jiang Nong talk to Shanhe about Emperor Yan's contributions and initiatives.

After listening to these mountains and rivers, I realized that in addition to using fire, Emperor Yan also had many inventions and innovations in his life, such as cultivating agricultural products, weaving hemp into cloth, cutting wood for bows, identifying herbs, making pottery, and opening up markets...... These are all precedents created by Emperor Yan. There are some events that still have a deep impact on the people of China even today.

"Wow! Emperor Yan is so powerful? 5,000 years ago, he knew how to pick herbs and make pottery? What a god!" After admiring it, he listened to the mountains and rivers and said:

"But what does it have to do with your name? Do you use the word 'farming' because you are working on agricultural things?"

Hearing this, Jiang Nong shook his head and smiled:

The reason why the old man named Jiang Nong was because of Emperor Yan's achievements on the other hand, not farming or herbs. ”

"On the other hand, what is it?"

This time, Jiang Nong didn't sell Guan Zi again, and replied: "Tea!"

"Tea?" Shanhe confirmed, "Tea that drinks tea?"

"That's right! Soak water in leaves, and the person who invented the tea ceremony is also Emperor Yan. After nodding, I heard Jiang Nong tell a long-ago legend to Shanhe again:

"It is rumored that Emperor Shennong Yan was born with a crystal belly, and he can see the liver, intestines, organs and lungs in his body at a glance. At that time, the greatest enemy of mankind was hunger, and it was common for people to die from poisoning. Therefore, with a crystal belly, he decided to taste all the grains in the world, and defy the law to warn his tribesmen which grains are edible and which are poisonous and not to be contaminated. ”

"Ah, he, he's going to eat them all?" Shanhe said in surprise, "Isn't that sure you'll eat poisonous grains?"

"Yes, this is a very risky move, he is almost daily by the toxin, and he is often in a state of poisoning. Fortunately, when he tasted grains, he also found a lot of herbs that could detoxify and cure diseases, which helped him turn the corner when he was in danger. ”

"Oh, that's how he discovered herbs?" nodded sympathetically, and then Shanhe tilted his neck and asked, "Hey, what does this have to do with tea?"

"Tea was also discovered by Emperor Yan by chance when he was tasting grains. Jiang Nong stroked his beard and spoke:

"According to legend, one day, when Emperor Yan was boiling water to test medicine, a few leaves inadvertently floated into the pot. After the water boiled, he tried to take a sip, and he found that the water not only made him energetic, but also inspected the internal organs after entering the body. Therefore, he named this leaf 'Cha', and passed on this remedy to his clansmen, which has been passed down to this day. ”

"Oh, that's how the tea came from? And what about later?"

"Later...... Alas!" After a sigh, Jiang Nong said with a little sadness:

Although there was tea and herbs, due to his continuous experimentation with grains, in the end, Emperor Yan could not escape the poison of the world, and died of poisoning. After his death, the internal organs in his body have already been necrotic seven or eight, which can be said to be the liver and intestines, and his people mistakenly thought that it was the fault of the last herb he took, so they called the grass the broken intestine grass, and regarded it as the first poison in the world. But in fact, the real reason for Emperor Yan's death was that he had been eroded by ten thousand poisons all year round, and his internal organs had long been overwhelmed, and the grass that broke his intestines was just a fuse. ”

After listening to this slightly tragic ending, Shanhe sighed.

I have to say that Emperor Yan's spirit of sacrificing himself for righteousness makes Shanhe sincerely admire. But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt as if he had heard this story somewhere, and after pondering for a moment, he asked:

"Thank you for your teachings! However, when I heard you say this, I realized that Emperor Yan is the legendary Shennong?"

Hearing Shanhe ask about this, Jiang Nong smiled and said:

Some people say yes, others say no, this kind of legend is impossible to verify. But in the old man's view, it doesn't matter if they are one person or many people, what matters is the spirit they have inherited! ”

After saying this, Jiang Nong patted Shanhe on the shoulder first, and then stood up on his own and rushed to Shanhe River:

"Okay, the old man said something about it today, I know that your little baby has long been tired of listening to it. Hehe, I won't stop you anymore, you can go back and continue to compete now, and the old man will look for you after the race. ”

"Ah, uncle, are you leaving?" To be honest, I really want to go back to the game, but ......" Seeing that Jiang Nong said that he was leaving, Shanhe was a little surprised, and hurriedly stood up from the ground and asked with a little doubt:

"But you haven't told me until now, what exactly does the exam mean just now? Does this have anything to do with Emperor Yan and tea?"

This is explained...... It's more complicated. Little baby, I'll wait until after the game to tell you slowly. Now, go and meet up with your teammates to find fruit, and the old man won't waste your time. With that, Jiang Nong smiled at his farewell, turned around and ran into the night.

But just after running two steps, he suddenly remembered something again, and casually took out a red Broken Sky Fruit from the ring, threw it directly into Shanhe's hand, and said with a smile in his mouth:

"Hehe, the two fruits on this tree were actually picked by the old man, I lied to you just now. Now it's all for you, so it's a reward for you to pass the exam!Haha, okay! The old man is going!" And this time Jiang Nong didn't stay again, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
