The early morning mist has not yet cleared, and simple and long folk songs sounded along the Gungunqu River. On June 6th in the farmhouse, every household is busy picking flowers. This flower refers to the yellow flower. The yellow flowers are blooming, the songs are clear and long, what a harvest scene! "Queen of Yellow Flowers" Wu Zetian's Forget-You-Watch Grass In fact, most of the yellow flowers in Qu County are concentrated in Wangjiang Township and surrounding areas. From June to June, the yellow flowers enter their peak season, and the mountains and fields are covered with golden color. The blossoming flowers have absorbed enough water in the air, and the petals are plump and thick. When the breeze rises, they sway in the wind, as if the stems are about to be broken.
After picking, put the water in the pot, sprinkle a few grains of salt, and within a few minutes, the fragrant yellow flower soup will be ready. Put one into your mouth, it feels crisp and tender, and its taste is sweet, leaving you with endless aftertaste. Noodles with Huang Hua in the morning, Huang Hua soup at noon, Huang Hua salad in the evening, Huang Hua has long been integrated into the blood of the people of Qu County.
Quxian Huanghua has a long history, which can be traced back to the distant Tang Dynasty, or even earlier. Folks have said since ancient times that after eating yellow flowers, no matter what sorrow you have, they will disappear. Therefore, yellow flowers are also called forget-me-not grass. According to legend, Wu Zetian had a special liking for daylilies. Due to her homesickness, she even specified that she wanted the yellow flowers in her hometown of Sichuan, so the yellow flowers from Qu County were selected as tribute and transported to Chang'an. Wu Zetian ate a small bowl of yellow flower and white fungus soup every day, and she was still refreshed and energetic into her 60s, and eventually became an emperor. The yellow flowers in Qu County also became a temporary fashion, attracting the rich and powerful people in Chang'an to compete for food.
The legend has been around for a long time and cannot be verified, but the yellow flowers in Qu County have something special about them that makes them popular among everyone. Ordinary yellow flowers have only six stamens, but Quxian yellow flowers have seven stamens. Therefore, Quxian yellow flowers have always been known as the "Queen of Yellow Flowers" and are famous far and wide. At the same time, due to the special soil, water quality and climate of Qu County, the yellow flowers in Qu County are delicious in color, fragrant, tender and crispy, and rich in nutrients. They have become "the first yellow flower in the country" and have won the championship in national competitions many times. To make "China's No. 1 Yellow Flower" bigger and stronger. However, even such a top product in the world once went into decline. In that era of widespread movements, Quxian Huanghua was regarded as a bourgeois taste and a poisonous weed, and was ordered to be eradicated and planted. From then on, the vast fields of golden yellow flowers were no longer visible. They were replaced by collective farmland where the grass was deeper than the crops. Only in the Wangjiang Township area there were some sporadic yellow flowers that fended for themselves, which was really sad.
Time flies, and the pace of history comes to the 1990s. The spring breeze of reform and opening up has blown across the land of China, and the land of Baqu is filled with a new atmosphere. Yellow flowers, a treasure passed down from generation to generation, have re-entered people's eyes and entered major restaurants and restaurants. However, because the planting quantity was too small, the supply was always in short supply. In that period when the market economy was not yet prosperous, yellow flowers were actually more expensive than meat.
Why can’t it become bigger and stronger quickly? An agricultural science technician from Qu County told the story: "At that time, the technology for preserving and processing yellow flowers was backward. After picking the yellow flowers, they would begin to wilt in half a day in their natural state. Farmers were afraid that they would rot in their hands, so no one dared to plant them!"
“How can farmers truly increase their income?” At the end of the last century, this question was finally loudly raised by the central government. A group of people from the Quxian County Party Committee and County Government assessed the situation and focused their attention on the little yellow flower.
“Develop distinctive and advantageous industries and build the Huanghua brand in Quxian County!” A unified understanding has been formed in Quxian County. In Wangjiang Township and surrounding areas, more than 100,000 acres of high-quality yellow flower bases are gradually being implemented under unified planning; agricultural experts from Southwest University have come, and the research and development of yellow flower deep processing technology has been greatly strengthened. The fresh-keeping transportation and processing of yellow flowers have been realized. Various Various kinds of yellow flower food have been developed; the yellow flower industry association has also been established, forming a one-stop production, supply and marketing process. Farmers no longer have to worry about the backlog of yellow flowers rotting, and their enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high.
