Introduction of Sydney Melon 200 words
There is an allusion between Sydney melon and Daqitou ancient village in Leping, a famous Chinese historical and cultural village. Daqitou Ancient Village is the former residence of Shangshu of Guangxu Military Department in Qing Dynasty, Zheng Shaozhong, the prefect of Guangdong Navy, Sizi and their families. It is said that after the demise of the Qing Dynasty, Dakoujin (Zheng Shaozhong's real name was Zheng Jin) made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, won the respect and reuse of Cixi, and sealed General Wei Zhen. 1889, because of her mother's death, she returned to her hometown to observe filial piety, and Cixi decreed that funds should be allocated to build a mansion, which is now the ancient village of Daqitou. On the day of the celebration of the compound, officials and squires from all directions came to congratulate and gave a big banquet. After three rounds of wine, Dakoujin was slightly drunk. At this time, the clan members presented a melon to Dakoujin to relieve the hangover. Smell the whole house, the food is cool, sweet as honey, and the wine disappears. Ask the people in the same school what this is and where it came from. People in the same family replied that it is called Hami melon, melon honey course, and there is no unified title. It is a local specialty. After a little thinking, Dakoujin said, this thing is sweet and refreshing, and looks like Sydney in the north. Let's call it Sydney melon! Invited guests from all over the world to taste them one by one, and everyone was full of praise. Since then, the name of Sydney melon has spread like wildfire in the local area. Later, it was rumored that Dakoujin ordered two loads of Sydney melons to be sent to Beijing day and night for Empress Dowager Cixi to taste. Because of the long journey, it is still a great pity for Dakoujin that he failed to take this opportunity to express his loyalty.
