Racecourse, as its name implies, is a pasture for raising horses. Why do you produce pears? There is a story. According to legend, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen had an official named Wang Chengen, who was from Xingtai. He raised more than 1000 war horses for Emperor Chongzhen by the Dasha River. On the pasture where wormwood grows, there are several pear trees of unknown year, and the fruits are very sweet. Wang Chengen presented pears to Emperor Chongzhen. The emperor tasted pears and was surprised. He said, "Strange fruits are famous all over the world, but there are no pears at the racecourse!" " "Since then, the racecourse has become a pear garden, and the pears in the racecourse have become a royal tribute. Whether this legend is true or not, we will not study it for the time being, but after long-term cultivation by working people, the pears in Machang are really famous for their sweet fruit and peculiar flavor. Pears in other places are cut or bitten open with a knife. After a few minutes, the stubble turns brown and the sweetness decreases. However, the snow-white stubble of Machang pear, exposed to the sun, is still fresh and white, and its taste remains undiminished. The most amazing thing is that this pear is thin in quality and skin. When the thin pear handle is split, the whole pear can be broken in half at once and then broken into four and a half.

People often put it in the cupboard, so that the fragrance in the room often floats out. Sour pears are suitable for long-term preservation. After a winter and spring storage, the taste will change from sour to sweet. Autumn pear is the top grade in Machang pear, which has the advantages of various varieties. It is golden yellow, thin and transparent, and smells delicious. Take a bite and chew it a few times, and it will all become cool and delicious sugar juice, without any dregs. This kind of pear also has good medicinal value, which can relieve cough and asthma, avoid plague and dispel cold. People who are weak and sick often use it as a tonic.
