What kind of melon does Wang Po sell?
Wang Po sells melons and cantaloupes.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a man named Wang Po. Because he talks too much and behaves like a mother-in-law, people nicknamed him "Wang Po".
Originally from Xixia, Wang Po came to Bianjing, which is today's Kaifeng Prefecture, because of the war. After arriving in the Central Plains, Wang Po couldn't find any decent job, so he went back to his old job and planted cantaloupes in Han.
After several years of planting, Wang Po gradually understood the climate pattern of the Central Plains and explored a set of techniques for planting melons here, so the melons planted were very sweet. However, because of its ugly appearance, no one in China has ever seen this kind of melon. Even if it is sweet and delicious, it still can't sell a few a day.
Seeing that his life was dying, Wang Po was impatient and simply cut a few pieces and put them on the side of the road. Everyone praised this melon for its sweetness, so people can try it for free. "This melon is so sweet! This melon smells delicious! Great leaf flavor, aunt you try ... "
It was also Wang Po's popularity that made him famous. He was talking about the fragrance and sweetness of melon to pedestrians when he happened to meet Song Shenzong while visiting outside the palace. When Zongshen heard someone calling from the roadside, he told the bearers to stop. "Who sells melons there? And brag! ? "
When Wang Po saw the emperor coming, he quickly took a cantaloupe and presented it to Zongshen. Song Shenzong tasted a few mouthfuls and felt sweet and fragrant. At present, I praise him repeatedly and ask him, "Why do you keep shouting?" Wang Po said, "This melon is a product of Xixia. Zhongyuan doesn't know. No one will buy it if you don't call it. "
When the emperor heard this, he said with emotion, "When doing business, you have to praise yourself, just like an old woman selling melons praises herself. What's wrong? " As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, this sentence spread all over the north and south of the Yellow River until today.
