Li You laughed and said, how could he not want everyone to come?

Finally, amidst mutual "goodbyes", the two commercial vehicles slowly left the parking lot.

Li You returned to the store and lay down on the rocking chair to rest.

After a while, Ye Shengge came down from upstairs with two green plums in his hand. He handed one of them to Li You and said, "Boss, do you want one?"

Li You reached out to take it and asked: "Is it delicious?"

He hasn’t eaten any of these green plums yet.

Ye Shengge nodded, "It's okay."

Li You put it in his mouth and took a bite. It was very crisp and tender, and the taste was sour and sweet. It was really okay.

If you are someone who can't eat sour food, you will definitely not like it. But Li You can eat sour food. He likes this kind of sour taste that is both sweet and sour.

Ye Shengge also likes it very much. She has another one in her hand and she is eating it too.

"By the way, boss," Ye Shengge said, "the 'plum' in the idiom 'looking at plums to quench thirst' refers to green plums, right?"

Li You nodded, "It should be green plum. Some people say it is bayberry, but I think it should be green plum. This can be inferred from the location of the story "Looking at Plum to Quench Thirst".

This story tells that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao led his troops to attack Zhang Xiu who was entrenched in Wancheng.

During the march, due to the hot weather, the soldiers were hot and thirsty and could not walk, which had a serious impact on the march.

Cao Cao was very anxious. In order to solve the thirsty problem of his soldiers, he sent people to look for water in various places. But in the end, they found nothing, not even a drop of water.

Cao Cao came up with a plan and pointed to the hillside in front of him and told the soldiers that he was very familiar with this place. If you climb over the hillside in front, you will find a large plum forest. Now is the season when plums are ripe. When you reach the plum forest, everyone can

Enjoy plums as much as you want.

After the soldiers heard about it, they suddenly felt less thirsty when they thought of the delicious plums, and their marching speed instantly became much faster.

In the end, although the army did not find Merlin, they successfully found the water source.

As recorded in "Shishuo Xinyu·Jiejue", "Wei Wu was on a campaign and lost his way. All the troops were thirsty, so he ordered: 'There is a big plum forest in front of you, Raozi, the sweetness can quench your thirst.' When the soldiers heard this, they said

They all come out of the water, and by taking this you can reach the source."

The story of looking at plums to quench thirst is almost universally known, but what kind of plums are the plums in the story? There has been constant controversy.

Some people say it is bayberry, while others say it is green plum.

Li You thinks it should be Qingmei.

Because Cao Cao defeated Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, which is today's NY City in Henan Province.

In Yu Province, bayberry is not suitable for planting, but green plum is OK. It is not suitable for planting now, and it was certainly not suitable for planting during the Three Kingdoms period.

It is not suitable for planting, and of course there will be no wild ones.

This means that there should be no bayberry in Wancheng during the Three Kingdoms period.

Therefore, the plum in "Looking at Plum to Quench Thirst" should be green plum.

Ye Shengge also thinks it should be Qingmei, but she just thinks so and has no basis.

But now, after listening to what Li You said just now, she found that Li You seemed to have some basis. Her eyes lit up and she said repeatedly: "Boss, how can we deduce the location of the story? Please tell me quickly."

Li You smiled and explained his analysis.

Ye Shengge suddenly realized that this was the case. Then he said happily: "Boss, I feel that there is nothing wrong with your analysis like this. It should be like this. It is indeed Qingmei. It seems that my feeling is right."

Li You said: "However, I can't actually be 100% sure. I can only say that it should be like this."

Ye Shengge said: "It shouldn't be wrong."
