The source of watercress The introduction of watercress in China is quite legendary. Legend has it that there was a businessman named Huang Sheng in Guangdong who was doing business in Portugal. Due to unfamiliar people, language barriers, poor business operations, and exhaustion of business operations, he soon fell ill. The doctor diagnosed that he had lung disease. This disease was considered a terrible incurable disease at the time. Most people suffering from this disease do not live long and can spread it to others. Huang Sheng suffers from a foreign country, and returns to his hometown to treat the illness without any trouble, so he is in a predicament. Fearing that Huang Sheng could spread his lung disease to others, the local government ordered him to be driven to the desolate field for isolation. At that time, Huang Sheng was suffering from poverty and illness, and his hunger and desire to survive prompted him to pick a wild vegetable growing in shallow water to satisfy his hunger. After a while, a miracle appeared. His cough subsided, his vomiting stopped, his face gradually became ruddy, and his limbs became stronger. After eating for several years, the stubborn disease of lung disease was finally conquered by the "water vegetables". Huang Sheng recovered his health and returned to Lisbon to continue his business. His family was gradually strengthened, and he married a wife and had children.
In the 1930s, when Huang Sheng and his wife returned to visit relatives in their hometowns, they brought this kind of "water vegetable" seeds back to their hometowns in Zhongshan County, Guangdong, and distributed some of the seeds to relatives and friends in Macau, and later introduced them to Hong Kong. From then on, this kind of vegetable and medicinal water vegetables began to benefit the people of the country, and benefited the compatriots in Hong Kong and Macau. Since the people of Macau used to call the Portuguese "Westerners" at that time, they called this water vegetable "Western vegetable". Nowadays, people in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao have been using this name. As for its name, "Watercress", few people know it.
Hong Kong and Macao people pay attention to soup. For example, use watercress, lean pork or duck kidney to stew soup, stew watercress into black, and then drink it with the soup. There is a soup in the restaurant called "Watercress Fresh Chen Kidney Soup", which is used Fresh duck kidney, dried duck kidney and watercress are stewed together, and longan meat is added, it tastes great! It is customary to stew pig lungs, pork bones or pig blood with watercress; Guangzhou also uses pork lungs, cuttlefish and watercress to be stewed together, plus a few candied dates, and simmer for two to three hours until the stems and leaves are all soft. rotten.

During the winter and spring seasons of Hong Kong and Macau, the climate is cold and dry, and the defense function of the upper respiratory mucosa of the human body is relatively weakened, and it is vulnerable to bacteria and viruses. Symptoms such as dry throat, sore throat, hoarseness, thick sputum cough, and constipation appear. Watercress with cough relieving function should be on the market.
