Lin Zexu can't see the people of China being harmed by opium again. He was appointed Minister of Smoking Prohibition and sold cigarettes in Guangzhou. As soon as he arrived in Guangzhou, he was invited to a banquet by foreigners. At that time, it was true that China people were seriously poisoned by opium, so money flowed into the pockets of foreigners. Lin Zexu felt it necessary to stop it, so he asked to sell cigarettes and went to Guangzhou. Who knows, just arrived in Guangzhou, he received an invitation from a foreigner and invited him to a banquet.
The foreigner enthusiastically served a steaming dish, in fact, he was preparing to make a fool of Lin Zexu. At that time, Lin Zexu knew that this must be the Hongmen banquet, and foreigners were definitely up to no good, but they went on time. At the banquet, foreigners were very enthusiastic. They served a dish and asked Lin Zexu to taste it. Lin Zexu saw that the food was steaming hot and thought it was hot, so he ate it carefully. Who knows, when I reached my mouth, I found that it was not hot food, but very cold. In fact, he ate ice cream. Foreigners have been laughing at him since they saw it.
Lin Zexu invited foreigners back, and specially put on the dish Tai Chi taro. A few days later, Lin Zexu also invited foreigners to visit. At the banquet, he specially put on Tai Chi taro, a famous dish in Fujian. Here is taro, but there is indeed a layer of lard on it, which is also used to improve the taste. Lard also covers the heat of taro. At that time, foreigners saw that this dish was not steamed and thought it was a cold dish. Who knows, when eating, I burned my mouth and shouted, making a fool of myself.
Lin Zexu is really a hero that we should admire. Through this incident, we can really see that he is very smart and intelligent.
