At this time, it is a hot summer day and the weather is very hot. There happened to be a towering camphor tree on the roadside, which shaded the sun. It was really a good place to enjoy the cool. Su Dongpo sat on a bench under a tree, enjoying the cool while reading. Reading, suddenly there was a cry. He looked up and saw a farmer with a child in his arms coming in a hurry, followed by a crying woman. Dongpo thought: 80% is that the child has something urgent. Although I am not good at medicine, I have read a lot of medical books and pharmacy, and I know a little about common diseases. So he stopped the farmer and said, "Let me have a look!" " It turns out that the couple's middle-aged son is more precious than life, so they named the child "Jin Zai Li". Jin Zaili suddenly fell ill today, and was unconscious. The couple were so scared that they hurried to find a doctor with their children in their arms. As the saying goes, "seek medical treatment in a hurry." The farmer looked at Su Dongpo's dress and was so enthusiastic that he immediately handed the child to him. Dongpo took a look, and the child clenched his teeth and twitched his hands and feet, which was exactly what the medical book said about heatstroke. So he called the farmer to lay the child flat on the ground, picked a handful of camphor leaves and rubbed them under the child's nose. Then, according to the practice in the medical book, I fiddled here and pinched there. After a while, Jin Zai started to cry out loud. The couple were overjoyed. They picked up Jin Zai, grabbed Su Dongpo and walked home. Su Dongpo saw that the farmer was eager to give thanks, so he had to follow. When I came to the farmer's house, I saw that it was not rich, but it was also very neat. In order to show gratitude, the farmer kept Su Dongpo's warm hospitality for three days.

This morning, the farmer excitedly bought two Jin of pork from the collection and brought it back with a bundle of straw. As he walked, he thought: I bought the meat back, and I have to ask my husband about his taste. So I went to ask Su Dongpo.

At this time, the sun just showed half a smiling face, and the morning glow was all over the sky. Dewdrops hung on the rice leaves in the field, like bright Zhendongpo meat beads. Su Dongpo is fascinated by this beautiful natural scenery. He is facing the east window, making a masterpiece of poetry, and is composing poems and lyrics, weighing words and phrases!

Dongpo was fascinated by his poems, and he read aloud: "Wo-Cao-Zhen-Zhu-Touxin Xiang. . . 。” The farmer was stunned. What does this mean, sir? Think about it carefully: yes, he told me to cook the meat with straw and cook it thoroughly, so that it tastes delicious, so he said, "Cook it with grass and make it fragrant." This gentleman is really different from us farmers. He speaks with poetry and even eats meat. Thinking of this, the farmer took the meat to the kitchen, told his wife and straw to put the whole piece of pork in the pot and cook it until it was rotten. When the food was served at dinner, Su Dongpo saw a whole piece of meat, which was uncut and tied with straw. He thought about it for some reason. I want to ask, but I'm embarrassed to ask. Do you want to eat? A whole piece of meat and straw are still tied to it, and I don't know how to do it. The farmer was surprised to see Su Dongpo staring at the meat. He said to Su Dongpo, "I'll ask you in the morning. Didn't you say' cooking with grass makes your heart fragrant'? I made it according to your meaning. Why don't you eat it, sir? "

Su Dongpo suddenly realized. It turned out that the farmer had strung together his words, and the intermittent poems were heard by him as one sentence. In that case, we have to get off the donkey down the slope. So he told him to cut the rope and eat happily with the farmer's family. I didn't expect that pork was mixed with straw flavor, which was very fragrant and delicious. After dinner, the farmer and his wife went out. Dongpo thought: I am very sorry for the host's hospitality and the interruption for several days. I have to go several times, but the host refused. I'd better go today. I was sure of my idea. I took out five or two pieces of silver from my bag and put it on the table, leaving a note saying, "The host was kind enough to refuse, but Dongpo left without saying goodbye." When the farmer and his wife came back, they were surprised to see the police. It turned out that the benefactor who saved their children was the famous Mr. Su Dongpo.
