What is the source of our crocuses?
Saffron, formerly known as crocus, has a story about the origin of its name.

As early as the Qing Dynasty in Tibet, the saffron family was a merchant family. Over the years, they have been engaged in various Tibetan specialties, and sometimes they have done some business with businessmen from the distant Central Plains, so their lives are decent and rich. However, saffron still wants to do bigger business and bring more wealth from the Central Plains back home.

One day, Saffron found a group of strangers, riding camels and carrying a lot of goods, camping outside the tent. Business-minded, he immediately went to inquire. It turns out that they are Persians from Iran, and they are here to do the Iranian treasure business. Safran brought the Persians into the tent and offered them milk tea as a good entertainment. The Persians opened the bag containing the goods, and immediately the house was brightly lit. I saw this foreign body with bright red color and unique smell, named "saffron". A Persian woman named Leah said that this flower, as a treasure of Iran, can be used as a dye to make a beautiful robe carpet, or as a perfume to make a high-grade perfume as a royal tribute. This time, they passed through Tibet, hoping to bring this wonderful flower into the Central Plains and promote trade between the two places.

Saffron saw that this woman named Leah was so beautiful and asked why. It turns out that this flower can not only be used as spice, but also be eaten. When women eat this flower, it can not only replenish blood and regulate breath, but also improve skin, regulate menstruation and stop bleeding. Of course, this flower is not only very effective for deficiency of both qi and blood, but also can be eaten by men, which can be described as a good health product. Safran was greatly surprised, so he immediately bought these goods and went to the Central Plains to trade with the people of the Central Plains.
