The surrounding villages of Pohe Village in Changqiao Town, Jia County are famous for producing large radishes. In order to make Pohe Radish bigger and stronger, in the spring of 2009, Guo Ziqiang from Zhengqiao Village registered and established Zhengqiao Vegetable Planting Professional Cooperative. Zhengqiao Vegetable Planting Professional Cooperative absorbed more than 200 villagers from Pohe, Zhengqiao, Pozhao and other villages as members, with a planting area of over 1000 acres of radish. After investigation, Guo Ziqiang, the leader of wealth creation, decided to carry out deep processing of vegetables and established a vegetable processing factory. They wash, air dry, pickle, and package the discarded radish leaves every year, and process them into delicious and affordable yellow vegetables, which are sold as Pohe radishes. At the same time, they also manually cut the mustard greens into shreds, marinate them, package them, and put them on the market. They also rely on the abundant sweet potato resources in the local area to manually process vermicelli, forming a one-stop agricultural product processing. As soon as the "Pohe Radish", "Pohe Yellow Vegetable", "Pohe Mustard" and "Pohe Noodles" from Zhengqiao Vegetable Processing Factory entered the market, they attracted customers from Zhengzhou, Xuchang and other places. Even customers from Anhui, Hubei and other places came to "smell the fragrance" and ordered Pohe series vegetables in advanceWhat is the nutritional value of Pohe radish1.

After the Qing Dynasty, he became famous overnight due to an anecdote between Emperor Kangxi and a rural shaman. According to legend, during the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi made a secret visit in disguise and traveled south from the capital city, searching for people's sentiments and inquiring about their livelihoods, without disturbing the government or the people. At that time, San Francisco had been established, Taiwan had been liberated, the country was peaceful and the people were at ease, creating a scene of prosperity. One day, Kangxi and his delegation arrived in the Changqiao area of Jia County. It happened to be the beginning of a long period of rain, with clear skies and sparse white clouds over thousands of miles. The town was bustling with shops, bustling with traffic, and bustling with merchants and vendors. Especially after experiencing wars and sparse population in the Central Plains, the trauma of war has long been erased, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Kangxi couldn't help but feel delighted and stayed at the Yuelai Hotel, tasting delicious food and enjoying himself with the people. He also coveted the pure and fragrant taste of Baofeng wine, feeling slightly intoxicated. Coupled with the fatigue of traveling and traveling, the autumn wind gradually cooled down, and occasionally contracted the disease of wind cold. He was bedridden in Li Family Village, not thinking about tea and food, and was restless. The emperor was sick and his attendants were in a hurry. The imperial physician took out the imperial medicine, but despite all his life's education, he still couldn't cure. The eunuch secretly went out to visit the doctor and found Li Langzhong, named Li Taisan, who was over ten miles north of the town in Dalilou Village. He was forty years old and had excellent medical skills, known as "Xiaohuatuo". But this person, due to serving zero, is devoted to filial piety and never goes out. Anyone who is sick comes to seek medical treatment. Upon hearing this, Kangxi's spirit suddenly lifted. He thought to himself that this person had excellent medical skills and was extremely filial. He could be described as a rare person in the countryside and a treasure of the country, so he personally visited him. Li Langzhong noticed that Kangxi's heavenly court was full, with extraordinary appearance, quick witted speech, and an extraordinary person. After questioning and examining his pulse, he was diagnosed with wind cold infection. Li Taisan stewed rock sugar, honey, and "Po River Radish" as soup and served it to Kangxi for drinking. He recovered in two days. Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed and couldn't help but sigh, 'Po River Carrots are truly divine!'. Then, Li Taisan talked with Kangxi about everything from Qi Huang Mai Li and Hang Hu Ji Shi to governing the country and providing for the people. Kangxi couldn't help but feel excited and his blood flowed smoothly. He didn't realize that the two had become good friends and made plans to meet in the capital in the future. A few years later, Tai San's mother passed away, and after the mourning period ended, she began to have the desire to visit teachers and study abroad. He remembered his friend's appointment and set off for the capital. Along the way, I visited households and received free medical treatment, which earned me great respect from people. Li Taisan's visit to the capital happened to be seen by the eunuchs who were once followers of Kangxi, who directly introduced him to the emperor. As a result, they had a long conversation throughout the night. Kangxi wanted to appoint Li Taisan as the imperial physician and keep him in the palace for a long time, enjoying glory and wealth. Li Taisan said he couldn't get used to the restrained life in the palace and wanted to travel around the world like Hua Tuo to heal the suffering of the people for His Majesty. Kangxi was deeply moved when he saw that Li Taisan was so righteous. He immediately granted him the title of "See Zhiping" and set up a memorial archway in the east of Dalilou Village, Changqiao Town, Jia County.
