How did the history of sweet potatoes in Wugongtai come about

Wugongtai Town of Hutubi County is located at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountains and the southern edge of the Junggar Basin. Wugongtai sweet potatoes have been planted in Wugongtai Town for many years. In Xinjiang, according to the Hutubi Yearbook, Wugongtai Town, which is located at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountains, has a large planting area of sweet potatoes. At first, only a small amount of sweet potatoes were planted on soft land to prevent famine and appease hunger; The second is to continue planting sweet potatoes as a food supply for a long time. As farmers in Xishuwozi Village discover that sweet potatoes are more suitable for local cultivation and have high quality and yield, they gradually expand to surrounding villages. According to the local elderly, there is a beautiful legend about sweet potatoes: there was a girl who was ugly, weak and sickly, and had no name since childhood. Everyone called her Ugly Girl. Watching the little girl become an old girl in her late thirties. The villagers laughed at her and even her family despised her. Watching her peers in the village get married and have children one by one, but no one cares about her, she cries every day. She really couldn't understand why drinking the same river water and eating the same pot of grain was so unfair to her just because she looked so ugly. How could God be so unfair! One day, she couldn't bear the pain and suffering, so she took a shortcut. I don't know how long it took, but she regained consciousness and thought she had arrived at the Hall of Hell. But when I open my eyes, I still live in the human world. I can't imagine how difficult it is to live, and it's even harder to want to die. She felt unbearable hunger, so she got up and went to the hillside. She saw a large clump of wild sweet potatoes growing on the hillside and casually dug up a few sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes here are very different from those in the village, with red skin and white flesh! After eating a few sweet potatoes, I felt crispy, sweet, and very smooth in my mouth. She thought to herself that returning to the village would be a laughingstock, and she might as well settle down here, as there were sweet potatoes to satisfy her hunger. So she set up a simple thatched hut and settled down. When she was hungry, she ate some sweet potatoes and rested in the hut. I don't know how long these days had passed... About a few months later, she missed her parents and returned to the village. The villagers thought she was dead, and they were shocked to see her. They almost couldn't recognize her. It turned out that the ugly girl was not only alive, but her skin had also become rosy, white and red, a real beauty. Everyone gathered around and asked her what miraculous medicine she had taken? She told the villagers about her adventure and then led everyone along her route back to find the sweet potato field. Everyone harvested and planted all the sweet potato vines, and from then on, the villagers no longer went hungry
