The ingenuity of craftsmen is not only for the professional conscience and ethics of practitioners, but also for the moral constraints and spirit of people. Our 5,000-year-old civilization in China has been carrying a heavy craftsman spirit.

There is a story in Zhuangzi, that is, "A clever woman can't cook without rice". The story is about a cook slaughtering cattle for Liang. When Liang watched the chef slaughter cattle, the places where his hands touched, where his shoulders rested, where his feet stepped, where his knees stood, and when he entered the knife, it was sonorous and rhythmic. Liang was puzzled and asked the chef, "How can your understanding of cows be so superb?" The chef replied to Liang: "I contacted the cow with my spirit, not with my eyes." According to the original structure of the cow, I inserted a thin blade at the crevice joint. Nineteen years later, my blade is as sharp as if it had just been ground from a grindstone. " The chef also said, "Whenever you encounter a place that is difficult to cut, you should carefully raise your attention, focus on one point, slow down your movements, and sigh, and the bones and meat of the cow will be untied at once." .

This story tells us that for practitioners, being good at their ways and their hearts is naturally better. Switzerland's watch industry and Germany's seiko apprentices value two words-diligence.

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people who can meditate and concentrate, not to mention the lofty spiritual pursuit of "craftsman's ingenuity". When faced with the choice, more people will worship and admire, but at the same time they will stay away. Asked why, most of the answers are: "That thing can't be eaten or drunk. What's the use? It's really affordable! " .

By chance, I met Zhang Zhifu, a fruit craftsman in Fumin County, Kunming, Yunnan. At the age of 4/kloc-0, he comes from the depths of the mountains in Yunnan. He is an agronomist and a fruit craftsman. It is his eight years of cultivation and cultivation in natural farming and eight years of enzyme farming practice. Of course, what you can see is that his fruit trees are full of flowers today, and soon the fruits will be covered with branches. But no one knows the sadness and difficulty behind sticking to the craftsman's ingenuity for eight years. Please come with me to Zhang Zhifu and his cultivation in natural agriculture, and what unknown stories are behind them.

The process of interviewing Zhang Zhifu is a process of self-knowledge and introspection. Eight years ago, Zhang Zhifu was the village head of the new countryside. At that time, like others, he was planting fruit trees, spraying pesticides and using chemical fertilizers. These were his routine operating procedures at that time. One day, his relatives came to the orchard to pick peaches, tasted the fruit and said, "This peach tastes nothing like a peach!" " "It is this sentence that makes Zhang Zhifu, who has been posing as a planting expert, feel uncomfortable. Qiang, he listened to it in his ears, but kept it in his heart. That is, from that day on, he began to focus on how to make his own peaches taste like peaches.

One day after that, I accidentally read in the newspaper that a teacher in Qingdao, Shandong Province was planting enzyme apples. He had a strong interest in this, and finally found the contact information of this teacher after many inquiries. On the phone, Zhang Zhifu offered to send him two enzyme apples to taste. In this way, he tasted the original flavor of apples for a long time. This made him very excited, as if he saw the lighthouse ahead in confusion.

The picture is: Zhang Zhifu and his wife and daughter are in the middle; The first one on the right is Mr. Huo Dawei, one of the photographers of this voluntary shooting; The first one on the left is Wang Ping, a kind sister and a volunteer who helps Zhang Zhifu. The third one on the left is Wang Ping's 80-year-old mother. I heard that she is going to shoot for free publicity in Zhang Zhifu. Regardless of her age and the height of the mountain, the old man insisted on climbing the mountain with Wang Ping's sister.

Since then, he began to explore the practice of enzyme agriculture. The experimental field is his own fruit tree forest, and the experimental funds are paid by him. He said: "In the past, when the enzyme culture method was not used, I added 50,000 to 60,000 extra income every year. For him, this is enough. He doesn't feel the pressure. Since the adoption of the enzyme breeding method, the previous income has disappeared, and it depends on his own hard work. " I asked him why. He said: "The practice of enzyme culture can not bear fruit in a year or two. Those who say that the practice of enzyme farmers last year will bear fruit this year are deceptive. " .

Later, through communication with him, I realized that enzyme breeding is not a one-off event, it involves the improvement and evolution of the whole ecosystem. As far as the improvement and evolution of the ecosystem are concerned, it takes at least three years for the soil with less damage and its surrounding ecological environment to be updated, and it is impossible for the soil with serious damage to be completed without seven or eight years.

In the picture, because the person who went to shoot was a little uncertain about the harmlessness of the enzyme, Zhang Zhifu said on the spot, "You don't believe it because you don't understand, so I don't blame you. I can give you a drink now. " So I drank the enzyme that I was going to pour into the spray gun to spray the fruit trees. He said: "As long as it is my own fermented enzyme, as long as someone doesn't believe it, I can try it on the spot." Seeing his confident performance, a group of people applauded him.

Speaking of enzymes, Zhang Zhifu, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to speak. From his story, I, a complete layman, gradually saw its true colors. At the same time, I was very surprised by the experts Kan Kan talked about. When I first came into contact, I saw an honest cultivator. I didn't expect the understanding and application of enzymes to reach such a precise level, which also made me respect the "artisan ingenuity" of this rich fruit craftsman!

In his story, I learned:

What is an enzyme?

Enzyme is a kind of substance with special biological activity, which is composed of amino acids. It exists in all living animals and plants, and is an essential substance for maintaining normal functions of the body, digesting food, repairing tissues and other life activities. It participates in almost all life activities: thinking, exercise, sleep, breathing, anger, crying or hormone secretion are the results of enzyme-centered activities. The catalytic action of enzyme catalyst promotes the progress of biochemical reactions and life phenomena in the body. Without enzymes, biochemical reactions can't be carried out, and five nutrients (carbohydrates, lipids, protein, vitamins and minerals) become useless to the body, and life phenomena will stop. Therefore, the importance of enzymes to life is self-evident, and even many people call them "living substances" and "substances that control all life activities".

Benefits of enzymes

Decompose-decompose and digest the food you eat, make it easy to absorb and promote the rapid recovery of physical strength.

Clean up the internal environment, purify blood, improve physique-decompose, eliminate waste, and make blood weak (alkaline).

Anti-inflammatory and anti-sperm effects-transport white blood cells, promote the function of white blood cells and enhance their self-healing ability.

Anti-tumor and disease-resistant effects-combined with appropriate drugs and nutritional preparations, catalysts promote flowering, stimulate curative effect, complement each other and reduce side effects.

Prevent serious hair loss, gray hair and dandruff.

There are enzymes in human eggs and sperm to promote fertilization of sperm. In addition, it can revive women's declining ovarian cells and promote reproductive function.

Anti-hangover and hangover prevention.

Children who don't like fruits and vegetables are the best source of nutrition and energy.

Revitalize cells-promote cell metabolism and increase heat energy consumption.

People suitable for enzymes:

1, ladies who pay attention to health and fitness.

2. Natural foods such as vegetables are insufficient.

3. People who get tired easily

4. I hope to promote metabolism. Fruits and vegetables planted with enzymes have higher edible value, return to nature, and ensure the safety of food and fruits! Enzymes mixed with water are sprayed on orchards and fruit trees. Small molecules of enzymes can decompose chemical fertilizers, pesticides and heavy metal residues on fruit trees. Using enzymes to manage fruit trees can repair soil, restore soil health and enhance the immunity of fruit trees, thus bearing healthy fruits. We call it enzyme fruit. Eating fruit with enzymes can enhance human immunity, repair human cells, eliminate toxins in the body, eliminate stool, supplement enzymes in the body and delay aging! Vegetables managed by enzymes are called enzyme vegetables, and crops planted by enzymes are called enzyme crops! Enzymes are biological enzymes, not pesticides and fertilizers! Enzymes are used on fruit trees to drive away bugs, not to kill them! Regular consumption of fruits and vegetables planted with enzymes or drinking edible enzymes can replenish enzymes in the body, reduce cholesterol in the body and prolong life!

This is the explanation given to me by Zhang Zhifu, a fruit craftsman who has persisted in enriching the people for 8 years. Hearing this, I have to admit that he is a "craftsman" who is good at his way and dedicated to his heart.

In the next issue, we will report "The Craftsman's Ingenuity", and take you to know the touching story behind Zhang Zhifu and his enzyme agriculture practice. Please pay attention to the follow-up report of this headline.

At the end of this topic, I want to take his words that deeply touched me as the conclusion of this issue. He said, "We engage in natural farming, grow fruits with enzymes, and wait until we return to nature to ensure food safety and return to a pure land for good consumers!"
