Li Baoguo was a university teacher in Hebei Province. He thought it wasn't enough to give lessons just in a classroom. Li spent his whole life helping poor farmers improve their agricultural (农业的) skills. In 2016, the year he died, President Xi Jinping said that he was like "Yugong on the Taihang Mountains".
Li Baoguo did most of his important work in the Taihang Mountains. He heard that the farmers there were very poor and decided to help them. He thought that the farmers needed change the empty, lifeless mountains around them into green land and grow crops and trees on the mountains.
He taught the farmers how to make ditches (沟渠) to collect rain water, and then helped then grow apple trees and other crops. He organized more than 800 training lessons and wrote simp books for them to read. After 1981, he spent more than 200 days every year planting trees and crops with the villagers. Thanks to him, this land now is covered with crops that help the farm make a lot more money. Li worked hard in the countryside of Hebei Province for 35 years. He helped about 100,000 farmers to live better. In all those long years, he never complained (抱怨) about the working conditions in the mountains.
In 2018, a film, The Taste of Apple, was made. It tells the story of Li Baoguo. When it was shown in one of the villages that he had helped, people cried. The farmers recalled the hard work of Li. They said they would never forget his dedication (奉献) to helping them live a better life.
Nowadays, many young people are busy with their work, and they don't have time to shop every day. They often buy enough food for at least a week. But eating food not kept correctly could make you sick. The fridge may be a perfect choice for keeping food safe and fresh, but it's not a magic box to keep all kinds of food. Follow these tips and learn how to store food correctly in your fridge.
The temperature in the fresh-keeping area can be different in different shelves. Generally speaking, the higher the shelf is, the higher the temperature will be. So use these different temperatures to keep your food on the right shelf. Try to put ready-to-eat food like hamburgers, pizza or cream cakes on top shelves. The middle shelves are the most suitable for dairy products (乳制品) such as cheese, butter and yogurt. Bottom shelves are the coldest part of the fridge, making them perfect for keeping raw (生的) meat and seafood. Some fridges have a freezer (冷冻室) for keeping these things, so of course make use of that if you have one.
Keeping food in the fridge does not kill bacteria (细菌) but it can stop the bacteria from growing fast. Bacteria can grow quickly in temperatures between 5℃ and 60℃. This is the Temperature Danger Zone. If you want to get the most out of your food, the temperature in the fresh-keeping area needs to be between 0℃ and 5℃. The freezer temperature should be below-18℃.
Everyone should pay attention to food safety. Hope these tips can help you keep your food fresh as long as possible.
