Plum Pit in Lizui, Longchuan, this beautiful name is still related to the water in Lizui. The famous Longchuan mineral water and Huoshan mineral water come from here.
in p>199, Longchuan mineral water became the designated mineral water drink in the 11th Asian Games. Longchuan mineral water has won more than 3 national and ministerial gold, silver and quality awards.
Meizikeng mineral spring was discovered by a geological team. In 196, the provincial geological team was working near Meizi Mountain, and found that on the rock at the root of the mountain, crystal water drops kept falling on the puddle under the rock, but the puddle was a steaming spring. At that time, a geologist had a stomachache, so he scooped up a cup of salty mountain spring and drank it. Strange to say, after a while, his stomach stopped hurting. The story spread widely, and the masses said that Meizishan had discovered "immortal water" that could cure all diseases. Meizishan is famous, as far away as Jiangxi and Fujian, and as close as eight neighboring townships, people took the trouble to come to Meizishan to pick up "fairy water" with bottles and jars.
According to the scientific research and appraisal of the Ministry of Light Industry, the spring water contains not only appropriate amounts of potassium, sodium, calcium and natural carbonated gas, but also more than 1 kinds of trace elements necessary for human body, such as magnesium, iron, cadmium, zinc, strontium and lithium, which are just close to the standards necessary for human body. The composition of this mineral spring cannot be synthesized according to the existing scientific level. Experts believe that its chemical composition is almost the same as that of French "Friar Vichy-Zerihiding" mineral water, and it can be listed as one of the world-famous mineral springs.
based on the work of hydrogeology engineering geology team of Guangdong Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, Longchuan mineral water was formally built and developed in 1965. But soon encountered the "Cultural Revolution" and the factory was gone.
In April, 198, the famous French company De Hinebu sent people to visit the site, and after obtaining the test results, it proposed to cooperate with China to jointly develop and utilize Longchuan mineral water, with an annual output of 15, tons to 5, tons, and the products were underwritten by them. However, at the beginning of reform and opening up, it was not realized for various reasons.
In p>1983, a company from Hong Kong came to cooperate. After the first batch of 18 tons of products were shipped to Hong Kong, they were sold out within a few days. However, the company had limited resources, and the utilization was only two or three thousand tons. A large amount of mineral water was sprayed out of the thick conduit at the bowl mouth and wasted in vain.
Wei Qizhen, the p>78-year-old first boss of Longchuan Mineral Water Plant, said that the annual flow of the three springs in Meizikeng is 27, tons, of which the annual flow of the No.1 spring is 24, tons, all of which are ejected from the depth of 3, meters without any external interference. At that time, Wei Qizhen was the factory director and took the lead in going to the spring. As a result, the air inside was thin, and he became dizzy only a few meters. Then he went in with an oxygen bag.
In the winter of p>1987, the Department of Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology of the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources issued a technical appraisal certificate to Long mineral water, and considered that the water quality characteristic indexes of the three discovered spring points had reached the standard of natural mineral water, and the spring water quantity, water temperature and water quality were dynamically stable. Among them, Spring No.1 and Spring No.2 belong to carbonated water of sodium bicarbonate with silicic acid, strontium and lithium, which are precious and high-quality natural mineral water.
This time, the report group of "Hakka Ancient City Culture Tour" entered the exit of No.1 spring, only to see the water vapor in the cave, and reached out to explore in the mineral spring. The spring was warm. The members of the reporting group directly scooped several cups and tasted them. They were salty, but they were not polluted or processed.
It is reported that the Meizikeng mineral spring is being developed by Longchuan Mineral Water Co., Ltd., with a plant area of more than 1, square meters and more than 2 employees. It has two internationally advanced mineral water production lines with an annual output of more than 4, tons of Huoshan brand mineral water.
Lizui Town attaches great importance to the environmental protection of Meizikeng mineral spring, and no one is allowed to mine, set up factories or dump domestic garbage around the water source of mineral spring water plant to ensure the safety of drinking water. Meizikeng mineral spring is another important water article made by Lizui town to make full use of the advantages of mountain resources.
