原文：

经济上的必要是我们的新食品发明之母。我们的人口太紧密，而饥荒太普遍，致令我们不得不吃触手可及的所有东西。这当然很合理，我们即积极的体验一切可吃的东西，自可不期而获得新的发现，一如科学上或医药上的偶然发现。有一件事情，我们发现了一种奇异的人参的滋补效力，它的效力作者愿以自身作证，证明它的确为人类所知的最能滋益精力的补剂，而它的性能缓慢又温和。但是除开了这种医药上的或烹调上的偶然发现，我们实在为地球上唯一无所不食的动物。

译文：

Economic necessity is the mother of invention of new food. In our country, a large population and frequent famines force us to eat everything within our reach. It makes sense that as we proactively experience everything edible, we can make new discoveries by accident, just as how we happen to make scientific and medical discoveries. For example, we have discovered the impressive tonic effect of ginseng and I am ready to prove by my personal example that it can be counted as the most nourishing tonic ever known by humanity, marked by its slow and mild property. In addition to medical or culinary discoveries made by chance, we are indeed the only omnivorous animals in the world.
