The five Yunnan kingdoms are in the end of the world, and the scenery of the mountains and rivers of the Six Commandments is magnificent. --Ming Lou Lian
The scenery and things of Yunnan are collected in these fourteen words of Lou Lian.
The first time I came to Zhushan, I was moved by its beauty, green water and green mountains, blue sky and white clouds, beautiful, green tiles and white walls of the house hidden in it, quite a sense of Taoyuan secret, let people linger. People are reborn in reinforced concrete, or they want to be treated gently in nature.

A hundred-year-old ginseng plant
In Zhushan, the most impressive thing is the cloud ginseng that emits a unique smell. Cloud ginseng, also known as stink ginseng and stinky medicine, is a special plant medicine in the alpine forest area of Yunnan, growing in the shrub jungle at an altitude of 1500m and above in Yunnan. Cloud ginseng has a long history of cultivation and consumption, has always been the favorite of the people of Yunnan, because the price is not expensive, but also laughed at as "civilian ginseng".
Cloud ginseng is shaped like ginseng, about 3 times that of ordinary ginseng on the block head, the rhizome is thick, conical, the flesh is mostly light yellow, and the fresh section will produce white pulp or yellow pulp. The efficacy of cloud ginseng is also similar to that of ginseng, which can tonify the qi, yin and blood, and the work of meridian vitality, and is a good folk tonic, suitable for patients with weak spleen and stomach, lung weakness and long cough, weakness and susceptibility to wind chills, and weakness after illness.
The unique geographical environment has created an original taste of homegrown growth, and cloud ginseng is also the best quality produced by Yiliang Zhushan. Zhushan is located in an alpine mountainous area, rich in forests, natural and pollution-free primitive ecological environment, including all the conditions for the growth of a high-quality cloud ginseng that likes yin and moisture.
Zhushan has been cultivating cloud ginseng for more than 400 years, and the cultivation method of cloud ginseng has been passed down from generation to generation by the simple people of Zhushan. They strictly follow the timing, cultivate with care and harvest carefully. A hundred years of ancient law, the reincarnation of the four seasons, to be able to let a good ginseng out of the earth.

"Ancient law" is not glory, "nutrition" is
The earth is like a mother, giving birth to the essence of heaven and earth. Every autumn and winter, when the ginseng is ripe, its leaves will be like carrot leaves, and it will be a beautiful harvest in the mountains. At this time, the villagers will take small hoes and baskets up the mountain to dig up cloud ginseng, make delicious dishes, and reward themselves and their families who have been busy for a year.
Some "medicinal meals" often make people feel that they are purely taking medicine, losing the delicious and delicious meaning of culinary works. However, cloud ginseng is delicious and has a significant tonic effect, such as soup, stew, cold mix, sauce, and wine.
Cloud ginseng stew is the most common way to eat locals, cloud involved in chicken, ribs, pork knuckle and other ingredients stewed, not only delicious taste, nourishing effect is also very obvious.
Take the cloud ginseng stewed ribs as an example, first cook the ribs, put in the cut cloud ginseng and cook it. The boiled soup is mellow, the entrance of cloud ginseng is tender and sweet, and the whole soup has a special fragrance of cloud ginseng.

I want not only poetry and distant places, but also dreams of becoming better with this mountain
The development of Yunnan cloud ginseng industry is inseparable from the hard work of cloud ginseng agriculture. Yunnan Province planted 22,000 mu of cloud ginseng, of which the planting area and cooperation area of cloud ginseng agricultural company reached 18,000 mu, and the finished product output of cloud ginseng in the province was 12,000 tons, and the cloud ginseng seedlings were 450 tons.
Yun ginseng agriculture, that is, Yunnan Yun Ginseng Industrial Group, founded in 2016, is the original Yunnan Yun Ginseng Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. and Cloud Ginseng Production and Marketing Association, Cloud Ginseng Planting Cooperative on the basis of the establishment, the group parent company registered capital of 50 million yuan, subordinate agricultural companies, production and marketing associations, cooperatives a total of six branches, is a collection of cloud ginseng seedling cultivation, planting, acquisition, technology promotion, deep processing and sales as one of the cloud ginseng industry chain group, is the only one specializing in cloud ginseng scale, The group of industrial development is also the standard setter of the cloud ginseng industry. The development of cloud ginseng agriculture is inseparable from a post-80s young man named Luo Jianlin. Luo Jianlin, a leader in cloud ginseng agriculture, is the inheritor of three generations of cloud ginseng industry. Luo Jianlin is a native of Yiliang, and his hometown father and elder have funded his studies, allowing him to go out of the mountains and open up a broader life. A person who leaves his hometown is like a kite flying into the sky. The gratitude in his heart, like a wire winder, pulled Luo Jianlin back to his hometown. Everything from gratitude, to repay the society as their responsibility, in 2016, Luo Jianlin actively engaged in cloud ginseng agriculture, to create economic value for enterprises at the same time, but also want to get out of poverty for the hometown farmers, live a better life, but also make this mountain, and people's lives become better.
But planting a natural ginseng that does not use any pesticides or fertilizers is really not as simple as it seems. At the end of 2016, Zhou Jianlin ran all over the mountains of Yiliang, found the most suitable cloud ginseng, consulted almost all the older generation of local farmers, and learned the ancient cultivation of cloud ginseng.
Later, the company cooperated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, yunnan academy of agricultural sciences, Yunnan Agricultural University and other scientific research institutes to vigorously develop cloud ginseng products, which are based on ancient cultivation of cloud ginseng. In order to store the delicious storage of cloud ginseng, cloud ginseng agriculture has developed a wealth of cloud ginseng hot sauce, cloud ginseng noodles, cloud ginseng wine and other rich cloud participation products.
