10,000 acres of lotus root knocking on the "door to get rich"
On September 22, walking in Nanqiao Village, Hui Town, Chucheng City, I saw two- or three-story buildings scattered in a staggered manner, highlighting the wealth and solidity of the village. On the wall, ink paintings of lotus roots reflect the different heritage of this village.
Nanqiao Village, the origin of the National Geographic Trademark of Qiucheng Lotus. In the village, the lotus root culture wall can be seen everywhere, and the lotus fields are connected into pieces. Lotus root is the most distinctive feature of South Bridge.
The meat of "Chucheng Lotus" is crispy, the texture is delicate, the taste is delicious, the raw food is as sweet as autumn pears, and the cooked food is like chestnut-like puffs, which is popular with the public and the market. In 2013, "Chu Cheng Lotus" was approved as a national geographical indication certification trademark.
"Qiucheng Lotus, just count the most authentic of our South Bridge." Speaking of Lotus, Gao Qiyan, secretary of the party branch of Nanqiao Village, could not hide his excitement. He said that Nanqiao has a long history of planting lotus, not only is the water and soil suitable for planting lotus, everyone understands technology, can plant lotus, and is still a good hand at picking lotus.
At present, more than 100 of the more than 270 villagers in Nanqiao Village make a living by planting lotus roots. The whole village has developed more than 1,000 acres of lotus planting, of which 200 acres are early lotus, so as to achieve seamless docking and supply of early lotus and medium ripe lotus in all seasons.
"This year, the price of lotus root is good, the opening price is 13 yuan per catty, and it has lasted for nearly 20 days." Liu Guozhong, a 58-year-old lotus farmer in Nanqiao Village, said happily. Liu Guozhong has been planting lotus for more than 20 years, and this year his family's 20 acres of greenhouses have achieved a bumper harvest, with an output of nearly 1,000 catties per mu, only one stubble of early lotus, and a net income of more than 100,000 yuan.
He said that he understands technology, can manage greenhouses, is willing to suffer losses, does not need to ask people to pick lotus, and there is no additional cost. It is precisely by virtue of his own losses and hard work that Liu Guozhong's family built a building and purchased mechanical equipment such as rotary cultivators.
Nanqiao early lotus, both crisp and sweet, the market is popular, a lotus root can sell dozens of it. Because of the good quality, when the lotus is listed in the morning in May every year, the lotus farmers go down to the field in the early morning to collect the lotus, and the dealers come to the lotus field to wait, spontaneously forming a trading market, basically selling it to hotels in surrounding counties and cities.
"Not only are the early lotus roots pretty, but the middle ripe lotus is also sold out." Gao Qiyan introduced that this year, the yield of ripe lotus in Nanqiao is nearly 4,000 jin per mu, the current wholesale price is about 2.8 yuan per catty, and the net income of villagers per mu can reach more than 6,000 yuan.
Since the lotus field needs to be rotated, Nanqiao Village does not have enough fields to develop lotus root cultivation, and the idle lotus farmers go out to contract the field to plant lotus. At present, nearly 100 villagers in Nanqiao Village have rented fields and planted lotus roots in honghu, jianli and other surrounding counties and cities, with a development area of more than 10,000 mu.
"Picking lotus, you can have a stable income of more than 300 yuan per day, and you can get more than 800 yuan a day with sharp hands and feet." In Nanqiao Village, many villagers helped cooperatives and large planters to collect lotus roots after they sold out, and used their diligent hands to earn considerable labor fees.

Fisherman's Transformation
"Fisherman" Zhou Changhai transferred the fish pond of more than 20 acres of land left by his father's fish farming to the local company and became the boss. On a crisp autumn day, standing in his 2-story homestay and looking at the increasing number of tourists in the village, Zhou Changhai could not believe that he really did not need these fish ponds anymore.
53 years ago, Zhou Changhai's father moved from Danjiangkou to live in Mitang Fishing Village. My father would make rice wine, but due to market reasons, he could not show his fists. Mitang fishing village soil is fertile, clean water, in order to live, Zhou Changhai's father learned to breed with the villagers.
Getting up early and greedy, the water comes and goes, Zhou Changhai's father's life is as constant as the sunrise and sunset, and after today he knows what tomorrow is like. "You can't wait for a lifetime." In Zhou Changhai's memory, whenever the harvest is poor, the old father will drink some wine and look at the fish pond and mutter. He understood that in this life, he could only live by raising fish.
Day after day, Zhou Changhai's father carefully took care of dozens of acres of fish ponds. Before dying, the old man gave his life's work to Zhou Changhai.
"Count two and a half days in one day", Zhou Changhai seemed to see his fate in his father's body. In 2017, Zhou Changhai turned 42 years old. This year, in response to the city's call to "develop Dapai Lake and develop Dapai Lake", the village established the Mitang Fishing Village Tourism Development Cooperative, which wants to increase the income of villagers through the combination of agriculture and tourism and ecological breeding.
"What does this have to do with me?" One day, Chen Changqing, president of the cooperative, came to Zhou Changhai's house to touch the situation and listen to his thoughts, but Zhou Changhai did not say much and turned around and went to his own fish pond.
But this time it really has something to do with Zhou Changhai. The Paihu Lake Scenic Area introduced The town of Qiuyang and the water park, and 2 companies wanted to pay for the circulation of the villagers' fish ponds and build new sites. The fishermen were not happy, "After taking our fields, what will we eat and drink?" In order to reassure his concerns, Chen Changqing went door to door to do work, "everyone can not only sit and collect rent, but also go to work in the company." Zhou Changhai gave Tian to Chen Changqing with the mentality of trying. At that time, 60% of the village's farmland was leased to the company.
As the president of the cooperative, Chen Changqing has long-term plans. He "tailored" and established the Rice Dumpling Cooperative, the Rice Wine Cooperative and the Labor Service Company to find a way out for the transformation of the villagers. Many skilled villagers became bosses with the help of cooperatives.
Danjiangkou immigrants are good at making rice wine, and Zhou Changhai is no exception. Under the introduction of Chen Changqing, he came to Qiuyang Town to become the boss, the scenic spot business is good, and the rice wine brings him more than 80,000 yuan of income a year.
Without a fish pond, Zhou Changhai's daughter-in-law was "unemployed". Without a skill, she found Chen Changqing to "complain", Chen Changqing took her to study in the labor service company, and arranged for her to work as a waiter in the Qiuyang Town Hotel. "The working hours are short, the income is stable, and there is no difference between me and the people in the city." Zhou Changhai's daughter-in-law was full of smiles.
There are more attractions and more tourists coming to visit. "Not only to bring in, but also to keep." At that time, Chen Changqing led the villagers to jingshan prince town to investigate and study, and a series of chic homestays attracted their attention. Chen Changqing wants to build such a homestay in the village.
On the way back, Chen Changqing consulted with the villagers. The new homestay is a big deal, no one is willing to try it easily, and the atmosphere in the car is instantly quiet. "I'll try it." Zhou Changhai stood up.
Zhou Changhai and his two sons cobbled together a homestay, and before it was completed, many tourists booked rooms in advance. Zhou Changhai touched the back of his head while enjoying it. The villagers saw that Zhou Changhai's homestay was "on fire" and came to build a homestay. Nowadays, rows of unique homestays have become a beautiful landscape.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, The fishing village of Mitang is full of joy and laughter, and several restaurants are full of popularity. Zhou Changhai and his wife specially cleaned up the room at home and waited for the tourists who came to visit. (All-media reporter Hu Sheng)

Dreamers build in the fields
"Very busy! Rice is about to enter the harvest season, field management is the key, all aspects need to be worried, orders from all over the world can not be answered..." On September 16, the reporter walked into the Wing Farmers Aquaculture Professional Cooperative in Mopan Village, Shahu Town, only to see a young man wearing white short sleeves and black trousers, instructing workers to weed and pump water in the field, busy without touching the ground.
The young man, Ma Junbo, 36 years old, originally engaged in clothing business in Beijing, in 2018 in response to the call of the able people to return to their hometown, and several partners invested a total of 8.5 million yuan to circulate more than 1,000 acres of land from villagers to develop rice shrimp and catfish industries in Mopan Village, Shahu Town. In the past few years, thanks to the good policies introduced by the state to develop agriculture, coupled with the honest management of cooperatives, the road to prosperity has become wider and wider. Last year, the sales of the cooperative reached nearly 12 million yuan, the annual gross income of the shrimp and rice industry was 1.9 million yuan, and the gross income of the catfish industry was more than 10 million yuan. In 2018, the cooperative operated by Ma Junbo won the title of "Demonstration Base of New Agricultural Operation Entity" at the town level.
What can be done with farming? At first, the family took a wait-and-see attitude towards Ma Junbo's "field entrepreneurship". Transfer land, establish wing agricultural aquaculture professional cooperatives, go to Qianjiang, Hanchuan and other places to study, invite aquatic experts to the field for guidance, repair ecological ditches and drainage and irrigation systems in and around the rice fields... Ma Junbo's step by step, the goal is clear: to take the road of green ecological breeding.
Change, from the first year, is evident. Ma Junbo calculated an account for reporters: In the past, villagers planted one season of rice a year in the field, and after removing various expenses, the net income per mu was only a few hundred yuan; and after he transferred the land and unified management, he adopted the "rice and shrimp co-cultivation" industrial model, and the net income per mu increased by 1200 yuan. In addition, the rice grown in the rice and shrimp ecological breeding mode is ecologically healthy, the quality of lobster is excellent, and the economic benefits are higher. Last year, the cooperative produced 480,000 catties of rice per year, which was transported to a nearby drying plant for drying and directly transported to the rice company for sale, which not only sold well, but also the price of rice was much higher than that of ordinary rice.
With a successful model, many nearby villagers were impressed. Ma Junbo did not hesitate to provide technology and sales channels to the people in need free of charge in accordance with the industrialization model of "cooperative + base + farmer". Zeng Xiangzhou, a 70-year-old villager who has been lifted out of poverty, said happily: "Since working in the cooperative, he is proficient in all aspects of shrimp farming, and often nearby villagers come to him to learn from him." ”
Do it for the villagers to see, take the villagers to do it. If the farmer encounters any problems, as long as he calls Ma Junbo, he will always take time to answer the villagers' questions. At present, his cooperative has transferred a total of 1,000 mu of land to the villagers, bringing 700,000 yuan of income to the villagers, of which 100 mu of land involving the villagers who have been lifted out of poverty has brought 70,000 yuan of land circulation income to the poverty alleviation villagers; at the same time, more than 30 villagers nearby have been hired to work in the cooperative for short-term work, and the average income of households has increased by more than 10,000 yuan, so that the villagers have a new hope for getting rich.
"Farmers' Harvest Festival is a call to agricultural innovation. As a new type of professional farmer, I will take 'adjusting the structure, expanding production, and creating benefits' as the criterion and goal in the future, arm my mind with modern agricultural ideas, and drive more villagers to get rich. Ma Junbo said. (All-media reporter Cai Ling)

"Fancy business" is bright red
After decolorization, rinsing, coloring, drying and other processes, a simple flower can magically "live forever". On September 17, gong Zhenghong, the owner of the Zhenghong Flower Planting Professional Cooperative in Yanglinwei Town, was packing the "Immortal Flowers" he had made.
Boxed cartons are lined up, and 16 colors of immortal flowers, including cherry blossom pink, champagne, pink, and royal blue, are packed into cardboard boxes with consistent specifications. The shipment, worth 100,000 yuan, is about to be sent to Kunming, Yunnan.
Immortal flowers are cut flowers using roses, carnations, phalaenopsis orchids, hydrangeas and other categories, after dehydration, decolorization, drying, dyeing and a series of complex processes processed into dried flowers, it maintains the characteristics of flowers, and the color is richer, more versatile, and the preservation time is at least 3 years.
"The requirements for making immortal flowers are particularly high. The first is to require a large flower head, a good flower shape, the dyeing link is the most critical, and the formula ratio is very strict. Last summer, Gong Zhenghong returned from his studies in Kunming, Yunnan Province, and immediately began to promote the "Immortal Flower" project, and after four months of exploration, his "processing" technology gradually matured.
Gong Zhenghong, 36, is a native of Zhongling Village, Yanglinwei Town. In 2017, he returned to his hometown Xiantao from Beijing for 9 years and invested more than 1 million yuan to circulate 40 acres of land in Xinglong Village, Yanglinwei Town, and built 92 rose planting greenhouses. Last year, an epidemic led to the blossoming of flowers in the garden, no one could be transported out, and he could only watch the flowers rot in the ground, and Gong Zhenghong decided to transform into "deep processing".
In October last year, Gong Zhenghong finally tasted the sweetness of transformation, and the wholesale price of the deep-processed immortal flowers increased by more than ten times, and more than 70% were exported to Australia. At the beginning of this year, he replanted half of the rose greenhouses to Penglai Pine and built an ecological flower production workshop.
"There are already 2 million sales this year." As a new farmer, Gong Zhenghong broke the traditional breeding model, first found the market, built a network, and then customized production according to customer needs. The considerable income has also led to the employment of 8 local villagers at the doorstep of their homes.
In the greenhouse next to the processing workshop, the penglai pine is thick with greenery, growing just right, swaying in the wind. "Penglai pine is 'good to feed', the vitality is tenacious, and in the future, I plan to plant all of Penglai pine and then process it into immortal flowers for sale." Gong Zhenghong said that he has mastered mature techniques in planting, processing and other aspects, and as long as the villagers are willing to learn, they can train for free.
"One person is not rich, and one is rich!" At present, Gong Zhenghong is ready to expand the planting area, introduce more flower varieties suitable for the Jianghan Plain, create the largest ecological flower base in Hubei, and lead the villagers to get rich together.

"Filial piety and making money can be both"
In the morning, Liu Jie accompanied his wife and children to eat breakfast on the street, and then packed a portion for the old mother, two oil cakes, and a bowl of eel meal. Watching the old mother eat satisfactorily, Liu Jie smiled foolishly. This kind of ordinary happiness, for Liu Jie, is very content and very gratifying.
Liu Jie, 41, is a native of Caitan Village, Huchang Town. 6 years ago, due to his father's serious illness, he and his wife quit their jobs and returned home, regaining their status as farmers and finding a balance between filial piety and earning money. At present, he has transferred more than 600 mu of land in his village and neighboring villages, engaged in rice and shrimp hedging, lotus shrimp hedging, fish farming, lotus planting, and lotus belt, with an annual net income of more than 300,000 yuan.
At first, Liu Jie, like his peers in the village, went out to work after graduating from junior high school. Learn to tailor, do decoration, run sales, toss for many years, did not save any money. It was not until after the marriage that the two young people settled down, and they became more and more smooth in a factory in Qingdao, saving one or two hundred thousand yuan every year.
However, the parents who stayed at home are getting older, and it is a little difficult to bring their grandchildren. Especially the father, diabetes, high blood pressure, in 2015 was diagnosed with lung cancer. On the one hand, there is a stable income, and on the other hand, there is a responsibility that cannot be abandoned. Liu Jie was also very distressed, but in the end, he decided to "return to the countryside and find a way while filial piety."
I heard that the prospect of raising shrimp and planting lotus is good, and Liu Jie, who first returned to his hometown, went around to entrust people to find fields. There was no nearby, so I had to "cast a net" in the distance. Finally, in Yanglinwei Town, a 400-acre pit pond was found. For the sake of safety, he first invested in partnership with others and learned while doing. Later, he rented 200 acres of land in Xinli Renkou. From easy to difficult, they first tried to plant early roots and rice, and after a slight profit, they tried to plant old roots, lotus roots, and lotus belts. Later, the pace became more and more stable. At its peak, they rented more than 2,000 acres of land to cultivate at the same time.
It's not always okay to run in the distance. In 2016, when his father was critically ill, Liu Jie felt very tired. The Caitan Village Committee gave him active support. He was encouraged to circulate a 35-acre collective fish pond in his village through public bidding. In order to repay the trust of the villagers, he paid a one-time rent to the village for 3 years. The villagers who once abandoned the wasteland now have a profit, so they all welcome him. Slowly, he retired from the distant fields and expanded the breeding area in his village and neighboring villages to more than 600 acres.
Which field is suitable for planting old lotus, which field is suitable for shrimp and rice co-breeding... After 6 years of exploration, Liu Jie has become a bamboo in the new rural breeding model. The sales problem that many people are worried about is not a matter for him, "I am only worried about production, not about sales." After opening up sales channels for themselves through the mobile APP "One Mu Tian" platform, offline vendors flocked to an endless stream. "Every year, when I want to sell shrimp or fish, people take the initiative to come to them. I start the net on order. ”
The 64-year-old mother still lives in the village, with fish ponds in front of and behind the house. The old man could not stay idle, and planted all the fields with sesame seeds, rapeseed, and vegetables with green and green vegetables in all seasons. The wife works in a garment factory in the town, and her 11-year-old son goes to school nearby. "Happiness is a struggle." Thinking about everything he has now, Liu Jie sighed, "The country is rich and strong, as long as we ordinary people are diligent and hardworking, we can live a good life anywhere."
