CCTV Ningbo, December 29 News (Reporter Zhang Wenwen Correspondent Feng Xuan Zhu Yu) "The vent is a little higher, at least one meter above the ground, and the thermal insulation performance is good." "If the land is not flat enough, it will affect the emergence rate of the next year. ”...... In winter, the southern Xinjiang is frozen and cold, and it enters a long agricultural season. In Tuzilukdun Village, Wucha Town, Kuqa City, a steaming training class was held in the greenhouse.
The teacher's name is Ding Weihong, and he is a senior agronomist of the Ningbo Academy of Agricultural Sciences. In the past 10 years, Mr. Ding has taught more than 30 on-site classes in the village. This time he entered the village, and he had a new title - the head of the first batch of science and technology missions in Zhejiang to aid Xinjiang.
The more than 40 students surrounding Mr. Ding are all local villagers. They listened and asked questions, and from time to time wrote down two strokes in a small notebook, for fear of missing the "knowledge points".
Teacher Ding taught everyone to grow melons, and it took 10 years to teach them, making this small Uygur village on the edge of the Tarim Basin a well-known "melon village".

Show amateur skills in front of an expert
"What? Zhejiang people want to teach us how to grow melons?" said villager Kahal Kadeer, who remembers the first time he met Mr. Ding.
It was March 2014, when a loudspeaker in the village informed that Ningbo, which supports Kuqa, had sent experts to teach melon planting techniques. Who doesn't know that Xinjiang is the hometown of melons and fruits in China and the origin of cantaloupe. Ningbo people teach Xinjiang people to grow melons, isn't this an axe?
It took several mobilizations before the class barely filled up. Mr. Ding, who taught the class, was in his early 40s, not tall, with black and red skin, like a farmer. The melon samples he brought with him were the same as his, and they were not good-looking. "This is the crispy flesh melon we developed, which has three 'bloodlines', cantaloupe, Japanese melon and European melon, which is especially suitable for growing in Xinjiang. ”
The villagers looked at it and shook their heads, "This melon is too small, two or three catties each, and it can't be compared with cantaloupe." "Even if you plant it, you won't be able to sell it, and you won't even be able to earn 1,000 yuan per mu of cotton land." ”......

10 years ago, the economy of Tuzilukdun Village was still relatively backward, the villagers mainly planted cotton, occasionally planted some cantaloupe, the village 337 villagers, the average annual income of 5,000 yuan.
Only by introducing high-efficiency crops can the economy develop and the villagers become rich. At that time, the Kuqa County Government and the Ningbo Municipal Xinjiang Aid Headquarters agreed to carry out a pilot project in Tuzilukdun Village, provide seeds free of charge, carry out planting technology training, be responsible for market sales, and subsidize 1,500 yuan per mu of melons.
In the spring of that year, Kahal Kader tried to grow 2 acres of new varieties of melons and became the first person in the village to "eat crabs".
Unexpectedly, only a month after the melon seedlings were planted, a sandstorm suddenly came, and Cahar Kader saw that the cantaloupe planted by his neighbor in the cotton field was "wiped out", and half of his own small melons survived tenaciously. A few months later, when the melons were ripe, Kahar Kader invited everyone to taste them, and it was really fragrant and sweet, very "Yakesi".
That year, the 200 acres of melons planted in the village brought more than 30,000 yuan of income to the villagers, and the "little melons that are not afraid of sand and dust" in Tuzilukdun Village became famous all of a sudden.

Move melons and grafts
"In the past few years, some new varieties of melons have been introduced in various places, and in the past few years, the melons have become smaller and smaller...... "Regarding the new varieties, the villagers are still a little unsure.
"In order to avoid the degradation of the variety, we first graft the seeds onto the pumpkin or melon rootstock, and then provide the seedlings to everyone. "Behind Mr. Ding's move, there is a strong support from the entire R&D team of the Ningbo Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Southern Xinjiang has strong wind and sand, high temperature, and saline-alkali land is easy to defertilize. In view of these characteristics, the Ningbo Aid Xinjiang Headquarters and the Ningbo Academy of Agricultural Sciences have joined hands to continuously improve melon varieties.
The breeding of new varieties is a time-consuming systematic project. Behind the emergence of each new breed is countless failures.
Ding Weihong, who is obsessed with the cultivation of new melon varieties, laughs at himself as a "melon-eating masses". Every harvest season, in addition to measuring various indicators with instruments, he also has to personally test the taste of melons, from "blood sugar spikes" to "nausea when he sees melons".

"No. 5 melon is crunchy, but the skin is slightly thin, not resistant to transportation, No. 7 melon is hard and crisp, heat resistance is better, our latest successful combination is No. 9 melon, which is large and resistant to transportation, and has the rich aroma of cantaloupe......"
Before Mr. Ding's voice fell, the "post-00" Yunus Maimaiti hurriedly asked: "Can you let me try to plant dozens of acres of 'No. 9' first?"
"You can't run away anymore this time, everyone wants to plant 'No. 9'. There was a burst of laughter in the greenhouse.
"Yongtian No. 5", "Yongtian No. 7" and "Yongtian No. 9", the little melon has been improved and upgraded like magic. Perhaps the original name was too blunt, and the villagers gave three beautiful names to the three generations of melons, which were called "unity melon", "revitalization melon" and "common wealth melon".

Melon out of the territory
A small melon makes everyone's wallet bulge, and the days are more rushed.
Yunus Mamat told Mr. Ding that he sold melons live on Douyin, which led to the "electrocution" of more than 10 villagers: "This year, I bought a car, added new furniture and computers, and became the leader of the village to get rich. ”
Kahal Kader spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy hundreds of sheep. "Sheep manure is used as fertilizer, and melons are sweeter. He said that next year he plans to plant melons in greenhouses, and the melons will be marketed in the morning for a month or two, and they can be sold at a good price.
"Teacher Ding comes to our village three or four times a year, and usually contacts us on WeChat. Under his guidance, we have adopted multi-mode planting, and the melons are sold for a much longer period of time, from early summer to mid-autumn. The words of the village party branch secretary Ali Pazili are full of pride.

More "sweetness" is spreading in the land of southern Xinjiang.
At present, the planting area of "Yongtian" series melons in Kuqa City has exceeded 15,000 mu. Every season when melons and fruits are fragrant, truckloads of melons cross the Tianshan Mountains, go out of Xinjiang, and are transported to the distant Yangtze River Delta and other places.
In order to sell melons well, in addition to working breeding, it is also necessary to promote standardized planting techniques. Mr. Ding told everyone that the Ningbo Academy of Agricultural Sciences is formulating the planting technical standards for the "Yongtian" series of melons.
"In the next class, we will bring the technical standards of the 'bilingual version', which will make it easier for everyone to learn Xi. "The half-day training session is coming to an end, and the afterglow of the sunset passes through the gap in the sky-high aspen and sprinkles on Ding Weihong's face, like the original dream, blooming and blooming.
