In 2021, Li Tiangen's original life year, after the end of the year, he is 60 years old. Driving a black Land Rover, at noon on the last day of 2020, the "old onion" and the hourly news reporter met at their own shallot field.

"It's too cold, you see, this soil is frozen, the green onions can't be dug, let's sell it after a while."
The vegetable field on the south bank of the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, the cold tide is coming, the Western style is cold, and the Shandong green onions planted by Li Tiangen are proud of the cold wind, green and oily, fat and waiting for the word to be in the middle.

<h4>Next, rely on Zhejiang green onions to support the waist</h4>
The wind was too strong, penetrating the clothes, blowing the skin of the whole body cold, the green onion ground had no shelter, the wind was ventilated on all sides, and there was no way to treat people outside, or quickly hid back in the car to avoid the cold.
As soon as he got on the bus, Li Tiangen received a call from Jiangsu onion friends: "Oh, you guys such as East Green onions have now sold for 3.2 yuan / catty, we are here, we want to sell them after New Year's Day." ”
In addition to the cold onions are not easy to dig, the main reason is that the northwest wind has been blowing sunny days, the water of the green onions evaporates too quickly, and the onions in one acre are dug up, and the amount is at least 1,000 pounds less.
Zhejiang people consume very little green onions, and local green onions are mainly sold in Shandong.
In December, Shandong has deep snow, and the green onions cannot be produced by themselves, and the green onions in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places will be successively listed for supply to Shandong.
Generally, Jiangsu scallions are sold in December, Zhejiang green onions are sold after New Year's Day, and will always be sold until April of the next year, while Shandong local scallions will not resume production until May.
After New Year's Day, when the temperature in Zhejiang drops below zero, the green onions in the field will fade their spicy taste and become sweet and sticky.
There is a saying among the onion farmers in Zhejiang that in the next few days, whether Shandong people can happily eat pancake rolls and scallions is mainly dependent on Zhejiang farmers.
<h4>Scallions "salted fish turned over",</h4>
<h4>This year's value has exceeded 3 yuan / catty</h4>
In the past few days, many green onion buyers in Shandong have called Li Tiangen, and the purchase price is 2.8 yuan-3 yuan / catty.
However, the "old onion" is still slow to sell, his current psychological price is 3 yuan -3.2 yuan / jin, the follow-up market price will rise, it is not known.
In 2019, the highest purchase price of green onions was only 0.6 yuan / jin, and later affected by the epidemic, it fell to 0.1 yuan / jin, in fact, the national green onion purchase price of less than 1 yuan / jin has been maintained for 3 years.
Li Tiangen planted 600 acres of green onions last year, the highest is 0.5 yuan / catty to sell, or lost a lot of money.
This year, the sharp rise in the price of green onions across the country stemmed from the overdraft production of farmers everywhere in previous years.
Farmers in the reclamation area on the south bank of the Qiantang River have always had the tradition of growing green onions.
According to the statistics of the local agricultural department, when the area was the largest, there were 30,000 mu of green onions reclaimed, and with the advancement of urban construction, the area of green onions was maintained at about 15,000 mu in these years, and in 2020, the area of green onions shrank seriously, leaving only 4,000 mu.
The price has been too low for several consecutive years, and many people dare not grow shallots this year. Li Tiangen has been planting green onions in reclamation for 15 years, which is the largest area planted in the local area, and this year he is also very conservative, planting only 200 acres.
200 acres of green onion land, is expected to earn 5 million yuan
The green onions purchased by Tanabe are all mud-footed, and buyers in Shandong will reprocess them into net green onions and sell them to the retail market.
"I knew that the market was so good this year, I had a variety of points, miscalculated."
Li Tiangen calculated an account for the hourly news reporter, the cost of planting green onions, including land rent, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, labor and other costs, of which rent and labor are the majority.
The yield of green onions per mu is 11,000-12,000 jin, the highest planting of "old onion" Li Tiangen is 15,000 jin /mu, and the highest record of green onions planted in the country is 18,000 jin /mu.
Li Tiangen estimated the profit of growing his own green onions this year: "200 acres of green onion land can be sold for 6.7 million yuan, while the comprehensive cost of planting land is only more than 1 million yuan, and the gross profit should exceed 5 million yuan." ”
Such a good market, I have not encountered it for several years, I remember the last time was in 2016. At that time, the green onion sold for up to 3.7 yuan / catty, but unfortunately, that year, Li Tiangen only planted 200 acres of land.
"Old onion" calculated, and then excavated and sold shallots in half a month, because the situation of the shortage of green onions in the whole country this year has been determined, and he is still quite optimistic about the next market.

<h4>This year can earn 2 million yuan</h4>
In the reclamation area, most of the farmers who grow green onions are a few dozen acres, three or four families fight for 100 acres of land to plant together, and more than 100 acres are considered large households.
Yu Yinfeng, who is engaged in the local machinery leasing business, has also planted dozens of acres of green onions this year.
The main business is engineering, although planting onions is only his own side business, but Yu Yinfeng is also very careful in business.
Sowing seeds in may in the spring, when the onions grow to 15 centimeters, they must dig up and cut off the leaves, and then plant them one by one to return to the ground, and Yu Yinfeng will organize dozens of workers to work on the ground.
The green onions we eat, the white shallots, are constantly cultivated in the summer and buried in the soil to turn white.
The soil layer of the green onion will eventually rise 50 cm above the ground, and throughout the growing season, the green onion will be artificially cultivated 4 times, and it is all in the hot summer, which is hard to imagine.
In December, the Zhejiang green onion, which has been growing for more than half a year, finally matured.
Recently, Yu Yinfeng's circle of friends, every day in their own field of green onions beautiful photos, waiting for buyers to come to the door to purchase, according to this year's market, he calculated, should be able to earn 2 million yuan.

In the cooking of onions, it usually belongs to the status of supporting roles, and not many people like it. However, there are more and more studies showing that the nutritional value of onions is definitely beyond your existing impressions, and it can be said that it is almost magical
"Eating green onions is good", but what is the good? ... It's not just about sterilization!
The "sulfur-containing organic compounds" and quercetins (also known as quercetinone) contained in onions have been confirmed to be mostly contributed to the efficacy of these two ingredients.
In addition, the three major nutrients are more glycans and proteins, among which sulfur amino acids and arginine in proteins can prevent arteriosclerosis. In addition to sulfur, minerals have many vanadium, which can prevent cholesterol from attaching to blood vessels and prevent heart disease; vitamins are most abundant in vitamin C.
Lowers blood sugar
Green onions can be used as anti-diabetic drugs! Because according to the clinical trial of lowering blood glucose, it does have an 80% effect, and at the same time does not cause hypoglycemia, it is a safe and effective anti-diabetic food.
Blood cleansing function
Fibrinolytic state (dissolved fibers make blood circulation smooth) and high blood pressure, high blood lipids, arteriosclerosis... All related. According to the experiment, people who consume enough onions per week have the highest fibrinolytic activity, but the fibrinolytic activity without eating or eating less is low, which shows that onions can improve fibrinolytic activity and achieve blood cleansing.
Improves constipation
The sulfur component of green onion combines with proteins in the large intestine, or bacteria in the intestine, forming hydrogen sulfide, which can promote intestinal peristalsis. Rich soluble food fiber can stimulate the intestines and make the movement more vigorous, while oligosaccharides can also inhibit the proliferation of bad bacteria in the intestine, effectively improving the common constipation symptoms of girls.
Prevent osteoporosis
The hussier flavonoids contained in green onions have an estrogen-like effect, which can be comparable to female hormones or osteoporosis drugs, and there are studies that eating 200-300g of onions per day can effectively prevent osteoporosis.

Glutathione is too inhibitive of melanin production and has an ameliorating effect on eczema, dermatitis, urticaria or liver spots. And huscarped flavonoids are anti-UV and have a whitening effect.
