Xiaolin yellow ginger has been planted in Yuhang for more than 1,000 years, because it is abundant in the Xiaolin area north of Linping Mountain, so it is called "Xiaolin yellow ginger". According to records, as early as the Northern Song Dynasty Kangding year (1040 AD), the Xiaolin area was already rich in old ginger. Xu Jianrong said that compared with foreign ginger, the most prominent advantage of Kobayashi yellow ginger is that the spicy sauce is thick and the flavor is fragrant, "the cooking time will not become soft and scattered, and when cooking vegetables, there is less slag, and it is easier to taste." ”
Xu Jianrong's hometown is in Qianyuan on the edge of the small forest, when he was a child, almost every household planted ginger, and at that time, Xu Jianrong followed his grandparents and fathers to plant, weed and harvest in the ginger field. In his memory, in the 1970s and 1980s, the area around Xiaolin and Qianyuan was full of ginger fields, and the planting area reached more than 3,000 mu at the most, which was one of the main economic sources for local farmers. However, with the acceleration of urbanization and the impact of foreign ginger, the planting area of Kobayashi yellow ginger has shrunk year by year. By 2013, less than 2 acres of turmeric were planted in the Kobayashi area.
"Such a good yellow ginger must be revived"
"At that time, I felt sorry that our ginger was no worse than foreign ginger." Xu Jianrong said that Xiaolin yellow ginger is one of the seven major gingers in China, which is not only of good quality, but also has high medicinal value and has a lot of room for development.
Xu Jianrong said that in 2013, he engaged in turtle and blackfish farming. One day, the staff of the District Agricultural Bureau contacted him, hoping that he could take the lead in resuming the cultivation of Xiaolin yellow ginger, and Xu Jianrong, who had this idea, agreed. He believes that in order to make Xiaolin yellow ginger bigger and stronger, the key is to fill the gap of 20 years of cultivation technology without updating, and at the same time work promotion and sales.
In 2015, Xu Jianrong, a member of the CPPCC District Committee, submitted a proposal on "increasing the protection of Xiaolin's yellow ginger planting resources", which was paid attention to by the District Agricultural Technology Extension Center and government departments. In the same year, he tried to plant 5 acres of Xiaolin yellow ginger in Xinyu Village, Canal Street, and after success, Xu Jianrong, who tasted the sweetness, expanded the planting area to 30 mu in 2016, and in the same year, he harvested nearly 100,000 jin of young ginger and old ginger, with a total income of more than 300,000 yuan and an economic benefit of more than 10,000 yuan per mu.
Cultivation to cleaning Technical limitations are broken through layer by layer
"To make Kobayashi yellow ginger into an industry, it is not enough for me to rely on myself." In 2016, Xu Jianrong led the establishment of the Xiaolin Yellow Ginger Professional Cooperative, which led the surrounding farmers to drive the surrounding farmers through the free provision of ginger seeds and technical assistance throughout the process, and successfully absorbed more than 20 farmers from Xinyu Village, Shuangqiao Village, Wuhang Village and so on. In just one year, The planting area of Xiaolin yellow ginger has exceeded 100 acres.
Combined with planting experience and the guidance of experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Xu Jianrong also used biological agents to overcome the obstacles and technical bottlenecks of continuous cropping of Xiaolin yellow ginger in the same plot by improving soil conditions. He also led the formulation of Yuhang's first "Xiaolin Yellow Ginger Cultivation Technical Standard", which provided technical support for large-scale planting. At the same time, Xu Jianrong explored a complete set of schemes for the early maturation of Xiaolin yellow ginger, so that the young ginger was harvested between early June and mid-July, and the harvesting period was 2 to 3 months earlier, which was listed earlier than the Shandong young ginger and increased the market competitiveness.
Let Xiaolin Huang Ginger walk out of Yuhang
"A product must be done for a long time and well, and it must have local characteristics." Xu Jianrong said that to this end, he also submitted a proposal on "protecting the seed resources of local agricultural products in Yuhang District". Under the organization of the District Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, he participated in the preparation of the Yuhang Traditional Famous Native Germplasm Resources Garden, and collected and protected the local agricultural products of Yuhang such as Chongxian Water Chestnut, Linping Sugarcane, Xiaolin Yellow Ginger, etc., further excavated the traditional agricultural culture, and helped the establishment and promotion of agricultural product brands.
In addition to the traditional marketing model of entering the supermarket, according to the principle of homology of Kobayashi yellow ginger medicine and food, Xu Jianrong led the team to implement unified acquisition and unified sales through brand operation, and the cooperative has successfully developed derivative products such as ginger tea and vinegar ginger, which has enhanced the added value of Kobayashi yellow ginger. The team continues to expand sales channels and enter the medicinal materials sales market, becoming a well-known Chinese medicine museum as a medicinal material supply base.
