"Let's try it, the little hanging gourd just picked in the morning is sweet and thirst-quenching. On April 27, Zhao Jian, a melon farmer in Wuligang Village, sat next to a melon stall at the head of the field and introduced to two customers who parked to inquire about the price.
At present, the small hanging melons planted in Wuligang Village, Dongfeng Road Street, Zhongmu County have begun to mature, "the melons are ripe early, they are listed in advance, and they can be sold at a good price." Zhao Jian said.
Zhao Jian's wife, Ma Cuiping, introduced that she has a total of three greenhouses in her home, covering an area of 3.5 acres, all of which are planted with L600 small hanging melons. "The yield of an acre of land is about 8,000 catties, and the melon per mu can earn more than 30,000 yuan in a season. ”
Growing melons is more profitable than growing other crops such as garlic, and Zhao Jian said that in the past, most villagers planted seedless watermelons, but later switched to small hanging melons. "The seedless watermelon is too big, one person can't eat it all, it will be bad after a long time, the small hanging gourd is small, and the taste is better, eat a small hanging gourd after a meal, it tastes great. In comparison, the market price of this kind of melon is also slightly more expensive, and the income of the same acre of land has increased. ”
Zhao Jianheng, a member of the Wuligang Village Committee and an agricultural broker, said frankly that the small hanging melon has enriched the villagers.
"I have been growing watermelons in greenhouses for more than 20 years, and there are currently more than 200 watermelon greenhouses with an area of more than 500 acres. From open-field watermelon to seedless watermelon is a stage, and then to the small hanging gourd is another stage of upgrading and improvement, since the planting of small hanging gourd, the village has undergone visible changes, family income is higher, every household has bought a car, some have built a new house, everyone's mental outlook is different. ”
Wuligang Village is very close to Zhongmu County, close to Provincial Highway 225 and Zhengmin Expressway, and its location and transportation advantages have added a boost to watermelon sales. "The village 'two committees' actively help the masses to find customers and promote sales, and every year, there are stable merchants from outside the province such as Beijing and Guangzhou to the village to buy small hanging melons. Zhao Jianheng said that whether it is the retail stalls in the ground, or the citizens in Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and other places to pick, coupled with the stable purchase of merchants, so that the supply of small hanging melons exceeds demand, melon farmers do not worry about sales, sitting on the ground to sell out watermelons.
"In addition to the geographical advantages of my village, we also have industrial advantages, watermelon, morels, all kinds of vegetables are readily available, the next step, the village 'two committees' plan to develop rural tours, picking tours, the general public can take their children to the village to pick on holidays, taste farm food, feel the rural life. Now that the watermelon is ripe, citizens are welcome to come to the greenhouse to pick it, and it is enough!" Zhao Jianheng said.
