In March and April every year, the wild sour jujube buds all over the mountains have become the treasure in the eyes of the villagers, and they have also become the hot-selling "trendy products" in the market of Hongfanchi Town. Recently, in the Hongling Agricultural Planting Professional Cooperative in Hongfanchi Town, the reporter learned that in the past few days, wild sour jujube buds have been found everywhere in major stalls and are well received by the public.
Retaining the "Taste of Spring"
On the western slope of Zhouhe Village, Hongfanchi Town, you can see the busy scene of villagers picking wild jujube buds everywhere.
With the concept of healthy life deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the sour jujube bud tea, known as the "Oriental sleeping leaf", has gradually become people's "new favorite". "Our jujube bud tea starts to be picked every year around the valley rain, and only the buds of wild small jujube trees are selected, and the picking period is very short," said Zhou Hongling, head of the Hongling Agricultural Planting Cooperative. ”
It is understood that the sales of wild jujube bud tea are booming year by year, the purchase price is about 20 yuan a catty, through frying, storage, to retain the "taste of spring", can be sold for a whole year, further extending the sales cycle.
Wild tree buds have become the "way to make money" for the masses
"The mountains are full of wild jujube trees, I didn't expect to make money! I can pick one or two catties in two or three hours, and I play at home, so I can exercise my body and make money. At the end of the day, you can earn more than 60 yuan when you are less, and you can earn more than 100 yuan when you are more. At the collection point in Hongfanchi Town, Uncle Zhou, who is over sixty years old, said happily. The villagers gathered around to exchange picking experiences with each other, and their faces were full of happy smiles.
At the same time, Zhang Fang, a villager in Changweiya Village, Hongfanchi Town, was very lively. It turned out that she was frying jujube buds, and the nearby villagers all ran to her home to watch and learn the experience of frying. As the "spokesperson" of agricultural products in the village, Zhang Fang has done a good job in the sales of agricultural products, and is currently actively exploring e-commerce sales. Now, she also smelled the business opportunities of wild sour jujube buds, and began to lead the masses to pick, fry and sell.
After learning about this situation, Wang Dengquan, the first secretary of Changweiya Village, actively helped the masses to find a way to sell. He hopes that the "wild meat" from the depths of the mountains will be realized as soon as possible and put into the wallets of the masses.
The game economy is booming everywhere
After several years of development, the picking of wild jujube buds has radiated and driven more than 1,000 villagers in 34 villages of Hongfanchi Town to increase their income, becoming a new bright spot for the villagers of Hongfanchi Town to get rich, increase the income of the village collective, and improve agricultural efficiency.
In addition to breeding sour jujube trees in the mountains, Yin Chen and dandelions have also become the new favorites of the market. Many villagers can't imagine that the wild tree buds and weeds that are so ordinary in their eyes have become a healthy tea with good taste, aroma and great nutrition after being skillfully stir-fried.
Not only that, the pepper leaves that used to be "unwanted" have now become "fragrant and sweet". "I stored 10,000 catties of pepper leaves in the cold storage to steam flower rolls, all of which were collected from the villagers, and the purchase price was the most expensive at 20 yuan a catty. Zhou Hongling said. Through value development and "turning waste into treasure", the small pepper leaf has become a new magic weapon to increase income.
Eating spring in spring brings out a mouth full of spring fragrance, and green and wild vegetables puff up the villagers' money bags. In the next step, Hongfanchi Town will continue to develop deep processing, extend the industrial chain, actively build a brand of special agricultural products, and explore a "wild" way to promote farmers' income by integrating resource development and ecological picking.
